The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"The craftsmen who know how to dye cloth are all very popular. Wang Dingchang holds the cloth dyeing formula of the entire Yangzhou City in his hands. It's too difficult to find!"

"Xiao'er approached that prodigal son Wang Kang before, did a lot of useless work, and didn't come up with a formula..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already taken care of it for you," Dong Gan said with a smile, "I've found a craftsman for you. formula!"

"Purple?" Wang Dingchang was surprised. Purple is the most precious color. As far as he knows, only Wang Dingchang's Fuyang Cloth Factory has the only artisans who are proficient in dyeing purple in Yangzhou!

"Could it be..." Liu Shan thought of a possibility.

At this moment, He An entered the living room under the leadership of his servants.

"Haha, we were still talking about you, and you will be here." Seeing He An, Dong Gan smiled and said with bright eyes.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the cloth dyeing craftsman I found for you, the former shopkeeper of Fuyang Buzhuang South Street branch, He An!"

[Author's Digression]: There will be another chapter later, it may be late, ask for a bank note,

Chapter 51 The Willow Family's Conspiracy

"He An! It's He An?" Liu Shan stood up immediately, looking at Dong Qian with surprise.

As the enemy of the Earl's Mansion, and he is about to open a cloth shop, he naturally knows every capable person under Wang Dingchang!

And He An in front of him is one of them. This person is also the first old man who followed Wang Dingchang, and witnessed Wang Dingchang being awarded the earl by a merchant.

It's incredible that Dong Qian could win over this person.

"Haha Patriarch Liu, I've known you for a long time, and I've wanted to meet you for a long time, who would have waited until now, I'm ashamed!" He An clasped his fists and said.

"Shopkeeper He, sorry for your disrespect!" Liu Shan also clasped his fists in response.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Several people sat down humbly, and Dong Qian took the lead and said: "Liu Shan, you can rest assured now! With He An's help, the cloth village we opened will be able to stand up to Fuyang cloth village!"

"Haha! That's natural," Liu Shan also laughed. In the past few days, Wang Kang first won a large amount of money from the gambling house, and then he made a big fuss in the drunk fairy house.

If he hadn't tried his best to restore it, I'm afraid even the signboard would have been smashed.

In the two incidents, the Liu family suffered huge losses, even the reserve fund for opening the cloth shop was gone.

In order to open it as scheduled, he had no choice but to borrow money from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce. You must know that the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce has high interest on loans.

If Dong Qian hadn't guaranteed to find a cloth dyeing craftsman, he wouldn't have taken such a risk, but now it seems worthwhile.

"Professor He has mastered the formula of purple dyeing cloth. This alone will make our cloth shop famous quickly, and it will be no problem to fight against Fuyang cloth shop at that time!" Liu Shan said with a smile again.

"Different courts?" He An smiled lightly, then took a sip of the tea in his cup, and said calmly: "If it is done properly, it is very possible to completely suppress Fuyang Cloth Village!"

"Why did shopkeeper He say that?" Liu Shan asked, "Wang Dingchang started out as a silk cloth maker, and later made men's and women's clothing. He has been practicing this way for many years. It is not easy for us to compete with him, so how can we suppress him?"

Hearing this, Dong Qian secretly nodded in agreement.

"Because I have a better purple formula!" He An finally let it go.

"A better formula? Could it be that you newly developed it?" Liu Shan asked.

"No, no," He An shook his head, pulled out a piece of purple silk from his cuff and said with a smile, "Please take a look, both of you?"

"This... purple..."

Seeing this, Liu Shan suddenly turned pale.

It was already night, and there were many candles lit in the house, bright as day, even if it was so, it was not as dazzling as the purple.

Deep precipitation, brilliance burning eyes.

Dong Qian took a deep breath, looked at He An and said, "You dyed this?"

"Yes!" He An nodded!

"Mister has such a formula, great things can be accomplished, I believe this silk will cause a sensation in Yangzhou City," Liu Shan said excitedly after recovering.

"Although I have the formula, I didn't develop the formula." He An shook his head.

"It's not you, who is that?" Liu Shan asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, a flash of resentment flashed in He An's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It's that prodigal young master from the Earl's Mansion, Wang Kang!"

"What did you say?" Liu Shan frowned deeply and looked at Dong Gan and said, "That prodigal son may not even know where the door of his cloth village is opened, so how could he have such a recipe."

"He got it from a folk. Let me tell you about it..."

He An spoke up.

After He An finished speaking, Liu Shan asked in surprise: "So, you got this formula in exchange for calling that prodigal son a grandfather?"

"Yes!" He An took a deep breath and replied, this matter was a great shame to him, and it was also the reason why he came to Liu's house in a hurry.

He wants to use the formula that the prodigal son taught him to take revenge on his family!

"This damned prodigal son!" Liu Shan yelled, he felt what happened to He An, and the shame he received from Wang Kang must not be less than that of He An.

"Sir, don't blame it, if it wasn't for the luck of the prodigal son to get this formula, you wouldn't get it either," Dong Qian said in a deep voice, "It must have been arranged by the heavens to use his formula to ruin his family's business!"

"With such a formula, we can definitely rise, but we must hurry up and dye a large amount of silk cloth as quickly as possible to seize the opportunity. It is hard to guarantee that the prodigal son will not teach the formula to others."

"That's what I mean too. Tomorrow I will directly move into the Liu Family Cloth Manor and start dyeing cloth!" He An said solemnly, "I will leave it to you for a few days, but the Earl's Mansion will find out eventually."

"Uncle Fuyang is very powerful. If he finds out that I've betrayed him, he will definitely make things difficult for me. If I fail, I will ask Young Master Dong to protect him..."

"Haha, of course, Mr. Anbao will be fine with my protection!" Dong Qian replied.

"It's so hard work." He An felt relieved.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Shan suddenly slapped the armrest, and said loudly: "In that case, I will go to the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to borrow [-] gold coins, which will be used to buy cotton gauze and hire craftsmen!"

"From tomorrow onwards, we will try our best to dye the cloth and sell it quickly. By then, even Fuyang cloth shop will sell the same purple silk as us, and we can make a big fuss!"

"Let's say that Fuyang cloth shop stole our formula and ruined his reputation!"

"Okay! Just use this method," Dong Qian also echoed: "Who can resist you, we used this method to destroy Du's wine two years ago, and now we use this method to destroy his Fuyang cloth village!"

"The Earl of Fuyang lies in his wealth. As long as he loses his wealth, Wang Dingchang is just a toothless tiger. By then, it will be easy to deal with that prodigal son Wang Kang!"

"So good!"

Several people looked at each other and laughed sinisterly together!
