Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1720 Li's Chemical Industry
"How is Chu Weiguo?" Chu Yun had a headache to name his youngest son.

"Is this name too casual..." Even before Xiao Xiu'er spoke, Da Yu'er was the first to protest.

"Let me go back to my home in the capital and think about it."

Chu Yun really didn't have any good ideas for a while. Anyway, this youngest son has been waiting for two years, so he might as well wait a little longer.

Chu Yun found out that Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan were also there, and when Chen Yuanyuan grew up, he even showed a "disaster to the country and the people" appearance.

Of course, the Wu Sangui of this world was seriously injured in the battle with the Liao Liao army led by Chu Yun, so it is impossible for him to have an intersection with Chen Yuanyuan.

The world is stable, so naturally there is no reason to accuse a woman of all crimes.

"Brother Ling'er, I haven't seen you for two or three years. You have grown a lot taller than before, and you are almost catching up with your sister."

Chen Yuanyuan has a close relationship with Ling'er, and she was surprised to find that Ling'er, who was growing up, was almost as tall as her, and was obviously still growing.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you are more beautiful than before." Ling'er said without hesitation.

"I learned to please girls at a young age, it's not okay." Although Chen Yuanyuan said so, she was still very happy.

This little kid...

Chu Yun felt a little helpless towards his eldest son. He grew up under the protection of many girls, so he never felt timid in front of any girls, and his flirting skills were full.

After seeing many officials in Tianjin Wei, Chu Yun still had to return to the capital to deal with the matter.

But when he was about to take the train back to the capital, Yu Cheng, who had been serving as Chu Yun's bodyguard, came to report: "My lord, businessman Li Jinde is asking to see you."

"Li Jinde? Let him come in and see me." Chu Yun still took good care of him.

Li Jinde and his family were still waiting outside the courtyard. He said to Selina and his children, "I'm going to meet the military leader, and you can go and play with your brothers and sisters."

Ling'er, Xue'er and the others were all in the temporary courtyard, and the two families met each other because of the accidental bond formed by their parents.

"Hello three aunts, brother Ling'er and sister Xue'er." Li Yinger knew Ella, Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer and others, and also knew Chu Lingyun, who was older than her, and gestured, "Brother Linger, You are already a head taller than me."

"Sister Ying'er has also grown taller than before, but she's still not as tall as me." Ling'er said.

"What do you, a boy, compete with your younger sister for height?" Ella knocked Ling'er on the head angrily.

"How is Queen Sophia doing recently?" Selina asked.

"She is still the same as before. The only regret is that the distance between the east and the west is too far, and Sofia is limited by her status." Ella said.

"There is no way around this..." Selina and Sophia came to the Eastern Capital in the same group of envoys. As a daughter of a nobleman, she still respected the Queen of England, not to mention that they had been together for a while.

At present, it is very difficult for the two sides to meet each other again. Selina can only express her regret. She now lives in a cleaner, more prosperous and more stable Oriental capital, and she has already integrated into this place without knowing it.

On the other side, Chu Yun was talking with Li Jinde.

"I heard that my lord came back from the west, and I happened to be inspecting the rubber factory in Tianjin Wei, so I came here to ask for a visit." Li Jinde said awkwardly.

He didn't ask Chu Yun for anything this time, he just felt that he was grateful to Chu Yun for his kindness and the Fourth Fleet rescued him from the Barbary pirates, so he simply came here to ask for an interview.

Li Jinde didn't expect Chu Yun to meet him without any major incidents, but it seemed that Chu Yun still had a high opinion of his ability.

"Rubber factory? I remember that you have a rubber factory and three rubber plantations under the name of 'Li's Chemical Industry'." Chu Yun had seen all the companies registered with the Ministry of Industry before, and Li Jinde was one of the very few companies in the unfamiliar chemical industry. The folk businessman who worked hard, and Chu Yun knew him, so he was quite impressed with the "Li's Chemicals" he founded.

"Now there are 2 rubber factories and 5 rubber plantations, and they can produce rubber products every day, which is more than enough to supply the rubber demand of two or three provinces. The main reason is that the market demand for rubber products is not large. Few people can understand the benefits of rubber products. The largest purchaser of our Lishi Chemical is the government, especially the military needs waterproof materials, the Ministry of Industry needs insulating materials, rubber tires... The folks mainly need waterproof gloves, raincoats, and boots. "There is no need for Li Jinde to hide from Chu Yun.

There are 2 rubber factories and 5 natural rubber plantations. Chu Yun was slightly surprised when he heard that.There is something about this Li Jinde. After venturing to the west to gain fame for himself, he is more accepting of new things. He dares to rush into the chemical industry that is almost completely unfamiliar to traditional businessmen. This is simply the rhythm of becoming the king of the rubber industry.

Chu Yun knows that when the industry is still blank and many industries are explored by the government, it is also an opportunity for private businessmen to become rich.If you are deeply involved in any field, you may become a leader in that field.Compared with the traditional red ocean industries such as silk, tea, and porcelain, the fields of chemical industry, machinery, and modern finance are still an undeveloped blue ocean.

"There is also a dye factory. Our researchers synthesized a chemical dye called aniline violet, which may be the first synthetic dye. In the past, we used natural dyes such as indigo to dye cloth, but this time we synthesized chemical dyes. Compared with natural dyes, dyes have the advantages of bright color, washability, light fastness, and mass continuous production. Aniline violet cannot be dyed on cotton, but it can be used for silk and wool dyeing, and its color is more vivid than vegetable dyes. Even if it is washed in soapy water, it will not fade. We have applied to the Patent Office for a patent on the synthesis of aniline violet." Li Jinde talked about the development of Li's Chemicals, and talked about it with Chu Yun.

"Aniline purple..."

Chu Yun didn't expect that a private factory would take the lead in applying for the patent of artificial dyes. He didn't even need to use the system to start the artificial dye technology. With the emergence of aniline violet, various artificial dyes will be produced one after another. Appear.

It's unimaginable.

"Does your lord have any instructions?" Li Jinde asked.

"No, you are doing very well, as long as you don't monopolize and leak technology to the outside world."

Chu Yun thought that Li Jinde and other businessmen were making great strides in their own fields, and they might control the upper reaches of a certain industry. It is estimated that anti-monopoly laws will be promulgated in the future...
