Chapter 11: Selling Things to Li Shimin
The imperial study was so quiet that the needles could be heard, except for the rustle of Fang Ce's pen.
Fang Ce held Li Shimin's pen in his hand and drew a picture on a piece of paper.
Looking at Fang Ce's words, Li Shimin didn't understand at all.
What the hell is this painting?
I don't understand it at all.
It looks like a stove, but it's different.
Drop the pen!
Fang Ce pointed to the things he had drawn and said to Li Shimin: "If the furnace is built higher, the temperature can be controlled a little, so that it is easy to make hundreds of steel, why don't you know such a simple thing?" ”
Fang Ce's expression must hate iron not steel, and hate iron not steel.
"This is my fourth thing, is it worth 10,000? Of course, this 10,000 guan, you don't need Your Majesty to give it, just let Zhao Guogong give it, he monopolizes the iron industry of Datang, and he has money, you can sell this idea to Zhao Guogong for 20,000 guan, let's open it five-five, how about it? ”
Li Shimin looked at Fang Ce, he couldn't see any expression on his face, but he still nodded, and then asked, "What is this fifth thing?" ”
Li Shimin looked at a crooked thing next to the blast furnace, and couldn't tell what it was at all.
"This thing is for horses, the service life of war horses is very short, the reason is that after the horseshoe wears out, the war horse loses its effect, my thing, is to put shoes on the horse, this thing, nailed to the horse's shoes, the horse does not directly touch the ground, the wear is always this piece of iron, and when this piece of iron is worn out, change a horseshoe, then it's okay."
Li Shimin looked at the horseshoe, listened to Fang Ce's story, and nodded: "This is worth 10,000 yuan!" ”
Li Shimin didn't brag, the value of a war horse was about fifty yuan, and after the horseshoe wore out, it was directly useless.
This one horseshoe is enough to extend the battlefield life of the war horse, and in this way, the money saved is definitely more than 10,000.
"These two things, for 20,000 yuan, I admit it."
Li Shimin nodded and agreed to the deal of 20,000 yuan.
"Let's start with the other three things that are worth a lot."
Li Shimin waved his hand, ready to let Fang Ce continue to say something else, something worth ten thousand yuan, it really wasn't blown out, if Zhenguan plough was sold to him.
Then he is also willing to pay 10,000.
Wait, what is he asking for so much money for?
Li Shimin was suddenly a little curious, why did he want 50,000?
I can't figure it out.
"The three things I have left are worth far more than the previous two, 30,000 yuan is worth a lot of money, as long as Your Majesty gives money, I will give it to you directly, and no one will be able to get such a good thing from me in the future."
"Don't talk too much nonsense, hurry up and get to the point."
"The first thing, I want to ask Your Majesty, how much is this yellow paper worth?"
"It's a one-size-fits-all approach."
"Then my first thing can reduce the value of paper to ten cents a knife, and the paper produced is snow-white, how about it, the value is worth ten thousand?"
……
Li Shimin was silent, and suddenly lowered the price by a hundred times, and the quality was better than the current one?
This......
There is no way to describe it, it is worth a lot?
It's priceless!
"By the way, Your Majesty, if it is combined with my second thing, you will know that if these two things are matched, it can directly break the family's monopoly on knowledge."
"Why are books expensive? Because of its high value, the poor family has no chance at all, but as long as these two things are matched, everything becomes very simple. ”
"My second thing is called movable type printing!"
Fang Ce explained the improved papermaking and movable type printing to Li Shimin in detail.
Li Shimin's whole person was stunned, it's so simple.
That is to say, in a different way of thinking, it can actually save such a large amount of money, and it can be better than the original, just like the previous Zhenguan plow, it is just a little flexible, but the change caused is huge.
It's just that no one thought about it.
There is also steelmaking and horseshoes.
It's just a small change.
"What about the third thing?"
Li Shimin felt that he was numb, this Fang Ce, I really couldn't understand him, just take out anything, let alone 10,000 yuan, even if it is 100,000 yuan, millions of yuan can be earned, why would you sell it directly to yourself?
Isn't this crazy?
However, Li Shimin did not say much.
"The third thing, that's a huge deal, Your Majesty, this thing has touched the bottom line of the family."
Fang Ce must warn Li Shimin that if he doesn't dare to come with the family now, then he will definitely not be able to give it to him.
Instead of helping Li Shimin, this is harming him.
Yang Guang is a lesson from the past.
"Humph!"
Li Shimin's face finally changed, and he suddenly snorted coldly, and then said: "Do you say that the family is big, or is it me?" ”
Li Shimin's words have already shown his determination.
In fact, Fang Ce also knows that Li Shimin has a heart to be an emperor through the ages.
So Fang Ce nodded, and then gave Li Shimin a way to make salt.
Actually, this kind of thing is just to add some charcoal when filtering.
It's just that people nowadays don't understand it at all.
Fang Ce clicked casually, and Li Shimin understood.
In this way, the salt can be made in a terrible way.
The huge benefits generated by this made Li Shimin tremble.
The value of this is estimated to be millions, or even tens of millions, every year.
Sold to yourself like that?
You can't do that.
"Does Your Majesty think I'm crazy? Sold all these benefits to you? No, in fact, I'm not crazy, although I sold these things to you, but this is for Datang, I have no regrets. ”
Fang Ce would not have said his purpose, if Fang Ce told Li Shimin about his plan, it is estimated that Li Shimin would have cut his heart.
What are 50,000 guan used for?
This kind of thing must not be told to Li Shimin, if he is told, his plan will be in vain.
How could Li Shimin allow such a thing that might threaten his life to come out?
"You don't need to say this, I know, you say, what do you want? In this world, there is nothing that I don't have, although the title can't give you too good, but a county duke can still give it to you. ”
50,000 guan bought something that couldn't be bought by 10,000 guan, and Li Shimin felt that if he didn't give some compensation to Fang Ce, he felt a little too reluctant to go.
"Father!"
At this moment, a crisp and gentle voice sounded outside the imperial study.
