Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wuhu Huizhou Wharf.

    After hearing what Zhao Hao said, the three of them laughed.

    "When Mr. Zhao comes to Wuhu, he must be received with the highest standards both emotionally and rationally. Otherwise, I, the county magistrate, will be blamed." The handsome magistrate is as handsome as he is.

    "Yes, I am extremely honored that the young master can come to Wuhu in person. Where can I be?" Ruan Bi also said with a smile.

    "Haha, I told you, you want to keep a low profile, but you can't defeat the county magistrate and the old president." Wang Yu's tone revealed unusual intimacy.

    After greetings, the three introduced other Wuhu officials and local gentry.

    ¡° Among them was Ruan Bi¡¯s nephew, Ruan Fan, the chief shopkeeper of the Wuhu Dyeing Administration Ruan Bi was old and had no children, so he could only train his nephew to be his successor.

    Wang Yu¡¯s elder brother, Wang Zao, runs an iron mine in Fanchang.  There is also Jiang Shuxian, the president of the Wuhu Rice Market Guild.  As well as Wuhu Shipbuilding Industry Chairman Cha Jie, medicinal materials industry president Wang Yilong, etc They are also Huizhou merchants, and there are many Xiuning fellows.

    Zhao Hao has never seen such a scene. All the gentry in a city are businessmen, and there are so many guilds.

    This is a city controlled by businessmen and basically operated according to business rules.  In this regard, even Suzhou cannot compare.

    Of course, this has something to do with the fact that there are few promising scholars in the local area The last person to be a Jinshi was a fellow Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, which was already twenty years ago.

    It can be seen that there are gains and losses.

    ??~~

    The luncheon was held at the county mansion.  Not surprisingly, Huizhou cuisine plays the leading role in the banquet, and is garnished with fresh Jiangxi cuisine.  "Stewed turtle with ham", "pickled fresh mandarin fish", "Huangshan stewed pigeon", etc. are all the most authentic Huizhou flavors.

    "It's a pity that Mr. Zhao is a fake Huizhou native and really can't enjoy the taste of stinky mandarin fish."  There were also hairy tofu, which made him a little unappetizing.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of the long boat ride, I lost my appetite, so I picked up a few lighter dishes to satisfy my hunger.

    No one felt too embarrassed, Mr. Zhao was a very interesting boss, so it was strange that he was not picky.

    ????????????????????????????????????????? Since everyone is from the same hometown, everyone speaks their local accent at the wine table and talks and laughs freely, so we don¡¯t worry about being left out.

    When Shuai Zhixian first took office, he always had the illusion that he was the county magistrate in Huizhou.  But now he is used to it, and he has also learned Huizhou dialect, so he can mingle with this group of Huizhou merchants.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What benefits do you have if you are on your own?  There is no need for Shuai Zhi County to be like Shi Qingshan and Jia Gui, who have to rush up the pole to beg Zhao Hao.

    After a feast, everyone sent Mr. Zhao to stay in the Wang family¡¯s garden.

    Zhao Hao will stay in Wuhu for a few days. Even if he wants to talk about something, he is not in a hurry.

    There was just an episode at night. Wang Yu arranged for several beautiful women to warm Mr. Zhao's bed.  But he was kicked away by Qiaoqiao without even touching his bedroom door.

    "Our young master is still young, don't let him see these messy things!" Qiaoqiao put her hands on her hips and was rude to Wang Yu who came to apologize.

    "What are you talking about? Be polite to Uncle Wang." Zhao Hao walked out with a wry smile and invited Wang Yu into the room to have tea: "The family is too strict in this regard, so I took it in kindly."

    "Haha, just like your grandfather cares about your father, he is already twenty, and I don't even dare to take him to drink wine." Wang Yu opened his mouth, and he was an old man.

    Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that he didn't waste time picking up Lolita.  But he smiled and said: "Our Zhao family has always been like this, what can we do?"

