Relying on his control of superior technology, Li Ke has an absolute advantage in the cost of production technology. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of these people producing and selling themselves, Li Ke can sign a purchase agreement with them and increase the price of raw materials! First, copy the prices of raw materials!
Then, through its own absolutely superior technology, it can reduce its own profits, and then lower the terminal price!
In other words, Li Ke can increase costs and lower selling prices, so what can a family with only mid-range production do to compete? !
After Li Ke increased the acquisition cost of raw materials, this will also have huge benefits for expanding the market, because when Li Ke signs an acquisition contract with these people, in order to survive, the people will start to think of ways to expand production capacity. When they no longer After the work of producing and selling, spinning and weaving is handed over, their market for growing and producing raw materials will naturally expand.
Some people even had independent households. After all, at this time, the Tang Dynasty would allocate one hundred acres of land to people who had independent households after they got married.
For the common people, the yearning for a better life has always been engraved in their bones. In fact, even if they don't do it, Li Ke will guide them to do so.
Because when the income of the people is increased and the people have food and can buy clothes, salt, etc. to improve their living standards, the population will inevitably increase sharply.
Once they start having more babies, it becomes a virtuous cycle.
As for overpopulation? Don’t worry about this. Even if the population of the Tang Dynasty expands, it will not be able to expand to 8 billion in future generations. Before that, the population was too much. The problem is that the world is very big! That’s a lot of uninhabited land.
"Well, this will be carried out according to the current situation. I will arrange for you to do it after a while." Li Ke explained.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Prepare an invitation and ask Pei Xingjian to invite my eldest brother to our village outside the city as a guest the day after tomorrow." Li Ke said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Tian Meng agreed, then bent down and left.
Li Ke then continued to lie down and enjoy the services of several courtesans. Hey, it's better to be at home. Home is better.
The next day, Li Ke took Li Min and the two who came from Qin Wangzhuang to meet Li Shimin first, and then went to the mausoleum to burn incense and worship Li Yuan. After returning, he asked Li Min to go to his mother's concubine. Li Ke himself He ran away directly because when he met Li Shimin in the morning, Li Shimin forgot to tell him that he would come to court tomorrow.
Sure enough, Chang Lin arrived at Concubine Yang not long after Li Ke ran away.
"My minister, Chang Lin, has met Concubine Shu and His Highness Prince Liang." Chang Lin first saluted Concubine Yang. (Except for the queen, the harem of the Tang Dynasty was divided into several levels: concubine, concubine, concubine, beauty, and talented person. The concubine only had four titles, which were divided into noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous. Only these four titles, that is, the concubine only had four titles. Four, not four imperial concubines. Imperial concubine itself is a kind of title. Posthumous gifts do not count. During Li Shimin's period, there is no record of the title title of Concubine Yang. Wei Shi was the imperial concubine, Yin Concubine was the virtuous concubine, and Hou Yin Concubine was the concubine because of her son. She rebelled and was demoted to a concubine, and one of the four concubines was missing. Concubine Yan Xian was moved to the title of Concubine De, so it is speculated that Concubine Yang was concubine Shu.)
"Excuse me, I wonder if Chang's servant is here?" Concubine Yang asked curiously.
"I'm here to find His Highness the King of Qin." Chang Lin was also very straightforward.
"Ah? Ke'er hasn't come here yet." Concubine Yang was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, my third brother returned to Zhuangzi outside the city after returning from Xianling." Li Min said.
Chang Lin: "..." Your Highness, you ran too fast.
It's just that Li Ke is not here. Li Min actually still lives in the palace, but he has his own house in Chang'an City.
So Li Min must be living in the palace today.
Chang Lin could only go back and resume his life.
After hearing Chang Lin's report, Li Shimin was speechless. Don't think about it, Li Ke will definitely not come to court tomorrow. You bastard, you said that you have been going to the Western Regions for half a year, and you always have to show up in court when you come back. Ah, it turned out that you were good, you ran very fast.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, let him go. Before the next court meeting, you will send someone to notify him to come to court."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
When Li Ke returned to Qin Wangzhuang, Li Chengqian also received an invitation from Pei Xingjian in the East Palace.
