Chapter 2782 The Economic Foundation Is at the Source

"It's not easy to do business without an economic foundation."

Princess Yongmu was worried on a pyramid, and Xiaolan beside her sighed.

The pyramid belonged to them, and they opened the Wentianlan Fragrance Pavilion.

Tian Shang Ren Jian and Zuixianju were not opened, mainly to find something for them to do, Li Yi didn't want them to become housewives.

The things in the Wentianlan Fragrance Pavilion were good, including goods that enhance the happiness of men and women.

The nobles and priests always wanted to exchange them with jade, but the two refused. What do you want to do with this broken thing?

They just accepted Tang Dynasty banknotes, or gold and silver, and refused obsidian, which could be mined at will.

The nobles couldn't give out good things, so they sold their slaves and hired people to do the work.

They saved money, sold some things that Tang Dynasty wanted, got banknotes, and bought them when they saved enough.

Now the time is short, and they haven't saved enough. There are too many good things they like, and they want to buy a few beautiful clothes at a time because there are discounts and gifts.

"Let's cook some food tonight, and we'll find Li Lang to eat tonight, and tell stories by the way."

Princess Yongmu thought of something. She and Xiaolan had just finished what they did, and when she was thinking about it, she asked how to run the business.

They didn't go back there, Li Yi came over in the evening, and told stories after a break.

The next morning when they got up to eat, Princess Yongmu and the others remembered to ask what to do if the business was not good.

Li Yi originally found a fun thing for them to run the business casually, but found that the goods were not selling well.

Fortunately, the pyramid does not pay rent, and the employees' wages are supported by the Tang Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion industry.

Otherwise, they would go bankrupt, and the labor cost is too much.

Li Yi heard the question and yawned first. He was exhausted yesterday, and got up early in the morning to drink mutton soup and eat stir-fried mutton with green onions to replenish himself.

"Without an economic foundation, there will be no currency circulation. Businesses must be based on the times and the place.

Others sell you obsidian and jadeite, why don't you take them? Because there are better jadeite, obsidian is formed by volcanoes, there are a lot of them locally, and they are used as tools and weapons.

These are things that local people use to exchange with each other, including pottery.

They have gold and silver ores, and they can also smelt them. When they are firing pottery, they put them in, and occasionally the furnace temperature rises, and they are fired out.

We collect them, give them paper money, and then sell the things we collect, and process the things that can be processed..."

Li Yi said while eating, let's put the paper money out first, and the other party will circulate it by themselves. When the time comes, sell a piece of clothing from Wen Tianlanxiang Pavilion, and collect a lot of money.

We won't suffer a loss, the profit of Wen Tianlanxiang Pavilion's things is too high.

Princess Yongmu peeled a tea egg for Li Yi, eat more, and supplement protein: "Let's open a grocery store? From high-end to low-end?"

"You said, you can't peel it anymore, I'll eat four."

Li Yi looked at Xiaolan, stopping the other party from peeling eggs, why did you give me so many eggs?

"Send someone to open it." Xiaolan put down the eggs: "We are responsible for putting the money out, and they don't collect taxes."

"That's right!" Princess Yongmu thought: "It's not convenient for them to set prices when exchanging with each other, so we set prices."

The two of them got together and discussed how to open a grocery store without caring about Li Yi.

When Li Yi finished his meal and was about to leave, the two stopped discussing and shouted to Li Yi together: "Li Lang will come again in the evening!"

Li Yi's steps were slightly disordered, and he took a deep breath: "Okay, I promise to come, are you afraid of you?"

Two days later, it rained again, and the priests said that this was the last one, and it was time to enter a time when there was little rain.

At the same time, under Princess Yongmu's pyramid, a two-story grocery store built with dry wood was opened, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The first floor was 240 square meters, and the second floor was the same as the first floor. Local temporarily unemployed people were found to transport wood, and craftsmen, Yulin flying cavalry, and navy built it.

In a day and a half, the 480-square-meter building was built.

The farmers of Lijiazhuangzi came in, each with a female guard, who was responsible for learning.

They helped sell things in Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion, with clear prices, which made it easy to operate.

Now they are not good at collecting things and re-pricing.

The farmers are familiar with it, and the price stability in Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty is their credit.

The farmers have the right to set standards and set prices, and all merchants abide by them, otherwise they will be impacted.

When the grocery store opened, the people were curious, what was it for? Standing at the door and wandering.

"Exchange things, exchange things here." The farmer shouted at the door.

The locals understood and went in to take a look first. Oh! What is such a big transparent thing? It's really bright.

"What is going to be built next to it?" Someone asked the farmer.

"It's the same as this one, and it will be connected at the end. Paint it first after it is built there, including the cabinets. When the paint is ready, move over and paint this side."

The farmer replied that wooden products cannot be used without paint, and you have to wait for a while after painting before you can use them.

The princess is in a hurry now, otherwise how can a two-story house with cabinets be built in a day and a half?

There is no other house in the world, and the camp is not set up like this when marching and fighting.

There are some things in the grocery store, soap, matches, dried shellfish, dried seaweed, stewed food, refined salt, leather sandals, woven sun hats, metal buckle belts, seasonal fruits, ceramic utensils, dried fruits, maltose, bamboo bowls...

There are signs in front of these things, which use Mayan characters to introduce what they are used for and how much they cost.

Many Mayans can't read and can't read.

After asking, I know it's the price, but there is no money! How to get the money?

You give money to the children to make straw sandals, and they can exchange for things. Do you want straw sandals?

The farmer said that the children's work was a subsidy from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty valued children the most. The straw sandals were worthless, and they were given to you for free.

You can bring the things you don't need to sell, and we will give you money, and you can buy things.

"Oh! I said it! No one is that stupid."

Maya said she understood, who would buy straw sandals and give them away for free?

So in the afternoon, many people brought their own things. They were civilians, and slaves had not saved anything.

They would never sell food, and keep it for themselves. Generally, it was stones, flint, obsidian, animal bones, beautiful bird feathers, cocoa...

Some people even brought the cut wood, and they used it for burning.

Originally, there were no axes and saws, so they had to process it bit by bit. The thick ones were more troublesome, and the best ones were branches. They brought them to ask the grocery store if they would accept them?

The people who helped carry the wood before had money, so they went around the grocery store to see what they needed.

In order to open up the market, the farmers promised to buy the firewood. At worst, they would use the firewood themselves. The loss of money could be recovered by selling a product of Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion.

The fur of wild animals, which was not handled cleanly and was old, was also exchanged for money.

The farmers looked at each one, considered the current situation, and gave a price.

The other party did not know whether the price was high or low. Anyway, they would exchange it first if they could make money. There was no use keeping it at home.

The farmers gave a high price for the newly caught live pheasants.

Even the wild vegetables dug by the farmers were also accepted.
