The emperor knew that Gao Li was not easy to deal with, especially in his best aspects. But he really never thought that everything would be so unhappy.

The Emperor is not afraid of spending money on silver, because he has calculated the calculations. How much money would it cost if he wanted to go to war with Gao Li? Thinking about the current silver, it is actually not even a corner.

But it must be useful to spend money.

The Emperor of Forging Hammer was created, but now it has been recalled. The people in the workshop are correcting one by one according to the problems they have received. Of course, this is no problem. As long as it can be changed, the Emperor firmly believes that he will definitely catch up gradually. But this cotton...

The emperor once went to Lizhuang on his last trip to Yannan. He was really shocked by the degree of mechanization of Lizhuang. There were rows of looms inside the huge factory area. Various machinery kept making huge noises, and workers shuttled through them and connected wires. A skilled worker could manage several machines! There was no need for anyone to operate at all. The efficiency of the machine with true gas power was amazing.

At that time, the emperor was very envious, so when Lizhuang started selling any machinery, the emperor would buy it at a high price. He had to understand what the knowledge Gao Li brought from another world was.

But the result is not as easy as it seems, and these machines are not easy to use.

Perhaps the emperor only showed the machine now, but in fact, the imitation of these machinery had been carried out long before Gao Li started selling this machinery. The sale of machinery allowed the emperor to avoid detours, but the reliability of these machinery was far less than that of Lizhuang.

The emperor knew that there was something called machine tools in Lizhuang. The emperor also knew that Lizhuang destroyed all the eliminated machine tools. The wood was burned to ashes and metal was put into the furnace.

In fact, the emperor always wanted to ask why Gao Li wanted to sell these machinery. If he had maintained a monopoly, the outside world would never be able to imitate it. Wouldn't he always make money?

But now, the emperor seems to understand. It is so difficult to imitate Lizhuang's machinery with his own strength as the emperor. How can an ordinary workshop have that ability!

Disaster.

The cabinet in front of me was specially formed to deal with Gao Li. There were important officials in the court, bachelors from the Academy of Geology, controllers of the Imperial Merchants, and intelligence personnel like the Eighth Prince. These people sat together but had no choice but to Gao Li.

Why?

Because Gao Li mastered the technology that was too advanced, so advanced that he could ignore all kinds of means.

Although the emperor did not propose this time the purchase of cotton was not the case with the emperor, he also agreed.

The emperor looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault for this matter. I must reflect on it, because I have always thought about problems as an emperor. I thought I could use the emperor's identity to suppress others. But now I understand that this is a business war, a war. Gao Li will not give me any chance. Therefore, this matter is my responsibility, and I must re-examine the business war with Gao Li."

When the people in the cabinet heard the emperor say this, they immediately calmed down. They called the minister guilty, but they felt much more at ease.

The cabinet left, and the emperor looked at the thing in front of him.

Just now, these people had calculated that the silver needed to purchase these cotton was not a small amount. In the past, the emperor really didn't know that the small Lizhuang could do this. They turned cotton into cotton cloth and sold it to all parts of the Central Plains. This business looked tempting, but it wouldn't work without complete preparation.

Chu Zhongyuan just said that Gao Li had machinery to process cotton directly from the place of origin, and brought back to Lizhuang was just cotton wool and cotton seeds. The emperor did not have this ability, and the caravan could not bring the seed cotton back. So he could only hire someone to handle it locally. This was a sum of money; transporting the cotton back was another sum of money; after the cotton was shipped, it needed to dry and store it on the site, which required a huge warehouse. This was still a sum of money; then, the cotton needed to be cleaned, cleaned, made into cotton wool, and then spinning and weaving. This required recruitment of workers, which was all money!

All are money!

The emperor seemed to suddenly understand why the cotton cloth was so expensive.

Ling Xue walked in and looked at the emperor.

"Is it not going well?" Ling Xue asked.

The emperor shook his head and showed a soft smile on his face: "It's not going well, it can't be fought."

Ling Xue asked, "I'll take action?"

The emperor shook his head again and said, "If you take action, it means I have given up on him." Mobile::

Ling Xue said: "But you have lost."

The emperor smiled and said, "I lost, but I will not admit defeat. I will continue to find ways to defeat him. I am the emperor, I own the entire Central Plains, and as long as I want to win, I will definitely win."

Ling Xue said: "So, why don't you admit that some of you lose?"

The emperor asked, "What do you mean is, I'll tell Gao Li, I can't eat this part of cotton, so I don't want it?"

Ling Xue said: "Yes, Gao Li will appreciate it."

The emperor said, "Gao Li will definitely receive my affection. If I charge it twice and sell it to him for the original price, he will definitely want it. I understand this brat. But he will definitely not collect one or two cotton from the cotton farmers and landlords, because this head cannot be raised and cannot be opened. Once it is opened, everyone will think of making a profit like this in the future. Anyway, if it is not profitable, it will be impossible to collect it back at the original price."

