"We should send Winged Knights to guard it." Song Jing agreed.
"Oh! Winged Knights will listen to your arrangement. "Li Yi retorted. We were talking about serious matters just now, and now I'm picking on you.
Song Jing: "… …"
He was about to cry. Do you have to do this? I said something wrong, and you're trying to push me to my death?
"Xiao Yi, is there an increase in profit in the new industrial zone?" Bi Goo helped to resolve the situation.
"Is it an increase in revenue?" Li Yi went straight to the heart of the problem.
"It's a newly developed land with a large investment. Do you pay taxes?" Bi Goo asked tentatively.
He understood from reading books that taxes could not be collected at any time.
It was not easy for others to raise money to start a business, and the beginning was the most difficult period. Once taxes were collected, the other party might die.
"Here, I want to build a match factory. It will occupy a transportation hub and is suitable to produce products for people's livelihood.
The technical requirements are high, and the construction cost is low. It can also stimulate the surrounding industries.
Even if you are old and weak, you can still be engaged in this industry. This includes the lame, the crippled, the mute, and the blind. "
Li Yi had finished preparing the technical knowledge, and Zhuangzi had already worked out the production process of various materials for matches.
Now, he was going to build a match factory in Henan Province, and it was a relatively safe match.
It still had a negative impact on people's health, and it could be offset by other auxiliary means.
The matches he wanted to make could not be lit by just finding a place to strike. He had to use a special friction material.
For example, the frosted glass blackboard in school could be used to strike matches.
It required dexterity, speed, and contact surface. Once struck, there would be a fire.
Li Yi knew that the production of matches had a negative impact on people's health. He did not pursue absolute profits, and the most important thing was to make it convenient for the people.
Profits were money, and the people's health was their lifespan. He also needed to exchange for a set of medical equipment. Was this something that could be solved with the money of the Tang dynasty?
"Didn't you exchange your lifespan for that thing?" Song Jing took out a small package from his arms.
He wrapped it with red silk and opened it layer by layer to reveal the matchbox inside. Then, he pushed out the matches inside.
The matches were oval-shaped and looked very neat. There were a total of four rows, facing each other.
There were forty matches in the box, but he didn't use a single one.
"Test subjects, the best batch. You didn't use them?" Li Yi was surprised.
"We didn't use it. We thought you exchanged your life for it." Su Yi also took out a bag and opened it.
"You didn't get any extra? You'll get one box every ten days. It's enough for a normal household. "
Li Yi didn't know that he had Zhuangzi's data. He thought it was a small matter.
"Everyone is thinking of using your life to exchange for it. Who would dare to use it? You can actually build a factory to mass produce it. "
Yao Chong took out a sandalwood box and slammed it on the table.
"F * ck! Thank you! " Li Yi stood up, clasped his hands and bowed. This was a kind of recognition from a famous person in history.
"Gang Rou, can I draw one?" Zhang Jiuling had been thinking about this for a long time.
"Don't. There's smoke. It's choking. If the babies smell it and cry, it'll be hard to coax them. "
Li Yi waved his hand. The windows were all closed. It was cold in the morning. Lighting a match was not a big deal.
"How does a blind man work?" Su Yi followed and asked. He had helped a blind man before.
At that time, when the Chancellors were out, they met a blind old man. The whole team stopped and he went over personally.
Now, there was a blind road in Chang 'an. When it snowed in winter, the blind road was cleaned so that people with vision problems could feel the bumps on the ground.
"Paste a matchbox, a skilled worker. Don't think that a blind man can't do anything.
Have you seen a blind man go to the river to collect duck and goose eggs? He's more accurate than a normal person.
We'll provide the paste, the kind that can be eaten when hungry. They'll be responsible for this kind of box.
After the friction part, we'll add two sides. Paste a box. The blind man's speed is not slow.
You should have seen knitting before, right? The method I copied is the weaving technique. We can chat and knit at the same time. "
Li Yi explained the difficulty of the work. It was very simple.
When he was young, his family raised ducks, geese, and chickens.
During the day, before they were released, they would touch the eggs first. After touching, they would know if they could lay eggs that day.
After the poultry came back, the chickens were in one area. If they found that there were fewer eggs, they had to go find them.
The ducks and geese were in another area. They also had to find eggs.
The ducks and geese chose to lay eggs in hidden and obvious places.
They were so hidden that he might not be able to find them even if he kept his eyes open. There were blind neighbors. They knew where the eggs were.
After that, they would pick up a pile of eggs and put them at the door of the yard. They would take their own out first and the neighbors would come to collect them.
They knew how many eggs each family had. They would take what they should take and not take what they shouldn't.
Everyone watched and knew the situation of each family.
It was fine if you took advantage of them once, but if you did it repeatedly, no one would contact your family in the future.
At that time, there was no Internet. The neighbors didn't talk to your family and directly judged that your family was dead.
If you bought and sold things at the market next door, people would give you a hard time. If you bought meat, people would give you bad cuts.
If you sold things, people wouldn't even look at them. If they didn't buy, they could give it to others for free. However, people from the same village would turn around and leave.
If your child wanted to find a partner to play with, no child dared to play with him. Otherwise, they would be beaten when they went home.
If there was such a blind man in a village, the village would be very harmonious.
As for later …
Li Yi's mind wandered as he thought about it. Some things were hard to get back once they were lost.
The train came into the station again to resupply with coal and water.
The dispatcher called other places, especially the passenger car behind, to ask about the speed and time of passing through the area.
"Telegram and telephone, double insurance. If the snow is thick in winter, can it still be pushed?" Song Jing played the villain again.
"It'll be fine when the dual tracks are in operation. It's now a single track. There are additional sections where the train stops and switches.
There's also a type of car that relies on the rails to push back and forth. The speed isn't slow either.
When we reach Luoyang, I'll show it to everyone. When operating the car, there needs to be a wireless and wired telephone connection. "
Li Yi didn't have any problems with whether the train could push the snow away. In his time, the early steam engine trains didn't say that they couldn't run because of snow.
Unless the snow was too heavy, it had nothing to do with the situation during the operation.
After the train was resupplied, dozens of people came up. They were all local businessmen.
They read the newspapers and knew the situation. They waited here.
When Her Majesty went out, few people were willing to follow her. If Li Yi went with her, it was guaranteed that there would be business opportunities.
They trusted Li Yi. Li Yi's business in the Tang dynasty was not a lie.
Li Family Zhuangzi's products had never had any quality problems. The after-sales service was also very good.
For example, if the kerosene lamps, mirrors, bicycles, thermos bottles, and glass were broken, they could go to Li Family Zhuangzi to replace them at any time.
The Li Family's manor promised that if you were unhappy and smashed it, there would still be some broken items. If you brought them back, they would definitely replace them for you.
Some of the new passengers were students. They were supposed to go to Chang 'an for the exam, but they read the newspapers that they had changed places.
So what if they changed places? At their current location, they could get on the train and take out the recommendation letter from the local government. They didn't need to spend any money.
When they came to the courier station, they didn't need to spend any money. Seeing that they were students, the courier station would give them extra care.
