Chapter 760 Re-dyeing the Silk

“The dyeing that is usually required does take a lot of work, and we need help.”

"But the silk we have now is really useful. It's lighter in color, and all of it is dyed the same color. After matching, the color becomes richer."

Zhu Han was really interested in Zhang Fengnian's dyeing technology.

Everyone knows that the colors in the silk piles are already set in stone.

If we want to seek further reforms in this regard, it is simply impossible.

Zhang Fengnian took a different approach. He had all the silks tied up and then put them into the dyeing process.
Then take it out and dry it in the sun. Not only will the color be bright, but many patterns will also appear.

This gave their lighter-colored silks a brand new look.

Zhu Han saw that there were already quite a few large dyeing vats in the backyard.

Some workers had been waiting there for a long time, watching them put all the silks in, and when they took them out, they had seen a great change.

Zhu Han looked at him with admiration. He found Zhang Fengnian incredible.

"I never thought your silk could become so profound. I originally thought you just dyed it with some colors, but I didn't expect the colors to be so different in depth."

Zhu Han had never seen such a clean and neat technique even in modern times.

Zhang Fengnian was a little proud, and he began to brag about the solution he came up with in front of Zhu Han.

The original silk was too light in color and looked old, but fortunately the quality was good.

After some preparation, the silk looked brand new.

It has the same effect as the silk they transported from Jiangnan.

"They are all silk anyway. As long as we can dye them and sell them for a good price, that will be enough."

"This is my ultimate goal now. I have already arranged all of this. Naturally, I want to make this silk look brand new and sell it for a good price."

"Even though I have accumulated a lot of silk from previous years, I still have a way to sell them all."

Zhang Fengnian looked at Zhu Han proudly with his hands on his waist. He now had high hopes for his silk.

Nowadays, if you want to sell it at a high price as quickly as possible, it all depends on your own ability.

Zhu Han looked at Zhang Fangnian and saw that he looked at him with admiration, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

In this way, the crisis in their silk can be easily resolved.

"Silk can actually be sold at a good price at this time. You can actually see the difference in many silk garments. Now this silk is in my hands."

"After some preparation, we can change all these methods into some."

"After the last preparation, I will let the tailor make clothes out of the silk that cannot be dyed."

As Zhang Fengnian said this, he took Zhu Han to another room. After opening the door, he saw a lot of women.

They were embroidering with needles inside. Zhu Han was surprised when he saw it. He walked forward and saw what they were embroidering.

Every stitch is clearly visible.

"What do you mean? All these embroidery are made of silk. It seems that you really have a lot of ideas."

Zhang Fengnian nodded repeatedly.

He told Zhu Han that this was his second method, which could ensure that all the silk could be sold.

As he spoke, he took the piece of embroidery in the woman's hand and brought it to Zhu Han.

The pattern on the embroidery is lifelike, depicting a pair of mandarin ducks.

During the embroidery process, you can fill in all the lighter-dyed areas of the silk.

The embroidery was so fine that the silk looked as if it had been raised to a higher grade.

"Your Highness, you see, if all this embroidery is put on the silk, it will make the silk more attractive."

"This silk is not only profitable, but more importantly, there are many people in Yingtian Prefecture who want to make a fuss about it."

"I won't let this money fall into the hands of others. It just so happens that these women are good at sewing."

"Since they have such skills, they can naturally support their families. I will pay them wages. Why not?"

As soon as Zhang Fengnian finished speaking, Zhu Han was shocked.

He was really impressed by Zhang Fengnian's business talent.

There is probably no one else in Yingtian Prefecture who can come up with such a brilliant idea.

Seeing how serious these women were about embroidery, Zhu Han finally felt relieved.

Zhu Han took the embroidery and looked at the pattern carefully. It was indeed fascinating.

These women have very strong needlework when doing embroidery. Each piece of embroidery is very beautifully done, and they are quick and careful.

Zhu Han couldn't help but admire him.

"Do your family members know that you are here to do embroidery?"

After hearing what Zhu Han said, the woman dropped her embroidery needle to the ground in panic, and then she seriously told Zhu Han everything about her family.

He told Zhu Han that her husband had joined the army a few years ago and lost his life in the war, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.

He also has a 60-year-old mother who has no one to take care of her, so he usually does some embroidery to support his family.

Now we are looking for people who have embroidery skills in silk and satin clothing.

He hurried over, as it was a great opportunity for them to earn some money to support their family.

"Your Highness, you don't know. For us women who usually do embroidery, this is a very good job."

"Mr. Zhang pays us wages every day. He is such a good man."

Zhu Han was shocked when he heard what the woman said.

In fact, many young and strong men in Yingtian Prefecture have already gone to the military camp.

Although they were looked after by Xu Da and others, many soldiers would have died on the battlefield.

Many people die in battle every year.

Zhu Yuanzhang had always advocated peace. Now, after hearing with his own ears how easily this woman could tell him about the tragic situation in her family, he thanked Zhang Fengnian for his decision.

Zhu Han felt deeply moved that they could have a skill to support their family. He looked at Zhang Fengnian and nodded repeatedly.

"You are such a smart man. Not only have you solved their worries, but you have also enabled them to support their families in the future."

"Even their families will definitely be very grateful to you."

Zhang Fengnian disagreed with Zhu Han's words. He had already made plans for these businesses in his mind.

As long as you can do business well.

Make money and let everyone support their families.

This is also his bottom line as a businessman. Even if they are from the Wang family, they now have a monopoly on all the silks.

