The industry's consumption was high, and quality was high. The 100th anniversary of a child was approaching. Those who did not become doctors would become immortals.
Li Longji got off work early today and finished his work.
He went to see a concubine at around 2: 30 p.m. and came out at 3: 30 p.m. with a rosy complexion.
It was Li Yi who mentioned this to him, asking him to find time to do it once.
It was a matter of living habits. He had many women, and he had to stay with a pregnant woman for many days.
If he was like Li Yi, he only had one wife. He did not need to go outside to find a wife. Positive energy!
Li Longji, who was both physically and mentally happy, sat in the carriage on his way to the manor. Along the way, he read the book from the Henan Magistrate, Bi Gou, which he had already read once.
Bi Goo said that the number of chickens and ducks in Henan had doubled. At the end of the month, it would increase by more than 30%.
The people would hatch the eggs manually. After harvesting the rice, they would harvest the rice and throw the chickens and ducks into the field.
After the eggs were laid, they would look at them. If they could see the chickens and ducks, they would hatch them immediately.
Their own family did not have many eggs. A few families worked together to hatch the eggs every day. After 20 days, the chickens were hatched. After a month, the ducks were hatched.
The next day, new chickens and ducks were hatched.
At night, they would light a fire and catch locusts. They would put them in a pot and blanch them with hot water. The next day, they would dry them.
After they were dried, they would be stored and used in the winter for poultry and pigs.
Bi Goo also said that he heard from the merchants that other places were hatching chickens. The price of pigs was high.
The people found a reason to comfort themselves. They did not care about anything else. The most important thing was to catch locusts and make money.
Li Longji looked at the words. An image appeared in his mind.
Many people were busy catching locusts. The chickens and ducks were also working hard. The big chickens and ducks were eaten by themselves. When they had children, they would catch locusts and feed them to the small ones.
Pigs grew bigger and bigger every day, squealing loudly.
Li Longji came to Zhuangzi.
Empress Wang looked at him and leaned forward to smell him. "San Lang, hurry up and take a bath. Uncle has some good rouge and face powder here. Bring it with you when you leave tomorrow. What's this smell? It's too strong."
Li Longji chuckled and went to take a bath. Then, he asked Li Yi for something.
He admitted that his Empress's nose was very sharp, and her evaluation of cosmetics was also on point.
Li Yi had been dealing with cosmetics recently. He didn't want to sell them. He wanted to bribe them.
He bought the best rouge and face powder in Chang 'an. He directly analyzed the ingredients and then listed them in a table. Then, he mixed the relevant ingredients separately and looked at the ratio.
Usually, it was the essential oil distilled from flowers. People nowadays knew how to use it.
Then, it was mixed with other natural spices, such as sandalwood, vanilla, and so on. Some expensive spices even contained mercury and lead.
The cinnabar in the ore was also used as a dye, and the pearl powder added luster. After mixing it with sesame oil and animal fat, it became a variety of cosmetics.
Li Yi only needed to know the ingredients. He didn't need to know other people's craftsmanship. He had his own.
After the products were made, Empress Wang, the palace maids, and the eunuchs would evaluate them.
Empress Wang was more restrained because she was pregnant. The palace maids and eunuchs smelled all kinds of things and found that there was no smell.
During dinner, Li Longji didn't ask any questions. Li Chengqi talked about the three Yi Leagues.
Compared to the previous data, the shops in the Yi Leagues had an obvious increase in income.
"Brother Yi, there were people buying clothes in the past. Now, there are still people buying clothes. Is it because of summer?"
Li Chengqi wanted to learn. After knowing how much money they made, he still couldn't understand.
"There are people buying clothes made of canvas, so there are more clothes," Li Yi said.
"It's not considered canvas. People can make canvas slowly when they have time." Li Chengqi shook his head.
"It's because of the influence of publicity. The consumption is ahead of schedule. In addition, the living standards of the people have improved this year. When the weather is hot, they still need to buy new clothes.
They have been collecting tea leaves. People who should be making clothes at home go to pick tea leaves. They only need to take out a small portion of the money they earn to buy a new set of clothes. "
Li Yi analyzed it, just like how he analyzed the various shopping festivals back then.
Li Chengqi listened and thought that it made sense.
"After a while, the clothes shops can sell fewer clothes?" He asked helplessly. He thought that he could make more money in the long run.
"There's not much money to be made from ordinary people. They can't afford to wear clothes made of expensive cloth.
If the price is high, they'd rather make their own clothes that don't look good.
The low-end market requires quality and price. People will only buy if they can wear it and live in it and it's cheap.
The mid-end market requires materials and price. If they feel that a cloth is expensive and the price is right, they will buy it.
The high-end market is novel. They don't care about the cloth and price is not a problem.
As long as they see that others don't have it and they wear it beautifully and stand out from the crowd, they will spend money like water. "
Li Yi explained the market positioning. Different buyers had to provide targeted services.
"The only thing that's different is the waistcoat you took out? And the three-quarter pants? "Li Chengqi mentioned two things.
He said to Li Yi, "The canvas three-quarter pants are selling well. They're not bought in bulk. Many rich people buy them for their children to wear."
"Yes, when children wear it, they won't easily trip on their own trouser legs. At the same time, because it's made of canvas, it's sturdy.
It's just that canvas is expensive. Otherwise, ordinary people will buy it for their children to wear. "
Li Yi knew what the rich people thought. The canvas pants were sturdy and the children wouldn't bump into it.
"Brother Yi, if you have any good ideas about new clothes, the Yi Alliance will buy it according to the Workers' Alliance's method." Li Chengqi thought of another idea.
"Okay, I'll draw two later. Big Brother, you can sell them to rich people. I'll ask for a high price. One hundred taels." Li Yi agreed.
He was going to copy the various Han clothing from his time. Those people were very smart. They fused many elements and made many types of clothing.
But at a glance, one could tell that it was Han clothing. One thing had never changed.
"Uncle, draw a few for me to wear." Empress Wang was tempted when she heard that.
There were restrictions on what she could wear in the palace. She couldn't wear it casually.
She didn't care when she was outside. Or when she was in her own palace, she would close the door and not let anyone in.
Li Yi nodded in agreement.
After everyone finished eating and went to find things to do, Wang Xing came over.
He pulled Li Yi aside like a thief and whispered, "Brother Yi, there are three more days."
"What three days?" Li Yi was puzzled.
"Children, children. Three days later, it'll be a year. It's the hundredth day of the funeral. Their family will go to the grave. I …"
Wang Xing stopped. He meant that he had to send the children back. Otherwise, he would keep thinking about them.
Li Yi blinked to show that he understood. He asked softly, "Do you need me to go with you? I can explain to you what illness the children have and how to treat them. "
"Do you know how to curse?" Wang Xing asked.
Li Yi shook his head. He knew this, but he didn't learn it.
"Brother Yi, you can't just say that they're sick. You have to add some things. Do you understand?" Wang Xing reminded him tactfully.
Li Yi smiled. "I understand. I'm actually quite good at this. I'll prepare some things and practice them. I guarantee that I'll reach perfection.
My hands with the scalpel are not as good as magic tricks. Oh, magic tricks. No, illusions. I can do it. "
Li Yi promised that he knew how to fool people.
He had ideas and tools.
