"Old Bi, are we having fish for lunch?" Li Yi suddenly asked.
"10 million in taxes. Don't try to change the topic." Bi Goo stuck to the issue of money.
"Old Bi, don't you think you are too narrow-minded? Money is just a currency. It's a medium. It … "
"Cut the crap. 10 million." Bi Goo did not listen to anything else. He was determined.
"Selling seeds. The seeds I brought back from outside, such as tomatoes, kidney beans, rubber trees, sweet potatoes, sunflowers, etc. The export tax is 200%."
Li Yi raised two fingers. 200%.
"You want to sell the good stuff to others?" Bi Goo did not think about money anymore. He was angry.
"If I don't sell, can't others take it? The coastline is so long. If I sell it first, won't it be better than them buying it secretly? "
Li Yi retorted loudly. Look at the Japanese Empire. They can take anything away.
"Since others can smuggle it out, why should they buy it from you?" Bi Goo looked at Li Yi like he was looking at an idiot.
"They smuggled the chili? If I don't release it, how can others steal it? Before mass marketing, I will sell it to them. Then I will market it. "
Li Yi gave an example. Chili is the seed of the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Outsiders can only buy chili powder and chili oil that cannot be grown.
"Can barbarians sell something worth 10 million in one go?" Bi Goo was tempted.
"We can collect a few million in taxes with a 20% tariff. How is 10 million considered money? How much is my blood coral? I haven't printed money yet. I have to hurry. "
Li Yi knew the value of foreign trade. It was not like the Tang dynasty collecting rent. It was tiring to get 10 million.
"There is enough money. If others buy it, don't they think that it will be worthless after you release it? They can steal it. "
Bi Gou thought of himself as a barbarian and considered things from the perspective of a barbarian.
"Did they get the chili seeds? I assure them that my Li Family Zhuangzi will never release any seeds in the Tang dynasty for the next 20 years. Otherwise, I'll compensate them tenfold. "
Li Yi said solemnly. He absolutely supported the spirit of the contract.
"What about the people of the Tang dynasty? I'm still waiting for your corn and potatoes. "Bi Goo continued to ask.
"Later, we found out that there was a foreign merchant who actually dared to sell a large number of seeds to the Tang dynasty and reaped the profits. This allowed the Tang dynasty to grow more and more crops.
I earnestly requested His Majesty to send troops to suppress them. We captured countless barbarian merchants and ruthlessly dealt a blow to the arrogance of these criminals.
He also perfected the laws of the Tang dynasty and ensured the channels for planting and harvesting new species, setting an example for the Tang dynasty and other countries. "
Li Yi puffed out his chest and raised his head, speaking righteously and solemnly.
Bi Goo swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and raised his hand to pinch the back of his neck. He had no choice, it was numb!
"And then?" Bi Goo asked after pinching it a dozen times.
"Then, we had to strengthen the customs inspection. In order to protect the interests of the barbarian merchants, we had to carry out a detailed inspection of their teams.
We had to increase the severity of punishment, strengthen the functions of the law enforcement team, and speed up the improvement of the laws to protect the rights of the barbarian merchants.
We had to pay close attention to the implementation, push forward layer by layer, assign responsibility to the person, supervise the details, and fill in the gaps.
Don't slack off, don't shirk responsibility, don't relax, don't compromise, don't … "
"Xiao Yi, take a break. This old man knows. That child Li Fukuan is suitable to be your disciple. This old man can't teach him.
Because your dental skills are good, this old man's teeth are perfect. It's difficult to enter the realm of no 'teeth'! "
Bi Goo began to rub his face with both hands. He didn't need to pinch his neck anymore. He even wanted to grab his heart to make sure that his conscience was still there.
Bi Goo regretted it. He shouldn't have made things difficult for the child. The child's choice was right.
He couldn't teach him. The difference was too big. In the future, if there were any talented children, he would have to send them to Xiao Yi's side to be taught.
"Old Bi, are we having fish for lunch?" Li Yi asked again.
"Sure, let's have fish. Let's stew the fish for a while and stew the garlic meat."
Bi Goo decided to use fish to replenish his energy. He had used too much of his brain power just now.
"The garlic meat is the protein of the fish. It's not fresh enough. That's fine.
I'll pour out the fish soup and filter it with gauze. At the end, there will be fish jelly.
When the fish is stewed, the soup will be saltier. The fish will be more flavorful. The fish jelly will also be delicious. "
Li Yi didn't expect Old Bi to know that the garlic meat would be produced when the fish was heated for a long time. From the looks of it, Old Bi had learned a lot from him!
"Okay, when the time comes, we'll leave the fish bones and bones. You can grind them and feed them to the livestock and poultry that need salt and calcium."
Bi Goo had indeed learned and understood this. Stewed fish had salt. Whether it was horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, or geese, they all loved to eat it.
"Old Bi, the new tax needs to be promoted. Aren't we delivering a child on the yacht? It's a festive occasion. "
Li Yi saw that Bi Goo was no longer entangled with the matter of having a disciple, so he talked about another matter.
He couldn't really laugh at the Chancellors for not having a disciple. As for the money, it had nothing to do with the disciple. He had to say it whether Li Fukuan had a disciple or not.
"Yes, the new baby is born. Everyone is very happy."
Bi Goo smiled. The baby was the softest existence in the hearts of ordinary people.
When it was raining outside, the mother and child came to the yacht. Of course, they were in a good mood.
"The baby's mother's granduncle is also here. He's actually a Secretary of the Treasury in our Wannian County. His name is Jia Zhangqiu. He was born in the third year of Xianheng …"
Li Yi followed the topic and introduced Jia Zhangqiu. As long as there were official records of all the officials in the government, he knew about them.
"No wonder you have to evaluate all the officials in the Tang dynasty every six months. You memorized them all?" Bi Goo didn't know this person.
"It doesn't matter whether I memorized them or not. It's fate that I can remember them at a glance." Li Yi smiled. He was a scanner.
"And then?" Bi Goo once again felt that Li Fukuan was right to take Xiao Yi as his master.
The master was only better than the disciple, not worse than the disciple.
What's the big deal about memorizing dozens or hundreds of books a year? The evaluation of all the officials in the Tang dynasty every six months. Why don't you give it a try?
"Then when I was preparing lunch, I put the child's car beside me. In order to see the child, he accidentally entered the restaurant."
Li Yi planned according to the script.
"Don't torture the child. I'll go and see."
Bi Goo wanted to see this person. The evaluation was really good, not just because of Li Yi's recommendation.
The reason why Li Yi didn't directly arrange a seat was to let others see if it was good enough.
If it wasn't good enough, he wouldn't force it. If it was wrong, he would have to deal with it himself.
Bi Goo strolled to the door and suddenly turned around, "Are you sure you can collect 10 million coins in taxes?"
"It's more, not less. When we talk in the future, 10 million coins is the basic unit. 10 million coins is about the same as one coin.
You go and take a look first. When you come back, I'll think about the linkage between ship leasing and tax. We have to hurry up. "
Li Yi bragged. 10 million coins was 10 billion coins. In terms of purchasing power, 10 billion coins was a huge sum of money.
"You can't judge a person by yourself? You're just lazy. If it's your new disciple, how calculative can he be? Why don't you push it to someone else? "
Bi Goo muttered and went out to find Jia Zhangqiu. He didn't care about the dignity of the Minister. If the person was good, he would arrange a job. If not, then forget it.
