"It must be that the patriotism education is not good enough." Li Yi looked at the numbers on the abacus and felt sad.
Kerosene lamps and thermos bottles were now produced by the customers.
All the money had been paid. It was not a deposit.
Soap, scented soap, glycerin, and toilet water were all gone.
Someone bought 10 sets of tea sets for drinking tea. Yes, Zhangsun Xin bought 30 sets. Was he going to open a teahouse?
Orders were suspended. No money was collected. Zhuangzi was responsible for production. He first handed over the previous goods to the customers.
The number shown on the abacus was 720,000 yuan, plus the income from slowly selling things in Zhuangzi.
The money earned in Zhuangzi this year was more than 10% of the rent of the Tang dynasty this year. The soldiers at the border were still suffering.
"If it was me, the country said that the war was short of money, the people would enthusiastically donate, fight, and beat them.
The rich donated more. If they did not donate, they would be beaten by the people during the war. What's the pressure of public opinion?
Of course, some people might run abroad. The country will have a way to deal with them. "
Li Yi muttered that the rich in the Tang dynasty were not patriotic.
"You don't know the history of the future. If you don't pay to support the army, then use the money to buy luxury goods."
Li Yi moved the abacus with his hand. He had a plan.
So much money and free iron.
"I have more money. Take out 400,000 yuan to prepare to repair the road from Luoyang to Chang 'an. The rest will be paid when the captives and pandas arrive.
As for the extra money, I will lend it out with low interest. I don't know if it will affect the interests of the high-interest loan industry.
I can't be hostile to them now. At least, I can't let them see that I am a threat. "
Li Yi sat there and calculated, preparing for the next step.
The interest of the Tang dynasty's loans was high, about 30%.
Some were even compounded. When the country's inflation was not so high, the interest of the loans was high, which obviously accelerated the acquisition of land.
The productivity did not increase, and the total amount of money did not increase. What increased was the interest.
What was used to supplement the entire financial operation?
Of course, it was the estimated value of the land and property. It also included the personal freedom of some people.
A house was worth 100 yuan. The owner of the house went to borrow money, and the house was worth 60 yuan.
When they couldn't afford 160 yuan, they would buy the house directly.
Then, the other 40 yuan would be used to compensate for the overflow of capital without the devaluation of the social currency.
At the time of equilibrium, land annexation was completed.
It didn't matter whether it was reasonable or not. If Li Yi wanted to get involved, then he would have to do the low-interest loan business.
He felt that if he dared to jump out, a group of people would fight him to the death.
"Come on, I'll show you what it means to silently moisten things and boil frogs in warm water. I don't know if the frog will jump out or not.
But I know that you will give in step by step while scolding me for being a wastrel.
I'll let you see how capital works. Don't say that I'm bullying you. Hahahahaha … "
Li Yi stood up and smiled happily.
He went out to look for Song De. Along the way, he asked and saw Song De outside the cotton textile workshop.
Song De held a pair of embroidered insoles in his hands and whispered to Hu Erniang while looking around.
There was someone beside him, but that person's head was not turned in his direction.
"Song De, aren't you two getting married yet? The price has increased. Two thousand taels. That's what you get when you get married. "
Li Yi came over and didn't look at the insoles. He smiled and asked.
"Dongzhu, I still have things to do." Hu Erniang ran away.
Song De put the insoles in his pocket. "Dongzhu, can it still increase? I can wait a little longer. "
"Did you hear that? He can wait for money."
Li Yi looked at Song De and said. Hu Erniang, who had just disappeared, poked her head out.
"I'm waiting for a good day. After the New Year, I'll propose marriage. Actually, I want to wait until the imperial examinations are over and everyone is celebrating."
Song De's forehead was sweating. The weather was hot. The lunar calendar was November 10th and the solar calendar was December 14th. Chang 'an's temperature was very high.
"Mass produce ice chiseling tools and build more ox carts and horse carriages. The oxen and horses will still be fodder.
Rent the ice chiseling tools to people with poor economic conditions. The rent is ten taels a day and the payment will be made once a month.
In addition, discuss with the clothing store to allow people with poor economic conditions to rent clothes and shoes … "
Li Yi explained the details of the rental.
Buy a set of clothes for a hundred taels. Buy in bulk and bargain with the Yi Meng.
For example, when the price was eighty taels, people who could not afford the clothes could contact the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The Li Family Zhuangzi would pay eighty taels and the buyer would have to pay back a hundred taels over five years.
The total interest would be twenty-five percent and the annual interest rate would be five percent.
In fact, the clothes bought alone would be a hundred taels.
This was Li Yi's way of lowering the interest rate. He did not give the money directly so that the lenders would not notice.
As for the other things, they could be done slowly.
The Li Family Zhuangzi would find people to do the repairs if the house was broken down or if the farmers were sick and could not work.
As long as Li Yi was willing, he could get involved in any industry. The repayment period he asked for was long and the interest rate was low.
Others would not have to borrow money from loan sharks. They could take it slowly and get involved in each industry.
When the other party reacted, it was too late.
Song De could not figure out the purpose behind this. He was only responsible for taking notes and nodding.
He only knew that when Dongzhu spoke, he would never lose money.
Even if he directly gave the goods to others, Zhuangzi would still make a profit in the end.
"Dongzhu, the greenhouses are making money. Twenty counties are cooperating with us. Do you want to expand the scale next year?"
Song De was giving the idea. This year, it was a cooperative model.
The commoners were making more money than before. But Zhuangzi was still the one who made the most money.
"We will talk about next year. Your suggestion to expand the scale is good. We can not only do business in the government, but we can also send people outside. When you get married, we will give you three thousand taels of gifts."
Li Yi encouraged Song De. He had his own ideas.
At the same time, he knew how much his subordinates looked forward to ideas. He could not dispel their enthusiasm.
Who knows, his subordinates might come up with a good idea that he did not even think of.
"I am just saying. Dongzhu, I will go back to work." Song De was overjoyed. He jumped up and down as he walked.
Li Yi smiled. He did not look at Hu Er, who was hiding there. He was happy and proud.
He hadn't used this method of praising his employees in front of his subordinates' friends and family for a long time.
Li Family Zhuangzi's workshop became busy. They were ready to provide convenience for the commoners.
"Newspaper seller, newspaper seller, Li Family Zhuangzi is providing more things. He has reached an agreement with Chengyi Alliance, Rongyi Alliance, and Zhengyi Alliance …"
The newspaper boy continued to advertise for Li Family Zhuangzi.
Everyone bought the newspaper and read the content.
They realized that they could buy new clothes and shoes at the same price a few years later. They felt that they could take advantage of the situation.
The rich were not happy. Li Family Zhuangzi only helped to buy cheap clothes. They did not buy silk clothes.
"Xiao Qi, here is a newspaper for you. Study hard. I can read most of the newspaper now."
A newspaper seller threw a newspaper to a child who came out early in the morning to clean shoes.
"I have finished learning pinyin. I can read it now. But I don't know what some words mean. I have to read it a few times."
The child who cleaned the shoes sat there and laughed.
He had to spell a sentence and read it. It was like speaking. He knew the meaning and thought about every word.
