"Look at you, you're dressed well, why are you so unruly, if you want to buy something, you have to line up at the back!"

Because of Chen Xuan's identity, the people in the palace changed him into a set of silk robes, which is much more expensive than ordinary cotton cloth.

"Oh, I'll just look, just look at ......"

Chen Jiong's appeal has been completely attracted by the scene in the store, a long counter with all kinds of cloth, silk and cotton, different colors, a variety of patterns, it looks particularly bright and eye-catching. People asked for their own size, and their own clerks measured them with a ruler and cut them.

On the other side, there are rows of ready-to-wear clothes, robes and shirts, as well as various women's flower skirts, etc., all supported by wooden frames, which seem to be quite varied and dazzling.

This kind of textile technology and cutting level is really beyond Chen Chao's reach, I am afraid that it is better than Lin'an City, Chen Xuan thought that the price of fabric clothes must not be cheap.

It happened that at this time, a woman bought a piece of cotton cloth, and Chen Xuan stepped forward and asked politely: "This lady, how long and wide is your cloth, and how much did you spend to buy it?" ”

The woman couldn't help but take a closer look at Chen Xuan, and felt that this person must be from a foreign country, so she said with a slight sense of superiority: "I bought a whole horse, the price is very cheap, four zhang long, eight feet wide, only four dollars of silver!" ”

Zhao Rui did not circulate copper coins and jiaozi in his territory, and only used gold and silver as currency, and the change he needed daily was weighed and calculated with some broken silver.

"What! Chen Xuan's eyes were about to pop out, only four coins of silver? ”

Chen Xuan never dreamed that the price of cotton cloth would be so cheap, and most of the fabrics on the market are more than four feet wide, why did Zhao Rui have eight feet of cloth here.

But even so, with the same length and half the width, if you want to buy a piece of cheesecloth in Thang Long City, it will cost five dollars of silver to convert it.

The cloth is quite twice that of Thang Long City, and the price is even cheaper.

How......

Because cotton cloth is a new product after all, Chen Xuan doesn't know too much, and then asked the price of silk.

The woman seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Xuan's reaction, as a Dabao person, she had already experienced that faint sense of superiority, so she said lightly: "It's much cheaper than before, and it's only 9 yuan of silver!" ”

Oh, my God!

Chen Xuan calculated that the price difference was more than doubled, and the cloth here was not under the Song Dynasty in terms of texture and color, it was too cheap!

Chen Xuan's reaction made the woman's mood very refreshing, so she showed off and said a few words: "It used to be very expensive, but since the prince set up the Dabao Textile Factory, the price of cloth has been declining, so that our people can afford to wear it." Moreover, there are many Champa and Mayi people who come to buy! ”

Chen Xuan suddenly thought, yes! Now the cloth produced by Dabaocheng exceeds that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the price is low, and it will definitely replace the leading position of the Southern Song Dynasty in the world in the future, so the profit is astronomical!

"This lady, do you know why the fabric produced by the Dabao Weaving Factory is so cheap?"

"How do I know this, our people are busy with their livelihoods on weekdays, how can we have the time to study these, so naturally we will buy whichever is cheaper!"

Sure enough, ordinary people don't know.

Chen Xuan couldn't think of a reason, so he lowered his head and continued to walk in contemplation.

"Humph! What kind of person, the person who wears it looks like a dog, and he doesn't even say thank you when he asks! ”

The woman muttered a glance at Chen Xuan's back and went home carrying the fabric.

Unable to figure out a question, Chen Xuan felt that everything was boring, and reversed the journey back to the palace.

Hearing that Zhao Rui was back, Chen Xuan couldn't take much care of it, and immediately went over to ask for a meeting.

Zhao Rui had just entered the door, and he wanted to take a shower and change his clothes, but Chen Xuan found it, so he had to talk about it later.

"Chen Xuan, are you still used to living these days?"

"Well, it's good, the food is good, and the accommodation is good......"

Chen Xuan didn't want to be verbose on these greetings, and asked directly: "Lord Wang, I just found out in the market that the fabric here is very cheap, not even half of the ordinary market price, I want to know how to do it?" ”

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Chen Xuan, I really didn't misunderstand you, I didn't expect you to find the answer so quickly!" ”

"Answer?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled, didn't he just see cheap cloth, what kind of answer is this?

Seeing Chen Xuan's confusion, Zhao Rui walked out of the main hall with a smile, turned around and said, "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere." ”

Zhao Rui drove the carriage, and the two of them swayed to the water conservancy weaving workshop in the car.

After the two got out of the car, Zhao Rui pointed to the two houses by the waterfall and said, "Look, my cloth is produced here." ”

Chen Xuan followed Zhao Rui's footsteps, looked at the waterfall of the house and the water wheel, and said: "Oh, it turned out that the power of flowing water was used, no wonder it was so fast." ”

Zhao Rui smiled without answering, and directly took him into the textile workshop, where all the textile machines were running, making a squeaking winding sound.

