"Xiao Yi, there are two more days before the competition. Are you nervous?"
Early in the morning, Lu Huaishen came over during breakfast. He only ate millet porridge today and did not eat other staple foods. He only ate some pickled vegetables.
"I'm nervous. There are still empty advertising spots that have not been sold." Li Yi nodded.
"Are you nervous because you can't make money?" Bi Goo was surprised.
"Yes! Why not make money that should be made? There are advertisements in the newspaper today. Let the rich businessmen advertise there. "
Li Yi was also eating bland food. Last night, he went to the laboratory to study urine.
Why could urine block mosquito bites to a certain extent and treat mosquito venom at the same time?
After autumn, the mosquitoes went crazy in the mountains and used the last time to suck blood.
Today's newspaper wrote that it was best for everyone to apply urine when they were bitten by mosquitoes. The effect would be the most obvious.
He was disgusted by the research and gave an uncertain answer.
Mosquito venom was acidic while urine was alkaline. In the short time after the mosquito bites, the alkaline in urine could destroy the structure of the mosquito venom.
After applying urine, it would depend on the situation. Some urine would be effective and some would not itch very much. After a while, it would itch again.
After that, the itch would be due to the body's histamine reaction before the venom was removed.
Histamine reaction would not work with toilet water or alcohol. Antihistamine would work. Antihistamine was a medicine with antihistamine effects.
There were also a few types of Chinese medicine that were effective against different types of histamine.
There were medicines in medical books that could be taken orally or applied externally. However, ordinary people did not use them and thought it was normal to be bitten by mosquitoes.
He planned to make it into a cream. The byproducts of oil refining were paraffin wax and vaseline. Some low-grade ones were treated as simple lubricants.
He refined them and used them in medical and cosmetic products. Combined with other things, it became the clam oil that he used when he was young.
The cost of the skin care oil now was high. In the future, he would reduce the cost and use it for the people in the north.
Further north was the export area. Although it could not generate foreign exchange, it could take back the exchange coupons that were accepted by the foreigners.
The antihistamine medicine was placed together with the vaseline so that it was convenient to carry and apply.
After studying urine for such a long time, Li Yi was in a bad state. He ate bland food, especially century eggs.
The smell of century eggs was similar to the smell of dry toilets in the summer. Dry toilets in the summer did not require breathing through the nose, but through the mouth.
Crunch, crunch. Princess Yongmu ate a piece of lotus root without caring about her image. "The advertising slots will be sold out by today."
"Why?" Bi Goo was suddenly curious. How was it sold? Teach me.
"Li Lang wrote in the newspaper that other materials for building the railway will be purchased from the merchants who advertised it."
Princess Yongmu smiled and pointed at a stack of newspapers placed next to her. It was a thick book printed on one side.
Most of them were advertisements. Yu Huaide and other tycoons from Chang 'an needed to sell things.
Li Yi gave them preferential prices, all kinds of group purchases, discounts, buy one get three free, monthly packages …
The items they sold were guaranteed to be returned within a certain period of time, only replaced without repair, warranty, return of goods, shipping costs, and so on.
The big merchants of Henan Prefecture realized that the sales of their goods had been affected too much in the past few days, so they had no choice but to follow suit and advertise.
The commoners had a strong desire to buy, and they bought enough to paste windows and walls in their homes.
They could also practice calligraphy by flipping them over, and if that didn't work, they could also rub them together to use the toilet.
"The Ministry of Revenue seems to be able to try selling wheaten food?" Bi Goo asked Li Yi.
Li Yi felt the temperature of the eight treasures porridge, picked it up and gulped it down. He rubbed his stomach and asked, "Have you recorded all the accounts?"
"Of course! A portion of the autumn grain rent will be paid to the officials, and the rest will be given in the form of exchange vouchers.
Some of the extra autumn grain will be placed in Chang Ping's warehouse, and some will be purchased by the Ministry of Revenue's wheaten food department at the price of bulk goods.
It will be a little lower than the market price, less than 5%. The accounts will be clear if they are operated separately. "
Bi Goo raised his chin slightly. I understand. It's impossible to make a direct turnover from the inside.
"A price difference of nearly 5%? Then we can just sell it directly based on the market price and reduce it by 5%? "
Li Yi didn't fall for it. What did he mean by less than 5%?
The grain itself was a bulk trade. With a 5% difference in cost, would others still sell it at retail? It would impact the market.
"We won't sell the grain. We will make it into finished products and sell it." Bi Goo promised.
"Will you transfer it to the warehouse after buying it? Or will you put it in the original warehouse where the imperial court rents it?
Or even buy it in bulk and settle it in installments? Are you trying to get something without risking anything?
Using the manpower of other departments in the imperial court to save manpower for your own department? "
Li Yi had a problem. Could you just separate the accounts? Burning newspapers in the grave? Who are you trying to fool?
Bi Goo: "…"
"Wait for me to ask. Oh my god!" Bi Goo reacted.
Simply put, I will buy 10,000 stones of rice. If the quantity is large, you will give me a discount for bulk goods.
The rice will be placed in your warehouse, and I will transport it bit by bit. I will give you a batch of money as I transport it.
I will buy new rice. If I sell 5,000 stones of rice this year, the rice you will give me next year should be the same.
Bi Goo was sweating profusely. He didn't even eat and went to find someone to ask.
"Li Lang, it doesn't sound right?" Princess Yongmu tilted her head and looked at Li Yi.
"You are clearly trying to buy new socialist rice." Li Yi nodded, then immediately changed his words, "You are trying to cheat the imperial court of the Tang dynasty of grain."
"How?" Princess Yongmu couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Little Miss, there are costs to storing grain in the warehouse, labor costs, and losses." Xiaolan reminded.
"Yes!" Princess Yongmu suddenly understood.
By the time she finished eating, Bi Goo had returned with a calm expression. He was too calm.
Li Yi sighed, "How did you deal with it?"
"What kind of sick hands do you still need to train? I will help you with 33 people. "Bi Goo said.
"Wealth moves people's hearts! The system must be perfected. "
Li Yi understood. 33 people deserved to die.
Some of them followed him to Luoyang, and some of them were still in Chang 'an. He made a call to arrest people and search their houses.
Bi Goo took two deep breaths, "Xiao Yi, why didn't you …"
"Why? The tax system I gave you has no loopholes. I only mentioned selling noodles, but did you ask me to manage the other operations? "
"I was asking why you didn't impart such important knowledge to me earlier. I have failed in my duty! I am too ashamed to face … "
"Old Bi, you want to join the group?"
"No, I can still persevere for two more years. I can persevere. Xiao Yi, are you full? I will make tea for you. "
Bi Goo suddenly came to a realization. He shook his head and said that he was going to look for tea leaves.
"Don't, I don't dare let you make tea for me." Li Yi hurriedly stopped him.
"The people from Chang 'an will be here soon. Train as hard as you can." Bi Goo gritted his teeth.
"I have to live, and then I will line up the squatters. I don't want to ask a 'volunteer' to die on the operating table. "
Li Yi also shook his head and refused.
There were many ways to kill people. Deliberately killing someone on the operating table? He couldn't. His heart couldn't bear it. He had never done it before. He had never even thought about it. It was true.
"You used the word 'volunteer' well!" Bi Goo gave him a thumbs up.
"Yes!" Li Yi grinned.