Ling Xue nodded and said, "You are right, then, aren't you worried that he will collect cotton from Yanan?"

The emperor said: "Although Yanan has a lot of land, few people, and the farmers' abilities are limited. Even if they are allowed to farm, the quality of cotton may not be able to improve within a few years. Gao Li started out by weaving. He occupied Yannan for so long and must have brought cotton seeds into Yanan. But this time he would rather stop production, which only means that Yanan's cotton is not enough or is not qualified. Therefore, I guess he will not do such a thing within a few years."

Ling Xue smiled and snuggled beside the emperor and said, "I am worthy of being the man I like. I can calculate everything accurately and see through it."

The emperor gently stroked Ling Xue's hair, sighed, and said, "Look at people, I can, but I really can't do anything about these techniques. Maybe I'm so kind to them in the old wastes in the Gewu Academy. Look at the things they make, what shit are they!"

Ling Xue chuckled and said, "It seems okay to me. I haven't visited Lizhuang before, so I don't know what it looks like there."

The emperor recalled that it was his scene in Lizhuang, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Lizhuang is even farther away than the realm of heaven and man."

Ling Xue said: "So, don't you really need my help?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Can you still believe me?"

Ling Xue said: "Of course I can trust you, and it may not be true that He is Miaoyin."

When the emperor heard Chu Miaoyin, he immediately smiled and said, "Miaoyin trusts Gao Li very much, and Gao Li has never let down Miaoyin's trust in him."

"It's a pity that she doesn't like me. She thinks I'm too cruel." Ling Xue still smiled.

The emperor said, "You are cruel."

Ling Xue said: "Your daughter trusts Gao Li now more than trust you. What are you going to do?"

The emperor laughed and said, "There is no way, let her go!"

Gao Li discovered that this emperor was so cruel that he actually ate the cotton production capacity in one bite.

Gao Li didn't feel anything yet. The big landlords and cotton farmers were frightened, especially those who came to pull cotton. The eyes clearly showed the expression of "You dare to offend the emperor, you are finished!"

As a result, these landlords who were originally planning to make double the money ended up selling at the original price.

In other words, they not only lost the penalty for liquidated damages, but in the end they did not make any money. Then they offended Gao Li, but also asked the emperor to forcefully eat this batch of cotton.

Some of the big landlords had already woken up and realized something was wrong. They turned around and asked Gao Li to take away the cotton again.

But Gao Li made it clear and said no, so he didn't want it.

The emperor's caravan was far faster than Wu Youcai's caravan, and they had to organize people to deal with cotton. The landlords faced the officials who came from Shangjing every day. Although these officials didn't say anything on the surface, the hints in their words were already very clear.

This is a problem between the emperor and Gao Li. Under pressure, the emperor had to buy your cotton twice the price, but do you dare to sell it to the emperor twice the price? The fact is that the emperor didn't even want to pay the original price! The emperor has no intention of entering the market at the moment! He just wanted to try the waters!

What don’t these big landlords understand? So, not long after, the big landlords immediately wrote to Wu Youcai, and they could also not have the penalty for liquidated damages, as long as the original price is enough!

You know, although these landlords had previously received a deposit of 10% of Wu Youcai and gave half a deposit of 30% of the liquidated damages. But now, the liquidated damages are not needed. In addition to the part eaten by the emperor, the remaining cotton price will be unprecedentedly cheap!

When the news was passed to Gao Li, Gao Li immediately said: Only children care about winning or losing, adults only care about gain or loss! If you have money, you won’t make a bastard, you will collect it! You will collect it all!

In fact, as the emperor expected, Gao Li has indeed opened a new cotton planting area in Yanan, but due to the soil and planting technology issues, the cotton yield and quality are average. Although it has reached the cotton harvest season, not many people can truly meet the Lizhuang cotton standards. If cotton can be used normally, there is naturally no need to be unable to get along with the money. Computer terminal::/

As a result, these big landlords were as fierce as tigers, but they lost 35% of the time. They worked hard all year round, so they felt so confused.

There are still a group of people who, because they received the news early, knew that Lizhuang would limit the production of cloth. They immediately stocked up a large amount of cloth in the warehouse and waited for the price of cotton cloth to rise next year, so he could make a fortune.

As a result, before the immature operation could be tested, Wu Youcai's fleet had already brought the equipment into the cotton production area and began to process the cotton.

People are accustomed to buying cloth from Lizhuang. Once there is no shortage of cloth in Lizhuang, no one will go to other cloth shops. As a result, those who stock up on cloth have to quickly lower their prices and release their cloths. Otherwise, when new cotton comes, the price of cloth will definitely drop, and then...
