Zhangsun Xin started to buy a house. He wanted to buy a house facing the street.
Luo Oucheng gave him an idea. He wanted to build a teahouse for people to drink Kung Fu tea before others understood.
Lantian County was the main county that led to Chang 'an by land. From Luoyang to Chang' an, people would come to drink tea in Lantian County.
Business in the shops facing the street was not good in winter, so the price was low.
Zhangsun Xin thought it made sense. If he followed the Li Family Zhuangzi, he wouldn't make a lot of money, but he wouldn't lose money.
He looked for a broker to look at the house and bought a set of tea sets and tea leaves.
The Li Family Zhuangzi continued to ship out large quantities of kerosene lamps, thermos bottles, tea sets, tea leaves, soap, glycerin, and toilet water.
Perfume was not sold. It had been stored.
Alcohol was sold, but lighters were not.
Every day, the Li Family Zhuangzi was busy at Baqiao. People even sent pinecones.
Gold, copper coins, silk, and coupons all flowed into the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The coupons would be used to buy things again. The gold, copper coins, and silk would only go in and not out.
"Do you know how much money the Li Family Zhuangzi has made in the past few days?"
On November 10th, Bi Goo invited Yao Chong and others to dinner at his home. At Huaizhen Lane.
He was going crazy. He even wanted to resign. Whoever wanted to be the Minister of Revenue could be the one to do it.
He had promised to pay taxes, but he counted the days. So much money had nothing to do with taxes.
How much did the Tang dynasty earn in a year? The Li Family Zhuangzi was crazily making profits in Chang 'an.
The Minister of Revenue was a "fierce official" at this time. It was inauspicious. Didn't he always study the five elements? That was why he was placed in this position.
He felt that he was going to die.
"Didn't I give you three sets of tea sets and tell you that there will be better thermos bottles in the future? Just wait! "
Zhang Shuo ate cucumber skin with sesame sauce. There was no chili oil. There was garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt. It was refreshing.
Lu Huaishen used his chopsticks to point at the celery in the celery stir-fried pork: "After the New Year, not all of the taxes collected will belong to the Li Family Zhuangzi."
Bi Goo did not ask for food from Li Yi. He sold pencils to make money.
Send someone to the market to buy the best ones.
Aside from Weinan County, which had lost 70% of its greenhouse production due to the heavy rain in winter, the other counties were selling well.
The vegetables in the greenhouse could be sold until March.
One batch of crops was better than another batch. When the cucumbers were about to die, the specially bred seedlings would grow taller, and then the seedlings would be split.
Soon, there would be another time for cucumbers to be harvested, and the other vegetables would be planted in between.
The bigger counties had 50 mu of greenhouses, while the smaller counties had 20 mu of greenhouses.
The students of the Li Family Zhuangzi were in charge. They hired the commoners to farm the land, and they also paid the rent for the land.
In addition, many wealthy families had also set up one or two mu of greenhouses to try planting. The lighting was not good and the growth was slow, but it could still grow.
It was the time for the vegetables in the greenhouses to be sold. Compared to previous years … …
There was no comparison. Last year, the Li Family Zhuangzi only provided a portion of the vegetables to the Celestial World, and the rest were for themselves.
The greenhouses in the palace were not for sale. King Song sold some to the Celestial World, and the rest were bought privately.
Ordinary businessmen had money, but they had nowhere to buy.
The greenhouses in the 20 counties added up to more than 600 mu. It was not enough to supply the entire capital, and the price of the vegetables was still high.
Today's celery stir-fried pork was actually meat stir-fried celery.
There was more meat and less celery. It was just a small handful, and it cost a hundred coins. The leaves were left to be made into salted vegetables.
"It would have been better if it was earlier." Bi Goo mumbled. His family had sent someone to buy the vegetables, and he knew the price.
For today's meal, the rice was not even charged. The wine was provided by Li Longji, the meat was only 500 coins, and the vegetables were 50 coins.
