Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 40 The Great Tang Out-of-Print Set
Seeing that everyone was full of curiosity but didn't open their mouths, Changsun Wuji took the lead and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you? Where is the dragon robe?"

Li Er laughed and said, "Dragon robe? The dragon robe can't solve our current problems. This suit looks weird, but it's out of print in the Tang Dynasty. It's the only one in the world, and it's our plan to make a fortune."

"A plan to get rich? Your Majesty, aren't you going to sell clothes?" Gao Shilian, who was in charge of money and food, asked.

This Gao Shangshu is the uncle of Empress Changsun. At the time, the two brothers and sisters of Empress Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun were living outside, and they were adopted by Uncle Gao Shilian.

"Selling clothes? No, no, no, I don't sell clothes, but technology. To be precise, it's the technology of making clothes." Li Er explained.

technology?
Everyone didn't realize that Tang's silk technology is indeed good, but everyone knows this stuff, so do you still need to buy it from the court?

At this time, Du Ruhui, who had been in deep thought, asked tentatively: "Could it be that the clothes on His Majesty are not made of silk? Are you going to sell the silk weaving technology of this new material?"

Li Er clapped his palms and praised: "Sure enough, Keming is smart, that's true, why don't you guess again, who will I sell this technology to?"

Everyone watched the monarch and his ministers play riddles. Du Ruhui frowned and thought for a moment, then pondered: "Your Majesty said just now that this thing can solve our current problem, that is, use it to deal with the northern Turks."

"Keming, is it possible that selling clothes to the Turks will make them retreat? Even if you give them clothes, they won't know it." Gao Shilian reminded.

Du Ruhui chuckled, "Of course not. I think what Your Majesty means is that this can be used to solve the current money and food problem. The Tang Dynasty has a large army that can resist the northern Turkic army, but it suffers from not having enough food.

And this technology must be far superior to silk craftsmanship, reaching the point where it can be sold.As for who to sell it to, the minister guessed that it was either sold to the silk merchants inherent in Datang in exchange for money to mobilize grain, or it was sold to the major families. "

"Okay, okay, okay, Keming is the one who knows me! Not bad at all." Li Er gave a thumbs up.

Then he took off his woolen jacket and passed it on to the counselors to watch, "Let's pass it on for a look. You won't need to take off your trousers. It's not easy to wear once. You are all people who have experienced many trials and hardships. You may see What kind of material is this?"

It's very soft to the touch, this is summer, if it's winter, I'm afraid it can be warmed by the touch, Changsun Wuji guessed.

Fang Xuanling noticed a small gap on the lower edge of the clothes, and reached out to pinch a little bit of thread, but couldn't pull it. Although Li Er felt distressed, he still asked someone to bring scissors.

Kaka!

"Don't, don't, don't...Xuanling, a little bit is enough, why did you cut a big gap? How can you wear this? Your Majesty said, but it's out of print, this is the only set, can you afford to pay if it's broken? ?” Du Ruhui pulls the housing Xuanling.

The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched, he laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to pay."

Tang Jian stretched out his hand, "Master Fang, come and let me cut a piece and observe it."

... Li Er panicked, hurried over to stop him, and reached out to take the clothes.

"Everyone, you can tell the whole leopard from a glimpse, and the one in Xuanling's hand is enough to see the material."

While speaking, he put his clothes back on, but fortunately the gap was behind him, so there was nothing wrong with it from the front.

"Your Majesty, this material is novel. It's a bit like silk thread, but it's softer, and it's a bit like kapok..." Changsun Wuji speculated.

Seeing that everyone didn't recognize him, Li Er didn't hold back anymore, "This is actually made of wool, and the whole set is made of wool."

what?
wool?

How can it be?Isn't wool thick and stiff?Even sheep wool from the northern grasslands is difficult to handle... No, could it be?
"Your Majesty, could it be that what you have mastered is the processing and processing technology of sheep wool?" Fang Xuanling exclaimed.

Li Er smiled and nodded.

Everyone exclaimed.

The group of people in front of them can be said to be the most intelligent group of people in the Tang Dynasty. The old Qin Palace has a ranking of [-] bachelors. They are not erudite and talented people who can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

If it is wool, everyone can figure it out. If wool can really be woven into clothes, that would be amazing.

Not to mention that there are countless cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the wool is inexhaustible. In the Tang Dynasty alone, who doesn't have a few sheep in a wealthy family?There are even more officials and nobles, ranging from tens to hundreds, and as many as calculated on the basis of acres.

"Your Majesty, it's true that wool can weave such soft clothes?" Du Ruhui asked.

Li Er waved his hand, and the old servant Gao presented a memorial, which described the simple wool processing technology, which was copied by Li Er's dictation.

Everyone took turns to watch it, and they already believed in their hearts that there are capable people in the world!

"Your Majesty, I don't know how much this technology is worth? After reading these secret books, I will go back and collect money." Gao Shilian said proactively.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Aiqing misunderstood, this is just to simplify the steps, but to sell detailed technology, I invite you to discuss countermeasures, not to make money from you.

Today, I have obtained more than one supernatural skill. After thinking about it, it is appropriate to exchange this silk weaving technology for military rations. Discuss with everyone, how much of this unique skill should be sold to the big families? "

"I believe that such magical skills are priceless. If they can be promoted, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed in the future, and they can say goodbye to the stiff mulberry and hemp clothes." The great scholar Yu Shinan said loudly.

Changsun Wuji objected and said: "Bo Shi (Yu Shinan's word), although this thing is related to people's livelihood, it is helpless to sell it at a price now. Otherwise, the northern Turks invaded the south, and the Tang Dynasty was in danger.

Your Majesty, I think it's not easy to set a price, but at least we need to sell enough to raise the military rations.

As for what Duke Yu said, the issue of people's livelihood can wait until the northern enemy soldiers are retreated, and then our court will step forward to solve it slowly. "

... Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji and cursed in their hearts. Sure enough, the fat man was insidious. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He first sold his technology to raise military rations, and after defeating the enemy, he sold the technology to ordinary people at a low price. Clothes can also be popularized, benefiting the common people, and the big families who bought military food and technology suffered a secret loss, tsk tsk, it really is an old bastard.

Li Er smiled brightly, "My dear friends, let's talk about the price today to meet the enemy, and it will not be too late to talk about the people's livelihood in the future."

……

After discussion, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui contacted and sold technical issues.

Li Er came to the Lizheng Hall where the queen was, and wiped his sweat while walking, "The clothes are comfortable to wear, but they are a bit hot."

When I arrived at the Lizheng Palace, before I could speak, the queen came up to welcome me, "Erlang, come and see, these are new clothes sent by the fifth brother Pai Doudou, I don't know what material they are made of, they are very soft and comfortable to wear."

Li Er took a closer look, okay, what is it if it's not a sweater?Just told the courtiers that the Tang Dynasty was out of print, but in the blink of an eye they were slapped in the face.
