Chapter 41

"Master Li is here!"

With an exclamation, a piece of duck's neck was startled.

Hundreds of people stretched their necks to look at it, all of them staring with ecstasy, round eyes, trying to poke their heads out to wait and see, which is really weird.

"Mr. Li, is this loom for sale?"

"Master Li, I want one hundred, one hundred!"

"Mr. Li, this spell should be very simple. Let's talk about it, and I will give you five hundred taels of gold." Sure enough, there are still smart people.

"Yes, how about we communicate?"

...

After a short period of silence, the scene finally erupted. Fu Minghui led many guards, but they couldn't stop the crazy businessmen.

Li Xian was smiling, but carefully differentiated every sentence. When someone said "the spell is simple", Li Xian laughed even more cheerfully. Yes, the technology is simple, but the edict is not simple; my buddy played a good game with His Majesty the Emperor last night, just for you guys.

Come on, come on, the trap has already been dug for you.

After a little loosening, Li Xian took the initiative to come forward, "Thank you for your kindness, but can you introduce a few representatives, and we can discuss it on the spot and openly?"

Soon several reps were pushed out, for a total of three.

"Hello Mr. Li, Guo Youcai from the Guo family."

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm from the Liu family, Liu Shuren."

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm the Huang family, Huang Youquan."

"Hello, all three." Li Xian smiled happily, "Please wait a moment, all three."

Before the three of them could respond, Li Xian waved his hands behind him. Yang Zhong, the housekeeper of the Li family, led the servants of the Li family to carry out two plaques framed in glass, and carefully hung them on the wall behind Li Xian.

"Industrial Expo" and "Colorful Clothes Spinning Machine" are these two plaques, with a bright red seal on the back.

After the two plaques were hung up, the excited people seemed to be ducks whose necks had been cut off, and their expressions were extremely exciting. Especially the three who had just been pushed out felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.

You bastard, if you hang up early, it’s over. You have to wait until we all stand up and have a good idea and sequence for speaking before you hang up. Wife hateful!

Although everyone understands that the Great Xia Kingdom has been corrupted to the root, who dares to say openly that they will not obey the emperor's order? Before His Majesty the Emperor makes a move, the opponent can kill him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Li Xian smiled brightly, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Say now? Now let's talk shit!

Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Li Xian spoke instead, "Come here, why are you so ungrateful, the chairs have been moved out."

More than 500 chairs that had been prepared a long time ago were brought out and arranged one by one; everyone finally sat down consciously. Li Xian then said with a serious face, "Since you have no questions, then Li Xian will say a few words.

First, this textile machine can be sold. Since it is displayed at this industrial exposition, of course it is for sale. What is the price, 500 taels of gold for a loom. Limit one purchase per person.

second……"

"500 taels of gold, Mr. Li, you are crazy about money!" Before Li Xian said the second point, some people were dissatisfied.

But this time without Li Xian speaking, Guo Youcai sneered, "Where is the idiot!"

Liu Shuren also sneered, "Shut up if you don't know."

Why a fool? It's very simple, smart people have already thought of it, and Li Xian clearly stated that "each person is limited to one purchase"; Xian, just do this hammer deal!

Seeing the farce around him, Li Xian didn't speak, and continued after a short pause, "Second, I hereby announce that the era of industry has risen.

The so-called industry is the replacement of manpower by machines. Everyone has seen the power of this loom.

In fact, this engine can also be used in carriages, ships, and wars. Well, that spinning machine, called an engine, is the heart of industrial power.

This year's industrial expo only exhibited textile machines. Li Xian hopes that at next year's expo, we can see moving vehicles and ships.

Next year's Industrial Expo will be held on December 10th for five days, and it will still be here.

At that time, Li Xian will join everyone in the event. "

"Good!" Li Xian's speech made everyone excited, and almost everyone saw a brilliant future from these few words.

"Everyone, please listen to Li Xian's words, this loom, it's better to keep it in Daxia. We buy materials and sell cloth from outside.

Li Xian also met with His Majesty last night, and His Majesty also expressed that he would build a large textile base, recruit common people to work, and agreed to keep the technology secret.

It is inconvenient to say more about Li Xian, and I believe that there will be a national policy introduced soon.

Li Xian will stay here for the next three days, and welcomes everyone to visit at any time. "

After finishing speaking, Li Xian left Shi Shiran; while many merchants went to buy textile machines one after another; unfortunately, Wu Lili, who was in charge of the textile machine, expressed regret - the young master said that the textile machine can be sold, but it will take two days. There's still a demo; but we're taking reservations. And after booking, you can send textile workers to operate, and we will train on site.

"Then make a reservation!" Without even thinking about it, someone immediately made a reservation; and then sent the female workers from his own workshop to weave, and also came to study and train. Li Xian's little strategy is of course very popular.

After making the textile reservation, Guo Youcai started wandering around. At this moment, after looking at the cloth that is said to be "20% off" for sale, Guo Youcai felt that it was no longer a crisis, but a huge business opportunity; The finished product is really beautiful.

This is the first exposition, after all, it was too small, and after turning around, it came to an inconspicuous corner - the sea soul silk exhibition area.

"Haihunsi?" Guo Youcai was taken aback, he had obviously heard of Haihunsi's name, and walked in with the crowd. After entering, Guo Youcai narrowed his eyes. In this small and inconspicuous corner, there is a small hall with luxurious interior decoration. The surrounding walls are all glass cabinets, which are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D; grade.

Guo Youcai took a closer look, and there was only a three-inch piece of sea soul silk in the glass cabinet, and there were two playing cards beside it. One card read "exhibit, pre-order buyers are welcome to enter the back hall." The other card marked the price.

After seeing the price, Guo Youcai was taken aback for a moment, "D-level low-grade sea soul silk, one meter and four taels of gold."

"One meter? What is this?"

"It is a new unit of measurement adopted inside our Brilliant Star, and it will also be a standard unit of measurement for industry in the future. One meter is approximately equal to three feet, and a piece of cloth is 10 meters; one hundredth of a meter is Centimeter; a tenth of a centimeter is a millimeter.

The diameter of the sea soul silk in front of me is 1 mm. "

"Who are you?" Guo Youcai looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello, my name is He Wenlong, and I am now in charge of sorting, cutting and screening sea soul silk."

Guo Youcai frowned to absorb the information, "Can you get a lot of sea soul silk?"

"Yes, in exchange for the colored lanterns with the Sea Clan, 10 carriages worth of colored lanterns can be exchanged for one kilogram, which is now a "big catty" of sea soul silk in the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Oh..." Guo Youcai responded without further words.

He Wenlong smiled and turned elsewhere.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was evening, and this small fair was already crowded with people; those with brains came to see the opportunity, but more people came to see the excitement. There is not much excitement in this world, how can we give up such excitement.

But at this moment, a practitioner flew into the air and shouted loudly, "Everyone, please pay attention, everyone, please pay attention. There will be a lantern party at 4:00 pm (20 o'clock) tonight. At that time, 7 crystal chandeliers will be auctioned. 50 taels of gold."
