Chapter 117 The Lights Should Dim This Winter

Pei Yaoqing watched Li Yi add things to adjust the fire, and then discovered something.

From the first time he came into contact with this young man, he was so natural, acting and speaking without any artificiality.

He will not give you any hints, nor will he make any demands. He will always say what he wants.

When you are with him, if you don't think too much, you will feel very calm.

This is a kind of Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. How did the young man master it?

"Brother Yi, how many shortcomings do you have in the Chang'an Order?" Pei Yaoqing sincerely asked for advice.

"Chang'an City is short of supplies. Before, we forcibly purchased things from the people, and then made white notes, so we owed them first.

When Brother Pei took office, he only bought from rich families and gave money first.

The common people who have nothing are better off, and the rich who have things are also better off.

This is called material circulation, and there is no debt accumulation.

Therefore, both the common people who don’t have many things at home and the rich who have many things and can’t exchange them for money are grateful to you. "

Li Yi talked about what Pei Yaoqing had done before and continues to do now.

The ability to balance this kind of relationship is very powerful, and no one can be offended.

Pei Yaoqing smiled: "It turns out that Brother Yi also knows that it is a helpless act for him."

He humbles himself.

"But it's not enough." Li Yi was very honest and told you that you are not good and have done too little.

Pei Yaoqing nodded. If it had been someone else, he would have promised to refute it, but if Li Yi said it, he would admit it.

At least what he did was not as good as Li Yizhuangzi's.

"Brother Pei, drink some wine and wine, and drink less to rejuvenate your blood in winter." Li Yi left for a while, came back with a glass and wine, and poured wine for Pei Yaoqing first.

Then he said: "People's livelihood issues are coordination issues, coordinating technology, coordinating industries, coordinating work locations, and coordinating the flow of materials."

Pei Yaoqing looked at the wine glasses, glasses, and goblets. They were beautiful, good-looking, and charming.

Especially when the red wine is in it, I feel like my mind is being drawn in.

His hand touched the wine glass, then he stopped and looked at Li Yi: "What's more specific?"

“The specific point is that rich people have money and don’t know what they can do to make money; ordinary people have no money and they don’t know what they can do to make money.

You are the order of Chang'an, and you find ways for the rich to make money. To make money, you need to hire workers, so the people can work. "

Li Yi talked about the most common problem he had at that time. Officials were full of ways to make money, and then thought about which one was suitable for their own place.

"Brother Yi, please be more specific." Pei Yaoqing said he understood, but wanted an example.

"To be more specific, I grow rice, and the fields are filled with water and have frozen.

In a few days, I built fences around several fields and continued to fill them with water to turn them into an ice rink.

I have something to play on the ice with, and let the rich people from Chang'an City come over to play.

Of course, I don't need to hire extra people. I have people on my farm who are responsible for setting up the ice rink and making play items.

Isn't this just a business? I don't have a village, so I rent a place from the government for a winter, fill it with water, hire people to pour ice and make utensils, while others play.

The money I invested was earned, the people who played were happy, and the people who were employed had work. "

Li Yi said specifically, he had to do this in winter, but now he couldn't do it, so his children could only play with ice cars and play fortune-telling.

"What a good idea. I'll find a place to build an ice rink when I get back." Pei Yaoqing thinks it will work.

"Brother Pei, if this is the case, you will think whatever I do, and then all those people under you will be freeloaders? Think more."

Li Yi is helpless. If I, Zhuangzi, want to do it, you should follow my example.

I don't care, I have other ways, but you are a county magistrate, why don't you find someone to think of it yourself?

Pei Yaoqing didn't drink, so he blushed first. Indeed, Yi Di said how to do it, not what Yi Di did.

The problem is...I can't figure it out.

"Brother Yi, tell me a few words. It's out of respect for my brother that I do it first." Pei Yaoqing said and wanted to toast.

"No, don't drink it all, you have to taste it slowly." Li Yi stopped him. If he drinks like this, what should he do if he drinks too much in a while?

Pei Yaoqing didn't show any amusement. He took a sip and said, "It tastes good. Tell me a few."

