In Guanshishan Academy, Li Yan and Di Renjie were busy in the laboratory.

As Li Chunfeng's son-in-law, Li Yan is very interested in the changes between various materials.

When Li Kuan arranged for personnel to set up a chemistry laboratory in Guanshishan Academy, Li Yan immediately became the person in charge of this laboratory.

"Brother Li, the smell of this dye is a bit rushed."

Di Renjie put a small piece of cut cotton cloth into the dye vat, constantly testing the effect and quality of various dyes.

Datang's dyeing technology is actually quite good.

"It's true that the taste is bigger, but the color dyed is much brighter than the ones on the market, which shows that the recipe provided by the prince is still very effective. Besides, the dyeing vats in the dyeing workshop are arranged in the open air, and the smell is relatively fast, and it will not be as airtight as in our laboratory. ”

Li Yan was directing several assistants to constantly adjust the paint.

Datang's cotton cloth output this year will exceed that of silk, close to linen and wool cloth, how to make the cotton cloth pattern richer, is a problem that Li Kuan needs to consider.

Although in the long run, cotton and linen must have been sold as goods that ordinary people could afford, silk was the real expensive textile.

However, the introduction of the same variety of fabrics can effectively broaden the price range of cotton fabrics.

Cheap can be cheap, and expensive can be expensive.

"After using our pigments, these cotton cloths have become more washable and less prone to discoloration, so I think they can be used by a dyeing workshop."

Di Renjie knew that there had been a lot more cotton cloth shipped from Shuozhou to Chang'an in the past few days, and the Chu Wangfu had not only not started to sell the cotton cloth it produced itself, but even purchased a lot of cotton cloth from some other cotton cloth shops at market prices.

As Li Kuan's disciple, Di Renjie naturally knew what Li Kuan was waiting for.

"Let's send it over after today's comparative test, let them make a batch of cotton cloth first, put it in the shop and sell it, and see if everyone likes it."

Li Yan is also full of expectations that his research results can be used immediately.

……

"Aya, the people of the Chu Wangfu have been buying cotton cloth from various houses in the West Market in the past few days, should we follow up?"

In the eldest grandson's mansion, the eldest grandson stood beside the eldest grandson Wuji with a tangled face.

In addition to the land in the workshop city, the actions of following the Chu Wangfu have basically brought a lot of benefits to everyone.

Therefore, there are not many people in Chang'an City who are staring at the movements of the Chu Palace.

"The price of cotton has been falling for a while, and it stands to reason that it is almost impossible to fall. For his father, Li Kuan guessed that Li Kuan should think that the price of cotton cloth would rise in the future, even if it did not rise, it could remain stable, otherwise there was no need to buy cotton cloth like this. ”

Changsun Wuji, who has always been confident, but this time, it made Changsun Chong feel a taste of unconfidence.

"Shall we stock up on some as well? Anyway, as long as you don't continue to fall, even if you can't make too much money by hoarding cotton cloth, you won't lose money. ”

"It's okay, I don't believe that Li Kuan let people buy so much cotton cloth for no purpose."

……

The geographical location of Chai's family is very good, and the area is not small.

In late autumn, the ginkgo trees in the backyard of Chai's house have lost their leaves.

The golden leaves cover the ground, giving it a beautiful feeling.

After Chai Lingwu came back from drinking with people outside, he spread around the yard.

"Big brother, the income of the government has risen rapidly in the past few months, should we buy more fertile land?"

In later generations, when you have money, you want to buy a house. Bookbag netting

In Datang, when you have money, you want to buy land.

The Chai family is no exception.

"It's okay to buy land, but it's best to think about where to buy it."

Chai Zhewei rarely did not oppose Chai Lingwu.

Don't look at the fact that the two brothers were born to the same father, but the right to speak is completely different.

The situation in this afterlife is very different.

There's no way, who made everyone more aware of the primogeniture system in this era.

is like the title of the duke of each country, basically only the eldest son has the opportunity to inherit.

The other sons have to work their own.

This also shows that the eldest son of many noble families often behaves mature and steady, while the second son is flexible and daring.

It's not because there is much difference in IQ or EQ between two people, it's purely because the opportunities are different.

"If you want me to look at it, it must be the best land in Chang'an City. Don't look at the land price here now, but the population of Chang'an City is increasing, and the income of the people is getting higher and higher, and the land price will only rise faster. ”

Chai Lingwu can be regarded as having some insight and can realize this truth.

In fact, this situation is very similar to the housing prices in the big cities in later generations.

For example, when the price of houses in Shenzhen rises, the price in the city center rises much faster than that in the suburbs.

Many people don't realize this when they buy a house, and the cost of buying a house often becomes much higher after suffering a loss.

After all, the taxes and interest rates of the second set are completely different from the other.

This makes sense, but it also needs to be seen differently. If you look at the grasslands in the north of Nashuo Prefecture, the land price is only 10% of that of Chang'an County, but once they are developed and planted with cotton, the output will be several times higher than that of Chang'an City, and even that land will become valuable in a few years. ”

Naturally, the Chai family also planted cotton in Shuozhou this year.

Although Chai Zhewei didn't pay as much attention to this matter as Du Wei, he didn't pay less attention to it at all.

In fact, many nobles in Chang'an City have a similar attitude to the Chai family.

At first, I had the mentality of giving it a try, but now that I found that I had succeeded, I immediately prepared to increase my efforts.

"The future of Shuozhou's land is promising, but buying land there is not a credit to Li Kuan?"

Chai Lingwu was a little unhappy in his heart.

A while ago, his own escort was "in a car accident", which made Chai Lingwu angry.

Although there is no direct evidence, Chai Lingwu firmly believes that it was done by someone from the Chu Palace.

"Ling Wu, if you really say it, it's you who provoke others, so don't get entangled there. With Li Kuan's power, people didn't make a move against you, which is already very polite. ”

Chai Zhewei saw the problem more thoroughly than Chai Lingwu, and knew that the Chai family was not the opponent of the Chu Wangfu now.

"Lang Jun! Something happened, and none of the ships we went to sea to hunt whales came back. Even the fleet that went to the Wa Kingdom is supposed to have almost returned to Dengzhou, but there is no news yet. ”

Just as the two brothers were talking, the housekeeper Wu Yuan hurriedly ran over.

"I haven't heard of a hurricane off the coast of Dengzhou lately?"

Chai Zhewei looked at Wu Yuan with a puzzled face.
