Those things first spread from a small workshop in the Wu family...

Jiangning's weaving industry has always had many shining figures in the eyes of everyone. Some businessmen who are proficient in business and calculation are active on various stages and stretch their talents, such as Su Taner, Xi Junyu, For example, Wu Qilong and Wu Qihao brothers, Wu Chenghou, Xue Sheng, and even the older generation Su Yu, all have their own commendable achievements, and only have their current status.

These people are proficient in business, and in fact, they may be able to make achievements in any industry. In addition, there are also some people who are proficient in technology. Each family has more or less its own strengths. To a certain extent, they also need to rely on Due to the support of these people, among them, the most famous one is probably the Luo Shenzhen of the Wu family.

Luo Minzhi of the Wu family is one of the most important elders of the Wu family, the first of the Jiangning cloth line. In his early 40s this year, he once pushed the weaving skills of the Wu family to the peak. In the past few years now, although the Su family, Xue family, and Wu family have their own strengths, relatively speaking, even if the Su and Xue families have strengths, they are not so obvious that they are enough to open up at a decisive level. The thing of distance, but only the weavers of the Wu family, can always be said to be higher than others at the high-end level, and these things are also due to Luo Minzhi's efforts over the years.

Now the Wu family steward usually no longer manages too many trivial things. This person loves to go to brothels, is addicted to alcohol, loves to be sought after by others, and has a somewhat wild personality. Of course, he is talented enough in weaving. The Wu family gave him everything he wanted, and he only had to think about how to stay ahead of the weavers. However, recently, he has also been a little busy.

As the most-respected steward of the Wu family, he is actually controlling and taking care of the royal business affairs, workshops and warehouses recently. For him, this matter is not so much a responsibility as it is an honor, because at the technical level, regardless of the weaver printing and dyeing, it has been solved, and what he needs to do is to watch the workshop The cloth that needs to be sent to the palace will be made, and after strict inspection, it will be stored in the warehouse, and it will be sent to Bianliang as the first batch of cloth soon.

It seems that the responsibility is heavy, but in fact, there are people all over the place who can do it. Luo Minzhi is the manager of this time on the surface, and the actual work is naturally done by the stewards who were originally in charge of these workshops and warehouses. Luo Minzhi only works every day. I came to see the last time, and for the rest of the time, my eldest son, Luo Xia, sat in charge, and established a good relationship with a group of shopkeepers and stewards, and also made some preparations for Luo Xia to enter the management of the Wu family in the future.

Luo Xia didn't really inherit Luo Minzhi's talent in weaving, but he had admired his father since he was a child, at least in the aspect of diligence, he was commendable. Studying step by step and being a step-by-step shopkeeper, there will not be too many problems in life planning at this point, not to mention that the Wu family is about to develop on a large scale, and it is the time for him to do something.

This time, he was given this responsibility by his father, and he also worked hard to have a good relationship with many shopkeepers and managers to make some preparations for the future. In addition, the daily inspection is also meticulous - of course, even so, there is not much technical content and practical facts to speak of.

Of course, he also understands that it is normal to take care of these things. The fact that his father asked him to come here was just to let him meet and have a good relationship with the other seniors, and he did not expect him to do anything. It's just that the young man worked in the Ujiabuxing for several years before, mostly learning small things such as management in the weaving workshop under his father. This time he was finally entrusted with a big responsibility, but every day was better than before. It's even boring. There is nothing he can do at all. In fact, he is somewhat disappointed, but on the other hand, he can only teach himself the business truth that those who achieve great things must be able to endure boring.

For the past month, I have been following a step-by-step schedule, talking to several seniors every day. In fact, I also talked about Luo Minzhi. This time, I was able to get the Imperial Merchant, in addition to subtly getting the dyeing formula originally belonging to the Su family under the operation of Wu Qilong and others, another killer was because of Luo Minzhi's weavers, otherwise, if it was just the same With that color of cloth, the Wu family does not have many advantages, and it is impossible to let the Su family understand the situation so easily and feel dejected. At the banquet a month ago, the Su family named Ning Liheng was because of Knowing this, he threw his own cloth out of the window angrily. The real thing was the existence of Luo Shenzhen.

