"I need to discuss with my brothers in Hangzhou." Lan Bao thought he was at a disadvantage because Li Yi asked him for money.
He wanted to agree because Li Yi saved his mother.
He was ready to give up his share and tell others that he wanted to repay Li Yi's kindness.
"Less? How can the people who do business with me earn less? I will give you toilet water, soap, and small mirrors to sell. Which one of them will earn less? "
"You silly child." Old Madam Li slapped her son's head.
"Li Dongzhu is short of your money? Owner Li's donation will be counted as one hundred thousand taels. "The Old Madame was exasperated.
Old Madam Li had lived in Li Family Zhuangzi for a long time and saw how Shopkeeper Liang and others made money.
This year, Yu Huaide and others went to further places to trade and brought back a lot of things.
Their net worth was less than 10,000 yuan and they were too embarrassed to talk to Li Dongzhu.
How many businessmen wanted to partner with Li Dongzhu but failed?
"Yes, Mother. I was wrong." Lan Bao quickly apologized.
Toilet water, soap, small mirrors. He knew these were good things to earn money.
If he could sell them to the Japanese Empire, the price would be high. With the Winged Knights' participation, his safety would be guaranteed.
"I will give you this trade route. Can you read?"
Li Yi wanted to maintain the trade route. It was more convenient to have a familiar place than an unfamiliar place.
Lan Bao shook his head. Where could he learn to read?
"I will ask someone to teach you. You cannot be an official if you are not literate." Li Yi solved this problem.
"Can I be an official with merit?" Lan Bao did not understand.
Then he was slapped on the head again. "Are you stupid? Merit is merit. An official is an official. Li Dongzhu will arrange an official position for you. "
"Li Dongzhu said that if I am an official, I can … Ah, I know, Mother." Lan Bao thought of a group of Zaifu.
When they were talking to Li Yi, it was like they were taking advantage of Li Yi. But when he thought about it carefully, he understood that they were joking.
Why wasn't Zaifu joking with him? No, when he first saw him, he didn't even speak to him. Instead, he spoke a few words to his mother.
Now that he knew who he was, he encouraged him again.
Since he was acquainted with the Zaifu, it would be easy to arrange an official position for him.
"Li Dongzhu, I'll have to trouble you to tell the Chancellors about the official position." Lan Bao was very embarrassed.
"Ah? Tell Prime Minister Zaifu? Oh! You can tell me, but the problem is that you don't have an official right now. I have to think about what kind of official it is. "
Li Yi realized where the problem lay. What position should he give Lan Bao?
He said it was diplomacy, but he was actually doing business.
If it was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, then it would be the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue was responsible for external affairs and did not include sales.
That should be considered as an attempt by the Ministry of Revenue to expand the tertiary industry, which was directly under the command of the Tang dynasty and the Japanese Empire.
He had encountered such a situation before.
At that time, the country vigorously promoted the tertiary industry, and the government had cars and channels to buy things from other places at low prices.
For example, apples. A cart of big apples was sold at the local farmer's market.
Everyone in the government received dividends, and according to their ranks, the dividends were different.
After selling a few times, the leaders found out that they could make money. So, why should they share it with others?
So, the matter was over. In fact, the government was still using this name to operate, but the money was already in …
Later, the government ordered that the government was not allowed to sell apples, and this apple business was transferred to the relatives of the leaders.
Li Yi knew that the country was like that at that time. There were endless tigers and flies.
For example, in the current Tang dynasty, there were indeed clean officials in the provincial government and the counties outside.
For example, Zhang Jiuling was not a greedy person.
When the roads were being repaired, he personally helped to see how to repair them. He was also an official and a technician.
There were also local officials who had a lot of family members and did not have enough to eat. They would borrow money to buy food and wait for their salaries to be paid.
Now, they did not need to pay back their debts, and their salaries were increased. A portion of the rent was given, and 10 million was given to them.
For greedy people, double the amount was meaningless.
For non-greedy officials, it solved a big problem.
For example, the bailiffs of the two counties in Chang 'an had three to four times the salary. The commoners would even help to find a chicken.
"Wait for me. I'll go over and ask what kind of official you should be." Li Yi put down his chopsticks and went to the private room next to him.
As soon as he went in, everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Let's talk about the situation. Lan Bao opened up the trade route from Hangzhou to the Japanese Empire. I want to give him a meritorious official and an official with real power.
In terms of business, I will take 30%, the imperial court will take 50%, and he and the people in Hangzhou will take 20%.
The meritorious officials are ready-made. I think the official with real power will be under the Ministry of Revenue.
Let's call it the Tertiary Industry Economic and Trade Exchange Guidance Office. Let him be the director, Rank 7.
It will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue and will not be controlled by the local government. "
Li Yi looked around and stated the purpose of his visit.
"I don't agree. When the time comes, won't it still be under your control? You take 30%, they take 20%, and the imperial court can only take 50%. No way. "
Bi Goo was the first to object. He thought it was too little.
Li Yi looked at the other ministers. They all nodded. In their opinion, Lan Bao should not be given a bonus. It was okay to give him a salary.
Li Yi also nodded. "Well, we really shouldn't cause trouble for the imperial court."
He turned his head and said to Li Longji, "Third brother, set up a Royal Overseas Favor Group of the Tang dynasty. Lan Bao will be the head, and he will be a Rank 5 official.
The imperial family will take 50%, I will take 30%, and Lan Bao will take 20%. What do you think? I promised Lan Bao to give him real power. "
"Okay, it's settled." Li Longji agreed.
Li Yi quickly turned around and changed his footsteps.
The others were still quiet and dumbfounded. Was he kicked out because of a disagreement?
"Long Ze, how can you be so reckless?"
Song Jing was unhappy. The imperial court's money was gone, and it was replaced by the emperor's private money.
He blamed Bi Goo. Bi Goo just said no.
"You didn't agree?" Bi Goo retorted.
Su Yi was also annoyed: "It's a Rank 7 official's business. Now, 50% profit is gone. Li Yi is doing business. How much money can he make with 50% profit?"
"Is this money taxed?" Bi Goo thought of the business and considered the tax.
"Even if it is tax, 30% tax or 50% profit? Long Ze, you are making a mistake. "Song Jing was still distressed.
"You go to Xiao Yi and tell her that I'm making a mistake. I can't." Bi Goo turned his face to the side.
"You don't have to be like this. I will explore the road first and see if I can make money. If I lose money, I will accept it."
Li Longji didn't want Song Jing to look for it. You are against it, so I can get it. You want to go back on your words?
"Did you notice? Li Yi's temper is rising. How can he do things like this? "Yao Chong urged and said bad things about Li Yi.
"His ability to make money and skills that benefit the country and the people have increased more." Li Chengqi targeted Yao Chong.
"Can't the imperial court send a fleet to trade? Why do you have to partner with Li Yi? "Liu Youqiu was disgusted with Li Yi's attitude.
The group of people lowered their heads and ate the crabs. Oh, the fried crabs were delicious. There was more meat.
They drank a mouthful of rice wine and felt comfortable.
