Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Tong Ran carried the little tiger and Chu Shuang into the cotton factory building.

In the largest room, there are rows of looms, and a female worker concentrates on working in front of each machine.

Chu Shuang pointed to the female worker behind the third machine on Tong Ran's side in the second row and said, "That's the granddaughter of Mrs. Liu. She doesn't want to go home, but she is willing to work here. She is very good at weaving, and she is also a good person." Careful, I asked Tan Xian to arrange her here.

Mrs. Liu was picked up by me, and she also lived in the staff dormitory behind the cotton factory. She is in better health and works in the dining room. "

Tong Ran nodded. More than a month ago, Youyang wiped out the bandit nest in the east of Yutou Village. Those bandits killed and raped, and many of the rescued hostages dared not go home, and even threatened to commit suicide.

You Yang was in a state of desperation for many days, and later begged Tong Ran for attention.Tong Ran had no other choice, so he tried to contact Chu Shuang when he was recruiting female workers. In the end, Chu Shuang accepted all the ten or so girls.

Most of the female workers in Chushuang’s cotton factory are foreigners, and they don’t know much about the local affairs. Among them, none of the girls would ask about the past. Everyone worked together and recovered quickly. Mrs. Liu This is the case with my granddaughter.

"I have already produced several batches of work here, but now the big families in Chuzhou Prefecture still like to buy cotton cloth, I'm afraid there will still be not enough." Chu Shuang frowned slightly, a little worried.

After the experience of managing the cotton workshop these days, Chu Shuang knew more about cotton as a clothing material. It not only has a good warmth retention effect, but is also breathable, and can be used during the summer and mid-winter seasons.

It stands to reason that the cost of cotton cloth is far lower than that of silk, and the price should be much cheaper, so that most ordinary people can buy it.But nowadays, rich families from all over the world are also eyeing cotton, not for breathability and warmth, but for the fame of Tong Ran, the inventor of cotton cloth, and the current scarcity of cotton cloth, etc., and use it as capital to show off.

Because of their unrestrained buying, the output of the cotton factory has far failed to keep up with the market demand, but if the price is raised in line with the market, ordinary people will not be able to afford it.

Tong Ran has also considered this issue. He improved the cotton processing technology in order to prevent ordinary people from freezing in the cold weather. In this situation, his goal is far from being achieved.

"Wow." The little tiger took a nap for a short while, and just woke up, his small body trembling, his hind legs stretched hard, and he climbed onto Tong Ran's shoulder.

Tong Ran quickly supported it, fearing that it would lose its balance and fall.

Then he said to Chu Shuang: "Miss Chu, you might as well change your mind. Since rich and powerful families like to pursue rare and noble things, then follow their wishes and make a batch of goods that are more expensive than ordinary cotton clothes. Cotton clothes are separated, diverting their attention to the expensive ones."

Chu Shuang thought about it, and then asked with some doubts, "How can it be more precious?"

"There are many ways, such as cooperating with a tailor who used to serve in the Shangfu Bureau in the palace to launch a limited edition dress. There are only three pieces in the whole Dacheng. If you want to buy such a limited dress, you need to buy a certain amount of money from you. Goods are eligible to participate in the bidding, and the goods for a certain amount of money are other expensive products you launched.

"In addition, silk and satin have various techniques. In the processing and application of cotton cloth, it can be combined with other fabrics to make different styles. You can sell ready-made clothes directly, and you can also accept orders for tailor-made clothes. Of course, the price of tailor-made clothes will vary. More expensive, which is haute couture."

"Advanced customization?" Chu Shuang chewed on Tong Ran's words, "But most people who can afford it have their own tailors, so they don't need to come to me for tailoring?"

Tong Ran smiled: "It's also the fabric that can be used to make clothes. Why do those rich and powerful families have to use cotton instead of other more expensive clothing materials? The superficial reason is because of me, and it's because your majesty treats me so highly that they pursue it."

Tong Ran paused, he was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and said: "Actually, this is a brand value. It's like if I want to buy raw materials for road construction, I will give priority to Fan's because they are reliable. Similarly, if You can create a clothing brand that becomes synonymous with dignity, fashion, and decency in the hearts of rich and noble women. They will no longer let their own tailors do it, but will pursue your clothes.

"In the end, what matters is not only the materials and tailoring skills, but also the reputation of the brand in the market and the public's perception of the brand."

Tong Ran's words almost exhausted all his fashion knowledge. As a high-tech engineer, his theoretical knowledge in this area is really lacking. I only hope that the smart Chu Shuang can understand.

Chu Shuang was half stunned and half puzzled. There seemed to be a layer of veil behind these words, and Chu Shuang hadn't found a way to uncover it yet.

She was a little distressed, but she didn't want to give up. After pondering for a while, Chu Shuang decided to continue asking questions, to see if she could dig out more from Tong Ran."So...how do you shape this...um, brand?" she asked.

The phrase brand is very unfamiliar to Chu Shuang.

Tong Ran gave a simple example: "Why is Wanghai Tea House the best tea house in Chuzhou Prefecture? In fact, there are many places here that are comparable to the tea it uses."