Of course, talking about his father all day long makes the young man proud. On the other hand, it is actually a bit boring to talk about these things with others. Some shopkeepers tell him about the romantic place. Luo Xia, who is already married at this time, Although he was not stunned in this regard, he was a little embarrassed to talk about this with those old fritters of his uncles and uncles or to visit those places together. He goes to several workshops and warehouses step by step every day, and records step by step. There are uncles and uncles in these places. Some inconsistencies were discovered.

"Father, the golden brocade in the small warehouse over there in Qin Minglou looks a little faded..."

When he was having dinner at home that night, he said something a little less confident. The fading is a major event, Luo Minzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Qin Minglou? That's the first batch to come out. The shopkeeper He of the dyeing workshop also said that it may not be very good, but... Where did you see it?"

"Those in the corner."

"In the corner... It was the waste cloth, um, the first batch, and it was also the cloth that I and Mr. Chen and the others thought were not ideal, so we just threw it there, and it was damp in the corner. Look."

Recently, the Wu family has been preparing for the development of the Imperial Merchant after it has stabilized. As one of the most famous signs of the Wu family, he also has some banquets throughout the day. The matter has been developing for a month, and any problems should have arisen long ago. Many people in Jiangning's cloth line have even forgotten about the Su family. With such a stable situation, how can there be any more twists and turns

However, Luo Minzhi is also a person who understands the seriousness of the matter. Since his son came back and said so, he followed Luo Xia to the small warehouse near Qinminglou to have a look. Sure enough, the brocade had just been dyed. The first batch that Fang got out, he used to experiment with the weaving method and he threw it away because he was a little dissatisfied. The waste cloth, put it in a dark and damp corner, it will be a little messy, but the fading is not too much. He comforted his son and let it go.

Luo Minzhi didn't take these scraps to heart, and Luo Xia stopped thinking about it for the time being. He still walked in several workshops and warehouses every day. The Royal Merchant has already decided that in about a month, the first batch of 220 golden brocades will be shipped first. This kind of brocade is currently the signature of the Wu family, and it is impossible to release large-scale production. These small workshops are also rushing day and night, and they are constantly trying to improve and screen. The first batch of brocades produced , There are also those who were selected because of various deficiencies. Every day, they looked at textiles, printing and dyeing, and fabrics. Those golden colors, one day, Luo Xia went to the waste of Qin Minglou again. Cloth warehouse once.

The fading of the cloth in the corner has become obvious. Although it is normal for the cloth in the corner to fade, some ominous premonition flashed through Luo Xia's heart. Several discarded brocades were well kept. He opened the box and took a look. Some of them didn't look as golden as they were.

"I just prepared the recipe from the Su family, there will definitely be something wrong, and it is impossible for this batch to be shown to others..."

This is what my father said before. Luo Xia thought about it and went back to check some other fabrics. Just like the name of the golden brocade, all the fabrics are bright yellow and very gorgeous. It's just that for the next few days, the faded fabrics were always dangling in his mind, making him a little dazed. It was now October. On this day, he went to the warehouse, opened the brocades that had been sealed in the boxes, and took them out one by one. On the table, the stacks were more than two meters high, and the golden ones were almost dazzling. No one could stop Luo Xia. He continued to do it, and the strange thing was that several guys who looked after the warehouse were also unpacking boxes there.

"Luo Xia! You..." Director Qin didn't finish his words, because he had seen it at this time. Among the piles of golden silk and satin, there were two different colors. Luo Xia was holding a cloth Turn around.

"Uncle Qin, something went wrong with the first batch of Canjinjin..."

Manager Qin just hesitated for a moment, then waved abruptly: "Demolish, demolished!"

