Chapter 139: The World Seeks Profit and Keeps Good (Part 2)
"When I came to Brother Yi's Zhuangzi, I didn't want to go back, and I always felt that this was the place I governed." Pei Yaoqing hurriedly changed the topic.
Fan Ai was slightly stunned and agreed: "Exactly." ”
Li Yi looked at the two of them and shook his head.
He knew what the two meant, but he understood that even if he went to govern a county, he would not be able to be the current Zhuangzi.
"Brother Pei, Fan Shaofu, give more people a job to do, and reward more people who can improve their property, and the place they govern will gradually get better."
Li Yi can only say so at the moment.
After the meal, the two admired Zhuangzi's windmill and the new ice-making method, and walked away with a physical ice drill machine and non-slip shoes.
"Get it back for me after the mold is poured." When Li Yi was sent outside Zhuangzi, he didn't forget to remind the ice drill machine that it was not a gift.
The carriage and the team did not respond, I don't know if it was an illusion, Li Yi felt that after he finished shouting, the speed of the car seemed to be faster.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi!" Li Yi walked back, and without waiting for the courtyard, Wang Xing, the supervisor of Huangzhuang, came over.
Seeing him, Li Yi asked directly: "Brother Wang, but you want to enjoy the ice lanterns in Huangzhuang?" ”
"No, the Huangzhuang has put an ice lantern, Your Majesty will not come, and outsiders will not be able to enter. I'm looking for you to buy ice, stock up on ice. ”
Wang Xing said and blinked mysteriously.
"Not fishing from the river?" Li Yi asked.
"The ice in the river is not as good as the ice of the well water, not to mention the ice chiseled out of the river, how much ice is out and how much money is produced, the entry and exit are not big, buy well ice, it is a piece of ten yuan, and a piece of a hundred yuan is also it."
Wang Xing gestured with his hands and said the reason.
Li Yi understood, just like the industry he had been exposed to before.
To treat rhinitis, prescribe rhinitis to the patient, and the patient will go to the pharmacy to buy it by himself, and the price will not fluctuate much.
If it is for Chuanxiong tea, the patient goes to the pharmacy outside to ask, no, so he has to spend money to buy it at the place of inspection, and the price is ......
And Wang Xing's operation is more perfect, and the things he produces from Zhuangzi have always been good.
The well is pressed with a windmill, the ice is frozen in a special box, the ice is de-iced in the de-icing pool, and it is loaded directly into the ice cellar.
Just this set, is it high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade?
There are all kinds of messes in the river, there is no shortage of feces and urine, and the well is so clean.
"Okay, Brother Wang, how much do you buy?" Li Yi asked.
"How much does it cost?" Wang Xing asked.
Li Yi stretched out five fingers and said, "Ten sides." ”
Wang Xing listened to Li Yi's numbers and hand comparisons, and instantly understood, he rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "This, this Brother Yi, is it too much?" ”
"Not much, after all, Brother Wang has to take care of many people." Li Yi shook his head with a smile.
He knew that Wang Xing was asking if Wang Xing was taking half of it too much, not that it was too expensive.
Wang Xing took the money, and he had to share the benefits with the people in the Huangzhuang and seal his mouth.
Wang Xing swallowed his saliva and said: "The fungus and monkey head planted in Zhuangzi have been getting fewer and fewer recently, for some reason, take some for my brother and give them to Brother Yi to see, and help find out what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, the last time General Gao came, he said that the taste was bad, so I used Brother Wang's Huangzhuang to call General Gao to taste it." Li Yi looked like he was doing business.
Wang Xing felt that he was taking a lot of money, so he wanted to artificially reduce the production of fungus and lion's mane mushrooms in Huangzhuang.
At the beginning, half of it was given to Li Yi, and the other half was handed over to Huangzhuang, but this time it was more to Li Yi.
Li Yi told Wang Xing that I will help you find a way out, over there Yang Siqiao wants to clean you up, we still have Gao Lishi, I will see Shang take your things and pay tribute.
As a result, Wang Xing went back happily, and the two had to go through the process.
Li Yi muttered: "Everyone in the world wants to profit, I have Zhuangzi, and they listen to me, especially migrant workers, who are in a difficult time."
