When he learned that the production of cloth had increased greatly, the cost had been greatly reduced, and the selling price had been directly reduced by half, he couldn't help being very surprised.
"Send the person who came from Yangzhou to the palace, and I will personally question him!"
Li Shimin realized the problem, he knew Li Ke's style.
Li Ke is indeed giving benefits to the people, and he is very kind to the people, which he recognizes.
But he was even more aware that no matter what Li Ke did, his profits would definitely not be affected.
Since Li Ke directly cut the selling price by half, it may not be what the newspaper said, the output has increased greatly, and the cost has been greatly reduced.
He needs to know how much this increase and decrease is.
Soon, the people who came from Yangzhou came to the Ganlu Hall with trepidation.
"Tell me about it in detail."
Li Shimin said to him lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The man immediately nodded respectfully, and then talked about the Yangzhou textile workshop.
Li Ke had long thought that Li Shimin would be curious, and couldn't help asking for information about this.
So I have explained to them a long time ago, just say what you want, and just tell the truth.
This person didn't have any psychological burden, and he said everything he knew.
For example, Li Ke invented a machine that can run continuously just by boiling water, providing a steady stream of power.
Without manpower at all, the textile workshop can weave non-stop all day long.
Now the production efficiency of Yangzhou Textile Workshop is three hundred times that of before, and it is still expanding.
Not only that, the textile workshops in Dengzhou and Quanzhou are also being remodeled, and their production efficiency will soon be three hundred times higher.
"Three hundred times!"
After listening to the man's report, Li Shimin was a little absent-minded for a while.
What is the concept of three hundred times?
The textile workshops that originally could only supply one state can now supply three hundred states!
How many states does Datang have in total?And now that the three textile workshops are working together, there is more than enough cloth to supply the entire Tang Dynasty!
And there will be a lot of surplus!
In the past, cloth was a relatively scarce material in the Tang Dynasty. Since Li Ke developed the spinning machine and loom, the supply of cloth has eased a little.
In the future, everyone will be able to afford cloth, and cloth on the market will no longer be scarce!
Li Ke directly turned the originally lacking supplies into extremely abundant supplies!
"This is indeed a great contribution!"
"How should I award it?"
Li Shimin was quite excited and happy at first, but when he thought about how to award the reward, he immediately became annoyed.
PS: The fifth update!corpse.
Chapter 268 Li Chengqian was scared to death!Are you really going to change the prince?
They were still very shocked.
Although after Empress Changsun died of illness, Concubine Yang's position in the harem was relatively detached.
But everyone is only more polite to Concubine Yang, and it is far from being as respectful as Concubine Yang is to the Queen.
After all, Concubine Yang is only a noble concubine, and there are several concubines who are of the same rank as Concubine Yang.
We are all at the same level, so naturally we can't talk about who is respectful to whom.
It's just that the mother is more expensive than the child, and Concubine Yang has faintly become the leader of the harem because of Li Ke's relationship.
But Concubine Yang is usually very low-key and doesn't care much about these things, so the current harem is actually a situation where the surface is calm, but in reality there are undercurrents.
But starting today, the situation in the harem will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Because, the master of the harem has appeared, and that is Concubine Yang!
From now on, Concubine Yang will be the actual queen, and all affairs in the harem will be in charge of Concubine Yang.
Whether it's personnel or finance, for example, whoever wants to have an extra maid in the palace, or wants to have more money every month, it's all in the hands of Concubine Yang.
This is a power that only the queen has, but now that His Majesty has bestowed this power on Concubine Yang, it has already shown His Majesty's attitude.
Moreover, Concubine Yang can also wear a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, which only queens are qualified to wear.
The significance of this is self-evident.
As for the later matter of allowing Concubine Yang to set up a medical school, those who read the newspapers some time ago naturally understood that this was paving the way for Concubine Yang.
In the future, Concubine Yang may not only be the actual queen, but may also become the queen in name!
"Sister, if you have anything to do in the harem from now on, you can just ask."
"Sister, I said before that you must be the best candidate for the empress, and now you are right."
"Congratulations sister, congratulations sister!"
Soon, all the concubines in Baifu Hall bowed to Concubine Yang with discernment.
There is not only the politeness in the tone before, but also the respect that was not there before.
After all, these concubines in the harem are well versed in the way of survival and know how to assess the situation.
21 Maybe some people had some thoughts in their hearts before, but now after this imperial decree, all the thoughts dissipated in an instant.
In the future, only one person's voice is enough for the harem, and this person is Concubine Yang!
So, for a while, everyone enthusiastically flattered Concubine Yang.
