"If it is made into a coat to keep out the cold," Guo Pei said, patting the cotton coat again, "it will be like this, thick and warm!"

The so-called overcoat is a garment with a lining that can be filled with fillers.

In this era, winter clothing and outer robes were basically overcoats.

The best ones are fur clothes, that is, fur.

The dog thief in Meng Tangjun's guest's dog thief steals a fox-white fur coat.

As for those rich people in the countryside, they may not even have a fur coat at home, and they wear cotton clothes in winter.

Note, it is a cotton coat, not a cotton coat.

Cotton clothing is made of silk floss, which comes from silkworm cocoons, so it is called cotton clothing.

Of course, Feng Langjun descended from heaven to the Han Dynasty and made woolen materials from wool, adding another kind of cold-proof clothing to the people of the Han Dynasty.

Its price is almost the same as that of fine cotton clothes.

However, none of the above three items can be afforded by Cangtou Guizhou.

After all, even in the industrial age, the price of real wool clothing was not low.

Therefore, the lowest level of clothing to keep out the cold is the linen robe.

The stuffing inside is tangled hemp, or what Wang Chen calls reed catkins.

Min Ziqian, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius and famous for his filial piety, wore this kind of clothes:

The father took his second wife and gave birth to two sons. Qian provided for his parents and showed filial piety. The stepmother was jealous of him, so the son he gave birth to was his own son, and his clothes were covered with cotton wool. Zi Qian was clothed with reed catkins.

This is the origin of the so-called "Lu Yi Shun Mu".

No matter how much hemp or reeds are filled, it is of little use.

Those who deserve to freeze to death will still freeze to death.

When Wang Chen heard Guo Pei's words, he subconsciously grasped the thick coat on the table, as if he had grasped something, and his heart suddenly pounded.

He looked at the coat carefully and touched the fabric:

"Yes, it's not like hemp, nor like silk. It's a little worse than silk, but it's much better than hemp."

He squeezed the clothes again, "I'm afraid it looks warmer than cotton clothes, but I don't know how much it costs?"

Guo Pei smiled: "This white fold can be grown like mulberry and hemp, and the catkins it produces can be directly spun into clothing materials. It is much more convenient than mulberry hemp."

"We don't know how to raise sheep and weave wool, but among you here, which one of your families doesn't have land? As long as you grow more, no matter how expensive it is, how can it be expensive?"

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic needs of the people.

Why should food and clothing come first?

It is because these two are the most important and indispensable.

As long as it is related to the needs of the people of the world, it is a big business that can make the country rich.

For example, salt.

No one present is a fool.

A fool cannot be the representative of a big family.

The huge room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone is trying hard to digest the news.

Not to mention it is warmer than cotton clothes, as long as it is as warm as cotton clothes.

It is easier to make than cotton clothes and the cost is lower. Who will wear cotton clothes then?

Let’s not talk about the rich people in the countryside, but in the army, the mainstream clothing for soldiers to keep out the cold is still cotton clothing - inferior cotton clothing made of silkworm cocoon scraps.

Even among the Han army, those who could afford to wear clothes made of wool would still be middle- and low-level generals commanding at least 500 men.

Not to mention that it can also be made into ordinary clothing, which is better than linen clothing.

It can be used as a substitute for both hemp and cotton. You can imagine how broad the prospects would be if it were available?!

"Gudong!"

Some people couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Gudong..."

…

"The matter is so big, how can we draw conclusions so easily?"

Wang Chen was much more sober. He looked at Guo Pei:

"If this is really the case, then how could Feng Duhu easily grant it to us? Let alone the Xinghan Society, how could he turn a blind eye?"

Yes, this is unreasonable.

Everyone's eyes were turned to Guo Pei.

Guo Pei didn't panic, bent down for the third time, took out a notebook with more than ten pages from the box, and handed it to Wang Chen:

"This is from Feng Duhu, please take a look."

Wang Chen took it and saw on the cover: "Feasibility Report on Promoting Cotton Cultivation."

"cotton?"
