The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

After clarifying the importance of the division of labor and cooperation in agricultural production, Li Changge skillfully transitioned the topic to workshop production, taking the paper industry as an example to analyze the problem in simple terms.

He paused and said earnestly, "This paper-making process follows the same principle. If a single craftsman were to do everything from raw material processing to paper making on his own, his production capacity would not be able to compete with the huge industries of the family. "

"If you can convince Your Majesty to adopt this idea, things will be very different. Li Changge's tone revealed confidence.

"The new workshop layout cannot continue the traditional centralized model, but must be ......," he goes on to elaborate on the concept of sub-sector and specialized production.

The reason why modern industry can achieve explosive growth is rooted in the refinement of the division of labor.

For example, Li Changge said that in the era before industrialization, even if a worker was highly skilled, he might only be able to make 500 needles a day from iron wire, and the combined strength of five or six workers was only a few thousand. But when these craftsmen are subdivided into several links for professional operation, just like the factory during the Industrial Revolution, the efficiency can be increased by several times or even dozens of times, and the output of tens of thousands of needles is no longer a fantasy.

"The key is that each process has a dedicated person in charge of each process, and there is no need to be exhaustive, so that the work efficiency will naturally be greatly improved. "

Li Changge explained while observing the reactions of Li Er and the others.

As he elaborated on the modern concept of "big industry", the expressions on everyone's faces gradually froze, as if time had stood still at this moment.

Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but gasp and feel awe.

"The talent of the son is really from a high position, and we are ashamed of ourselves!" Wei Zheng was full of emotion and smiled bitterly.

"If our generation could have one percent of the insight and wisdom of the son, today's situation would never be so passive. "

Li Changge listened to it, but he laughed it off, and said boldly: "Brothers, don't hold it so high! No matter how much you praise it, we are also brothers, not some Tang Dynasty monarchs." Come on, don't talk about this, it's important to drink and eat!" his affinity instantly eased the tension.

He continued to assure: "As long as you can successfully introduce this concept to Your Majesty, I guarantee that even if you just get a few acres of land on the outskirts of Chang'an City as a factory, the production efficiency can reach the level of Qinghe Cui's, and it may even double." Li Changge's eyes flashed with a cunning and determined light.

"At that time, no matter how others drive up prices, you just need to keep prices low and ship in large quantities, and your market share will definitely rise. The Qinghe Cui clan can either reluctantly sell their inventory at a lower price in order to protect themselves, or they can only go to the Ganlu Hall to bow their heads and beg His Majesty for mercy. When the time comes, won't the initiative of the entire market be in the palm of His Majesty's hands?" Li Changge's words were loud and clear, like an invisible sword, pointing directly at the core ...... of the traditional forces

Talking and laughing are ......

Li Changge temporarily left the table because the maidservant Ying'er was not by his side, and went to the back kitchen to help cook the delicacies.

He felt that hospitality and personal efforts were more sincere.

"Everyone, please wait a moment, and the delicious food will be served immediately. After speaking, Li Changge hurriedly left the front hall.

After Li Changge left, the originally calm atmosphere was instantly broken, and irrepressible excitement and pride appeared on Li Er's face. "Have you all seen it? I, Li Changge, the son of Li Shimin, is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and a unicorn is reincarnated!" His voice was full of joy, "This child's intelligence and courage are unparalleled in the world!"

Recalling the accident outside Youzhou City, Li Er was full of emotion.

I thought that there would be many auspicious murders for this, but I didn't expect that not only did I find my long-lost flesh and blood, but also found that this child was so outstanding.

When Li Er glanced around, he found that although Wei Zheng was smiling and deep in thought, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others were pale, and their expressions were nervous as if they were frightened birds, lest they become prey under the cat's claws or in the snake's mouth.

He frowned puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you, do you have any doubts about my son's strategy?"

When Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing heard this, they were so frightened that they almost bounced up from their seats, and responded in unison: "Wei Chen will never dare to have any dissatisfaction with His Highness's strategy!"

They secretly complained in their hearts: Li Changge's tricks were like a thunderbolt, quietly cutting off the economic lifeline of the Qinghe Cui clan, without the need to meet each other, just by virtue of wisdom and tact, the foundation of the Qinghe Cui clan can be shaken, which is really amazing and terrifying. This group of important ministers in the court were all apprehensive, worried that if their family had the slightest thing to do with the melon fields and Li Xia, I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape Li Changge's sharp vision and decisive methods.

"Since you don't have any opinions, why are your faces so ugly?" Li Er asked in confusion.

Du Ruhui and the others lamented in their hearts, but they couldn't cry or laugh on their faces. How dare you have any opinions, you are simply frightened by Li Changge's methods!

They all thought in their hearts that they would have to find out when they went home, and if anyone in their own family had something unclear and innocent, they would be severely punished in order to protect themselves, after all, it would be a disaster to provoke this His Highness if he was not careful!

Five surnames and seven wangs, these wealthy families mourned silently in their hearts, and while Li Changge had not returned to Chang'an, the days they could enjoy privileges were numbered.

"Your Majesty, we have absolutely no opinion!" the crowd assured.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and continued to enjoy the hot pot feast in front of him, but his heart blossomed. He thought to himself, this Qinghe Cui clan is also to blame, and if he has to hit Li Changge's iron plate, he is afraid that he will have a hard time in the future. If God had eyes, he would not easily let go of those who offended Qilin'er.

As for the other magnates, he also secretly regretted that there was not much left of their good days, and if they still wanted to eat and drink spicy food, it was recommended to ...... it as soon as possible

Li Er recalled that he had tried his best to dismiss public opinion and dispose of Cui Zhengde of Qinghe Cui's with an iron fist, and his heart was filled with warmth.

He firmly believed that as a father, his son must stand up and avenge his son's humiliation, and that as the king of a country, his subjects should be treated unjustly, and it is equally incumbent upon him to uphold justice. If we can't do this, wouldn't we be worthy of the title of "father?" How can we make the people of the world sincerely join us?

In the face of pressure from all sides, Li Er was glad that he had stuck to the bottom line, and the edict carrying justice and authority not only announced Cui Zhengde's death sentence, but also gave a fair answer to the oppressed Li Min and his humiliated son.

The act of punishing evil and promoting good, as if he had received a response from heaven, made him experience the long-lost joy.

Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in Li Er's heart, this time he came to Ge'er, not only enjoyed the food and wine beyond the palace, but also accidentally solved a thorny problem, and even the experience of governing the country seemed to have improved invisibly.

After suddenly realizing it, he laughed at himself: the so-called good retribution is not the absolute truth, but it is just because of the wisdom of his own child Li Changge that he is far superior to those powerful families who are in power and in the opposition.
