After Wu Yong understood his intentions, he had been sitting in this teahouse for half an hour.

The owner surnamed Qin is really a woman, and she is still a woman who doesn't look like a mortal.

He held a cup of hot tea and didn't dare to drink it, for fear that he had done something wrong and annoyed the owner.

Otherwise, how could he be rejected when he proposed to give his own technology to the owner? Not only that, but she also seems to have found a Chinese person to make a deed paper?

Wu Yong was already confused, but now he is even more confused. One head is two big, and the other is confused.

After Qin Xiang learned that the other party was the Wu family in Hancheng, he already had a plan in his heart.

She chose to establish a textile factory in Hancheng, and she had already made it clear the secrets between the various families in Hancheng.

The Zhou family is dominant in Hancheng, infecting the local textile industry step by step, and the original textile-related families are facing an unsustainable life. In desperation, he could only choose to be replaced by the Zhou family with a meager cooperation fund.

The history of the Wu family is longer than that of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is only a small civilian household and lives a precarious life, and the Wu family has become the most famous family in the cold city by virtue of silkworm raising technology.

But with the change of the times, after the Zhou family was born and became noble, they began to target their peers. There are very few people who are as tenacious and unyielding as the Wu family. Even so, the Wu family couldn't hold on for long. The people who make a living by raising silkworms and silk can't sell the silk in their hands, but the silkworms in the silkworm room still have to eat, and they have no other way than to bow to the Zhou family.

Qin Xiang can't do anything to rob while the fire is hot, the Wu family's technology is a secret that has been specially developed by several generations, what reason does she have to take advantage of others. Since Wu Yong came to Xijing from Hancheng thousands of miles away just to seek refuge in Qin Ji, he must also know the contradiction between Qin Ji and the Zhou family.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Qin Xiang will never make a move to push the Wu family to the Zhou family. Since the Wu family has the technology of raising silkworms, and his family's silk is also better than the gloss and toughness on the market, why bother as a supplier of textile mills. With higher quality silk, it can be used to produce higher quality fabrics.

"Look at this contract."

Wu Yong came back to his senses suddenly, the cup shook, and the tea was spilled directly on the back of his hand. Fortunately, the water was already cold, and apart from being frightened, it didn't hurt much.

He unfolded the contract with a puzzled expression, and his eyes widened in shock when he looked at it, "This ...... This ......"

Qin Xiang smiled and explained to him: "Actually, if Boss Wu doesn't come to the capital today, I will also send someone to find you." I have long heard that the Wu family in Hancheng has excellent silk, which is suitable for making Hualuo. ”

Wu Yong didn't ask what Hua Luo was, and vaguely felt that it was some kind of precious fabric.

"What are you talking about...... Seriously? ”

Qin Xiang looked at him with a worried expression, and his gaze became softer and softer, "It's no good for me to lie to you." Instead of looking for some silkworm farmers who don't know the roots, it is better to choose the Wu family. Over the years, the reputation of the Wu family has been spread by word of mouth, even when I was in Fucheng, I have heard people talk about the name of the Wu family. ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he was embarrassed at first. He rubbed his hands and turned red: "You...... What you say is not so good. But I dare to guarantee that there will definitely be no better silk than the Wu family in the entire cold city. ”

When it came to what he was good at, he didn't blush, and talked endlessly about the difference between the silk of his Wu family and other families.

Qin Xiang listened carefully and put forward his own opinions from time to time.

Wu Yong gives her the feeling of being a stereotypical scientific researcher, and their eloquence can only be reflected when talking about their profession. Normally, they are more like a socially challenged person. Of course, not all researchers have such a character. It's just that because I have been in experiments all year round, I lack the ability to communicate with people, and I am not used to talking.

Qin Xiang didn't like to talk when she was in the research institute, and she would rather do a few more experiments when she had that time. Therefore, when facing Wu Yong, she always has an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Wu Yong couldn't hold it back as soon as he opened his mouth, and it wasn't until he said that he had a dry mouth and remembered to drink water that he realized what he had done. I actually chattered so much in front of the new owner? And the proprietor didn't interrupt him, but listened to him all the time.

It gave him a sense of respect, something he hadn't felt before.

"I think your idea is good and worth putting into practice."

Wu Yong's eyes lit up, and the way he stared at people was a little cute.

Qin Xiang recalled for a long time before he figured out what he looked like, and his appearance was too much like a dog who was coquettish with his master.

Poof, you can't laugh, you have to hold back.

Qin Xiang, who could barely hold back his laughter, explained the contract to Wu Yong again, and the other party signed his name on the paper without thinking about it and stamped it with a seal.

"I'm looking forward to working with the Wu family."

"Me too." Wu Yong looked a little excited and said, "I want to go back as soon as possible and tell my family the good news." ”

They held out for so long, and finally waited for the savior. From now on, there is no need to look at the face of the Zhou family, and there is no need to give away the experience accumulated by the ancestors.

