People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 441 Hydro Spinning Wheel
Looking at the piles of grain, Li Zheng told Xu Jingzong: "All the hundred thousand shi of old grain will be given to Lu Dongzan."

Xu Jingzong nodded and recorded this matter in the book.

Li Zheng went on to say: "Go to the posthouse and ask Xue Yantuo's Ashina and the envoys of the East Turks, and ask them if they want grain for [-] yuan a bucket of rice."

"Twenty cents a dou?" Xu Jingzong looked back at Chen Liang behind him, and the new grain he received was only fifteen cents a dou.

While writing Li Zheng's instructions on the brochure, Xu Jingzong hesitated and said, "I'm afraid they won't want it, the price is a bit expensive."

"I know they don't want it, but I just want them to know that I am the person with the most food in the entire Guanzhong."

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng suspiciously.

Li Zheng looked in the direction of West Turkic and said, "Don't worry, my grain will not be at this price in three months."

Li Zheng's words recorded by Xu Jingzong.

On the second day, Ashina met Xu Jingzong at the posthouse. After hearing what the other party said, Ashina sneered and said, "The grain collected by Li Zheng for [-] yuan, will you sell it to us for [-] yuan a bucket?"

Xu Jingzong explained: "Nowadays, the grain in Jingyang is piled up like a mountain, and the Chang'an order means that they want to sell it."

Ashina sneered, "If I really bought Li Zheng's food, I would be a fool."

Understanding the attitude of the other party, Xu Jingzong stood up and said: "I still have a lot of things to do, so I will take my leave first."

Ashina glanced at Xu Jingzong with disdain, "No."

Before Xu Jingzong walked out of the post house, he also took a look at the room of Lu Dongzan and the Western Turkic envoy.

The person is gone, and the luggage is gone.

Wang Ding handed over all the 60 shi of old grain to Li Yifu.

Half a month later, Xu Jingzong came with a cartful of gold and said, "Chang'an Order, here is 50 guan of gold, if you have enough, you will count."

Li Zheng divided the money according to the old rules, and Tubo only took away one hundred thousand shi of grain. As for the current Jingyang, there are nearly one million shi of grain.

It seems that all the grain in Guanzhong is being dumped to Jingyang.

After all, there is a guy who is stupid and has a lot of money, and he has spent all his wealth.

It would be great to be able to sell these inexhaustible old grains for money.

Keep some at home for emergencies.

Now Jingyang is still collecting grain, showing no signs of stopping.

The price is still in accordance with the original price, and there is no price reduction.

Daniu came with some eggs and meat dishes, "Teacher, this is a gift from another village."

"Sent?"

Daniel scratched the back of his head and said: "It is said that our price is high, and I am a little embarrassed to take the money, so I sent some more meat and vegetables."

Li Zheng nodded, "Then accept it."

Daniel said again: "There are many outside the village."

"Everything that is delivered should be accepted, and the unfinished meat and vegetables should be handed over to Duhu."

"understood."

Daniel left happily.

Li Zheng said with emotion: "People see that I am being taken advantage of and keep collecting food and money, and they see that I am too wronged and come to give money. The folk customs of Datang are really simple."

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Chang'an Ling, Xinxin has already gone to Tubo."

The satisfactory arrangement was to be a silent business rival, and Li Zheng was no longer interested in the war between Tubo and Western Turks.

I don't know if the Western Turkic thug can deal with the Eastern Turkic.

The East Turks are not easy to deal with, and there are many war horses in the East Turks.

Wang Ding returned to Chang'an and reported to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty's grain has been sold, and the old grain of 60 shi at the price of four qian per bucket has been sold to Li Zheng, totaling 180 million guan."

In addition to the fact that Li Zheng sent 20 guns to buy and sell weapons this time, Li Shimin saw a windfall in front of him, "How much money does Li Zheng have? Will this money hurt Li Zheng?"

Wang Ding replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has recently imitated more than 300 tricycles."

"All distributed to Longwu Army."

"Here."

Next year is the day when the prince will get married, and the Ministry of Rites has been very busy recently.

A group of aunts in the village gathered around the newly made spinning wheel.

The hydraulic semi-automatic spinning wheel is very novel, and I have never seen such a magical spinning wheel.

Li Zheng carefully operated the spinning wheel, and finally made a one-foot-long cotton cloth, and the one-foot-long cotton cloth was loosely torn when it was pulled.

Noticing the disdainful eyes of the aunts around, Li Zheng quickly said: "It may be that some details have not been adjusted properly, I will adjust it again."

I fiddled with it for a long time and tried more than ten times.

Seeing Li Zheng fail again and again, the aunts really couldn't stand it, and came to help one after another.

The aunts in the village were already very proficient in using things like textile machines.

After several reminders from my aunts, I finally understood the problem.

After re-making the plywood, I can finally make a decent cotton cloth.

Yan Liben also held a pamphlet in his hand, recording Li Zheng's changes to the spinning wheel.

The aunts adapted quickly to the use of the spinning wheel.

Moreover, such a hydraulic semi-automatic spinning machine is also very simple to use.

A spinning wheel and three aunts can start producing cloth together.

The next thing is much simpler, and some aunts in the village are divided to make cotton thread.

The rest was used to run the new water-powered spinning wheel.

Yan Liben and his class of craftsmen started to make spinning wheels along the riverbank, and ten such spinning wheels could be built along the river bank in Jingyang.

Li Yifu made overall arrangements, Xu Hui was in charge of accounting, and Xu Jingzong was in charge of diplomacy outside the village.

Li Zheng found himself idle again.

Today is the day after Li Zhi returned to Chang'an to visit his father and queen mother. Li Zheng sent him several batches of cotton cloth he had made into the palace.

Empress Changsun took the cotton cloth brought back by Li Zhi and felt the texture in her hands, "Is this cloth made of silk?"

Li Zhi shook his head, "The teacher said this is made of cotton, not silk."

Sitting beside her mother, Li Lizhi also looked at the cotton cloth, "This kind of cloth is so soft."

Empress Changsun also made clothes on weekdays. In the past, Li Shimin's business was still before King Qin ascended the throne, and the life of King Qin's mansion was also very tight.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, life in the palace was also difficult. At that time, the clothes of the princesses and princes were all made by themselves.

Empress Changsun is very familiar with fabrics and knows what kind of fabric is suitable for what kind of clothes.

"Although Li Zheng's fabric is not as good as silk in terms of texture, it is much better than the outer silk fabric. It is very comfortable to use and can be used as an inner garment."

Li Zhi quickly added: "My queen, Li Zheng actually has another unfeeling request, but I don't know if my mother will agree."

"What unkind request?"

"Li Zheng said that if the mother can sell more of this kind of cloth to the rich and powerful, the mother will be an endorsement later, and after opening the market, she will send a lot of cotton cloth to the palace every month."

Empress Changsun was a little surprised.

Li Lizhi turned her head in disdain and said, "Does this Li Zheng only have business in his eyes, hmph! He is still desperate for money."
