"Selling newspapers. Businessmen, take a look. Seafood is transported and raised over long distances. A large percentage of them are sent to Chang 'an alive."
"Bicycle sales exceed 700 yuan. Who is hesitating? Who is queuing? Li Family Zhuangzi has decided to only make 1,000 bicycles for the first batch."
"In the beginning of summer, people should be wary of typhoid, fever, runny nose, sneezing. Seek medical treatment early. Don't drag small illnesses into serious illnesses. The imperial court will subsidize medical treatment."
"With more bamboo shoots, the panda has come back to life. The panda that was very small last year has grown up. It is still so cute."
"People who work in the water, bring some salt with you. If you encounter a leech bite, just put some salt on it.
Don't pull it out forcefully. Don't hit it with force.
If you pull it out forcefully, you will leave a leech behind and cause infection.
Hitting it with force will cause local blood vessels to dilate. If you encounter cold water, cold air will enter your body. "
"Selling newspapers. Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion has donated soap for cleaning. It is free to use. The government has it. Everyone should wash their hands frequently."
"The river is not warm. People who want to swim in the water must remember to bring life-saving equipment. Don't get cramps. Think of your family."
"The fire is strong this season. You should stew more vegetables. Don't stew pork knuckle soup or chicken soup without salt. If the woman who feeds the child doesn't have enough salt, the child will get sick easily. "
The paperboys shouted some of the contents of the newspapers. A new batch of twenty paperboys rode to the west of the city to deliver the newspapers.
The paperboys from the various counties in the government said similar things. The people were already used to it.
If it was raining heavily, the paperboys' shouts could not cover the sound of the rain. They always felt that something was missing in their lives.
Even if it was raining heavily, the paperboys would still sell newspapers. They wore the raincoats and boots provided by Li Family Zhuangzi. They carried waterproof newspaper bags and walked in the rain.
The newspapers not only contained stories, general knowledge, political news that could be publicized, many advertisements, and humanistic concerns.
There would always be times when they reminded you not to do something and the dangers if you did it.
Occasionally, they would write some humorous jokes to make the people laugh.
… …
"I don't understand. I really don't understand. Why would Song Wang Hai announce the method of raising fresh water in the newspapers? "
Bi Goo was interested in money. He had two catties of shelled seafood a day. He used it to make soup, stir-fried chives, hotpot, and dumplings. He would probably get sick of it in a few days.
He looked at the newspaper, unable to understand it from his own perspective.
Why would King Song choose to teach others instead of earning money?
"A merchant sent it here to pay taxes. He must be here to help you." Su Yi said something that even he didn't believe.
"I'll take it that he's thinking that way." Bi Goo really couldn't figure it out, so he said sullenly.
"The tracks in Chang 'an will be completed soon. I see many people working in the southern part of the city. Apart from the Ministry of Revenue, the Li Family Zhuangzi is the most frequently engaged in construction."
Song Jing received news that many captives were working in the south of the city to build houses.
A little further back were the officials who didn't have houses, and a little closer were the people who used to live in shacks.
There was also the warehouse area and the Li Family Zhuangzi's workshop. Now, they were building a house. Could it be that they were going to raise livestock?
It was said that Shopkeeper Liang had bought a lot of pigs, big and small, which made the price of pork in Chang 'an go up a lot.
"Shopkeeper Liang and the others have contacted the people in the prefecture north of the capital to help raise the pigs. Shopkeeper Liang and the others are providing feed."
Song Jing said. He was prepared to take over. In his view, the one who helped the people should be the imperial court.
If a group of merchants were to provide additional income for the people, would the people still care about the imperial court?
Even if the imperial court couldn't directly distribute the pigs and feed to the people, they should at least monitor it, right? How could the merchants operate it?
"We should ask." Su Yi, who understood Song Jing's thoughts, agreed.
"The imperial court has never interfered in such matters." Bi Goo took out some walnuts and threw them into his mouth.
Li Yi told him to eat some dried fruits, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, and chestnuts every day.
There were no more chestnuts. Half a month ago, the last batch of sugar-fried chestnuts was sold by the group of youths in Lantian County.
They had received the teachings of the Li Family Zhuangzi on how to preserve chestnuts. In fact, the newspaper had already introduced how to preserve chestnuts until spring.
Others didn't dare to try. If the number of chestnuts required was too large, they might rot if they didn't preserve them well.
Preserving a small number of chestnuts couldn't be done. They couldn't be preserved, and the facilities had to be complete.
The youths in Lantian County had already returned the money for the pots, but they kept the pots.
They bought many new pots. The original two big pots were fried once every three days, and then they carefully put them away.
If the pots weren't used often, they would rot, and if they were used often, they would wear out.
They wanted to keep them to remind themselves of their promise to Li Yi to help more people become rich.
They believed that if Li Dongzhu had a way to make them earn money quickly, he had the ability to make them go bankrupt overnight.
They had earned a few thousand chestnuts and felt that it was a lot. Li Dongzhu casually threw out a few hundred thousand chestnuts.
Song Jing took some walnuts from Bi Goo's hand. "It's different now. There are many things happening, and the imperial court can't keep up. The people will slowly stop trusting the imperial court."
"Let's wait for a year and see how Shopkeeper Liang and the others operate. If Li Yi supports a person or a team, he will definitely let this team lead others to make money."
Su Yi felt that he understood Li Yi's thoughts. Those who made money with Li Yi were guaranteed to provide more help to the people.
The Zhang Family Village was rich, so they would send leftovers to Chang 'an's Grief Tianfang.
The Imperial Plantation was rich, so they would also send some hot pot chicken.
Even Zhangsun Xin, who had earned money, knew how to continue to recruit workers, and provided cheap black bread and free soup.
"Xiao Yi said that it's called being rich first and leading others to become rich together. You can't turn around and bully the poor when you're rich."
Bi Goo explained Li Yi's theory. Li Yi kept staring at others.
This included the people from the imperial government who had learned how to grow greenhouses from Li Family Zhuangzi. When they were rich, they had to hand over a larger proportion of public funds to the village.
… …
"Increase the income of the coastal people, especially the people who cook the salt. They can help to get more seafood."
The Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi, and Li Longji were talking. Li Longji came over himself.
He came to ask about the first batch of goods transported by the Yellow River. He didn't know what was in it.
By the way, he talked about the situation of the businessmen who raised seafood all the way to Chang 'an. So far, live seafood was only suitable for long-distance transportation with shells.
Li Yi considered the problem from the perspective of Sichuan salt. There would be more Sichuan salt in the future. Well salt was more delicious than boiled sea salt.
Well salt was an underground brine. It had high purity and few impurities.
There were many other things in the seawater. It needed to be boiled with yellow mud and filtered.
Even so, the purity of the boiled salt was still incomparable to that of the well salt.
Sea salt was affected, but the people by the sea had to make a living.
Now, the seaside of the Tang dynasty was full of dilapidated fishing villages. Before the reform and opening up, Dalian, Lushun Island, and Shenzhen were all dilapidated fishing villages in Li Yi's time.
It was because the caught seafood couldn't be sold and could only be sold in the surrounding areas. The surrounding people didn't have money, so the price couldn't be raised.
They could be sold to Luoyang and Chang 'an. With Li Chengqi's group, other businessmen couldn't lower the price. The people by the sea could make more money.
Smelly fish and shrimps could be made into braised shrimp sauce. As for other things, they could be dried. If they were alive, they could raise the price and the businessmen would buy them.
