Shenjing East City, Southwest Fourth Street.

Ruixiang.

All the masters that the Song family talked about were present.

Even the head of the family, Song Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, took an hour out of his busy schedule to come here.

In addition, there are eight dyeing masters with the most sophisticated skills under Ruixiang's sect!

At this moment, the central hall was completely quiet. The occasional sound of tea was muffled.

"Tsk! Wonderful!"

An old master looked at it with fascination and couldn't help nodding his head in praise.

Another master in charge asked people to bring Yun brocade. Such expensive Yun brocade, but he cut it with scissors without hesitation, carefully polished the warp threads for a while, and asked people to fetch fire. After lighting it, it immediately He pinched it off, sniffed it, and after observing it carefully for a while, he sighed: "That's it!"

Song Zhe's face was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Master Sun, is this recipe real?"

Before Master Sun could speak, another master said displeasedly: "There is absolutely no falsehood in such an exquisite combination."

Master Sun also nodded and said: "Although I haven't read everything, judging from the degumming requirements, there shouldn't be any fake ones. It's just..."

Seeing the difference in his expression, Song Zhe's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly: "But what's wrong?"

Master Sun shook his head and said: "It's not wrong, but the requirements for degumming this Yun brocade are too high. It's no wonder that Yun brocade is so soft and the color is so bright. Our Ruixiang silk usually only degummes 30%. Only Those high-ranking people only take off 50% of their clothes. But this Yunjin takes off a full 70%!"

There was a young man from the Song family next to him. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Since the higher the rank, the higher the strips are, so why don't we, Ruixiang, take off the 70% glue on weekdays?"

Master Sun said: "I don't know, for silk, the higher the degree of degumming, the better, but for merchants, it may not be worth it. Three craftsmen can take off 30% of the glue in two days, and 50% of the degumming can be completed in two days." It takes six craftsmen to work in five days to complete the glue. To remove 70% of the glue, it takes 12 craftsmen to work in shifts for 15 days to complete."

This young man is Song Zhou's eldest son, Song Qing.

He heard the words and said with a smile: "If that's all, it's a good deal. Yun brocade is 50% more expensive than other brocades on the market, so it makes sense."

Master Sun still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to finish it after reading the recipe.

Another boss, Master Qiu, looked at it for a long time, raised his eyes and frowned and said: "I took a rough look at the red dyeing method. From the compatibility of the materials, there is no big problem. The method used is similar to the over-dying method. It's just... ...The process is too complicated. And some pigments are rarely used. For example, red is often dyed with madder, safflower and hematoxylin in the world. But in this recipe, red blood sand is added. A kind of cinnabar..."

When Song Zhe heard this, his face looked a little ugly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Master Qiu, can this recipe be used to weave and dye Yun brocade?"

Master Qiu heard this and said: "This should not be a problem..."

When Song Zhe heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you can weave and dye it, you two masters really shocked me!"

Song Zhou, who had been silent until now, sighed and said, "Lao Wu, you still haven't understood what the two masters meant."

Song Zhe was startled when he heard this and hurriedly asked for advice: "Brother, what are you..."

Song Zhou frowned and said, "You haven't figured it out yet? The two masters are telling you that this Yun brocade may not be able to be produced."

When Song Zhe heard this, his expression suddenly changed. If he could not produce enough, the Song family would suffer a big loss!!

Song Zhe looked at the two general managers and asked anxiously: "Is it really impossible to produce on a large scale?"

Master Sun also read the one-color recipe and said in a deep voice: "Dyeing can definitely be done. But many dyes are not available in the north, only in the south. The key is that the process is really complicated. If you follow this recipe

Come on, many dyeing troughs need to be redone. And the number of craftsmen in the dyehouses needs to be hired at least three times."

Master Qiu sighed and said: "No wonder, Yun brocade is so popular, but the Jia family has been refusing to sell it. Moreover, the dyeing workshop is also located in the south of the Yangtze River. After the weaving and dyeing are completed, they are sent to Beijing by ship, which is so time-consuming and troublesome.

