Chapter 242 Cooperation with Prince Lin’s Mansion
Li Jiren, who was considered steady and measured by Han Qingyun, looked at his father and brother leaving and turned to Han Qingyun.
"Can Madam Han really make a weaving tool that saves labor?"
Han Qingyun nodded, and then he was pulled over by Li Jiren.
Han Qingyun: You promised to be calm and measured...
Wenzhuyuan was almost packed with people.
Prince Lin and Li Jixin came down from the roof.
When everyone saw them coming, they hurriedly made room for them.
Before he could squeeze forward, he saw Li Jiren grab Han Qingyun's waist and appear on the roof.
Prince Lin had never seen weaving.
But he knew that a young woman could not produce more than one thread per day with a spindle.
But the tool called a spinning wheel only spun out four strands of yarn in less than half an hour.
There is also a pedal loom, which uses the feet to control the rotation of the machine and is more than three times faster than the traditional waist loom.
Prince Lin was extremely excited. The Han family was truly extraordinary. They had made the right choice in snatching this person.
He laughed out loud, said yes repeatedly, and then patted Han Qingyun's shoulders twice.
Han Qingyun felt a weight on his shoulders and almost fell to the ground. Li Jiren helped him up.
Han Qingyun was too tired to complain. Wasn't he seriously ill? How could he still have so much strength?
Prince Lin then realized that he had lost his composure and smiled at Han Qingyun a little embarrassedly.
"What does Madam Han want? This prince will do his best to satisfy it."
Lu Yanyan did not hesitate.
"I am willing to contribute my textile tool craftsmanship to the palace. However, I want to open a few workshops in Jiyang, and I need the help of Prince Lin's palace to ensure that no one wants to take over the workshops."
"Can people from Madam Han's workshop recruit people from Jiyang?"
"Except for the purchasing staff and the stewards, all the workers in the workshop will be recruited from Jiyang. However, I need to sign a confidentiality agreement with them."
"Okay, I promise you."
Prince Lin was originally worried that the reward Lu Yanyan wanted would be related to money.
He is very poor now.
I heard from Li Jiren and Li Jixin that the Lu family and Lu Yanyan are very good at making money.
It’s good to be able to make money, but it’s even better to provide job opportunities for the people of Jiyang!
Prince Lin was about to say a few more words of praise when Lu Yanyan spoke again.
"My workshop would like to cooperate with the princess, and donate 30% of the profits to Jiyang for construction. The Lu family, the princess, and I will each take 20%. Of the remaining 10%, half will go to my partners Yan Dahu and others, and the other half will be used as worker benefits and reserved for unforeseen expenses."
"How can that be? This isn't robbery..."
Prince Lin and Princess Lin's first reaction was to refuse, but they soon thought that this was a good idea.
With the support of Prince Lin's Mansion, no one would dare to take advantage of Lu Yanyan even if she opened workshops all over Dayu.
Lu Yanyan did have the idea of relying on Prince Lin's Mansion for support.
The marinade will be developed sooner or later, but the hot pot base and other things she will make in the future need to be kept strictly confidential.
Even if Han Qingyun becomes a high-ranking official, she may not be able to keep him. It is better for her to tie herself to Prince Lin's Mansion directly.
From then on, she could expand her production and no longer have to transport the goods all the way to Yuezhou Prefecture to sell them secretly.
This was something the two of them had discussed when Lu Fugui left Luocheng for Yuezhou Prefecture.
As long as the business is big enough, they will only make more even if the commission is lower.
She was responsible for providing the recipe, while purchasing and processing were handed over to Yan Dahu and others, and Lu Fugui was responsible for promotion and sales.
If it develops well, many merchants will flock to Jiyang to purchase goods, which will be beneficial to Jiyang.
What Lu Yanyan thought of was also thought of by Prince Lin and his wife.
"Madam Han is so righteous. I thank you on behalf of Ji Yang."
Prince Lin said this and bowed to Lu Yanyan, who quickly returned the greeting.
