Chapter 91: The Way to Make Money
"You...."
Li Shimin, you said for a long time, and finally sighed.
"I talk to you like playing the harp to a cow, let you figure out what money you have to negotiate with me, can I care about your little money?!"
"I'm not just starting out, who knows if you'll care in the future."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, this.... It was getting late, so I almost went back first and took my leave. ”
Swish!
Li Yunxiao ran away in an instant like a streamer.
Li Shimin looked at his figure, poured a sip of wine, put the wine jar in front of the tablet, and after giving a salute, he also turned to leave.
Two hours later, it was already late at night, and Li Yunxiao returned to his residence.
The reason why he came back so slowly was because he was thinking about something to make money.
This kind of barbecue restaurant and instant noodles are still too slow to make money, even if there are 9527 leading workers to make it like an assembly line, if it catches up with the cloudy day, the money will be less.
"You're back, I thought you slept with Your Majesty tonight."
Suddenly, Li Chunfeng's voice suddenly sounded in the pavilion.
"I said, Brother Li, do you know that people are scary and scared to death? Like a ghost, besides, what do you mean by me sleeping with him? Are you a pervert to me? ”
Li Chunfeng smiled.
"Okay, what did you just think, so obsessed?"
"Let's talk about it first, how uncomfortable it is to always use internal force to resist the wind and cold."
"Okay."
The two entered the house, Li Chunfeng's room, Li Yunxiao opened his mouth and asked:
"Brother Li, do you know what a loom is?"
"I haven't heard of it, but it's used to make cloth?"
"Yes, if not, that's great!"
"Brother Yunxiao thought of something again?"
Li Yunxiao smiled: "That's natural, there is a good business that can face the world, and you don't have to be confined in this Chang'an City." ”
"What's that?"
Li Yunxiao yawned.
"Let's go to bed first, and I'll talk about it when I study it, by the way, call 9527 back."
"Okay."
The voice fell, and the two were silent all night.
Li Yunxiao did not rest after returning to his room, first looked at his bed and shook his head, then took out a pen and paper and began to study the loom.
He has been in contact with this thing, and if the research is successful, and then an assembly line comes out, the profit should far exceed that of instant noodles and barbecue restaurants.
Time flies.
Ten days later, Li Yunxiao looked at the somewhat strange machine in front of him, touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
He made a pedal style of an inclined loom, which already had a frame with a warp surface at an angle of fifty or sixty degrees to the horizontal base, and an opening device for the foot.
The weaver can sit and operate, using his hands and feet together, and the productivity is generally more than 10 times higher than that of the original loom, but the problem is that this machine can move, but it just can't weave cloth.
It's like he's writing a program, and the full screen of bugs doesn't delay the program, but the result is different from what he expected.
"It's so hard, I'm miserable!"
Looking at the scene that was about to be finished but had no way forward, Li Yunxiao felt too uncomfortable.
couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, Li Yunxiao went to the streets and alleys of Chang'an to inquire about some things related to weaving.
Finally, four days later, Li Yunxiao made the first experimental loom.
"Tut-tut, this time it should be fine."
"9527, you go up and try it."
"The little ones don't know how to weave."
"Oh, calf, I've been telling you for nothing these days? Go to the side. ”
Li Yunxiao personally stepped forward to operate, only to see that he drove the runner under his feet, and the silk that had already been made on the side began to be quickly wound together, but the yarn was formed in a moment.
"Oh my God..."
9527's mouth on the side opened wide and his eyes widened.
It's not that he's never seen someone making thread and weaving, but he's never seen it so fast!
Li Chunfeng, who was drinking tea on the side, was also attracted to it, and after seeing it, he also nodded in praise.
"Brother Yunxiao, how did you come up with the idea of weaving cloth in this way? Is it still from your hometown? ”
"Sort of, there are a hundred times faster in my hometown."
"A hundred times faster than that?"
"I'm bragging, bragging."
Click!
Excited for a moment, Li Yunxiao's strength was too strong, only to hear the machine squeak, and the cylinder was trampled and broken.
"That's it! When it's all done, I'll go out to look for medicine like Brother Yuan, and walk around by the way, you can save some flowers this time, I'll be of great use in the future. ”
Li Chunfeng smiled and nodded.
"Brother Yunxiao, don't worry, this silk cloth is not as cheap as instant noodles, for now, this is hard currency, as long as you have it, you don't have to worry about selling it."
Cloth and silk are very important for any country, and they are even more important for today's Datang, most of which are used for coin trading.
On the Tang side, only less than two percent can afford to wear silk, and most of the rest are linen clothes and silk.
Moreover, cloth and silk are one of the most practical items in foreign trade, and they are in short supply in various countries.
"Brother Li, how much is a piece of cloth?"
"About forty feet."
"So, how much can a piece of cloth sell?"
Li Chunfeng thought for a moment: "It depends on what kind of cloth you are." ”
"A horse of raw silk is about 470 Wen."
"A piece of linen is about 400 wen."
"A piece of fine silk is about 1880 wen."
"A piece of cheesecloth is about 440 wen."
"A horse of purple ripe silk is about 2640 Wen."
"Silk cutting a horse is about 1440 Wen."
“....”
Li Chunfeng cited more than a dozen kinds of fabrics with a face, and the price difference between them was also very large.
"If Brother Yunxiao wants to rely on this machine you made to make cloth, the manpower and material resources combined, a most ordinary cheesecloth will cost about 60 yuan."
"Cheesecloth 440 Wen, deducting manpower and material resources, I net 380?"
"That's right, this is still high, and the real cost may be minus a few cents."
"Okay!" Li Yunxiao looked at 9527 and asked, "How long does it take to make one with a machine like mine?" ”
9527 took a closer look at the loom again, and then arched his hand and said, "If my apprentices make it with me, we can make one in about four days." ”
"Okay, you just make it as fast as you can."
"Brother Li." Li Yunxiao looked at Li Chunfeng again and said, "Please help me purchase all the raw materials for making cloth." ”
Li Chunfeng nodded.
"Yes."
As soon as the words fell, Li Chunfeng immediately took action and walked into the distance.
After arranging things, Li Yunxiao stretched his waist, he has been busy these days, he felt that his hair had fallen out a lot, and he directly lay in the gazebo to prepare to rest for a while.
Li Chunfeng rode a horse and galloped here, although he was not in business, he knew many merchants, and although the materials in the hands of the merchants were many, they were far inferior to the materials in the hands of the people.
An hour later.
Li Chunfeng came to the outside of the Taiji Palace to ask for a meeting.
Li Shimin raised his hand to signal Li Chunfeng to enter, and asked casually, "What are you looking for?" ”
Li Chunfeng replied: "Ask Your Majesty for a holy decree!" ”
