Chapter 262: The Birth of the Textile Industry
Realizing that the empire needs a stronger economy, Lin Yuer turns her attention to textiles, envisioning her people producing high-quality fabrics that could be traded with other regions. She introduces new dyes and weaving techniques, teaching her people to create intricate patterns that appeal to the tastes of nobles and foreign merchants alike. The development of local textile factories provides jobs and boosts the economy, allowing even the poorest families to earn a steady income.
As her textile industry grows, Lin Yuer introduces silk production, a luxury item that quickly becomes one of the empire's most valuable exports. To protect this new industry, she establishes training workshops where her people can learn and refine their craft. The silk industry flourishes under her guidance, and her empire becomes known as a center of luxurious textiles.