It turns out that there is a reason inside."

Song Zhou heard this and said calmly: "So, the Jia family did not intend to deceive?"

After Master Qiu and Master Sun looked at each other, they both shook their heads slightly and said: "Judging from the recipe, it seems that there is no intention to deceive. But in the end, we still have to go to the dyeing tank to find out."

Song Zhou nodded and said, "Then go and try it."

After the dyeing masters left, Song Zhou saw that Song Zhe looked extremely ugly, so he smiled softly and said: "This business is not necessarily a loss. Even if we can't weave and dye Yun brocade in large quantities,

But as long as it can be equal to the Jia family, or more than his family, it has a very different meaning to the Ruixiang Hao, do you understand this?"

Song Zhe nodded slowly, but said bitterly: "Brother, I don't care about the three hundred thousand taels today. But the one million taels promised to Master Tian..."

Song Zhou looked pale, shook his head and said: "This million taels will be paid in ten-year terms. It sounds like a lot, but it is only one hundred thousand taels every year. The most important thing is that one hundred thousand taels are paid every year.

, I think it’s worth it to keep the Song family safe.”

After hearing this, Song Zhe's face softened and he said with a smile: "Since I think it's worth it, let's do it." Then he gritted his teeth and said: "I know, Jia Qiang, that little bastard, why are you so easy to talk to this time? There is a trap in your love! I absolutely must

I can’t spare him!”

When Song Zhou heard this, he frowned and said, "What can you do to him?"

Song Zhe was startled when he heard this, and then said: "Brother, of course I won't come forward directly. You can let Fu Tian go find him trouble!"

Song Zhou shouted in a deep voice: "Stop causing trouble! Do you think things are still the same as before?"

Song Zhe said a little unconcernedly: "As long as Jing Chaoyun is still the head military minister, and Yuan Ping's hero is still in charge of the military, what is the difference from before?"

Song Zhou was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table and cursed: "Damn! You know nothing! Now Han Bin, Li Han, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian and Zuo Xiang have not come back. Although Lin Ruhai is here, his body is weak and weak.

His nature is not strong, so he doesn't show it yet. But when Han Bin and the others come back, you will know what a truly domineering Ku Lie is! Now that the Supreme Emperor is gone, do you think Jing Chaoyun can suppress Han Banshan?

Do you still expect Tian Fu? One Tian Fu is not enough to kill Han Bin and the others with one finger! Lao Wu, I warn you, from now on, you'd better behave yourself! When Han Bin and the others come back, and Jing Chaoyun,

Jiang Duo and the others have done a game to see who lives and who dies before you show up again.

With the Queen Mother and the Tian family protecting you, it may not be able to affect the Song family. But if you are seeking your own death, being smart, and being treated as a leader, then don't blame me for ignoring the fraternal ties and killing your relatives first to preserve the Song family.

…

Kehe County Prince's Mansion, front hall.

Jia Qiang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I still have something to do. Why did the prince bring me to the palace?"

Li Xuan said happily: "Today, I invite you to try the vegetarian food of the palace, and then I will go to your house to eat roasted mushrooms tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang looked at the cheerful Li Xuan and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the emperor of Daxing has just left, you..."

Hearing this, Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, looked around and then cursed: "Qiu Dao, you really dare to ask!"

After scolding him, he immediately replied: "It's not that I'm heartless, but the Emperor has too many grandsons. How can his old man be in pain? Let me tell you, let alone us grandsons, they are my father's generation. Back then, only Prince Yohitada was considered a son, and the others could only be considered ministers. The dirty seeds outside said that my father was mean and ungrateful, what a fart! To be honest, my father valued human kindness more than the Supreme Emperor!