When their lives are better, they naturally want to pursue more things, which is the driving force of social development.
When an official governs a place, it is the most difficult to balance these interests, and a bowl of water does not mean that it can be leveled. ”
After speaking, he returned to the courtyard, picked up the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which was divided into ten volumes, and looked at it a few times.
He also said to himself: "But no matter how to pursue personal interests, people's hearts should always be good, and the ancients wrote works that benefited the people, but they couldn't make money." ”
Li Yi weighed the weight of the book with his hands, and he didn't know how heavy this "Compendium of Materia Medica" weighed for a while.
I can't think of what to put on one end of the scale and what to use as a weight at the other end.
Turning around, he went into the dissection room and continued his studies.
Pei Yaoqing and Fan Ai, who hurried back to the Yamen, were early in another county that had just returned from investment.
The three of them muttered and unanimously decided not to find the young superintendent or tell the Ministry of Industry.
Take the money to make things yourself, find craftsmen, so that the merit belongs to the ...... It belongs to Li Yi.
However, the political achievements will be accounted for by the three of them, and Li Yi is not an official.
There is money, and there is a lot of investment, and the small treasury is wow! You can say it yourself, don't ask for the household.
The county government began to recruit a large number of craftsmen, and when the craftsmen who were eliminated at the beginning were depressed, they received a notice that you had been re-recorded and were ready to work and get paid.
When it was not dark, a large number of non-slip shoes were made and distributed.
The person who chiseled the ice replaced it, and said it was good when it was used.
"Buy two pigs and kill them, and eat pig-killing vegetables in the county tomorrow?" Pei Yaoqing, who was praised by the people, asked the two counties.
"It's a pity there is no garlic sauce." Fan Ai looked at Pei Yaoqing and whispered.
"Garlic sauce." Du Yin licked his lips with a yearning look.
When it comes to the month of Layue, there are many pigs killed, and there are naturally as many pig-killing dishes.
Sauerkraut and slices of large white meat are stewed together, and there is nothing more enjoyable than eating them with garlic sauce.
But that garlic is easy to buy, soy sauce ......
"If you want to speak, you will be elected as a person in the palace." Fan Ai said to Pei Yaoqing.
Pei Yaoqing said helplessly: "I can't buy fifty-five pounds of soy sauce either." ”
"I see that proprietor Li has a lot of friendship for the Ming Mansion."
Fan Ai persuaded, you see that you go there and take a bite of Brother Yi and Brother Pei, and get some soy sauce.
"That's it, you can't ask for it." Pei Yaoqing refused.
"Alas~~" Fan Ai sighed with Du Yin.
***
"Alas!" Early in the morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, Li Chengqi ran to Zhuangzi to find Li Yi, and sighed before eating.
Li Yi cooperated: "What is the eldest brother worried about? ”
"The stadium won't be used this year, so you might as well keep the grass to feed the livestock."
Li Chengqi used chopsticks to press the fritters into the goat's milk one by one.
"But because of the underfloor heating?" Li Yi pondered that the most difficult part is that the floor heating is not easy to control in winter, and the grass is transplanted, which is easy to freeze to death or scald.
Li Chengqi shook his head: "I didn't bring much advertising money." The rich all say that they spend it on ice lanterns. ”
Li Yi understood: "It turned out that I couldn't see the prospect and didn't know the advertising role of football matches. ”
"Yes, Brother Yi is right, I can't force them to pay yet." Speaking of this, Li Chengqi was in a bad mood.
He wants to benefit the people, if he asks for it as the king of Song, once or twice, others will be afraid and will give money, and then he will be resentful in his heart.
"Big brother, don't worry, it's easy to do, kick first, you send an advertisement for free, send a game, see whose business is worth giving favors, who you give."
After playing a game, many people went over to buy it, and if the deal was good, others would naturally be willing to pay. ”
Li Yi thought it was a big deal, the eldest brother wanted to earn advertising fees when he came up, and a free trial was all wooden.
"Listen to Brother Yi, hurry up and prepare the grass, and I'll call someone to fetch it." Li Chengqi was relieved.
