"Be flat"

Xue Xiang thanked Long En, pretended to be calm and got up and stood aside, his demeanor was still suave.

On the surface, he is still the Suzhou magistrate who was born as a Jinshi and worked his way up from the bottom.

Xie Chenyu gave him a seat with a smile, and asked him to serve tea.

"I like Longjing in Jiangnan very much, but I can't buy a good one. Xue Aiqing just drinks it"

Xue Xiang hurriedly got up and said that he didn't dare, his eyes turned quickly, and he had to ask his subordinates to get a few boxes of top-quality Longjing and send them over, which was considered as a courtier's intention.

"It's all the negligence of the humble minister who actually let the emperor buy tea in person"

"The emperor did not give up, there are still a few taels of tea leaves in my humble minister's place, and I will send someone to send them back."

Xie Chenyu casually said that he had a heart.

He coughed twice and continued.

"I called Aiqing to come here at this moment and I mainly want to ask you why I heard rumors from the neighbors that the silk in Suzhou City is not as good as before."

"There is a family who wants to have a wedding, but even sends someone to Lin'an to buy it. Why?"

Xue Xiang was terrified, but quickly calmed down.

The fact that the emperor asked such a question shows that he doesn't know the situation yet, and he just needs to be a little rounder.

Xue Xiang smiled and said that there was nothing wrong with it, but some families would choose silk from other places and other places to cut wedding dresses in order to pursue novelty and rareness.

"Including Shu embroidery and Hangzhou silk, they are equally popular in Suzhou, and some goods are booked out as soon as they arrive at the wharf."

Xie Chenyu nodded slightly: "So that's how it is."

Worthy of being a scholar.

He made up lies and found reasons in one go, without changing his face and heartbeat, he must have practiced a lot in normal times.

"I have heard common people talking about it in the workshop, saying that the clothes are fading."

Finally, when he got to the point, Xue Xiang heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just heard, the emperor can't use what he heard as evidence to punish him, the emperor must not have seen it yet.

Xue Xiang smiled brightly.

"It's even more impossible to exist. How can I make such a low-level mistake in Suzhou, a famous weaving town?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can walk around and look around. Whether it is a cloth shop, an embroidery workshop or a tailor shop, there is no possibility that there will be faded clothes."

The goods that should be withdrawn are withdrawn, and the shops that should be closed are also closed.

Even if the emperor wants to investigate, he will never show his feet.

He has already intimidated those merchants.

The emperor is the king of a country, he is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can he participate in these trivial daily routines.

Anyone who doesn't want to hang out in Suzhou can run over and file a complaint. He is a majestic magistrate who is protected by court officials, so he is not afraid to file a complaint.

If there is someone who is not long-sighted and dares to find trouble at this time.

Once the emperor leaves, he will definitely drive their family out of Suzhou and never enter the city.

The common people pay attention to returning the fallen leaves to their roots. If a person is expelled from his hometown, there will be no other place to take him in. He can't even get a household registration, and his ancestors have become black households for generations.

Of course Xue Xiang is not afraid of these threats.

Xie Chenyu didn't argue, but only gave an order.

"Then Xue Aiqing will send some silk tomorrow. Some concubines around me want to see how the finest brocade in Suzhou is weaved and dyed."

Xue Xiang: "..."

Bite the bullet, he could only answer.

It was already midnight when he went back that night, and Master Su hadn't come back yet, so he hurriedly got out of bed and asked someone to look for him, but unfortunately he didn't find it until dawn.

Xue Xiang, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, had dark circles.

Thinking of the emperor's imperial decree, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he got into the carriage and rushed out of the city.

Rongde dyeing workshop
Su Nianbai, who had a good night's sleep, got up early in the morning, before he realized what happened yesterday, he saw Liu Da come back with his brothers in a cloud.

Liu Daxi wept.

"Boss, we heard that Rongde Dyeing Workshop has reopened. We were so happy that we stayed up all night, so we came here early in the morning."

The tall man cried like a child.

"This time, even if you beat me to death, I won't leave. It's really unpleasant, boss, I swear that I will live and die with our dyeing workshop."

Some people have expressed their views one after another.

Su Nianbai was stunned: "I didn't say that the dyeing workshop was going to open, how did you know?"

"Three young people came to us specifically last night, and he said it was you who was the shopkeeper, not you?"

Everyone has changed their work clothes and put on a good guy style.

There was passion and anticipation in their eyes, their bodies were straight, and they looked at him eagerly, and some even rubbed their fists.

Those who burn the fire and carry the material, these have long been engraved in the bone.

As long as he nods, these people can start working immediately, and within a day, all the clothes racks here will be covered with colorful silk.

Although Rongde Dyeing Workshop was squeezed out in the past, the quality of silk was excellent, and their business was not bad. Almost every few days, merchants, large and small, came to order.

Now... will there still be?
Su Nianbai gritted his teeth: "Brothers come in first, let's have a long-term plan."

"Don't have to think long term"

Xie Chenyu came out from behind them, still dressed as a businessman, and he stepped forward with his arms folded.

"Shopkeeper Su, just start working. I'll buy as much as you have from Rongde Dyeing Workshop. The deposit will be delivered immediately."

Liu Da was even more excited.

"Master, listen, we have an order, let's start work, brothers can't wait"

How it feels to be alive.

Su Nianbai felt his heart suck in hard and then let go again, his shelled soul re-injected into his body.

He patted Xie Chenyu on the shoulder.

"Brothers, get to work"

Su Nianbai invited Xie Chenyu to his main hall, and personally poured tea with him.

"The little brother looks younger than me, so I will ask you to thank you brother"

"Your heart and appreciation for Su, but you..."

Xie Chenyu knew what he was going to say and immediately waved his hand.

"Needless to say"

"Shopkeeper Su's concerns are all known to me, you don't have to worry, you only produce on time every day, everything is up to me"

Su Nianbai was puzzled.

It was obvious that the other party was just a young merchant from a different place from the capital, so he shouldn't have listened to it.

But I just can't control myself.

The aura of this person is too strong, when he said that everything has me, he even wanted to kneel down and prostrate himself.

Fortunately, his knee bones were hard and he held on.

"OK then"

"That's right, except for me, Xie, you don't have to open the door for everyone else to come, not even prefect Su."

Su Nianbai was really scared.

He vaguely felt that the person in front of him was not a merchant at all, and thought of what Su Zhifu said about an adult from the capital coming to Suzhou for an unannounced visit.

His hairs stood on end.

The person in front of me, isn't it?
After Xie Chenyu left, he looked back at Rongde Dyefang.

Uncle is really a hero, Xue Xiang probably never imagined how he was frantically probing on the verge of death.

He left with his front foot, and Xue Xiang came to the door with his back foot.

He got off the carriage himself and shouted outside the door.

"Come on, open the door for me"

"Su Nianbai, come out for me"

"Come on, knock the door open for me, immediately!"

A few servants rushed down from the carriage and kicked hard at the gate of Rongde Dyeing Workshop. Liu Da wanted to come out to stop him, but was stopped by Su Nianbai.

"do not go"

"Why the boss? He's going to knock down our door"
