Li Ke saw everyone whispering, and he was not afraid of exposing things like sewing machines, and now that the exposure was better, these people would work hard. They really wanted to obtain such advanced things.
Businessmen pursue profits, and Li Ke is also a businessman. He understands the situation of businessmen better. As long as they have money, they dare to betray the country, let alone work hard for money.
"A sewing machine can sew clothes quickly. Let me tell you this, if a piece of clothing is cut and you want to sew it, using a sewing machine can take one person and one stick of incense more than enough time."
"Furthermore, the stitches of the sewn clothes are of the same size, and even the errors are very small."
"Of course, I am talking about clothes worn by ordinary people. Noble people have their own tailors and do not need clothes of this quality."
"This thing has been developed in my workshop and will be put on the market after mass production."
Damn it!
Everyone present has actually run the cloth business. Even if they have not run the cloth business, they still have to wear clothes!
The clothes they usually wear are all sewn by hand. It takes about a day to sew a piece of clothing, and even some noble people's clothes take several days or even years.
Even for ordinary clothes, it takes two or three hours.
A piece of clothing worn by ordinary people only requires the work of a stick of incense. This is simply an artifact!
How much cost will this save?
"May I ask His Highness the King of Qin, how much does this sewing machine cost?"
"Things are rare and expensive, but they should never be greater than their value. If it is too expensive, it is better to sew it manually. However, I will never sell it to anyone. Only those who have made meritorious service to the court can obtain it. Right to sell.”
"At that time, I will only accept one hundred strings."
hiss!
Everyone was overjoyed. They didn't expect that one machine only cost a hundred guan. But they didn't know that the sewing machine was actually worth ten guan if mass-produced. The main reason was that the iron used on it was a bit expensive and the rest was made of wood.
Seeing the stunned veterans, Li Ke once again released a shocking news.
"Everyone, I have some good news to tell you. My workshop has developed a large-scale spinning machine and a large-scale loom powered by water."
"A large water-powered spinning machine can spin one hundred to two hundred kilograms of yarn. As for the loom, it can weave fifty pieces of cloth a day. It is not impossible to improve it to one hundred pieces in the future."
Everyone was dumbfounded. At present, taking weaving as an example, the most powerful people can only weave one piece of cloth, and they are all at the level of gods. Now a machine can weave a hundred pieces of cloth without people?
But when King Qin spoke, he always had a purpose.
If that's the case, this cloth will be very profitable in the future.
"King Qin, how much do these spinning machines and looms cost?"
"The production process of this thing is complicated, and it cannot be mass-produced for the time being. When the process is improved in the future, I will sell it to meritorious people at the cost price."
"Not much, just three to five thousand strings."
The merchants below all showed joy on their faces. It was indeed not expensive, only three to five thousand guan, but the prerequisite was that there must be merit.
Every businessman has begun to swear in his heart that he will make great achievements this time and buy sewing machines, spinning machines, looms...
By then, the money will be rolling in.
"Everyone, you should go back and prepare now. Follow the orders of the Ministry of Household Affairs and do not act recklessly. Anyone who dares to act recklessly and ruin the king's important affairs will be killed by the king."
"We obey!"
Li Ke looked at the envious postal officials and said with a smile: "Postal officials obey orders. This time you all obey the instructions of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Those with meritorious deeds will be rewarded. Promotion and wealth are not a dream. You can even get a title."
The eyes of the postal officials suddenly lit up. It was not a dream to get promoted and make a fortune, and they could even be awarded a knighthood.
If they had a title, they would have entered the ranks of nobles, and the ancestral graves would start to smoke.
The opportunity to make meritorious deeds is right in front of them, it's up to them whether they can seize it.
"Everyone, I won't keep you here. Go back and prepare as soon as possible."
"Yes, we obey!"
Everyone stood up and left quickly, fearing that if they walked too slowly and were not fully prepared, they would lose the chance to make meritorious deeds.
Li Ke sent these people away, and then Li Shuwan walked in.
"Your Majesty..."
"Are you angry anymore?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
Li Shuwan rolled her eyes at Li Ke and said resentfully: "I really scared you just now. What were you doing in the study? The ground was shaking and a woman's cry was heard..."
Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that I am the King of Qin, my burden is heavier, and I will be feared by many people, and some people will even monitor me."
"This king is just trying to deceive others."
"The study is an important area. From now on, no one is allowed to enter except you and me, not even my father. Do you understand?"
Seeing how serious Li Ke was, Li Shuwan immediately became serious, bowed slightly and said, "My lord, please rest assured, we are a family. I will keep the study under guard. Even a fly cannot fly in."
Li Shuwan also knew that all the treasures of the palace were stored in the secret room under the study, and they must not be lost.
Speaking of treasures, Li Shuwan becomes a tigress guarding food.
The two big watery eyes were instantly full of vigilance and murderous intent.
No one can mess with the treasure of the palace. If anyone cares about the treasure of the palace, she will fight to the death with anyone.
Li Ke smiled, walked to Li Shuwan, took his hand, touched his forehead, there was a red mark, and said with a smile: "Does it still hurt?"
Li Shuwan was angry, she straightened her cheeks, and said with a threatening expression: "You are not allowed to act recklessly in front of others in the future, and you are not allowed to play with me. It hurts me to death."
"Okay, okay, I'm so happy today. I got some good things. I'll give them to you to wear tonight."
Li Shuwan's cheeks turned red, the prince was a dishonest person.
All day long, he would tinker with embarrassing things.
"My lord, can you be more serious?"
"The true nature of a man, how can you tell me to be serious? I'm not out looking for flowers, I'm just not serious about you..."
"Oh, it's getting late, let's go to bed..."
"ah?"
"It's not dark yet? You haven't even eaten dinner!"
Li Ke chuckled, picked up Li Shuwan and said, "You can eat it when you wake up!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's... um..."
At midnight.
Li Ke hugged the princess, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Shu Wan, I am leaving again."
"Uuuuuuuuuah... I know."
Li Shuwan cried suddenly. She heard about it, so she was in a bad mood today. Normally, she wouldn't care about what Li Ke did!
"In this expedition to the Western Regions, I, the King, will take the place of my father and will not be on the front line. Don't worry."
"But I heard that the war situation in the Western Region suddenly became corrupt. There are many masters. This matter is not simple at all."
"Father wrote a letter to mother. Every sentence in the letter seems to be conveying his last words..."
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back. I don't know how to face it..."
Li Ke hugged Li Shuwan tightly and kept comforting her, but Li Ke didn't know how powerful the enemy he faced this time was.
"Don't worry, with me here, your father and brothers will come back safe and sound, and we will all come back well."
"I am just worried about you. After I leave, you must be careful not to leave the palace at will. I am afraid that someone will do something to you. You are my only weakness."
