Wei Yunqi saw Li Chao going to change clothes, so he also followed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Chao stood in front of the urinal, and Wei Yunqi took the initiative to help Li Chao hold his robe. "This toilet in Lao Linggong's castle is also very peculiar, it can accommodate ten people at a time, especially this urinal, hanging on the wall, is actually ceramic, it's really extravagant."

Pottery is still very valuable in this era, and most people only use pottery, and they can't afford to use ceramics, but in Li Chao's father's castle, he actually uses ceramics to make urinals in the toilet.

"Actually, this is not valuable, you know that our Li family's Jingdezhen ceramics are quite famous. When the castle was being repaired, some people were called to come and build a brick cellar, and later a ceramic cellar was repaired by the way, and a batch of this ceramic urinal was also made by the way. ”

For the Li family, ceramics are nothing but soil.

But even Wei Yunqi, who was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhao, did not dare to treat ceramics as soil.

After urinating and shaking it a few times, Li Chao tidied up his clothes and went to the side to wash his hands. Wei Yunqi released the water by himself, and he was much happier after releasing the water.

Next to it is the sink.

There is also a soap dish by the pool with soap inside. The pool has running water, and when you turn on the faucet, the water flows out naturally.

Feeling this incomparable convenience, Wei Yunqi was amazed, Webster's thousand-year-old family, the toilets at home are not so luxurious, look at the Li family's toilet.

The urinal is ceramic, and then there are ten more positions in it, all of which are screen partitions, and there are toilets in it, all of which are ceramic, and their toilets and urinals are still flushed.

When it is used up, press it and it will automatically flush without leaving any filth.

There was incense burning in the toilet all the time, and I couldn't smell the slightest smell.

There are towels and soap at the sink, as well as natural water, and a large bronze mirror hanging on the wall.

Ba Shang Li, the head of the eight nobles, is indeed a white horse made of gold for the hall, and the pearl is like earth and gold like iron.

A castle with a circumference of three miles took only half a year to build.

The architectural style of this castle is very different from the traditional one, and there is a sense of grandeur everywhere, and it is solid.

How much does it cost to build such a castle?

But thinking about Ba Shang Li's wealth, it's nothing. Anyway, the Li family will spend money, and they will make money, and the mutual market agreement negotiated with Xi and Khitan at the banquet today, the commerce and trade of the Shangluo County Lordship will definitely be very prosperous in the future, with Li Ji's ability, what kind of goods can not be organized and transported? What kind of goods can't they eat?

Li Chao even said just now that Li Ji wants to build a slaughterhouse, a milk powder factory, a jerky factory, a meat canning factory, a tannery, a woolen factory, a medicinal herb factory, and so on.

As soon as these workshops are built, they will definitely be rich by then.

Wei Yunqi plans to pay for two shares here, or build his own shop, set up a workshop or something. Anyway, following in Li Chao's footsteps, he will definitely not lose money.

However, what he is most concerned about now is not this matter of making money, making money, you can make it at any time, it is not a top priority.

"Xiangye, we only sent 20,000 troops, but Xi Qi sent 60,000 troops, will there be something wrong?" Wei Yunqi put soap on his hands, and he was rubbing his hands full of bubbles.

The soap has a nice fragrance, and as the bubbles continue to rub up, the hands become cleaner and cleaner.

"Afraid of what? After we showed our military might today, the Khitan and Xi people no longer have fighting spirit, and they are in the gap between the great powers to survive, and they can only choose one side to rely on. In the current situation of the Turks, do you think they will continue to be loyal to the Turks? Attaching ourselves to us is their only option. Not to mention the power of firearms that we are demonstrating today, even if they don't, they don't dare to do nonsense. ”

Besides, we didn't have a trade deal with them just now.

Dependent on Datang, reconciled from now on, and opened up border markets for mutual trade, which is beneficial to both sides. And Li Chao also gave dividends to these two chiefs, where to find such a good thing.

Li Chao also promised them, as long as they sent troops to assist this time to help the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Valley of Desire and seize Monan, then Li Chao would ask the court and the emperor to confer the title of two people as the dukes of the country.

Later, Xi and Khitan became the subject countries of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Dongnu Kingdom.

Back to the ballroom.

Li Chao and Su Zhi's conversation became more and more relaxed and pleasant, and Li Chao took the initiative to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Xi and Khitan ethnic groups.

Not only did he simply buy their livestock, fur, and dairy products, Li Chao was also ready to pay money to directly establish pastures in their territory, select some high-quality livestock to buy, and then hand them over to them to raise on their behalf, and then transport them to the Central Plains after they were raised.

Then there are the direct establishment of fur processing factories in their territory, the establishment of slaughterhouses, the production of dried meat floss, and the direct establishment of milk powder factories.

In short, it is to increase their supply, reduce the cost of transportation, and even mine within their borders, etc.

In-depth cooperation, win-win and mutual benefit.

The Li family is more profitable, these chiefs are also more profitable, and Su Zhi and Duluo, as the big chiefs, can also take another cut from it.

"Here, for our cooperation, cheers!" Li Chao raised his glass.

Su Zhi, Duluo and other chiefs also raised their glasses, "Dry." ”

The prospect depicted by Li Chao is so wonderful, there is no war, only a good life.

