"Merchants do have to pay taxes." Bi Gou, who was envied by the prime ministers, also ate chestnuts.

His chestnuts were brought to the door by his family's subordinates, who bought them especially for him.

The chestnuts bought by Huangmen were given by the government hall, and others wanted to eat them to see how the palace was arranged.

Bi Gou knew that the price was three times that of selling raw chestnuts.

He thought about the artificial, coke, iron pan and small basket in the stir-fry.

No matter how you calculate it, it shouldn't reach twice the price of raw chestnuts, and the teenagers in Lantian County have at least doubled the profit.

At the same time, the people in his family went to Li's Zhuangzi every day to buy pencil leads, and then sold them, and they got more than enough money.

He found it too easy for a merchant to make a profit, or at least he gave a position to the people who were working in the fields.

He didn't think about when the merchant lost money, nor did he think about the merchant running around and traveling.

"The gateball that Li Yi said last time is only suitable for people from rich families to play, otherwise the old man will have to work, and the women's hula hoop is not good.

Let's go and ask if there are any small things that the household department wants to help promote. ”

Bi Gou is ready to be pushed by the household department, let others make money, and collect taxes by the way.

He sped up his speed to deal with official business, and before lunch, he rushed to Li's Zhuangzi.

When he found Li Yi, Li Yi was holding a bird made of bamboo chips in his hand, and the bird had a big belly.

"Lao Bi, isn't the household department busy?" Li Yi put down the bamboo bird, went to make tea, and drank a few sips to eat.

"Recently, I have made a lot of money selling pencil leads, and I think businessmen should pay their taxes faster, and every day passes, they will collect a lot less."

Bi Gou was anxious to promote the matter of paying taxes to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

"The exchange vouchers are not in circulation, and now the tax collection is not appropriate, and the quality of the silk cannot be judged, and it is easy to be stolen by the local officials.

It was not easy for merchants to transport goods, and then they brought copper coins and silk silk out specifically to pay taxes, and the cost was too high.

Silk and copper coins were placed in local warehouses, which increased the cost of local storage. ”

Li Yi objected, he was too anxious and messy.

The cost is consumed, and Datang consumes it as a whole, although the household department can get the money in advance.

"You don't know the price of firewood and rice, and you have to pay from the household department to fight the war, and it is difficult for me to be a scholar. What else do you have to buy and sell that will make you money? ”

Bi Gou complained, and his words changed suddenly.

"What for?" Li Yi is vigilant, I won't do the business of making money myself? The pencil lead is a greeting gift.

"I want the household department to help push it out, and whoever uses it will pay taxes. Let's see if it's okay first, it's in Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Bi Gou said the good idea he thought of, no one else pays taxes, and the one who makes money alone has to pay it after learning.

Li Yi pursed his lips: "Things are easy to make, you can't collect the money, you can't send someone to keep an eye on it." It's better for you to do it yourself, and then make money to subsidize the court. ”

"How can a person from the household department do such a job?" When Bi Gou heard that he was working to make money for the court, he always felt that something was wrong.

"This is called the effective use of resources, and the household department has become an investment department, which specializes in hiring people to work, giving wages, and using more money."

Li Yi gave a way, if he was short of money, he would work, all for the sake of the court.

"Tell me what the job is." Bi Gou has to ask clearly.

"You've eaten noodles, haven't you? Soup cakes. Li Yi asked.

"Naturally, I have eaten it, and now many places have learned from heaven and earth to prepare different sauces, and they have been mixed with cucumber shreds in summer."

Bi Gou was a little hungry, and then he pondered eating noodles at noon.

"Selling noodles can be bundles or coils, and others buy them and put them in the pot to cook, which is convenient.

If you fry it in oil, you can soak it in water when others eat it, and there is a price difference in the middle.

I'll tell you how to make it quickly in large quantities, and now it's all rolled by hand, or taken and cut. ”

Li Yi said that he asked the household to process flour and sell noodles to make money by selling noodles.

"It's also hard to grind noodles, and now many people eat wheat by hulling and steaming." Bi Gou thought that it was troublesome to harvest wheat flour.

"In a few days, I will sell flour in my Zhuangzi, the price is cheap, and the husked wheat can be exchanged for 13 taels to 10 taels of whole wheat flour for one catty.

The water content is not the same, the water content is less, the hulled wheat is a pound for thirteen taels, if it is too wet, don't. ”

Li Yi put down the tea bowl and motioned for Bi Gou to follow him to eat.

"I eat noodles, they should be cold, and the meat should be marinated with more large pieces, but not too salty." Bi Gou made a request when he walked out.

"How good it is for you to eat meat, and then eat a bowl of noodles, and I have to give you a freshly fried marinade, and the Zhuangzi is full of small pieces of meat."

Li Yiquan, let's change it, it's tiring to work.

"Can't I grind the wheat myself and then give you the money to process it?" The topic turned back to Bigou.

"Okay, according to half of the wheat money, twenty dollars of wheat is one penny of processing fees." Li Yi nodded, no problem.

"That means I will give you twenty stones of wheat, and you will give me nineteen stones of flour?" Bi Gou put it from a different perspective.

Li Yi shook his head: "No, you gave me twenty stones of wheat, I left one stone, and I will grind the nineteen stones for you, and you take the things yourself." ”

"Do you have good technology? Oh, call the device. "After pondering it, I felt that there was a new technology.

"Yes, but it is difficult to promote, others can't do it, and they need gears, connecting rods, and crushing parts, but wood and bamboo can't do it."

Li Yi waved his hand and talked about the requirements for materials for manufactured things.

"Iron? Good iron? Bi Gou was disappointed.

"Porcelain is also used in the middle place, and when you fire qualified porcelain, you can use it to grind wheat, and the hardness of porcelain is much higher than that of wheat."

Li Yi pushed open the door of the cafeteria, took a breath, and said.

"Porcelain is fragile." Bi Gou felt that porcelain was not good.

"It's brittle, and when it is manufactured, the shape of the spiral has to be changed, and the protrusion has to be shorter, so that when facing the kernel, there is no more lateral force.

I'm going to experiment with it, so I'll use it if it works, and if it doesn't work, I'll continue to make latte.

Others are willing to buy equipment, and I sell it, and the price is high, and they use it to process flour for other people. ”

Li Yi is not very sure about this, and he does not have the manufacturing technology applied in the ceramic industry.

Zirconia is not so easy to make, it is too laborious, and if you have that time, you might as well find a few more iron ores.

When waiting for others to give Bi Gou a note, Li Yi took out a meat grinder, made of metal, with large and small nets.

Hand crank to Bi Gou to choose a large hole to make a large piece of meat filling, this fast.

Seeing him shake, Bi Gou showed a curious look: "Xiao Yi, can flour be ground out like this?" ”

"That's right, I just want to build such a mill, I want this kind of hand-cranked, I can shake a lot of it a day, eat it at home, and it won't take long to make flour for a meal."

Li Yi stopped as he spoke, took the minced meat to fry, and the people in the kitchen came to clean up the machine.

In fact, his chopping words are easier than this, and he wants Bi Gou to take a look at the structure.

Like pepper and coffee powder, they are all ground out of this structure, and the principle is the same.

It is also no problem to grind wheat, and to make large ones, it is driven by livestock or water power, which is a flour processing factory.

The number of meshes needed should be more, otherwise the flour will not be fine enough.
