Looking at the back of Butler Zhou leaving, Yan Liqiang sat on a chair in the flower hall, quietly thinking and planning some things to do next. Once it started, he would never be able to stop.

Yan Liqiang asked someone to collect the wool. Of course, the wool was not taken to see it, but to use it.

It is also a very strange thing to say, because Yan Liqiang has discovered a phenomenon since he came to this world, that is, there seems to be no wool textile technology at all. In the entire Han Empire, there are almost no wool textiles. The raw materials for people's clothes on their bodies include coarse cloth, linen cloth, satin, silk, various yarn, brocade, and even animal skins, cotton, various hemp, and various silk fabrics, which are diverse and meet the needs of people of different classes. Only wool textiles, and even the most common wool textiles, have never appeared.

Yan Liqiang has seen many people wearing sheepskin, but only people wearing wool textiles. Yan Liqiang has almost never seen any of them.

At the beginning, Yan Liqiang thought that only the Han Empire was like this, but later he discovered that it was not only the Han Empire, but people in this world, at least so far, had not mastered simple and effective wool processing technology. The first process that wool had to go through to become a textile, and the most technical level was the degreasing of wool. The situation had become an insurmountable mountain, blocking wool from the door to textile raw materials.

Yan Liqiang also heard that some nomadic tribes have wool textiles, but there are very few wool textiles from this nomadic tribe, and few people wear them, and they are not popularized or promoted at all. Yan Liqiang has seen such wool textiles once before. Not to mention anything else, such textiles become jackets and vests and wear them on their bodies. A few meters away, you can smell the fishy smell on them, which can make people fumigate. This is what wool is forced to make when it is not completely defatted. Moreover, such clothes are very unsightly. The processing process should be very rough, looking dirty and gray. All the wool on it is condensed into a ball, which is not as good as the lowest-grade coarse cloth. Even wearing sheepskin is better than that.

The defat of wool is an impossible task for others, but for Yan Liqiang, thanks to the knowledge reserves of his previous life retained in his brain, the defat of wool is an extremely simple thing for him.

Wool without degreases are piles of unusable garbage, and the degreased wool can be turned into spinning after simple treatment. With spinning, exquisite and warm wool cloth and various blended wool and cotton linen can be easily manufactured. The wool textile industry can also develop from the perspective of the development level and profit of the cotton fabric industry. If a little technical means are added to increase the production efficiency a little, the wool textile industry can completely develop into a profit-making industry. This is not Yan Liqiang's arbitrary judgment, but something that has been proven in Yan Liqiang's previous life.

The Han Empire was a huge market! I took the lead in eating crabs, and the wool defat technology would spread out in the blink of an eye.

There are actually not many places where sheep can be raised in Ganzhou and the northwest states. Many places are wilderness and do not grow grass. The number of sheep can be raised is limited. However, the Gulang Grassland near the northwest is a natural ranch!

On one side, there are abundant profits and scarce wool resources, while on the other side, it is occupied by the Seven Shatu tribes, which can raise many sheep. In theory, it is the Gulang grassland that belongs to the territory of the Han Empire. This is the contradiction!

Capital is timid in nature to escape unrest and disputes. This is true, but not the whole truth. Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of vacuum. Once there is a proper profit, capital becomes bold. If there is a profit of 10, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a profit of 20, it becomes active; if there is a profit of 50, it takes risks; for the profit of 100, it dares to trample on all human laws; if there is a profit of 300, it dares to commit any crime, or even risk the danger of being hung. If unrest and disputes can bring profits, it will encourage unrest and disputes.

This is Marx's words. What drives capital is actually human nature. Human nature will make the most suitable decision when conflicts arise!

All you need is to be prepared, then press the start button and step on the accelerator. The historical train will rumble forward with huge inertia...

Such a perspective and vision are something that no one else in this world does, and this is Yan Liqiang's real killer weapon.

Just as Yan Liqiang was combing out the thoughts in his head, the little girl Yu Qing had already arrived in the flower hall lightly and stood in front of Yan Liqiang, with a little disgusting and nervous expression.

