Chapter 40 Datang Out-of-print Suit
Seeing that everyone's faces were full of curiosity, but they didn't speak, the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in asking, "Your Majesty, who are you?" Where did the dragon robe go? ”
Li Er laughed and said, "Dragon robe? The dragon robe can't solve our current problems, this set of clothes looks weird, but today's Datang is out of print, the only one in the world, and it is also our plan to make a fortune. ”
"Plans to make a fortune? Your Majesty, you're not going to sell clothes, are you? Gao Shilian, who was in charge of the money and food, asked.
This Gao Shangshu is the maternal uncle of Empress Changsun, and the two siblings of Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun were exiled and raised by their uncle Gao Shilian.
"Selling clothes? No, no, no, I don't sell clothes, I sell technology, to be precise, the technology of making clothes. Li Er explained.
Technology?
Everyone didn't react, Datang's silk technology is indeed good, but everyone knows this thing, do you still need to buy it from the imperial court?
At this time, Du Ruhui, who had been pondering, asked tentatively: "Could it be that the clothes on Your Majesty's body are not made of silk?" Are you selling silk weaving technology for this new material? ”
Li Er stroked his palm and praised: "Sure enough, Keming is alert, it's true, then why don't you guess again, who am I going to sell this technology to?" ”
Everyone watched the two monarchs and ministers play dumb riddles, Du Ruhui frowned and thought for a moment, and muttered: "Just now, Your Majesty said that this thing can solve our current problem, that is, use this to deal with the Northern Turks." ”
"Keming, is it possible to sell clothes with the Turks, and they will be able to withdraw their troops? Even if they give them clothes, they won't. Gao Shilian reminded.
Du Ruhui smiled, "Of course not, I think, Your Majesty's meaning is that you can use this to solve the current money and food problem, Datang has a large army that can resist the northern Turkic army, but it is suffering from not having enough military food."
And this technology must have far surpassed silk craftsmanship to the point where it could be sold. As for who to sell to, the minister guessed that it would either be sold to the silk merchants inherent in the Tang Dynasty in exchange for money to raise grain, or it would be sold to major families. ”
"Good, good, good, whoever knows me, Ke Mingye! Not bad at all. Li Er gave a thumbs up.
Then he took off the woolen shirt on his body and passed it to the ministers to watch, "Just pass it on and see, the pants will not be taken off, it is not easy to wear it once, you are all weathered characters, well-informed, you may see what kind of material this is?" ”
It is very soft to the touch, this is in summer, if it is winter, I am afraid it will be able to warm up to the touch, the eldest grandson Wuji guessed.
Fang Xuanling observed a small gap on the lower edge of the clothes, and reached out to pinch a little thread, but he couldn't pull it, although Li Er was distressed, he still asked people to bring scissors.
Click!
"Don't, don't...... Xuan Ling, a little bit is enough, how did you cut a big gap? How else do you wear this? Your Majesty said it, but it's out of print, it's just this one, do you pay for it if you cut it? "Du Ruhui pulls the house Xuanling.
The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "It's okay to do it, don't pay for it." ”
Tang Jian stretched out his hand and said, "Fang Xiang, I will also cut a piece to observe and observe." ”
…… Li Er panicked, hurriedly walked over to stop him, and reached out to take the clothes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can see the whole leopard at a glance, and the piece in Xuan Ling's hand is enough to see the material."
As he spoke, he put his clothes back on his body, but fortunately, the gap was behind him, and there was nothing wrong with it from the front.
"Your Majesty, this material is novel, a bit like silk thread, but it is softer, and a bit like kapok ......," the eldest grandson Wuji speculated.
Seeing that everyone couldn't recognize him, Li Er stopped selling Guanzi, "This is actually made of wool, and the whole set is made of wool." ”
What?
Wool?
How can it be? Isn't wool coarse and stiff? Even the wool of the northern steppes is difficult to handle...... No, don't you?
"Your Majesty, is it true that you have mastered it? What is the handling and processing technology of sheep's wool? Fang Xuanling exclaimed.
Li Er smiled and nodded.
Everyone exclaimed.
The group of people in front of him can be said to be the smartest group of people in the Tang Dynasty, the old Qin Wangfu has eighteen bachelor rankings, who is not a knowledgeable person who can draw inferences.
If wool is through the wool, everyone can calculate, if wool can really be woven into clothing, it is terrible.
Not to mention that there are countless cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the wool is inexhaustible, just in the Tang Dynasty, who in a wealthy family does not have a few sheep? There are even more officials and aristocrats, ranging from tens to hundreds, and more to acres of acres.
"Your Majesty, can wool really weave such soft clothes?" Du Ruhui asked.
Li Er waved his hand, and the waiter Lao Gao presented a notebook, on which a simple wool processing technique was written, which was copied by Li Er's dictation.
Everyone took turns to read it, and they were completely convinced in their hearts that there are capable people in the world!
"Your Majesty, I don't know how much this technology is worth? After reading these secret books, the minister went back to collect money. Gao Shilian took the initiative to say.
Li Er waved his hand and said: "Aiqing misunderstood, this is just a simplified step, but the detailed technology is sold, I invited you to discuss countermeasures, not to make money from you."
Today, I have obtained more than one supreme skill, think about it, or use this silk weaving technology in exchange for military rations, you discuss, how much should this kind of stunt be sold to the major families? ”
"The minister thinks that this kind of magic skill can be called priceless, if it can be promoted, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed in the future, and they can say goodbye to the stiff mulberry linen clothes." The great Confucian Yu Shinan opened his mouth and said loudly.
The eldest grandson Wuji objected and said: "Bo Shi (Yu Shinan's character), although this thing is related to the people's livelihood, but it is also helpless to sell it at the moment, otherwise, the northern Turks invade the south, the Tang Dynasty is dangerous, and the people don't know how many people will be killed or injured."
Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not easy to set the price, but at least it must be sold enough to raise this military ration.
As for what Yu Gong said, the livelihood of the people can wait until the enemy soldiers in the north are withdrawn, and then our court will come forward to slowly plan it. ”
…… Everyone looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and scolded in their hearts, sure enough, the fat man was insidious, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, first sold the technology to raise military rations, and then after repelling the enemy, and then sold the technology to the common people, so that the wool technology is cheap, and the wool clothes can be popularized and benefit the people.
Li Er's face smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the price today, and it's not too late to discuss the people's livelihood plan in the future." ”
……
After discussion, the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui contacted the technical issue of selling.
Li Er came to the palace where the queen was located, and wiped his sweat as he walked, "This dress is comfortable to wear, but it's a little hot." ”
When he came to the Lizheng Palace, before he could speak, the queen greeted him, "Erlang, come and see, this is a new dress sent by the fifth brother, and I don't know what material it is, it is very soft and comfortable to wear." ”
Li Er took a closer look, okay, what is it not a woolen sweater? Just told the courtiers that Datang was out of print, and slapped him in the face in a blink of an eye.
