Chapter 1691: Good Service in a Country of Etiquette

Meng Haoran and Wang Wei have the same idea. You say it, don't ask.

"The main purpose of the train is transportation. It can also help stop floods at critical moments. It is usually not used. Or it can be grown into a house to live in."

Li Yi saw that others were unwilling to think about it, so he talked about it himself.

Everyone looked at him: You continue.

"There are few pedestrians in our Tang Dynasty at present, and the train is used for freight first. As long as the transportation cost is lower than the cost of the caravan taking land and water routes, merchants are naturally willing to spend money.

In addition, the Yellow River cannot be crossed in winter, and it can only be taken by land. It is cold, plus the time cost. Even if it is slightly more expensive by 10%, merchants still choose trains."

Li Yi first told everyone about the freight. Money can move the hearts of officials.

"I think it's a lot." Changsun Xin was moved. Although he always does good deeds, it does not affect his happiness when making money.

"The livestock used for transportation can be used elsewhere." Meng Haoran considered the saved animal power resources.

"The most important thing for fresh things is time." Wang Wei got to the point. He loves seafood.

"The reason why the train stays for a long time is related to the amount of goods loaded and unloaded.

Oh, it's not that people go up to load and unload when it stops, and the carriages are dropped and connected.

The closer the cargo carriage is to the destination, the more it is placed at the back and connected. After unloading, it is connected to another carriage.

The more carriages there are, the longer it takes. The more cargo there is, the more carriages there are. Organizing the source of goods is the key."

Li Yi used the utensils on the table to show how to unload and hang.

The three people understand, waiting here?

"The local economy is prosperous and the organization is strong, which can be seen from the stop time of the train."

Meng Haoran felt the weight of responsibility, and the officials of Lantian County had to work hard.

"Collecting taxes, right?" Wang Wei considered the issue of money.

"If you sell in Lantian County, you will pay taxes in Lantian County, or you will pay taxes after unloading and go to other places with the tax receipt. Taxes are piled up layer by layer."

Li Yi wondered if there should be a policy to refund taxes, and pay taxes for a batch of goods as a whole.

Distribute it, and the wholesalers below will pay taxes again.

At the retail end, it is still a tax.

Even if the tax rate is 30%, it will eventually become 10%.

A batch of goods is 100 strings, the cost is 80 strings, and the profit is 20 strings. The profit of 20 strings is 10 strings for the court.

Of course, it is not actually calculated this way. There is a markup for each sale.

The final terminal sales are 100 strings, and the tax collected in the middle and the front is less than 100 strings as the total amount.

"We will adjust the goods, increase the manpower, and see where warehouses need to be built." Wang Wei promised that he would be a good official.

"Where are the people?" Changsun Xin knew that the train could accommodate people.

"It depends on how many foreign merchants stop the ship. The price of foreign merchants' tickets is five times that of our Tang people."

Li Yi had never thought about foreign merchants before. He only thought that someone would bring some goods to sell or visit relatives. Those who traveled were definitely wealthy families.

Thinking again, do foreign merchants want to see Chang'an? Are they willing to visit Luoyang?

Foreign merchants have money, and consumption drives the local economy!

"It's not good for foreign merchants to charge high prices, right? After all, our Tang Dynasty is also a great country."

Wang Wei was afraid that outsiders would say that the Tang Dynasty was not a country of etiquette, so it was okay to treat everyone equally.

"Mo Jie and I thought the same thing, so I specially arranged a carriage with silk cushions inside, free meals and drinks.

We give the best service to foreign merchants, and our own people sit on ordinary chairs. Foreign merchants spend five times more money, but enjoy ten times the service!"

Li Yi followed Wang Wei's words and said, look, how to talk about Li Yi.

Chang Sun Xin blinked hard, remember, I learned another skill of deceiving people, no, etiquette.

Sure enough, following Li Yi, I feel fulfilled.

If I hadn't confronted Li Yi two years earlier, how big would my family business be now?

The key is that every time I want to cheat Li Yi, I suffer.

Meng Haoran looked at Li Yi with that kind of eyes: "Our Tang Dynasty has Gangrou sitting in, stable!"

He has no psychological burden to cheat outsiders. How much money can foreign merchants make by buying and selling a ship of goods?

"So, how to attract foreign merchants to Lantian County is the task of Lantian County officials.

We must have characteristics. We should be better than others and have what others don't have.

For example, there is jade in Lantian. Jade, can you fake it? Can you say that jade with flaws is good jade?"

Li Yi looked around, and everyone shook their heads. How to do it? I haven't learned it.

"Uh~~ I have some methods, which require other materials. Some want to make it old, which takes time.

For example, I use two months and take measures to make an ancient jade that looks like a thousand years ago.

There are also jades that are not crystal clear enough. I can add red blood-like textures to it and turn it into blood jade.

The jade with a bad fat base looks oily and slippery after treatment."

Li Yi gave a few examples of jade to expand everyone's thinking.

Chang Sunxin grabbed Li Yi's hand: "Master Li, brother, uncle, although the student is dull, he has a kind and filial heart, not as good as you, Master..."

"Wrong, wrong, you belong to the elders." Li Yi pulled his hand out.

"Can the elders order you?" Chang Sunxin asked expectantly.

"What do you think? I said that handling jade is an example." Li Yi wiped his hands and wanted to find water to wash them.

"Yes, I want to learn from this example. Other things are not my turn to worry about. I am the inspector."

Chang Sunxin still looked at Li Yi steadily. He dared to swear that he really wanted to learn to make fake jade from his master.

Oh my God, Li Yi hid it so well that he actually had such a method? If I could learn it...

Li Yi ignored Changsun Xin and said to Wang Wei and others: "I also have high-quality liquor, which is not stored in the cellar. It is nearly 80 degrees and can be used directly.

The same roast chicken is served to the table, poured with white wine and lit. It can be named Phoenix Bathing in Fire. As for whether it is a phoenix or a phoenix, it depends on whether it is a rooster or a hen. "

"Would it taste better if you light the wine and burn it?" Wang Wei clicked his lips.

"No, it's just that the price will be more expensive. The idea is to provide services to barbarian merchants according to this idea. We are a country of etiquette."

Li Yi emphasized the four people from the Kingdom of Etiquette.

Everyone suddenly felt disgusted with these four people, UU Reading www. uukanshu． Net sounds like a derogatory term.

Seeing a few people thinking, Li Yi spoke again: "After cutting the pulp from the poppy gourds, the gourds have been harvested. The Yi merchants have a strong taste for food, so boil them in soup, marinate some vegetables and so on."

"Delicious?" Wang Wei clicked his lips again.

"Try not to eat it. We will use other seasonings. If you eat too much, you will get addicted and it will be uncomfortable! Forget it, I will make it in the village. You are not allowed to touch it."

Li Yi was worried that they would eat the poppy gourd as a vegetable when they went back, but it was actually medicine.

"It's almost done. Let's go back after eating." Li Yi saw that there was nothing left and stood up.

Da Huahua had a good meal and was led forward by the little master and the big master. The little master wanted to go to Lijiazhuangzi.

When we arrived at the place, the cows were tied up in a small shed on the shore. Starting today, we started to have extra meals.

"Is this all here? We agreed that I would come for a few days and then go back." Li Yi understood when he saw the lineup outside.
