One penny. Can such a thing be made with one penny?
Li Yuanxing's calculations came from Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao was based on industrialization and with the addition of complete sets of supporting machinery, it could cost one penny per piece. But Li Yuanxing did not tell these businessmen that it would take at least three years for the cost to reach one penny.
The first is the production and improvement of supporting machinery, then the utilization of water and animal power, and finally the management capabilities of industrial streamlined production lines. Therefore, with pure manual work and simple machinery, four cents is already a limit. You must know how to let a person
A craftsman can make a complete set, which costs thirteen coins a piece, and he still needs to be a skilled worker.
Li Er smiled and originally planned to visit the Brocade Silk Business Association that Li Yuanxing had worked so hard to support.
At this time, I gave up the idea.
If the Brocade Silk Merchant Association was like this Wanhuo Trading Company, using clever methods to increase output and reduce costs. If foreign envoys were informed, they would definitely raise objections to the shipping price of silk.
So Li Er decided not to go to the Brocade Silk Business Association.
But Li Er asked Eunuch Gao to send someone to the Brocade Silk Commercial Association and told them that he would personally inspect it in ten days and make them prepare. He thought that the foreign envoys should also go back after ten days.
Li Er thought about it and started to go out, but he saw that the envoys seemed to be attracted by something.
"What is that?" Li Er asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper stretched his head and took a look at what the store partner was introducing. He replied: "Back to you, that's a wool shear. There are eight workshops that have trial-produced eight different types of wool shears. There is no clear distinction yet."
, so they are all laid out for merchants to choose. In a few days, there will be a competition between these eight types of wool shearing at the Lianggong Platform at the west gate of Qinwangzhuang."
Li Er also walked over, and his companion was playing eloquently.
"This thing is called a hundred sheep shears. Even a novice can shear the wool of a hundred sheep in one hour." The companion was blowing, and the envoy was gesturing. It seemed to be really useful. The nobles on the grassland also
It’s not that they don’t work at all, at least they know how to shear sheep.
Li Er asked softly: "Are there really a hundred?"
"I would like to tell you that an experienced hand has tried it and sheared more than 170 sheep in one hour. However, his hands were sore and weak. This is absolutely impossible for a novice, but it is possible to shear forty or fifty sheep in one hour!
"At this point, the shopkeeper's face turned red: "Every store promotes its own goods, so naturally it's a bit exaggerated!"
Li Er smiled, he understood such things, shook his head and did not ask any more questions.
Li Yuanxing, on the other hand, had already sold out the wool shears before he even started buying wool. He was obviously going to do something big.
In fact, Li Er didn't know that as for wool, wool shears were only the first items. Later, there were hundreds of various tools, especially cashmere combing machines. Each one costs 700 guan, and he couldn't order it just like that.
Arrival. That machine requires a third-class master craftsman to lead the work, five fourth-class craftsmen to serve as assistants, and hundreds of fifth- and sixth-class craftsmen to work. It takes a month to produce one high-end machine. There is currently only one in Chang'an City.
Completely finished products, five semi-finished products, and dozens of machines in production.
Apart from the Qin Prince's Workshop, there are only seven aristocratic families and a few noble families capable of making this machine. The total number does not exceed twenty.
After Li Yuanxing brought a few more cashmere scarves from modern times, everyone who had the opportunity to see them knew very well that if one did not have these ultimate items in the wool business, one would be inferior to others.
Except for the Taiyuan Wang family and the two big aristocratic families in Luoyang, no other aristocratic family wants it.
The Wang family in Taiyuan had a coal business, which was already huge enough, so they gave up wool.
As for the two big aristocratic families in Luoyang, they had the foundation of fairy grain. They signed and pledged to ensure that Luoyang would become the granary of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, they were big grain merchants, so they were not involved in the wool business.
The rest, whether they are nobles from Shandong or Guanzhong, whoever is qualified would not want to join hands.
"Your Majesty, do you want to urge me?" Eunuch Gao asked in a low voice from the side. What he meant by urging was to urge the envoys. They have been asking about a Wanhuo Trading Company for half an hour. There are dozens of other trading firms here.
.
Li Er nodded slightly.
Eunuch Gao then signaled the people from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to urge them. The envoys from each country knew that they would be given time to come here again, so they felt a little reluctant to leave, but they left one by one, preparing to return to the carriage and go to Qin Wangzhuang.
go.
Li Yuanxing was dozing on a recliner under a tree when the old wolf rushed over: "Your Highness, Your Highness, your Majesty's guard of honor is five miles away." Li Yuanxing opened his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky. It was already heading west.
."It's past noon?"
"It's over a long time ago!" Lao Lang helped Li Yuanxing stand up.
Li Yuanxing was waiting at the two-lit pavilion outside Qin Wangzhuang, watching Li Er's guard of honor approach from a distance. But Li Yuanxing was kept waiting for a full twenty minutes.
Li Er was really shocked when he saw Li Yuanxing. He still had a little bit of King Qin's style here and there.
But Li Er really felt that Li Yuanxing's outfit was full of heroic spirit, far more indescribable than the complicated Qin Dynasty uniform, especially the one hand holding the waist knife, which was hanging on the belt.
He has the demeanor of a king.
Without giving Li Er or the censors a chance to speak, Li Yuanxing stepped forward and saluted and said first, "My brother is at fault. I brought my own torture tools to show my self-blame." Li Yuanxing tugged on the necklace around his neck.
Then he continued: "The torture instruments alone are not enough. I thought I should make up for it, so I wore some light clothes and did more work!"
