"What's the trouble?"

Seeing the other party coming, Lu Chensheng asked directly.

"The construction speed of the palace is really too slow. After all, it is the shopkeeper's mansion, and it will be the face of Xinghan City from now on. The construction speed of the shopkeeper is not good!"

The craftsman looked at Lu Chensheng with a little helplessness on his face.

The shopkeeper doesn't care too much about this palace. If it's the other emperors, which one doesn't care much about his bedroom?

I'm afraid that it needs to be built as soon as possible no matter what, so Lu Chensheng, who is a bit unborn, doesn't care much here at all.

Before that, many people were suddenly arrested and returned. At first, they thought they had laborers, and then they were directly transferred away.

This really annoyed him a lot, he had finally found so much strength, and he lost it all of a sudden, how could he be happy?

Seeing the indignant look of the craftsman in front of him, Lu Chensheng felt a little helpless.

The palace given by the other party needs to spend an unknown amount of money to enter, which is completely unaffordable in today's Xinghan City.

Only by building slowly and little by little can it be repaired. How is it possible to repair it all at once?

It costs money in every aspect, and being able to spend part of the money here is actually pretty good.

If the progress is faster, there is no money to get it out.

"The treasury doesn't have much money right now, so things about the palace can take their time. Look for yourself, the wood you want is rosewood or something, and it's a particularly large one.

How much will it cost?If you want to build such a large palace, how much of this kind of wood do you need? "

Lu Chensheng looked at the craftsman in front of him, and said helplessly, signaling that the other party should also think about the money in the bank.

There is not so much money here, so the repair of the palace must be done slowly.

The craftsman was taken aback when he heard this, "But I just heard that the shopkeeper signed a big order and made a lot of money!"

Well, I heard that I suddenly got a huge sum of money, so I am going to take some silver and use it to repair the palace.

It was only now that Lu Chensheng realized why the other party came to him suddenly.

It was entirely because when the other party wanted money before, they were shirked or even just took a little bit, so when they suddenly knew the news, they came here to ask for a sum of money, and then speed up the construction of the palace.

Lu Chensheng understood it completely, but he still didn't have the money.

"People are exchanging goods for goods. They are all medicinal materials. Hetian jade and other things are traded. In fact, there is no money in the account. Where can I get the money?"

Lu Chensheng told the other party the truth, and did not intend to deceive the other party.

Anyway, the fact is like this, even if the other party doesn't believe it, Lu Chensheng has no other choice.

The craftsman was taken aback for a moment, and then he was disappointed. He didn't think that Lu Chensheng would deceive him.

Anyway, the other party is also the shopkeeper, the person in charge of Xing Seoul City, so naturally he will not deceive himself about this kind of thing.

"But the shopkeeper, with the construction speed of this palace, is the shopkeeper going to wait more than ten years to move in?"

This palace is not easy to build, I am afraid it will take several years of work.

It's just that according to Lu Chensheng's current funding rate, it may take more than ten years before he can move in.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng glanced at the craftsman and shook his head slightly.

"It's not urgent. If you can't even achieve the Great Unification, what's the point of living in such a palace?"

These craftsmen are all following, but they can be trusted, and Lu Chensheng didn't shy away from anything.

In fact, Lu Chensheng didn't have much thought about this palace. If he really wanted to live in such a palace, in Lu Chensheng's opinion, it would be the most comfortable thing to live in directly when the great unification came.

4Chapter 17 Expand production

The craftsman knew what the shopkeeper was thinking, and when he heard this, he immediately sighed.

I always feel that it is a matter of unification if the shopkeeper wants to unify, but this palace can't be delayed.

It's just that Lu Chensheng had no room for negotiation at all, and the craftsman could only leave.

Seeing the other party leave, Lu Chensheng shook his head in his heart. It's actually not a problem to put more things about the palace.

Without thinking too much about it, Lu Chensheng came to the workshop after a while.

"Right now, our most powerful material is manganese steel, but this one material is far from enough. I need you to conduct experiments and come up with other better materials."

The hundred-smelting steel has already started selling. Although the manganese steel is a generation ahead, there is no need to worry about the threat of this hundred-smelting steel armor to them.

But Lu Chensheng was still a little worried. He was going to let the blacksmiths in the workshop do some research.

Things like materials are just starting now, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

The leading craftsman nodded immediately when he heard the words, expressing his understanding.

"Is the tube that was explained before still under study?"

"Well, shopkeeper, this thing is too difficult to forge."

When the blacksmith heard this, his face was full of shame. Lu Chensheng had asked him to study this thing a long time ago, but at this moment they had only figured out a little bit.

There is no time at all for the distance to form.

"It's okay, there is still some time, take your time."

Seeing that the other party had no choice but to build such a pipe, Lu Chensheng didn't mean to embarrass the other party, and comforted him from the side.

Seeing that Lu Chensheng didn't blame him at all, the craftsman felt a little guilty instead.

It can be seen that this thing is still very important, but they haven't got a clue until now, so they naturally feel a little ashamed of Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng looked around, and then went to the dyeing workshop for another look.

The dyeing workshop went very smoothly, and the dyed cloth was loved by merchants from other places.

In order to ensure that the cloth will not fade, the fibers need to be dyed for a month, and the fibers must be in a sealed state during this month.

