"The price is going to increase. The prices of kerosene lamps and thermos bottles will increase by 20% tomorrow."
"Hurry up and buy it. If you buy it today, you can resell it tomorrow for 110 yuan. It's still a huge profit."
"I'll buy one for my brother in Fuping County. He can't make it today."
When Song De announced the price adjustment for tomorrow, many people who wanted to buy one set immediately requested to buy three sets.
The news spread quickly. Those who did not plan to buy it did not hesitate to buy it when they heard that the price had increased by 20%.
Some businessmen even bought ten sets at once. One set represented one kerosene lamp and one thermos bottle.
In the Imperial City, a banquet was held in the palace at noon. Everyone ate and drank before leaving.
Those who left today were on annual leave. Those who wanted to visit relatives went to visit relatives and those who wanted to build connections.
There were only two months left until the Imperial Examinations. This was the last chance. Those who did not have a place quickly went to attend.
Those like Li Bai, whose household registration was not in the country, had to attend the Imperial Examinations.
Those who wanted to get promoted through another channel would take advantage of the Imperial Examinations to select talents.
"Go and take a look at those who are willing to join the Li Family Zhuangzi. They can write a children's song with snow as the theme."
Li Yi decided to give those who did not have the right household registration and other aspects a chance.
Write a children's song to test their talents. If they felt that they were good enough, they would be exempted from the Imperial Examinations.
Take other people's paths. Those people were troublesome and might not be useful.
Even if you found the connections of the Ministry of Revenue, are you sure that he would arrange an official position for you? He could only recommend people to the higher ranks.
It was good that he was here. He could think of a way.
Li Yi felt that he should be selected for the Imperial Examinations. There might be some talented people who could not take the Imperial Examinations directly.
He had a deep impression of Zhang Yuan during the Song Dynasty. His name was not originally Zhang Yuan. He later changed his name to get closer to Li Yuanhao.
There was another person who said that his surname was Hu and changed his name to Wu Hao.
Wasn't that Yuan Hao?
Zhang Yuan took the Imperial Examinations, but he was removed from the Imperial Examinations.
He was unhappy and did not have any thoughts of loyalty to the Emperor. He went to join Li Yuanhao.
After that, he contributed to the Battle of Hao Shui Chuan and defeated Han Qi. After the Battle of Song, he lost many soldiers and generals.
Zhang Yuan used his own achievements to give Zhao Zhen and the other officials a tight slap in the face.
Li Yi felt that there were such people in both the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, especially those from the Tang Dynasty who went to Tubo to give advice to others.
He wanted to choose the good ones. As for those who were not capable, they could go wherever they wanted.
Of course, he didn't care about literary talent, unless the other party was willing to specialize in literary work. That was the arrangement.
Song De was selling kerosene lamps and thermos bottles while Deputy Manager Xun Xin was in charge of spreading the news.
It was said that the Li Family Zhuangzi on the east bank of Ba River was willing to recommend outstanding talents. Dongzhu was the Guanglu Daifu and the Accompanying Army Deputy Captain.
At the same time, he attached the questions given by Li Yi and asked them to answer according to the questions.
"Li Dongzhu from the Li Family Zhuangzi wants to recommend someone. Will you go?"
On the road next to Heavenly World, several students had just received the news.
"No. He only has money, hot air balloons and gunpowder. He doesn't have any real power."
"For example, we can look for Prime Minister Lu. Prime Minister Lu has a lot of people in Chang 'an. We can use their connections to see if Prime Minister Lu likes us."
"Yes, it's better to look for someone with real power."
The group of students walked away while talking. Yao Chong and the others who were about to go in for dinner looked at Lu Huaishen.
Lu Huaishen was looking at the students. He had seen their faces just now, but now he had to remember their figures.
"Hurry up and go upstairs. Li Yi has raised the price." Bi Goo urged. He was the one who invited them.