"Ahem...what is wrong? It's not so good to see your face. Does anyone else dare to bully my Qing'er in the Yan family?" Yan Liqiang originally wanted to squeeze the little girl's face, but when he wanted to stretch out his hand, he saw the little girl's figure that had begun to develop rapidly and her pretty face with a peach-colored look. He felt that the action of pinching her face was too ambiguous, so he held it back, coughed twice, and asked with a smile.

"Young Master, are you... going to marry the lady of the Lu family..." Yu Qing lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and asked in a low voice like a mosquito.

"Haha, who did you hear?"

"Every servants at home know, even Ma Wu knows it. They all say that the young master had already gone to the Lu family two days ago to settle the marriage!"

"Yes, the Lu family and I have indeed finalized the marriage. We have just waited for three years. After I was in the prime of my life, I will marry the lady of the Lu family!" Yan Liqiang said frankly.

"Will that young man...will he still want me after getting married to Miss Lu? Will he drive me away?" Yu Qing raised her little face and looked at Yan Liqiang's eyes with a worried look.

"Yes, of course, who said I don't want you anymore? Unless you want to get married in the future, I will prepare a thick dowry for you and marry you out as a sister!"

Yu Qing shook her head and said, "I won't get married... I won't get married for the rest of my life. I just like to be by my young master and serve him for the rest of my life!"

Yan Liqiang just regarded it as a joke from the little girl, and nodded, "Okay, as long as you like it, you will always follow you, I will never drive you away!"

"Young Master, to be honest?"

"Bold, you little girl dare to question the words of this young master, who is the first master of bowing in the northwest of the Han Empire and the emperor personally granted the words of this young master of the four outstanding young men in Liuhe Town, Qinghe County, Pingxi County?" Yan Liqiang pretended to be stern and said in a frightening manner to Yu Qing, "What I said is not fake!"

Yu Qing, the little girl, was stunned for two seconds before she realized what Yan Liqiang said just now. In just a moment, the little girl smiled like a flower, "I knew the best young master!" After saying this, the little girl ran away. After running out of the door, she showed a pretty face from behind the door, "By the way, I almost forgot. Wu Ma asked me to ask what the young master wanted to eat at night. Wu Ma wanted to teach me to cook for the young master with my own hands..."

"Haha, I haven't eaten the food made by Ma Wu for a long time, so let's tell Ma Wu to have a taro ball and a braised pork!"

"Okay..." The little girl ran away with a string of silver bell-like laughter.

In the evening, Yan Dechang came back with a smile. It was obvious that the opening of the water and lighter mill today made him very happy. That is, when the father and son were having dinner together, Yan Dechang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Li Qiang, there is one thing to discuss with you!"

"What's up?"

"Today, the sixth grandpa and several older people from the town came to me and said that according to the customs of Ganzhou and the northwest, our family built the fort wall of Liuhe Town to protect the safety of the villagers in the town. Liuhe Town will be renamed. In the future, Liuhe Town will be named Yan, so that people can tell at a glance that this is the Yan family's territory!"

"Ah, there are such rules!" Yan Liqiang looked at Yan Dechang in surprise, but when he thought of Lujiazhuang, he felt relieved. It is estimated that the Lu family's status in Lujiazhuang has also stabilized after building a fort for Lujiazhuang. He thought for a while, "It is a big deal to change the name of the town, so what do the villagers in the town have? "

Yan Dechang's face showed a smile, "Everyone agrees, the sixth grandpa and the others came to me on behalf of the villagers in the town. The sixth grandpa said Liqiang, you are so famous now. If Liuhe Town changed its name, Yan, the villagers in the town would go out and talk about where they came from, and they would benefit from it. No one dared to bully it casually! Several older people in the town wanted you to give the town a new name..."

Yan Liqiang thought about it and said, "Then call it Yan'anbao. Our Yan family is here to protect the safety of the villagers in the town..."
