Chapter 408 Not for Making Money but for Feelings
"Brother Yi, it's done. Officials from Honglu Temple sent news that the Tibetans are preparing a large amount of alcohol that can buy lighters."
Li Chengqi came over at noon and told Li Yi the good news.
Li Yi was frying beef. The dead cow was delivered last night. The two cows fought until they were bloody. In the end, they both died.
The owners of both parties simply gave the cow a good meal and then sent it to Lijiazhuangzi.
The money given by Lijiazhuangzi can buy another cow, which is very generous.
Li Yi also means the same thing. As long as the cow is not sick or has been kept for a long time and someone else has died, he will try his best to give the other party a good price.
It is equivalent to buying a cow for himself and having it killed, but he is reluctant to kill Zhuangzi's cow.
He planned to continue to buy the poor land in the east, ask cattle to plow it, plant beans, and use fertilizer to cultivate it for two years.
Queen Wang saw the cow and said she wanted to eat fried meat.
Li Yi fried the meat into two large pieces, tested them first, and prepared them to be medium-rare.
Seeing the elder brother coming over, he chose another piece of meat and fried it.
"They are really willing to spend money in order to find a way for us." Li Yi said while stirring the meat with chopsticks.
"It's said that after half a month, should the newspaper stop?" Li Chengqi still felt distressed at the loss of 4,200 yuan a day.
"Never stop, make them tremble when they hear the word newspaper, see newspaper, or smell the smell of ink."
Li Yi refused, he admitted that the money was spent.
He wants to leave an impression on the other party, don't provoke me, otherwise I will fight you to the end, even if you want to end it.
How do you say that, oh, you decide when the war starts, but we decide when it ends!
"The money lost, alas!" Li Chengqi knew he couldn't persuade him.
"There is no loss. They are willing to rent a house. I will find a way to rent them a yard. I will sell them a lot of newspapers."
Li Yi helped the other party think about it. The people of the Tang Dynasty were stubborn and would not rent you no matter how much money they gave.
"Brother Yi, tell the truth, what will you do to make up for it in the end?" Li Chengqi simply asked.
"It's impossible for them to spend one or two thousand dollars to buy a small lighter for alcohol, so they will negotiate the price with me.
Making wine requires grain, but I can only use as much grain as I want. I plan to pour a lighter's amount of alcohol and sell it to them for fifty cents.
There is a specified quantity, and I will not sell anything less than that quantity, or I will raise the price ten times, forcing them to raise money. "
Li Yi told him his plan, and the lighter only filled 30 ml of alcohol at a time.
It sells for 50 yuan, 300 ml for 500 yuan, and 3,000 ml for 5,000 yuan.
Five thousand yuan for grain can buy a lot. The five thousand yuan for grain can be used to make wine, and then distill the alcohol and sell it to the Tubo people, which can be sold for 90,000 yuan.
If Tubo has money, just buy it. The alcohol made from a boatload of grain can make Tubo cry.
Moreover, the distiller's grains can also be used to feed pigs, horses, and cows. It just needs to be fermented first, and then mixed with other ingredients to provide nutrients.
If the Tang Dynasty is short of food, will it care about five thousand shi of food?
Of course, Tubo could not afford alcohol made from five thousand shi of grain.
Li Chengqi was also settling accounts. He also knew that alcohol and food were not the same price.
After finishing the calculation, I felt it was a good deal: "What should we do next?"
"If I don't have money, I'll return the house I rented at a high price. I'll buy the newspaper if I sell it." Li Yi gave the answer.
"Aren't you going to bring them back to Tibet? I know that after writing on paper, it can be used to make paper again. Do you want to buy it and make it into a newspaper?"
Li Chengqi thought of a method of operation.
“No, no, no, when I bought it, I didn’t pay three cents per piece, but three cents per bundle, and then took it out to sell in other states.
It is sold all the way along the Yellow River by boat on the return journey, and it is still three yuan a piece. There are stories and daily life knowledge in it.
Turn it over and you can write on the back. It's so cheap. You can buy one for only three yuan. It is equivalent to me publishing a newspaper again, the cost is too low to even think about, selling it for three yuan. "
Li Yi told me how to operate it. The newspaper will continue to be sold issue by issue. Is it free to buy a piece of paper to practice calligraphy?
Sell it now and let other states accept it so that you can advertise it later.
Li Chengqi thought about it and thought it made sense. Why should it be made into paper again?
The people of the Tang Dynasty did not care when the newspaper was published, as long as they could read it, it had value.
He took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yi, why are you so serious? You just follow one move after another. No wonder you are willing to lose 4,200 yuan every day.
Along the way, people in various state capitals bought the water boats and advertised them in the future. Oh my God! How much do you make from advertising? "
"I don't expect to make much money by cooperating with His Majesty. I will support the system for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." Li Yi sang in a high-profile tone.
To him, money is a new luxury product. Only by promoting social development can he gain longevity.
Li Chengqi once again believed that Brother Yi was indeed working for the Tang Dynasty, and he himself was... living a pretty good life.
Li Chengqi realized that Yi Di's life was going well.
"Brother, do you know how to use a knife and fork?" Li Yi's steak is ready and cannot be fried. If it is fried, it will become smaller and hard to bite.
"Who doesn't know how to use a knife and fork? But when people don't eat whole roasted animals, they don't use knives and forks. Only uncivilized people use knives and forks."
Li Chengqi smiled, how could he ask such a question.
"It's good if you know how. This is to cut with a knife and fork." Li Yi agreed with his elder brother.
Yes, uncivilized people use knives and forks, but we ancient Chinese used it, and it was still a separate meal system. Later it evolved and we used chopsticks.
He brought it over and put the knife and fork on it. As expected, Queen Wang and Li Chengqi cut the meat skillfully, knowing that the undercooked meat was hot inside.
Queen Wang took a bite of the meat, chewed it well, and swallowed it with the soup: "Uncle, you collected so many mugwort seeds, what are the other uses besides mugwort?"
In Queen Wang's impression, mugwort is useful. It can be boiled and washed, and it can also be made into moxa sticks and used in acupuncture.
"Making medicine is a very powerful medicine. I can't purify it too much, but it still has obvious effects.
I planned to use this medicine to achieve the previous layout purpose, but they rushed over to steal the technology themselves.
This medicine, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, can earn them a lot of money in the future, and then the people of the Tang Dynasty can also solve a disease.
Among so many mugworts, only one kind of mugwort is enough. If I collect mugwort and that kind of mugwort separately, people in Fanbang will guess it. "
Li Yi talked about his arrangement. He wanted all kinds of wormwood, and the last two kinds of wormwood were used for medicinal purposes.
"Throw away the other mugwort seeds in vain? You bought them with money." Queen Wang felt sorry for money again.
"It is made into mosquito-repellent incense. People exchange Artemisia seeds and Zhuangzi for mosquito-repellent incense. They don't have to spend money. People with money can buy it. It's not expensive.
I'm going to find some people to make it. It's very simple. Just crush it, turn it into mud, press it into shape, and dry it in the sun. "
Li Yi knew that there were incense sticks in the Tang Dynasty, but they were all good spices, and they even competed with each other.
It’s a game for the rich, but no one has ever thought of making mugwort into incense for the common people to use in the summer.
The kind of incense sold by rich families can also repel mosquitoes and flies, but the effect is actually not as good as that of mugwort.
Artemisia belongs to the Asteraceae family, and pyrethroids are very effective against mosquitoes and flies.
Even if pyrethroids are not purified, there are still components in cigarette smoke.
This thing is so useful, it’s hard to sleep with mosquitoes.