After the matter was agreed upon, King Lin ordered that the spinning wheel and new loom be promoted as soon as possible.
Li Jiren took the blueprints and took Chang Fei and Tan Mu to the Baigong Institute.
Princess Lin discussed the workshop matters with Lu Yanyan, Yan Erhu and others.
Ten days later, news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiyang that the Baigong Institute was teaching the people of Jiyang textile technology.
People who do well can also get spinning wheels and looms.
It is said that the spinning wheel spins much faster than the spindle, and the cloth woven by the loom is of better quality than the loom, the speed is fast, and it is less tiring.
If the efficiency of weaving is improved, they in Jiyang will be able to make cloth by themselves, and they will not have to buy such expensive cloth in the future.
For a time, the Baigong Institute was overcrowded...
Lu Youtian's spinning workshop, Yan Hui's weaving workshop, and Lu Yanyan's silk dyeing workshop came into being.
In recent years, many businessmen have left Jiyang.
These workshops were entrusted to the officials in the hope of selling them.
The prices are not high and the area is large, so it is very cost-effective.
The house is still new and doesn't need much decoration. It can be used after a good cleaning.
As for why they are not merged together, Lu Yanyan said that assembly line operation is more efficient.
They didn't understand what assembly line operation was, and they just thought whatever Lu Yanyan said was right.
Lu Yanyan is their supplier, who not only buys cloth but also some yarn.
Lu Yanyan also told them some textile techniques from his previous life, such as combing cotton, twisting yarn, starching, and reeling yarn.
The cloth woven according to her method is smoother and more lustrous after being painted.
On July 6, Han Dongchen and Zhao Xingye found Han Qingyun and expressed their desire to join the Jiyang Army.
From the night when Prince Lin hosted the banquet, Han Qingyun could tell from the two men's eyes that they might have some thoughts.
"Dongchen, Xingye, do you know how formidable the enemy the Jiyang Army faces is?"
Han Dongchen and Zhao Xingye looked at each other, and finally looked at Han Qingyun with firm eyes.
"Uncle, we are not afraid."
Han Qingyun sighed. Zhao Xingye had always been sincere to him. Han Dongchen had also been very respectful and protective of him since Han Mingzhu's disappearance last year.
When their father left that day, he left the two families in his care.
The battlefield is extremely dangerous, and Han Dongchen has lost one hand. How can he feel at ease letting these two people join the army?
“It is true that the Jiyang Army always wins every battle, but even in victory, many soldiers are sacrificed in every battle.
Even those with high martial arts skills like the prince and the two young masters had been injured on the battlefield.
I know that a true man has his own lofty ambitions, but it's not only on the battlefield that one can realize his ambitions.
That day in Los Angeles, your father was willing to be drafted into the army to keep you safe.
You are all the eldest sons in your families. Now that your father is gone, it is up to you to establish the household.
But now, you two are going to the battlefield, regardless of your own safety. Do you want your younger brother, mother, wife, and children at home to support you?
Besides, Jiali and Zhiyong are still young, can you really bear to leave them?"
Han Qingyun's words made Han Dongchen and Zhao Xingye both cry.
Han Dongchen walked up to Han Qingyun and knelt down.
"Uncle, my cousin and I didn't do this impulsively because of a momentary rush of passion.
When we were in Fengye Village, we thought about joining the army. It was because of you, Second Uncle..."
"Me?" Han Qingyun was puzzled.
Zhao Xingye also knelt in front of Han Qingyun and nodded.
Han Qingyun finally remembered.
Ten years ago, Han Dongchen was ten years old.
The eldest wife of the Han family was not valued by Han Hongyuan, but Han Dongchen was the eldest grandson and had an integer birthday, so Han Hongyuan still specially held a birthday ceremony for Han Dongchen.
Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu were also invited over.
Han Qingyun knew that Han Dongchen learned martial arts from Zhao Chun, so he specially made a dagger for him.
However, Han Dongchen was still young at that time, and Han Qingyun was worried that he might hurt himself, so the dagger was not sharpened...