"I'll have you sent back." Write a book

Wu Yong didn't refuse, he also ran out secretly this time. His family covered for him, lest he would be discovered by the Zhou family. The Zhou family has reached the point of exterminating the Wu family, if he doesn't come out, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive in the cold city.

The suffering here Wu Yong did not explain to Qin Xiang that he didn't want to be pitied.

"The owner ......" The corners of Wu Yong's mouth moved several times, and finally only spit out a word of gratitude.

Waiting for them to leave, Qin Xiang looked at Wu Yong's back and couldn't help sighing.

"Does the owner pity him?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked.

"Not really. The Wu family has the skills to support themselves, and if it weren't for the Zhou family's suppression, they wouldn't have come to this point. It's just a pity for me, it's supposed to be a good time for a hundred flowers to bloom, but some people just rest on their laurels and suppress others, only allowing themselves to be dominant. A market cannot develop without competition, and the Zhou family did not understand this market. ”

You can be the first in the industry, but you also have to feed the small merchants below. If you don't have them, you are the only one who will make the product, which is too limited to the market. Consumers' choices are diverse, and not necessarily the first product will cater to all consumers.

Qin Xiang doesn't know how to operate, but it is enough to understand this era with a modern way of thinking. Although she still has to study, the affairs of the Zhou family have sounded the alarm for her.

Thankfully, she was never short of awe.

When a person lacks reverence, he will step out of that box and do terrible things that even he himself dare not think.

No matter what, the Zhou family's villainous behavior of harming others and benefiting themselves cannot be tolerated.

Unexpectedly, the problem of raw materials was unexpectedly solved, and Qin Xiang's mood was naturally excellent. And Wu Yong also promised her that he would help the textile factory contact several other silkworm farmers who were oppressed by the Zhou family.

As long as the supply of raw materials is solved, the textile mill can weave more cloth.

The reason why Qin Xiang prefers to sell ready-to-wear rather than fabric is that the price of a piece of cloth is completely disproportionate to the price of a ready-to-wear garment.

Take one or two ordinary silk as an example.

The price of a tael of silk on the market is 65 wen, and the price of a piece of brocade can be 850 wen. And a hundred dollars is one tael, and the price of that brocade is about ten taels.

On the water side, a horse-faced skirt made of plain brocade costs as much as twenty taels. And a plain brocade can be made into three such horse-faced skirts, so it is naturally more profitable to make ready-to-wear clothes.

Of course, there is a need to consider the artificial problems of antiquity.

Due to the limitations of the process, it takes months to weave a brocade, which is another factor that makes brocade expensive. However, Qin Xiang's textile factory has used a completely different process from this era, and the production time has been greatly improved, and even the texture of the fabric is better than that made by private weaving in the past.

With the use of sewing machines, it used to take a month to cut a dress, but now it takes only three days for a skilled worker.

The compression of time cost is the main factor for Qin Xiang's profit.

Therefore, she is committed to promoting on the water side and will continue to expand the scale of the garment factory.

After all, silk fabrics belong to the high-end consumer group, and ordinary people wear mostly arrowroot cloth and linen cloth. And it's home-made homespun cloth, which is durable but has a lot of poor comfort.

At this time, cotton had been introduced to the Central Plains, but because the spun cotton threads were broken, large-scale planting was not formed. After Qin Xiang's experiment, it was found that it was because of the defective design of the spinning wheel. After improvement, the cotton thread is not only strong, but also more symmetrical and slender overall.

This cotton thread makes cotton cloth thinner and warmer. They were branded and shipped to various parts of the western extension. In various grocery stores, in the stalls of the market, and even in remote caravans.

"It's a great feeling to make money."

Qin Xiang's mood was rarely so good, and he even ate an extra bowl of dinner, which made Han Yunxiao look sideways.

Ever since she had a bitter summer, she often couldn't eat, and her appetite was always bad. Recently, the weather has been cool, and it has eased a little, and I am still very picky about my diet. Unexpectedly, because of the good news brought by Wu Yong, it made her appetite great.

She was in a good mood, and she also had kung fu to joke Han Yunxiao: "Your princess sister hasn't been pestering you recently?" ”

Since the last time I talked to the princess, the tenth princess has not appeared in the world of their husband and wife for a long time. Qin Xiang has been busy with business recently, and he doesn't have the time to take care of an inconsequential person. also suddenly remembered, lest she have any faint tricks behind her back.

The tenth princess herself is not afraid, she is worried that the old emperor will not follow the usual path and run out of the ordinary way.

Han Yunxiao seemed to have just remembered that there was such a person, and it took a long time to reply: "The prince comes occasionally, and he never mentions the princess." She is not young, and the queen will find a way to marry her off. ”

Qin Xiang glanced at him, not wanting to puncture his intention to whitewash Taiping.

Judging from her age, the tenth princess is really an old girl. This is not married yet, if she is not too favored, the family is reluctant to marry her. But in ancient times, little girls generally got engaged early, but the tenth princess had no marriage contract, and no one looked at her for her.

Then it can be concluded that the queen does not like this princess. Since I don't like it, I won't think about her marriage.
