Li Yuanxing did not sit down, but first came to Changsun Wuji: "Master Changsun, I have a question. As early as the Sui Dynasty, the Turks had made huge breakthroughs in the art of raising sheep. The Turks were known as the smallest tribe.
There are millions of sheep. So, how do they use the wool?”
"Every spring, sheep are sheared, which can be made into felt! But a very small amount is made into felt! The rest is thrown away. There are also times when sheep are set on fire on the grassland, because too many sheep will occupy a large area of grassland. They have few iron tools and are too lazy to go there.
Dig a deep pit and bury it." At this point, Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't say that the Turks are worried about the huge amount of wool, even the humble minister is the same. The humble minister only has tens of thousands of sheep!
"
This answer is the same as what Li Yuanxing consulted in modern times.
The utilization rate of wool in the Tang Dynasty was so low that it could be said that it was treated as waste. Even if some felt was used, the usable amount was extremely small. For the massive amount of wool, it was the ratio of hundreds of cows to one hair.
Li Yuanxing opened the fourth wooden box, took out a cloth bag from it and walked to Li Er: "Brother Emperor, this is a gift for my sister-in-law. There are only four pieces."
We talk about gifts at this time, and we talk about gifts when we talk about national affairs.
Li Yuanxing definitely couldn't be dizzy, there must be a reason. Li Er took out a sky blue cashmere sweater from his bag. He fell in love with it after just one glance. It was soft, luxurious, and most importantly, very light.
A piece of clothing that makes people feel very warm.
"Ten pounds of wool from a sheep, of which one-tenth is fine wool, and one-hundredth is cashmere, which is as valuable as gold. This piece of clothing requires about one pound and three taels of cashmere. When the craftsmanship reached its peak, that is, what is it now?
The price of a dou of rice." Li Yuanxing took out another item and introduced it.
The few buckets of rice Li Yuanxing calculated were naturally based on modern prices. After large-scale industrialization, an ordinary cashmere sweater only cost a few hundred yuan, a good one cost thousands, and a famous brand one only cost a few thousand yuan. According to the price of rice at that time, it was naturally
The price of a few buckets of rice.
But Li Er laughed: "Wu Lang is talking nonsense, the market value of this dress is at least three to five thousand yuan. Come and take a look."
After seeing it, all the ministers said that if they didn't explain how the clothes were made, ten strings would not be expensive.
"Twenty sheep bodies are just the best." Li Yuanxing said with emotion, and then took out a cloth bag from the box and took out a pair of trousers. In front of all the ministers, he put his own
After taking off only a pair of shorts, he put on the trousers.
"It's a little hot, but I like these pants. In terms of price, two pairs of cashmere sweaters are worth as much as one!" After that, he tied the belt and took out a pair of soft-soled leather shoes: "Sheepskin, I like this kind of soft
Bottom, run fast!"
After saying that, he put the bag on the ground for all the ministers to see.
"This fabric!" The ministers didn't know how to describe it. In short, it felt better than any cloth they had ever seen. Unlike silk, this kind of fabric was definitely a good thing in winter.
"Wool from a few sheep, but the craftsmanship is complicated." Li Yuanxing introduced.
Li Er seemed to understand what Li Yuanxing meant. Since the wool could be used, it would be a huge treasure. But he still didn't understand what Li Yuanxing meant by the sheep eating people.
What Li Yuanxing took out again was a sweater, the most common sweater. One piece weighed five or six kilograms, and it was meant for winter wear.
"This is the cheapest thing. Poor people don't even wear it anymore." Li Yuanxing's evaluation is naturally based on modern standards. No one really wears ordinary sweaters anymore, and at least the ones sold on the market are worsted.
, and then the wool sweater is finely woven by machine.
Li Yuanxing only bought a few of these inferior sweaters in remote towns.
"Not to mention three thousand palace maids, even three hundred thousand palace maids are not enough." After hearing Li Yuanxing start to talk about the plan, the ministers put down their things, and Li Yuanxing also took off his pants, wearing only one
Standing in the hall wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, he began to talk about his plan.
"I will purchase wool from the Turks. Of course, I will give these Turk soldiers a lesson first. A pound of wool costs two cents..." As soon as Li Yuanxing said this, Tang Jian shouted: "No!"
Li Yuanxing originally wanted to say that two cents per pound of wool was much cheaper than modern ones.
But he didn't expect that Tang Jian would deny it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Jian stood up and bowed to Li Er and Li Yuanxing. After all, he interrupted Li Yuanxing's speech. Then he walked to Changsun Fox and said, "Master Changsun, I want to buy your wool, please bid!"
"I'll pay you ten cents for a car!" Changsun Wuji finished speaking and looked at Li Yuanxing with a smile.
Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, but he was happy in his heart. It turned out that Ye Qiu Shuang also made calculation errors sometimes. According to Ye Qiu Shuang's calculation, two cents per pound of wool could be worth seven or eight cents after processing, which was already a huge profit.
"No, you have to pay for it!" Li Yuanxing understood that if he didn't pay, the subsequent plan would not exist at all.
"Then let's calculate the freight!" Tang Jian proposed a plan.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" Li Yuanxing didn't want to calculate anymore. Calculation was not something he was good at.
