Datang: Investment Overlord Xiang Yu at the beginning

At this time, inside the Chang’an Imperial Palace, in a side hall.

“Are you sure you can guarantee the weaver’s income?”

Li Shimin, who was dressed in a yellow robe, frowned and asked after listening to Li Ke’s words.

At this time, the stakes are very important, and half of the national economy and people’s livelihood are at stake, so he must not be careless.

“Father, the sons and daughters recently opened the first sewing workshop with Chang’an as a pilot, and after using their processing fees as a variable tax to increase costs, the Royal Chamber of Commerce can also make money, and the wages of the participating textile ladies are five times higher than those of themselves.”

Li Kei said: “And the overall price of cloth has also decreased, in the past few days, even if they are landless people, many have changed into new clothes, and the weather in Chang’an City has been new!” ”

“As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, you said that everyone in Chang’an City is wearing new clothes, the price of cloth has fallen, and the income of the weaver has increased, then there must be people who suffer losses in the middle, who is the loss?”

Although Li Shimin does not understand economics very well, he also has the logic of the law of conservation of interests, so he asked the most critical point.

After all, there are gains and losses, gains and losses, and there must be losses.

The point is, who loses the benefits?

“If the father has to say that someone has lost, then the person who lost can only be a son.”

Li Ke’s words made Li Shimin stunned.

“You… Sticking money? ”

Li Shimin’s majestic face was full of doubt.

Li Ke’s style he knows that it is impossible to suffer losses, but he can always miraculously find a win-win way.

“Father Emperor, if you earn less is a loss, there are indeed losses, take the initiative to increase the cost, and use a large amount of cloth to suppress the price of cloth, it seems that we have earned a lot less, in fact, the cost of our manufacturing cloth is far less than the pure handmade cloth of the Great Tang, even if the current cloth price is reduced by half, the children will not be able to say that they will put money!”

Li Kehe smiled and said: “If the children use cloth slightly below the market price to be directly dumped in the Tang Dynasty, and even the sewing is directly carried out in the Yin Kingdom and Goguryeo, then the children will make a profit, but they are also fishing in the water, and what the children want is a healthy economic cycle and balance.” ”

“How much lower is the cost?”

Li Shimin frowned and asked.

“At most, it is only one-fiftieth of the cost of a horse of cloth handmade by the Great Tang.”

Li Kei shook his head.

According to the process of pure handmade by Datang, the weaver needs to take care of herself from the raw materials to the final cloth, and it takes eight days for a horse of linen to dry, another five days for spinning, eight days for weaving, and almost a month for a horse of cloth.

And Li Ke’s textile factory, the whole process is systematic, raw material manufacturing and weaving are almost at the same time, coupled with eighteenth-century technology, a horse of cloth molding only takes less than two hours, and a windmill can drive seven or eight spinning machines to operate, how can labor compare?

Something that is not at all on an order of magnitude.

“Hiss…”

Li Shimin finally couldn’t maintain his calmness, and after gasping for air, his majestic face was full of shock!

“No wonder, no wonder you can get back so much cloth in a while, and you can still have a stable supply, and the power of the Great Tang Dynasty may not be able to produce the cloth that your kid got in a month.”

He shook his face with embarrassment, his eyes a little dazed.

At this moment, he really wanted to pry Li Ke’s head open, and then see if the brain inside was different from others.

Even, someone else’s brain pulp is white, this kid’s brain pulp … Golden?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin’s eyes roamed back and forth above Li Ke’s head, and that look made Li Ke’s heart bristle.

“According to the survey of the children, the proportion of the number of women who can weave in the Great Tang is 40 out of 100, and the five million women of the Great Tang can theoretically produce cloth in six months in spring and autumn, and the annual output is less than 12 million horses.”

Li Kei said with a serious expression: “This output is just half a month’s output in the territory of the children’s ministers now. ”

“Hiss… So much, the people of the Great Tang can run out!? ”

Li Shimin gasped again, looking shocked.

“Father Emperor, if it is still like the original, the people will have less than three or five sets of clothes in a lifetime, it is indeed not exhausted, if it is to change one set a year, and then divide it into spring and autumn, I am afraid that this output is not enough for domestic sales in the Great Tang.”

Li Kei said with a serious look.

Eighteen million people in the Great Tang, if a horse of cloth is made into modern clothes, T-shirts and pants can make twelve sets of summer clothes, but if it is an ancient costume, and it must be thickened to make it durable, after one set of ready-to-wear, the remaining scraps are at most enough to make a swaddling.

Costume Feib is real.

So it’s also true that death is expensive.

Therefore, it is absolutely possible that the poor cannot afford to wear clothes and do not cover their bodies.

It is understandable that slightly poor people only change a set of clothes in three or five or even ten years, make short robes as much as possible, and regard clothes as everyone’s belongings.

However, it is also a pot with an extreme lack of productivity.

“Good, great, a large number of people in Chang’an have changed into new clothes today, Ke’er, this credit alone is enough to be famous in history!”

Li Shimin said with some excitement.

“So the father and the emperor don’t need to worry about affecting anyone, all the costs of the royal chamber of commerce of the children’s ministers have already been borne by the Great Tang, only responsible for getting better, the people are only responsible for eating, clothing, warmth, good life and work, and all the remaining problems, the children will solve it!”

Seeing Li Shimin’s excited appearance, Li Kei smiled and gave him a burst of chicken blood again.

“Well, in that case, the affairs of the national economy and people’s livelihood are entrusted to you! At the beginning, I decisively supported you against all odds, and I pressed the right treasure, hahaha! ”

Li Shimin patted Li Ke’s shoulder with a look of approval on his face, and with such force that even Li Ke’s teeth grinned.

After the talks, Li dispelled some of Li Shimin’s concerns.

However, the court still showed a certain degree of concern about the popularity of the cloth made by Li Ke.

“King Yan, in this way, how can the livelihood of those merchants who used to collect cloth for resale be guaranteed?”

In the early dynasty the next day, Du Ruxian asked Li Kei in court.

“When they first collected cloth, they took the productivity of the people into their hands, and the king did not see that they could improve the life of the weavers. Moreover, since there are more and more cloths, and the people can afford to consume them, they do not transform into ready-to-wear clothes, and still think of buying cloth to absorb the people’s fat and people’s ointment, they do not die, what is the use? ”

Li Kei smiled coldly, and Du Ruxian had nothing to say in a word.

“That… Our women in the Great Tang Dynasty will never weave cloth, so aren’t they female generals and not women? ”

A sentence by Lu Kuan, Shang Shudou of the Ministry of Etiquette, almost made Li Ji laugh.

I’ve heard of a national general not a country, but I really haven’t heard of what a female general is not a woman…
