Chapter 231 Fan Workshop

Listening to Wang Xuan’s story, Li Shimin also fell into deep thought. Although he was not always by his side when he was born, many times when he was there, the scene he saw when he went in was exactly the same as what Wang Xuan said.

He might not think anything was there before, but after Wang Xuan said this, he slowly recalled that when his women gave birth, they were not called to death during childbirth, and when they saw the child, they would smile happily.

Some people even died of dysfunction in order to see their children.

Although many people are thinking of relying on their children to be rich by their mothers, this is understandable. After all, being in a deep palace is like this!

Although there is no one around them now, Li Ke and Li Tai, who have been following them before, have been following Li Chengqian when they appeared before, but these two big men are talking about how painful it is for a woman to have a baby, which is somewhat strange.

"Xuanzi, does this woman really hurt to have a baby? If this is true, then your sister-in-law gave birth to four children for me, then she..."

"What else can it be! It's just that you have walked four times in front of the gate of hell! And just my sister-in-law's body can give birth to four brothers and sisters, which is really amazing, so I will ask you to pay more attention before. If you don't pay attention, what the consequences are? You should know better than anyone else, especially when this woman is giving birth after she is older, it's not just that she is walking in the gate of hell, but that she is going in. It's good to be able to come out, but that she is normal if she can't come out. So be careful, of course, I'm not saying that you have left your sister-in-law alone. After all, this woman is neglected, which is not a good thing, especially because you were so loving before," Wang Xuan said to Li Shimin.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuan realized something was wrong. Although he, an external minister, was Li Shimin's brother-in-law, when talking about such a very private matter with Li Shimin, he was simply seeking death!

Although Wang Xuan had no selfishness at all, he even started for the good of Li Shimin. After all, history has proved that after Li Shimin passed away from Changsun Wugui, the virtuous master of that year gradually degenerated.

But this is not something that he, a foreign minister, can say. If this is not done properly, it will kill people.

So what Li Shimin asked afterwards, Wang Xuan just kept silent and even pulled Li Shimin to the workshop.

I thought to myself, didn’t you like fans just now? Then I will take you to see the production process of fans and let you participate in the production of fans personally to distract yourself.

Not to mention that this method is really good. As soon as Li Shimin entered the workshop where he made fans, he was attracted by all kinds of fans of different sizes and materials.

Even at the instigation of Wang Xuan, he wrote a lot of calligraphy in his own hand, so that when Li Shimin came out of the fan workshop, he not only had a fan with his own inscriptions on his hand, but also a lot of more in his hand.

"Xuanzi, no one knows your fan. Why did you ask these craftsmen to do so many?" After coming out of the fan workshop, Li Shimin asked Wang Xuan in confusion.

"Second brother, you don't understand this. Now everyone doesn't recognize this fan, but you like this fan and it is particularly suitable for scholars. As long as you use it in the court, you say that this fan will be recognized by all officials! If you know this, then the students in the world will know this fan, and then you say, will my fan become a shortage? So while there are few people who know this now, I won't do more, so who will I sell it to in the future?

Moreover, the production process of this fan is not too complicated. Ordinary carpenters can learn it by tearing it out one or two. So before they learn it, I won’t prepare more and buy more. Are you still waiting for them to imitate it and compete with me?” Seeing that Li Shimin was puzzled, Wang Xuan told Li Shimin about his business practices.

"You kid, you can really make plans! Since you even plan to me, I want 30% of the benefits of this fan, but if you sell this batch, will it be a bit bad? And I think you must have a backup plan. Tell me, what is your backup plan?" Li Shimin said and approached Wang Xuan and asked.

"Second brother is wise, you guessed this. I do have a backup plan, and this backup plan is on this paper. Maybe the second brother is guessing what backup plan it is." Wang Xuan and Li Shimin kept him in hiding.

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard that his hand was on paper, he became interested and took the paper fan and studied it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't find anything. He could only ask Wang Xuan without shame.

"Second brother, I actually sell this paper fan just to promote my newly developed paper. Haven't you found that the paper fan's paper is tougher than ordinary paper, and the ink marks are less suitable for smudge than the paper used for printing?" Wang Xuan saw that Li Shimin didn't see the trick, so he explained to Li Shimin with a smile.

"You said this, it's true! Then say that, is it true that you sell paper fans, and paper, and inkstones are the true. But I still think you have other means, tell me! What is it?" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan and asked.

"My second brother is smart, so I won't keep it aside. This is true for selling paper fans, and this ink inkstones is also true, but this fan is actually a big deal. I think so. After someone imitates this paper fan, I will launch a sandalwood fan, silk fan, jade fan and other fans of different materials. In this way, if we can make this fan for ten or eight years, no one can complete it and imitate it. As for ten or eight years, I may not be able to see this small industry even if I look at it." Wang Xuan smiled and told Li Shimin simply that his plan was told.

After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes changed when he looked at Wang Xuan, especially Wang Xuan's last sentence, "I don't like this small industry yet", which made Li Shimin speechless, but he also agreed with Wang Xuan's statement.

Moreover, as far as Li Shimin knew about Wang Xuan, he might not have looked down on it at that time, but at that time, there were too many industries that were more profitable than this industry, so he could not control it at all, so he looked down on it.

Li Shimin was wrong about this. If Wang Xuan really thought about it, he would divide most of these industries at that time, and he would just get a dividend and leave only a few larger industries. So at that time it was not that he looked down on him, but that he would not care about it.

But Wang Xuan is not easy to talk to Li Shimin now, but this is what he really thinks.
