Take the mall to Datang

Quan Wanji is such a smart person, it might be fine to be someone else, but now the most capable Duke of the Tang Dynasty is here, not only the Duke of the Kingdom, but also a powerful official in the court. He knows that Yuan Shan does not care about the government, but the influence is Very big, business development has now reached the point where no one can shake it, even His Majesty today cannot ignore the existence of Yuan Shan.

To put it bluntly, Li Chengqian is now the prince, not the emperor. Before he ascended the throne, many people would stare at this position. Facing the ministers, as the prince, he still wants to curry favor with them. How can a good friend Yuanshan come now? let go.

"Lan Guogong wait a moment, I will go and urge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately." Quan Wanji said immediately, this tone did not take the Crown Prince seriously at all, on the contrary, it gave Yuan Shan a lot of face.

Yuan Shan didn't take it seriously, he didn't want to participate in the matter of the throne, but it didn't mean he didn't want to control it.

When Quan Wanji arrived in the backyard, Li Chengqian was urging a group of craftsmen, including carpenters and blacksmiths. The entire backyard of the East Palace was almost turned into a workshop, and there were many large barrels in the yard.

There was also a steam trolley unloading in the yard, and several large steam engines were placed beside it. At this time, Quan Wanji trotted over. Seeing that Li Chengqian was still concentrating on his work, he came over and said softly, "His Royal Highness, Duke Lan please see me."

"Yuan Shan is here, go and ask him to come." Li Chengqian said immediately.

Quan Wanji didn't think this was very good, but seeing Li Chengqian's attitude, he didn't mind at all, and Quan Wanji was not afraid that the crown prince would mind, but that Yuan Shan would mind.

After a while, Yuan Shan followed Quan Wanji into the backyard, and saw that the people coming and going in the whole yard were all craftsmen, saw Li Chengqian passing by, and said, "Your Highness, what are you busy with, it looks like the project is huge. "

Li Chengqian dragged Yuan Shan to his side, and said to the blueprint on the table, "Look, this is it."

Yuan Shan looked over and saw several large wooden barrels, water pipes and steam engines made of various bamboos, and immediately said, "His Royal Highness, are you making a washing machine?"

"Haha, that's right, it's the washing machine. I still remember the one provided by the Yuanjia Workshop. The new washing machine has been improved, with a larger washing capacity. It simulates the braking of a waterwheel to control the beating of the wooden board on the clothes. The rotating wheel can increase the reverse force of washing clothes, and the speed can be adjusted according to different clothes. There is a new steam engine for faster drying. What do you think?" Li Chengqian introduced.

Yuan Shan nodded. Although the whole set of equipment takes up a lot of space, I have to say that the upgraded and improved version of the "laundry equipment" is really something to think about for a while. At least in theory, it is completely feasible, and it also includes The patting mode is now available, but this is not surprising. After all, people in this era mostly use wooden sticks to slap their clothes, but the clothes in the palace are made of very good materials. I don’t know if they will be impatient grind.

Unexpectedly, it was not easy for Li Chengqian to tinker with such a thing on the basis of the original washing machine, and he immediately praised: "The prince's idea is indeed very good. With this washing machine, a lot of court ladies can be saved, and it is also a good idea." It saves a lot of money.”

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Zeng Zai's words, and immediately said: "I can make such a device thanks to the laundry products of Lan Guogong, but I don't know if this washing machine is really practical."

"It should be good, but the washing mode may need some adjustments. For example, this laundry stick needs to pay attention to its beating strength. If it is too strong, it will easily damage the clothes. And it will be better if the washing is done with soap liquid." Yuan Shan hit the point directly. , said some questions.

Li Chengqian came and asked curiously: "Well, that's true, is the saponin liquid that Lord Lan Guogong mentioned better than saponin?"

"Of course it's easy to use. Does His Royal Highness want to buy some? The Yuanjia Workshop can produce them, but the market demand is not strong and the price is a little expensive, so it needs to be customized separately." Yuan Shan said.

How could Li Chengqian not understand that Yuan Shan was going to do business with him again, and for products that were not available in the market, customization was the only one, and it would definitely not save money.

"We just started assembling the laundry equipment. Let's wait for the craftsmen to finish assembling and try to see how it works." Li Chengqian deliberately didn't talk about the saponin liquid, and changed the topic.

Yuan Shanxin said that he did not expect that Li Chengqian now did not have the previous impulse.

He didn't understand the situation. Li Chengqian made this laundry equipment mainly to save money for the palace. One piece of equipment can save hundreds of people's work, so he naturally sold it to his father.

The production costs are all out of his own pocket. When it comes to money, Li Chengqian will not be so generous. As he gets older, the cost of the prince's mansion will increase. Now in order to stabilize the position of the prince, he sometimes has to pay back to win some The dignitaries are close relatives of the Li family, and they even manage the harem from time to time, especially through some younger brothers and sisters.

While assembling the equipment, the two sat down and drank tea and chatted next to each other.

"I heard that His Royal Highness intends to mass-produce parachutes, but where do you plan to use them?" Yuan Shan asked.

When Li Chengqian heard this, his mood was not beautiful, and he said with some resentment: "Oh, it's not because of the emperor's intention, but the cost of producing parachutes is very high, and mass production will empty the prince's mansion. Worrying, Yuanshan, do you have any way to save money?"

Chapter 883 Two Businesses

Yuan Shan knew that there was another reason why the savings in public bidding started. It seemed that His Majesty still cared about the "flying thing", but he didn't know exactly how to use the parachute.

"The production of a parachute is not complicated. The key is the materials and meticulous stitching. Human life is at stake, and the necessary cost is indispensable." Yuan Shan said frankly.

