In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 47 Cheap red bricks, in short supply
"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said happily: "Yes, yes, 1% of the bricks in the first kiln are already very remarkable.

Ke'er, I really can't believe that you can do such a remarkable thing even though you usually look stupid.Father is proud of you, I am proud!Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Shimin is really happy.

What could be happier than a father showing off his son?

People from Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji's faction looked at each other in blank dismay, their expressions were very ugly.

They didn't expect that this foolish man would succeed.

Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and cried out in annoyance.

"Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake. At that time, the king of Shu wanted us to cooperate with him, so why did I...

Oh, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, let's discuss it, Uncle Cheng, can I become a member now? "

Li Ke looked at him very speechlessly: "What do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "I said it's definitely possible, don't worry, I'll have someone send 200 pennies to your house later, I don't want you [-]%, you just give me [-]%. Haha Ha ha……"

Li Ke rolled his eyes and said, "What good things are you thinking about? Just ask my elder brother and fourth younger brother. Now you give him 1 yuan and ask him to sell you his two shares, and see if they are willing." ?”

gah...

The smile on Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly froze.

"No, His Royal Highness, I am your Uncle Cheng. I hugged you when I was a child. Can't we accommodate you? Ask Your Majesty, did I hug you when you were young?"

"Is it worth 1 yuan if you hugged me? You really know how to make money."

Li Ke said contemptuously, and then went around to Li Shimin's side.

It's better to stay away from this demon king.

As for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, they were already insane with joy.

My god is big, I got rich, I got rich.

This time, my mother no longer has to worry about me having no money to spend.

100 million bricks, how much is this?

At the scene, some people were really happy and some were sad!

The happiest are those workers.It succeeded. According to the character of the King of Shu, they no longer have to worry about being starved.

As long as they are willing to work here all the time, the King of Shu will not be able to drive them away.Their lives will only get better and better.

At this moment, they have seen a bright future.

Although some officials were envious and jealous, they still came up to congratulate Li Ke one by one.

This is indeed something to be happy about.

Li Shimin suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Ke'er, how much did you cost to make these bricks?"

This question is of concern to everyone on the scene.

Many people's minds are already alive.As long as the cost is low, they will also send people to learn the technology secretly, and then get one.

This thing looks quite complicated, but in fact the technical content is not high.Turn around here, and they almost understand the principle.

As for the investment cost, that's even less of a problem.Who can't pay for a few hundred dollars?

For a moment, the eyes of all the officials fell on Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't shy away from them, and said directly: "Father, the bricks I make in such a large batch are actually very low in cost. Selling a penny for a brick is already profitable.

How about this, let me price these bricks for a penny and a piece!After I upgrade the technology and reduce the cost, I will continue to reduce the price. "

When Li Shimin heard this, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

It costs a penny and a dollar, and many people can already afford it.Although it is still a bit expensive for those poor families.

But the price can be lowered by 5 times at once, which is quite good.

At this price, most people can accept it.

Of course, for those who can’t afford to build a house, even if you sell it for 10 yuan a penny, or even give it to him for free, he still can’t afford it.

Li Ke also has no choice. It always costs money to make this thing, so he can't let him sell it at a loss, right?
Li Shimin said happily: "Well, well, one penny and one yuan is good. Ke'er, you have done a great thing for Datang! You are now the prince, and the emperor has nothing to reward you.

How about this!Father rewarded you with 500 elite soldiers to protect your property, what do you think? "

Li Ke now has a property, and Li Shimin has to think about his safety.So, he was given 500 elite soldiers.

In fact, with Li Ke's coffee position, he can have 1 troops.

However, the premise is in his fief.It is not allowed in Chang'an City.

If every prince has 1 troops in Chang'an City, how can he support Li Shimin?
The most important point is, what if these princes rebel?
Therefore, it is unprecedented for Li Shimin to give Li Ke 500 elite soldiers.

Even Prince Li Chengqian does not have the power to command troops in Chang'an.

As soon as Li Shimin said this.Many people's faces turned ugly.Especially Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is against the rules to reward a prince with military power."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I trust Ke'er. Haha... But Ke'er, these 500 elite soldiers have to be raised by yourself, and the emperor doesn't care. Can you afford it?"

Li Shimin didn't answer Changsun Wuji's words at all, and directly changed the topic.

Just kidding, now Li Ke has such a big industry.If you don't give him some people, it will be a little dangerous.

Li Ke hurriedly cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "The boy thanked his father."

"Haha, okay, by the way, send me the bricks from the first kiln to the palace. I want to repair the palace."

Li Ke quickly said: "No problem, I will give this kiln brick to the palace without charging any money. However, if you need it again, you will have to charge money."

"Haha, don't worry! You don't need to send it, it's just some money, I can still afford it."

It's just some brick money, not much money, Li Shimin doesn't want to accept his favor.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin also stood up immediately and said: "His Royal Highness, my house also needs some bricks, how about you send 10 yuan to my house?"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin's words fell, Fang Xuanling also said: "His Royal Highness, my family also needs some. I want to build a new house. You can give me 20 yuan!"

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, other officials jumped out and said they wanted to buy bricks.

No way, who doesn't need such cheap bricks?
Most importantly, many of them live in mud-brick houses.

The previous red bricks cost 5 Wen a piece, which is not something everyone can afford.

Who wouldn't want to live in a house made of red bricks?
Li Ke said quickly: "Stop, stop, I can't give you these kiln bricks yet. The workers here still live in thatched huts. I want to keep these bricks and build dormitories for them first.

You can only wait first.Li Zheng, come over and record how many bricks they want, and then send them to them. "
