God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Yuan Tiangang looked at Du He in surprise, and asked, "Du He, this is the hot water tablet you brought Qingfeng and the others to make? But, isn't that iron pipe easy to leak?"

Li Ke hurriedly said: "Master Yuan, this matter has been resolved by the teacher. Using the on-site casting method, the iron pipes can be connected to each other tightly, and there is no guarantee that there will be no water leakage."

In fact, the principle of this hot water sheet is very simple. It is to put the hot water sheet in the room and install a boiler outside. After the water in the boiler is boiled, it flows into the hot water sheet along the iron pipe. After changing the water, the entire hot water sheet is like a huge brazier, which can quickly warm the whole room. After more than half an hour, it can ensure that the airtight room is as warm as spring.

However, during the research and development, there was one biggest problem. Limited by technology, the iron pipe and the iron pipe could not be completely connected together, and water leakage was a common phenomenon. In the end, Duhe decided to adopt the on-site casting method and directly moved the furnace to the iron pipe. Connect the site, pour the boiled molten iron down, and it will be formed quickly to ensure that there will be no water leakage.

That's why Li Ke was so excited.

When Yuan Tiangang heard the words, he had admiration for Du He.

Du He said: "16 guan, this is a big business. Now that the weather is getting worse, all orders must be processed within ten days. Therefore, I decided to put aside other work in the R&D center and let all craftsmen To mobilize and build hot water sheet equipment, we must ensure that it can be supplied."

"Also, 200 people from Datang Furniture Factory will be transferred to cooperate with 100 people from the R&D center to form 15 installation teams, which will be responsible for door-to-door installation of hot water heaters. Whether you can get all the 16 units depends on you, and "Old Yuan, even if you let go of the production here, in a few days, those big households in Chang'an City will definitely be unable to sit still when they get wind of it. At that time, I'm afraid there will be more orders." Du He added.

Lu Yuan and Yuan Tiangang stood up excitedly.

Lu Yuan said: "Yes, young master, the furniture factory must cooperate with the R&D center."

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said: "As long as there is money to be made, let those craftsmen only sleep for two hours a day, and give them processing money."

Du He thought to himself, this old Yuan loves money so much, maybe he is not a fake Taoist priest?

The next morning.

The 15 installation teams of Dream Group set off with the hot water sheets they had built, and started the door-to-door installation service.

More than 400 craftsmen in the R&D center work tirelessly to create hot water tablets.

In less than a few days, the big households in Chang'an City all heard the news that the hot water sheet newly invented by Dream Group is cleaner and easier to use than the brazier. Some people even tried it at the home of the big boss in the court and felt very good, so they lined up Come to Dream Corp. to buy hot water tablets.

For a while, the orders of the R & D center increased sharply.

Soon, the pig iron hoarded by the R&D center two months ago was not enough, so they had to buy it from Chang'an City at a high price.

Fortunately, the imperial government's control over iron in this era has not been as crazy as that of Song Yuanming. Dream Group almost bought out the entire Chang'an City's iron.

As a result, there was a spectacle in Chang'an City where ordinary people went to the streets to buy kitchen knives and they were out of stock after a day of shopping.

At the end of the seventh year of Zhenguan, hot water tablets quietly appeared. In less than half a month, they became popular in Chang'an City and became a must-have item for rich people in Chang'an City.

Nowadays, if you say that you don’t have one or two sets of hot water tablets at home, you are ashamed to say that you are rich.

in the palace.

Li Ershou stayed in the Tai Chi Hall, but he didn't want to go anywhere.

He simply dealt with the memorial here.

The reason is very simple. There are hot water tablets in this Tai Chi Hall, and there are people outside boiling, draining, and changing the water at [-] o'clock. The entire Tai Chi Hall is so warm that you can wear unlined clothes.

Looking at the imperial study room, it was extremely cold.

Accustomed to the benefits of hot water tablets, Li Er no longer likes braziers.

At this moment, after dealing with the day's memorial, Li Er stood up and asked, "Zhao Yang, I heard that all the big families in Chang'an City are now using the hot water tablets of Dream Group?"

