In this way, relying on his "loyalty", Xin Yushu stayed as he wished.
But after he agreed to stay, Liu Bang took him directly to the breeding farm, without giving him a chance to learn more in the mansion.
When he arrived at the breeding farm, Xin Yushu realized that what Ran Fang wanted was not a small sheepfold, but a large grassland.
In his long life, this was the first time he had seen such a vast breeding farm. The sheep could graze freely here, and it could be seen from a distance that the sheep were well cared for.
Also, Ran Fang valued the sheep more than he thought.
This also made him determined not to betray Ran Fang's trust, but also to let Ran Fang and the others see that he could indeed do better.
And all his performances were seen by Ran Fang. After confirming his strength, Ran Fang prepared the next plan.
On this day, he asked Yi Bai from the Mo family to come over, saying that he had something to discuss.
Yi Bai was a little excited when he received the news. After all, it would be a big event for Ran Fang to invite him personally.
But he didn't expect that when he arrived, he would find that the public transport weir was also there.
"See the Commander."
After saluting, he stood up, looked at Gongshu Yan, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongshu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here today. What an honor."
Gongshu Yan sat there, responded with a smile, and said calmly: "Yes."
"If I hadn't invited you today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me."
Yi Bai rolled his eyes at him and sat on the chair opposite him.
"I am too lazy to argue with you here today."
After saying that, he and Gong Shuyan looked at Ran Fang at the same time, waiting for his next instructions.
After seeing the two of them bickering, Ran Fang said, "I wonder if you have ever seen a loom?"
The two looked at each other and nodded quickly.
Gongshu Yan was the first to speak: "Of course I have seen it before."
"Could it be that your lord wants us to make a loom?"
Seeing Ran Fang nod, a little loss flashed in their eyes at the same time.
I originally thought that Ran Fang would be able to see something novel like before, but he was asked to make a loom.
Although neither of them were happy, Ran Fang had spoken and they couldn't refuse.
Especially Gongshu Yan, who spoke first, just had to bite the bullet and answer: "When do you want to use it, sir?"
Even if he felt in his heart that he was overqualified for making a loom, Yi Bai couldn't let Gongshu Yan steal the limelight.
"Sir, I'll do it!"
"It can be done in two days."
Seeing that they were unsympathetic but still trying to show respect, Ran Fang couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to make an ordinary loom."
"If you do that, I won't look for you anymore."
"I plan to open a cloth workshop and make winter cotton clothes. In order to speed up the process of making clothes, I want to make a loom that can speed up the process."
"It's a water-powered loom. It's very similar to the waterwheel I asked you to make before, except this time it drives a loom."
"Are you confident?"
When he heard that he was making something novel again, Gongshu Yan, who was a little disappointed at first, immediately said: "I have confidence!"
"I never thought that this waterwheel could be connected with the loom."
"I will study it when I get back and make it as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Gongshu Yan had taken the lead in this matter, Yi Bai immediately followed and said: "I can do it too."
"Isn't it just to make a hydraulic loom? If it's not difficult for me, I can do it!"
Seeing how positive they were, Ran Fang felt even more relieved.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then both of you will do this."
"There are ten looms in total. Each of you will make five."
"After I choose the address, you can just send the finished loom there."
This answer satisfied both of them, and they no longer struggled with who was valued by Ran Fang.
"Here!"
Yi Bai glanced at Gong Shuyan provocatively, as if to tell him that there was absolutely no way he could lose to him.
But he didn't expect that Gong Shuyan didn't look at him at all, but asked: "Sir, do you want to make cotton clothes?"
"What is this cotton coat?"
Hearing his question, Yi Bai also looked at Ran Fang with some doubts. He was just focused on grabbing the limelight, and for a moment he forgot to ask what this thing was.
Ran Fang looked at their confused eyes and then remembered that there were no cotton-padded clothes in Da Qin, and to be precise, there was no cotton.
Their way to keep out the cold in winter is to wear more layers of clothes.
For those whose home conditions are not good, they can only rely on a healthy body to keep out the cold in winter.
So it’s normal that they don’t know the concept of cotton-padded clothes.
"It means adding warm things to clothes, such as wool, goose feathers, rabbits, etc., to make clothes warmer."
"You can also make these things into threads, and then use the threads to make clothes, hats, gloves, etc., which are very comfortable and warm."
"You first make the water-powered loom, and then you make a few carding machines, and then you can weave animal hair."
Listening to Ran Fang's explanation, they all had ideas in their minds and were very concerned about this matter.
Especially Gongshu Yan. When he heard that cotton-padded clothes could keep out the cold, the first thing he thought of was Meng Tian who was guarding him in the north.
Every winter, the Xiongnu would harass the border from time to time, so every winter was a protracted and arduous war for the Qin soldiers who stood in the north.
Not only because of the Huns' toughness, but also because of the winter that they couldn't survive.
"Sir, if this cotton coat is finished, can I buy some first?"
Hearing this, Yi Bai's rebellious little cells started to get restless again.
He interrupted directly: "Are you too anxious?"
"Of course it's my lord who has the final say as to who this cotton coat will be sold to. If you speak in such a hurry, isn't this embarrassing my lord?!"
"Besides, if you want to buy some, how many losers are there in your family?"
Being so irritated by him, Gongshu Yan was not angry. Instead, he was worried that Ran Fang would think too much. He quickly explained: "That's not the case."
"I bought this cotton coat because I wanted to give it to General Meng Tian."
"I know General Meng Tian and know how poor he is in the north. Winter is coming in a few months and the winter there is extremely cold. I want to buy a cotton coat for him."
As soon as he said this, Yi Bai immediately lowered his head in shame and apologized for his arrogant words just now.
However, when Ran Fang heard his grand words, he felt a little admired that he could see such a long-term horizon.
He smiled and said: "Not for sale!"
Yi Bai looked at Ran Fang in surprise, not expecting that he was such a person, and looked at him with some disappointment.
As a result, Ran Fang continued to say: "I will deliver this cotton coat."
"After it is completed, I will personally send cotton-padded clothes to General Meng, so that all the soldiers of Great Qin can have warm cotton-padded clothes to wear!"
