Lu Yongheng's punishment of his subordinates was very neat, basically just a few words, and all the people who should be dealt with were dealt with, and then turned his head to talk to Shu Jin, and his words were very polite, but he was not humble.

Although Lu Yongheng is now subject to Shu Jin to a certain extent, he will not beg for mercy. Today's events have reasons why he didn't think about them thoughtfully, but he won't be low because he is afraid of Shu Jinqian's anger.

In fact, Shu Jin really didn't blame him for being sluggish. Shu Jin's acceptance of Ge Cunzhong and others as subordinates was due to opportunity, and it was also because she needed her own strength. And Lu Yongheng, speaking of which, he has long been in his own boat, so why do you have to make a posture of being above others?

Today was originally her on a whim, and Lu Yongheng would not have expected such a variable as Hu Ye's family. Besides, Lu Yongheng simply made Hu Ye's family unable to stay in Jiangxing County, which saved Shu Jin a lot of trouble. Shu Jin naturally won't embarrass him anymore.

"It doesn't matter." Shu Jin waved his hand casually, indicating that he would not take it to heart, "Let's get down to business and take me to your weaving workshop to have a look." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yongheng nodded, and led the way to take Shu Jin into the Jiucheng Weaving Workshop.

When I entered the weaving workshop, the first thing I saw was not the loom weaver girl, but the large vat and the pool. The pool in the tank is full of dye water, which can be described as colorful. Although Lu Yongheng still has a shady private salt business, the weaving workshop on the surface is really doing well.

And he himself is not a hands-off shopkeeper, although he is not enough to do it himself, but he knows everything about the big and small things of the weaving workshop. Take Shu Jin to visit at this moment. The mouth will introduce the functions of each place one by one, such as what kind of material the dyes in these vats are roughly made of, and so on.

Most of the dyes used for dyeing in the Great Yan Dynasty are mainly natural mineral or vegetable dyes. Among them, plant dyes are the most popular and the most widely used. Such as bark, roots, branches and leaves, fruits, husks; flowers, dried flowers, flowers and leaves, flowers and fruits; Fruit skins, fruits, juices, herbs, Chinese medicines, teas, etc. can be used for dyeing. Mineral dyes are mostly used such as cinnabar, ochre, limestone, etc. There are also some animal dyes, such as cochineal, lac worms, cuttlefish juice, etc.

For example, cyan is mainly dyed with indigo extracted from blue grass. There are many kinds of indigo grass that can make indigo, such as woad, indigo, horse indigo, wood indigo, amaranth and other kinds of indigo indigo.

Dyeing red, that is, red, was originally made with hematite powder. And with cinnabar. Later, because of the poor color firmness of ore dyes, they switched to using vegetable dyes, such as madder. The red color dyed by madder and alum as a mordant is not easy to decolorize. But madder is not a red red, but a dark earthy red. If you want to get a positive red, you also need to match it with a certain amount of technology.

The yellow one is dyed with a gardenia. The fruit of the gardenia contains yellow pigment, which can be directly dyed, and the yellow color is slightly reddish. In addition, yellow dyes include rehmannia root, locust tree flower, yellow barberry, turmeric, Zhehuang and so on. The fabric dyed by Zhehuang has a reddish ochre yellow glow in the moonlight. It appears ochre red in candlelight. Its colors are dazzling. And because of the brilliance of this color, only the weaving workshop designated by the royal family can use it, because it is the emperor's royal color.

The plant dyes available in black are more abundant, such as oak, acorn, gallnut, persimmon leaves, holly leaves, chestnut shells, lotus seed shells, sage tail leaves, black cypress leaves, etc., can be used for black dyeing. Black is one of the primary colors, and then it can be overdyed to get different intermediate colors.

Nowadays, the colors of cloth are blue, red, yellow, white, and black, which are the primary colors, and are called 'five colors'. After mixing the primary colors, you can get "intermediate colors", which is also called multiple colors.

Before coming to Lu Yong's weaving workshop. Shu Jin really didn't expect that in this ancient country where productivity was so backward, there could be as many as twenty-four kinds of cloth dyeing! Like what. Red includes silver red, water red, scarlet, crimson and purple; Yellow includes goose yellow, chrysanthemum, apricot yellow, golden yellow, earth yellow, tea brown; Blue and blue include egg blue, azure, emerald blue, royal blue, red blue, and navy blue; Green includes Hu green, bean green, leaf green, fruit green, dark green, etc.

This has to be said to be the main color, if it is strictly classified, all the similar colors are separated, I am afraid that the color spectrum at this time can be as many as hundreds. It's really rich.

According to the characteristics of different dyes, smart people have invented various dyeing processes. Connoisseurs divide these techniques into: direct dyeing, mordant dyeing, vat dyeing, anti-dyeing, color dyeing, etc.

There are many colors that depend on the combination of dye varieties and process methods. The ratio and craftsmanship of each dye are secrets, and most of the large and small weaving workshops rely on such a "secret recipe" to stand.

And these vats are not only dyed cloth, but the workers of the weaving mill also dye the woven threads into various colors such as yellow, red, brown, blue, etc., and the cloth woven with these colored threads also has various colors.

The production method of a finished cloth mainly depends on the final effect to be achieved.

Shu Jin saw these vats and listened to Lu Yongheng's explanation, and he already had an idea of the type of new cloth in his heart.

She consulted the information, combined with the main raw materials of the textile industry in this era, and found several fabrics that were more suitable for production. For example, ice cotton.

Ice cotton has the characteristics of lightness, breathability, coolness, etc., and it is the most comfortable to wear in summer. Ice cotton is to add a coating to the cotton cloth, after processing, the feel of the fabric becomes smooth and soft, the tentacles will have a cool feeling, wear it on the body and not seek, and then there is pure ice cotton will not shrink.

I believe that as long as the ice cotton is made, the sales should be good. However, the color of ice cotton is mainly a single color, such as white, light pink, light brown, bean green and other colors, and the fabric has some natural folds, so if it is made into clothes of this era, it also needs to be matched with materials and decorations.

Either way, the outlook is positive.

Shu Jin measured in his heart, and Lu Yongheng dutifully took Shu Jin to visit the weaving workshop and explained many relevant details.

Of course, some top-secret techniques and dye ratios or something, Lu Yongheng didn't tell Shu Jin. Similarly, Shu Jin didn't inquire about this, let alone tell him how to make her so-called new cloth at this time, these were all after Shu Jin's visit, and he made an appointment to talk slowly.

Shu Jin handed over the technique to Lu Yongheng, and Lu Yongheng went back to the workers of the weaving workshop to experiment. As for confidentiality measures and the like, Shu Jin doesn't have to worry about it at all. For this kind of handicraft workshop, the secret recipe is life, which one is cherished and careful, and naturally there is no fear of leakage. (To be continued......)
