Since assisting the Yang sisters in building a perfume workshop, Ang Lee's life has suddenly become busy, in addition to being responsible for the Wanli Transsion Project, he also has to take extra time to help the Yang sisters' workshop, and at the same time, he also has to go to his own workshop to inspect the production and progress of perfume glass bottles, and estimate whether the output can meet the needs of the Yang family.

In order to allow guests to have more choices, or to show the needs of different consumer groups, Ang Lee also needs to constantly improve the shape of the perfume bottle, and design a complete set of perfume bottles of different grades, the high-end ones can be inlaid with gold, silver and gemstones, and the low-grade ones are a very ordinary glass bottle, but the lid part is brass.

However, even the glass bottle with a brass lid itself represents a high-end, after all, under the monopoly of Ang Lee, glass is an extremely rare resource, and the palace is the raw material for casting copper coins.

Because of the monopoly, all the goods produced by Ang Lee's glass workshop are luxury goods, including the cheapest small glass mirrors, and the manufacturing difficulty of perfume glass bottles is much more difficult than that of flat glass mirrors, and the cost is much higher, so it is even more of a luxury.

The price of luxury goods is relatively high, but after the industrialization of the Tang Empire in recent years, ordinary people are getting richer and richer, and those who were already relatively wealthy are even richer.

Especially with the east wind of industrialization, the wealthy family has seen a surge in wealth, and it is not a problem to buy some luxury goods or something, so as long as the perfume of the Yang family is pushed into the market, it will inevitably be able to obtain a lot of sales, which is beyond doubt.

However, ordinary families, want to afford high-end perfume, I'm afraid it's impossible, in the wave of industrialization, although, all the people of the Tang Dynasty have obtained tangible benefits, however, more interests are occupied by a small number of businessmen and nobles, ordinary people get very few benefits, it is simply pitiful.

That is to say, this east wind can only blow up a small number of people, for example, ordinary people can get twice the benefits with the help of this east, then nobles and merchants have the ability to get a hundred or a thousand times the benefits, or even ten thousand times is not unusual.

On the surface, after having better opportunities, everyone can get more than the original benefits, but the multiple gap is very large, that is to say, the wave of industrialization has made everyone rich, but at the same time, it has also greatly widened the gap between the rich and the poor, so that the gap between the rich and the poor has become larger, and the social inequality has become more obvious.

This is like the commercial society of later generations, before the commercial regulation, everyone was relatively poor, it was difficult to fill the stomach, and it was not uncommon for people to starve to death.

After the opening up and commercialization, the country quickly became rich and strong, the poor not only could eat enough, but also could stand out from the problems, all kinds of rich and noble diseases found the poor, but the poor did not feel happy, but felt that life was very unhappy, not as happy as before, and the life was getting poorer and poorer.

In fact, the poor have not become poorer, but much richer than before, and the reason why they have the idea of being poorer is because other poor people are 10,000 times richer, and they are only 100 times richer.

People who can only wear patch clothes before, now have tens of millions of luxury cars, and their own cars are only 100,000, this gap is depressing, and before commercialization, they can only walk, although walking is very tiring, but everyone is equal, so, the happiness in the heart is naturally greater.

Later generations always say that happiness is comparative, and it is compared with the people around you, if you are richer than the people around you, you will feel happy, and if you are poorer than the people around you, you will feel sad, and you will feel that the money you earn is not enough to spend.

For example, if someone around you buys clothes for 10,000 yuan, their income is low, and they can't buy 10,000 yuan, they can only buy clothes for 100 yuan, and they will feel a sense of disparity in their hearts, and they will feel unhappy and their lives are very depressing.

In fact, when he was young, he was probably still wearing clothes with patches, and the person who wore 10,000 yuan of clothes was also wearing patch clothes, and their living conditions now are far greater than when they were children, but it is because of the huge gap between them that the relatively poor party has a depressed feeling.

And the reason why, after a few decades, their income gap can become so large is because they were all farmers before, farming at home, even if you have the ability, you can still grow flowers in farming? With the development of the market economy, all kinds of new occupations and businesses have prospered, and the income of many occupations is completely unlimited, can grow indefinitely, and the income of businessmen is not to mention, people who can get resources and sales, can earn a large amount of wealth, and if they only do ordinary work, the income is very limited, so that the gap between rich and poor wealth is getting wider and wider, it is inevitable, and no one can prevent the occurrence of these phenomena.

When Ang Lee was shopping online in his previous life, after choosing a product, he would habitually click on the sales, and then buy the products with the highest sales, so that the higher the sales, the better the business of the store, and the store without sales will always be difficult to improve, and even have to close the store.

That is, the rich will become richer and richer, and the poor will have a harder time catching up with the rich, widening the gap between them.

Since ancient times, at the beginning of the dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor was the smallest, and the country was relatively stable, but with the passage of time, the land was annexed, and the gap between the rich and the poor would become wider and wider, and when it was really impossible to clean up, the dynasty would also perish.

Of course, that was in the relatively backward productive forces in ancient times, in the later generations of abundant materials, it is difficult for such a thing to happen, although the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, but the civilized court will do everything possible to meet the minimum living security of the lowest people, although they can not give them glory and wealth, but can give them the material to live, so that they can not be starved to death, and as long as there is food, even if the life is not satisfactory, people will not rebel, so, there is no change of dynasty.

In ancient times, the reason why there was a change of dynasty was because in the last years of the dynasty, there was not only a serious gap between the rich and the poor, but also that the poor people were tortured and had no food to eat.