When Li Ke invited him to Zhuangzi outside the city, Li Chengqian was a little stunned, but he still agreed. After all, he also wanted to meet Li Ke, but what he didn't expect was that Li Ke specifically wrote in the invitation , and asked him to bring his sister-in-law.
It doesn't matter if he takes it with him, but Li Chengqian wants to know why Li Ke asked him to go to Zhuangzi outside the city.
All the way back to Qinwangzhuang, Li Ke honestly felt a little emotional. This was the first time he came back after Qinwangzhuang was repaired. After coming out of Jinguangmen, Li Ke noticed that from Jinguangmen to Datang Welfare Industry The official road in the district has been repaired, so it cannot be as scary as Zhuque Street.
Instead, it was built as an official road about eight lanes wide in later generations, and it was also a concrete road.
Datang Welfare Industrial Zone is also close to the Weishui River and is about 18 miles away from Chang'an City. Qinwangzhuang is located to the south of the industrial zone, about 10 miles away. It is further away from Chang'an, mainly because the area of Qinwangzhuang is larger. big.
Naturally, the road extending from this official road to Qinwangzhuang has been completely repaired.
The next day, after Li Chengqian went to court, he went directly to Qin Wangzhuang. Because of his foot disease, Li Chengqian naturally chose to take a carriage with Concubine Su.
Looking curiously at the deserted land outside the carriage, Concubine Su sighed with emotion: "The roads in Sanlang are really well built. If it weren't for these roads, we would have really suffered a lot while sitting in the carriage."
"It is true, so it is reasonable for Saburo to have such a high reputation in Chang'an City. Unfortunately, many ministers in the court do not recognize Saburo's ideas. They believe that Saburo has destroyed the labor environment near Chang'an City and will trigger a civil unrest. "Li Chengqian sighed.
Concubine Su smiled and did not answer. She was the Crown Princess and would also be the Queen in the future. She had to learn not to interfere in government affairs.
It was almost noon when the carriage was about to arrive. Because the road was flat, the speed of the carriage increased a lot, and neither of them suffered. But far away, Li Chengqian and Concubine Su saw a huge archway with strange expressions.
That's right, it's a huge archway, directly across the entire road, with three large gilded characters written on it: Qinwangzhuang. With this exaggerated archway, Concubine Su looked a little weird. Isn't this Saburo afraid of being impeached by the censor?
But soon she saw the inscription below the plaque: Li Shimin.
It was actually his father who inscribed it? Father, why did you write this? Concubine Su was stunned. In her impression, although Li Shimin might write inscriptions for some ministers, it was absolutely impossible for him to write inscriptions for the house. Li Shimin had never written for anyone else, but since Li Ke dared to write openly If it comes out, it definitely can’t be fake.
Beyond the archway, there are two square yards on both sides not far away. This should be the school grounds where the guards live.
More importantly, after passing the archway, on both sides of the concrete road, small square grids made of cement were neatly arranged. Inside, there were already planted half-sized saplings that were exactly the same and well-built. Su Fei recognized them at a glance. , is a maple tree.
There is an illusion here. In ancient times, maple trees did not refer to modern red maples, triangular maples and other maple trees. All the maple trees described in ancient books referred to one kind, which was the liquidambar tree. These two are not the same tree species at all. "Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are as red as the February flowers" refers to the liquidambar tree.
On both sides of the school grounds in front, there are two small pavilions at the entrance of the road, with guards standing guard inside.
Naturally, Li Chengqian's convoy did not need to stop. Li Chengqian's guards in front had already handed over to the other party's guards.
It's just that Qin Wangzhuang is completely different from what they thought... It feels like entering a town, not a village, and there is no wall surrounding it.
And the most important thing is, this Zhuangzi... always feels ridiculously big.
