Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The rest of the money was naturally purchased at market prices for a large amount of linen, silk, industry, spices, porcelain, etc., which cost a total of 200 million guan.

It's not that Li Ke doesn't want to buy more, the main reason is that he can't fit it.According to the current construction speed of Yuwenlin, Li Ke thinks that by the time of departure in July, there will be at most fifteen sea-going ships.

The price of these things in Datang is really not expensive, but like linen, silk and silk, Li Ke will give priority to emptying all the goods collected from the treasury, and the treasury will give them money.

As for the price of the light armor, Li Ke has already given the price according to the official cost of the Mingguang armor (I searched for the cost of the Mingguang armor in history, there is no detailed record in the history books, but it is recorded that it takes more than 190 days to make a pair of Mingguang armor , and some marketing accounts even opened their mouths, saying that a pair of Mingguang armor is 8 taels of silver, and I am speechless. Guan? Even if you kill Li Shimin, you can’t get it out. I carefully consulted the prices of various parties, and I found that 8 Wen is a more appropriate number, that is, 8 Guan. This price is already very expensive. Think about 2 sets It costs 8 guan, which is already terrible for Datang’s 80 million treasury revenue.)

If Li Ke made the Mingguang armor himself, the price would be cheaper, but his new armor is cheaper than the Mingguang armor he made. The main reason is that the new armor has better protection, but it needs less armor pieces. The sewing speed is naturally faster.

A pair of Mingguang armor in Datang is about 35 catties, and the new armor made by Li Ke is 32 catties, because he uses steel sheets, which reduces the thickness and part of the weight.

This protection is enough.

According to Li Ke's cost, he can make a pair of armor with about 4 guan. This is still the steel sheet used. If it is an iron sheet, the cost will be lower. It can only be said that the improvement of these things by the modern industrial system is really great. too big.

Not only is it cheaper, but it's also faster!

Originally, Li Ke should have charged a fee to replace the full-body steel armor with a larger protective area, including the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Li Ke finally gave them some discounts and equal replacement.

One set is exchanged for another set, 240 million guan. Li Ke only earned 228 million guan from Datang Shipping Company. Hey, this profit is really not high.

He is so conscientious.

Because although the sharp-bottomed sea-going ships can sail in the canal, they cannot load goods. Because of the deep draft, most of the goods will be transported at the wharf near the mouth of the Yangtze River and meet the sea-going ships.

All the goods Li Ke needed were transported by large inland river and flat ships built by Yuwenlin, and Li Ke and others also boarded a sharp-bottomed ship, which was mainly used to transport Li Ke. something of my own.

For example, a more comfortable bed was installed for Li Ke, as well as some supplies for Li Ke to eat, clothes to wear, and so on.

Of course, some of the cabins inside have also been somewhat modified.

After getting ready, Li Ke bid farewell to Li Shimin and others who came to the pier to see him off, and officially set off!

This time, there was no grand ceremony. After all, Li Ke’s excuse was to go to Guangzhou to inspect the construction of the local school, and to visit the local officers and soldiers instead of Li Shimin, so it is naturally impossible to put some things on the bright side.

However, Li Shimin and almost all the members of the royal family came out to see him off. They all knew that Li Ke went out to make money for them, so of course they had to see him off.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that on both sides of the Weihe River, there might be at least tens of thousands of people who came densely. These are the people near Chang'an City, and they all spontaneously came to see Li Ke off.

"His Royal Highness, the voyage is smooth and smooth! Return safely!"

On both sides of the river, the roars of the people continued to come from the banks. Although their words were very common, they represented their most sincere hope.

A year ago, when Li Ke went to the Western Regions, there were not so many people seeing him off, but when he set off again a year later, so many people gathered around Chang'an City!This is because the people hired by Li Ke today did not have a holiday.

Otherwise, the number of these people will be even greater!

Looking at the crowds of people around him, Li Shimin was filled with emotion. Li Ke insisted on winning the trust of all the people in Chang'an City with his little actions.

Looking at the hearts of the people, it's no wonder that the Goguryeo assassin was discovered without even entering Chang'an City.

With such popular support, why would those assassins enter Chang'an City.

"Father, I have something I want to talk to you about." Standing on the shore, Li Chengqian suddenly said, looking at the ship going away.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Tell me, there is no one around?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some doubts.

"Go to Qinwangzhuang. Daddy, you haven't rested for a long time. It just so happens that since you came out today, it's not far from Qinwangzhuang. You can go and rest for a day. Anyway, Sanlang has already left. Not only did he leave, but also his The personal maid and fiancée have been taken away, and there is no one in his village, so you can stay there for two days to rest." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Yes yes yes, Aye, I'll go too." Li Tai nodded quickly.

"There's still me, and there's me." Li Zhi and the others next to him shouted.

"Then let's all go and stay there for a day." Li Shimin thought for a while, and waved his hand directly.

Especially seeing the short hair and tanned skin of his sons, he generously gave them a day off.

In an instant, Li Zhi and the others cheered directly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" suddenly, the son next to Li Shimin cried even louder.

"Si, why are you crying? Let's go to the third brother Qin Wangzhuang to play, please don't cry." Li Zhi was next to Si, and he hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Wuwu... Ninth... Ninth brother... No... King Jin... Sizi doesn't like you anymore... You don't have a heart... You are not sad when the third brother is gone, you are still cheering, you just think about it Play. Woooooo..." Jin Yang cried so much that Li Zhi's title was called out.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun almost laughed, but they held back and didn't call them Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress for a while.

"Yes, Brother Nine, you are too bad! Hmph!" Cheng Yang and Gao Yang also snorted with red eyes.

"And fourth brother, you are all bad guys!" Qinghe and the other princesses walked forward proudly with red-eyed circles.

"Yes, look at you, you are not as good as your younger sister." Li Shimin hurriedly suppressed a smile with a straight face, and kicked Li Tai, Li Zhi, and Li You in the back of their buttocks one by one.
