Chapter 1808
Xuan Shijing understood what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, but he was afraid that the improved loom would spread to the grassland, so those tribes on the grassland could not rely on Datang at all, because with the machine, they could do it themselves. If it is done, the finished product can be dumped into the territory of Datang in turn, earning enough money.

"But what if this improved loom is acquired by the tribes on the grassland?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"If the folk businessmen feel that there is a huge profit to be made in this business, they will not let the barbarians intervene in this business." Xuan Shijing said: "After all, if the barbarians intervene, they will not be able to make money. Here comes the money."

"You mean, the businessmen of Datang will not let the barbarians do this business?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Exactly, the improved loom belongs to the Engineering College. Even if the loom is sold out, it is the Engineering College who sells it to others. The Engineering College can still control it. , Moreover, after each batch of machines is sold, a registration will be made, the buyer, the quantity, even if the Hu people bought the loom through some channels, the first question is whether they will use it, even if they will Yes, then the second question, can their products be sold to Datang? Do the merchants of Datang allow them to rob them of their business? It is Datang who can eat these things the most, not the barbarians on the grassland." Xuan Shijing said.

Datang's consumer market is not comparable to the barbarians on the grassland.

Datang has this batch of improved looms. The raw materials obtained from the grassland, and the things made are also the first to be supplied to the interior of Datang, that is, domestic sales. As for the people on the grassland, they want to sell things to Datang. , It also depends on whether Datang buys it or not. The merchants of Datang allow the barbarians on the grassland to erode the interests that should belong to them.

Even if the worst result comes out, isn't there still a court?The imperial court can take targeted measures, such as raising taxes on foreign countries. Once taxes are raised on them, their prices will definitely go up. However, local merchants in Datang have no such worries. The prices are stable, and the common people will definitely choose cheap ones. of.

Anyway, after the loom is improved, it is not used to cheapen the barbarians.

Hearing what Xuan Shijing said, His Majesty Li Er felt a little relieved.

"If that's the case, let's try to do it." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Empress." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands.

"If you want me to contribute, Jinger, have you thought about what benefits you want to give me?" Empress Changsun looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile and asked.

Speaking of this question, if this matter is done well, it will be of great benefit to Datang, right?How can there be more benefits?

Even though he thought so, Xuan Shijing didn't dare to refute Empress Changsun like that.

"Why don't we provide the Empress with [-] improved looms for free?" Xuan Shijing asked tentatively.

"Twenty Taiwan? Is Jing'er getting a little petty?" said Empress Changsun.

"The empress doesn't know something." Xuan Shijing started his own mode of pouring bitter water: "A new thing was researched by a student and reported to the Ministry of Industry. The reward from the Ministry of Industry was only a dozen guan. What is enough money for more than a dozen pennies? It’s not even enough to buy materials, so the students in the academy do research, buy materials, including the results of students’ research, all of which are paid by the academy itself. The materials purchased in the early stage are just It costs a lot of money, and after the results come out, the rewards to the students are at least a few hundred guan. You can’t let the students get nothing after spending all their time working on the results, right? If you pay, you will be rewarded. If you really get it out, it will be beneficial to the people Benefits, things that are beneficial to Datang, the Academy has never hesitated to reward, just say that the benefits of the improved loom to Datang, how much do your majesty and empress think, are they worth?"

When Xuan Shijing asked such a question, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun couldn't answer.

There is no doubt that after the improvement of the loom, it is an invaluable treasure for Datang, and its value is immeasurable when dealing with the grassland.

How much would it cost to buy such a thing from a student?No one can tell the price.

"It is true that this thing is placed in different places, and its value is not the same. No matter who it is, no matter what year it is, no matter what it is, the contribution is always proportional to the return. Students will definitely get what they pay. , and the academy has paid, so it can’t be a money-losing business, right?” Xuan Shijing said: “So this matter, it’s really not a stingy minister, twenty improved looms are not a small price.”

Speaking of it, no matter how Xuan Shijing quibbles in front of the emperor, even if what he said is reasonable, it is all reasonable, but speaking of it, the academy is still making money, not to mention selling improved looms in the future. The money that came was for Empress Changsun to speak for the loom and be responsible for promoting it. The [-] improved looms were really worth it.

Isn't this the reason why later generations invite celebrities to advertise?

These days, most of the handicraft industry is done by women. Who is the highest status of women in the entire Tang Dynasty?Empress Changsun!
This kind of nationality is not comparable to those starlets of later generations, this is the mother of the country.

The mother of the country persuaded Nongsang to gain fame and real benefits. Although the improved loom is not considered Nongsang, it is still a handicraft industry. It can promote the prosperity of the Tang handicraft industry, which is also a merit.

"A lot of nonsense." Empress Changsun said angrily.

"Yes yes yes." Xuan Shijing responded again and again: "Empress Empress, this engineering college is still managed by His Royal Highness Wei Wang, it is the college under the name of Wei Wang, you have the heart to let your son do business at a loss? "

Li Tai, King of Wei, is the son of Empress Changsun, and he has a different interest from his son-in-law.

Half a son-in-law, Li Tai is the real son.

"This boy, maidservant of Guanyin, you can't beat him. It's not easy to take advantage of this boy." His Majesty Li Er heard Xuan Shijing say this, laughed, and persuaded Empress Changsun to accept the fact that she couldn't take advantage of it. It's not bad to get twenty improved looms for nothing.

"What your Majesty said is that this kid has been refined since he was a child, and he is also glib, but he is really capable." Empress Changsun said: "Okay, as you said, twenty improved looms, as soon as possible Send it to Huangzhuang."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands in response.

The royal family has a Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Chang'an. The Huangzhuang was originally in charge of the farming of the Tian family. Every spring, the role of the Huangzhuang comes out. Now where are the twenty improved looms sent? Huangzhuang will become the workshop of Empress Changsun.
