Chapter 256 What is the special loom?

After receiving the news, a man who looked like the Imperial Master and a woman went to the Imperial Master's residence and took away the bead.

He immediately dispatched his elite troops, forming three layers inside and outside, to secretly monitor the Imperial Master's Mansion closely.

There were too many people outside during the Lantern Festival, and he didn't want to make any noise and alert the enemy.

The person who came to report didn't know, but he knew it very well in his mind: the man whose figure resembled that of the Imperial Master was the Imperial Master!

The old emperor had a very good plan. The imperial teacher would definitely return to the north. It was impossible for him to suddenly disappear in front of so many people. After the imperial teacher left, he would go and ask for help from another expert.

All the people sent out were useless and couldn't keep up with anyone. Fortunately, the two of them finally returned home.

Almost as soon as the two of them entered the door, people from the palace arrived.

The leading eunuch said that he wanted to summon Gaoren into the palace.

Everyone in the mansion was very cooperative. To be honest, the master came and went without a trace, and they didn't know either, so they could search if they wanted.

A large group of people came and fished the bottom of the pond with poles, but they didn't find a single trace of the fish.

The old emperor came back trembling with fear and had a big tantrum. It was only after the imperial physician told him not to get excited that he endured it.

Just now, his breathing was extremely rapid and heavy, as if he could faint at any time.

"Where's the prince? If I hadn't asked him to prepare in advance, he wouldn't be able to handle such a small matter!!"

The old emperor smashed the medicine bowl to the ground. His previously well-maintained face now had many more wrinkles between his brows than it had a few months ago.

The cultivation method given by the master has been delivered. He asked someone to try it first, and the person said that it can indeed make one calm and feel good.

Now, the old emperor was even more eager to find the person.

The master likes gold, silver and jewelry, so things are easy. As long as we find the person, he has plenty of these things, so there is no need to worry about not being able to bribe her.

But I couldn't find anyone.

The feeling that he was only one step away from success made the old emperor, whose spirit was already broken to the limit, even more furious.

He knew he had no time left and he didn't know when he would hear from the other party again.

"Pass the order down, whoever finds her will be promoted!"

The old emperor stroked the ring on his hand with an excited look on his face.

In recent days, whenever he closed his eyes, he could see those clan members who had died at his hands.

Especially the cousin who was said by the former supervisor to be the heir to the throne.

He then murdered his cousin's entire family, including the infant, and several other cousins ​​of the right age and decent family background.

He exchanged his life for the Great Qi Kingdom, but the throne was offered to them, and he was unwilling!

Those cloudy eyes seemed to see himself sitting on the throne decades ago, full of vigor and vitality, calmly asking the Supervisor and General He,

"They are all dead. I am the only one who can sit in this position. What do you think we should do?"

The looks between the two of them were very interesting at the time, but Jianzheng was sensible and immediately stood on his side.

The old emperor looked at the magnificent but empty palace, and those clan members seemed to be standing in the dark and looking at him.

"This world belongs to me. I saved Da Qi!"

The old emperor muttered to himself for a while, and then instructed the eunuch beside him,
"Add more lamps! Light them up! And call the warden over."

"Yes."

The young eunuch did not dare to delay and hurried to do the work, fearing that he would be in trouble if he was late for a second. The saint's condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but today he got the method given by the master, which was considered good.

Yesterday, I saw a little palace maid smiling at her sisters, and an hour later, they were added to the list of people to be buried alive.

-

It will take a few more days for Wen Zhi to lead his troops back to the capital.

Shen You was not idle either. She was preparing to resume work in the studio and also had to take care of business in the shop.

Liu Erniang brought the account book over early in the morning, and the dividends would be delivered by Liu Zheng. She knew that Shen You didn't want the banknotes, and it would be too conspicuous for her to carry a box of silver herself, so she asked Liu Zheng to deliver it.

Through the account books and her stories, Shen You roughly knew the current scale of her weaving workshop.

It is truly remarkable that such rapid development has been achieved in such a short period of time.

She is now the largest cotton cloth merchant in the capital. Liuji Workshop is divided into two types, one specializing in weaving cotton cloth and the other specializing in weaving silk and satin.

The Western Region 'Mermaid Silk' fabric that Shen You left behind earlier made Liu's business very popular in the capital.

The daughter of Marquis Zhao bought the second piece of cloth. After it was made into a garment, many noble ladies were envious and came to ask if they could buy more or have it woven.

Everyone was willing to wait, but Liu Er Niang had never seen this kind of cloth before, and didn't know what material it was made of or where it could be woven.

Although I didn't buy the mermaid silk, other materials were sold out, and the schedule for custom-made clothes has been scheduled for three months later.

While expanding her business, Liu Erniang also took in many women from poor families as apprentices, and also bought women who were about to be sold by their husbands for silver.

She also followed Miss Shen's advice and established a good relationship with the old lady of the Liu Mansion to stabilize her business.

With the support of nobles behind her, those who clamored to drive her out of this industry did not dare to use their power to pressure others.

Everyone knows that the Liu family is now on the rise.

"When I went to the Liu residence to deliver the materials to the women, I was a little worried. I didn't expect that the old lady and the lady were both kind people, and they took good care of our Liuji workshop."

Shen You smiled but said nothing. In ancient times, a family that could raise a girl like Liu Yunyan who was as brave as any man and agree to let her not get married and go to the north to take risks would not be a difficult family to deal with.

"These are the materials you ordered." Liu Erniang wanted Shen You to check them.

Shen You just glanced at it casually and said, "I feel relieved because you handled the order yourself."

"If there were too much mermaid silk, it would be worthless, but I still have a lot here. It's thin and light, doesn't wrinkle easily, doesn't fade when washed, and has a lustrous sheen."

Shen You took things out of the warehouse.

In fact, it is the water-gloss gauze sold on the Internet. It is very cheap. The blue gradient one is called mermaid gauze, and the one as white as moonlight is called moonlight gauze.

There is also a kind of Tencel fabric, which is cheap and comfortable, but not wrinkle-resistant. It is a new type of fabric made from natural wood pulp fiber.

But it is much more durable than the delicate silk fabric and will not lose its original luster after washing.

Shen You didn't buy much, as each type was limited. Making money was one thing, but the living space of other fabrics in the ancient market could not be squeezed out.

If she could make Tencel in ancient times, she could pass the technology to Liu Erniang and popularize it, but the conditions here really cannot do it.

What’s more, the advantage of these fabrics is that their colors and patterns were not available in ancient times. They are rare and luxurious, and they are comparable to the Luo and brocade of the Da Qi Dynasty.

After listening to Shen You, Liu Er Niang looked at the cloth in front of her with surprise. The things made by people from the Western Regions were not as comfortable as their silk, but the colors and patterns were indeed special, and they had a fairy-like feeling.

"That's great. With these pieces of material, I can explain to those ladies who urged me to find a way to get more material from the Western Regions."

Liu Erniang smiled and said, "However, Miss Shen, I have a question. The width of the fabric in the Western Regions is very large. We cannot make such wide fabrics here due to the limitation of the looms. Do they have larger looms?"

She couldn't imagine how complicated a loom would be needed to make such a wide piece of material. Even if several people worked together, it would be difficult to use.