After the four adults made reasonable, detailed and well-founded calculations: "One sheep's wool costs one penny. This is already an extremely high price. It will cost half a penny or even a penny to transport it back to Chang'an."
Money. It depends on the condition of the roads. The price must be the price of dry wool!"
One penny and ten pounds!
So cruel!
"Okay, that's the price. A hundred times the profit, this is too much money!" Li Yuanxing complained.
Changsun Wuji smiled: "The King of Qin thinks that he earns too much, so he might as well give me the Changsun family!"
Changsun Wuji was just joking, but Li Yuanxing shook his head seriously: "No, Changsun's family wants to start another business. Let's arrange another business for this business!"
Seeing Li Yuanxing's serious expression, all the officials were stunned.
"Okay, let's continue." Li Yuanxing picked up a pair of trousers: "We will calculate how much a piece of fabric like this costs later. Anyway, it must be sold back to the Turks, and the wool money will still be earned. In fact, I originally planned
When I was two-literate, I was already earning a lot.”
After saying that, Li Yuanxing put down his pants: "In this battle, beat the Turks painfully and hard. Then I will buy wool. When spring starts tomorrow, I will buy the wool of 10 million sheep. Of course, you adults can help calculate this number.
For a moment, don't think about whether this king is enough, just think about how much wool the **, Uighur, Guligan, Tongluo, and other tribes will fight for. Anyway, I will collect so much. That's all
A mere hundred thousand guan is really not much!"
"Give the wild dogs a bone, and then the bone will be attractive." Li Er gave a high-five: "Okay, it's really a clever trick. If you don't fight without a bloody battle, there will be civil strife."
It is impossible to come up with detailed calculations at the moment, but the elites of the Tang Dynasty will definitely come up with a very perfect number.
"Then, it depends on how our wool processing is going. If it's not going well, we'll keep it as it is. We'll pick them to fight among themselves for the share of wool sold to Datang. If it's going well, we'll have an unlimited supply.
Procurement, in a word, buy as much as you can, and if you sell more, we can exchange them with the items they urgently need. In this case, they will go to war for pasture. Whoever has more pasture will have more sheep. Of course, robbing sheep
It’s also normal.”
Li Yuanxing's words had already made the important ministers in the hall look at each other. They seemed to have seen the image of rivers of blood on the grassland, the endless battles, and the bloody battles between countless small tribes.
"Who said sheep can't eat people!" Li Yuanxing smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Of course, this new type of cloth will also be sold to foreign countries, and the profit will not be less than that of silk! Money is a good thing. With money, the farmers of the Tang Dynasty will be exempted from agricultural taxes, and then they will have more babies.
The population of the Tang Dynasty has also increased. The sergeants have become more elite, which is really wonderful!"
Li Yuanxing's theory that sheep cannibalize humans has not yet made the ministers come to their senses.
Another sentence about agricultural tax exemption came, and Li Er was so shocked that he jumped up on the spot.
Yu Shinan, who was seventy years old, actually stood up and bowed to Li Yuanxing: "The King of Qin is kind, his poem about pity for farmers is already a great talent, and his talk about agricultural tax is even more of a great virtue!"
"Ah, what I mean to say is that within a few decades, agricultural taxes will be inevitable. This is a matter between my imperial brother and you!"
Li Er didn't pick up the topic at all. An emperor who could exempt agricultural taxes must spread it through the ages. This is a great virtue in the world. He didn't expect it to be implemented within a few years, so he continued to ask: "Wu Lang will talk about slavery again!"
"This is easier. They fight back and forth, and if more people die, people will naturally ask for help from Datang. When the time comes, Brother Yao will send out his army. There are many benefits to sending troops, and the money that should be collected must be collected. Then we
The Tang Dynasty has gone to mediate conflicts, so of course there are troops stationed on the grassland, so they don't need to fight, and naturally the army will be of little use."
Li Yuanxing's smile was natural, with a hint of pride.
"The more wool you sell, the more money you make, so you naturally need to enjoy life."
To be honest, the ministers didn’t quite understand this sentence!
"Poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music. The Confucian scholars needed students to teach them how to read and how to live. They could also have the prosperous life of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Slowly, they became Tang people. Of course, about this
One thing, I have a more far-reaching plan, and it is not easy to become a Tang Dynasty person!"
Being a teacher and spreading Confucianism is the dream of countless great Confucians.
Even Yu Shinan is the same.
"What happens when a nation has no writing, no culture, no history, and no faith?"
All the civil servants and generals stood up.
At this time, Li Yuanxing said word for word: "In a few years, they will be no different from the Han people of the Tang Dynasty, except that their names will still have a Turkic label that has no meaning!"
The scorching heat of summer had disappeared at this time, and a biting cold feeling filled the originally hot hall. The sultry heat in the air was no longer there, the fire in my heart had faded away, and all that was left was the biting cold.
When the greatest emperor of the Tang Dynasty glanced at the ministers, he could feel that these ministers were as shocked as himself.
This is no longer a power that iron and blood can prove.
A nation can disappear in this way. Li Yuanxing is right. Killing people does not necessarily require a knife.
