Chapter 94: Never Change Your Original Intention.

As Li Chengqi spoke, he found a dinner plate, put the food on it, and sat down opposite Li Yi.

"Brother, what you use is better than what is sold." Li Yi frowned slightly. What he gave to his eldest brother was the same as what his third brother and sister-in-law gave. There was a lot of it, which was enough for skin care.

"There is no bottle. Now I only recognize bottles. The women in my family were playing with others outside, and some people wiped their mouths with glass bottles." Li Chengqi said the problem.

Li Yi: "..."

He thinks the eldest brother's women are too low-level. Do they use name tags to show their status?

High-level people are all custom-made, who will wear the trademark?

"Brother, don't be anxious. Eat first. There are many bottles. Take them back after you finish your meal." Li Yi comforted.

Li Chengqi nodded and realized what he was serving.

"Is this mung bean flour? Stir-fried with bean sprouts and dried tofu shreds?" He said, taking a bite and clicking his lips twice: "It's delicious."

"Brother, in winter, shelled oysters are coming." Li Yi didn't care about his brother eating vermicelli.

Nowadays, there are bean flours. Wheat flour cannot be used to make vermicelli. It is not tough enough. Unless something else is added, it can only be made into dough or cold noodles.

He was more concerned with the oysters in the shell.

There has been a trend of eating oysters in the capital. It is probably the eldest brother who spread the word to others, saying that eating oysters is good for both men and women.

So the price keeps rising.

There is also sea cabbage, a thing that is fed to ducks, and has become a high-priced cold dish in Chang'an City.

Li Chengqi sighed: "Oysters and cabbage on the beach are expensive. Originally, it was labor wages. Twenty or thirty dollars a day was considered good, but now it is no longer possible."

"How much more expensive?" Li Yi asked with a smile. The relationship between supply and demand has changed. Under normal circumstances, people at the beach would be making money.

Li Chengqi held out three fingers: "Three times, only labor is counted, and the goods are free of charge."

As he said that, Li Chengqi looked unhappy: "When I asked people to buy things there, they were grateful, but now I can't help but give them less money."

Li Yi understood, got up and went to find some wine. If it was good wine, he brought it back and poured wine into the glasses for the two of them.

Taking a sip of wine, Li Yi said: "Brother, what did we think at the beginning?"

"Buy the worthless things at the beach and let them make more money." Li Chengqi picked up the wine cup and said, but he didn't forget it.

"Are you making more money now?" Li Yi asked.

"It was a profit, but they..." Li Chengqi was sad and raised his head to drink all the wine in the cup.

"Brother, you don't just want to help them make money, you also want them to always be grateful to you, and then they don't take the money that others give you, so they keep your low wages."

Li Yi's words went straight to his heart.

"Yes, shouldn't it?" Li Chengqi turned to look at the dishes on the table, still angry.

"Brother, you are a relative of the emperor. We stand at different heights. If you want to make a fortune, I have a new way here.

If you are serving the country and the people, I will help you promote seafood. There is a method of cultivating kelp here, as well as oysters, not to mention sea cabbage. "

Li Yi persuaded that it would be enough to achieve the goal. Wasn't it originally just to give the Hai people who had a hard life multiple ways to make money?

Li Chengqi nodded, but was still unhappy and said, "But Brother Yi, the people in Zhuangzi and Zhangjia Village don't treat you that way."

"That's because I am one with them. When you went to collect things, are you one with the people at the beach? Compare your feelings.

The people at the beach are making more money. Not only are you unhappy, you also feel wronged.

How much money did we make from oysters and sea cabbage? Give some away. We will benefit and the people will live longer. We cannot use morality to suppress people's hearts. The ants are still living an ignoble existence. "

Li Yi said earnestly.

"Brother Yi, you really don't care?" Li Chengqi suddenly realized.

"I don't care. Why don't I want to make more money? But you can't make enough money. Monopoly is worse than cooperation. We must stand on the side of the court. If the people are rich, the country will be rich.