Li Yi nodded: "Okay, since Brother Pei wants to solve people's livelihood issues, let me come up with some ways to make money."

Pei Yaoqing was shocked when he heard what Li Yi said.

Yes, these are good ways to make money. Ask Brother Yi and tell other rich households, and then the rich households will make money, isn’t it...

"Brother Yi, stop talking." Pei Yaoqing felt uncomfortable, using Li Yi's money to compensate others, what's the point of being the Chang'an order?

Li Yi was stunned for a moment and then understood what Pei Yaoqing was thinking.

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm here to find ways to make more money at any time. People's livelihood is the most important thing."

"But...but..." Pei Yaoqing couldn't continue.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "As long as I am still an official, whoever dares to provoke Yi Di's Zhuangzi in the future, I will protect with my life."

"Thank you, Brother Pei." Li Yi cupped his fists.

Then he said: "My method can bring fame and profit. The streets in Chang'an City are crisscrossed, especially Zhuque Street, which is so wide."

"It's wide. Chengtianmen Cross Street is even wider, as wide as three Zhuque Streets." Pei Yaoqing followed.

"The Chengtianmen one... is also okay." Li Yi suddenly thought, yes.

Why is Chengtianmen Street wide? Because it passes through the palace, if something happens, the army must quickly enter or attack.

How wide? More than four hundred meters.

To the north of Hengjie Street is Taiji Palace, to the south are Taichang Temple, Taimiao Temple, Honglu Temple, General Supervisor, Shangshu Province...

Ordinary people can't walk on that street or enter. There are imperial city walls on both sides, a city within a city.

But there are entertainment activities in winter, so it should be no problem. The emperor doesn't stay on the street. Behind is the Forbidden Garden. There are three thousand Feather Forest Flying Riders there!

"What to do?" Pei Yaoqing was tempted.

"Brother Pei, does he know about ice? The ice in the river freezes in winter." Li Yi asked.

Pei Yaoqing's eyes were filled with resentment, and he thought to himself, Brother Yi, what do you mean? I figured it out, but I'm not stupid.

Not only do I know there is ice, I also know how to store ice. UU reading www. ukanshu.net Take it out in the summer, it is very expensive.

"Brother Yi, do you want me to store more ice for you?" Pei Yaoqing asked.

"If there is no place to store ice, you don't have to worry about those who have room. They have already stored it themselves." Li Yi waved his hand.

Pei Yaoqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Brother Yi was not stupid.

"Brother Pei, do you know about carvings? There are wood carvings and stone carvings. Then the ice sculptures are very beautiful. Put candles inside, and they will be beautiful at night."

Li Yi gestured with his hands and said.

Pei Yaoqing opened his eyes wide and nodded: "Yes, if you can carve ice, how can you make money?"

“If there are too many ice sculptures and lanterns are put on, wouldn’t there be a lantern festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month with many people buying and selling things?

Everyone is also willing to write a poem or something, such as if there is a lamp without a moon, it will not entertain people, and if there is a moon without a lamp, it is not spring. When spring arrives in the world, people are like jade, and when the lamp is burning, the moon is like silver and so on, right? "

Li Yi explained.

Pei Yaoqing: "..."

He felt like he had been hit again, a hard one.

We are talking about making money, and you just write a poem casually? I can't keep up with the rhythm!

I am a boy who is very capable, but I will not lead you like this. I just say casually, wow, a poem has come out. I am not writing poetry just for the sake of writing poetry, but using an analogy.

Are you bullying me?

Pei Yaoqing thought this way and took a deep breath: "Brother Yi, let's talk about ice sculptures. Now that I know what it means, how can I find someone specifically?"

"Brother, you understand, right? It's simple. The main thing about ice lanterns is that you have to publicize its beauty and tell people who are willing to invest.

Talking about that...for example, Yetang Liuying times Shengyan, who is still in the dark. The candle is faint and only holds a cup of water, while the fire should fall and the beads are cold and so on. "

Li Yi explained patiently and gave ideas.

Pei Yaoqing said again: "..."
