Chapter 291 Give Something for Free in Exchange for Equal Value

It was naturally impossible for the six businessmen to continue eating, even if the food smelled really good.

"What should I do?" Someone asked after they had walked far outside and the six of them stopped.

"Li Yi said 10,000 kilograms of well salt can be purchased for blueprints?" someone else said.

"Ten thousand kilograms is not enough. How much salt will be transported this time? Let's give half a percent." Yang Huanjin said helplessly.

"One and a half million catties?" The person who asked before felt distressed.

They spent the entire year outside, including the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Several large salt merchants transported 30 million kilograms of salt to Chang'an by water.

The total amount of food for everyone in Jingzhao Mansion and surrounding areas is 30 million jins, enough to feed them for a month and a half.

Now I eat less, enough to last about four months.

When there are more vegetables and wild vegetables, people will pickle various things with salt.

They start as soon as spring begins, some are eaten on a daily basis, and most are eaten in winter when there are no vegetables.

They are all pickles and salted vegetables.

Just like the two countries on the Korean Peninsula at Li Yi's time, both north and south.

Of course, the people of Chang'an were relatively wealthy and could make salted dishes of meat.

Including bacon, salted eggs, etc.

On days when there is less meat, eat hard, then drink water and eat salty things.

Li Yi's Northeast was like this. Everything was lacking. When the older generation ate, pickles and pickles were indispensable on the table.

This is actually the case in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places.

Sauerkraut is not unique to the Northeast, but there are too many sauerkraut in the Northeast.

The spicy cabbage on the Korean Peninsula is called kimchi, but the real kimchi is from Sichuan.

There is a big difference between the two, they are not the same thing.

Some people from the Northeast traveled to South Korea and wanted to buy some kimchi to eat at home. But when they saw it, they thought, oh my god, do you call the spicy cabbage over there kimchi? Even the Northeastern people don’t recognize it, we only recognize it from Sichuan.

Spicy cabbage costs five or six yuan a pound. Sometimes it’s on special for just over two yuan a pound. I’m here and you spend more than forty yuan to buy it? Are you treating me as my second bestie?

At this time, there were no chili peppers or spicy cabbage in the Tang Dynasty, only pickled cabbage. There were many kinds, not just those pickled with cabbage.

Therefore, a lot of salt is consumed and the salt is not pure enough.

Thirty million kilograms of salt were transported and a profit of more than 30% was made.

It hurts to give half of it to others for free.

That's not half, half of thirty million catties is one and a half million catties.

Thirty percent profit is the profit of 9 million jins of salt, 1.5 million jins, nearly 17%, more than 1.5%.

"Here." A Shu merchant gritted his teeth and admitted.

He knew he had offended someone, and he offended Li Yi after Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong failed to reach an agreement.

As expected, Li Yi was yelling at the prime ministers one after another.

I also heard a fellow countryman say that profit comes from the prime minister's understanding and persuading people with virtue.

So the next day, February 2, the dragon raised its head.

Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong once again arrived at the Bashui Bridge with others.

The people at Qianniuwei have changed. I don’t know them. Everyone ate shaomai early in the morning, stuffed with mutton and green onions, and drank mutton soup.

The Shu superiors, who also learned some things from their fellow villagers, presented two pieces of Shu brocade to the people of Qianniuwei to divide among themselves.

I didn’t hide it anymore, I said the same thing, just give it directly, no need to dress up.

People from the four palaces came to pick her up again. They didn't hear the sound of children reading on the way. What they heard yesterday was too shocking.

"Why is it so quiet today?" Huang Xianrong asked, wanting to relieve the pressure.

"Today's exam will be as good as what you have learned. The proprietor said, one exam every five days and one exam every month. Let the children get used to exams."

Cuiliu trembled when she said this.

Because she also had to take an exam, the proprietor came up with it.

Study during Zhuangzi's days, give you books when you get back, and then take the test when it's your turn to go to class.

If he fails a certain subject twice in a row, the proprietor will ask Gao Lishi to replace him.

Knowing so many secrets, once he is replaced, the consequences can be imagined.

When the two of them saw Li Yi in confusion, Li Yi was immersed in writing and answering questions...

Li Yi discovered the secret and asked the system for exam materials and medical content.

Then look at the questions and answer them.

There is no filling in the blanks, making choices, or judging right or wrong, just debate and discussion.

He first reads relevant books, then writes on paper, and then compares them with the correct answers.

Isn’t it just an exam? Let’s learn!

He is different from others. As long as others pass, he must pursue perfect scores.

Otherwise, should I tell the patient during the operation that I am 60% sure?

The success rate is 60%, depending on the surgery.

Appendix, or assisted birth, 60% of the time, the other person turns around and leaves.

Six percent, no, six thousandths, the other party still leaves.

Li Yi strictly demands himself.

Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong didn't know it. When they were about to speak, they were stopped by the eunuch and the palace maid.

Take him to the side to make tea, put snacks and dried fruits.

Li Yi finished answering another question, compared the correct answers, and nodded, OK, almost, not every word is the same.

He put down his pen, rubbed his wrist and eyes, turned around and said with a smile: "You two have discussed it with others and want to cooperate?"

"I bought the blueprints for 1.5 million kilograms of salt." Yang Huanjin's voice was hoarse.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the other two things."

"Dongzhu Li, please speak." Yang Huanjin looked like he was being slaughtered.

"Hudou, I want two hundred thousand catties, which is the same as Chang'an's purchase price in bulk.

I want as much Sichuan pepper as I want, especially Dahongpao, which is the same price as buying in bulk in Chang'an.

This year, the mustard knots need to be dried in the shade first and then shipped over. The price is the same as above for one million catties.

As for those of you who want to dig salt wells, don’t come to me. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I only have a small part in this matter, a very small part.

As for who took the big deal, I believe you can give me a price one hundred and fifty times that of the original drawings. You should know something, right? "

Li Yi offered benefits. Although the price was the same, he had a large demand and the other party still had a lot of profits.

At the same time, he also provided information that no money can buy, who will dig the salt well there.

Li Yi was just accustomed to business negotiations, but he was unwilling to take advantage of the Shu people.

In fact, he is not willing to take advantage of anyone. If he has the ability to make money, why bully others.

He is not from Sichuan, but he has a high opinion of Sichuan.

According to history, during the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji ran to Sichuan.

Li Longji was in such a miserable state at that time, but Sichuan still protected him.

Later, the Tang Dynasty perished and the Song Dynasty emerged. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the people from Sichuan were still at the front, and the large Mongolian troops had to run around Sichuan, otherwise they would be beaten.

As a result, he ran around and was still beaten. This is how Meng Ge, the great Khan of Mongolia, died.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan still had a white-pole army.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army's death flag fluttered in the wind.

Whenever China is in crisis, that place with many ethnic minorities will use countless lives to support the Central Plains.

Then there is still so beautiful, so beautiful, beautiful rivers and mountains!

Historically, Shanxi merchants were unreliable; Lu merchants were unreliable; Fujian merchants were unreliable; Liao merchants were unreliable...

The wealthy business families in each place are unreliable.

And Shu merchants are reliable.

Regardless of what Shu merchants do in normal times, they will stand up when the country is in danger.

Some people even said that if Shu is not lost, China will not be destroyed.