It's natural for my sister to call out.
"Everyone can get along according to the previous relationship, and don't talk nonsense."
Concubine Yang smiled slightly and said something to everyone.
Although Li Shimin did give her the right to be a queen, she is not a queen after all, so she didn't put on airs.
And also told everyone not to talk nonsense about the queen, so as not to cause trouble.
Her current status was obtained by relying on Li Ke's achievements.
She naturally has to pay attention to her words and deeds, and cooperate well with Li Ke's plan.
"Yes, sister."
The other concubines nodded obediently.
Although the harem is the emperor's private space, it has an extremely well-connected channel of information with the outside world.
Soon the news that Concubine Yang was granted the privilege of empress by Li Shimin spread to various houses.
In the East Palace.
"boom!"
A familiar voice came, and the prince began to throw things again.
"How could the father do this? The mother died less than a year ago!"
Li Chengqian was full of anger and unwillingness, he was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's decision!
The death of the eldest grandson empress himself was a great blow to him, and now Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, has become the master of the harem who holds the power of the empress.
There is a great possibility of becoming Li Shimin's second queen in the future, which is really bad for him!
Even, he couldn't help wondering whether Li Shimin did this on purpose.
It is to straighten Concubine Yang first and make Concubine Yang the queen, and then the next step is to abolish him as the prince, and then make Li Ke the prince!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high, and he couldn't help but panic.
At this time, Changsun Wuji also hurried to the East Palace and saw Li Chengqian who was throwing things to vent his anger.
Changsun Wuji's face was also very ugly. He also received the news that Concubine Yang was in charge of the Queen's power.
It was also difficult for him to accept this matter. He originally thought that this day was still a little far away, but he never expected this day to come so soon!
He didn't even understand why Li Shimin gave Concubine Yang such a big reward all of a sudden.
All he knew was that Li Shimin declared Xiao Yu to be holy in the Temple of Manna by himself before, but he didn't know exactly what he said.
This made him feel a sense of anxiety and crisis, because he found something he didn't know!
The unknown is the scariest thing.
"Uncle, the father is too much, and the mother has only passed away for less than a year, why is he so heartless?"
Seeing Changsun Wuji coming, Li Chengqian couldn't help complaining to Changsun Wuji.
"Be careful!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was startled, and quickly looked around.
After finding that there was no one, he was relieved, and scolded Li Chengqian in a stern tone.
Li Chengqian was too careless, even in the East Palace, there are ears behind the walls, so you can't talk like that.
Haven't you learned your lesson about the things you wanted before?
Hearing Changsun Wuji's scolding, Li Chengqian's angry mind also cleared up a little.
Thinking of what he said in anger just now, he was suddenly afraid.
If someone heard it and it reached Li Shimin's ears, something serious would happen.
"The most urgent task now is to understand why His Majesty suddenly made this decision."
Seeing that Li Chengqian had calmed down, Changsun Wuji said something to him.
In fact, he also felt that Li Shimin was a little heartless. It was less than a year since his sister passed away, and Li Shimin had the idea of re-establishing a queen.
However, he and Li Shimin have known each other since childhood, and after spending so many years together, he still knows Li Shimin very well.
He also knew Li Shimin's feelings for his sister.
Therefore, Li Shimin must have made this decision for some reason.
"I only know that Li Ke has reduced the price of all cloth by half, and there is a large supply."
Li Chengqian thought of the newspaper he read today, and said to Changsun Wuji.
"It shouldn't be that simple. There must be information we don't know."
Changsun Wuji said very decisively.
This news alone is far from enough for Li Shimin to make this decision.
"Tomorrow there should be a Great Court Meeting."
Immediately, Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, judging from his experience, such an important matter would definitely hold a grand meeting.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch from the palace came to the East Palace to deliver an order, informing Prince Li Chengqian to attend the Great Court Meeting tomorrow.
And after seeing that Changsun Wuji was here, he also notified him by the way.
All the houses in Chang'an City are discussing this matter, some are happy and some are sad, they are all waiting for tomorrow's court meeting.
In the anticipation of many people, the second day came soon.
Early in the morning, the ministers went to the palace in a carriage.
At the gate of the palace, many ministers walked towards the Taiji Hall together, and exchanged a few words on the way.
"Lord Xiao, I don't know what is going on?"
Many people looked at Xiao Yu curiously.
Because everyone has received the news, since His Majesty announced Xiao Yu's entry into the palace yesterday, there has been that decree.
To say that the one who knows the reason, maybe apart from Li Shimin, Xiao Yu is the only one left.
