In the evening, a carriage was surrounded by guards to the side gate of the Duke of Yiguo, and Wang Yue, who was full of alcohol, stepped out of the carriage, he had just changed into clean clothes before coming, but the smell of wine still lingered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the guidance of the palace guards, Wang Yue came to the side hall of the front yard, which he was very familiar with, most of the guests were here when Gongyu Wenwen of the State of Yi met with guests on weekdays, but it was limited to private affairs, and official affairs were in the study.

There are few people in Huangzhou who can go to this side hall, because they are not qualified, and there are only a handful of people who can talk about private affairs with the Duke of Yi, and Wang Yue is one of them as the big treasurer.

"The king's shopkeeper is here."

Liu Caiyun, who had already arrived first, said with a smile, and the bookkeeper next to him also said hello, Wang Yue arched his hand and then sat down on the other side, everyone is a frequent visitor here, so they are not so restrained.

"This body is drunk, how many heroes has the shopkeeper drunk down?"

"Steward Liu doesn't want to laugh at Wang, if it weren't for the other helpers, Wang would be out of shape now."

Working under Yu Wenwen and managing the mansion industry, Wang Yue and Liu Caiyun are very familiar, although Mr. Li looks like an old pedant, he is also familiar with these two, and when he saw that the main owner had not arrived, the three of them chatted in a low voice.

"Steward Liu, have those apprentices been apprenticed? I'm understaffed, so I can't keep myself busy. ”

"Mr. Li's side has already been booked, why don't you wait?"

"How's that going to work!" Wang Yue was a little anxious, "No matter how little, there must be no less accounting, if I am delayed here, don't worry about the reconciliation between the two!" ”

"The shopkeeper Wang is angry, it's not good to make his mouth foam when he is in a hurry."

The voice came from outside the door, and a person turned in, but it was Yu Wenwen, who looked a little tired, he was dressed in civilian clothes, and there were two women behind him, but it was the Yang family and the Xiao family in his side room.

"Guogong."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to see the outside like this."

Yu Wenwen sat on the top, Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang sat on his left and right, although the two of them just tied their hair in a bun at random, and their clothes were very ordinary, they still couldn't hide their radiant charm.

"My father-in-law is busy with official business, and many things are bothering you, the king's shopkeeper, have you talked about it clearly?"

"Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, it's clear."

Wang Yue replied, and then began to report on a major event that had happened today.

Huangzhou's cloth workshop business is booming, with the mysterious machine, the woven cloth is not only of good quality but also low price, and the hot sales naturally attract merchants from all over the world to hear the wind and move: what is the machine?

The cloth mills in Huangzhou are all by the Santai River, and the big waterwheels and the equally conspicuous water wheels can be guessed by outsiders just by looking at these: the machines are propelled by water.

It's just that it's useless to know this, and you can't imitate it without seeing the physical structure, but it's impossible to see the physical structure, because the owners cover these money-making treasures tightly.

The thieves who dared to climb over the wall to come in were all missing, and since then they have disappeared from the world, anyway, the state and county governments have not received a report from the bitter master, so there should be no such thing.

Those water-powered spinning wheels and looms are all produced by Yuwenwen Workshop, and the key parts are blocked with wooden boards and seals, and the specific structure is not clear to even the operator, and the "after-sales maintenance" is also the responsibility of Yuwenwen Workshop.

When these spinning wheels and looms were sold to the owners, they were also repeatedly ordered not to leak secrets, and those who dared to eat inside and outside promised to let the other party "shovel together", and the owners also valued this money-making machine, so all kinds of means down, the secret has not been leaked.

Huangzhou's water-powered textile industry is planned and supported by Yuwenwen, as the number of cloth workshops and dyeing workshops is strictly limited like a bookstore, plus a variety of "behavioral norms", so everyone can make money happily, and now Yuwenwen intends to benefit more people.

The secrets of the hydrospinning wheel and the loom, he is about to open up.

The people who invested in the cloth mill and dyeing workshop in the early stage have now recovered their costs and made a lot of money, the reputation of Huangzhou cloth has been started, and the scale effect has been formed, Yuwenwen does not plan to eat alone, so as not to be boycotted, so as soon as the "protection period" arrives, new deals will be opened.

People who want to buy water-powered spinning wheels and looms can come to Huangzhou to talk, and after the negotiation is completed, they can train each other how to use water-powered spinning wheels and looms, and the structure of these machines is no longer secret.

It is one thing to have the ability to make your own machine, it is one thing to be able to run it, and it is another thing to be able to run it for a long time without failure, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, Yuwenwen can sell finished machines here.

What Yu Wenwen wants is to let Shannan's textile industry develop greatly, which is also his promise to his father, so that the people and soldiers can wear high-quality and inexpensive clothes, so his team can't eat alone in this market.

The Hancha area is rich in water resources, and the development of hydrotextile can save a lot of manpower and material resources, in other words, more manpower can be mobilized to fight.

Today, it is the day when big households from all over the country come to Huangzhou to "participate in the grand event", and they are received by the owners of cloth mills and dyeing workshops in Huangzhou.

The preliminarily formed Huangzhou business group began to attract potential members, because the word "Huangzhou" is not Huangzhou in the narrow sense, but the "Huangzhou" of the Huangzhou Governor's Office.

Most of the people attending the meeting today are local magnates from various states under the Huangzhou Governor's Office, some of whom have already cooperated with the owners of Huangzhou to supply raw materials such as kudzu, hemp, bamboo, and stone, while others are purchasing from Huangzhou and selling all kinds of hot-selling goods.

Books, cloth, soap, ham, and even all kinds of daily gadgets such as needles and threads, seeing that textile is so profitable, many people have also thought about it.

Come and come, the cloth mill in Huangzhou by the "protection period", not only return to the original but also make a lot of profits, the owners found after discussion, even if the secret of the water textile is passed out, even to the Chen country does not matter.

Because the higher profit is not in the cloth, but in dyeing the cloth.

The trading of cloth is a small profit but quick turnover, and dyed cloth is different, according to Yu Wenwen, is the "added value" is very high, this year it is easy to dye the cloth, but to make the dyed cloth washable, it is not easy.

Even if it is a rich family, those delicate clothes are not washable, of course, the rich people's style is different, wear one and throw one away, as for the washed clothes, they are never worn, and the big families can not afford to lose that face.

Clothes can't help but be washed, and they fade after washing, so the price is "dropped", and one of the reputations of Dugu Jialuo, the empress of Emperor Wen of Sui, is that this person actually wears washed clothes, so as to prove how thrifty Queen Dugu is.

However, the dyed cloth in Huangzhou is washable, at least more washable than the ordinary cloth, and the unique secret of the Huangzhou Dyeing Workshop uses the dyeing agent made in the Yuwenwen Workshop, in which the ingredients are "indescribable".

Driven by interests, the owners of the dyeing workshops racked their brains to improve the formula, and even successfully improved Yuwenwen's dyeing aids.

It is precisely because of this that the cloth mills in Huangzhou have no fear and do not mind the "low-end industry" of weaving being shared by others, because they have firmly controlled the "mid-end industry" of dyeing.

The cloth obtained from water-powered spinning in various places happens to become the raw material of each dyeing workshop, and the dyed cloth that is successfully dyed and then exported is much more profitable than plain cloth!

"Guogong, today's talks have been negotiated, and these new owners will get our strong support, and they will share with us about the source of kudzu and hemp, and find ways to buy them from all over the world."

Yuwen Wen smiled when he heard this: "Very good, the industry is expanding, this is a good thing, but what should I do if there are not enough people?" (To be continued.) )
