This waterwheel textile machine actually meets Li Er's expectations.
Because the efficiency is really great!
It's the same silk weaving, with the same output, but the labor required for this thing is only a fraction of that of previous textile machines.
This feeling is simply wonderful, because the average silk production per person is several times higher than in the past.
How could Li Er not be happy with such a big improvement?
But problems also arise, and so does the textile machine.
After all, it was not done simply to produce more cotton, but because Datang needed to attract merchants to North America.
According to Li Sheng's prediction, that place has thousands of hectares of fertile land - not tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but the entire continent, which is almost the same size as China, is all flat and fertile fertile land!
If we want to grow grain in this place, I'm afraid it will attract enough people to cultivate it. Of course, in the long run, it will definitely attract people to go there. After all, who doesn't want fertile land that is basically free? But right now, that place is, after all,
Thousands of miles apart.
Separated by thousands of miles of ocean, there are many waves that are difficult for maritime merchants to cross. How can farmers with less financial ability, courage and experience have the same conditions? In other words, there still has to be a bridgehead, but this matter.
I built this hydraulic textile machine, but it didn't have much obvious effect.
After some investigation, Li Er found out that although there were fertile fields in America that could produce cotton, and the imperial court was now providing hydraulic spinning machines at low prices,...
There are two different things between having fertile land that can produce cotton and cotton already existing!
There is potential, but this potential has not yet been realized, and without cotton, no matter how powerful the textile machine is, it will be useless.
Because there were not many merchants going there, farmers in China did not dare to easily keep up. And because there were no farmers to immigrate, cotton production was not good.
This whole logical loop is closed.
As soon as Li Er said it, the following confidantes immediately fell silent.
This information either fell from the sky to Li Er, or they personally investigated it and reported it to Li Er - and the reason why this issue is now being brought up by the emperor in the Manna Palace is because in fact they did not think about it.
Can you come up with any good ideas?
So when Li Er finished explaining the two things, the atmosphere in the Manlu Hall naturally became awkward.
After Li Er finished speaking, he felt a little melancholy.
It's not easy to expand territory.
It's not easy to be the emperor of Qin and the emperor of Han Dynasty.
But after waiting for a while, I saw that these ministers still lowered their heads and said nothing, and my mood changed from melancholy to angry.
Damn it, it’s just that “there’s really no plan in mind”??
Both Li were almost stupid!
I took a picture of the case on the spot and bang!
"What are you doing? You are all talking!"
"I asked you to come to this temple to stand and bask in the sun? You have to go out and bask in the sun for me!"
Li Er felt unhappy for a while and felt angry for no reason.
Naturally, the faces of several close ministers became embarrassed. At this time, Wei Zheng blushed, but he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this is a long-term plan and cannot be taken lightly. Besides, it is getting late now."
"It's getting late?"
Li Er's face darkened again, "Want to sleep?"
"If you want to sleep, just go back and sleep with me. You don't have to come to court tomorrow!"
Although.
Several ministers, including Wei Zheng of course, knew that what Li Er said was angry, but Jun Wu was right. If these words were spread by the eunuchs and maids, he might be forced to retire.
Of course, Li Er didn't want anyone to throw up their clothes and retire, but he was really angry because there was actually no clue about this matter.
Whether it is Roman affairs or American affairs, they are completely unfamiliar to the small world of China and are purely new things.
It is of course not easy to deal with new things, avoid their dangers, and obtain their benefits, and I don’t know how much effort it takes.
But this whole thing.
Li Sheng has already pointed out the direction for everyone before!
It is not easy for anyone to start a new field. Even if you have never ridden a horse before, you will have to make many mistakes if you want to learn to ride a horse.
And if children are to be introduced to school, it will be even more difficult, and they will have to endure countless rulers.
Now the Tang Dynasty has to conquer a complete continent and defeat a powerful opponent that is comparable in size to China.
At this time, someone can point the way. You can imagine how difficult it is!
After Li Er finished speaking, his face became even more ugly.
Because Li Sheng not only pointed out the strategic direction and the key to breaking the situation, but also came up with things that allowed Datang to complete the "start".
As a result, the effect was not satisfactory, and these unscrupulous people actually stopped their efforts.
Then the problem comes.
Li Er only has one problem.
What’s the point of raising you?
Stared at the emperor's face, several ministers gradually lost their composure.
This is simply,
To say that they relied on Li Sheng for everything before, Wei Zhengfang, Du and the others were actually in a good mood, because Li Sheng came up with something new or pointed out strategies.
Although its sophistication and efficiency are far beyond the level of these brothers, but!
At least, this is not what everyone is specifically asking for. Well, at least they are not explicitly asking Li Sheng for advice.
But this time things were different. Li Sheng gave everyone advice on how to open up the border and even brought out real things to help. However, after everyone discussed this, they decided to let Li Er use his imperial power to summon Li Sheng to ask.
As a result, the direction was pointed out, and useful equipment was provided. However, the result is that the efficiency is slow during the process.
He was actually helpless.
this.
Isn’t this the legendary “I can’t even mess around”?
This is so embarrassing!
This even made Wei Zhengfang, Du and others a bit stunned.
A horse-riding person, when he was in Wagang Village, he thought that everything was no big deal in front of him, and he could handle it casually with his clever calculations.
Why now, when Li Sheng appears, everyone becomes a bastard?
Li Er angrily glared at his confidants for a while.
Then his face softened.
But this was not because Li Er's temper suddenly changed, or because there was some special reason, he suddenly came up with a plan or something, but because Li Er suddenly realized that he seemed to have changed.
Back then, when he was traveling across the north and south, under his father's command, he defeated most of the powerful enemies in China - but now he has turned into a lazy dog.
Li Er didn't want to scold anyone anymore. What's the use of scolding these ministers? He didn't seem to be getting stronger.
Think about it.
Li Er suddenly felt that he had to cheer up!
Thinking this, he looked at Wei Zheng.
"Xuancheng, cough." Before Li could say anything, he coughed lightly. This action made Wei Zheng feel a little confused while he bowed his hands.
Now, is there anything embarrassing for Your Majesty to do when talking to ministers?