He sometimes has ways to revive his business.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the business of the silk shop this time. I have my own way to make the Wang family bow down to me." "They think that by taking away all the silk, they can stop my business. That's really ridiculous."

"There are still a lot of fabrics in the warehouse that have not been used. I want to see what Wang Jia can compare with me."

The silk business has always been the most important thing for Zhang Fengnian.

He never looks down on others.

It is simply a dream for the Wang family to climb over his head now.

"That being said, the Wang family has a lot of connections with His Royal Highness Prince Yan. If they can't make money in this business, I'm afraid they won't give up."

Zhu Han attaches great importance to the complicated relationships in Yingtian Prefecture.

Now this sentence is more complicated than he thought, in order to arrange all of this as soon as possible.

He wasted a lot of time.

In order to wait for Zhang Fengnian, they had been making preparations. Fortunately, their intentions have not been ignored now.

After Zhang Fengnian returned to Yingtian Prefecture, everything he did would make them stand out in subsequent arrangements.

This is the real way to solve their worries.

"It's great that you can think of this, but I believe they will get anxious soon to see what trouble His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and the Wang family will cause together."

"You should make this silk first. I am really happy to give this business to you."

Zhu Han has always attached great importance to the silk shop's business. Zhang Fengnian nodded repeatedly when he heard Zhu Han's words.

On the other hand, Prince of Yan Zhu Di has also noticed Zhu Han's current reforms on the silk shop.

He was very surprised.

Now that Zhang Fengnian has returned, the business has unexpectedly reached a bottleneck.

He had no way of being sure that Zhang Fengnian had actually escaped from his men.

Now the whole game is lost, and if he is defeated by Zhang Fengnian, then the boast he made in front of Zhu Yuanzhang will be in vain.

I'm afraid there will be no way to complete it by then.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated people who did not keep their promises the most. Since he had already promised Zhu Yuanzhang, he had to do it.

Otherwise you will be gossiped about.

Those officials in Yingtian Prefecture who support him are likely to be talking behind his back.

Zhu Di would never allow such a thing to happen.

He called the manager of the Wang family to his side and began to discuss a solution.

"Wang Changgui, please tell me what to do with the business now. I heard that you are also an old hand doing business in Yingtian Prefecture."

"But now, how many disputes do we have with Zhang Fengnian to make our business prosperous? I will open my silk shop tomorrow."

Zhu Di has gone all out this time.

When Wang Changgui heard Zhu Di's words, he just felt his scalp tingling.

He has always attached great importance to these businesses in Tianfu, but he did not expect that there is no way for him to control the overall situation now.

When Zhang Fengnian was away, he might be able to provide some help to Zhu Di in the silk and satin business.

Now I am afraid I can’t even keep my own business.

Wang Changgui himself never expected that Zhang Fengnian's strength was so strong.

He originally thought that these were just other people's excuses to flatter Zhang Fengnian and say that he was a business genius.

But when he actually met him, he realized how terrifying Zhang Fengnian was.

Thinking of this, Wang Changgui's face became more and more ugly.

When he looked up at Zhu Di, sweat broke out on his forehead, fearing that he might say something wrong and make Zhu Di unhappy.

"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, please forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid we won't gain anything by going against Zhang Fengnian."

"Your store will open tomorrow, and naturally there will be many people coming to support you. By then, that batch of silk will definitely be sold out."

Wang Changgui just didn't believe it. Zhu Di had been in Yingtian Prefecture for so many years and had the support of those court officials.

Can the silk and satin shop still be quiet after opening? ?

No matter what, Zhu Di is a royal relative, and there will be many people trying to curry favor with him.

Then at that time, my own business might even have a glimmer of hope.

Zhu Di liked to hear others praise him the most. When he heard Wang Changgui's insights, a smile appeared on his face. This really touched his heart.

"You are right. It all depends on how much silk can be sold tomorrow. But you have to negotiate with the business people."

"We are already against Zhang Fengnian in the future. If he dares to create any pressure on us at this time, we must completely ban him and make sure he has no business in Yingtian Prefecture."

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao caused a lot of trouble for Zhu Di.

He had long since forgotten the feelings between brothers and wanted to have a chance of survival in Yingtian Buddha as soon as possible.

He won't care about what others think.

Wang Changgui looked at Zhu Di suddenly, not knowing how to extricate himself.

He had always thought that Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were princes after all, and would not care about those trivial details.

But now he realized that Zhu Di was vindictive, so he became even more cautious.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we can definitely arrange everything. When the store opens tomorrow, Your Highness will definitely make a fortune."

Wang Changgui even proposed to sell a batch of silk from his own shop to Zhu Di's shop.

With his own efforts, those people in Yingtianfu Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to join in.

Many of them have already joined the East China Chamber of Commerce, but even so, it does not affect their business with Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, we have arranged all these plans properly. We are just waiting for Zhang Fengnian to look at us with new eyes tomorrow."

"No matter how prosperous his business is, it can't compare to His Royal Highness Prince Yan's."

Wang Changgui's words made Zhu Di very satisfied.

This was exactly the result he wanted, even if he couldn't defeat Zhu Han.

As long as you can make money in the business world, it is enough to get Zhu Yuanzhang's recognition.

He wanted to see who would dare to go against him in the current situation.

Zhang Fengnian was nothing more than a businessman, and among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the status of merchants was the lowest.

He also took advantage of his status as a prince to open the shop this time, and there must be many people in Yingtian Prefecture who would buy into his ideas.

"You should go back now and discuss with those merchants when to come to the store tomorrow. I will also send someone to pick you up."

Wang Changgui stood up quickly and said, "Yes!"
