All this seemed to be under Li Ke's control. He raised his lips slightly and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your trust. I promise again that everyone can make money."
Everyone also trusted Li Ke very much. They didn't think highly of Li Ke's character, but Li Ke's ability to make money was unparalleled in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"I recently opened a cloth shop and made new cotton-padded clothes. In order to repay your investment in me, I will give each of your relatives a cotton-padded coat as a gift."
"Old Zhu, go get the cotton-padded clothes that the king has prepared for you."
Hai Zhu ran away and arrived outside the palace in one breath. He drove the two carriages that had been prepared outside the palace and arrived at the entrance of Qingshan Palace.
Then a group of eunuchs came out, and Haizhu took out the handbags made of linen from the carriage. Although the handbags were made of hemp rope, they looked quite exquisite. They were also embroidered with various patterns and shop signs on the outside. name.
It seems that Liu Yixuan was very careful. For fear that Li Ke would get confused, he also wrote the number on the handbag, and whose clothes the corresponding number belonged to was written on a piece of paper.
After a while of burning incense, the eunuch and the palace maid stood in a row with their handbags in hand, allowing everyone in the store to look at them curiously.
"No. 1 belongs to the Supreme Emperor, No. 2 belongs to Concubine Wan Gui, No. 3 belongs to His Majesty, and No. 4 belongs to the Queen..."
Hai Zhu took the notes and started handing them out one by one.
Li Yuan got the handbag and took out the cotton coat out of curiosity. It was a coat with a fur collar, and the fur collar was made of mink, which was very soft.
Li Yuan didn't care about what was appropriate or inappropriate, so he tried it on on the spot. Concubine Wan Guifei helped, and her eyes widened immediately when she saw how Li Ke wore it and put it on his body.
"Ke'er, what is this made of and why is it so warm?"
Li Ke smiled and said: "The clothes are filled with swan down, and the fur collar is mink produced in Goguryeo. Wearing it, you won't feel cold at all."
"And the real purpose of these clothes is not for us people. At home, we have houses to protect us from the wind and rain, and we can warm ourselves by the fire when it's cold. But the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for the Tang Dynasty in the border areas don't have houses to protect us from the wind and rain. rain……"
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent while holding the cotton clothes in their hands, even Li Chengqian fell silent.
Li Shimin sighed: "Ke'er has made another new contribution. With these cotton-padded clothes, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will no longer suffer from the cold at the border."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "You're the one who will cause trouble. This has inadvertently solved the problem of cold soldiers at the border."
"Boy, I'm afraid you are taking this clothes today not just as a gift, but because you want your father to pay for it and order a large quantity of these cotton-padded clothes for the benefit of the soldiers on the frontier, right?"
Li Ke smiled slightly, it must be the old man, this assist is good!
Li Ke followed Li Yuan's words and bowed down to ask for orders: "Father, I would like to ask my father to order this kind of cotton-padded clothes for the border officers and soldiers."
"Of course, the cotton-padded clothes worn by border officers will not be so exquisite. They only need to keep warm."
Li Shimin pondered for a long time and did not agree to Li Ke's request for a long time. It was not that he did not want to make life easier for the soldiers on the frontier. The main reason was that there was not much money left in the treasury. Looking at the appearance of the clothes, even the kind of clothes that could only withstand the wind and cold were probably very fragile. expensive.
"Ke'er, if you order clothes that can only protect against wind and cold, how much does one piece cost?"
Li Ke cupped his hands and said: "If it is made by another cloth workshop, I am afraid that one piece of clothing must cost more than 500 renminbi, but if the imperial court funds and builds a factory, 300 renminbi for a piece of clothing is enough." M.biQuge.biZ
Li Shimin was immediately interested. The imperial court established workshops. Didn't the imperial court have a Ministry of Industry and a cloth workshop?
"How does this work?"
"My father can establish a military workshop outside the imperial court, appoint officials, and recruit workers. From spinning to weaving and making clothes, everything is managed by the military workshop. In this way, the cost will definitely be reduced. "
"If you still want to be low-key, you can leave the spinning, weaving, and clothing making work to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. There are so many prisoners in the prison, and they only eat, drink, and defecate every day, and you don't need any money?"
"What's wrong with letting them do something?"
"These prisoners can undergo labor reform. Those with outstanding performance will not be unable to have their sentences commuted or released early. After they come out, they will be able to find a craft. They can work in a workshop to support themselves, or they can open their own tailor shop. , you can also make money, right?”
"In this way, the probability of those released prisoners committing crimes again will be greatly reduced. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Li Shimin slapped his thigh instantly and laughed: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!"
"My son is really a genius."
"Hahaha……"
Li Tai had to be impressed when he heard Li Ke's unconstrained ideas, but he just couldn't give in. Why could this guy think of it but he couldn't?
But so what if he didn't expect it, he could just wait and pick the fruits of victory, and make Li Ke angry to death.
So he bowed decisively and said: "Father, I am willing to serve as the director of the military workshop to solve problems for the soldiers at the border of the Tang Dynasty."
"My son has this confidence. As for the lack of money in the treasury, Father, don't worry. My son still has some money in Jiangdong. He can temporarily divert it and return it to Jiangdong when the military factory makes money."
Li Shimin frowned, this method was thought up by Li Ke, and it should be left to Li Ke to handle it. He felt relieved that Li Ke could handle the matter, but Qingque wanted to take the lead.
"My son is willing to issue a military order. If I fail to complete this task, I am willing to bear the thorn and plead guilty and let my father punish me."
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked, "King Shu, this idea came from you, what do you think?"
Li Ke said with a smile: "Since the fourth brother wants to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, I naturally support it with both hands."
Damn it, I'm afraid that if you mess things up, the border soldiers will eat you alive.
This down jacket is not a trade secret. Anyone who cares can understand the reason after taking it apart. However, they cannot mass-produce it and cannot imitate it at all.
But he, Li Ke, is capable. The workshop under Tianhejian has already produced a sewing machine according to the drawings he drew.
The speed of making clothes is extremely fast. When the workshop makes a spinning machine, the cloth in this world will be like paper, and all the extraordinary will be able to break through in an instant.
Cloth will no longer be linked to copper coins and will become hard currency. In today's Tang Dynasty, silk and satin are actually linked to copper coins. Even for taxes and corvee, silk and satin can be handed over.
He wants to pull all these people onto the pirate ship now. Whatever he wants to do, everyone in the world will have to make way for him.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it in vain because his father also invested.
But now that Li Tai has taken the lead, let’s suppress it for the time being!
When Li Ke is disgraced, he will definitely make a fortune by starting work on his own.
Li Ke doesn't want to compete with Li Tai for the limelight now. His main purpose now is to build roads. This is the big head, the down jacket, how much money can be earned from that thing.
When Li Ke's cement factory, brick factory, and battlefield start construction, Li Tai will be stunned for a moment.
When the majestic cities in the northwest are erected and merchants gather in the northwest, Li Shimin will be dumbfounded.
When he opens up the farmland in the northwest and grows potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops, everyone in the world will be dumbfounded.
