Wang De didn't dare to slack off, and gave Li Shimin a brand new toilet chip, and then waited respectfully outside.

He was going to wait for Li Shimin's sparse passage to end before reporting that Tiangongfang had come up with pesticides that could kill locusts.

A few minutes later, Li Shimin held the toilet chip, his face trembling slightly.

As we all know, the essence of the toilet chip is a thin piece of bamboo that has been washed!

In just half a day, Li Shimin has this thing more than ten times!

is so sour, it is conceivable that Li Shimin can't do it at all now with a toilet chip.

In the end, Li Shimin's heart was crossed and he scraped it decisively......

"Shhh...... Whew......"

Li Shimin couldn't help it and made a strange sound.

But considering that there was an old eunuch waiting outside the thatched house, Li Shimin forcibly held back after making a sound.

A minute later, Li Shimin tidied up his clothes and walked out of the hut with trembling legs and feet.

"Tell me, what?"

After fourteen times of dilution, Li Shimin has now eased up a lot, he adjusted his mentality, began to ask Wang De, and prepared to deal with business.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Workshop is selling a medicine called Trichlorfon, which is said to kill locusts and alleviate the situation of the locust plague, and now those officials who have been punished by Your Majesty to help the people resist the locust plague have bought some of this medicine."

Wang De explained the situation in Chang'an City to Li Shimin, and kept looking at Li Shimin's face while speaking.

Now Li Shimin's face is faintly bloody, and there is still a hint of blood in the fiasco, so it seems that there should be no risk of death.

"Heavenly Workshop? Trichlorfon? Defending against locust plagues? ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly.

Although he, as the emperor, was very surprised by the appearance of the trichlorode, why couldn't it appear earlier?

If he had appeared one day earlier, why would he have eaten the locusts raw? And as soon as he eats it, it's a handful, so that now he is about to die.

"Issue a notice to explain the role of the trichlorfon insect in the workshop tomorrow, and quickly control the locust plague, I, go again!"

Li Shimin just said a few words, but there was another cramp in his lower abdomen, and he entered the thatched house again and began to dilute.

……

A few days later, thanks to a notice from the imperial court, the effect of the Tiangongfang Dichlorogram on the locust plague soon spread throughout the Gyeonggi region.

For a time, a large number of officials who had the task of controlling the locust plague and the people who farmed their own fields poured into the Tiangongfang.

Fortunately, Li Yan was lucky in the past two days, dug up a sufficient amount of phosphate rock, and extracted a full hundred bags of trichlorfon, which prevented the supply chain from collapsing, and basically those who needed it bought trichlorfon.

What makes Li Yan the most happy is not actually the sales of trichlorfon, but the most surprising thing now is that due to the cheap price of trichlorfon, Tiangongfang has invisibly gained considerable prestige and accumulated considerable credit.

In just a few days, dozens of businessmen from the Gyeonggi area arrived at Cheongongfang to inquire about and order hand-cranked looms and water-powered looms.

It is precisely because the popularity of machine production has increased again that the progress bar of Li Yan's achievement task in the first industrial revolution has risen again, to 25 percent, and he has successfully obtained 25 achievement points.

Next, if you want the progress bar to grow again, you either have to launch a heavyweight industrial machine like a steam engine, or you have to stimulate the economic growth of Datang again, so that the market share of machine production has been significantly improved.

Of course, neither of the above two methods can be completed in a short period of time, and both can be accumulated over a certain period of time.

It's just that Li Yan didn't wait for the next progress bar to grow, but first waited for a holy decree.

Li Shimin even ordered a reward again!

"Under the door: Li Yan, the prince of Wannian County, made the pesticide trichlorfon insect to the community, which reduced the locust loss in Gyeonggi by more than eighty percent, Nian Er was worried about the Tang Dynasty, and sold this medicine cheaply, so he was rewarded with 10,000 ......dollars."

What does it mean for a man to sit at home and be rewarded from heaven? That's it!

"What a reward! If I reward too much now, what will I do in the future? If I make any big moves in the future, and I can't reward it, wouldn't something big happen? ”

Li Yan was not as surprised as Li Shimin imagined, but he was quite distressed.

For Li Yan, the holy decree of this reward simply added to his troubles, and the whole person was very irritable.