They had dinner at Heavenly World and talked about the price increase of kerosene lamps and thermos bottles.
When they arrived at the private room, Zhang Yuan looked outside and shook his head. "Li Yi finally showed his kindness. I wonder how many people will be indebted to him."
"There should be someone who will guide the people who think highly of him to submit an invitation to Li Family Zhuangzi." Wei Zhigu said.
He was referring to those people who knew about Li Yi's situation. If someone sent an invitation to them, they would need to use their connections.
Since Li Yi wanted them, they should give it a try.
As long as Li Yi said yes, there would be no problems. They would be able to meet the Emperor. They would not be afraid in front of the Emperor. They would become officials!
Regardless of which channel it went through, it would eventually reach His Majesty.
The person who could influence the Emperor the most was Li Yi.
"He sold a lot of kerosene lamps and thermos bottles today. How can we check the accounts?"
Bi Goo did not want to talk about other people's business. He knew that money was coming.
He had heard that some people would buy 10 bottles at once. One bottle would cost 80 Liang, and 10 bottles would cost 800 Liang.
Li Family Zhuangzi should be able to sell a few thousand bottles today, right? If they were lucky, the Ministry of Revenue would have an extra 200,000 to 300,000 Liang.
The problem now was the exact number. What if Li Yi did not admit that he had sold so many bottles?
What if she found that he had falsified the accounts?
"Wait. When it's time to go to work, Li Yi should hand in the accounts." Yao Chong was calm.
He was just surprised by Li Yi's selling methods. When he said that the price would be increased tomorrow, the number of bottles sold today increased sharply.
Those who were in a situation where they could buy or not bought, bought.
"I'm afraid that those who did not buy today will scold Li Yi. Some of them are not in Chang 'an and are in other counties. They will not be able to come here in time."
When Bi Goo was thinking about earning tax money, he thought that Li Yi was too anxious.
He thought that Li Yi sold so many bottles for him and gave the Ministry of Revenue a good start.
However, his methods were not good enough and forced others to spend money on the day.
"The assassination of the Tubo people did not succeed. I think that Li Yi will not let that happen. He will definitely make up for it."
Zhang Shuo did not care if Li Yi was scolded or not. He was wondering if Li Yi still wanted more horses. The Tubo people might not give them to him.
Lu Huaishen took a sip of warm water and said: "The Tubo people sent people to compete. The leader's leg was broken by his own people. Li Yi did not agree to it. There should be a result after the New Year."
"There are many things surrounding Li Yi every day. The Khitan envoys exchanged documents. What will Li Yi do with this?"
Yao Chong pulled on the string of the bell, indicating that the 'waiter' could serve the dishes.
He was guessing what Li Yi would do next. He had never seen such an erratic way of doing things.
Especially when it came to external strategies. He was not used to it.
"Let's see how the Turks react. Will the Turks attack the Khitans? The Turks have an endless civil war."
Zhang Shuo thought that it was a ploy to sow discord.
Otherwise, if economic and cultural exchanges could not be used, how could they really communicate?
The road was so long. What could the other party sell and what did they need?
"The vegetables are here. There are a lot of vegetables in the greenhouses this year. The vegetables sold today will have to be taxed."
Bi Goo had already sent people to check on the daily quantity of vegetables in the greenhouses.
Today, there were people guarding the two markets. At the same time, he sent people to guard the greenhouses.
In the future, the greenhouses would have to record the daily shipments.
When the market prices were out, they would collect one-tenth of the taxes based on the recorded quantities of each type of vegetable.
Before the New Year, he hoped that people would buy less vegetables.
After the New Year, he hoped that the vegetables in the greenhouses would grow better and better so that more people would buy them.
The Tubo people who were mentioned went to attend the court meeting. They were all listless.
They returned to the Honglu Temple and sat there worrying.
Things had happened. When the festive atmosphere of the New Year gradually disappeared, they did not know what Li Yi would do.