Fortunately, the common people of the Tang Dynasty are relatively simple, and after gradually becoming richer, the poor people did not resent the rich nobles because they were richer, but were grateful to Ang Lee, and felt that it was Ang Li who brought new vitality to the Tang Dynasty and made the Tang Empire develop better and richer.

After becoming rich, the social environment of the Tang Dynasty naturally became more stable, and the rich and oily aristocrats were also willing to take out a part of the food to help the poor who could not eat enough, in order to show their kindness, and even ordinary poor people were willing to help those who were poorer than themselves.

As a result, in the huge city of Chang'an, there are almost no people who are hungry because they have no food, and even fewer people are wandering on the streets.

After all, after a large number of workshops are opened, the demand for manpower is quite large, and these idle homeless people are very good laborers, and when manpower is tight, it is not impossible to let these homeless people join the ranks of craftsmen who work, unless the homeless man is a person with a problem, then it cannot be used, and as long as it is a person with a normal IQ, it can be used.

The Tang Dynasty society is quite stable, the court is naturally very stable, everything is firmly controlled by the emperor Li Longji, and no one can easily overthrow the emperor.

However, although the imperial court is relatively stable, some small waves are still unavoidable, such as in terms of personnel appointments and dismissals, it will be frequently transferred to prevent someone from staying in one position for too long, forming a small hill that is unfavorable to the emperor.

And at this moment, as Li Linfu's health is getting worse and worse, there is also an undercurrent within the court, that is, once Li Linfu dies, the question of who will be the right minister.

It can be seen from the emperor's attitude that Yang Guozhong is the most likely to be appointed as the right minister, because he is the most favored minister, as for Li An, although he is also very favored, however, Li An really has no time to deal with national affairs, just the various scientific research tasks of the R&D center are enough for Li An to be busy, and Li An has always been reluctant to deal with these mundane things, although he has also led soldiers before, but at this time, the performance of weapons in the Tang army has been greatly improved, and any general can sweep the surroundings, so, There is no need to manage the troops, so there is almost no possibility of letting Li An be the right minister, and Li An will not agree, it would be too wasteful of time.

The public bidding of the battery workshop was soon held in the capital, and there were many powerful people who participated in the bidding, however, not everyone was sincere to bid, most of the businessmen who did not have the strength were just trying to have a lively scene, and by the way, they could also see the excitement and understand how the bidding was going on, and some people who felt that there would be an inside story, would also come over to see the situation.

Before the official start of the bidding, the Datang Daily continued to report on this grand bidding activity on a large scale, as a result, the people of the whole city are talking about this problem in the streets and alleys, and the qualified businessmen, who can get a ticket, will definitely go in to see in person to see what the bidding is about.

The bidding work was held by Ang Lee himself, and many senior officials of the imperial court would also be present at the scene, but it was Ang Lee's official position that was the largest, and the rest of the officials were just foils.

Li An was taken aback as soon as he entered the scene, the venue was full of people, it was estimated that there were three or five thousand people, and the number of people made Li An very surprised.

So many people, did they all come to participate in the bidding? This is too much, but from this point, it can also be seen that everyone attaches great importance to the bidding, even if it is to cheer, there are so many people to witness, which can better reflect fairness.

After the bidding began, a responsible official first read the rules of the bidding carefully and asked everyone to review the rules of the bidding, and then it officially began, and the initial price was set at 1,000 gold.

This price is really not low, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, ordinary people can't earn so much money in their lives, however, for the powerful and big businessmen, this money is very insignificant, and many powerful people in the capital can easily take out so much money, which is the most suitable as the starting price.

Although many powerful people in Datang are very interested in the battery project, they will not stand up themselves, but let them be handled by people who are loyal to themselves.

The price of 1,000 pieces of gold was quickly raised to 10,000, then 20,000, 30,000, the price was so high that many businessmen on the scene were dumbfounded, and some businessmen who dared to bid before gave up obediently after hearing these prices, and no longer dared to bid, so they could only quietly watch others bid, and they became the ones who watched the excitement.

After a busy afternoon, a total of three businessmen bid more than 50,000 yuan, more than a dozen businessmen bid more than 40,000 yuan, more than 20,000 gold yuan There are about 100 businessmen, there are as many as five or six hundred businessmen who participated in the bidding, and the remaining thousands of people just came to join in the fun, anyway, there is no need to spend money, and it is quite interesting to see the battle for the rich on the spot.

"My good man, it's all 50,000 yuan, these guys are really rich!"

"Li Shilang, I've already shouted three times, and there is no higher price."

The official next to him reminded.

Ang Lee nodded, got up and announced that the three highest bidders would get access to this extremely valuable technology, and Ang Lee would continue to provide technical support to help them improve their battery technology, provide them with continuous technology accumulation, and ensure their profits.

"Today's bidding is really exciting, the price has soared from 1,000 to 50,000, a full 50 times the difference! It's too ruthless for this. ”

"Fifty thousand gold, this is really hemorrhage! It's just that Li Shilang can come up with such a ruthless idea, it's too ruthless. ”

"I heard that the 50,000 yuan of gold not only includes technology, but also includes a piece of workshop land and some simple machines, as well as follow-up maintenance costs, if all of them add up, it is not a very loss, besides, you can make a lot of money in the future, which is a blessing for future generations!"

After leaving the bidding site, everyone said with a smile.