In this way, the color is extremely bright, but the output is a bit too low, causing some merchants to be unable to get the goods.

Lu Chensheng walked into the dyeing workshop, and at a glance, he saw countless colorful cloths hanging on the bamboo poles to dry, fluttering with the wind, which was very beautiful.

"There are several more colors in this cloth?"

Lu Chensheng took a look, and immediately found that there were several colors in the cloth, which he hadn't seen before.

In addition, the red color seems to have improved a bit, and the color of vermilion is even more gratifying.

In addition, there is a golden cloth in the corner on the side.

Golden?

This stuff is hard to dye, right?The main reason is that the raw materials for dyeing are difficult to find and dyed.

Looking at the golden color now, it was extremely pure, and Lu Chensheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"It's still in the shopkeeper's brochure. After experimenting, so many colors came out."

Seeing Lu Chensheng coming in, the dyer Zhiyun followed Lu Chensheng, and immediately responded when he heard Lu Chensheng looking at the dyed cloth.

Lu Chensheng nodded in satisfaction, "Your progress is going well."

Colors such as azure blue, gold, and crescent white have all been produced one by one.

It seems that we only need to expand the scale here, and that's it.

"I heard that your manpower is not enough, and the place is not big enough?"

Lu Chensheng took a look at the place. To be honest, the place was divided into half an acre of land at the beginning, but now it seems that it is not enough.

"Shopkeeper, this place is really not enough. When the merchants come to get the cloth, they are often out of stock. We are already doing our best to produce, but such a small place can only produce so much cloth.

If you want to sell more, you have to expand the place and recruit some people. "

The various materials for dyeing are all obtained from some plants, which are specially bought by someone, so there is nothing to worry about.

In fact, Xinghan City has already supported many people.

On the side of the iron mine, many people were hired to mine, and the wages paid were very generous. Many people in the Great Cang Kingdom were very willing to mine.

In addition, there is this dyeing workshop. The dyes are all from various plants, and these plants are basically absent in Star Seoul.

So I can only buy it. Since the work has not been stopped much, the demand for these things has increased a lot.

In this way, it has driven the economy of some places. Many people will collect these plants in their spare time, and then sell them to those who go out to buy.

The other is charcoal, which is specially burned and transported to Xing Seoul.

There is also a large demand in the blacksmith workshop, and the business of those who burn charcoal has improved a lot because of this.

In short, many things, large and small, in Star Seoul need to be purchased outside.

And this purchase also drove an industry, and some even directly gave birth to a new industry.

"Well, let's expand half an acre of land."

Lu Chensheng saw that it was really not enough here, so he nodded in response.

Dyeing craftsman Zhiyun was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"The shopkeeper, can I recruit some more people?"

"As long as you can recruit, you can recruit, but only Han Chinese."

When Lu Chensheng heard the words, he responded directly.

Although the dyeing workshop is not a big secret, it is also a profitable business, and it also relies on the salt workshop on the side. There are some things that need to be careful.

There is still a large gap between the workshops, and there is no problem at all if the dyeing workshop wants to expand, and it will not affect other workshops.

This was planned at the beginning by Ji. At that time, Lu Chensheng thought that there might be an expansion at that time, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Zhiyun was overjoyed when he heard the words, it was really great to be able to expand.

As for manpower, it is not easy to recruit manpower in Xing Seoul City.

Nowadays, there are important people everywhere, and there are really not many idle people.

I heard that there are also garment workshops, and they are also recruiting aggressively, but they are all looking for women, and there are also embroiderers, all of whom are looking for women.

They can also use women here, but they don't know if they can recruit them.

There are still too few people in Xing Seoul City, Zhi Yun sighed slightly at this thought, and then ignored it.

Anyway, if there are fewer people, it would be nice to let the people on my side work harder. Anyway, the place must be expanded.

Chapter 448 Pregnant

After inspecting the workshop, Lu Chensheng took a look at the rice field.

Seedlings have been planted beside the rice fields at this moment, and the tender green seedlings look particularly gratifying.

Lu Chensheng took a closer look, and [-] mu of them were experimental fields, and another [-] mu were directly planted with rice.

When it comes time to harvest, if there are more than 200 catties per mu, it will be a bumper harvest.

On the side of the rice is the ecological breeding made by the students.

A few students were inside, and after finding out a few eggs, their faces were filled with joy.

Seeing this, the hen on the side was about to come up and peck the students who were holding the eggs, but Shou Yue had taught these students after all, and each of them was considered sensitive, so he avoided them directly.

"gentlemen!"

Seeing Lu Chensheng at the side, the students immediately yelled, and then crowded up one by one.

"Look, sir, each of these chickens is very fat, and they lay eggs very diligently."

This is their own experimental breeding. Seeing these chickens, ducks and geese grow so strong, they are naturally very happy.

Lu Chensheng looked at it, with a little appreciation on his face, "Well, you are well-raised, it seems that you have wasted a lot of effort."

As Lu Chensheng said, he looked at the geese beside him.

Geese are very proud and are not afraid of people at all. When they see someone approaching, they will rush to bite you a few times.

But in the same way, the goose is also easy to catch, the opponent will not run around, but it becomes easier to catch.

Hearing Lu Chensheng's praise, the students were overjoyed.

"When the rice fields are harvested this year, sir, how about setting up a research institute for you to specialize in academic research?"