Take you as an example. If my father hadn’t loved Lord Lin so much, you might not have fallen in love with him, right? But the Emperor and my father are different. Tsk, let’s put it this way, as long as I can remember, the Emperor and the Emperor have been All I have said together does not exceed a hundred sentences. A hundred sentences is too much, and it is difficult to say more than fifty sentences.

In addition, in the past few years, the old ministers of Jingchu and Yuanping have done so many forgetful things. How much anger has my father suffered? How many tears has my mother secretly shed, and what is the reason behind it? Hey! "

Although the Supreme Emperor was his ancestor, he passed away suddenly. Li Xuan couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy...

When Jia Qiang heard this, she felt a little moved in her heart. Although Li Xuan was a bit out of tune, if she didn't really regard him as a friend, she would never say such a taboo thing.

If these words are spread, it will be a serious crime. Li Xuan can be impeached by the court officials, but the Long'an Emperor may not be able to protect him.

Jia Qiang paused and said softly: "Your Majesty's words really resonate with me."

"fart!"

Li Xuan laughed and scolded, and said: "The Supreme Emperor treats you better than he treats me. The word "good minister" is like a talisman. If it weren't for these two words, you would have been dead long ago!"

Jia Qiang nodded, shook her head, and said: "I still have great admiration for the Supreme Emperor. The words I said in Zuixian Tower have not changed to this day. After all, when the Supreme Emperor succeeded to the throne, How difficult it was. In my opinion, the great achievements of the Taishang Emperor in the first twenty years were no less than those of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shizu! Of course, I embellished the following things, which was indeed flattering.

Of course I will be grateful for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor, but to be fair, I am just a pawn in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. Because of my words at the beginning, the Supreme Emperor caused a stir in the capital by giving me the title of "good minister". A big storm forced Han Bin and other famous ministers to leave Beijing.

But this chess piece is useless after it is used up. Later, I was sued just because I copied the Xuanzhen Temple. If I had not presented the Taoist treasure in time, I would have suffered a catastrophe. .

In contrast, the emperor's kindness to me, even though he often scolds me for the sake of my husband, is still touching my heart!

Not to mention the Queen, who came to the rescue several times... If not, I wouldn't have made a fortune with you!"

"..."

Li Xuan cursed loudly: "What a filthy son of a bitch! Didn't I help you too much? I gave you some nannies last time, have you forgotten?"

With a dark face, Jia Qiang stood up and first greeted Princess Qiu who came from the back hall.

However, Li Xuan still pulled Jia Qiang's sleeves reluctantly and shouted: "Tell me, have I helped you a lot? Last time you asked me to help you find a pair of beauties with double sticks, but it was a waste of time.

How much effort did it take for you to find her! Normally you never go to the gate of the palace, but you hear that a beauty comes to the door! But I tell you, you can’t pick her up today! It’s still during the national mourning period, so I have to keep an eye on you.

, I can’t let you make a mistake!”

Jia Qiang: "..."

Mrs. Qiu looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile, and said, "Hey! Your Majesty, you've had enough of being a little boy, and you've found yourself a little brother? Otherwise, how could you take care of him so considerately?"

Li Xuan said seriously: "Princess, you don't know this! It was the Queen Mother who asked me to take more care of Jia Qiang on weekdays. He is Lord Lin's disciple and Lord Lin's son-in-law. It is not easy for Lord Lin, he...

"

"My lord, please stop talking!"

Mrs. Qiu smiled and said: "I am just a woman, how do you understand this? Even if you just say that it is for the sake of the queen mother, grandmother and Tzuyu, I will admit it. It's just that the twin beauties,

Your Majesty, won’t you leave any one behind?”

Li Xuan took a breath and was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Princess, who do you think this king is? A lecherous person like Jia Qiang? I will leave my words here today, and I will forget it."

Even if I become an old widower, I will never lay a finger on that pair!"

Mrs. Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "If the prince is going to become an old widower, then shouldn't I deserve to die?!"
