Regarding Ye Yu's doubts, Su Quanzhong showed a wry smile: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, three days later, it will be the birthday of Lu Da in this county." There are a lot of guests these days, most of them are to buy new clothes to participate in Lord Lu's birthday......"

After Su Quanzhong's explanation, Ye Yu understood the reason. Regarding Lu Kun's birthday in Zhixian County, this reminded him of Lu Zheng.

At the beginning, Lu Zheng used the reason of damaging the jade unicorn to mention Lu Kun's recent birthday.

As soon as he talked about the birthday celebration, Su Quanzhong was full of complaints, and even whispered a little angrily: "Cough, where is this birthday, this is clearly accumulating money!" It's just that in the name of longevity, it seems to be a grand name......"

Ye Yu listened to Su Quanzhong's story, and then he knew that there were so many things in Qingliu County that he didn't know.

Now Lu Kun, the magistrate of Qingliu County, has been serving in Qingliu County for two years, and he is 50 years old this year, and he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

In the past two years, this year is the second birthday. Last year, on the grounds of 'natal year', invitations were widely distributed in Qingliu County.

As the saying goes, although the county official is small, he can crush people, so as soon as the invitation was issued, the squires, businessmen and officials of Qingliu County congratulated them one after another.

This year, Lu Kun has just reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has been holding birthday banquets since the end of the year. This is bitter for the businessmen and squires of Qingliu County, and every birthday celebration is undoubtedly a hemorrhage.

Although it is known to be a bottomless pit, everyone can't help but go, otherwise they will be troubled everywhere on the one-third of an acre of land in Qingliu County.

"Uncle Su, my little nephew heard that the county lieutenant of this county is an upright official, is it possible that Lord Liu will take office because of this trend? Even if he doesn't have the right to inquire about the crime of accumulating wealth in the county, he should report it to the state capital and even the imperial court......"

After listening to Su Quanzhong's story, Ye Yu had been haunting this doubt, so he had to ask.

Su Quanzhong waved his hand, very helpless; "The county lieutenant Liu is indeed as you say, the law enforcement is fair and honest, but it is said that the county magistrate has a very deep background, how difficult is it to shake it? Besides, the principle that officials and officials have protected each other since ancient times, who can control whom? ”

Su Quanzhong's account is not very clear, and Ye Yu also understands it. After all, he is not a person in the government, and the bureaucratic links in it are by no means something that Su Quanzhong can know, but Ye Yu can also deduce something based on these.

The magistrate and the county lieutenant are incompatible, but they can serve for a few years and be at peace with each other, which shows that Lu Kun's background is not simple, and the county lieutenant Liu Yuanshan is not an ordinary person.

At least the two of them are in the state capital, and they are both supported by nepotism.

If you want to speculate a little deeper, you have to skip the state capital and rise directly to the partisan division of the imperial court. As far as Ye Yu knows, the current imperial court is divided into two factions: the main battle and the main peace.

These two branches in Qingliu County may be related. Of course, this is just Ye Yu's unbridled subjective speculation, and even Ye Yu himself feels that his ideas are a little ridiculous.

Although Ye Yu is very resentful of Lu Kun's blatant accumulation of wealth, as the saying goes, it is not about oneself to hang high.

He is just a young man with no status, no identity, and no property, and Lu Kun can't make money even if he wants to, so why bother himself.

Moreover, even if it is his turn in the future, no matter how rich a merchant is, he can only be slaughtered by the government like a lamb.

After that, the two chatted about the supply and demand of fabrics, and after understanding Ye Yu, they learned that all the fabrics used in ready-to-wear shops in Qingliu County were from Pan Ji Cloth Village.

The wealth of the Pan family is second to none in Qingliu County, and the Pan family is only in the cloth business, and there are three dyeing workshops under its name. It is precisely because of this that Pan Ji Cloth Village can support the supply of cloth in the entire Qingliu County.

"Uncle Su, since we have a garment shop, why don't we open a dyeing shop, so that in addition to being self-sufficient, we can also supply and sell cloth to other shops. The garment shop and the dyeing shop form a supply and demand relationship, which also saves a lot of money......"

Ye Yu felt that there was a lot to be done in this.

Su Quanzhong took a sip of tea, and then said indifferently: "How could the old man not know the profits in this, even Li Tong and others know the benefits of opening a dyeing workshop!" ”

"Then why ......"

The virtuous nephew knew that the opening of a dyeing workshop did not cost a lot of money, but the main reason was the lack of experienced dyeing workers. A year ago, the old man bought a piece of land outside the city and opened a small dyeing workshop......"

Having said this, Su Quanzhong sighed gloomily: "It's a pity that the door was closed in only three months, and the color of the cloth dyed by the dyeing workshop is dull and uneven, the important thing is that after making clothes, the color will fade as soon as it is soaked in water!" After a few waters, hehe, it has become a veritable 'flower cloth'! ”

Ye Yu didn't expect that there would be such an experience, it seems that the Pan family's cloth business has become a monopoly in Qingliu County.

Judging from the fabrics he has come into contact with recently, even if the dyed fabrics in Su Quanzhong's dyeing workshop do not fade, it is difficult to compare with Pan Ji's fabrics.