Chen Xuan was stunned as soon as he entered the door, originally thought it was just for water conservancy, but there were 100 spindles on the textile machine in front of him, and they were still winding at the same time!

What kind of efficiency is this?

Compared to the old-fashioned textile wheel, which only has one spindle on it, this is simply a hundred times more efficient, and it is still day and night, and the thread spun here is probably an astronomical amount!

These are no longer textile machines, they are simply cash cows!

The reason why Zhao Rui is optimistic about Chen Xuan is here, he is the emperor, and the education he has received since he was a child is also different, he knows what trade is, he knows what taxation is, he is well versed in the way of governing the country, just looking at Chen Xuan's expression, Zhao Rui has understood what Chen Xuan has understood.

This is a secret place, and it can't be seen by others for a long time, so Zhao Rui then led Chen Xuan to the weaving workshop on the side.

When he got here, Chen Xuan was even more surprised than when he was in the textile workshop, the textile machine changed from one spindle to multiple and it was easy to understand, but when he arrived at the loom, Chen Xuan thought that he had seen a demon law.

If it's not a demon law, then how to explain the shuttle that is traveling back and forth on the cloth?

The shuttle was worn quickly and well, Chen Xuan could see it clearly, but the weaver standing on the side did not move a finger, and the shuttle passed through and through, as if flying......

On the way back, Chen Xuan lowered his head and pondered, sometimes asking a question.

"Haha, that's not a demon law, really, it's just a small mechanism!" Zhao Rui drove the carriage and was amused by Chen Xuan's nervous appearance.

"And I can tell you that we're working on a machine that will provide power, and once it's built, it won't be the same as it is now. I can build a textile workshop anywhere, without manpower, without time limits, even when I sleep, the workshop is still producing, and when the time comes, the price of cloth will be halved again! ”

Zhao Rui's words were so loud that they almost knocked Chen Xuan unconscious.

Half cheaper, what a concept, it means that people all over the world don't need to weave anymore!

Textile is originally repetitive and repetitive boring labor, and it can even be said to be a burden, when the price of Zhao Rui's products is only a little more expensive than raw materials, what should I do?

The cloth is still beautifully made and of good quality, and I am afraid that even the people will no longer weave their own cloth by then, because they will buy more than they can weave themselves!

What's more important is the technology that Zhao Rui has mastered now, which is amazing, anyway, Chen Xuan was shocked when he saw it, and he was confident that there might not be a second company in the world with such efficient textile technology.

In this way, Zhao Rui's cloth has become a necessity in various countries, and the wealth brought by it ...... Call...... I can't imagine it......

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became, and his previous doubts had been completely solved.

Although the carriage was still moving, Chen Xuan couldn't wait, so he knelt down in front of Zhao Rui in the carriage.

The complete three knocks and nine bows made Zhao Rui look back at him, thinking that he was stimulated by something that caused him to be abnormal.

"Lord Wang, I'm convinced, now I understand why Jiaozhi can't beat you, because you can't be defeated, and besides, not only Jiaozhi, I'm afraid that looking at the world, there is no country at all that can be your opponent!"

Zhao Rui smiled, thinking about Chen Xuan's cleverness, he had already figured it out at this time, it was really worth the trip.

Chen Xuan said again: "Let me go back, I will persuade my father to give way and let you be the emperor of our Jiaozhi, and I implore you to lead our Jiaozhi people to the pinnacle of glory!" ”

That's a bit of a big deal......

Zhao Rui couldn't help but look back at Chen Xuan deeply.

How many emperors have been on the throne since ancient times? Chen Xuan's awareness is really rare.

"It's okay for you to go back, it's just that I won't do it for the time being, and I have more things to deal with here."

Zhao Rui's attitude was resolute, and Chen Xuan was now obedient to Zhao Rui, so he kowtowed: "Since the prince doesn't want me, I won't be reluctant, but I promise that from now on, the door of Jiaozhi will be open for you, you can treat me as your subordinate, or you can take Jiaozhi as your own territory, and you can take everything you need to use, including land, you can take it at will!" ”

Chen Xuan can say this, Zhao Rui's goal can be regarded as successfully achieved, with such a transparent king, not only can accelerate the development of science and technology, but also for the people to create less evil.

"You're nice......"

Zhao Ruiruo looked at Chen Xuan meaningfully and said, "I'm just afraid that your father will be in the way." ”

Chen Xuan fully understood what Zhao Rui was talking about, and hurriedly bowed his head in response: "Yes, don't worry, Lord Wang, I will deal with it immediately after I go back!" ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to send you back, your father has sent a lot of envoys to please me these days, and it seems that he attaches great importance to you." Zhao Rui felt that he could make Chen Xuan understand today, and he was really happy more than anything else.

"Important?"

Chen Xuan had a melancholy face and muttered: "Definitely not, I didn't know what it means to value ...... since I was a child."

Seeing Chen Xuan was unhappy, but when it came to other people's family affairs, Zhao Rui didn't say anything, just said that he happened to go to Wanya Prefecture and could send Chen Xuan to Lang all the time.
