Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 317: Do you want to buy a textile machine?
The two Zhang brothers left the field with red faces.

How could they use any farming rack? This nephew is such a good-for-nothing. He tried so hard to show off but he had to ruin it!

Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao caught up with the Zhang brothers.

The Zhang brothers asked angrily, "What are you doing? Okay... we admit that the farming rack was invented by you, so what?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said to the Zhang brothers, "I'm not here to talk to you about this."

"I want to sell you two lords a loom."

The Zhang brothers rolled their eyes and asked Chen Ce, "Why do you want to sell us a textile machine? What do we need that thing for?"

"I'm in the textile business."

The Zhang brothers smiled slightly, as if to say, are you kidding me?

What's the point of running a textile business? How much money can you make from that? Nowadays, the market is full of cloth and silk, and there are textile machines everywhere, and small workshops are everywhere in Jiangnan.

There are also quite a few in Gyeonggi Province.

How much money can you make?

Besides, if we want to buy a textile machine, can't we ask someone else to buy it for us? Why should we ask you?
Chen Ce seemed to have read the two marquises' minds. He said, "My loom is eight times more efficient than an ordinary loom."

Ha ha.

Zhang Heling smiled slightly, said, "What a coincidence, the textile machine made by Zhang is sixteen times that of an ordinary textile machine."

Who can't brag?
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said to Zhang Heling: "Brother, he is so funny when he is serious."

"I can also make a textile machine that is 160 times more powerful than an ordinary textile machine!"

Chen Ce himself could have entered the textile industry, but he simply didn't have the energy to do so.

If the textile industry is to develop, Fu Yuan cannot do it alone, and he sent the Jenny textile machine to Fu Yuan not just to save Fu Yuan.

Yes, Chen Ce was still setting up a trap for Fu Yuan, but this time the trap was even bigger.

He knew Fu Yuan's character. Fu Yuan would never let others know the manufacturing process of the Jenny textile machine, so he would most likely kill people to silence them in order to maintain the monopoly of the Jenny textile machine in Jiangxi.

Chen Ce would never let this situation happen, so he needed more people to participate in the textile industry.

That's why he found the two marquises of the Zhang family and asked them to participate in the textile industry. After they achieved prosperity in the textile industry in the capital, Chen Ce would thoroughly promote the Jenny textile machine and let more businessmen know about this technology.

But it was obvious that the two marquises were not interested in this.

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes at the two marquises of the Zhang family and said to Chen Ce, "Little brother, why did you sell this high-efficiency textile machine to them?"

"You might as well sell it to me."

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "I didn't plan to sell it to you. I planned to give it to you as a gift."

Chen Ce then asked the two marquises of the Zhang family, "Are you sure you don't want it?"

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "Haha, no!"

Chen Ce nodded and said, "Okay."

After the two marquises left, Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and asked Chen Ce, "Little brother, why did you suddenly think of selling the textile machine?"

"They are everywhere in the market. They won't buy yours. Why would you sell them textile machines?"

Chen Ce thought for a moment and said, "The original intention was to have them promote textile machines so that more businessmen would be interested in them."

"and then?"

Zhu Houzhao still didn't understand Chen Ce's ideas.

Chen Ce said: "Realizing the embryonic form of capitalism... Never mind, you don't need to know so much, just think of it as me wanting to make more money."

"Come to my place tomorrow to get the blueprints for the textile machine."

Zhu Houzhao didn't understand why, but he still said, "Okay!"

... "Haha, big brother, that boy is really silly and cute, is he trying to trick us?"

"We want to buy a textile machine. Why should we buy it from him? He doesn't sell textile machines."

"Besides, there are so many people in the textile industry in Peking. Does he think that we brothers would be interested in such a small profit?"

Zhang Yanling said to Zhang Heling with a mocking look on his face.

Zhang Heling smiled faintly and said, "This kid thinks we are fools! Without exaggerating, how many people in the Ming Dynasty can cheat us out of our money?"

"Do you really think we don't understand the market? You're planning to sell us a small textile machine?"

"Ah."

The two brothers looked disdainful. That boy was being too attentive for no reason. He must be a traitor or a thief. He might be up to something bad. It would be a good idea not to buy his textile machine!

……

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao came to Chen Ce and took back the drawings of the textile machine.

In fact, the Zhang brothers have the best promotion effect. When they promoted the farming racks last time, they came into contact with many businessmen and dignitaries.

According to Chen Ce's original plan, the promotion of textile machines this time could be exactly the same as the promotion of tillage racks last time.

Although it will not be promoted so widely, at least it can allow all the big businessmen in Beizhi to participate.

This is just the first step of his plan, the real plan is still on Fu Yuan's side.

Just as Fu Han thought, Chen Ce would certainly not give them a textile machine for nothing.

It was normal that they couldn't guess Chen Ce's purpose, because Chen Ce's real purpose was not in Jiangxi or Beizhi, but in the southeast!
After Zhu Houzhao returned to the Eastern Palace, he summoned a craftsman from the Ministry of Works to make a textile loom.

By the end of May, the Eastern Palace had also produced a Jenny loom. When the craftsman from the Ministry of Industry saw the terrifying efficiency of the embroiderer in weaving, he was completely shocked.

In fact, it was not only the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works who were shocked, even Zhu Houzhao was shocked.

It turns out that his two uncles are really boasting! It turns out that the little brother is really awesome!

This really achieved eight times the efficiency of traditional textile machines! This is terrifying!

The first day of June.

Zhu Houzhao brought Liu Jin and walked quickly towards Chen Ce.

"Little brother, you, you spinning machine...Oh my God!"

Chen Ce held his hands down and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Sell it."

"what?"

Chen Ce said: "Try to find a group of merchants and tell them that they want to sell the high-efficiency textile machine. Ask them to come and visit and then sell the textile machine."

Although this type of textile machine is extremely efficient, the profit from selling woven cloth is rather low, and it is not as profitable as selling the textile machine directly.

Making money is secondary; the main purpose is to let more businessmen know about this textile machine.

Zhu Houzhao was a little reluctant, but he believed that his younger brother must have his own plans. Since the younger brother said he wanted to pawn it, then he would sell it.

"Okay! I'll go arrange the auction."

Chen Ce hummed.

Ministry of Industry.

The craftsmen from the Ministry of Works crawled to find the Minister of Works, Xu Guan, and shouted in a frenzy as if they had seen a ghost: "Sir, the East Palace has made a textile machine."

Xu Guan frowned slightly: "So what if a textile machine was made? Why is there such a fuss? It's unruly!"

The craftsman said hurriedly, "No, no, that loom, it, it, it, it, it's weird!"

Xu Guan asked suspiciously: "What's weird?"
