"Brother Yi, if that's the case, you should be able to tell that all the shells and meat have been separated."
Li Chengqi glanced at the clams on the plate. Some of them had been separated.
"How can you tell if they're fried together with the living ones? Canned clams and razor clams soaked in oil are made from the sea further south. "
Li Yi changed the topic after a few words. Canned bamboo was a good choice for seafood. Let the local government catch more and make more.
Especially in Jiangnan, which was the generation in Fujian, the people were more willing to listen to the imperial court if they could make more money.
The local land was called Eight Mountains, One Water, and One Field, just like Guizhou.
That one Field was now used to plant rice in Zancheng.
As long as there was a way to survive, the people would support the imperial court.
They did not ask for political benefits, only for survival.
"The breeding is already done there. Pay them and send someone over to do it quickly."
Li Chengqi had never been to the seaside, so he did not know what it was like.
He only knew that things were expensive in the coastal area, and people in Dengzhou had to pay more.
If it were a businessman, he would definitely make the local people suffer a big loss.
He would rather cooperate with other businessmen than let the people by the seaside raise the price.
Li Chengqi did not want to do that. His profits were high, and it was good for the Tang dynasty if the people could make some money.
"Brother, we can set up a dock in Jiangnan. Ships can go there for loading and unloading. The local silk and porcelain utensils can be exported.
We must set the price and not sell them cheaply. Whoever dares to sell them cheaply will be punished. Whoever dares to smuggle will be punished until they lose their family fortune. "
Li Yi wanted to set up a new port and set the rules at the same time.
Setting the price together was the way out. Otherwise, they would be the ones to suffer in the end if their own people kept lowering the price.
It was the same as selling vegetables in greenhouses in the East and West markets. Every morning, the price would be set and no one could lower the price.
"What if the barbarians come ashore and collect the goods themselves?" Li Chengqi was worried.
"No one can take them away. Tell the whole area and no one will dare to violate the rules." Li Yi had a deep feeling about this.
He once went to the Dalian seafood market and knew that crabs were sold. Swimming crabs were sold in October.
The seafood market was underground. Carts of crabs were transported there in nylon bags.
The seller was a crab farmer. He put rubber bands on the crabs' claws.
The other markets in Dalian that needed to purchase goods were all here.
When the buyer looked at the goods, it was 15 yuan per catty. There were big and small ones.
He wanted to buy a big bag of over a hundred catties. When he asked for the price, the other person said 15 yuan, but the one who told him 30 yuan.
It was the same no matter which car they went to. They knew each other and could tell.
In the end, he had no choice but to go to the upper floor. There, he would buy more, big and small. He would buy more than 50 kilograms at a time, and the other party would give him 18 yuan.
Of course, the other party had already placed the crab in the water and absorbed some water. However, they gave him a foam box and ice.
Based on this calculation, it was still more worth it to buy from the top. The bottom sold to him for 31 catties, and there were no foam boxes or ice cubes.
This was the rule. Wholesalers would raise the price for retailers.
The same could be done when exporting to the outside world.
"Alright, even if you have your own ship to sell, the price can't be low. Whoever offers a low price will die in the sea."
Li Chengqi agreed. That was what they were going to do.
He ate a razor clam and stuck out his tongue because of the spiciness. "Brother Yi, the Tang dynasty is better now. Do you want to be promoted again?"
"I don't want to. What difference does it make if I get promoted or not? Can I get a higher salary? As for the 42 students, I need to make some arrangements for them this winter.
The 220 students will depend on their specific situation. If they are willing, I can send them to the surrounding counties, but they can't be the leaders. "
Li Yi didn't want to be promoted himself, but he was willing to make arrangements for the students.
Li Chengqi was also thinking about the students of the Li Family Zhuangzi. They learned too many things, and their grades were good.
If it weren't for Li Yi's suppression, the 42 students could have been promoted to a fifth-grade official.
Li Yi didn't agree, so he sent them to the county to train.
The 220 students from last year went to the village to be village officials, even if they were the top students.
If it were other officials who passed the exam, they wouldn't agree to go to the village. They would rather keep their official position.
"Brother Yi, aren't you afraid that they will be resentful if you suppress them like this? When can they contribute to the Tang dynasty? "Li Chengqi asked from the perspective of human nature.
"Resentment? Don't they know how much knowledge they have learned? Resentment?
If they want to be promoted, they can come here. I will take the exam and bring out new knowledge.
They haven't even learned the basic economic theory. What's there to be resentful about?
Look at the Imperial Physician Department. The third, fifth, and seventh graders. The seventh grader is the best, but seven years is enough. Back then, I … "
Li Yi stopped talking. Tears were all over his face.
Starting from kindergarten, to primary school, junior high school, and senior high school, 12 years. Then, he got his undergraduate degree, master's degree, and doctor's degree, 8 years.
When he got his master's degree, he took part in some work. After he graduated, he still had to work slowly.
The doctor's degree in medicine was actually the starting point. He had to show his own ability.
Just like the government, so what if he got a doctor's degree? At most, he would be promoted to a section chief if the economic development wasn't good. He couldn't even be promoted to a section chief if he wanted to.
A doctor can be a county magistrate directly? Dream on!
Now, these students had just become 'civil servants', and they wanted to go to heaven?
Li Yi was curious. He wanted to let Li Yi continue. Seeing that he stopped, he had to ask, "How many years can you be a provincial governor?"
"42 people. It depends on the results. If you are good, you can be a provincial governor for 5 years. For 220 people, you can be a provincial governor for 10 years. For older people, you can be a provincial governor for 6 years."
Li Yi gave the numbers. A provincial governor was equivalent to a provincial party secretary and a local military commander.
Of course, there were more provinces in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to be a mayor, there were fewer cities.
"Brother, you can change the county into a province and increase the number of provinces. The provinces will be commanded by a group of people."
Li Yi wanted to arrange the provinces and cities according to the provinces and cities of his time.
The Henan Province in front of him was in charge of too many places. Shandong Province was directly included.
Hebei Province, Tianjin, Beijing, and the northeast region were also included.
He felt that it was more convenient to arrange the provinces and cities according to the provinces and cities of his time. He could tell the situation of 60% of the cities in each province with his eyes closed.
The main thing was the geographical location and economic level. There was also information that could be checked. The resources of each place and how it should be developed were all listed.
Li Chengqi noted it down and told his third brother when he returned.
At the same time, the villagers were drinking soup. They couldn't eat spicy stir-fried seafood. Li Chengqi didn't bring a lot of seafood.
Everyone in Zhuangzi could eat a meal, but the villagers didn't want to. They just wanted to eat some soup first.
Razor clam tofu soup, clam spinach soup, and try them.
In fact, the soaked clams were the same. It was just that they didn't have shells, so they were less valuable.
The night of May was still a little cold, especially in the Chang 'an region, which was far colder than the south.
The villagers lit up their lamps and hung them on the roads of Zhuangzi, which contrasted with the round moon in the sky.