Li Chengqian couldn't feel better after hearing what Yuan Shan said. He knew that the money still had to be spent.

But Yuan Shan continued after thinking for a moment: "But the money problem is not difficult to solve?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he put all his ideas on Yuan Shan, and asked eagerly: "How to solve it, tell me quickly."

"Expenses are indispensable, but if you want to have money to spend, you naturally have to make more money. After the parachutes are mass-produced, will you worry about not being able to make money when you have finished products?" Yuan Shan said.

Li Chengqian shook his head after hearing this, and said softly: "Father will not agree to sell the parachute. The prince has thought about this matter."

Yuan Shan smiled, thinking that such a clever prince would be confused, so he said, "It's not true, the prince must have thought about something wrong, how can such a fun thing like a parachute not make money."

Hearing what Yuan Shan said, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, because all his thoughts were on "playing", and his brain was wide open in an instant, and he immediately smiled: "Yes, you don't have to sell parachutes to make money. The experience of 'flying into the sky' is attractive enough."

Seeing that Li Chengqian was enlightened, Yuan Shanzi said softly at the side: "If the prince wants to do the parachute business, how about we work together?"

Li Chengqian is [-]% willing, because he believes that Yuanshan's business will not lose money.

"Okay, let's go together, you just say what to do, the prince will listen to you." Li Chengqian patted his chest to confirm.

"It's actually very simple. Just set up a paragliding club in Xishan, let people experience the feeling of 'flying into the sky', and charge according to the number of times. Only then can they be allowed to practice, and before the actual skydiving, they have to sign a life-and-death certificate. No one can guarantee the accident rate of this kind of sports, so they must be fully prepared and clarify responsibilities and obligations, and there will be no disputes at the time." Yuan Shan said.

"Well, that's a good idea." Li Chengqian thought about it.

Yuan Shan continued: "It's exciting because it's dangerous. Let's name this kind of sport 'extreme sports'. Let fans look for excitement to their heart's content."

"Extreme sports, good, great." Li Chengqian clapped his hands and shouted, then calmed down, and said, "How much investment do you need?"

"It doesn't need to be too much. You can find a few houses in Chang'an City or outside as a training point for theoretical knowledge. After the class is full, you can go to Xishan to skydive. I will come out with training knowledge, course arrangements, procedures and other management plans. His Royal Highness Responsible for renting houses, invite people with skydiving experience to come and teach, you can train a group of people first, and then teach courses as teachers." Yuan Shandao.

When Li Chengqian heard that there was almost no cost, that is, he needed to pay for the parachute, and then Yuan Shan continued: "If the share is divided, we will pay according to [-], and His Royal Highness will take the lion's share."

Li Chengqian thought that doing business with Yuanshan would not lose money, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"By the way, when training a group of trainers, we must not forget to carry out the actual landing test of the parachute, replace it with items, etc., reduce risks, and accumulate experience. This is a necessary process and cannot be skipped. If I cooperate, I need to submit a record of a thousand parachute drops, an analysis report and a summary of experience, otherwise His Royal Highness can leave me alone and do it alone, and I have no complaints." Yuan Shan said seriously.

Li Chengqian immediately became serious when he heard Yuan Shan's mouthpiece. Yuan Shan had said this matter many times, but he didn't take it seriously. Is it just a parachute jump, what's the big deal.

But after thinking about it, he didn't refute it, because he now knew that Yuan Shan was not alone, he represented the entire Ministry of Economics and Development. Maybe he could make more money without him, but the long-term considerations really outweighed the gains.

"Okay, do everything according to your wishes, let's make more money together." Li Chengqian was still in a good mood.

Is Li Chengqian a potential stock? If you don’t let him inherit the throne and do what dudes like to do, he is really a potential stock. Hearing Li Chengqian’s promise, Yuan Shan is still calm. In short, safety first, there is nothing wrong with it.

The two chatted, and Quan Wanji was in charge of assembling the laundry equipment. His responsibility was to supervise and watch from the sidelines, otherwise he wouldn't understand.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Lan, the equipment has been assembled at a catty, and the steam boiler has been fired with coal. It will take less than a stick of incense to start the equipment." Quan Wanji came to the two and said softly.

"Wow!" The big log is being poured with clean water. In order to test it, Li Chengqian asked Quan Wanji to bring all the clothes of the servants of the Eastern Palace. I was the one who tested the washing ability of the equipment.

The roar of the cylinder driven by the steam engine, the steam valve on the equipment began to whistle, and the temperature reached the temperature and the equipment started to operate. Yuan Shan observed carefully. Now this equipment, the connected parts and bearings are all from Zheng’s bicycle factory, and Li Chengqian is also For those who have shares, the runner seat is also used by Li Chunfeng and his Gewu team. According to the current technical level, this set of equipment is undoubtedly the most advanced in the world.

The turntables in several large wooden barrels began to rotate. Someone put clothes in and then covered them with waterproof covers. Several large barrels worked at the same time, so the servants in the Eastern Palace were not fully filled with clothes.

With the huge spinning sound, Yuan Shan could feel the force as soon as he heard it. Such rotation would definitely clean the clothes. He couldn't help being interested in the "laundry equipment" that Li Chengqian made.

Everything was running normally, and half an hour later, after washing and shaking the clothes, in order to speed up the drying process, the servants took the clothes and put them directly on the rack on the iron pipe next to the boiler.

Seeing this, Yuan Shan said curiously, "I never thought I would come up with the idea of ​​using heating pipes to dry clothes. Wonderful, wonderful!"

Li Chengqian blushed a little when he heard this. This design concept came from the workers who fired the boilers in the East Palace in winter. The clothes were too dry in winter, and they would freeze outside, so they set up shelves next to the boilers to dry their clothes quickly.
