The craftsman knew what the shopkeeper was thinking. When he heard this, he sighed.

I always feel that if the shopkeeper wants to unify, it is a matter of unification, but this palace cannot delay it.

But Lu Chensheng had no room for negotiation at all, so the craftsman had no choice but to leave.

When Lu Chensheng saw the other party leaving, he shook his head in his heart. There was nothing wrong with letting things in the palace go.

Without thinking much about it, Lu Chensheng came to the workshop a moment later.

"Right now, our most powerful material is manganese steel, but this one material is not enough. I need you to conduct experiments and come up with other better materials."

Bailiangang has already started selling it. Although the manganese steel is one generation ahead, there is no need to worry about the threat that Bailiangang's armor will pose to them.

But Lu Chensheng was still a little worried, and he planned to let the blacksmiths in the workshop conduct some research.

Things like materials are still just in their infancy, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

The leader of the craftsmen nodded immediately after hearing this, indicating that he understood.

"Are the tubes you were told about before still under study?"

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

Hearing this, the blacksmith's 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 explored it a little bit.

There is no time left until it is formed.

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

Seeing that the other party had no way to build such a pipe, Lu Chensheng did not mean to embarrass the other party and comforted him.

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

It is obvious that this thing is still very important, but until now, they still have no clue, so naturally they feel a little ashamed of Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng looked around and then went to the dyeing workshop to take a look.

The dyeing workshop went very smoothly, and the dyed cloth was very popular with businessmen 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.

As a result, 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 saw countless colorful cloths hanging on bamboo poles to dry in the sun. They were constantly fluttering in the wind, which looked very beautiful.

"This cloth comes in several more colors?"

Lu Chensheng took a look and immediately discovered that there were several more colors in the cloth that he had never seen before.

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

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

Golden?

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

Now when he saw that this golden color was extremely pure, Lu Chensheng couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's in the shopkeeper's booklet, so many colors came out after experiments."

When the dyer Zhiyun saw Lu Chensheng come in, he was already following him. Hearing what Lu Chensheng said while looking at the dyed cloth, he immediately responded.

Lu Chensheng nodded with satisfaction, "The progress on your side is going very smoothly."

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

It seems like we just need to expand the scale here, and that's enough.

"I heard that you don't have enough manpower here, and the space isn't big enough?"

Lu Chensheng took a look at the place. To be honest, this place was allocated 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 pick up the cloth, they often don't have the goods. We are already trying our best to produce, but with such a small space, we can only produce so much cloth.

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

The various dyeing materials are all obtained from some plants, and they are bought by special people, so there is nothing to worry about.

In fact, Xinghan City now supports many people.

Over there, many people are hired to mine the iron mines, and the wages are very generous. Many people in Da Cang Country are very willing to go mining.

In addition, there is this dyeing workshop. The dyes are made from various plants. These plants are basically not found in Seoul.

So I can only buy them. Since there has not been much work stoppage, the demand for these things has also increased a lot.

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

The other is charcoal, which is specially burned and transported to Xinghan City.

The demand at the blacksmith shop is also great, and the business of those who burn charcoal has improved a lot because of this.

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

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

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

Lu Chensheng saw that this place was really not enough, so he nodded in agreement.

When the dyer Zhiyun heard this, he suddenly felt happy.

"Then shopkeeper, can I hire more people?"

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

Lu Chensheng heard this and responded directly.

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

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

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

Zhiyun was immediately happy when he heard this. It would be great to be able to expand.

As for manpower, it is difficult to recruit people in Xinghan City.

Nowadays, there are important people everywhere, and there really aren't many people who are free.

I heard that there are also garment factories that are recruiting people aggressively, but they are all looking for women, and those doing embroidery are also looking for women.

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

There were still too few people in Xinghan City. Zhiyun sighed slightly when he thought of this, and then ignored it.
