Meng Haoran and Wang Wei had the same idea.
"The main purpose of the train is transportation. It can also help block floods at critical moments. Usually, it is not used. Or it can grow into a house. "
Li Yi saw that others were not willing to think about it, so he decided to talk about it himself.
Everyone looked at him and said, "Please continue."
"Currently, there are few pedestrians in the Tang dynasty. Trains are mainly used for transportation. As long as the transportation cost is lower than the cost of traveling by land and water, merchants are naturally willing to spend money.
In addition, the Yellow River can't be traveled in winter. They can only travel by land. The weather is cold. Plus the time cost, even if it is slightly more expensive, merchants will still choose the train. "
Li Yi first talked about the transportation cost. Money can move the hearts of officials.
"I think it is quite a lot." Zhangsun Xin was moved. Although he always did good deeds, it did not affect his happiness when making money.
"The livestock used for transportation can be used elsewhere." Meng Haoran considered saving the livestock resources.
"Time is the most important thing for living things." Wang Wei went straight to the point. He loved eating seafood.
"The reason why the train stops for a long time is related to the amount of goods loaded and unloaded.
Oh, it doesn't stop. People go up to load and unload, swing the carriage, and connect the carriage.
The closer the carriage to the destination, the more it will be connected at the back. After unloading, it will be connected to another carriage.
The more carriages there are, the more time it takes. The more goods there are, the more carriages there are. The key is to organize the supply. "
Li Yi used the utensils on the table to demonstrate how to unload and unload the carriages.
The three of them understood. They were waiting here.
"The local economy is prosperous and the organization is strong. This can be seen from the stopping time of the train."
Meng Haoran felt the weight of the responsibility. The officials of Lantian County had to work hard.
"Collecting taxes, right?" Wang Wei considered the problem of money.
"If you sell in Lantian County, you have to pay taxes in Lantian County. Or you can unload the goods and pay taxes. Take the tax receipt and go elsewhere. The taxes are stacked. "
Li Yi wondered if there should be a policy to refund the taxes. The whole batch of goods would be taxed.
After distribution, the wholesalers below would pay taxes again.
At the retail end, it was still the same tax.
Even if the tax rate of 1 in 30 would become 1 in 10.
A batch of goods was 100 cun. the cost was 80 cun, and the profit was 20 cun. The 20 cun profit would be 10 cun to the court.
Of course, the actual calculation was not like that....
At the end of the sales terminal, the sales volume was one hundred taels. In the middle and the front, less than one hundred taels were collected as the total amount of tax.
"We will adjust the products and increase the manpower. We will see where we need to build warehouses." Wang Wei promised. As an official, one must do their job well.
"Where are the people?" Zhangsun Xin knew that the train could carry people.
"It depends on how many ships the barbarian merchants have docked. The barbarian merchants charge a lot for the tickets. It's five times more expensive than the people of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yi originally did not think about barbarian merchants. He only thought that people would bring goods to sell or visit relatives. Tourists would definitely belong to wealthy families.
After thinking about it again, would the foreign businessmen want to see Chang 'an? Are you willing to stroll around Luoyang?
The barbarians were rich, and their consumption would drive the local economy!
"It's not good for the barbarians to charge a high price for the tickets, right? No matter what, our Tang dynasty is still a great country. "
Wang Wei was afraid that outsiders would say that the Tang dynasty was not a country of etiquette, so he treated everyone equally.
"Maojie and I had the same idea, so I specially arranged for the carriage. The cushions inside are made of silk, and there are free meals and drinks.
We will give the best service to the barbarians, and our own people will sit on ordinary chairs. The barbarians will spend five times more money and enjoy ten times more service! "
Li Yi followed Wang Wei's words. Look, how to talk to Li Yi.
Zhangsun Xin blinked hard. She remembered that she had learned another skill of deceiving people. No, the skill of etiquette.
Sure enough, following Li Yi was fulfilling.
If she did not oppose Li Yi two years ago, how big would her family business be now?
The key was that every time she tried to trick Li Yi, she was the one who suffered losses.
Meng Haoran looked at Li Yi with that kind of gaze. "Our Tang dynasty has Gang Rou. It's stable!"
He did not have any psychological burden to deceive outsiders. How much money could barbarians make from buying and selling goods?
"So, how to attract barbarians to Lantian County is the task of Lantian County officials.
We have to be unique. What others have is better, and what others don't have, we have.
For example, Lantian County has jade. Do you know how to fake jade? Do you know how to describe a flawed jade as a good jade? "
Li Yi looked around. Everyone shook their heads. How to do it? They had never learned it before.
"Uh … I have some ideas. I need to use other materials. If I want to make something old, it will take some time.
For example, I can use two months to make an ancient jade that looks like a thousand years old.
For jade that is not crystal clear, I can add red veins like blood to it and turn it into a blood jade.
Jade that is not good at the start, after processing, it will look oily and smooth. "
Li Yi Zhen gave Yu Yu a few examples to open up a way of thinking.
Zhangsun Xin grabbed Li Yi's hand. "Li Dongzhu, brother, uncle, although I am not talented, I have a filial heart. Master, I am not as good as you …"
"Wrong, wrong. You are an elder." Li Yi pulled his hand away.
"Can an elder order you?" Zhangsun Xin asked expectantly.
"What do you think? I said processing jade was an example. "Li Yi wiped his hands and wanted to find water to wash them.
"Yes, I want to learn from this example. I don't need to worry about other things. I am a patrol. "
Zhangsun Xin still looked at Li Yi. He dared to swear that he sincerely wanted to learn how to fake jade.
Oh my god, Li Yi really hid it well. He actually has such a method? If I can learn it …
Li Yi ignored Zhangsun Xin and said to Wang Wei and the rest. "I also have a high alcohol content. It is not stored in the cellar. It is close to 80% alcohol.
You can use it directly. You can also use a roasted chicken. Serve it on the table, pour the alcohol and light it up. You can name it Phoenix Bathing in Fire. As for whether it is a phoenix or a phoenix, it depends on whether it is a rooster or a hen. "
"Will it taste better if you light up the alcohol?" Wang Wei smacked his lips.
"No, but the price will be more expensive. Follow this train of thought to provide services to foreign businessmen. We are the State of Etiquette. "
Li Yi emphasized the four people in the State of Etiquette.
Everyone suddenly felt disgusted with these four people. No matter how they heard it, it sounded like a derogatory term.
Seeing that they were thinking, Li Yi spoke again. "After the poppy gourd is cut, keep the gourd. The foreign businessmen have a strong taste. Boil it in soup or braise some dishes."
"Delicious?" Wang Wei smacked his lips again.
"Try not to eat it. We will use other seasonings. If you eat too much, you will get addicted. It will be uncomfortable! Forget it, I will do it in Zhuangzi. You are not allowed to touch it. "
Li Yi was worried that they would eat the poppy gourd as a dish. It was actually medicine.
"It's about time. Let's go back after eating." Li Yi saw that there was nothing left and stood up.
Big Flower had a good meal and was brought forward by the young master and big master. The young master wanted to go to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
When they arrived, the cows were tied up in a shed on the shore. From today onwards, they would have extra meals.
"Everyone is here? I said I would be here for a few days and then go back. "Li Yi saw the lineup outside and understood.
