Chapter 544

"I don't know what business it is. It can earn tens of millions of liang of silver a year?" Zhong Hongzhang asked curiously. Nearby Zhong Ruolan and shopkeeper he also looked at Yan Liqiang for fear of missing every word Yan Liqiang said.

"Of course, it's a business of turning waste into treasure!" Yan Liqiang smiled calmly, "if the Zhong family believes me, Mr. Zhong will go back this time and let the Zhong family do their best to hoard wool, buy pastures and prepare to raise sheep, because in the next few years, the wool in the northwest will become very popular, and those useless wool will become exquisite and expensive fabrics. It is not impossible to make ten million liang of silver a year!"

Zhong Hongzhang suddenly reacted and stared round. "Young master, have you found a way to use wool for fabric?"

"Yes, I already know how to turn wool into fabric!" Yan Liqiang said calmly that in the past two months, Yan Liqiang has already succeeded in sorting out all the steps. As long as the cheapest plant ash is made into soda ash, the degreasing problem of wool can be easily solved through simple cleaning steps, and the degreased sheep wool can be directly used for spinning like cotton after drying and combing, The spinning efficiency of ordinary spinning machine is too low, so Yan Liqiang has improved the spinning machine. In fact, the principle of hand-operated Jenny spinning machine is not complex, and it is not difficult to manufacture compared with ordinary workshops and family spinning machines. A few qualified carpenters are enough to win. After adopting Yan Liqiang's improved spinning machine, one can improve the spinning efficiency, Compared with the traditional spinning efficiency, it can be increased by 16 times. The spun yarn can be woven into cloth by the improved flying shuttle loom, and the efficiency is also improved by many times.

The three people of the Zhong family looked at Yan Liqiang in shock. Looking at the incredible eyes of the three people, Yan Liqiang no longer said anything, but stood up, "come with me, three. I'll take you to a place to see..."

Zhong Hongzhang, Zhong Ruolan and shopkeeper he naturally stood up. Yan Liqiang directly took the three people out of the Yan Family's living room and walked towards the Yan Family's backyard.

After taking a few steps, Zhong Hongzhang found that Yan Liqiang wanted to take several people back to the hospital, and specially reminded, "master Yan, is this convenient..."

"Ha ha, Mr. Zhong, don't worry. There are no women in the Yan Family's backyard. My father and I live separately in the backyard. There are only a few servants and maidens!" Yan Liqiang said, without stopping, and took the three directly through the corridor and two yards.

Along the way, the more they went inside, the more they felt that the security in the backyard was more and more strict. There were guards of the Yan Family guarding the heavy door. It was almost impossible for casual people to come in.

After sparing two minutes in the Yan Family's mansion, Yan Liqiang took the three people to a large yard. The guard of the yard was more strict. At the gate of the yard, there were six bodyguards directly guarding, and the gate of the yard was locked. The gate of the yard was not opened until Yan Liqiang came to let someone open the guard.

The yard is very spacious and large. On one side of the yard are several rooms where people can live. The middle of the yard is empty. There are no flower beds and plants. There are only flat floor tiles and wooden frames placed in the yard. The wooden frames are like steamed buns. Layers of dustpans are stacked on top of each other, while on the other side of the yard is a huge room, There was a faint sound of a similar loom and a wooden wheel turning in the room.

As soon as they came here, Zhong Hongzhang's eyes were immediately attracted by the layers of things drying in the yard. What was drying on the wooden frame was a piece of snow-white and soft things. From a distance, it looked like cotton. Yan Liqiang took the three people to a wooden frame. From a dustpan drying on the wooden frame, he reached out and grabbed a ball of things drying inside, He handed it to the three people in the Zhong family, "Mr. Zhong, if Miss Ruolan and any shopkeeper still recognize what this is?"

What you hold in your hand is as white and soft as a cloud. It is dazzling white in the sun. What you hold in your hand is fluffy. It has a special delicate feel, which is different from cotton. It has more texture. Looking at what you see, it is absolutely difficult for people who don't know to compare it with the half yellow and white impression, mixed with sediment, sundries, feces and lanolin, Pieces of sheep stuck together are linked to the wool on their bodies.

"This is... Wool?" Zhong Hongzhang asked in shock.

"Well, to be exact, it's sheep's wool. After a special treatment process, the sheep's wool that could not be used for weaving has become something in Mr. Zhong's hand. It has been dried completely and becomes almost like cotton. As long as it goes through another simple process, it can basically be used for weaving..."

"In the room over there, but someone is spinning with this thing?" Zhong Hongzhang asked, pointing to the big room not far away.

"Hahaha, now that you've all come here, you can follow me to have a look!" Yan Liqiang led the three people to the big room. "This yard is a special experimental place I arranged at home. I found six reliable couples in the town and promised them a lot of money to live in this yard for two months. They didn't contact outside, but explored the steps of using wool for weaving according to my orders and requirements. Except me, The three just looked at the spinning machine. Zhong Hongzhang knew that the value of the spinning machine was immeasurable. It was something that could improve a person's spinning efficiency by 16 times. Not to mention anything else, as long as a person had such a thing in her family, it would be great. A woman who can spin, shaking this, would be enough to feed a large family

On the other hand, the shuttle loom makes Zhong Hongzhang unable to open his eyes at once... "These appliances here are all made by myself.
