Chapter 505: Your Majesty Lacks Money and Buys New Deals (Part 1)
After August 15, the weather in Jingzhao Province began to cool.
The people who wore straw sandals changed to shoes with finer weaves.
When shoe polish appeared in the upper echelons of the imperial court and in the Nanqu of Pingkangfang, the number of people who ran to the Bashui Bridge to buy shoe polish increased.
Shoe polish is packed in a bamboo tube, like a tea tube.
The difference is that the barrel of shoe polish is shallow, and it becomes a round flat box.
I coat it with wax first and put shoe polish in it.
At the same time, it comes with a shoe brush, a box of shoe polish and a penny.
Those who wear long leather boots color a pair of boots, and a third is left in a box.
It turns out to be a natural color, and there is no need for color modifiers, which is much more convenient.
For a while, people on Chang'an Avenue began to wear leather shoes, and those who wore leather boots were hot at noon, so they turned their heads to find shoemakers to make them.
More people choose to go to ready-to-wear shops and buy leather shoes that match the size and shape of their feet.
They are all pigskins, and cowhides are used to make weapons.
As for the deerskins, they are not found in the ready-to-wear shops.
As soon as you put on the shoes, you feel superior, especially when you see people who are still wearing straw sandals and cloth shoes.
The children who made shoe polish took to the streets, and they assigned several people to each shop.
If you feel that the transaction is not good, you will adjust it when the time comes.
Li Yi entered the city again, he brought a straw hat and changed into ordinary clothes without the logo of the Li family Zhuangzi.
King Song also wore a straw hat, the same clothes.
"It's going to be winter, the palace has decided to reward the officials with more things, Your Majesty's money has been arranged, and there is a shortage of money."
Li Chengqi whispered to Li Yi.
Li Yi tried to keep his head down as much as possible so that others could not see his face.
The two of them are going to Xuanyang Fang, just south of Pingkang Fang, the two squares are next to each other, and there is a road in the middle.
Li Yi was afraid of being seen by the people in Pingkangfang, so he walked and left the car in heaven and earth.
There is an important place in Xuanyangfang, the yamen of Wannian County is here, but it is not next to Pingkangfang.
The door of the yamen opens to the south, at the southernmost point of Xuanyangfang.
Li Longji bought a piece of land to the north of Xuanyangfang, wanting to make money and then give benefits to the ministers.
In the future, there will be a serious competition of interests, feed first, and whichever official jumps out to oppose it, you can use the knife.
Li Longji's salt well is still fighting, and it's not easy to drill.
A few gas wells are helping others make money by boiling salt, and the little salt in their own salt wells is saved, and they can only be transported by a large boat.
The gold mine given by Li Yi belongs to long-term mining, and he can't save much money for more than two months.
Raising 30,000 Lin Feiqi and more than 90,000 military horses that have all arrived, Li Longji is anxious.
Free up a little money and hurry up to buy a piece of land, I don't know how to make money, but you can find Li Yi.
Today, Li Yi was pulled, and Li Chengqi didn't mention the matter of sharing, and Li Yi didn't dare to touch it.
"That's it, the area is not much different from heaven and earth, facing the streets and roads, see what kind of business to make?" Li Chengqi pressed the brim of the hat.
He was worried that someone would see him and shout at King Song.
Li Yi looked at the place and glanced at Pingkangfang again.
"Big brother, Pingkangfang is actually a local pillar industry, and it should be taxed, but no matter how many women ask for this money, I know you can't do it."
Li Yi's voice became low, and he was even more afraid.
"That's right, we also confiscate money from the temple and the temple, and watch them sell incense and oil all day long.
But let them give money to help others, and they cooperated. You see, now some people have gone to drink porridge.
Their porridge is getting thinner and thinner, and there are always people who skip meals and use to drink as water. ”
Li Chengqi agreed with Li Yi's words, it is not good to collect taxes from women in Pingkangfang.
"Hmm!" Li Yi nodded in understanding.
He went on to talk about the situation: "Since there are pillar industries, what we need to do is to improve the supporting service industries with the pillar industry center. ”
"What's that for?" Li Chengqi can understand it now, but he doesn't know how to improve it.
"Open bath, four-story bath, separate for men and women, half for a family, first floor for changing shoes and clothes, with stairs inside.
From the first floor to the second floor, in order to bathe, to do a good job of waterproofing, with oilcloth and glue, and then tile pasting.
The third floor is a place to drink tea and rest, and the fourth floor is connected to the woman's side, and there are musical instruments and newspapers. ”
Li Yi said while making a gesture and introduced the layout of the bath.
The lower three floors are separated for men and women, and the upper floors are connected.
"Someone is coming?" Li Chengqi asked thoughtfully.
"You go to Pingkangfang, you can't take a bath? Are they all counting on washing there? And the girls of Pingkangfang, they ......"
Li Yi explained what supporting services are.
Men who want to go in and play, go here to take a shower and get clean.
Talk about what is good for physical and mental health and not be disgusted.
Even when I came back from outside in not very good clothes, I wanted to communicate with the girls and went in to take a shower.
When the time comes, let people buy a new set of clothes, and then tidy up their hair, one in and one out, as if they were a different person.
The girls of Pingkang used to bathe in their rooms or yards with wooden barrels.
Isn't it very comfortable to cross a road and have a big place to wash?
After washing, go up to the fourth floor when you rest, chat with people, go down separately, and go back to Pingkangfang together, what a good thing.
Li Chengqi nodded again and again after hearing this, yes, good idea, oops, Brother Yi is Brother Yi, what is this method around the center, good.
"Now I can make money from the girls in Pingkangfang, and it is justified." Li Chengqi thought of earning at both ends.
"The girls in Pingkangfang take a bath for free, and they also give soap, shampoo, tea, and snacks." Li Yi waved his hand.
"Why?" Li Chengqi thinks that it is not easy to have a moneymaker, why don't you charge it?
"You're not free, how can they let someone else wash here first and then go? Someone is there to talk about a good thing, wash it directly, don't you have to work hard? ”
Li Yi explained the industrial alliance for Li Chengqi.
It's free for Pingkangfang, and whoever wants to go in in the future, if you don't take a bath, the girl from Pingkangfang will cooperate and hint that you should wash it first before coming.
Then there is a group of men who go to the bath to take a bath, change clothes, and then go to Pingkangfang.
The price is high, there are no baths elsewhere.
I can't even take out this money, why should I go to Pingkangfang to talk about poetry with the girls?
Isn't that a place to secretly open the door to welcome guests, go find them?
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Chengqi is thorough at one point, the industry is united, and it is not easy for the girls to accept their money.
"How much should I charge for this wash?" Li Chengqi still has a problem, he has never worked in this industry.
"It's cheap to wash, even if I provide the hot water for free, the key is to provide supporting services.
Milk, salt, a massage that is said to make a man do more, and a tea that is said to make a man last longer.
Plus plucking the ears, smoking the ears, incense, bathing, pedicures.
Which girl said that she likes the taste of autumn chrysanthemum, does the man want to come to a autumn chrysanthemum fragrance service alone? ”
Li Yi said little by little, very patient.
"And then those autumn chrysanthemums you collected are just selling for a big price?"
Li Chengqi listened and found that even if the chrysanthemums collected by Brother Yi did not sell flower tea, they would still be marketable.
"No, I didn't, it's not me, how could I take advantage of this, but I have all kinds of flower essential oils, and I received them."
Li Yi waved his hands together and resolutely refused to admit it.
Brothers and sisters who read books at the outstation, if you have the ability to come to the starting point to support the subscription, thank you. Take a bow!
