I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

This is no secret.

These kilns are only invested by Fengchao. What Fengchao does is nothing more than lying around and waiting to get money every year. Strictly speaking, they are not Fengchao's property.

It was difficult for Li Daozong to attack Fengchao, but he had no problem with these small kilns.

Soon, it was found out why these kiln factories were able to keep the cost down so low.

Very simple.

Put the mud into the mold, and then press it, and a mud embryo will come out.It takes one person on their side to make one embryo, in these kilns, bang bang bang, more than a dozen people smashed it out.

And the firing is not as careful as they are.

As soon as you put them in, they will start to burn. For a cave dwelling of the same size, they can stuff it tightly and slowly, and they can stuff four to five hundred pieces into it.

Although the finished product rate is a bit lower, the final finished product is much more than that of their kiln.

Is...is it here?

Li Daozong suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked his kiln to follow this method, but it was too late.

Although the six kiln factories invested by Fengchao are independent, they are all invested by Fengchao after all, and Wu Jue has imposed a mandatory requirement on them.

That is the unified standard.

What is the diameter of the small bowl, what is the diameter of the large bowl, how big is the vegetable plate, and how big is the fish plate...

And I also specially asked the old master who fired the official kiln, even if the quality is not comparable, the appearance is always better, and the molds are all made according to the appearance of imperial products.

Li Daozong learned this method in the past, but he didn't expect that this time, the mold was made by himself, and the size and standard were completely different from these six.

One is good-looking and the other is not ugly.

When the price is the same, it is natural to choose a good-looking one to use.

Li Daozong's business was bleak. After the first week, he piled up thousands of dishes and lost several copper coins.

It made his heart bleed.

It's not just that the business of Li Daozong's family is not going well, those who are in the clothing business are also not going well-although there is no interference from Wu Jue.

But... hardly a sell.

Only a few pairs of the cheaper cloth shoes were hastily sold.

Although there are often clothing stores in Chang'an City, but... generally selling cloth is their main business. Ordinary people buy a piece of cloth to make clothes, and the wives and mothers in the family buy the clothes themselves.

The nobles would look for skilled craftsmen to make clothes, use the best fabrics, and put the best-fitting clothes. Every detail is the most considerate. Put it on the left."

Clothes and bowls and chopsticks are also different.

The cost of cloth is there, and the price of a piece of clothing cannot be lowered. Why don't ordinary people buy cloth and make it themselves?Not to mention the fit, it can also save some labor costs, and most importantly, those cloth heads are also very useful.

Noble people will not buy it.

Why should they buy the standard, rather than their own, unique clothing?
Wu Jue showed no mercy to this.

Even...before the magazine was published, I wrote an article overnight, criticizing this kind of behavior that did not do market research and then acted rashly, and the result was asking for trouble.

By the way, I posted an advertisement for myself, and asked this group of people to take a good look at the paper I had written on market research.

Less than a month.

The clothing store was hastily closed, and Li Daozong was still barely holding on, but under the siege of the six families, his situation was not optimistic.

Those merchants are certainly afraid of those nobles, but now Fengchao supports them, and everyone conducts business according to their own ability, starving the timid and the bold to death.

Their behavior became irresistible.

What's more, during this period of time, Li Daozong didn't have any extra thoughts to think about his own shop, but left it to his son to take care of it.

There are more important things in court.

The corn in the summer planting season is about to harvest.

This is the most important thing for Datang this year.

Even if the summer sowing of corn is one month shorter than the growth period of spring sowing, even if it is still half a month away from real maturity.

This has become the most important topic in the court.

Especially at this time.

Some seasoned farmers have already been able to estimate the harvest this year based on the size of the ears of corn, and these were sorted out in the first place and passed on to the court.

The effect of the thinning method is extremely significant.

According to current estimates, the yield of one mu of land using the thinning method is indeed nearly one-tenth more than that of the land without the thinning method.

Of course... everything cannot be said to be settled before the official harvest.

It's just that in the court hall, they began to discuss rewards for Yin Xuan and Yi Xin tacitly.

It's okay for Yi Xin to say, after all, he was a commoner before.

But Yin Xuan...

This one is already the Duke of the state, and if he goes up, can he be crowned king?It's not that it can't be done, but...it's not the time yet, including Li Shimin thinks so.

At any rate, after he abdicates, he will make Yin Xuan a king again.

After arguing in the court for half a month, they failed to come up with a specific decision.

On the harvest day, although it wasn't Xiu Mu, Li Shimin led most of the officials and appeared in a small village not far from Chang'an City.

The boundless fields are just rooted in this land.

The heavy ears of millet hang down on the ground like honeycombs covered with bees.

The unhulled corn is brown, and the farmers are harvesting it carefully. Li Shimin looked at it hot, asked for a sickle, took off his clothes, rolled up his trousers, and went to the ground.

The other officials looked at each other, except for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were old, or Cheng Yaojin who were really shameless.

Most of those who still had strength could only sigh helplessly and followed them to the ground.

The farmers were very dismissive.

Look at their methods, they are not suitable for crop work, including the emperor, who thought that the emperor would use a golden hoe and a golden sickle to cultivate the field. Now it seems that they probably don't even cultivate the field.

If there are fewer people, it will add chaos.

Thanks to their large number of people, their efficiency has decreased, but their speed has increased.

30 people spent a whole day harvesting 24 mu of corn, half with thinning and half without thinning.

Weigh each other.

The final figure is 12.00% more output.

And... the corn grown by the thinning method is more plump, and the quality also determines the price. This kind of quality, let alone sell it for a penny more.

The farmers were very pleasantly surprised, and of course some were very annoyed.

Why couldn't I trust Mr. Zhengyang more at that time, but half of the land in the family didn't use the thinning method, so how much less production would be lost!
