Chapter 916: Wealth and Free Travel
Huang Xianrong showed a regretful look, he made less money, but he listened to Yang Huanjin.
"Brother Yang, you said 500,000 strings of cash, does Li Dongzhu want pickled mustard or Sichuan peppercorns? We need to prepare first when we go back."
Huang Xianrong planned to collect in advance when the season came, in case Li Yi suddenly wanted the goods and the purchase price there was high.
"Li Dongzhu is kind and righteous, and he cares about the Tang Dynasty and the people's livelihood.
I wanted to steal the craft of making pickled mustard, but it was spread that it was not easy for people in Shu, so I didn't make money from this technology."
Yang Huanjin praised Li Yi, Li Yi had thought of several ways to make money in Shu.
Later, he found it too troublesome, and he didn't have to sell pickled mustard to make money.
Just let the locals do it, and they can sell it to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.
"I see that people in Jingzhao Prefecture like to eat pickled mustard very much. Li Dongzhu helped to promote it, saying that it can be made into soup, pickled vegetables, and stir-fried. It is estimated that it is pickled mustard."
Huang Xianrong guessed that the name of pickled mustard was proposed by Li Yi, and the key lies in the word "zha".
Otherwise, it is called mustard in the local area. There are many varieties of mustard. One of the mustards in Shu is the most suitable for making pickled mustard.
Mustard, which was not very delicious, is now planted in Shu where no crops are grown.
Shu is not short of salt, and that kind of well salt tastes better than sea salt.
The pickled mustard is not bitter. People in Shu call it Dongzhu pickled mustard, without a surname.
Yang Huanjin was greedy when he heard about pickled mustard. When he arrived in Chang'an, he ate pickled mustard mixed with chopped green onions and pickled vegetables. If he was in a better condition, he would add some sesame seeds.
He swallowed his saliva: "This money is not used to transport things from Shu to Chang'an."
"If he doesn't transport it, he will give us money?" Huang Xianrong took out a handful of pine nuts and bit them directly with his teeth, snapping.
"If Dongzhu Li wants to buy something, he will send someone to Shu to send a message, saying what Li's manor wants.
Our people will immediately ship it and get the money when they arrive. Why should Dongzhu Li pay first?"
As the leader of the Shu salt gang, Yang Huanjin analyzed things more thoroughly.
He knew that Li Yi sent a message saying he wanted pickled mustard.
People without capital dared to find someone to get pickled mustard, saying they would send it to Li Yi in Chang'an and pay him back after getting the money.
And people who had pickled mustard but didn't want to run away would really sell it on credit to this person.
If Li's manor didn't have this credibility, how could the exchange coupons circulate in Shu?
Nowadays, Shu still talks about the previous battle against the Southwest Barbarians with relish, and has made up many stories.
People in Shu feel that they are all participants. There is a Li's manor by the Ba River in Jingzhao Prefecture, which took out money alone to win a war.
I helped here and sent the supplies to the front line at a speed slightly slower than the express.
It is said that more than 200,000 prisoners were captured and all sent to Li's manor, because Li's manor has money.
Yang Huanjin believes that when he goes back, if he hears such stories again, it may be 500,000 prisoners.
In fact, there are only more than 10,000 people, and the more they spread, the more they are.
"Master Li gave us money to buy things and hire people to deliver them when the front line is in a tight spot. This money is for the soldiers at the front."
Yang Huanjin took a few pine nuts from Huang Xianrong's hand, and took out a small pair of pliers from his pocket while talking, and cracked the pine nuts with a click.
Huang Xianrong touched his cheek: "Brother Yang, you have pliers, why didn't you take them out earlier? Watch me crack them with my teeth."
...
"Tomorrow, twenty of you will ride bicycles to sell newspapers. Remember to ring the bell and get familiar with it quickly."
In Lijiazhuangzi, Song De instructed the twenty newspaper boys who did not receive newspapers in the morning.
The twenty children were older, all boys.
Early in the morning, the other newspaper boys ran away after receiving the newspapers, leaving them waiting.
At this moment, they are learning to ride bicycles, which have crossbars.
Li Yi personally demonstrated that they can ride with their crotch out, that is, one leg steps from the bottom of the crossbar onto the pedals, which is suitable for children.
You can get on the bike from the front crossbar, lift your legs over the crossbar from the front and drop them onto the pedals, which is suitable for older children.
You can also lift your legs from the back, which is the way for adults.
The children who sell newspapers learn the third way, with a lower saddle, so that they can get on the bike with their legs crossed and their feet can reach the pedals.
When Li Yi was a child, he was not tall enough and his legs were not long enough, so he rode the 28-inch bicycle that adults rode, without digging his crotch.
When riding, he would move his body to one side of the bike and then to the other side of the bike, and every time he rode, his leg bend would hang on the crossbar.
Of course, he couldn't sit on the saddle, so he just pedaled back and forth on the crossbar.
When demonstrating, Li Yi also performed "high" difficult operations such as sticking to the bike on one side, getting up and down without touching the ground, riding backwards, not holding the handlebars with both hands, lifting the front wheel, and fixing the bike.
However, when he was asked to ride this bike and jump to a high place with the rear wheel, he couldn't jump up.
Even so, the people watching thought it was amazing, and the owner was awesome, knowing so many postures.
After the demonstration, Li Yi went back to class.
The children started to learn to ride with endless dreams, and it was easy to learn.
There was a Yu Lin Feiqi behind holding the back seat with his hands, and the child pedaled in front.
After running, the Yu Lin Feiqi would let go, and when the child pedaled, normal people would find that the handlebars were tilted to the left, which was very difficult to control.
For left-handed people, the handlebars tilted to the right.
They tried to adjust themselves, and the venue was large enough, so they would draw a big circle when they tilted.
The next problem was to balance the left and right deviations, which made the hands and arms very tired.
From not being able to learn to reaching this level, it took a quarter of an hour, and everyone's progress was the same, which was very fast.
After riding for another quarter of an hour, when you can master the left and right, the Yu Lin Feiqi will sit on the back seat,
The child led the Yu Lin flying cavalry forward. When they couldn't keep their balance, the Yu Lin flying cavalry used their feet to brake, straightened it and let the child ride, and then got on.
In half an hour, the twenty newspaper boys learned the basics from the initial contact to being able to lead people out and turn.
The rest was for them to practice on their own. As for the movements demonstrated by Li Yi, they could not learn them in a day or two.
They practiced until lunch at noon, and the children didn't feel tired.
After lunch, they were forced to take a bath, and then take a nap for an hour before they were allowed to touch the car again.
It was dark, the lights were lit, and the children had dinner and went to the square to ride again.
The next morning, the twenty children set off with newspapers under the envious gaze of other children.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Lijiazhuangzi has a new bicycle for transportation, which I ride. Anyone who has bought a kerosene lamp and a thermos is eligible to buy it."
'Dinglingling~~Dinglingling' "Selling newspapers, the first choice for rich people to travel, if you are qualified, buy it, one thousand strings of cash per bicycle, with lifetime warranty."
"People with poor balance can't ride a bicycle even if they buy it. Lijiazhuangzi is responsible for training. People who can ride a bicycle are stronger than others."
"One thousand strings of cash per bicycle, riding comfortably. If you own it, you will be respected in a different way."
The newspaper boy rode a bicycle from the east to the west of the city, saying that he was selling newspapers, but he didn't stop at all. They had to deliver the newspapers to the people who subscribed to newspapers in the west of the city first.
The people on the road got out of the way one after another, and felt helpless when they heard the price.
