Seeing that his nephew made good things, Changsun Wuji couldn't hold back his joy.
Liu Renyuan said from the side: "This newspaper is delivered for free, no money."
"Give it away for free?" Hearing this, Li Shimin quit: "Isn't it worth money for this paper? Doesn't it cost money for printing? If he doesn't sell money, whose tax will I collect?"
"Eh..." Liu Renyuan blushed, "This... the last general really didn't think about it."
"Go quickly and find this prodigal son for me." Li Shimin said angrily, "I want to ask him why I didn't name this poem."
"En." Liu Renyuan nodded, and then he reacted with a confused face: "Ah? What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"
"Uh..." After a pause, Li Shimin said, "I want to ask him why this newspaper doesn't want money."
"Oh, the last general is taking orders." Liu Renyuan agreed with his hand, then turned and left the imperial study.
Chapter 303 Development of Cement
Soon...
Liu Renyuan then brought Li Chengqian over.
Li Chengqian walked into the door, cupped his hands and said, "Father, you are looking for my son."
"Hehe..." Li Shimin looked at him dotingly: "You made this newspaper?"
"That's right." Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It's indeed what my minister did."
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Well, not bad, not bad, I have some ideas at a young age."
Hearing this, several other ministers looked at Li Shimin in shock.
You didn't seem to have this attitude just now!
Looks like he wants to eat people...
Now the son is filial and the father is kind.
Li Chengqian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you father for your compliment."
Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "I heard that your newspaper is delivered for free, and you don't charge money?"
Li Chengqian said indifferently: "In order to speed up the spread of the newspaper, there was no charge for the first few issues of the newspaper. When a certain group of people are attracted, then there will be a charge, but only a penny for the production cost."
"One penny?" Li Shimin frowned: "In my opinion, this newspaper can be sold for five pennies, why do you only charge one penny?"
There was some displeasure between the words, after all, it was related to the issue of taxation.
Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously: "I have other ways to earn money."
"Aside from selling this newspaper, what other methods do you have?" Li Shimin was confused.
The surrounding ministers were also in a fog, unable to keep up with Li Chengqian's thoughts and rhythm.
Li Chengqian took the newspaper, spread it flat on the imperial case, and pointed to the advertisement column: "I use him to make money?"
Li Shimin looked at the newspaper, and the ink printed a pattern.
"Glass?" He looked at Li Chengqian with a bewildered face, and the more he looked, the more bewildered he became.
Li Chengqian was helpless: "It's not the glass, it's this position. Let me tell you this, do you think Erchen's newspaper has a lot of circulation?"
"Circulation?" Li Shimin's face turned red with anxiety, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Li Chengqian sighed: "Do you think there are many people receiving this newspaper?"
Li Shimin nodded: "Many, there must be a lot. Who can not want things that are given for free, I want them all."
Li Chengqian continued: "If there are more people, I can cooperate with other merchants. For example, in the silk workshop, I will print his silks and satins in Erchen's newspapers to publicize them for him. Do you think his silks and satins will be sold?" more."
Li Shimin suddenly realized: "Yes, then it will definitely be, with your fame and a certain degree of popularity, there must be many people attracted by your name;
The business of the silk and satin workshop will definitely be extremely hot. "
Several ministers around were also suddenly enlightened, surprised by Li Chengqian's thinking leap.
Li Chengqian continued: "In this way, is it too much for Erchen to charge some publicity fees with this silk and satin workshop?"
The words fall...
Li Shimin and the ministers around him exploded in an instant, feeling that there was a new way to open up life.
They never imagined that Li Chengqian had such a strange thinking.
This is really unheard of, unseen.
This method of making money really astonished them.
It's no accident that Li Chengqian is as rich as an enemy.
Wei Zheng couldn't help sighing: "His Royal Highness is really a business genius..."
However, the ancient people's thinking of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was particularly serious.
If Li Chengqian had not made outstanding contributions to the agricultural development of Datang, I am afraid they would not think so.
"Good, very good..." Li Shimin couldn't help admiring.
In this way, Datang will have another considerable amount of tax revenue.
at the same time.
A systematic voice came from Li Chengqian's mind.
"Ding. Congratulations to the host, successfully opened the newspaper, completed cultural dissemination, reward: cement production method. The reward has been distributed to the host space, please pay attention to check."
