Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1869 Excited

After roughly turning around in the factory, Su Cheng led Li Shimin and the others out. When they went out, Li Shimin and the others looked back frequently, with a look of reluctance.

Finally walked out of the factory, the voice was no longer so noisy, Su Cheng looked back at Li Shimin and the others who were a little distracted, a little speechless: "Okay, don't look, you don't understand machinery, what can you see?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Although I don't understand machinery, I can also see that using a steam engine to weave cloth is fast, and it can drive so many looms, which is very efficient."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "That's true. Using a steam engine to weave cloth is too efficient. If we build such a factory, how much cloth can we weave in a day?"

Cheng Yaojin grinned and said: "High efficiency is a good thing. We can weave more cloth. In the future, everyone will have clothes to wear. There will be no one in the world who is not fully clothed."

Li Shimin said with emotion: "Since ancient times, the biggest expectation of the people is to have enough food and clothing. Before there was corn and Zhenguan rice. In recent years, the grain has been abundant. There is no hunger in the Tang Dynasty. Once cotton comes out, the people of the Tang Dynasty are no longer afraid of the severe cold. Now With the steam loom again, everyone will have new clothes.”

It is impossible for everyone to have new clothes to wear, at least not in this era.

However, the price of silk cannot be lowered because of the price of silk, but the price of cotton and linen fabrics will be greatly reduced. At least many people who cannot afford new clothes can afford it, and many people who are in rags can wear complete clothes. Clothes, even if patched, that's what the steam loom is about.

So Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's just a steam loom, it's still too early for everyone to have new clothes, but the birth of the steam loom can indeed make more people have clothes to wear. This is the essence of technology." power and meaning."

First came muskets and cannons, then trains, then improvements in steelmaking technology, and now steam looms. Li Shimin also felt the power and significance of technology.

Li Shimin asked with concern: "The birth of the steam loom is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. What are your plans?"

There is no doubt that steam looms are of great commercial value.

Although the appearance of steam looms will bring down the price of cloth, small profits but quick turnover.

Moreover, the cloth can also be exported to foreign countries and overseas, which will definitely bring a lot of money.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I know what your Majesty means. Your Majesty wants to spread the steam loom. Of course, I am not a stingy person."

"However, Your Majesty also knows that I have to spend a lot of money to build the academy, and I have to raise so many students and teachers, and it costs a lot to conduct experiments. Last time, Your Majesty is going to use the improved steelmaking technology. I didn't say anything, I gritted my teeth and persevered, but the academy is already struggling, and the minister's family is almost in trouble."

Li Shimin couldn't help but blush when he heard this. He only rewarded the college teachers and students who participated in the experiment for the improved steelmaking technology last time, and Su Cheng didn't get any benefits.

This is really an empty-handed white wolf, and he is really embarrassed this time.

Li Shimin coughed dryly, waved his hands again and again and said, "You are thinking too much, I am the emperor, what use is this steam spinning technology?"

In fact, Li Shimin is also very keen on this steam spinning technology, but now he is a little embarrassed to speak up.

After all, he took away the steelmaking technology last time for nothing.

Although what Su Cheng said was a bit exaggerated, it was true that it cost a lot to build a college, and it cost a lot to raise so many students.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the master of the world. It is really useless to ask for this steam loom, but rest assured, if anyone wants a steam loom, as long as he is willing to spend it, I will sell it to him. I believe that the steam loom will be available soon." Expand."

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was very interested in steam looms, and since Su Cheng said that anyone could buy it, it was exactly what he wanted.

"Your idea is a good idea. It can be said that you are open-minded. It is for the country and the people. It can not only make up for the cost of building the college, but also spread the steam loom to benefit the world. It is a blessing." Changsun Wuji said happily. .

Li Xiaogong laughed and said: "Boy Su, it's a deal, and I can't go back on my word. This old man must come to buy your steam loom. You just have to ask for the price, and this old man will do what he can for the people of the world."

It is true to want all the people in the world to have clothes to wear, and it is true to want to use the steam loom to make money, so Li Xiaogong said very generously. Of course, he is also sure that Su Cheng will not cheat him.

Not only Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji, everyone was very moved, but now that the emperor is still there, they can't rush to snatch the steam loom immediately.

In fact, even Li Shimin himself was very moved, but he was the emperor after all, and he felt that he had to maintain his emperor's reserve.

At this moment, Li Shimin has understood the significance of the academy built by Su Cheng, and now he regrets not participating in it very much. It would be great if this academy was established by the imperial court.

It's a pity that the queen forced him to make an imperial decree, but now he can't go back on his word.

And he felt that what Su Cheng Institute of Construction was aiming at was definitely not just improving steelmaking technology and developing steam looms, so he was full of curiosity about what Su Cheng would do next.

"The steam loom has been successfully developed, what are your plans next?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "The plan? The plan is to run the school well and train these students well. I hope they can succeed in their studies and bring some changes to the world. I hope they can surpass me."

Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and the others all looked at Su Cheng in surprise, surpassing you?

are you crazy?

How can this be?

"How could they surpass you?" Changsun Wuji shook his head in disapproval. Su Cheng's intelligence is well known in the world, and even he admires it. How could those poor youngsters surpass Su Cheng?

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Learning is as vast as the sea. I only know the surface. I can point the way for them. After all, they need to explore by themselves."

Li Shimin didn't want to discuss whether the students could surpass Su Cheng. He pondered and asked, "Since you have developed the steam loom, don't you want to continue to develop it?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, apart from learning, there are many topics about steam engines in school, such as mining, printing, papermaking, irrigation, well digging, etc."

Li Shimin and others listened, their eyes widened, they were so excited.
