Chapter 277 Get Serious and Seek the World
"Brother Yi, please estimate how much money you can make per year by digging a salt well over there?" Li Chengqi stopped Li Yi successfully and asked.
"How many salt ponds and salt wells do we have in Datang now?" Li Yi asked another question. He wanted to see how much salt they could provide.
"There are currently nine salt ponds and 276 salt wells." Li Chengqi provided data.
This is different from the information Li Yi read. It's less, much less.
But Li Yi understood as soon as he thought about it. After the Tang Dynasty began to collect salt taxes, it would inevitably increase the number of salt ponds and salt wells.
The data recorded is not the second year of Kaiyuan.
At this time, there was not that much, and Changan mainly relied on lake salt from Shanxi and sea salt transported by water.
The overland road in Shuyan is slow and difficult to travel. Generally, we take the Yangtze River and make a large circle.
From the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal, and from the Grand Canal to water transportation, the ship can carry a lot of goods, which is more cost-effective than land transportation.
"How safe are the people along the coast?" Li Yi asked another question.
"There hasn't been any war in recent years, so it's not a lot of use, so it's pretty good." Li Chengqi didn't know much about this.
"The cost of boiling the sea into salt is too high. With the impact of well salt in Shu, the price of salt will drop again and again. Your Majesty agrees to cooperate, but the officials in the court may have resentments."
After Li Yi determined the matter, he began to advance further.
Li Chengqi listened and nodded from time to time without saying anything, 'Do they dare? ’ ‘If you don’t obey, you will be killed’ and so on.
"So there is a salt tax, a salt tax on pool salt and new well salt. Your Majesty's money is private money, and the salt tax is public money.
My brother thinks that the new method of digging wells can make a lot of money, but there is too much salt produced in Shu, and it is difficult to survive in the coastal salt fields.
The tax on salt mining under the new law in Shu will be levied, and the price of salt will be stable, which is beneficial to the country, can widen the internal reserves, and can also quell the complaints of hundreds of officials. "
Li Yi became serious and told the situation.
By cooperating with Li Longji, it was Li Longji and several brothers who made money, including himself.
If too many wells are drilled, salt will be produced too quickly. What will happen to the people who specialize in cooking salt at the beach? Should I use my salt-drying skills now?
We haven't reached that point yet, we just have to push forward steadily.
Data shows that coastal areas are never very stable.
Li Longji made money, and all the officials looked at it, this money... Oh my God! There is no money in the national treasury, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?
Collect taxes, and the collected taxes are given to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and other places will take care of the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for money, and everyone is happy.
Li Chengqi was confused, or rather dumbfounded.
Can you still play like this? Isn’t the salt tax just a commercial tax? When commercial taxes are promoted with great fanfare, officials will inevitably refuse to agree for the sake of their own interests.
But salt is so profitable, the court has no money, and officials want money. Tax collection is normal. Officials need support. You can't ask your Majesty to take all the money.
"Brother Yi, are you...serious?" Li Chengqi felt that he had to look at his brother Yi again.
Brother Yi was so gentle before, always throwing away his skills.
When someone comes to bully someone, they just respond in kind and never kill them all.
If anyone asks him if he has any good ideas, he promises to tell them without expecting anything in return.
The only most powerful move was to teach Pei Yaoqing to write the Wanmin Biao, and put Zhong Shaojing, the Minister of Household Affairs, on the wall.
That was the most ruthless time, dealing directly with the minister.
As for the businessman's business, it's just a small matter.
If I have to talk about another one, it is the study of official studies versus ethnic studies. This is still in the slowly developing stage. There is only one new book and other books are being compiled by others.
The matter of salt is definitely not simple.
Major events in the world will follow.
Li Yi calmly said: "If you don't try hard, how long will you wait? The opportunity just came. Wei Shangshu didn't come to ask, I can't remember it yet."
"Too fast." Li Chengqi said and took a sip of wine.
"Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day. Kaiyuan must be a prosperous age, and it must be a real prosperous age." Li Yi copied one sentence first.
"Okay, Kaiyuan prosperous age." Li Chengqi was extremely supportive of this.
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl, opened his mouth wide... paused, and took a small sip. Don't drink too much.
On an empty stomach in the morning, I can’t stand the rice wine even after drinking this bowl!
"Brother, this is just this bowl. Don't drink too much. I will talk to you later." Li Yi advised first.
When he used to drink, others would advise others to drink more, and he would tell others to drink less and to control themselves and not drink too much.