"Ding. System task, successfully build a farm and build a greenhouse, reward: proficiency in all languages in the world."
"After accepting the task, within half an hour, the reward will be issued automatically. The host can refuse, and there is no penalty for refusing."
"Accept." Li Chengqian said without hesitation.
After accepting the task, Li Chengqian bid farewell to Li Shimin.
Back to the prince's courtyard.
The north wind is getting colder.
It is now November and winter is approaching.
The weather this year is much colder than usual.
Even with Li Chengqian's physique, he couldn't help shivering.
"Hey, it's really cold today..."
After Li Chengqian returned to the house, he sat by the stove, took out the cement making method, and studied it carefully.
Although he is a prince, after all, social conditions are limited, and he can only rely on stoves for heating.
If there were no maids to warm the bed in winter, the shady blanket would be difficult to get into.
at the same time.
A surge of spirit rushed straight into Li Chengqian's mind.
just for a moment...
All languages in the world were implanted in Li Chengqian's mind.
He shook his dizzy head and felt for a while, the sudden mass of languages in his mind.
After getting acquainted with it, with this thing, it is much easier to interrogate by grabbing tongues in battle.
moment……
Li Chengqian returned to normal, looked at the cement recipe, and muttered to himself: "Cement... cement..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Can't we build a kang with cement? Can we use a maid to warm the bed if we have a kang?"
Thinking about this, Li Chengqian couldn't sit still for a moment.
He stood up and walked towards Luban Pavilion.
When they arrived at Luban Pavilion, Sun Liuchuan and other craftsmen also hid in the attic to keep warm, shivering with cold.
It's really cold today.
"His Royal Highness." Watching Li Chengqian come in, Sun Liuchuan cupped his hands.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I have something to do with you."
Sun Liuchuan rubbed his hands: "Your Highness, you can tell me anything."
Li Chengqian handed him the blueprint for making cement: "Give me this thing."
Sun Liuchuan took the drawing, looked at it, and expressed doubts: "Cement? What is this, Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian responded: "I can't explain to you a sentence or two. In short, you just follow it. If the development is successful, you will be a hero of Datang."
Hearing this, Sun Liuchuan's eyes brightened: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness, I'll take care of this humble job."
After saying that, he took the craftsmen of Luban Pavilion out to prepare raw materials.
The next day...
Sun Liuchuan prepared all the raw materials, Li Chengqian went to the scene to direct, and the cement development officially started.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian is not short of money, and the Zheng family has a wide range of paths.
Otherwise, the raw material is really not easy to handle.
A large amount of iron ore, limestone and other ores are piled up in the yard behind the Prince's Mansion.
A large number of laborers beat the ore in the yard to break up the raw materials for preliminary mixing.
The prince's courtyard was clanging, and the movement was so loud that even Li Shimin was startled.
But after he knew it was Li Chengqian, he didn't bother to ask.
After all, Li Chengqian always likes to do things that are different from ordinary people, and as time goes by, he gets used to it.
As long as he doesn't demolish the palace.
Otherwise, if Li Shimin went to Li Chengqian for an argument, maybe he would have to do something, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Chapter 304 Birth of the Kang
Sun Liuchuan held the blueprint and looked at Li Chengqian who was beside him: "His Royal Highness, is this cement really as miraculous as it says?"
Li Chengqian nodded: "More than that. Once the cement is successfully made, it will cause a major change in Datang.
Whether it is a change in the military or people's livelihood.There will be achievements that shock the past and shine today. "
Hearing this, Sun Liuchuan was shocked. If it was true as stated on the drawing, the role of cement would be enormous.
Building houses, building walls, and repairing roads will all be the best choices.
In the courtyard...
Raw materials are initially crushed and mixed.
The next step is to break it into powder.
Due to Datang's backward technology, this step progressed very slowly.
Fortunately, the manpower is sufficient, and the tools used are made of fine steel, and the powder is very fine.
Then the raw materials are preheated to decompose some chemical components.
Next is the firing of cement.
There are several large cellars next to Luban Pavilion, where the cement is fired into a liquid state.
Finally, the liquid cement is dried and crushed into powder.
The cement is ready.
Due to Datang's industrial technology, it is really too backward.
The whole process took three days to complete.
This is also the result of Li Chengqian investing a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, the results are satisfactory.
