They don’t understand what a motor is, what electric energy utilization is, or what new energy is.
But they can intuitively see how fast this thing spins! The amount of yarn spun in such a short test time is even more than the amount of yarn spun by several people in one day!
Not only that, the point is that this yarn spins quickly and well!
After this thing is taken out, what will the family members have to fight for?
Li Shimin is not an emperor who doesn't eat fireworks from the world. He also knows very well how powerful this thing is. It can be said that if this thing becomes popular on a large scale, the spinning industry of all the powerful families in the Tang Dynasty will go bankrupt!
"Your Highness, this thing..." Fang Xuanling couldn't help but said.
"Oh, it cannot be promoted on a large scale at the moment. This kind of motor is extremely difficult to make. The insulation layer inside requires several kinds of natural tree paints. The collection amount is very small. Moreover, the cost of electricity is also very high in a short time. So in a short time It cannot be popularized." Li Ke said casually.
He was telling the truth. Judging from Datang's current industrial base, more than 80% of things like motors are done by hand. There is no way to complete production lines, so it does not have the foundation to be popularized.
In particular, the copper wire insulation layer inside the motor is a special paint that integrates electrical, mechanical, heat-collecting and chemical functions.
According to the industrial book records in the warehouse, a very small number of natural tree paints can be replaced by adding some additives using a simple process, but the types that can be replaced are very few and their lifespan is very short.
So this thing is not even as useful as a small steam engine. However, the chemical industry has begun to develop, and the preparation of three acids and two alkali has been basically completed. This is the basis of the modern chemical industry.
It can only be said that after reading the books in the warehouse, you will know how much hardship our ancestors put in to find alternatives in the early days when the country's industry was weak. All solutions have to be solved from scratch. Then find a way to solve it from existence to perfection.
"This... Your Highness, although we don't understand new technology, but considering this machine, it can be operated by someone shaking it by hand." Fang Xuanling pointed to the roller.
"Of course, otherwise why do you think I have made money in the past two years? Not only the spinning machines, but also the looms I have here are more efficient. Weaving, the spinning efficiency is only the current spinning and weaving efficiency of Datang. The cost can be a tenth or even a few tenths." Li Ke said lightly.
It's time to come up with some things. For Li Ke, now he no longer uses these basic industries to make money. In other words, Li Ke is going to play high-quality products, and the cloth and clothing business under his name will produce high-quality products.
The huge ordinary market is left to countless ordinary businessmen to start competition first.
It was impossible for Datang to rely on Li Ke's trading firm to support the entire business. It would definitely need other trading firms to carry out the business.
Besides, we don’t sell clothes, but we can sell machines for making clothes! This can also make money.
Moreover, Li Ke now hates the rich and powerful families burying their money. If he wants them to take out the money, he has to activate the entire business so that they all have to spend the money.
Let these businessmen compete with each other so that the people can make money.
Li Ke has already explained this to Li Shimin, so there is no need to go into details. Li Shimin can understand it. What's more, better clothes can be spread to the people's homes. When the people are rich, there is no shortage of clothes to wear. This is natural. The population gradually began to increase.
Li Ke is not like the people of the Tang Dynasty who wear the same pair of pants.
Everyone was completely speechless. They finally understood why Li Ke dared to challenge Changsun Wuji. If nothing else, these two things alone were enough for Li Ke to earn enough wealth.
"However, Your Highness, you have not fully disclosed this technology to the outside world?" Wei Zheng thought for a while and asked.
"Of course, if I made large-scale cloth, silk, etc. and entered the market, the Tang Dynasty's treasury would have collapsed long ago. You must know that the folk silks of the Tang Dynasty could be used as silk."
"It took until this year for the monetary landscape to change."
Li Ke's coin production has never stopped. In addition, the banknotes introduced by the Central Bank solved the large-scale copper coin market. After converting a large number of copper coins stored in aristocratic families into banknotes, these copper coins were used for circulation to ordinary people. The Tang Dynasty The money is barely enough for now.
But even so, the production of coins in the Tang Dynasty never stopped. According to the statistics of the Central Bank, the production will not stop until a certain point.
Everyone took a deep breath. As ministers of the Tang Dynasty, of course they knew that if Li Ke had such technology long ago, why it was not used on a large scale.
Even when there is a conflict between His Highness and a wealthy family, this trick is useless to His Highness.
If it were used at that time, the wealthy family might suffer heavy losses, but in the end it would definitely be the common people who would suffer heavy losses.
Because the people's affordability is low, they make some cloth and silk at home to use as taxes. If these large-scale price drops occur, you can imagine how hurt the farmers will be.
Only then did they feel how powerful Li Ke was. He had something in his hand, but he didn't use it at all if he had a backhand.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is indeed His Highness the King of Qin. For the sake of the people of the world, His Highness did not rashly bring out these technologies. Otherwise, the people of the world would have suffered heavy losses." Wei Zheng praised.
"That's not true. The main reason is that I have better ways to deal with these wealthy families. For example, all the businesses under my name have signed long-term contracts with people from all over the world to grow cotton and linen and cultivate silk."
"In other words, if I am willing, the raw materials that the world's wealthy families can obtain are the things grown in their own fields." Li Ke shrugged.
After the layout of some things is completed, even if you talk about it, there will be no problem, because even if you talk about it, they will not have a solution.
The purchase price that Li Ke signed with the people was not low. He purely relied on his advanced production technology to keep costs down. The cost of raw materials was not lowered. How could others compare prices with Li Ke?
All ministers: "..."
Most of the people here are related to aristocratic families. Li Ke's words made all of them break out in a cold sweat. It turned out that His Highness had cut off all of them's escape route unknowingly?
The main reason is that no one has ever been able to sign such a contract with most of the people in the world before, but now His Highness has done it.
In fact, it is not as difficult as they imagined.
Because the funds required are not that much, when these raw materials are produced, anyway, for Li Ke himself, even if he does not produce them himself, he will not lose money when selling these raw materials.
After all, they have mastered the raw materials, and other aristocratic families need raw materials if they want to produce silk, silk, etc.
"Now that His Highness has announced it, does he want to sell this kind of machine directly?" Duan Lun suddenly remembered several state-owned commercial banks that he had successfully registered some time ago.
There are many firms inside that specialize in manufacturing machines.