This question was easy for Chu Shuang to answer, and she immediately said, "Because the late emperor drank tea there during his southern tour!"

"This is one of the reasons why this brand is sought after by everyone." Tong Ran said.

In this way, Chu Shuang somewhat understood what Tong Ran meant, and she immediately thought of the Shangyi Bureau that Tong Ran mentioned just now. Her mother seemed to know such an old court lady who came out of the Shangyi Bureau.

"Well, I can try." Chu Shuang said, she clenched her fists, this was another brand new challenge for her.

"Wait and see." Tong Ran encouraged.

If Chu Shuang can really develop a luxury brand, he can teach her to run fashion shows, run fashion magazines, and move all kinds of gimmicks from the commercial society, so that those noble ladies and wives have enough places to squander.

Tong Ran came here this time mainly to care about the situation of Mrs. Liu's granddaughter. Now that they are doing well in the cotton factory, he is relieved. Accompanied by Chu Shuang, he carried the little tiger to the layman. Say goodbye and leave.

After getting in the car, Sang Le asked where to go, Tong Ran patted the little tiger's hairy head and said, "Shall we go to Wanghai Tea House to buy some tea? Your tea is almost finished."

"Wow." The little tiger twisted his neck, ran to the other side of the seat and squatted down, ignoring him.

If Tong Ran hadn't experimented with its tea leaves, would it have caused it to run out of tea so soon?I still want to prevaricate it with tea from Wanghai Tea House, but there is no way!

"Wow wow wow!" The little tiger couldn't help but shouted at him a few more times.

"I really can't do anything about you." Tong Ran shook his head, picked up the jade pendant around his waist to infuse righteousness, and the jade pendant quickly emitted a warm light.

The little tiger didn't have time to react, and a strong drowsiness hit him. After struggling a few times, he fell asleep completely.

"What's the matter?" Chu Jun's deep voice came from Yu Peili.

"Just woke up?" Tong Ran speculated that Chu Jun's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up.

"Hmm." Chu Jun said in a low voice.

"What time is it, you don't go to court?" Tong Ran was surprised.

"I slept late last night, so I won't go to court today." Chu Jun said.He hasn't calmed down about the tea, but it's a pity that he is not a tiger now, so he can't play his temper openly.

Tong Ran thought about it, he had never been to court when he was in the capital, but he lived next door to Chu Jun and understood his work and rest. Dacheng had a court every three days, which was different from Tong Ran’s concept that the emperor went to court every day from ancient costume dramas. .

"Why are you looking for me at this time?" Chu Jun asked knowingly.

Tong Ran paused for a moment, thinking about how to tell Chu Jun. With his personality of being jealous of cats, if he knew that he was looking for him in broad daylight to get tea for the tiger, would he kill him directly?

"Huh?" Tong Ran didn't say anything for a while, but Chu Jun urged him.

"That... Do you still have the tea you gave Zai Zai? It's finished." Tong Ran summoned up his courage.

Sure enough, Chu Jun on the other side of the jade pendant was not surprised.Tong Ran always contacted him before going to bed, but today he suddenly made an exception, only for the tiger's tea.

Chu Jun didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, but simply said: "I'll ask someone to send it to you."

"Hmm." Tong Ran subconsciously said, and realized after she said it, did Chu Jun agree?He came to him in broad daylight just for the tiger's tea, isn't he angry?Not jealous?When did he become so generous!

"You're looking for me because of that tiger?" Chu Jun's voice sounded again.

Tong Ran breathed a sigh of relief, this is the vinegar spirit he knew.

"There is one more thing." Tong Ran said with a little joy.

Chu Jun: "Huh?"

Tong Ran: "A quarter of the railway in Dunan Road has been built, and it will be ready for trial operation about a year ago."

After he bought the rest of the Dunan Road Railway Bond, the construction of the railway started as scheduled. Tong Ran made a small contribution to the public, and often visited the construction site, urging the supervision overtly and secretly. The councilor's hair was all grey, and he even spent time on the construction site when he was taking a bath.

Of course Chu Jun knew about Tong Ran's little tricks, and when he heard him talk about this matter, he quickly understood it.

He caressed the jade pendant, his green eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "I miss you too."

"Who missed you!" Tong Ran retorted without confidence. At this time, the carriage had stopped in front of the governor's office, and Tong Ran cut off contact with an excuse.

"Wow!" The little tiger opened his eyes, only to see that Tong Ran hadn't got out of the car, and was sitting there with a red face.

The little tiger climbed onto his lap, raised its head, and looked curiously at his face with its big, round green eyes.Tong Ran also saw the little tiger, hugged him, and buried his face in the little tiger's arms.

"My lord?" Sang Le didn't see Tong Ran getting out of the car for a long time, and opened the door to check, but he didn't want to see Tong Ran hugging the tiger tightly, with his face buried in the tiger's fur, and muttering vaguely.

Sang Le was embarrassed and wanted to retreat immediately, but thinking of the people outside the car, he stopped his momentum, coughed lightly and said, "My lord, I want to see the shopkeeper Qin of the Wanghai Road merchant."
