Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Shimin had already raised his leg and walked into the Hall of Mirrors, while Li Ke waved quickly, and Tian Meng, who was just outside, walked quickly.

Li Ke told Tian Meng to replace the plaque as quickly as possible, and the small characters in the upper circle were replaced with emperor characters.

Tian Meng took the order to leave, and Li Ke followed Li Shimin into the Hall of Mirrors, and the others naturally followed.

After entering the Hall of Mirrors, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Because what is placed here is the mercury mirror that many people have seen in the palace!However, the largest volume here is the half-length mirror, which is about 1.2 meters high and is supported by a wooden frame [-] to [-] centimeters from the ground.

But for this batch of mirrors, the wooden frames are all carved from mahogany, and there are beautiful patterns on the outer frames.

In addition, there are about one meter in size, half a meter in size, and mirrors also have different shapes of rectangle, circle, and oval.

All kinds of mirrors filled the shop.

The eyes of the princess who was following Li Chengqian began to shine, which woman doesn't like this?

"How much is the price?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked with squinting eyes.

"Father, this kind of full-length mirror is second only to you, the queen mother, and the concubine mother. The price is 99 guan, and the limited edition is only [-] pieces." Li Ke pointed to the largest mirror and said.

"The latter one of the next level is priced at 99 guan."

"The smaller one is nine hundred and ninety-nine." Li Ke quoted the approximate price to them. That's about three hundred words.

In conversion, a stone of rice in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to a little more than 79 kilograms in modern times. If it is less, it is calculated based on 145 kilograms per stone. The cheapest rice in modern times is about 1.5 yuan per kilogram.

In other words, it is about 217 yuan.

One penny is equivalent to about 0.9 yuan, which is always 1000 pennies. That is to say, the price of this 1.2-meter-sized mirror is 450 million in modern terms....

Cough... Li Ke doesn't make much, not much.

"Because the bigger the mirror, the more difficult it is to make. Like the mirror for you, dozens or even hundreds of sides may be broken if you make one successful side. Moreover, this mercury mirror is similar to ordinary colored glass. Once broken It was directly broken into a pile of pieces." Li Ke said that he deliberately raised his own cost.

Hearing what Li Ke said, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, oh, it seems that he misunderstood him, indeed, this kind of thing is not easy to make, and loss is very normal.

"Well, not bad." Li Shimin nodded, noncommittal.

"Sanlang." The princess next to her spoke boldly.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me." Li Ke said directly.

"If you want to buy this mirror, can you just place an order with them?" The crown princess pointed to some young ladies who were obviously acting as assistants and asked.

"Yes." Li Ke nodded.

"Okay, Li Ke, you can accompany me to take a stroll with your mother and concubine, you can stay here first." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, of course he can see that these people are embarrassed to buy things when he is here.

"Yes!" Li Ke nodded. It doesn't matter if he is not here, all the staff have been trained, and it will be no problem to be responsible for the reception.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Everyone bowed and said.

Only Changle and the others said: "We will follow Aye."

Li Shimin didn't care, and they walked directly to the next shop.

At the door of the shop, Li Shimin still raised his head and took a look: Lanxiangfang.

"What's for sale here?" Li Shimin asked.

"Soap." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Soap?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"It's similar to pancreas, but the difference is that it's easier to use than pancreas, and it's cleaner and has a fragrance." Li Ke introduced it, and took Li Shimin and the others into Lanxiangfang.

As soon as you enter the store, you can smell the strong fragrance of flowers.

There is no fragrance in this era, and all the fragrances are extracted from flowers, so the smell in the store is not pungent.

The soaps here are divided into different counters according to different specifications, packaging and flavors.

"Demonstrate." Li Shimin said.

The maid standing next to her immediately said yes, and then directly put her hand into the basin next to it, which contained the most common colored fruits, and soon her hands were covered with color, and then she gave Li Shimin They demonstrated the hand-washing effect of soap.

"This one can not only wash your hands, take a bath, but also wash your clothes. It's very clean, and it also has a fragrance on your body." Li Ke introduced it.

"How much is this one piece?" Li Shimin was very interested. This thing is used every day, not only for women, but also for men.

"The most common one is 500 Wen, and the most expensive is 3 Guan." Li Ke said.

"You still sell such cheap things?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke in surprise.

Is a bar of soap 3 sticks cheap?This thing is a consumable.

"Cough... Let it benefit the people, let it benefit the people." Li Ke nodded quickly, he would not say that the cost of soap is lower, the cost of this thing is about 20 yuan a piece, and the most expensive one is outside Wooden box, ahem.

"Well, when the time comes, I'll ask Chang Lin to make statistics to see what flavors the palace likes to use, and I'll send someone to purchase them." Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes." Li Ke hurriedly saluted.

Leaving Lanxiangfang, the next one is Xiufang, which specializes in selling silk. There are only two words on the plaque, but when Li Shimin and Concubine Yang came in, they were stunned. They didn't care about the mercury mirror and soap before.

But in the showroom in front of him, there are bundles of silk that have already been spread out for display.

Looking at the intricate patterns on the silk, Li Shimin and Concubine Yang took two quick steps, picked up the silk and put it in their hands, Li Shimin stroked the patterns on it, which were completely woven on it.

Li Shimin was a little shocked, but he didn't show it on his face, he couldn't lose face in front of Li Ke.

He immediately turned his head to look at Li Ke and said, "Is this also your property?"

"Yes, this is the silk made by the craftsmen under my son who have improved some of the textile machines." Li Ke nodded simply.

"How much is the output?" Li Shimin attaches great importance to it, because silk is directly linked to currency in Datang, so Li Shimin has to pay attention.

If the output is large, it may have an impact on the cheapest silk and so on.

"The output is not high, and it is estimated that it can barely supply the high-end market." Li Ke shook his head and said, of course, this kind of high-end silk is used to make money, and it is impossible to mass-produce it.

Because there is only one consequence of mass production, and that is to impact low-end silk, and low-end silk is more profitable for Li Ke, so it is impossible for him to do so.The production part is just used to earn money from the wealthy people in Datang.

As for the other part, it is to export to Sassan Persia, that is, Dashi and other countries through the Silk Road through Yuelai Merchant. That is the real golden road.

In fact, the Dashi mentioned in Datang’s mouth does not only refer to Sasanian Persia in the Middle East, but also includes all countries in the Middle East. Datang is collectively referred to as Dashi.