Li Er smiled, thinking that you can work, but I don't believe it.
However, Li Er absolutely believed that Li Yuanxing would direct others to work.
Next, Li Yuanxing should have got into Li Er's car, and then entered Qinwangzhuang together. This was considered a welcome. But something unexpected happened, and the Turkic Turkic Khan stood up: "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
His Highness, King Qin, has made outstanding achievements and deserves a heavy reward, but I don’t know what kind of mistakes can overshadow his achievements!”
Li Er was stunned, how to answer this.
Not to mention Li Er, even the civil officials who impeached Li Yuanxing didn't know how to answer.
There is no distinction between rewards and punishments. If word of this spreads out, where is the Tang Dynasty and where is the dignity of the Tang Dynasty? They only focused on impeaching Li Yuanxing, but they forgot about Li Yuanxing's great victory over the Turks.
Li Yuanxing laughed out loud: "Little Khan Tuli, thank you for speaking up for me. It's just that merit is merit and fault is fault. I made some small mistakes, so I have to punish them." When he said this, Li Yuanxing suddenly felt something in his heart.
He came up with a bad idea and said to Liu Zhenghui, who was the most vicious in his impeachment: "For a small merit, the emperor will give me a fiefdom of two hundred miles north of the Jinghe River. For a small mistake, the emperor will ground me for three months and give me a small salary."
Naturally, merit is rewarded and deeds are punished!”
"In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, merits are rewarded and demerits are punished. Princes and common people are equally guilty! Liu Shangshu, do you think this is clear?"
Liu Zhenghui, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if Li Yuanxing was removed from his actual post without mentioning a word, leaving only a false post as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in terms of his character and morality, he hated Li Yuanxing very much. Especially when Li Yuanxing killed
Liang Shidu, in his eyes, that is not the behavior of a gentleman, and it is not the behavior of a benevolent person.
What's more, Li Yuanxing slaughtered the entire family of Wang Junlang of Daizhou, as well as dozens of close officials. He killed hundreds of people. This was cruelty and not shameful in Confucian ethics.
But at this time, Liu Zhenghui could not agree with Li Yuanxing's words.
"What His Highness the King of Qin said is absolutely true. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, merit is rewarded and demerits are punished!"
Li Er was the only one who smiled and said nothing. He knew that Li Yuanxing wanted Yaozhou, but he didn't expect that Li Yuanxing would take action now. You, Li Yuanxing, want it, even if you want it, you can just drive the few idle princes and dukes there to a remote place.
Wherever you go, out of sight and out of mind.
Naturally, people behind you cannot hear what the people in front are saying. No one will dare to spread what is said here.
"Wu Lang, enter the village!" Li Er waved his hand, and the matter was over.
When they entered the village, Wu Zhao was actually inside the village gate, and the person carrying her was not Su An, but another guard. The guard had a pergola made on his back, with chairs and a special place for placing gadgets.
.
"Girl Mingyue, why don't you come to pick me up!" Li Er said with a smile.
Wu Zhao quickly crawled into Li Yuanxing's ear and said a few words, then bowed and stepped aside. Wu Zhao would not speak easily when outsiders were around.
Li Yuanxing turned around and said, "Brother Emperor, there is a gift that Brother Emperor will definitely like."
"Really?" Li Er became interested because he saw a kind of cunning in Li Yuanxing's eyes, but Li Yuanxing's eyes were pointed at the envoys on the grassland. Very good, if Li Yuanxing didn't give the envoys on the grassland a show of strength here,
Then he is not my fifth brother.
"Borrow the Emperor's Brother to lend you five hundred forbidden troops!"
"Yes!" Li Er waved his hand. He was also looking forward to it. What would he see?
West martial arts field! The honor guard was naturally sent to the place where they should go. Everyone who can come here has an identity. Li Er stood on the high platform, with Li Jing on one side and the Huihe Khan on the other. To both sides,
They are King Jishan of the Ministry of Rites and Little Khan Tuli.
"Prepare the crossbow!" Li Yuanxing gave the order, and naturally there were messengers to pass the order on.
At this time, ten figures on horseback appeared, all covered with gray linen. Li Yuanxing ordered again: "Five hundred horses, crossbow shooting." King Qin ordered, who dared to hesitate at all, this is the school ground. King Qin's order is a military order, and it will
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty showed their extremely high quality and without hesitation, five hundred crossbow arrows were fired at the ten horsemen.
Li Er didn't understand, but he believed that Li Yuanxing wouldn't do anything random.
But I saw the ten horsemen holding the horses' heads, motionless in the face of five hundred crossbow arrows!
In an instant, five hundred crossbow arrows arrived. This was only a distance of two hundred steps. Five hundred crossbow arrows shot ten people. Even Qin Qiong was heartbroken. He asked himself, even if these ten people are higher than him,
Even martial arts cannot defeat these five hundred crossbow arrows!
Not only Qin Qiong, but everyone's hearts were lifted.
"Five hundred cavalry, three consecutive shots!" Li Yuanxing ordered again, and the orders of the messengers were passed on. The five hundred forbidden troops are all selected from thousands of people. Even if there are slow ones in hand, they will not be too slow. Just a few breaths
Two more shots were fired in between. When the last wave of crossbow arrows was fired, the first wave of arrows was still flying in the air.
The ten knights remained motionless.
The envoys from the grassland did not understand. Is this considered a martial arts performance? Could it be that shooting ten people who did not resist was a martial arts performance by the King of Qin? No! From the perspective of the behavior of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, this matter must be strange. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
