Chapter 1544 Reduce the price of cotton cloth
Then he smiled and raised his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to come here?"
"It happened to be free at noon. I came back to accompany you for dinner. I didn't expect that there was no one in the house. I heard that you were here, so I came here." Chu Heng wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes were deep and gentle: "But time to eat?"
"It's about to eat, let's go, let's have lunch together." Ye Muyu stretched out his hand to pull him.
There is a special room reserved for her to rest in the workshop.
Ye Muyu didn't want to disturb others, so she went straight back to the house.
Chu Heng ordered the guards who had just been let in to go to the kitchen to bring food.
Pulling Ye Muyu to sit down, took off the handkerchief from her waist, and gently wiped her hands.
Seeing that he was still serving her in such a busy manner, Ye Muyu quickly withdrew her hand, snatched the handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I'll just come by myself. The cooks in the kitchen here are average, but there is steamed meat with pumpkin and glutinous rice at noon. Sweet ones, and the pork belly you like, you can try it later."
"Will I delay you by coming here?" Seeing her smiling face, Chu Hengguang was in a great mood, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Ye Muyu took a sip of the teacup very naturally, then held the teacup to warm his hands, shook his head and said, "Don't delay, I'm not very busy, but there are too many customers who came to the shop to buy cotton clothes recently, so I thought about working overtime. Make some, but there are not many raw materials in stock in the workshop, and they won't be sold for long."
"Fortunately, I organized four or five caravans to take the cotton clothes in the shop to the villages outside the capital for sale. By the way, I could exchange some cotton and other raw materials back."
Chu Heng listened to her with a smile.
Ye Muyu finished speaking, turned her head to look at him, and pouted: "Ah Heng, why don't you ask me what I'm doing?"
"Aren't you going to tell me?" When Chu Heng smiled, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his stern eyebrows seemed to have melted into ice.
Ye Muyu didn't care about this small detail, and said with her chin in her hand, "That's right, anyway, I can't help but tell you, and I'm afraid you already know what I'm doing."
Ye Muyu didn't suspect that Chu Heng was following her, but that he was smart and would basically find useful information from the clues in other people's words.
She usually has nothing to hide when she talks to him, so it is easier to be guessed.
"Ah Heng, I'm going to bring down the price of cotton-padded clothes. Precious fabrics like silk and satin are rare and expensive. Naturally, there are reasons why they are expensive. And those who can afford silk are also from wealthy families."
"But cotton clothes are different. If we can make more cotton clothes and let everyone have clothes to wear, the number of people who freeze to death every winter will be greatly reduced. However, although cotton clothes and linen clothes are cheaper, they will also affect the interests of many people."
Ye Muyu feels that this is a long way to go and requires the support of the imperial court. It may be possible to complete it with her alone, but the obstacles encountered in the middle may not be small, and it may not go smoothly.
Chu Heng wrapped her hand in the palm of his hand, scratched his fingers slightly, and showed no fear: "You want to reduce the price of cotton cloth by improving the loom?"
"Yes, the loom in the workshop has already been produced." Ye Muyu smiled at him asking for credit.
Seeing her cute appearance, Chu Heng couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold her in his arms and rubbed her, "Since it was made by a loom, the emperor will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity after knowing about it."
