Chapter 1058 Overseas Warranty Is Pulled Back

,

"Let me see what time it is now? It's morning, and the place where morning points is eight, Mao Zheng."

"Change to a bigger one, can a day become twelve hours?"

"Go slower, twelve."

Under the clock tower, a group of people looked up to see the time. The clock was still small. Zhuangzi didn't have the time to make a big clock.

A big clock costs a lot of money and takes longer.

In Zhuangzi, Li Yi had already drawn the design of the big clock, which was actually just copying. If he was asked to design it, he wouldn't be able to design it in a year.

There are so many parts in the clock tower, and the size can't be wrong. The bigger it is, the harder it is to make.

Of course, the smaller it is, the harder it is to make.

He added something extra to the clock, and when it turns a circle, when it turns to the position, the corresponding hour can turn.

Just like the place to see the date on a mechanical watch, one turn, six hours change at the same time.

This way of seeing the time is also possible, and there is no need to learn new rules.

There are advertisements for the sale of wall clocks or floor clocks in the newspaper. The prices are naturally different according to the size and decoration.

The cheapest one is a small bell for one hundred strings of cash, which can be hung up.

Not everyone can buy this small bell, there are restrictions.

Only those who have purchased kerosene lamps, thermos bottles and bicycles are eligible.

Of the other bells after that, only one can be bought at will, priced at one thousand strings of cash, with warranty, glass on it, and beautiful glass beads.

The big merchants waited at the bridgehead early, waiting for Li's manor to sell.

Some of them want to send their goods to other prefectures to sell, and some even want to ship them overseas in exchange for a large number of gems and gold and silver.

Bi Gou is at the bridgehead. He didn't look for Li Yi yesterday, and he doesn't want to look for him today.

He feels relieved when he sees the merchants queuing up.

He has handed over the work to others, and is currently resting. He can't work himself to death.

Bi Gou is not afraid of joining the group, he is afraid of death. Jingzhao Prefecture is almost the same every month, and the border war is going smoothly.

He is thinking about living a few more years to experience the prosperity.

Now he sees how many people buy bells, and he will calculate the tax of eight hundred strings for each one he buys.

After accumulating 700,000 strings of cash, he began to collect taxes from Li's farm.

"Good stuff, buy more, buy a thousand, send them overseas, and sell them to overseas kings or chiefs, they have money."

Bi Gou drank sour plum soup, taking a sip from time to time, it was iced, he didn't dare to drink it in a hurry.

He looked at the merchants with kindness and appreciation, and in his eyes, the merchants were the pillars of the country.

"Old Bi, why don't you go in?" Li Yi got the news, Bi Gou was sitting there in his official uniform, and the prime minister's car was parked, so he came out to see.

"Join the group? I heard that you want to get me into the group. Believe it or not, I will hit my head and die on the bridge." Bi Gou glared at Li Yi when he saw him.

"Who said that? It's pure rumor." Li Yi followed with a glare.

"What did Zhang Jiuling say?" Bi Gou had evidence.

"Ask him to come back and be the minister, not the prime minister."

"Become the minister of the Ministry of Revenue and take my position?"

"The minister of the Ministry of Rites, to educate and educate."

"The minister of the Ministry of Rites has no real power." Bi Gou thought the Ministry of Rites was not good.

"Give the imperial examination to the Ministry of Rites, and now it is managed by the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is enough to assess and appoint officials." Li Yi has a way, isn't it just power.

"What's the use of the imperial examination?"

"There is also education funding. You give money to the Ministry of Rites from the Ministry of Revenue. How much money is given each year? The Ministry of Rites uses it to build schools, pay teachers' salaries, organize activities, and reward outstanding students in various parts of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi continued to say that he did not think that the Ministry of Education had little power, and if they wanted to get benefits, they could.

For example, restricting non-local children from going to school, building a good school specifically, wouldn't there be school district housing around.

Bi Gou thought: "It's good to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you can also hold the position of the Ministry of Revenue."

He felt that Zhang Jiuling was more upright. He had previously reported the selection of county officials in the Ministry of Personnel, and found that neither of the two prime ministers was removed.

So he got angry, wrote a report and went home, and stopped playing.

"Don't worry, wait until you come back. You can buy the clock at will. Sell it once, and you can pay the tax."

Li Yi looked at the merchants in line. The merchants were rich.

"Have they sold all the things they bought before? How many rich people are there in the Tang Dynasty?" Bi Gou took another sip of sour plum soup.

"Some of them rented out, and bought a lot of kerosene lamps and thermos bottles at once, so they have a quota to buy bicycles."

Li Yi knew the situation, and released 3,000 bicycles, one thousand strings of cash each.

They couldn't produce them for the time being, so they produced them one after another for people to pick up.

Kerosene lamps and thermos bottles sold more than 6,000 sets. After the merchants bought them, they would advertise them themselves after others rode the bicycles to see who wanted to buy them.

The merchants raised the price and waited for Li's manor to supply them again to get the quota to pick up the goods.

The merchants didn't sell a bicycle, but also thermos bottles and kerosene lamps.

The later the time, the more valuable the current things are.

Now merchants rent out, for example, a kerosene lamp costs 500 coins for one night, and a thermos costs 100 coins for one day.

Don’t worry if it breaks or gets old, just bring it back and exchange it for a new one.

Even if you go to Jiangnan Road, the fare is only a few coins? You can get your money back by renting it for a few more days.

If someone breaks it accidentally, that’s even better, you can ask for more money, but unfortunately, you can’t ask the other party to pay according to the original price.

Paying according to the original price is equivalent to the other party buying it. The other party not only does not suffer a loss, but also gets a bargain.

Seeing that there are many people, Bi Gou is in a good mood: "Sure enough, technology is money."

"You may also lose your life. Try changing to an ordinary person. Unless you meet me, I will help you. If you meet someone from the state government..."

Li Yi stopped talking. With good skills but no strength to protect, how many eyes are watching?

"Can others make the same thing after disassembling it without this skill?" Bi Gou was worried.

"No, there are requirements for the weight of each part. Others can't make that spring. It needs to be replaced after a long time. Other parts are worn and need to be replaced as well."

Li Yi made the clock himself and was very clear about the difficulty.

What's the point of disassembling it? There are only a few parts. Each one is taken out separately for mold casting. How to cast the spring?

Just get some iron sheets? You will know after trying it.

Let alone the clock, the frog that was wound in the past can't be made by people nowadays.

Bi Gou was relieved and asked, "How to repair those sold overseas?"

"Ship them back for repair. Tell the merchants that when they sell them, they will repair them for free if they are broken, but they need to send them back.

If they are really broken, they can only wait for the merchants from the Tang Dynasty to come.

Including the glass mirrors sold in the future, if they are accidentally broken, collect the fragments.

Wait for the merchants to come, or they send people to the Tang Dynasty, and I will replace them for them."

Li Yi has a way to deal with this, encouraging merchants to take things out.

After going, they can bring back more food and enjoy tax reduction and exemption.

Bi Gou smacked his lips: "Why not sell them new ones? Why do we need to replace and repair them for free?"

"Old Bi, you have to think about who will buy them. How can our merchants be welcomed and protected when they go there?"

Li Yi smiled and reminded Bi Gou that if the glass mirror is broken, others will buy new ones, and of course he will make money, but some money cannot be made.
