Chapter 62 Running into Beijing
After shearing the wool, Shen Yue took people back to the business, dozens of hemp bags full of wool were piled up in the yard, the smell was extremely strong, making people retreat, but the county commander Ouyang Chen didn't know the news he got from there, he didn't even sit in the sedan chair on weekdays, and hurried over, and ordered the officials to guard the hospital door, not to allow outsiders to come in, while stroking the wool tastefully, while urging Shen Yue to quickly spin the wool.

"Lord Ouyang is free, why did he come to our small family? Have all the official affairs in the yamen been dealt with? Don't you want to quit your job and start a business? Pinglan followed behind Ouyang Chen and asked questions, like a hostess guarding against thieves, after all, this wool business was created by the Beacon Firm, but he couldn't let him learn the method, and then tell outsiders to grab business.
Ouyang Chen smiled bitterly at the poisonous tongue of this little girl in Pinglan, she was pestered by her to ask for money a few days ago to open a academy, since this aunt became the righteous daughter of General Mu Ying, the jade pendant of the queen mother who was held all day long blackmailed herself, and she was afraid to avoid her, if it weren't for the fact that wool was important, she didn't want to come to the door to find a smoke.
"Miss, don't make fun of this official, I have reported to the court in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles, if I can't come up with some real guys, I'm afraid I will be swept to the end and sent to the army." This is just to confirm the viability of the wool spinning plan, and it will not be swaggered around, don't you see that I have left all the servants at the door to guard? ”
Listening to Ouyang Chen's complaints, Shen Yue muttered to himself, who made you behave so positively, this official is afraid that others will rob him of his political achievements. However, he can throw away the shelf of a scholar and come over to supervise the work in person, which can be regarded as a bit of a practical spirit.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this freshly sheared wool smells bad, and there are many impurities, and it needs to be cleaned and dried before it can be spun, and I have asked people to prepare."
After waiting for a while, I saw Gu Mingzhi and a group of guys rushing over, not only with the various cleaning liquids that had just been prepared, but also a few large sinks. Soon they were setting up shelves in the yard and preparing for the wool washing.
Washing wool is not only to wash off the lanolin, sheep sweat, sand, dirt, etc. on the wool fiber, but also to wash the lanolin, which can make the wool feel softer and smoother, and the taste will be reduced.
Shen Yue led a few clever guys to prepare several detergents in a small basin of water, tested the effect of washing hair respectively, and instructed them to make experimental records.
Originally, Pinglan was still a little opposed to this, how could this kind of confidential matter be handed over to outsiders, Shen Yue was very upset about her temperament when she came in and tended to the old hen to protect food, and looked at Ouyang Chen with some sympathy, but this old guy turned his head and smiled gloating as if he was nothing.
"Miss, you should be considerate of me, in the future, our business will become bigger, it is impossible for me to do everything personally, this time I should give them a lesson, and it will be easier to bring out a few apprentices. Even if they want to set up another door in the future, the meat will rot in the pot, which will be good for the people, and there will be endless good things if there is competition, so let's let them go. ”
Thinking that Shen Yue, the son of a big family, had to work hard to do some subordinate work, Pinglan slowed down her momentum, her pretty face was slightly red, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe Shen Yue's sweat.
"It's me who is not good, I forgot that you work so hard all day, then let them learn, let them do whatever you have, don't do it alone, go to the school when you have time, change your brain."
It's still this ancient woman who is so coaxing, and the husband's temperament of singing and following the woman made Shen Yue breathe a sigh of relief.
Sent away Pinglan, Shen Yue instructed the workers to hurry up and start work, the period of going south is approaching, it is best to finish the wool before this, the ancient transportation is inconvenient, I am afraid that it will take two or three months to come back, and it will soon be winter, so they can only leave it to knit sweaters in the county by themselves.
Time is pressing, and the materials are not complete, although it is not possible to configure such a powerful detergent as the later generations, but the experiment has also obtained a usable formula, and it is a big deal to wash it several times, anyway, now there is no need to worry about water pollution and labor wages.
After working for a long time, finally all the wool was washed, before drying, it was washed again with spirits mixed with water, so that the alcohol volatilization could also remove the peculiar smell in the wool, looking at the wool that dried all over the yard, although everyone was tired and couldn't straighten their waists, but they were full of hope, today's hard work can not only be exchanged for the people to wear warm clothes, but also to communicate with foreigners, reduce some of the suffering of war.
It will take some time for the wool to dry, Ouyang Chen ordered a few officials to stay and guard, and then pulled Shen Yue to go out to drink together, and the wool has been removed from the smell is half the success, and the day of his promotion is not far away.
In the future, not only will the business need to recruit more people for wool processing, but also need to hire some farmers to cultivate seeds for crops such as corn and potatoes, and please help me a lot." Shen Yue touted Ouyang Chen that the county officials were not as good as being in charge, even if they were covered by Yan Wang Zhu Di and Mu Ying, he still had to have a good relationship with Ouyang Chen.
Ouyang Chen poured a glass of wine, sighed and said, "This is a matter within the scope of this official's duties, I will give the court some more folds, it should not be difficult to approve it, but it will take some time, now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for a long time, after a long period of war, all places are recuperating, the population is insufficient, and the court is also a little cautious in governance." ”
"In this case, why don't you set up an office in Beijing in the capital, you can't rush it over 800 miles every time you have something, not to mention the delay on the road, and you can't grasp the movement of the court in time." Shen Yue asked with the strength of the wine.
"What is the Beijing Office? This official is just a seven-grade county order, and this county government can still open a branch in the capital? Ouyang Chen was a little puzzled.
"This is not to run a yamen, but to send a few reliable people to run errands there for a long time, specifically responsible for taking care of the joints with various yamen, and asking for some money and food indicators, the effect is much better than sending letters thousands of miles away." Shen Yue explained.
This style of "running into Beijing" is the specialty of various enterprises and local governments in later generations, and the Shen family has no semicolon in the capital, if the time comes, if you enter Beijing to treat the queen, your eyes will be black, and you will not be slaughtered, so I want to use the name of Ouyang Chen to arrange a joint office in the capital and lay the foundation in advance.
After listening to Shen Yue's detailed explanation, Ouyang Chen was like an initiation, patting the table and applauding,
"This method is good, the so-called crying child has milk to drink, and now the slow and leisurely pace of the court has given the official a headache, we also have to send some thick-skinned people to the past, if you don't agree to our request, you will not leave, it is to know the reason, move with affection, see which of them dares to ignore Sven's face, refute the official's fold."
Seeing this Ouyang Chen's free play, what he said was high-spirited, Shen Yue admired, sure enough, he was old and fine, and he was only a little bit old, this old guy was already the essence of running into Beijing.