"That's it, fortunately, this time it's just a reward, otherwise something would really have happened."

Li Yan forcibly calmed down his boredom, and casually threw the holy decree into the storage box in the house.

Now there are a lot of holy decrees lying in this simple storage box, for these holy decrees, Li Yan can be said to be disgusted and disgusted, only hating why he didn't restrain himself in the first place, so that the title rose so fast.

After complaining casually for a while, Li Yan sorted out his clothes, prepared to go out, and went to the Tiangong Academy as usual to guide the thirty craftsmen to make steam engines.

On the way to Tiangongyuan, a group of exotic people in Chang'an West City who were dressed incompatible with Tang people attracted Li Yan's attention.

They were all merchants from the Western Regions who arrived in the Tang Dynasty from the Silk Road, and they would go to Chang'an every day at this time to do some trading.

Behind them are often caravans of considerable size, and every time they travel, there are tens of thousands of accounts flowing down.

"How can you forget about foreign trade, if you let those textile mills hand over to the merchants of the Western Regions, it must also stimulate the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and maybe the progress of the task will rise to 30% at that time."

Li Yan muttered to himself.

He did have a certain misunderstanding about the economic development of Datang before.

According to Li Yan's original plan, Datang's industrial development speed will always be ahead of economic development.

This is entirely about using advanced production technology to forcibly drive economic growth, rather than the two complementing each other.

The most direct factor leading to this situation is the constancy of Datang's internal wealth.

Money doesn't come out of nowhere!

The fundamental reason why Datang's economy will show explosive growth in the short term is actually the advanced machine production technology provided by Li Yan to speed up the circulation of wealth, which presents a short-term economic prosperity.

Next, if Li Yan does not give Datang time for further economic growth and throws out more industrial products, it will inevitably lead to a situation where economic growth is difficult to support industrial development.

To put it simply, that is, if Datang wants to develop better, it must expand the market and expand the basic plate of the economy.

Let the wealth of the entire Western Regions converge towards Datang, and support Datang's industrial development with the wealth of the world.

This is also the path of economic plunder taken by the countries that carried out the industrial revolution in the West in the original historical trend.

"Meet the caravan."

Li Yan temporarily stopped his steps towards the Tiangong Academy, and turned to the group of merchants from the Western Regions.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

As soon as Li Yan walked to the stall of a merchant from the Western Regions, the merchant spoke fluent Han language and communicated with Li Yan.

"I'm the person who spoke from the Tiangongfang, Li Yan, the county magistrate of Wannian County, and I want to make a deal with you."

Li Yan was not polite, and directly said his intentions.

"Heavenly Workshop? Wannian County Princess? Li Yan??! ”

Hearing Li Yan's words, the Western Regions merchant was obviously stunned, but when he heard Li Yan's words, his expression obviously changed.

It turned out that Li Yan's fame had not only spread on the grasslands, but also spread to further afield through the Silk Road.

Even in some countries that advocate individual force, Li Yan's name in the Tang Dynasty is even louder than that of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the big merchants!"

There was a hint of admiration and fear in the tone of the Western Regions merchant, and he didn't even care about the small stall he had set up for the time being, turned his head and ran towards the parking place of the caravan's carriage.

A few minutes later, the merchant led a person that Li Yan felt a little familiar with.

"Envoy Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and now goodbye, you are really still extraordinary!"

As soon as the visitor saw Li Yan, he began to pat himself on the back, and when Li Yan heard this person's name for himself, he finally remembered this person's identity.

This is Armin, a merchant from the Western Regions, the first caravan owner to return to Toyosu with cattle and sheep after the opening of the Toyoshu-Turkic trade route!

In Li Yan's impression, Armin's caravan should be a small and medium-sized caravan with a cargo scale of only a few thousand, and no more than 10,000 yuan, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and his caravan had reached the current scale.

Judging from the number of goods, manpower, and carriages nearby, this is obviously a large caravan with a scale of more than 80,000 yuan.

"Arming Dashang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Thinking that Alming sent a lot of cattle and sheep to Fengzhou last year, Li Yan's attitude towards him was very polite.

When Alming saw Li Yan call out his name as soon as he said a word, he was immediately a little happy.

"Envoy Li ...... No, Li Xiangong, what commodities do you have to trade? ”

Almin's eyes seem to be glowing!