The cucumbers with thorns on the top were priced at one to one hundred coins. One cucumber was more than three taels, so it was 360 coins.
Even so, they still had to buy them early. If they were late, the people in the city would buy them all, especially the restaurants.
Wei Zhigu took a sip of wine: "Long Ze, I know that you want to collect the debt this year, but there will be more money next year."
Wei Zhigu advised Bi Goo. He had been the Minister of Revenue before, and he knew how troublesome it was.
When there was a disaster in a county, the local government would write a petition to reduce the rent.
When His Majesty went to war, he would ask the Ministry of Revenue for money. The Ministry of Revenue needed to tear down the east wall to pay the west wall. Then, when the money came, they would quickly pay it back.
Every month, the officials would receive their salaries, and they would have to think about where to get the money.
The key was that there was no way to get the money. They could only carefully examine the areas that needed money to see if they did not need that much money.
If they could collect the taxes before the end of the year, it would be easier to arrange for next year's budget.
Wei Zhigu was actually envious of Bi Goo. When he was the Minister of Revenue, no one gave him so many benefits.
When Bi Goo came to be the Minister, Li Yi actually gave Bi Goo a big gift.
Thinking of the big gift, Wei Zhigu said to Bi Goo: "Li Yi has helped you a lot."
"But I can't give him a tax reduction." Bi Goo picked up his wine cup.
"The amount of tax he pays depends on how much he wants to pay. If he doesn't pay, you can't do anything to him.
What's more, the money is in his hands. He always wants to take it out to build roads and raise soldiers for the Tang dynasty. I feel that he is more useful than your Ministry of Revenue. "
Zhang Shuo laughed as he talked about Bi Goo, not giving him any face at all.
"He promised." Bi Goo was about to cry. An old man frowned.
He also didn't know how the economic account of the tax was calculated. He had just started.
Anyway, Li Yi said that he would pay. He was very proactive.
Yao Chong was a little jealous: "Long Ze, you can contact Li Yi now. He is better than us. Communicate with him more and learn more about the economy. He knows a lot.
Although I don't like him, I can't help but admire his knowledge.
It's only because King Song saw him first and he was near Chang 'an. Otherwise, he would be in another place.
I believe that all the local government officials have been bribed by him.
Those who stubbornly refuse to cooperate with him will probably be dealt with by him. "
As Yao Chong spoke, he revealed a look of fear.
If Li Yi wasn't near Chang 'an and went to Yuezhou, how much trouble would he cause there?
Bi Goo nodded: "It'll be good if he publishes a book. We can learn from the book. Right now, we can't contact him."
"What if he publishes a book?" Yao Chong shook his head: "What if someone else learns it? I'd rather ask him slowly than leak the secret. "
Yao Chong rose to a higher level. He regarded Li Yi's talent as the secret of the Tang dynasty.
The others nodded in agreement. Indeed, whoever could capture Li Yi and make Li Yi talk about what he had learned was very powerful.
Fortunately, the Li Family Zhuangzi was surrounded by a group of Qianniu Guards. Besides the guards, there were also Winged Knights in the Zhuangzi.
Even when Li Yi went out, he was also protected by a large group of people.
As long as it wasn't a sneak attack, he had his own weapon. It was said that his weapon could easily kill people from five hundred feet away.
Five hundred feet, if the enemy general ran to a place where the ballista couldn't hit, and met Li Yi, it was estimated that …
"Li Yi made so much money, I don't know where he will spend it." Bi Goo was indeed sick. He always wanted more money to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
Li Yi, who he was thinking about, was now worrying in Zhuangzi. He had too much money.
"There are so many rich people in Chang 'an. When there's a war, I don't see them donating money. When it comes to selling thermos bottles, they go crazy. The production can't keep up with the sales."
Li Yi was very unfamiliar with calculating the income on the abacus. At the same time, he despised the rich people in Chang 'an.
When there was a war with Tubo and Tujue, each family should donate a little and be pacified.