There was a problem with the first batch of golden brocades. When Luo Minzhi, Wu Qilong and others heard the news, they were all taken aback. But fortunately, the rest are still good. When everyone was put together, the fabrics faded obviously, but the rest were all integrated. This at least proves that the later brocades are no problem, because the Wu family used to be Not yet familiar with some small problems with the dye formula.

"We still don't know where the problem is. These days, we have made some adjustments to the formula. We can only check back to see what the problem is. Well, it's better to find out in time. situation.”

The cloths that have not faded are stacked together, and the golden look looks like an unfallable wall. Fortunately, Wu Qilong ordered to start to find out the reason, and then the cloth was re-boxed. Small twists and turns often occur in the business field. At this time, the twists and turns have passed, and Luo Xia, who discovered this matter, was rewarded for it. There are still 20 days before the first delivery of Royal Merchant, and there are not many tasks left. Several workshops are still working in full swing. No one mentions the fading thing again. The warehouses where those cloths are placed The door was also closed, and the key was held by Steward Qin himself, but after a few days, it became cancerous.

On this afternoon of the ninth day of October, when a guy passed the warehouse door, he found that the warehouse door that only steward Qin could enter was open. Manager Qin was sitting on the side of the warehouse. He was already a little old, and his hair and beard were all white. He looked a little haggard these days. Others only thought that he was too busy recently, but he knew that at this time, something finally appeared. A clue came out.

Sitting there, Director Qin's eyes were dull and haggard, one hand was shaking, and he looked straight at the piles of cloth on the other side, as if he saw something terrible.

The guy called him, but the old man didn't respond, so he turned back and shouted, "Someone!" When he looked back at the pile of fabrics, he found that in the dimly lit room, the fabric wall that was originally integrated , At this time, there are some staggered contrasts, and the roughly 100 pieces of cloth mixed in it have changed some colors darkly or lightly, not the original bright yellow. The faded cloth is mixed in the cloth wall. At this time, it looks like a strange face, with two eyes up and down, pulling a twisted lip, in this room, showing a smile...

The sunlight was also blocked from the door as if it had faded, and he refused to come in. The scene that may have happened in the Su family's cloth shop a few months ago was finally reproduced here, one by one, as if it had been copied.

In the workshop not far away, the workers are still working in full swing, each new piece of cloth has been dyed, and famous stewards are talking and laughing among the crowd. On the way to a better future...

********************

When he received the news, Wu Qilong was drinking tea with Luo Minzhi in a beautifully decorated tea house, discussing the innovations to be made when the second batch of imperial merchants was to be clothed, and the need to meet with a large cloth dealer this evening to solve the shortage of old cloth. On the issue of goods and filling, a guy came over and told him in a low voice what had happened.

"What did you say?" The voice was too low, Wu Qilong felt that he did not hear clearly, so he repeated it.

"Qin, steward Qin has fallen ill, and... the cloth is fading..."

"Wha… what cloth is fading?"

"Those golden brocades..."

"I know it's those golden brocades! Isn't the fading of those golden brocades already selected! I haven't found the reason yet, what are you talking about..."

"But..." The guy repeated the situation in the workshop and warehouse again. Even after this time, Wu Qilong was still a little unbelievable. He understood every word, but he couldn't form it in his mind. specific image. There are still more than ten days before the delivery to the royal family, cloth... Maybe everything is wrong? To fade

"What... what are you talking about?" He tilted his head, his eyes swayed, and then turned back, "what is fading..."

A month and a half has passed, and by this time, something has finally accumulated strength, breaking the illusion that it was like heaven in this month and a half that was deliberately created, and then began to ruthlessly destroy everyone. pull back...

At this time, Ning Yi was coming from the small laboratory next to the school. He closed the door in the afternoon of the late autumn and early winter, preparing to go home. He hasn't had much entertainment lately, and he doesn't even need to say hello when he sees many people in the family, which is very leisurely.
