Chapter 153: Uniting in a Trade War (Part 5)
Li Yi didn't need to look at it to know that these skins were the best, and they were specially kept for himself.
"Thank you Shopkeeper Yu, go in and have a hot soup." Li Yi invited.
The other people who came with Yu Huaide were naturally in charge of Song De.
It is said to be drinking soup, but in fact, it is eating together.
Li Yi said to Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao, and took his dinner plate to another place.
Yu Huaide was not suitable for contact with the great eunuchs in the palace.
The two sat down, Yu Huaide looked at the vegetables he had just filled in a daze, and looked up at Li Yi.
"Li Dongzhu, have you really planted this? Is that the shed made of silk silk? Yu Huaide did not see food, but business opportunities.
"Does the owner want to plant next year? This year, in fact, it is okay, some fast-growing vegetables can be planted before the end of spring, in January and February, and the price is also good. β
Li Yi looked at Yu Huaide expectantly, hoping that the other party would agree.
The success of greenhouse planting, the experience can be promoted, and the number of people who plant is more, which can be regarded as promoting social development and benefiting the people.
Yu Huaide was excited: "I, you, Li Dongzhu, you, you said that you are willing to teach me to use a shed to grow vegetables in winter?" β
"Discuss with each other." Li Yi is modest.
"But, it's the vegetables in your shed, making money."
Yu Huaide couldn't figure it out, if he had this method, he would keep it secret and wouldn't tell anyone.
"Who's going to get a bottle of toilet water?" Li Yi looked at the villagers who were sitting there eating a few meters away and asked.
"I'll go." As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, a person had already stood up, turned around and ran.
Flower water is available everywhere, at home, in workshops, and dealers use flower water as an air freshener, Li Yirang.
The others were a step late and sat down in chagrin.
Yu Huaide looked at the vegetables in front of him, especially the cucumbers, and couldn't help but touch them, waiting.
Li Yi took advantage of the time to pick up things, and said to Yu Huaide: "The soap for washing hands has been used many times, and I haven't sold it." β
"Yes, good stuff. Whether it is rubbed with oil or stained with ash, it can be washed with soap, and even the wrinkles on the hands can be brushed off. β
Yu Huaide always used it when he was hospitalized, and he also used soap, but he didn't dare to covet it.
"Shopkeeper Yu thinks that soap is sold to Tubo, but anyone is willing to buy it?" Li Yi asked.
"Buy, Tubo is more reluctant to take a bath than we are, and it can't be washed clean after a long time, especially the hair, which is rubbed with firewood ashes."
Yu Huaide sat up straight, he vaguely knew what Li Yi was going to do.
Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to ask Shopkeeper Yu to go to Tubo alone to sell soap, but I was worried that Shopkeeper Yu wouldn't be able to hold it during the transportation." β
Yu Huaide's face changed, and he shuddered: "No, I have to find someone to form a big team together, carrying soap." β
He recalled the past of taking the Tibetan route, difficult!
There are road bandits, bandits, and government offices.
The government is the best way to do it, give money, and pay bribes for a long time.
The bandits also give benefits, but sometimes the bandits suddenly turn their faces and deny people, or the bandits change their leaders, which is a troublesome thing.
What I am most afraid of is the road bandits, who do not have a fixed position, they will rob and kill when they come up, and they will not give you a chance to talk at all.
I brought my soap to sell it, and I didn't need to sell it a second time, and when I returned from selling it for the first time, it was estimated that I would be sold by someone who also took that line.
I was lucky enough to run people away, and when I came back, I went a second time, and I definitely couldn't get to the place alive.
"I only handed over to you as the shopkeeper Yu, and I didn't recognize the others when they came, so I would rather cut off this road than change people." Li Yi assured Yu Huaide.
"Thank you, I'll go find someone to unite, the price is ...... How do you calculate it? Yu Huaide asked practical questions.
"Five-five points, you bring the soap over, exchange it for local goods, come back and sell it and give me half of the money, or give me half of the goods.
I'll send a few men with me, and they can die, provided you're all dead.
If they die, you live......
I don't listen to explanations, I just look at the results and don't tell me what happened suddenly, why it was too late, etc. β
Li Yi made it clear that the person sent was to supervise you, and it was your business to die.
As for the consequences of the death of your own people, think for yourselves.
Yu Huaide nodded vigorously: "I recruit guards, recruit more good hands in Chang'an, and every time I go out, I tell Li Dongzhu about the situation at the good hands' home."
If I die and they live, I believe that Li Dongzhu will know what to do. β
Yu Huaide is even more ruthless, ring after ring, supervise each other.
While talking, the man who went to fetch the dew water came back.
Li Yi took it and called Yu Huaidewen.
"This thing has a strong smell on the body of the Tibetan people, and after taking a bath with soap, they are smearing a little flower water, which is extremely fragrant.
This toilet water can also be used when soaking in a wooden barrel, and it will be scented after soaking.
Wait for the Yu family to organize the manpower and sell it to the people in Tubo together. There is no second home in the world except me. β
Li Yi said that he was going to smuggle.
That is, to prepare to play a trade war, soap and toilet water are low-cost, exported to the outside world, the price is high, and the trade surplus is maintained.
Whoever masters the technology and controls the demand will have the initiative in trade.
Yu Huaide sniffed hard, feeling that he was in a happy mood and comfortable.
"What does Li Dong want to change?" Yu Huaide decided that the deal was done, and united with the others to form a huge team.
"Livestock, jerky, sheepskins, wool, no jewelry, there should be white stacks there, that is, cotton, cotton can be exchanged. If you can bring back the good horse alive, I will give you an extra profit. β
Li Yi talked about the specific exchange materials, jewelry is useless to him, it is minerals, and it must be able to eat, wear and use.
Only basic civilian goods can shake the foundation of the other side.
As for cotton, he is willing to pay a higher price, and if he grows cotton, he can't grow anything else.
Yu Huaide couldn't think of Li Yi's plan, he wrote down Li Yi's words, and then he ate.
After eating, Li Yi sent Yu Huaide to Zhuangzi and said: "When I was looking for the people who united, I told them that I would teach them how to plant in a greenhouse." β
"I'll do it when I get back." Yu Huaide nodded vigorously, and then took two large baskets of more than 100 catties of various vegetables and left.
He wants to invite some people to dinner in the evening, so he uses these vegetables, especially cucumbers.
Li Yi turned his head and sent Yang Siqiao and Gao Lishi away, brought a lighter and toilet water, and gave Wang Xing ten by the way, and he thought about how to deal with it himself.
"Come on, one person at a time, it's okay to play, don't burn things."
Everyone was sent away, including the people from the Imperial Medical Department, and Li Yi threw Taohong an alcohol lighter for each of them.
RosΓ© and the others were really willing to listen to the ding, and then watch the flames come out and then extinguish them.
Li Yi thought about it and found Song De: "Where is the sixth Li Zhuang?" Send some lighters to my eldest brother, and we'll sell alcohol in the future. β
"In the west of Chang'an City, it was originally a wasteland, and later someone built Zhuangzi, which was not called Liulizhuang at that time, and few people know about it now."
Song De knew part of the situation, from the people who bought soy sauce.
"Send two hundred, I'll write a letter and ask my eldest brother to help give it away, and if it's gone, I'll pour it here."
Li Yi said and went back to the courtyard to write a letter.
Some grains are not good, and if you eat them, you will get sick, so he plans to make wine, but he doesn't drink it anyway, and distills it out of alcohol to sell.