    "Well, on the one hand, it's admirable. On the other hand, we must learn from Emperor Xiaozong's lesson." Wang Yu whispered: "Your father only has one son, and your uncle only has one son and one daughter. The population is too thin."  No, it¡¯s not safe.¡±

    "Ahem, thank you for reminding me." Mr. Zhao coughed slightly awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic to the next trip, asking him where to go first tomorrow.

    "Let's go to the old president's place first. Respect the old and love the young." Wang Yu said with a smile: "If you have time, come to my place in the afternoon. If you don't have time, the day after tomorrow."

    "You can arrange it the day after tomorrow." Zhao Hao smiled.

    "Why, is there anyone else coming?"

    "Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile, "Master Xu."

    This Young Master Xu is naturally Xu Bangrui, not Xu Fan who has become a missing person.

    "Oh." Wang Yu nodded, not surprised.  Obviously both parties have already passed their anger.

    ??~~

    Early the next morning, Ruan Bi's nephew Ruan Fan came to pick Mr. Zhao up to visit his dyeing bureau.

    From Huajin Bridge to Qingyi Jiangnan?, there are rows of dyeing workshops and dyeing bureaus, the largest of which is the Ruan family's 'Yongxing Dyeing Bureau'.

    Ruan Bi had been waiting at the entrance of the dyeing bureau for a long time. After seeing the ceremony, he personally led Zhao Hao into the front store for a visit.

    Yongxing Sizing and Dyeing Bureau is still a front store and a back store model. When you enter the grand store, you will see that the mahogany counter inside is filled with hundreds of colors of fabrics.  There are bright red, lotus red, red, silver red, water red and wood red.  Purple, ocher yellow, goose yellow, golden yellow, brown, green, bean green, oil green, azure, grape green, egg green, emerald blue, sky blue, black, moon white, ivory

    Ruan Fan, who was not in person, introduced himself, and Zhao Gongzi could not recognize these colors.  He couldn't help but secretly marvel. Before there were no chemical dyes, it was possible to dye such rich colors with natural dyes alone. Wuhu's starch dyeing industry was really ridiculously strong.

    Zhao Hao counted, there are more than a dozen kinds of blue fabrics alone, and with various printed blue fabrics, there are as many as thirty kinds.

    ¡°Blue fabric is the largest sales volume, accounting for 70% of all shipments.¡± Ruan Fan introduced.

    "Is it because everyone likes blue?" Zhao Hao asked strangely, and he also discovered this phenomenon.  Even four hundred years later, before the 1990s, most people's clothes were mainly blue.

    "No, it's mainly because we are willing to sell blue cloth." The store is closed to the public today, and Ruan Fan of course has to show his honesty to leave a good impression on Mr. Zhao.

    "Blue dye is easy to obtain, easy to color, and not easy to fade." Ruan Bi on the side said with a wry smile: "And it can be dyed with cascading and changing blue, which can make buyers feel that our products are rich."

    "That's right." Zhao Hao nodded. This kind of sales method would be very common four hundred years later.  Giving you a bunch of different flavors, the product is actually the same, but it makes you feel like you have a lot of choices.

    "But don't underestimate these blue cloths, sir. There are a lot of them." Ruan Fan confidently introduced: "This kind of satin-like glossy blue cloth can only be dyed by us in Yongxing. However, glossy blue cloth has been dyed in recent years.  It¡¯s no longer very popular, and now this kind of woolen green cloth is more popular.¡±

    "I have worn this material before." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "The color of the red flame is faint, and it looks like wool. It feels very high-end."

    "It's more expensive than plain silk." Secretary Ma behind him had long been deeply attracted by the dazzling array of fabrics in front of him, and couldn't help but add in a low voice.

    "Really?" Zhao Hao took a breath, thinking that this printing and dyeing business is indeed profitable.  After spending time in the dye vat, the price of cotton cloth doubled several times.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