Chapter 485 Selling Products

Zhao Yang nodded: "Your Majesty is aware of the details, it is true. I heard that Dream Group took this opportunity to earn at least 30 yuan. If you want to say that the ability of Huyi County Marquis to make money is really unique in the world, and the servants also heard that this matter His Royal Highness the King of Shu participated, and he also earned tens of thousands of guan."

Li Er took off his presbyopic glasses, and when he heard the words, he had an angry expression on his face: "These two bastards are busy selling hot water tablets, but they forgot about my palace. Hmph, the huge palace is so big now. As far as the Taiji Hall has hot water, my bedroom, Wende Hall, and the imperial study are extremely cold, and I don’t want to stay there for a moment. If this continues, I can’t do it. I will tell you that King Xuanshu and Du He will enter the palace. .”

Li Er directly sent Zhao Yang to the dream group to announce Duhe and Li Ke into the palace.

……

Dream Group.

in the conference room.

The atmosphere was a little depressing.

Lu Yuan and Yuan Tiangang sat opposite Du He.

I just heard Yuan Tiangang say: "With the current construction speed, the iron and iron ore in the warehouse can only be used for three days. If there is no iron after three days, our orders for these hot water chips will have to be refunded." , At least one hundred thousand coins will be lost, the old man always feels very distressed when I think of it."

That's right, with the crazy construction of Dream Group, the iron supply of the entire Chang'an City is not available.

Nowadays, it is so cold that it is impossible to find new iron resources.

Lu Yuan said: "Master, in the entire Chang'an city, only the Changsun family still sells pig iron. The Changsun family is the only family designated by His Majesty to sell pig iron. Since the Turks were destroyed, most of the iron mines in the west have been taken over by the Changsun family. Now, the amount of pig iron in the warehouse of Changsun’s family is astonishing. I have already sent someone to talk to the shop of Changsun’s family. The thirteen shops of Changsun’s family that sell pig iron have all stated that they are not allowed to sell pig iron, even a handful, without Changsun Chong’s permission. The amount of kitchen knives is not enough."

"Elder Sun Chong leading this matter?"

"I heard that Changsun Wuji has handed over the sale of iron to Changsun Chong."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu hurried in from the outside and handed a letter to Du He: "Master, this is from the Sikong Mansion, and it is said that the eldest Sun Chong personally wrote to you, Young Master."

Du He didn't need to read it, he already guessed the content of the letter.

After he opened it, sure enough, Changsun Chong stated in the letter that he could sell the iron hoarded by Changsun's family to Dream Group, but the price was five times the market price. Moreover, Changsun's family wanted to invest in the construction of hot water chips without paying a penny. , accounting for [-]% of the shares.

Lu Yuan and the others took the letter over and read it, and they were very angry.

Du He laughed and said: "Is the Sikong Mansion planning that I, Du He, will beg them? Five times the market price? I, Du He, have always been the only ones who make money from others, yet Chang Sun Chong wants to make money from me. It's ridiculous... this You villain, how dare you bully your master and destroy your ancestors, and deal with him when you come back."

It was only then that everyone remembered that Chang Sun Chong was still Du He's third disciple.

However, those in the know know that it was Du He's move to make Chang Sun Chong an apprentice. The purpose was to use the appearance of Sikong Mansion to gain fame for Banshan College. up.

Unexpectedly, this kid started cheating Dream Group with his backhand.

This is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors!

Yuan Tiangang said: "Right now, I'm afraid that only you, Du He, will come to visit in person and negotiate with Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, our business of hot water chips will have to stop."

Du He thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that in the entire Chang'an City, only Changsun's family has iron?"

Lu Yuan said: "Except for the eldest grandson's family, only the imperial court has iron, but the imperial court's iron is not sold outside, and the control is very strict. Even high officials in the court cannot hoard iron. The eldest grandson's family is special because it is a foreign relative. "

"So it's like this... Changsun Wuji wants to take a fortune from me. If I really let him take such a big advantage, how can I continue to hang out in Chang'an in the future? Five times the market price, [-]% of the shares, such a Come on, isn't this young master making money at a loss..." Du He said slowly.

At this time, Li Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Old Du, I have a solution!"

Li Ke had always called Du He a teacher before, but Du He felt a little awkward, so he simply asked Li Ke to call him Lao Du, which seemed to be a little more intimate.

"What can you do?"
