Although it is not possible to make a more sophisticated spinning machine now, it is enough to crush the spinning machine of this era, and the cost alone is not at the same level.

Sixteen times! Tian Meng was a little fascinated when he heard it! This means that the cost of the cloth produced by their Yuelai Trading House is only one-sixteenth of that of others, or even lower! Because one person spins sixteen threads at the same time, and sixteen people spin sixteen threads at the same time, the cost is different!

Because the labor cost is one-sixteenth, not to mention the production cost of the spinning machine, as well as the cost of the site, etc.

"How much money does Yuelai Commercial Bank have now?" Li Ke turned his head to look at Tian Meng and asked.

Although he has not taken a penny from Yuelai Commercial Bank over the years, he also knows that Yuelai Commercial Bank has always saved money and is ready to use it for him at any time.

"There are 80,000 times!" Tian Meng was a little proud! Although 80,000 guan doesn't sound like much, don't forget that in addition to normal business activities, Yuelai Commercial Bank is also constantly supporting some intelligence spying personnel, which are all taught to them by His Royal Highness!

His Highness told them that doing business is like fighting a war, and that intelligence is the most important thing!

Therefore, basically the people in the major commercial banks have spies gradually planted by Yuelai Commercial Bank, and the loyalty of these people is beyond doubt, and many of their funds are provided to them by Yuelai Commercial Bank.

Over the years, Yuelai Commercial Bank has been expanding, and it can still save a balance of 80,000 yuan, which is really remarkable.

You know, they will often give relief to disaster victims and adopt orphans in the name of His Royal Highness, and these people often have no way to generate benefits.

Therefore, those fools outside always think that His Highness is a reckless man like Su Guogong, but they don't know where His Highness's real cleverness is.

"How many inns are there in Chang'an City?"

"Back to Your Highness, according to your guidance, the three inns with the best geographical location are located in the east and west fang cities of Chang'an, Shanhe Visit. In addition, there are seven other smaller ones that are located around different squares in Wai Guo Shing. Tian Meng bowed and replied.

Li Ke nodded, Dongxifang City is the two largest markets in Chang'an, and the layout of the entire Chang'an City is square, Li Ke once suspected that the person who designed Chang'an City was not a Virgo.

There are a total of 14 streets in the east and west of Chang'an, and 11 streets in the north and south are horizontal and vertical, dividing the entire Chang'an City into neat 108 squares.

Li Shimin Taiji Palace is located in the middle of the north of Chang'an City, and the south of Taiji Palace is the imperial city, which is the place where officials clock in and out of work every day, and the left and right sides of the imperial city and Taiji Palace are palace cities, which are inhabited by ministers and officials and some nobles.

The main gate of the imperial city is the famous Vermilion Bird Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate to the southernmost Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, is the north-south central axis of the entire Chang'an, this street is called Zhuque Street, also called Tianmen Street. It is the Chengtianmen Street between the main gate of the Imperial City, the Suzaku Gate and the main gate of the Taiji Palace, and the Chengtianmen Gate, which evenly divides Chang'an City into east and west.

The people of Chengtianmen Street can't enter, but Zhuque Street and the Zhuquemen Hengjie in front of Zhuque Gate are the two most important transportation hubs in Chang'an City.

Shanhefang is located directly south of the Suzaku Gate, the Fang Market on the right side of Suzaku Street, if it weren't for Li Ke being the prince, he wouldn't be able to buy land in this place.

I forgot to mention that the store in Shanhefang bought it from the eldest grandson's.

It was bought by Li Ke after talking to the eldest grandson Chong for a long time.

"Did these three inns be bought at my request?" Li Ke didn't care about the other few, but only cared about these three.

"Yes, Your Highness, the three inns including the surrounding shops we can buy all of them back, at present, whether it is the East and West Fang City, or the Shanhe Fang, our three inns have the largest area.

"Not bad." Li Ke nodded slightly, and he will start doing business by himself in the future, and the location of these three inns is the most important flagship store!

"Take out all the 80,000 guans, first take out 10,000 guan and hand it over to this master Lu Daqiang, let them make the spinning mechanism in the shortest possible time, I still have looms and jacquard machines for you to make, so you hurry up, if there are not enough manpower, let Tian Meng transfer people." Li Ke said.

Now the most important thing for Yuelai Commercial Bank is people.

"It's Your Highness!" Tian Meng was so moved that he almost burst into tears, Your Highness, after eight years, you are finally willing to spend our money!

"Your Highness doesn't need 10,000 yuan!" Lu Daqiang was a little excited, he didn't expect His Highness to remember his name, he hurriedly said, 10,000 is too much! It's just to make a spinning machine, how can it be ten thousand times.

"Yes, because you make one first, and then you are ready to find people to expand, I want to produce spinning machines on a large scale, although I don't know what industry the Zheng family and the eldest grandson family are engaged in, but silk and silk are definitely what they must have." Li Ke sneered and said.

"It's Your Highness, if it is mass-produced, we may need a lot of manpower, mainly because ordinary apprentices do not have the ability to produce at all, and we need Steward Tian to mobilize a large number of carpenters from other places to come over." Lu Daqiang hesitated and said.

"No, that's enough." Li Ke waved his hand, "You use the assembly line production method. ”

"Assemblies?" Lu Daqiang was a little puzzled.

"It's like making a mold and then assembling it." Li Ke gave an example.

Lu Daqiang suddenly suddenly, "You mean, let's be like producing molds, each person is responsible for the production of a component, and finally assembled?" ”

"Yes!" Li Ke smiled and nodded, so don't think that the ancients were stupid, don't think how awesome the assembly line production is, although there was no concept of assembly line in ancient times, but in fact, similar concepts were played in the Qin Dynasty.

"Each group of apprentices is only responsible for grinding one component according to the same standard, so that practice makes perfect as quickly as possible, and then handed over to specialized personnel to transport these parts to a specific assembly workshop, and the assembly personnel are also handed over to special people to be responsible, the early speed may be slower, but when skilled, because of the use of standardized production, a part can be damaged in the later stage, and it can be replaced with each other." Li Ke gave a detailed explanation.

Although there is a precedent for assembly line production in the Qin Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty actually has it, it can only be organized by the government, and the folk craftsmen are more accustomed to creating a certain finished product by one person, the reason is very simple, the craftsmen in ancient times relied on technology and word of mouth to eat!

If the finished product produced by oneself is handed over to someone else, and a part is not qualified, it will damage the reputation of the craftsman, and they will believe in themselves more.

It is not easy for ordinary craftsmen to work and eat, and this is the reason why everyone in ten miles and eight towns find the most famous carpenters to build furniture.

But working for Li Ke does not have this problem.