In the future, their cattle, sheep, livestock, etc. will greatly increase in value, and many people do not understand the value, but when it comes to being more valuable, they all understand.

Li Chao told them that in the future, their cattle and sheep would be more valuable, and the Central Plains goods they bought would be cheaper.

They don't need to rob at all, they can make a lot of money by selling their hides and livestock every year with their cattle and sheep, and if they add the furs they get from hunting wild animals, they can make a lot more. If you add the sale of herbs, etc., you can make another profit.

With these, they can exchange everything from the Han people.

Tea leaves, salt, cloth, and even iron pots, knives, ropes, wooden bowls, and so on. Cattle and sheep for carriages, wool for cloth and silk・・・・・

As long as they can graze with peace of mind, hunt occasionally, and then sell their cattle and sheep and furs, they can get more goods back for them.

Life will be rich and life will be easy.

In the future, you don't have to be afraid of the white plague, no matter how big it is. Because in winter, they don't need to keep a lot of sheep, leave the hens and cubs, and the rest of the old and weak males can almost be slaughtered in advance, or sold directly to the Han merchants.

Then they will have enough hay to survive the winter.

They will have enough tea leaves, no worries about getting sick from eating meat, good salt, and even honey roasted meat, and warm and comfortable clothes.

It was truly a life to live for.

Of course, under Li Chao's cooperation model, those big chiefs and small chiefs can also get more shares, and this model is very beneficial to each of them.

What reason is there to oppose it?

In many cases, nomadic tribes raid other tribes, but in fact, more often because they themselves have suffered disasters and have insufficient ability to bear them, so they can only divert disasters by raiding other tribes.

Su Zhi secretly calculated the account, anyway, whether the clansmen of the Xi tribe went south to this territory to trade, or the Han people went to them to invest and cooperate, he could get a share of each business, and the more this business, the more he would share.

This is actually a pyramid form, a bit similar to direct-selling, Su Zhi is at the highest point of his team, everyone earns a share, he has to share, the more downline, the more he earns.

Of course, he wished there were more of them.

And compared with the days under the Turks in the past, it is very large.

Under the Turks, there is no such thing as a division of the Turks, the Turks directly send tax collectors, collect taxes regularly, and increase taxes in case of disasters or wars.

It doesn't matter if you live or die.

Therefore, comparing the two with each other, Li Chao's model, Su Zhi really likes it from the bottom of his heart.

With the Turks, he had to collect taxes from his tribe on behalf of the Turks, and bear the burden of complaining and infamy, but now, the tribesmen can get full benefits from the trade with the Tang, and he can still take a share of it. Especially the share he earned, he didn't collect it directly from the clansmen, but Li Chao gave him another share of the money he earned.

Not only to take benefits, but also not to be infamy, and even to be praised by the tribe, where to find such a good thing, if you don't agree, there will be ghosts.

Everyone was very happy to drink this meal, and Su Zhi and Du Luo were both very drunk. They are happy, and no one can stop them.

asked them to be carried back to rest, Li Chao wiped his face, and he was a little drunk.

Dad also blushed, "Let's exchange markets with them, the court won't object, right?" ”

"Why opposition? Anyway, no matter how much money we make in our territory, we still have to pay taxes according to the law, and in the end, one-third of this tax law has to be handed over to the imperial court. The more we earned, the happier the court became. If everyone just cultivates a few acres of land and doesn't give out some industry and commerce, how many taxes can the imperial court collect a year? ”

Daddy thinks about it too.

If you don't make money in the border market, you can't even pay off the cost of the territory castle just by recruiting people to reclaim the land and collect that little bit of land.

Wei Yunqi came to Li Chao again at night, decided to take Li Chao a ride, and also invested money in.

"What do you want to do?" Li Chao asked.

Li Chao didn't think it was strange that Wei Yunqi wanted to make money, and the Tang people were not afraid to talk about money. From the nobles to the farmers, they are all very indifferent to this.

"I don't understand this, I have 20,000 yuan in my hand, it turns out that it is also stored in Li Ji Qianzhuang, this time I plan to take it out to Li Xiang, it doesn't matter what business I do, anyway, I know that I will not lose money if I follow Li Xiang."

It's a simple solution.

Wei Yunqi recognizes people but not things, which is also easy to do.

"It's okay, when you invest your money, I'll choose a few good projects and give you a share, what do you think?"

"No problem, I'll just sit and wait for the dividends." Wei Yunqi laughed. For this specific, he is still relatively lazy to meddle.

"Xiangguo, when are we going to send troops?"

Li Chao thought about it, it is now mid-May, and the weather is just starting to get hot, not too hot. This is also a good time to send troops, and in a few days, the weather will be hot, and it will not be suitable to send troops.

Generally speaking, it is good to send troops in autumn, and now that the troops are dispatched, the horses are still a little thin, but now this time is just right, and they can't wait for the Tongye Protector to come back from the Western Regions.

"Prepare, in three days."

"You send someone to inform Wei Chi Gong and Li Ji, we can't be completely unprepared for Xi and Qi, let Li Ji and Wei Chi Gong get ready, Chen Bing border, first, to contain part of the troops set up by Desire, and second, you can also send troops north to support us at any time. Of course, hopefully they won't be needed. ”