Sometimes when I invite someone to dinner, the person doesn't drink enough and is unhappy, but in other respects he gives a lot, so the person forgives me.
As time went by, we always drank together. Those who were unhappy before became very happy and found that drinking with Li Yi was at ease.
Even those who have a daughter-in-law at home don't look down on their face when they hear that their husband is drinking with Li Yi.
If he meets someone who drinks a lot, Li Yi will drink with him but won't eat the food.
Drink some white wine, go to the toilet, get a bottle of water from the bar, drink it, and spit it out, so that the stomach acid is diluted and your throat and esophagus are not burned.
Go back and continue to accompany the other person until he is done drinking, then persuade him to stop.
It doesn't work anymore when eating. The body reacts and discovers that food has entered the stomach, so it vigorously secretes bile and gastric acid, which makes it uncomfortable to vomit.
This is a habit that Li Yi has developed. He doesn't make others drink too much, and he doesn't let himself drink too much.
I was not sure when I had a drink with Li Longji before, because I was still not used to my young body.
Now that Li Yi is familiar with the body, he drinks slowly with his elder brother and talks about how to make a lot of money, develop and help people in the future.
"Brother Yi, others always like to drink together, why are you not so good?" Li Chengqi took a bite of garlic cucumber and asked about things in life.
"It's meaningless. You can easily get into trouble when you're drunk. If you get into an accident, you have to go to the hospital. If you go to the hospital, you'll have to trouble the doctor.
If you drink too much and fall in front of me, I will also inject you with metadoxine, omeprazole, and naloxone, and at the same time assist in inducing vomiting. How tiring it is. "
Li Yi reasoned with his eldest brother. He was studying medicine. What he was most afraid of when he was a resident doctor was meeting someone who drank too much when he was on duty at night.
A group of people drank a lot, and one of them fell asleep after drinking and couldn't stand it anymore.
How to give medical advice? Who should I ask to sign? Will those who drink too much cause trouble during the rescue process?
Without saying a word, what should I do if someone over there takes out a knife?
"So, drinking with Brother Yi is reassuring." Li Chengqi also discovered the same thing.
He then winked and lowered his voice: "Brother Yi, don't you like any of those people?"
Li Yi felt that his eldest brother had drunk too much, even if he only had a few sips.
"Brother, they are partners. Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests." Li Yi found a reason.
"Then when they go back, what good music or poems will you give them?" Li Chengqi asked again.
"Is it okay to give him a gift?" Li Yi couldn't figure out who and what to copy, so he thought it would be better to continue cooperation.
"It's not possible to send salt, not just a bag, but several bags." Li Chengqi waved his hand.
"Brother is right. Brother, try this braised foie gras. It's big and has a punctured taste." Li Yi did not explain.
"Brother Yi talked about braised food. I made it according to the seasoning you gave me. After braised a few chickens, why does it taste different from your Zhuangzi? It's fishy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "
Li Chengqi always had problems and didn't understand. When he asked the scholar before, the scholar told him not to think about such useless things.
When you come to Yi Di's place, there is no such thing as useful or useless, it only matters whether you ask or not.
"The pot is small and has no pressure. Unless you make it a dry pot, otherwise... Brother, you won't just put it in and cook it, right? That needs to be drained of blood first.
One is to reheat, that is, put it in cold water to heat it, boil the foam, and then marinate it.
The other is to cool it, soak it in cold water until all the blood is soaked out, and then cook it in marinade. "
Li Yi felt a little guilty. Didn't he tell his elder brother all the steps?
"So that's it. I'll deal with them when I get back. They must be trying to save trouble." Li Chengqi discovered the situation.
"Eldest brother told them?" Li Yi asked.
"As I said, I specifically asked the people in your Zhuangzi kitchen. It was just like what you said. I told the cooks when I got back. They promised well, but in the end..."
Li Chengqi gritted his teeth.
Li Yi responded with silence. He didn't want to intercede with anyone. If you didn't follow the steps I told you when cooking, you were just being clever.
Are you trying to be smart about safety regulations when working in the workshop? You are the best.
When he went to repair his previous car when it was not working and was having trouble repairing it, he encountered one.
My chest was covered with burned muscle nodules, making it difficult to breathe. I would cough when talking. In the summer, my chest couldn’t sweat, so I always wiped my chest with water.
The car repairman told me that no open flames were allowed near the oil, let alone smoking.
The man felt that even if the cigarette butt was thrown into the tank of gasoline, it might not burn.
So the waste diesel oil that was extracted was flowing beside him. He smoked and threw a cigarette butt down. Boom~~
