After Lu Daqiang listened, he suddenly realized that this was not the same as modular production. This was obviously more efficient, and he also thought of a benefit, that is, it could maintain a high degree of confidentiality.
Although it is impossible for them to betray His Highness, they are afraid of inadvertently leaking it. If everyone only knows part of it, it will not be easy to collect all the drawings.
"Your Highness, I understand." Lu Daqiang leaned over and saluted.
"Well, Tian Meng, after the production is completed, we will immediately dispatch spinning personnel to carry out experimental production. In addition, we will be prepared to purchase silk and hemp. In addition, tell the Western Region Branch to collect a large number of Bai Diazi seeds. , and then expand large-scale planting." Li Ke gave Tian Meng a new order.
Baidiezi is cotton and has been introduced to the Tang Dynasty. However, the number of plantings in the Tang Dynasty is very small, mainly concentrated in Gaochang, Qiuci, Yanqi, Gumo, Yarkand and other Western Region countries.
As for Gumo and Yarkand, they were later known as the Aksu region and were important cotton-producing areas in Xinjiang, including Gaochang and Qiuci.
Cotton has already been planted in these places, but Datang has not yet started large-scale planting.
"Yes!" Tian Meng immediately bowed.
"If possible, after making profits first, we can purchase Baidiezi from Gaochang at a high price. By the way, we will change our name internally to Cotton in the future." Li Ke pondered for a moment.
"Your Highness, Gaochang is a long way from us. If we buy Baidiezi, or cotton, our costs will rise significantly." Tian Meng hesitated.
"I know that the price must be high, higher than the price for people in Gaochang to grow food. It is best for the people in Gaochang to plant cotton on a large scale, or to plant all cotton. As for the food, we buy it from nearby and sell it at a fair price!" Li Ke added.
"Um?" Tian Meng was a little confused as to what His Highness was going to do.
Li Ke did not explain that the results of this plan would not be seen within one or two years, and it would take at least three years to have initial results. As for the purpose, it is just the simplest economic means for future generations.
Gaochang has never been a good country. Although this is not something Li Ke has to deal with, it is Li Shimin's business, but it affects Li Ke's money!
"Yes!" Tian Meng didn't ask, he just executed it. His Highness said it was whatever he said.
"Well, let's verify the technology of spinning machines and looms first." Li Ke handed the drawings of the flying shuttle loom to Lu Daqiang. "After the verification is successful, we will directly expand the production scale. This year's spring silk will be produced After that, we are ready to enter the fabric industry on a large scale.”
"yes!"
"Also, find someone to help me translate the information. I read it and have someone copy it for me. After this part of the information is translated, find someone to start breeding dolphins on a large scale and purchase various animal and vegetable oils." Li Ke explained again. One sentence.
Among the several sets of books he took out, they included spinning machines, looms, Jacquard looms, and methods of making soap and scented soap, as well as methods of frying tea. In fact, Li Ke has almost finished making tea. Over the years, he really can't get used to the Tang Dynasty's tea. He can't stand it when everything is added to it. Although he doesn't know how to make tea, he knows how to use a pot to make tea. Just copy the tea leaves and let people experiment.
If it doesn't work once, try it ten times or a hundred times. As long as you know its principle, it's not difficult to do it.
So fried tea has actually been made, and Li Ke had already drank fried tea a few years ago. For someone like him who is bored with tea, he can't tell much difference, but he It is better to bring over the hand-made method of making fried tea.
Wouldn't it be better if this thing always has the correct posture?
"Your Highness, not many people eat pork meat, and the common people are not willing to raise it." Tian Meng hesitated for a moment, and no one eats pork meat in the Tang Dynasty. At least people with a little wealth don't eat it, so they naturally raise it. There are fewer people in the Tang Dynasty, and the main meat in the Tang Dynasty is mutton.
"You can raise it if you want. This thing is much more delicious than mutton." Li Ke did not explain. Pigs are full of treasures. It can be said that pigs are the greatest invention of mankind. Nothing in this thing is useless.
It's so miserable.
"yes!"
"That's all for now. You can arrange it." Li Ke waved his hand. As for other basic materials, such as cement, Li Ke also has information now, but there is no need. Let's make money first. With money, everything will be simple, " Now ask a few people to follow me to the study."
"Yes!" Tian Meng immediately bent down and said.
Li Ke was just about to take people to the study to copy several books such as "Breeding Superior Breeds" and "Supervising Sows to Ovulate Estrus". A guard outside hurried in and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has a decree for you to go to the palace. "
"Huh?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment. Queen Changsun called him? Could it be that Changsun Chong was the one who made the decision?
It's impossible. Over the years, Changsun Chong has been used to being beaten, and he has never seen Queen Changsun stand up for him.
"Where is the person who delivered the order?" Li Ke was a little confused.
"Let's go." The guard laughed dryly. He didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that His Highness the King of Shu would do something wrong and run away after hearing the news. Anyway, he also knew that in His Highness the King of Shu's place, even if it was to convey an order. Don't think about it like other ministers' families.
Everyone has learned the lessons of blood and tears for so many years, so the opponent ran away easily.
"What do you mean? I'm so scary? Come back to me!" Li Ke raised his eyebrows and said loudly.
"Your Highness, the other party came on horseback." The guard hurriedly saluted.
Li Ke: "..."
Oh shit! Miscalculated. Next time, tell the guards in advance. No matter what, keep the person who conveyed the order! It wasn't that he wanted to do anything, but mainly that he wanted to find out secretly whether Li Shimin had tricked him into going in and making plans under the guise of Queen Changsun passing the decree.
Don't believe in your cheap father's integrity, it's long gone!
Anyway, Li Shimin has done many such things here.
Mainly... Li Ke had actually done things in the past to resist the imperial edict, even though he knew he would be beaten.
Li Shimin was also very angry. It was just a matter of beating him with a military stick. He couldn't really kill his own son.
Of course, Li Ke also used some tricks to resist the edict. For example, someone reported the arrival of the edict and knew the content of the edict in advance, but others ran away and pretended not to receive it.
I didn't receive it, so of course it's not disrespectful.
If he really wanted to openly resist the order, he wouldn't dare.
Queen Changsun called, Li Ke still wanted to go. Over the years, Li Ke really admired Queen Changsun. The virtuous queen recorded in history was well-deserved.
Over the years, Li Ke and the Changsun family have been in such trouble. Queen Changsun is always amiable to Li Ke, and she is not acting. Li Ke can feel it, and in many things, she is a bowl of water. Many times, she interceded for Li Ke and spared Li Shimin's military stick.
