"The proprietor, the proprietor, sold 1,200 of them."

On October 25, Song De hurriedly ran over to find Li Yi.

He told Li Yi that he had sold 1,200 kerosene lamps, and there were really many rich people in Chang'an.

Li Yi was very calm: "Don't worry, Chang'an's consumption potential is large, now it's just that some people are hesitating, and when others use kerosene lamps, they can't help it." ”

Li Yi knows the psychology of consumption, do rich people spend money to buy things? They buy identity.

If you buy a kerosene lamp, the rich will not be able to look at it.

He bought a leather bag at that time, tens of thousands of them, is it really more comfortable to use than others?

For the people who have no money, the Li family Zhuangzi sells things close to the people, and for the rich, the price is more expensive and close to the people.

How much did the first BP machine cost when it came out? Then out of Hanxian, the price doubled, and some people rushed to buy it.

Waiting for the mobile phone to appear, I can't shout when I call and everyone around me hears it.

It wasn't until it calmed down later, and the phone was just a matter of using it.

Kerosene lamps are pretty much the same thing, luxury.

If Li Yi wants to support the front line, he has to help Datang make money, starting from himself, until next year, the kerosene lamps sold will not pay taxes.

You will have to pay taxes after the New Year, so if you don't buy it now, wait and regret it.

"Just such a thing, it will be sold for a hundred tassels, a little copper, a glass cover, and what kerosene, how did the kerosene come from?"

Yao Chong carried a kerosene lamp in his hand, and belittled it vigorously, analyzing it from the cost of materials.

Zhang Shuo and Lu Huaishen in the hall of the government hall didn't bother to pay attention to Yao Chong, they were carefully wiping the glass cover of the kerosene lamp with a small deerskin rag.

Things are rewarded by His Majesty, and there is one for all the real three-grade officials.

Then every two months, each person could receive a tube of 4,000 milliliters of kerosene, which was said to be lit for a hundred hours in a row.

You don't need to light it to sleep at night, it's just to eat dinner and light it some time before going to bed.

Fifty hours a month, more than one and a half hours a day, is enough.

Of course, if you get up early in the morning to go to the court, you should also order a little when it gets dark.

Lu Huaishen and Zhang said that they cherished this kerosene lamp very much and memorized the instruction manual by heart.

The main thing is to add salt, which can turn the water in kerosene into a brine solution.

The brine solution is not miscible with kerosene, and the proportion is large, so it falls below.

The kerosene on it is pure, it does not emit black smoke when it burns, and it is brighter.

If you don't do this, with the craftsmanship of Li Zhuangzi, then the kerosene will always be whistling black smoke.

Of course, Li Yi can process kerosene and purify it first, he has the technology.

But he doesn't, for every percentage point increase in purity, the money spent is a few points, and in the later stage, zero tenths of a percentage point, purification needs to double the funds.

Like alcohol, if you want to purify it, you have to ...... Add quicklime, do not add salt, alcohol dissolves in brine.

As for the alcohol used for analysis, Li Yi could only say sorry, he couldn't get it.

Yao Chong could not have understood chemistry and physics, and he habitually criticized and found that no one catered to him.

"You say, how about collecting ninety percent of the tax?" Yao Chong looked for a conversation.

"Li Yi may not sell it, and we will not have kerosene in the future. Yuanzhi, let's stop for a moment. ”

Lu Huai was cautious, he couldn't just trouble Li Yi if he caught something.

I know you're sick, but you're too sick.

Zhang said to look at the glass cover, which was beautiful, clean, and there were no traces of wiping from all angles.

He put down the deerskin: "Didn't the heavens and the earth say that it is good to give us and the various Shangshu a lamp and take care of the lamp oil." ”

"He's bought you bought." Yao Chong said angrily.

"Yuanzhi, do you want to join the group?" Lu Huaishen was not polite, the group he said was naturally the first Datang inspection group.

"How do you use two lights? Actually, one is enough, I'll go back and think about it. ”

As soon as Yao Chong heard about entering the group, he hurriedly turned in, that is, retreated.

He already knew the role of Li Yi instigating His Majesty to get the group, all of which were former high-ranking officials.

Other inspection officials may be resisted by the local government when they go to the locality, and the local government may contact the senior officials in the court.

And if it is replaced by a group of people who have been scholars and prime ministers, will they bow their heads? They will clean up more ruthlessly.

At the same time, they don't deal with each other very much, and no one wants to intercede with others.

This damn drop will be damaged, and it is estimated that he will join the group one day.

You say you don't have the right, right? It's a lot of power.

You say you have the right, a group of colleagues restrict, what about you as prime minister? Who hasn't been?

"Yuanzhi's current illness belongs to the spiritual category." Zhang said that he understands a lot now, and even understands mental illness.

"He handles all the big things, I am only responsible for small things, and some people say bad things, the old man was still angry before, but now he is not angry."

Lu Huaishen has always been in charge of trivial matters, he knows that he can't compete with Yao Chong, and he wants to make Datang better, so he will take care of the messy things that don't seem big to His Majesty.

In fact, these things are a big deal for the local state capital.

"Isn't it, Li Yi has a lot of things? is just a civil official, Li Yi has never asked for anything, and is always there to help. ”

Zhang said that the psychology is also balanced, if you want power or something, does Li Yi want to pass? If he hadn't been angry because of the flood, he wouldn't have been impeached.

Back in his office, Yao Chong calmed down, and also picked up the matching deerskin to wipe the kerosene lamp.

In the past two or two days, the wind has been strong and the weather has been cold, and the number of people selling kerosene lamps has increased.

Kerosene lamps are really useful, especially when it's windy, and heavy objects need to fall under other lanterns.

Then the wind blew, and the candle flame inside still swayed, although the lamp was called the Dead Wind Lamp.

The outside of the lantern is paper and yarn, which itself is shaded.

The outside of the kerosene lamp is covered with glass and is bright.

The same rich people, there is no curfew at night, parties, and some people come over with kerosene lamps by themselves, and they are uncomfortable dangling.

With a lantern, it feels inferior.

Who can stand this, wow, buy, isn't it a hundred!

"Why is it not a year? You buy slowly, what's the hurry? "Everyone else is normal, and Bi Gou has more gray hair.

After the New Year, kerosene lamps began to collect taxes.

Now that it sells so much, will anyone still buy it after the New Year? It's all money.

After thinking about it, he wrote a poem to Li Yi: Before the year, the oil lamp was like a star, and after the festival, a lonely moon was bright. Beidou He once knew the Jade Rabbit, and the people's suffering was in the imperial court.

Meaning, you sell so much now, can you still sell one in the New Year?

The stars and the moon are not to be confused.

You must know that your purpose is to help the people increase taxes for the imperial court, hurry up, don't sell it yet.

Li Chengqi helped Bi Gou deliver the letter at night: "Brother Yi, you see that the hair of the household department is almost gone. ”

Li Yi understood as soon as he heard it, and he was quite helpless: "Lao Bi still doesn't understand economic and consumer psychology, and now he has to sell it while the iron is hot."

Waiting for the rich people in Chang'an to have kerosene lamps, other foreign businessmen are willing to buy them.

How much does a kerosene lamp make? What really makes money is kerosene with ten taxes and one day, and the more you use it, the more you use it, the long-term thing. ”

Li Chengqi was thinking deeply, thinking about the comprehensive things of Datang, which should indeed be rolled out, rather than seeking temporary benefits.

"It's going to be wrong in a hurry, right?" Li Chengqi asked when he was self-reflecting.
