Chapter 670: Intensive Labor Capital Calls
"Xiao Yi, let me look at you with respect." Bi Gou had already decided to go back to the imperial city and tell Yao Chong that Yao Chong was the Minister of War.
"Thank you." Li Yi did not look happy after being praised.
"It is said that you are good at training soldiers?" Bi Gou mentioned something again.
"No, I can only train the Yulin Flying Cavalry." Li Yi shrugged and spread his hands.
Bi Gou: "..."
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After feeling that he could still hold on, he said: "The soldiers from all over the country rotate to Taibai Mountain, and logistics is a problem."
"What's the use of asking the logistics for logistics problems and telling me? Can I still catch up with them when they go to the border to fight? They have to practice by themselves."
Li Yi refused. He did not want the regular army to slack off after he took charge.
"I want you to teach them logistics." Bi Gou reorganized his words.
"Do you still need to learn logistics? Those who fight naturally know how to arrange logistics." Li Yi still refused.
"For example, the speed at which you make dumplings and string meat skewers in your manor, others can't learn it."
Bi Gou already knew how Li's manor operated.
"You said little tricks, this... When the army really comes to train, the manor will teach you what it has."
Li Yi agreed. There are many small tools in the manor.
For example, the clamps for lifting cans out of the pot, the grater for rubbing cucumber shreds, the stuffing machine, the small brush for scraping fish scales...
In the past, he had everything on the Internet. Although the tools are small, they are easy to use.
There are also foot-operated blowers, folding brackets, Luoyang shovels, multi-functional military shovels, folding buckets coated with glue...
It has been equipped for the logistics team of the army, of course, saving time.
For example, folding buckets are much more useful than water bags. They can hold a lot of water at a time and are light in weight.
"I should take them out to sell." Li Yi thought of the good things in the manor and found that they were not transformed into commodities.
"If you sell them, the Tubo people will learn them." Bi Gou wanted to stop him.
"Are you sure our army won't miss it during the war, Lao Bi? It's just right for people to use in their family life. It's easy for others to learn, but difficult to make."
Li Yi is not worried, some products need screws.
When seeing screws, the Tibetans will think they are cast, not made by a tapping machine.
"Wait for me to go back and ask." Bi Gou couldn't be sure of the situation, but he knew that he had to study what Li's manor wanted to sell.
It seems that Li Yi can always take out a military weapon, what if he accidentally sells it.
"Okay, Lao Bi, you ask slowly, I'll think about it, what else is there, and wait for the army to come and equip them."
Li Yi doesn't care, selling or not, it has no impact on the manor's finances.
Bi Gou is relieved, Li Yi promised that he would not sell secretly, this can be trusted.
He continued to watch the team of migrant workers set off, those people left the manor, their income would certainly decrease.
Li Yi can always find suitable jobs for them, and they are also diligent in learning.
Bi Gou thought that if migrant workers failed the imperial examinations after this year, they could still be clerks.
Especially, they could go to the village to teach children, write letters and read notices for the villagers.
Notices could be implemented in the village later, and more and more people would start to learn to read.
Bi Gou looked at it for a moment and said, "Xiao Yi, the men among the migrant workers go to the cement factory, and the women still need to find jobs?"
"There are jobs, making lattice windows. The ones we use now are straight lattice windows, which can also be turned into horizontal lattice windows. What I want to make is blinds."
Li Yi was well prepared. When one job was finished, he immediately arranged the next one.
These people always had income, and they now had household registration again.
They settled in Wannian and Chang'an counties of Jingzhao Prefecture and did not pay taxes.
They had no land, and when the yong and tiao were exempted, they did not have to pay a penny to the court.
However, they also contributed to the tax revenue of the Ministry of Households. They had to consume, and the foreign merchants had to pay taxes.
They worked for Li's manor, which had many large transactions and also paid taxes.
Li Yi was looking forward to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and Bi Gou was eyeing the blinds again.
"What are blinds? Luxury goods?" Bi Gou looked at Li Yi, hoping that Li Yi would say yes.
"No." Li Yi shook his head.
"Made of bamboo strips and hemp ropes, merchants buy in large quantities, plus taxes, 20% tax.
Common people buy in small quantities, my village is considered a shop, and I pay 30% tax.
The craftsmanship is simple and cannot be kept secret. Others can learn it once they learn it. It is a very interesting blind that can ventilate and block light."
Li Yi did not mention the problem of exposure at special angles. The windows we use now, without stickers, are still exposed?
The purpose of making blinds is to block the sun and let in air.
Now it is hot, and when the sun shines, you want to let in air, so you use blinds.
"Are there any real things?" Bi Gou felt a little regretful. It is not a luxury item, so it cannot be taxed high.
"Come with me." Li Yi took Bi Gou to the place where there were blinds, the cafeteria, which was just installed today.
The cafeteria windows have screens outside and blinds inside.
Pull it up, pull it up, the window leaves change, and it can keep the sun and wind in.
Bi Gou tried a few times, and ran outside to let Li Yi operate
"Xiao Yi, can you see outside through the blinds, but can't see inside from outside?" Bi Gou thought of something to keep secret.
"Yes, you can see it from a special angle. The function of the blinds for us is to block the sun and let in the wind."
Adjusting the blinds, Li Yi gave the answer.
"The holes on the bamboo are...drilled by a hand-cranked drill?"
Bi Gou is now more and more knowledgeable, and he knows about hand-cranked drills.
Li Yi did not answer this idiotic question, but said: "Take two sets when you leave, and go back to find someone to make it. If others are willing to learn something that cannot be kept secret, they can learn it."
"Okay, I'll find someone to make it, my family is rich."
Bi Gou didn't want more, he was indeed rich, and he sent people from Zhuangzi to wholesale red and blue lead every day.
Bi Gou left with the samples, without eating, but took a small jar of chili oil.
His family loved it, and he could eat a few bites occasionally, but he ate less when it was hot.
According to historical records, he and Li Dan are both dead.
Now he and the emperor are still living a comfortable life, and they can still come to Li Yi to give, get, and take benefits.
Li Yi sent Bi Gou across the bridge, and came back to fry a handful of braised skewers and bean curd skewers in cold noodle soup.
Find a cool place, watch the busy crowd at the Bashui Bridge, and drink a sip of rice wine from time to time.
"After this year, merchants who buy things from Lijiazhuangzi, as long as they are smart enough, will definitely find the advantages of labor-intensive industries.
The products produced are of the same quality and have lower prices and strong competitiveness.
When many people do not have to pay taxes, or even have no land and do not have to pay taxes, capital will recruit them to work.
The prosperity of a country must be linked to business.
From the beginning of barter, the status of trade is determined. The surplus is sold and exchanged for other things you need."
Li Yi drank and talked to himself. He would not be like Bi Gou who only cares about taxes.
What he wants to promote is the industrial chain. He does not need to deliberately raise the status of merchants, as long as merchants can trade normally.
Bi Gou, who left, did not know that the blinds in his hand were deliberately thrown out by Li Yi, and the price would be very low, so low that others would actually lose money if they made them themselves.
