Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

When listening to Li Shimin's narration of Li Wenbin's merits, Wei Zheng remained expressionless. He waited until the emperor finished speaking, then he cupped his hands to show that he already knew, and then returned to the ranks of civil servants without saying a word.

Although Wei Zheng was questioning Li Wenbin's status, Li Wenbin couldn't feel any hostility towards him from the old man, and the question just now seemed to be a joke to Li Shimin, and Wei Zheng's question just elicited Li Shimin's next words .

After holding his chin and thinking for a while, Li Wenbin finally figured it out. Probably Wei Zheng is repaying his life-saving grace, right?

When Li Jiancheng was killed and the former ministers of the East Palace were all arrested, someone suggested that Wei Zheng, who was washing the horses of the East Palace, be beheaded for public display. After Li Shimin asked Li Wenbin for his opinion, he was released and appointed as the chief bookkeeper of Zhan Shi of the East Palace.

If you think about it this way, Li Wenbin will be able to understand - it turns out that this loyal minister who is known for his outspoken advice in the history books can also speak human words...

Li Wenbin can't be blamed for thinking this way, because in my impression, Wei Zheng is just the spokesperson of the Shandong clan in the imperial court-it seems that the history in the history books must be believed, and it cannot be fully believed.

Maybe at any time, I will cause trouble because I look at people with my own stereotypes.

After Li Shimin's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that King Qin, who was only 17 years old after the new year, had already made so many contributions. No wonder the emperor abandoned his original son and made Li Wenbin the actual prince.

Seeing the silence of the civil and military officials, Li Shimin was very happy. He knew that even if the ministers initially affirmed Li Wenbin's achievements, it would also be of great help to stabilize the court situation.

"Loves, what I just said is less than one percent of the achievements that the King of Qin has made recently. If these few things can be successful, it will lay a solid foundation for my Tang Dynasty!"

"King Qin, take out your achievements and show them to all your loved ones."

"According to the order."

Li Wenbin first gave a salute, then clapped his hands, and walked in from outside with several maids, holding some pieces of cloth in their hands and came to the main hall.

The officials didn't know what kind of medicine Li Wenbin was selling in this gourd, and it was strange to see that the cloth was different from the cloth they had seen in the past.

But they are all old foxes, no one asks questions, they just wait for Li Wenbin to speak up.

"Ministers, this is a woolen fabric that the king has spent a year developing. The cloth woven from this fabric is soft, warm and absorbs water. It is a very good textile material."

Following Li Wenbin's introduction, several court ladies distributed the cloth to the ministers to watch.

"Tsk tsk, look at the stitching, it's so fine."

"It's really light, much lighter than the fur I'm wearing!"

"It's weird, how breathable it is, even though it's so dense."

Seeing the discussions among the ministers, Li Wenbin and Li Shimin exchanged a "scheming success" look: "Ministers, this is the fabric newly developed by the king, what do you think?"

"That's right, Your Highness King Qin, how much does this cloth cost?"

"Is there any more, give me a hundred horses!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"This king can reveal to everyone that the cloth made of wool is higher than the sackcloth worn by the common people today."

"However, this is just the beginning, because most of the investment in the early stage is invested in technology. After the wool can be processed in large quantities, the cost will drop again and again. In the end, I estimate that it will be cheaper than linen. .”

"As for the output... come, someone, bring in the loom."

After getting permission, several sergeants carried a strange-looking machine into the hall - many ministers didn't touch the spring water with their fingers, and couldn't tell what it was at all, but Wei Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw it.

He walked over and circled the machine a few times: "His Royal Highness, is this the loom you made?"

"Lord Wei, I don't dare to say that it was created. It's just that this king has made some improvements on the basis of the predecessors."

"So, what is the output of this loom?"

"Based on a conservative estimate, the daily output of such a loom can equal the amount of cloth woven in the past month."

"hiss……"

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, there was a sound of gasping for air from the main hall, and the officials couldn't believe their ears: What, your machine lasted for a month in a day?

Really, isn't this joke a little too big?

At some point, Empress Changsun also appeared beside Li Shimin. She was also wearing a set of woolen products, looking elegant and radiant.

"You don't have to worry, my palace has verified it. The one month King Qin said is a conservative estimate. If you are skilled, the efficiency will be higher."

Although Changsun Wuji had already heard about wool spinning and looms, it still sounded a little too exciting.

He took a deep breath, stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's acquisition of these two treasures will surely usher in a generation of prosperity for our Tang Dynasty. I am here to congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty."

The officials also reacted, and they all wished Li Shimin the greatest emperor of the Tang Dynasty—except for one person.

This person was Wei Zheng. He just looked at the loom with frowning eyes, without saying a word, and looked extremely eye-catching in the hall.

After the ministers finished their flattery, Wei Zheng also said, "Your Majesty, I still have a few questions for His Highness King Qin."

"Wei Qing, please ask."

"I don't know why Master Wei taught me?"

"Don't dare, dare not. Your Highness's move has created a situation that has not been seen in thousands of years. I can only admire it. There are only a few small questions. Please answer Qin King."

"Qin Wang, you said that one loom can support 30 people. Then I would like to ask, if this kind of loom is extended to the whole Tang Dynasty, what will you do to those women who make a living by weaving?" Woolen cloth?"

"You must know that many women rely on weaving to subsidize their families and even raise their children. If you do this, will they still exist in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future?"

"Master Wei has a great opinion, and this king admires it."

Li Wenbin was not ridiculing Wei Zheng, he could see the impact of the loom at once, which is indeed not something ordinary people can do.

"What this king wants to say is that this loom brings more positive changes, and what Master Wei said is naturally possible..."

"It's not possible, but it will happen."

"Yes, it will definitely happen, but this king already has a solution."