Life is difficult for the people of the sea, and there are many turmoils. They can make extra money, but they are not willing to cause chaos no matter how much you want them to.

The way of the people is that those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those without permanent property have no perseverance. If you don't have perseverance, you will do everything you can to ward off evil spirits. "

Li Yi enlightened his elder brother and took out Mencius.

Li Chengqi was suddenly startled, took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yi, you are a true national scholar!"

He finally realized how bad his thinking was, so he thought about how to make some money. Yi Di had a way to make money.

It is important that the people on the beach live a good life. Many times, the people on the beach rebelled and were suppressed again.

If their lives are better and you ask them to rebel, they won't do it.

What I struggle with is making more money or making less money, while Brother Yi thinks about stability.

With this in mind, Li Chengqi said to Li Yi, "Brother Yi will teach me what to do in the future."

"Brother, why are you doing this? It's only three times the labor price, so I'll give you five times. They haven't sold the oysters and cabbage yet, they're just working.

At five times the wages, capable people were hired, and they naturally worked hard to get it. When they returned to Chang'an, we made a lot of profits. "

Li Yi came up with the idea to pay five times the previous wages, so that many sea people would come to work, fish them out and transport them to Chang'an quickly.

Isn't it just labor cost competition? It doesn't matter.

What I'm most afraid of is that after the locals catch the oysters and sea cabbage themselves, it would be uncomfortable.

Just like soy sauce, there is too much competition.

Li Chengqi ran out without saying a word and asked his people to tell him, quickly, go to the beach, add money, and collect things.

When he came back, his whole person seemed to have been reborn, and he saluted Li Yi: "Brother Yi, I have learned a lesson from you."

Li Yi stood up helplessly and returned the greeting: "Brother, don't say that. My eldest brother cares about the Tang Dynasty, but he just hates the people and does not fight."

Li Chengqi sat back and pointed at the pile of things he put on the dinner plate: "What is this?"

"Sweet and sour snails are for children. Adults won't touch them. Since you're pretending, brother, you're just drinking."

Li Yi knew that his eldest brother was confused just now and didn't even look at Sheng Cai.

Snails are used as snacks for children, UU Reading www. uukａnshu.net says it's sweet and sour, but it actually has a little chili oil in it.

He has an indifferent attitude towards children eating chili peppers. Who stipulates that children cannot eat spicy food? He ate a lot when he was little.

Later, for some reason, it became the case that children were not allowed to eat anything spicy at all, and they had to stress every order.

So for the children on Zhuangzi, many snacks are spicy, so he provides some chili noodles.

"Brother Yi, apart from the greenhouse vegetables I learned from you, is there anything else you can make money in winter?"

Li Chengqi ate a snail and took a sip of wine. It was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue and asked.

"Yes." Li Yi gave the answer without thinking.

"As a brother, I know that I can just ask Brother Yi when I face him." Li Chengqi smiled. If anything happens, just ask him when he faces Brother Yi. He has never been disappointed.

"Do you want to stay in the village and sell things, or set up a stall outside to sell things?" Li Yi asked first to confirm whether he wanted to be a resident merchant or a businessman.

"What's the difference between the two? What they sell are different?" Li Chengqi asked for advice.

"Make money by yourself or with others," Li Yi said.

"Of course we made money together, I am a relative of the emperor." Li Chengqi is now thinking about the Tang Dynasty and was influenced by Li Yi.

He felt that if his starting point was not for Datang, he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Brother Yi.

He felt that as a Song king, he did not love the Tang Dynasty as much as Yi Di.

"Selling candied haws, they are divided into glutinous rice candied haws, sugared haws and rock candied haws. Big brother, if you wholesale, you are a resident merchant. If you send people to sell them yourself, you are a traveling merchant."

Li Yi came up with an idea. Now that it's winter, the drug store has a lot of brown sugar, so he can buy it, process it and sell it.

The autumn wheat harvest is also over, and glutinous rice candy should also be on the market.