Because even Ye Yu, who was accustomed to seeing fabrics in later generations, had to admire the high quality of the fabrics sold by the Pan family.

It can be seen that the dyeing experts in Fangyuanzhou County have all been attributed to the Panjia dyeing workshop.

Ye Yu was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Uncle Su, the little nephew has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

"The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, as long as the old man can do it, the virtuous nephew can just open his mouth!" Su Quanzhong has a very good impression of Ye Yu, so he values Ye Yu very much.

"Since Uncle Su's dyeing workshop has not been used for a long time, the little nephew wants to take it over, I wonder if Uncle Su will fulfill it?"

Su Quanzhong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said in a questioning tone: "You want to reopen the dyeing workshop?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean, but the little nephew just has an idea, and it's not perfect yet...... If Uncle Su agrees, although the little nephew is short of money, he is willing to sign a contract with Uncle Su! At that time, when the little nephew makes a profit, he will definitely return it twice! ”

Ye Yu did not hide it at all, but frankly said his thoughts. Because nowadays it's not so much about business as about empty gloves as white wolves.

Su Quanzhong could completely refuse such an unrealistic request of his own. So the only thing you can do is be honest!

Su Quanzhong fell silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept looking at Ye Yu. And Ye Yu did not hide it, and looked at Su Quanzhong with a calm face.

After a while, Su Quanzhong nodded solemnly: "Okay, the old man will fulfill you!" But ......"

"But what?" Su Quanzhong's words turned around, which made Ye Yu's heart tense.

Su Quanzhong smiled heartily, and then said happily: "However, forget about signing the contract, since the virtuous nephew intends to open a dyeing workshop, the old man will give it to you!" ”

"This ......" Ye Yu didn't expect the outcome of the matter to be like this, which was completely unexpected by him.

"Don't worry about it, this dyeing workshop is like a chicken rib in the hands of the old man. The old man gave it to you, maybe it will make me see the vitality......"

At this time, Ye Yu was moved, although he also knew that businessmen were unprofitable and could not afford to be early, but Su Quanzhong was able to be so generous, which really surprised Ye Yu.

"In that case, then the little nephew will thank Uncle Su! If he can really do what his uncle said, the little nephew will live up to today's kindness! Ye Yu was moved and made his own promise.

Su Quanzhong's actions were also thunderous, and he led Ye Yu to the abandoned dyeing workshop in the afternoon of the second day.

Ye Yu carefully looked at the entire environment of the dyeing workshop and felt that the land that Su Quanzhong bought was really good.

It is close to the city and water, and faces the official road, and the geographical location is excellent. As long as you can dye high-quality cloth, the wealth will naturally be rolling.

The warehouse of the dyeing workshop stores a large number of dyes and raw fabrics, and all the necessary supplies for the dyeing workshop are available in the warehouse.

Originally, Ye Yu was still worried, and it was empty joy that there was no money to operate with the dyeing workshop. But now it seems that there is only a shortage of workers to dye the cloth.

Regarding the recruitment and selection of dyeing workers, Ye Yu is not in a hurry now, he needs to study the reasons for Su Quanzhong's failure.

Moreover, with his current conditions, he did not have enough money to start this dyeing workshop.

As night falls, it heralds the end of the day and the beginning of tomorrow.

Ye Yu sat in front of the table, constantly outlining the line frame, sometimes waving and sometimes stopping.

It wasn't until late at night that Ye Yu slowly raised his head and stretched his already sore arms and neck.

Pushing the wheelchair to the window, quietly looking at the bright moon in the night sky, he smiled comfortably.

For several days, he was busy in the shop during the day, and at night he carefully studied the books on dyeing cloth, hoping to find a solution from them, and even more so hoping to recall his memories of dyeing techniques in later generations.

The so-called emperor lived up to his wishes, and after a few days of association and conception, he finally found a solution.

However, he knew that this matter could not be rushed, and that it would take repeated practice to determine the feasibility of the dyeing process.

For him, the dyeing workshop is just one part of the story.

Because his legs are disabled, he will be doomed to miss the scientific examination, let alone enter the officialdom.

Although the imperial court has an eclectic saying about recruiting talents, but for thousands of years, there have been crippled people who have logged into the court? Therefore, he is very clear about his future path.

Ye Yu often thinks that maybe he really has a relationship with the cloth, since this is the case, then why doesn't he make a splendid chapter on this cloth?

In the early morning of the next day, when Ye Yu sorted out his clothes and hats, and Qiulan pushed him to prepare to go to the 'Repair Clothes and Raise Body' ready-to-wear shop, there was a sharp knock on the door.

When Qiulan opened the courtyard door, she rampage into a person from outside the courtyard.

This person is dressed as a servant in a green coat and a small hat, Ye Yu knows this person at a glance, it is Lu San, the scholar who came with Lu Zheng at the beginning.

"What?" The voice was cold and calm, Ye Yu was most unaccustomed to dogs and powerful domestic servants in his life, so he didn't have a good impression of this Lu San.

Lu San craned his neck, with a high-spirited expression, handed a red invitation card to Ye Yu with one hand, and said with a dark smile: "Today afternoon, it is the birthday of my master, and I hope that Ye Gongzi will come to cheer!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Ye Yu, turned around and swaggered away.
