Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Some time ago, Zhao Ke went to the northwest of Datang to find many herdsmen, and finally got together the second batch of wool. The number is more than three times that of the previous batch.

As soon as the wool is in place, the looms crank up and run at full capacity. The aunts have been idle for a long time, but they burst out with a very strong enthusiasm for work as soon as they started work. They can produce nearly 20 baskets of wool every day, which is shocking.

According to Li Xin's arrangement, the yarn was divided into two halves. Half of it is sent to clothing stores, where weavers weave it into standard yards of sweaters, coats, finished scarves, etc., and the other half is sold directly in the form of wool. If you buy wool, you will get free bamboo needles for knitting sweaters.

As for the price, not to mention the finished product, a bundle of woolen thread can be sold for two hundred cash, and the cost calculation is even less than thirty cash, which is simply a huge profit.

Of course, Li Xin also knew that this was only temporary.

Borrowing the wind from "Jade Mandarin Duck", wool and woolen fabrics became known to the public. In addition, as soon as the emperor and empress wear scarves, many women, whether married or not, would like to weave one or two scarves for their sweethearts.

In general, Li Xin's marketing methods have created a situation where wool yarns are in short supply in Chang'an. After this wave of heat passes in the future, the price of wool yarns will fall and stabilize at a relatively low price, and ordinary people can wear them. afford it.

Li Shimin is also very concerned about Li Xin's wool business. I found several household officials to pay attention to this matter. They have all attended Li Xin's class and have a relatively deep understanding of economics. After some investigations, they finally reported to Li Shimin: the wool market has been steadily advancing and expanding, and a trade agreement with Turks can already be started.

Datang's treasury has never been considered abundant. Military pay, water conservancy repairs, etc. all cost money. If you buy a bunch of useless things when the domestic market is not yet mature, you will be troubled.

Li Shimin finally decided, believed in the judgment of the household officials, and sent someone to announce Li Xin into the palace.

The emperor summoned, even Li Xin did not dare to neglect. Without saying a word, he followed the servant who came to announce him into the palace.

"My humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."

After saluting respectfully, Li Xin came and sat down beside Li Shimin.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "It should be about wool."

Li Shimin nodded.

"At the beginning, you suggested to me to take the wool as the weakness of the Turks in my Tang's hands. Now, in your opinion, isn't it about time?" he asked.

Li Xin is currently the only one who manages wool fabrics in person, and he knows the market feedback best. Hearing Li Shimin ask such a question, he nodded, and said, "To tell you the truth, my minister wanted to report this matter to His Majesty these two days."

"Tell me." Li Shimin said.

Li Daoxin: "Wei Chen believes that Datang's response to wool fabrics is very good, and we will be able to establish a long-term and stable business relationship with Turkic in the future. Therefore, we can almost start a trade agreement with Turkic. Wei Chen suggested , select a reliable person to go to Turkic to discuss these matters."
