"I arranged for someone to buy silkworms. Haven't you started raising silkworms yet?" Shi Lei asked strangely.

He was not angry about this. These guards and farmers have always carried out their words thoroughly. If they hadn't started yet, there must be reasons for not starting.

"Silkworm seeds are easy to buy, but we don't have mulberry forests. We can't raise them even after buying them." The guard said with a sad face.

"Your sister." Shi Lei slapped his head and couldn't help but scold him.

This is a typical style of three-photographing party. I always think of everything I do, and I think of it one by one. After the arrangement, I took the belly and watched the show. I never continued to care about raising silkworms.

"There are eight brothers under my jurisdiction, but there are no sisters." The guard replied in a daze.

"Oh, your family is quite rich. Haha." Shi Lei tried his best to hide his embarrassment and could not tell the other party, this is a habitual swearing.

"Well" Shi Lei couldn't help but ponder. Think about what to do about this matter, what is the key?

In Shi Lei's opinion, silkworms are actually a caterpillar, and they are very edible. They grow faster if they eat more.

When it reaches a certain size, it will form a cocoon. What breaks out of the cocoon is the flapping moth. Then it lays eggs, hatches it and becomes a caterpillar, and it goes on and on.

And that beautiful silk is to open up their cocoons, peel them off, and then weave them out and become silk.

However, this caterpillar is also divided into different species, and at least it eats different things. Those who eat mulberry leaves are the most common mulberry silkworms.

Those who eat all kinds of oak trees are naturally tussus silkworms, which are the legendary celestial silkworms. Although they are not as exaggerated as in martial arts novels, this thing is naturally green and has a particularly beautiful silk texture, so it is very expensive and rare raw materials regardless of ancient and modern times.

Others and so on, such as castor silkworms, cassava silkworms, black silkworms, camphor silkworms, chestnut silkworms, and willow silkworms. As the name suggests, the leaves they eat are different.

Shi Lei thought that the kind of silk thread that could make fishing lines was actually camphor silk. And it was not a silk thread formed by cocoons. Instead, when it was mature, it was first soaked to death in water, and then tore the belly of the silkworm by hand, took out two silk glands, immersed in glacial acetic acid, and drawn silk threads.

After washing, it is smooth and transparent, tough and water-resistant, transparent and shadowless in the water, and is the best fishing line.

In addition to being used as fishing lines, it seems that sutures can also be made for surgical procedures.

Shi Lei rubbed his chin and continued to recall that the camphor silk made of fishing lines was good. But if you want to make silk, it seems not easy to use.

I can only raise a small amount of it to play with. One is the problem of silk quality, and the other is that this thing grows very slowly, and it seems that it takes ten days to grow one.

Why do people choose to raise mulberry silkworms, while others are less? One is because this thing was discovered first and all kinds of technologies are very mature, of course it has a lot to do with the easy search for mulberry trees as food sources.

But the most important reason, in Shi Lei's opinion, is that this kind of mulberry silkworm is a typical example of eating and eating. Isn't there a word called nibbling and swallowing whale, which means that this thing is definitely a foodie.

If you can eat and grow, you will naturally have high economic benefits. You can raise these mulberry silkworms in less than a month, and the other ones will take two or even three months. It is natural to see which one to choose to raise them.

However, because these mulberry silkworms are relatively best to raise, a problem has also been caused, that is, mulberry forests are often very expensive.

Especially in Shuzhong, those mature mulberry forests that have been cultivated well are all the money trees of various major families in Shuzhong.

Most of them were passed down from ancestors for generations, and no one could easily sell such treasure pots unless the family really couldn't live a life.

As for Shi Lei, the village, there are abundant resources and there are also many forests around it, but there are no densely grown mulberry trees.

Even if there are a few trees in a corner, it is not realistic to pick them back and forth, and it is not enough to satisfy the appetite of these foodies. What's more, Shi Lei can't figure out where to find these sporadic mulberry trees.

As for the current cultivation of mulberry forests, not to mention Shi Lei’s hands, they are not good at this. They are all crops from the Loess Plateau. They are good at serving crops, and fiddling with mulberry trees is really a bit blind.

Just say that this mulberry tree has been planted. When it grows, there will always be a process. Where can it be harvested by plant species? What you eat is its most important leaf.

However, after thinking for a long time, Shi Lei really thought of something suitable, that is, the amber silkworm.

Of course, this kind of silkworm grows up from amber, but uses nanmu leaves as the main food, other camphor trees, smirks, tiger thorns and wild yellow cephala. They all eat them. The food is quite mixed, which means they are easy to feed.

The most important reason why Shi Lei chose this amber silkworm is its food, because there is a forest in his own territory, and basically all kinds of nanmu are grown.

This kind of thing is definitely a good thing for making furniture. Shi Lei had a plan early in the morning to launch them as the signboard of his own furniture store.

Especially the golden nanmu that will definitely appear in it will definitely be the wealth-making machine at home.

Therefore, this forest was protected early as Shi Lei's request, and the farmers could not use it to log wood there casually.

Now there is another function to breed these amber silkworms, and there is no need to go everywhere to find food for them.

Moreover, the reason why this amber silkworm is called this is because the silk they produce is tough and has amber luster. The silk fabrics made of are often used to make precious clothing.

In other words, this thing is very valuable!

The only problem with such things is that the silkworm seeds cannot be found, because there are no ones who raise amber silkworms in the whole of Shu, but this is not a problem for Shi Lei.

Just get some ordinary mulberry silkworms and use the system to transform them. Isn’t it done? This thing is much cheaper, and the volume of silkworm eggs is even more energy-saving.

No matter how you think this is cost-effective, and every time you go out, the profit is much higher than that of raising mulberry silkworms.

"Buy the silkworm seeds as soon as possible. I have my own way to solve the problem according to the quantity I requested." Shi Lei waved his hand and said confidently.

The guard quickly agreed and ordered the task.

Shi Lei had no intention of continuing to fish, and his mind was filled with the beautiful money for raising silkworms, as well as various subsequent development plans.

Looking at the corner of his mouth that could not be pulled, I knew that this guy had thought of something beautiful, and he must have been floating again.

When those naughty children saw that the head of the family was thinking about things again, they all ran away with a wink and went to other river sections to have fun.

The guards around had already adapted to Shi Lei's frequent travels, and he had never disturbed him in the entertainment industry.

After Shi Lei finally retracted his thoughts, he realized that his legs were a little numb. He had been sitting on the stool for too long and his blood was not smooth.

I quickly stood up and jumped around. I had been active for a long time and it was time to go home for dinner.

Shi Lei was not the only one who had this idea, and Shen Xing hurried back from a distance.

"The head of the family, my subordinates have found something." Seeing that Shi Lei seemed to be waiting for him to walk with him, Shen Xing quickly took two steps.

Although he couldn't tell the difference between the human face, Shi Lei's outfit and the style of being guarded in the center were definitely not the second one in this village. To be continued.