When he was in Fengzhou, he only exchanged thousands of cattle and sheep for an extremely delicate glass cup, and he made a lot of money in that transaction!

After returning to the West with the glass cup, he did not choose to sell it, but gave it as a gift to the royal family in his country.

Gifts were not given for nothing, and after Armin's gift, his caravan was quickly supported, and even received an injection of royal funds.

It is no exaggeration to say that the caravan that Almin now controls already has a strong political background, so much so that he now walks on the Silk Road with his head held high and lives up to his previous promises.

"I do have a deal to do......"

Li Yan is still very dead to the nature of the businessman, he doesn't need to have any amazing eloquence, he just needs to show considerable benefits, and the businessman will take the initiative to stick it himself, and he can't get rid of it.

After Li Yan thoroughly explained his intentions, Alming really took the bait in an instant, and he couldn't wait to have a meeting with the group of textile owners in Chang'an now.

After coming to the Tang Dynasty, the merchants of the Western Regions had only two goals, one was to dump their own goods, and the other was to purchase high-quality silk, cloth, porcelain and other items from the Tang Dynasty and return to the Western Regions.

And now that there is a heavenly workshop to thread the needle and thread in it, it will inevitably further expand the supply channels of the caravan, which only has a thousand benefits, and there are no drawbacks, and Armin will naturally not let it go.

In this way, after the two sides finalized, Li Yan immediately went to Tiangongfang and sent people to contact the textile mills, while Almin kept the agreement with Li Yan and went to contact other large caravans.

Both sides were mutually beneficial, and they acted quite quickly.

"Dashang, isn't he a devil who kills people without blinking? How can you do business with us? ”

Beside Almin, his assistant was very puzzled, in his thinking, Li Yan should not be this image.

"The devil? Hehe, he may be the devil in the battlefield, but he is the true god who can bring us wealth when trading. ”

Arming shook his head, when he led the caravan to walk on the Silk Road, he had also heard of Li Yan's name of killing gods, but because of the incident in Fengzhou at the beginning, he was very sure that Li Yan must be a god of wealth who could bring wealth!

……

Li Yanjing, who abandoned the thirty craftsmen in the Tiangong Academy, came to the Tiangongfang by himself, and it was obvious that in Li Yan's heart, it was much easier to push the progress bar of the achievement task to 30% through the economy than to push it through a steam engine.

Li Yan called the people in the Tiangong Workshop, and soon found all the textile mill owners near Chang'an through the information on ordering the machine.

When this group of small bosses who ate the first batch of crabs heard that Li Yan wanted to see them, they did not hesitate at all, and decisively went to the Tiangongfang.

"Remember, tomorrow when you meet with the merchants of the Western Regions, you must set the price......

"Although your costs are now reduced, ......"

Li Yan began to brainwash this group of small bosses, and even explained the relationship between value, price, labor time, and supply and demand.

But to sum up, Li Yan's brainwashing has only one theme, that is, "The Tang people's money can be earned less, and the money of the people in the Western Regions can be earned!" ”

"We will take it to heart!"

A group of small bosses did not have the slightest doubt about Li Yanxiang's convincing.

……

On the second day, the tripartite talks organized by Li Yan began.

This group of merchants from the Western Regions still had a sense of the past about the Tang Dynasty goods, and knew that the cost of these textiles had changed dramatically due to the advent of handlooms.

In this way, with the advantage of poor information, several large caravans directly signed supply agreements with the textile mill, and the contract made on this day alone had more than 100,000 runs......

According to later accounts, the contracts concluded at this meeting were also known as the Chang'an Agreement, which was the beginning of the rapid loss of wealth from the West to the East, and also the landmark agreement that the Tang Industrial Revolution entered into rapid development.

Of course, behind all this, Li Yan has obtained unknown benefits, and the most direct thing is that at the moment when the contract is set, the progress bar of the achievement task has bounced to 30%!

"Congratulations on completing the Special Advancement Achievement Mission: Industrial Revolution Mod: Start the Industrial Revolution Today (30%)"

"Congratulations on earning 30 achievement points"

"Congratulations on earning 30 Achievement XP"

"Current Achievement Points: 109"

"The current achievement level achievement level has been upgraded!

Li Yan entered the mod store as soon as possible and began to check the mods that could be unlocked through level 2 achievements.
