Chapter 1040
"Really, of course it's true! The news came from the East Palace, how could it be false?"
"That's great, that's great! If we had a treadle loom, how could there be a Tang's Cloth Factory in such a big cloth market like the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes! Boycott Tang's Cloth Factory and rent treadle looms!"
The crazy expansion of Tang's cloth shop in the past few days has seriously offended the interests of a group of cloth merchants. Now they really hate Tang Shuheng.
In the past, they couldn't beat Tang's Cloth Mill, mainly because of their low production efficiency. If they could get a treadle loom and improve their production efficiency, they guaranteed that the low-end market would have nothing to do with Tang's Cloth Mill in the future.
"Let's go and see Ning's house!" someone suggested.
"Yes, go and have a look!"
Tang Yu made it clear that treadle looms can be rented, but if you want to rent a treadle loom, you must go to the Ning family.
A group of cloth merchants in the capital were the closest, and they arrived at the Ning family first. Cloth merchants from surrounding towns rode their horses overnight.
When everyone arrived at Ning's house, Tang Yu had already arrived one step ahead.

"I'll wait to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing Tang Yu, a group of cloth merchants came forward to see him.
Tang Yu said with a harmless look on his face: "Excuse me, everyone!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Everyone was respectful.
Immediately, one person couldn't help but asked first: "Your Highness, I heard that you want to rent treadle looms to external parties. Is this news true?"
"Yes, Your Highness, we are all here for the treadle loom!" a group of cloth merchants said one after another.
Tang Yu chuckled and said: "The renting of the treadle loom is indeed true, but you don't have to be cautious, sit down first and talk about it first!"
Seeing that Tang Yu was amiable and not at all like a prince, everyone sat down one after another for the treadle loom.
Mr. Ning was at the scene. When a group of colleagues sat down, he signaled his servants to serve tea to the group of colleagues.
In front of everyone, Tang Yu said bluntly: "Yes, I do intend to rent a treadle loom, and the price is not expensive. The monthly rental price of a treadle loom is ten taels of silver. If it is a year-round subscription, a treadle loom will be rented for a year." I charge one hundred taels of silver for the loom!”
"Twelve taels a month, a hundred taels a year?" Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
Cloth is a huge profit business. As long as the production efficiency is greatly improved, a treadle loom can easily bring huge profits in a month, so the rent of ten taels of silver a month is quite cheap in the eyes of everyone.
Staring at the interested crowd, Tang Yu continued: "I have completely entrusted the leasing matter to the Ning family. From now on, everyone can rent the treadle loom. The Ning family will have professionals who will personally teach you how to use the treadle loom. Remember, the treadle loom The loom must never be sold to the outside world. Once I discover it, I will report it to the emperor and punish the nine tribes!"
"Your Highness, we will understand!" everyone said in unison.
These cloth merchants are not fools. They all know that the Tang royal family now relies on exporting cloth to make money, and all the cloth exported by the royal family comes from the Ning family. The reason why the Ning family has high production efficiency is precisely because of the treadle loom.
Once the treadle loom was leaked and fell into the hands of an enemy country, the enemy country's cloth production efficiency would increase, which would virtually cut off the Tang royal family's financial path.
If the Tang royal family's financial path was cut off, the consequences can be imagined.
Then, Tang Yu waved his hand: "Okay, I won't go into details about the rest! In short, the pedal loom was invented by me. No one is allowed to use the pedal loom without my authorization. Everyone here is a smart person. , I believe you are all very clear about the pros and cons!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Everyone responded respectfully again.
