Li Shimin has just learned about the many benefits of rubber tires.

Therefore, when Fang Xuanling raised a question, he immediately popularized science to everyone.

I only heard him speak: "The raw material of this thing comes from Tianzhu, which is a natural gum..."

Li Shimin said about the production process of rubber tires.

Hearing it, Fang Xuanling and the others were all covered by clouds and mountains.

After Li Shimin shut up, Changsun Wuji immediately said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, let's talk about the benefits of this tire, we are not very interested in the manufacturing process." ”

After listening to his words, Li Shimin couldn't help but pouted and said, "You don't want to understand such a novel thing thoroughly, which really disappoints me." ”

After saying this, he continued: "The tires made of this material can carry more cargo and save horsepower.

In addition, these tires reduce bumps and make it more comfortable to sit in the car. ”

Wang Jue pointed to the inflatable hole in the tire and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this mechanism?" What are the functions? ”

Li Shimin said: "This is an inflatable hole, and it can only be used normally after inflation. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's introduction, everyone stepped forward to study it carefully.

Dai tried to press it with his hand, and found that the tire was actually elastic.

So he pressed and pinched the tire with his hand, and for a while he actually had a lot of fun.

The others imitated his movements when they saw him.

Then there was a burst of amazement.

Fang Xuanling also knocked on the one-piece wheel hub with his hand, and found that it was actually made of steel.

This made him very surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the cost of this thing is not low!" ”

Li Shimin said: "The initial cost is naturally a little high, but now Datang's steel production has increased significantly, and it will not take long for the cost to be reduced." ”

Wang Jue asked: "Your Majesty, this rubber comes from the distant Tianzhu, I'm afraid the cost is not easy to reduce, right?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Not to mention that the pheasant slaves have already planted rubber trees in Guangzhou.

Even if you buy it from Tianzhu all the time, you can exchange the ten smallest glass mirrors for about 10,000 catties of rubber. ”

Everyone silently calculated in their hearts and found that a pound of rubber was about ten yuan.

It's really not very expensive.

While everyone was calculating the cost of the carriage here, Linde Furniture had begun to sell new carriages to the outside world.

The carriages all had rubber tires and had bow plates replaced.

Some of these carriages, custom-made for wealthy families, were also comfortably upholstered.

Although the prices of these carriages start at a minimum of 1,000 yuan, they are really not too expensive for a luxury brand like Scale.

Nowadays, the roads in Chang'an City are all cement roads, so such carriages do not feel bumps at all.

Even the bumps in the way out of the city to the surrounding areas were not very serious.

Under Pei Mingli's publicity, the new carriage soon ushered in buyers.

Some of the big families first customized a batch.

These people often don't care much about the cost of maintaining their status.

As long as the things are luxurious enough, they are willing to shell out a lot of money to show themselves.

So it didn't take long for all kinds of gorgeous carriages to appear on the market in Chang'an City.

The carports of these carriages are all inlaid with gold and jade, showing their wealth.

Seeing this situation, several powerful car dealers also purchased a batch.

They wanted to try to see if this kind of carriage was really more horsepower efficient and could increase capacity.

So this is how the law of true fragrance comes into play.

All the people who used the new carriage unanimously expressed their approval of the new carriage.

Chang'an City will not lose anything and will not lack the atmosphere of comparison.

The rich people here simply can't tolerate someone of their own status pretending to be in front of them.

So in such an atmosphere, a large number of orders were sent to Pei Mingli's hands.

In this way, the new carriage soon ushered in a wave of hot sales.

It didn't take long for even merchants from other places to come to Chang'an City to purchase.

Many of the parts used to make horse-drawn carriages need to be produced in an industrial park outside Chang'an.

This, combined with the increase in production of some other workshops, has led to another explosion in the number of workers employed here.

Under such circumstances, Pei Mingli began to build houses in the industrial park again.

At the same time, a new round of land hoarding work began in Chang'an City.

This time, no one is willing to follow Pei Mingli to engage in real estate together.

However, many people have started the agency business of new cloth and rubber fishing nets.

It's also about making money, and these things can make money much faster than real estate.

Pei Mingli, who discovered a new business opportunity, hurriedly contacted Yan Lide, who would be a prisoner.

Let him hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the price of silk has not yet been reduced to produce more silk for export.

In addition, he also suggested that Yan Lide quickly remind the imperial court to control the foreign sales of new fabrics.

The price of these things is no less than that of silk at the moment.

If the imperial court didn't take advantage of this time to make a big profit, wouldn't it be a big loss?

In addition to these, there are also rubber wire fishing nets specially explained by Li Zhi.

This thing will need to be banned from export for a long time to come.

In Li Zhi's words, the life of foreign people is too good, which is not conducive to the influence of the Tang Dynasty on them.

After Li Shimin listened to Yan Lide's suggestion, he laughed happily at that time.

This year, the treasury has already received a lot more revenue, and now how can he not be happy if he can increase his income?

However, he did not understand Li Zhi's proposal to ban the export of rubber wire fishing nets.

But he was happy to accept it.

The son is so competitive, and if he wants to be willful occasionally, let him be.

At the end of October, Li Yuan once again embarked on a journey to Guangzhou.

The old man seemed to have become delicate after visiting it once.

As soon as I felt a little cold in the morning and evening, I began to make trouble and couldn't stand it.

Seeing this, Li Shimin naturally didn't say anything, and immediately waved his hand: Arrangement!

Li Zhi, who was in Guangzhou City, immediately began to arrange the greeting after receiving the news.

At the same time, he also had to start handing over some important matters with Duan Zhixuan.

Today, the new city wall of Guangzhou City has been built.

Five batches of housing renovation have also been completed.

The work of land reclamation has also come to an end.

It won't be long before everyone, including those wingmen, will be able to own 100 acres of fertile land.

Coupled with the farm that Li Zhi helped establish, these people are enough to live better than many ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin had already decided not to let Li Zhi continue to stay in Guangzhou.

He now finds himself missing Li Zhi more and more.

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan needed to take over the rest of Li Zhi's transformation work.

At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to pay attention to the integration of the bureaucrats and the Han Chinese.

Fortunately, all this is not in a hurry.

After all, Li Zhi still has to accompany Li Yuan here for the winter.
