Li Ke is at Tanchun Building in Pingkangfang. A lot of people came here today. I wonder if they heard that Li Ke came to visit the brothel yesterday. A lot of people came here today.
What exactly did these people come here to do? I believe many people know that it was to get closer to His Highness. Everyone knew what Li Ke said at the dock, so he established a shipping company, and His Highness earned everything back after one trip to sea. investment profits.
Is there such an easy way to make money in the world? His Highness only needs two and a half treasury. That is the treasury, the treasury! What is this concept? Such profits were enough to drive everyone crazy, and it was not like they had never done maritime trade before.
But are the families involved in the maritime trade making money? He must have made money, but it is far from His Highness. The two sides are not on the same level at all.
So of course these people are here to have a relationship with His Highness. What if His Highness has some new business next time and happens to think of them?
Even the owner of Tanchunlou came over today, but he didn't take the initiative to get closer. I heard that His Highness talked with Mingyuelou for a long time yesterday. I don't know what they talked about. Otherwise, he would just give Tanchunlou directly. Your Highness, you have it.
How much is a brothel worth? But after following His Highness, a little bit of it exposed between His Highness’s fingers would be enough for everyone to eat.
But what they didn't expect was that not long after His Highness arrived, a guard from outside rushed in and quickly said something to Huo Gang at the door. Huo Gang immediately walked to Li Ke's side and lowered his head to speak.
Because Huo Gang moves a lot and as the personal bodyguard of His Highness King Qin, almost everyone knows him. After all, he has been with His Highness for so many years.
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and everyone noticed that His Highness's expression was calm at first, but after Huo Gang didn't know what he said, His Highness's expression changed.
"Really?!" Li Ke stood up from his seat and asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes, Your Highness, this is news from the industrial area."
"Let's go!" Li Ke turned around and left without saying a word.
Huo Gang naturally followed, leaving everyone in the brothel looking at each other. What on earth happened? Huo Gang's voice was not loud, so they naturally didn't hear it.
When he went out, Li Ke jumped on his horse. Although they were not riding when they came over, the horses were always ready, and Li Ke would naturally not keep a low profile at this time.
Although there is a curfew in Chang'an City, can His Highness the King of Qin be like others? If His Highness the King of Yue or the like, they might still have to take care of it, but for His Highness the King of Qin, they have to get out of the way immediately and ask if there is any big problem.
Li Ke and his group of more than a hundred riders galloped wildly on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City. It was under curfew at this time and there was no one else on the street, but naturally there was Marquis Wu on patrol.
The patrolling Jinwu Guards had already had guards running in front shouting, so naturally no one stopped them. However, the captain in charge of the Jinwu Guards immediately reported the matter to his superiors. Such news must be spread to the palace. inner.
Li Ke was a little shocked. When he heard the news about the steam engine, he was completely confused, because he had not given the drawings of the steam engine to these craftsmen, nor even the theory of the steam engine to them.
In the end, these craftsmen made it themselves?
This... Li Ke didn't know if the steam engine they were talking about was the steam engine Li Ke himself recognized, but since the other party took the initiative to report it and said it was a major breakthrough, Li Ke naturally wanted to come and take a look.
According to Li Ke's original calculation, the past few years were a time for these craftsmen to strengthen their studies. Most of the craftsmen in Datang were only literate and understood things in their own industry, but did not understand many things across industries.
But for the future, many things must be cross-industry. For example, carpenters and blacksmiths must join forces to do many things.
So these few years are the learning time Li Ke has set aside for them. For example, many carpenters are not even literate, but they all follow their masters little by little and learn it all the time from childhood to adulthood.
This was the main teaching and inheritance method of ancient craftsmen. These carpenters all knew some mathematics, but they only understood some mathematics and did not know anything else.
In this way, many of the things they made are amazing. Li Ke gathered so many craftsmen, and more than 80% of them were almost illiterate. This is why he set aside so much time for study. .
They don't need to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. They only need to be literate and understand the meaning of these words, and then mathematics, basic physics, chemistry, biology and other knowledge. Of course, biological knowledge is just simple cognition.
His original idea was to wait until these craftsmen learned all this knowledge, and then give them the relevant drawings of the steam engine, let them understand the principles from the beginning, and then start manufacturing.
Steam engine Li Ke is really not in a hurry. Taking out and building some things can certainly bring huge benefits, higher efficiency, and lower costs.
But for Li Ke, the demand is not big, because he does not lack manpower now, or he hopes to use more people now, use all the idle people, and directly pile up people.
This is good for improving the entire country's economy, so he is not in a hurry for the steam engine. It is fundamental to build a good foundation.
And things are often so unexpected. When you ask them to lay the foundation, they do something unimaginable.
When Li Ke rushed out of the city, Li Shimin, who was in the palace, also got the news. The main reason was that such a big movement could not be reported by the Jinwu Guards.
"Do you know what it is?" Li Shimin thought for a moment and then asked.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, do you need to send someone to ask His Highness King Qin?"
"No, in this case, order the right guard general on duty to dispatch five thousand soldiers to the industrial zone and obey the orders of His Highness King Qin at any time." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"yes."
After Chang Lin left, Li Shimin thought for a while and then said, "Let's go back to Liangyi Hall."
"yes!"
He was originally at a talented person's place today, but now that he knows the news, he will definitely not be here anymore. He has to go back to Liangyi Palace. Although he doesn't know what it is, he will have to deal with it if something happens.
Looking at Li Shimin's leaving figure, the talented person behind him showed a resentful look. He finally waited for His Majesty once, but then left again, not knowing what happened.
