"Bright, golden or apricot?"

"Yun Gongzi, could it be that there are so many types of yellow?"

Zhao Zheng originally thought that with Yun Yi's mind, after he reminded him, he would definitely understand what to do next.

But just when he thought that Yun Yi would have no choice but to give up, he heard a question that made him very puzzled.

Isn't yellow just yellow?

Aside from the difference in color, it doesn't seem to be much different, right?

Just when he wanted to ask Yun Yi with a puzzled face, Han Qingyun next to him couldn't help but take the lead in asking.

"Miss Han hasn't heard of bright yellow, golden yellow, and apricot yellow?"

Yun Yi originally wanted to inquire about the inside story in advance, so as to make a stumbling block for the Zhou family in a targeted manner.

Hearing Han Qingyun's question at this time, his expression couldn't help but be stunned.

Aren't bright yellow, golden yellow, and apricot yellow the three colors commonly used by royalty?

How can you listen to Han Qingyun's meaning, it seems that she doesn't know these things?

If it is said that the daughter of the head of the household does not know the situation of the royal family, Yun Yi can understand it.

But next to Zhao Zheng's face, why was there a look of curiosity?

Could it be ...... In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, these colors have not yet appeared?

As soon as he thought of this, the worry in Yun Yi's heart was instantly swept away.

If the Zhou family came up with the yellowing process, it was only the most basic level.

Then if he casually tinkered with it according to the record of "Heavenly Creations", wouldn't he be able to completely break his Zhou family's dream of becoming an imperial businessman?

You must know that about the process of dyeing cloth, "Tiangong Kaiwu" records fourteen kinds of dyes, a total of 27 colors can be dyed.

Among these 27 colors, there are bright yellow, golden yellow and apricot yellow, which are exclusive to the royal family.

The dragon robes and other royal special clothing made of these colors, even in modern times, are definitely not worse than chemical dyes by half a point.

The process of dyeing these fabrics was originally prepared for the beginning of spring next year, after the textile workshop was completed, and then considered.

Now that I have encountered the Zhou family, it is not a big deal to show it in advance.

After all, the formula for dyeing authentic golden yellow is only a dozen words.

Reed wood decoction water dyeing, reuse hemp manuscript ash drenching, alkaline water drifting.

If you want to do it thoroughly, you need to do some experimentation.

However, as long as he can come up with the yellow silk that surpasses the Zhou family, then the affairs of the Zhou family's imperial merchants will definitely not go as he wishes.

However, if this is done, it does not seem to be very beneficial to obtain ownership of Xishan Coal Mine.

It seems that this matter has to be carefully considered.

"Brother Yun, as a messenger, I also made a special trip to study the printing and dyeing process before I came."

"It's just that the bright yellow, golden yellow and apricot yellow you just mentioned, but I haven't heard the printing and dyeing master in the capital mention it."

Originally, he was asking Yunyi, but he didn't expect Yunyi to ask himself again.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Han Qingyun shook her head helplessly and said that she didn't know.

"Qingyun is right, Brother Yun just said that the bright yellow, golden yellow and apricot yellow, I have never heard of it, I don't know what kind of process this is?"

Hearing Han Qingyun say this, Zhao Zheng also added a sentence next to him.

At this time, Yun Yi was already very sure in his heart that the printing and dyeing process recorded in "Heavenly Creations" was definitely far beyond the level of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of this, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into his mind.

I saw that he patted his head first, and then pretended to say suddenly:

"This classification of bright yellow, golden yellow, and apricot yellow is what I saw in an ancient book."

"I originally thought that this classification method was the standard classification method for the printing and dyeing industry of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But now it seems that I should have taken it for granted."

"But after my verification, the twenty-seven colors of the fourteen dyes recorded in that book are purer than the colors of cloth today."

After Yun Yi finished speaking, he pretended to be puzzled and looked at the three people present.

"Fourteen kinds of dyes, a total of twenty-seven colors?"

At first, when Zhao Zheng and the others heard Yun Yi say that the classification of bright yellow, golden yellow and apricot yellow was from the ancient books, they couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in their hearts.

No wonder they hadn't heard of these things, it turned out to be just the classification method of the ancients.

But when they heard Yun Yi say that the fourteen kinds of dyes in the ancient books could actually be dyed in twenty-seven colors, they were already a little surprised.

You must know that even the printing and dyeing process of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot dye so many colors.

What's more, Yun Yi finally said that these twenty-seven colors are actually purer than the colors of the cloth dyed by the current printing and dyeing process.

For a while, the faces of several people present were full of disbelief.

"Brother Yun, the craftsmanship you just mentioned can really dye twenty-seven colors?"

Although he still knows Yunyi's character, such an unbelievable thing still makes Zhao Zheng can't help but ask.

After speaking, he looked at Yun Yi with burning eyes.

"The printing and dyeing process recorded in that ancient book has been verified when I have nothing to do."

"No matter what color, according to the process recorded in ancient books, the dyed cloth is much stronger than the cloth sold in Linjiang County."

Seeing that Zhao Zheng and the others didn't believe it, Yun Yidang patted his chest and reassured.

If it was something else, Yun Yi wouldn't dare to boast like this.

But these printing and dyeing processes are all the methods included in "Heavenly Creation".

And Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" is known as the 17th century craft encyclopedia.

Therefore, although Yunyi did not verify it in person, he was still full of confidence when he patted his chest.

"If what you said is true, Brother Yun, there may be a slight turn for the better in the matter of the Zhou family's Xishan Coal Mine."

Seeing that Yun Yi was sure of what he said, Zhao Zheng frowned and groaned after taking a sip of the tea bowl.

"That's right, if the yellow you dye is indeed a grade higher than that Zhou family, then maybe it is really possible to replace the Zhou family as an imperial merchant."

"But if you really do this, it is estimated that nine times out of ten you will offend the eldest prince because of this."

"You must know that the eldest prince came to Linjiang County this time, just to go through the motions with the Zhou family."

"If you want to make a fork in this matter, it is inevitable that the four princes will help you mediate."

"But if you dye the yellow, there is no obvious gap with the craftsmanship of the Zhou family."

"Even with the help of the Four Princes, it will be difficult for you to achieve the results you want."

Seeing that Zhao Zheng had the intention of helping, Han Qingyun next to him was worried that Yunyi would not be able to seize the opportunity, so he hurriedly explained the inside story to him.

In fact, there is no need for Han Qingyun to remind Yun Yi, who is a human being in two lives, why don't you know the twists and turns in this.

If the printing and dyeing process he came up with could not far surpass the Zhou family, even if there was mediation by the four princes, the eldest prince would not buy it.

After all, the Zhou family is following the path of his eldest prince, while Yunyi is close to the fourth prince.

In addition, there is no harmony between the four princes and the eldest prince, if they can't come up with a printing and dyeing process with obvious differences, the four princes will not make a rash move.

However, with "Heavenly Creation", Yunyi is naturally full of confidence.

I saw that he first arched his hand towards Zhao Zheng and the others, and then said with a confident face:

"Regarding the process of dyeing yellow, please rest assured, I promise that there will be no problems."

"But in order to get the property rights of Xishan Coal Mine, I thought we could still discuss this matter in the long run."
