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

Chapter 318 I regret it so much

Xu Guan didn't take it seriously. He had seen many textile machines and it was not something rare. Even if it was weird, it couldn't be that weird.

"Okay, you can go down if you have nothing else to do." Xu Guan waved his hand, signaling the craftsmen to leave.

The craftsman hurriedly said, "Master Xu, eight times, the weaving efficiency of that loom is eight times that of an ordinary loom!"

Xu Guan held the document in his hand and held a brush in his other hand, floating in the air, staring at the craftsman in astonishment.

Are you kidding me? !

How can a textile machine be so efficient? This is no longer efficient, it's just funny, right?
The craftsman said to Minister Xu with a determined look in his eyes: "I personally went to the East Palace to make it for the Crown Prince. The embroiderer also tested it herself. The weaving efficiency is really eight times that of traditional textile machines!"

Xu Guan stood up suddenly and said hurriedly: "Take me to the East Palace to have a look!"

……

The Zhang brothers got up early this morning and heard from the servants that a sale was being held in Meiyuan.

Selling textile machines.

Zhang Yanling said with a mocking look on his face: "Brother, it must be that kid Chen Ce."

"Yesterday he tried to sell the textile machine to us, but you and I cleverly rejected him. Now he is trying to sell it to private merchants. This person is so cunning!"

Zhang Heling shook his head and said confidently, "No, it's not just that kid Chen Ce, but also our very smart nephew of the crown prince."

"Haha, this guy has been hanging out with Chen Ce lately, and his brain has gone haywire."

"What's so good about a textile machine? Which merchant would buy it? Unless he uses his status as the crown prince to force the sale, but he obviously doesn't dare to do so openly."

Zhang Yanling asked suspiciously: "Oh? Why?"

Zhang Heling said speechlessly: "Are you a fool? A member of the royal family doing such a lowly business, if the censors, the emperor, and my sister knew about it, wouldn't he be beaten to tears?"

"hehe."

Zhang Heling smiled and said calmly: "You and I happen to be free today, so let's go and take a look. Tsk tsk, I seem to have seen Chen Ce's helpless and confused look because no one bought the textile machine!"

There are not many businessmen coming to Meiyuan today, but they are all big businessmen in the textile industry.

Small merchants were not qualified to come, but big merchants came to observe with a skeptical attitude. It was worth it for them to take some time to verify whether the efficiency of the so-called new textile machine was really as efficient as Zhu Houzhao said.

What if?
Merchants who can become big merchants in the capital are not short-sighted.

When the embroiderer had been weaving in the house for half an hour and had woven forty pieces of cloth and brought them to several big businessmen, there was a burst of gasps of surprise from the audience!
The house was sealed, with only one machine, no cloth, and no extra looms.

In other words, the weaving efficiency of this new textile machine is indeed so efficient!

For them, this was simply a miracle! Who would have believed that a new textile machine could have such high efficiency and production capacity?

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Yanling laughed happily, especially when he saw the quiet scene in the Plum Garden. He said to Zhang Heling, "Brother, look, these businessmen are speechless. They don't say a word."

Zhang Heling shook his head slightly and said, "Stupid! This Chen Ce is really too stupid! Does he really think that businessmen are fools?"

He put his hands behind his back, slowly walked up to Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao, and asked, "How much do you sell this textile machine for?"

Chen Ce thought for a moment and said, "We haven't set the price yet. We plan to set the price at thirty taels per unit."

Zhang Heling: “…”

He was speechless and said to Chen Ce, "Thirty taels? Why don't you go and rob them? A loom outside costs ten taels. Your high price will scare people speechless!"

"Who would buy it? Are you crazy?"

No wonder they wanted to sell me a textile machine before. They thought I was a fool. Unfortunately, the smartest person in the capital is Zhang Heling. It is not easy to cheat us!

Zhang Yanling also smiled and said, "If you offer three taels of silver, we can still consider it. If you offer thirty taels, whoever can buy it, I will give you a piece of it!"

Zhu Houzhao said unhappily: "Didn't you eat it last time? Why do you want to eat it again? Do you miss the taste?"

Zhang Yanling: “…”

This nephew! What kind of words are you talking about? Such a disrespectful and unruly kid!

As they were talking, a businessman was the first to react and asked hurriedly, "How much is this textile machine?"

Liu Jin said calmly: "Thirty taels of silver."

The merchant said, "How many are there? I want them all!"

hiss!
The Zhang brothers were stunned and looked at the businessman in surprise, thinking, "Are you a fool? Thirty taels, not three taels. Are you crazy?"

Liu Jin said: "There is only this one at the moment, the rest have not been made yet."

"I want them all!" the businessman said impatiently.

Another merchant came out in a hurry and said to Liu Jin, "Thirty-five taels. I'll take as much as you make. The more the better."

What? Why would someone stupidly raise the price?

Does this person have a problem with his brain?
Several merchants stood up at this time and raised the price to forty taels without blinking an eye!
The main reason is that this machine is so powerful. It is definitely worth buying such an efficient textile machine for forty taels!
Hearing that the merchant had raised the price to forty taels, the Zhang brothers' three views were completely overturned. They opened their mouths wide in disbelief and were dumbfounded.

Zhang Heling asked Zhang Yanling with a trembling voice: "Second brother, you, you are going to eat a lump, you really want to eat a lump!"

"Forty taels! This loom is sold for forty taels!"

Zhang Yanling: “…”

Oh my god, how can it be so expensive? Are they crazy? There are so many textile machines out there, why is this one so expensive?

Zhang Heling stared at Chen Ce blankly with longing in his eyes. Silence was better than words at this moment, and he asked Chen Ce the reason in silence.

Chen Ce said: "Oh, this new textile machine has a very high textile efficiency."

"How high?"

Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "It's about eight times the cloth woven by traditional textile machines."

What the hell!so cruel?

No wonder it's so expensive, that makes sense...

"Hey, haha, you said at the beginning that you would sell to us brothers first, does that still count now?"

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and said, "Obviously it doesn't count. I gave you a chance and treated you as my good friends. You were the first one I thought of, but you are useless!"

"I gave you the chance, but you didn't take it. Who can you blame?"

Zhang Heling: “…”

The corners of his mouth twitched violently, he had difficulty breathing, and felt like he was suffocating.

But you didn't tell us at that time that this textile machine was so amazing! If you had told us earlier, wouldn't we have bought it?

Zhang Heling laughed, his laughter was a little ugly, and said to Chen Ce: "We are master and apprentice, don't sell it to them, sell it to me, at a lower price, we can buy a few more, how about it?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "Not really."
