Chapter 178: The Eastern God of Wealth's counterattack

Shampoo, perfume, soap, stainless steel pots, glass mirrors, stainless steel basins, laundry detergent, dish soap, thermos flasks, strainer teapots and much more. ≥

In particular, the thermos flask is simply a treasure in the eyes of local tyrants.

In the Great Song Dynasty, tea used to be drunk as it was boiled. Often when the tea is cold, you need to warm it immediately, which is particularly troublesome. But with a thermos flask, as long as you pour hot water, you don't have to worry about the hot water getting cold.

The local tyrants usually like to get together to drink tea. When tasting tea, with this thermos flask, the grade is suddenly higher.

Some local tyrants who haven't had time to buy it are envious of those who have already bought thermos.

They also went to Li Yibai's shop to buy it, the price of the thermos bottle is very high, and it takes 100 taels of silver, but the local tyrants don't care at all, because if they don't buy this, others will come to his house as a guest in the future, and he won't be able to take out the thermos flask, what a shame it is.

As a celebrity in Lin'an, the gentlemen are even more inclined to thermos bottles.

As a result, the thermos flask has become the most popular fashion item in Lin'an.

These goods in Lin'an are not exported for the time being, which makes many local tyrants from other places also blush, and they simply move to Lin'an to live, just to enjoy Li Yibai's new scientific and technological products. For a while, the housing prices in Lin'an West Lake rose, but Li Yibai had already expected all this, and those houses were all taken over by him in advance, so he sold them at a high price and slaughtered these local tyrants from other places.

Li Yibai's goods are expensive. A lot of the money of the local tyrants also flowed into his hands. Of course, he felt that this was not enough.

So all his new gadgets, new technologies, new users after the infrastructure is built. He tried his best to recommend the local tyrant to use it first. For example, tap water. Bicycle. Recorder. mp3 and so on.

After the local tyrants had used it for a while, he lowered the price so that his workers could afford it. Although the local tyrants have a feeling of being cheated, they still feel that it is worth it to be the first to use the most advanced products. This behavior of theirs is like chasing an iPhone.

'Daddy. Now our income is increasing rapidly, almost exponentially, and this month our gold exceeded 200,000 taels. We can ship to the U.S. to buy a shipyard. ’

Long Wu said to Li Yibai.

'Hmm. This time, we went to the United States to buy shipyards and machine tool factories. In the future, we will try to use local manufacturing as much as possible. In this way, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty was completely revitalized. In the future, we only imported some chemical products. As well as some high-tech products, and some technical information. ’

After finishing speaking, Li Yibai flew back to the United States with Long Wu.

In the United States, they talk about shipyards with ease. Because they have money. Their gold has been exchanged for 67 times the amount of US dollars, and their bank has a high reputation, and its business has been improving, and a lot of capital wants to invest in their bank, but Li Yibai refused. Li Yibai didn't want what he was doing to be revealed to these shareholders because of the entry of capital.

The shipyard landed on the bank of the Qiantang River, where the foundation had been laid in advance. It didn't take long for the shipyard to start. First, small iron ships of several hundred tons were built.

This small iron ship burns natural gas. This was transformed by Li Yibai with technical experts. The hull is about the same size as a wooden boat, but it is faster than a wooden boat. They are the best for walking in the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal is too narrow. Only suitable for such small boats.

The small iron boat shuttles through the Grand Canal almost like a small fish, which is very practical and convenient. Not only transporting goods, but also transporting people.

Many local tyrants in the north come to Lin'an to play on small iron boats. The speed was very fast and very stable, they were all very happy, and they asked Li Yibai if he would sell it.

Sell, of course sell. Whether it is civil or commercial, Li Yibai sells it. Because this accelerates the water transportation capacity of the Great Song Dynasty, it is beneficial to the people of the world.

Merchants can bring down the price of their products because of the reduction in transportation costs.

So Li Yibai sold a lot of small iron boats. Of course, his price is different. What is sold to local tyrants for fun is a modified small iron boat, which is a bit similar to a yacht, but compared to Li Yibai's yacht, they can only be regarded as beggar-level.

Despite this, the local tyrants were excited.

Small iron boats sold to local tyrants are more expensive.

And the one that is sold to the merchant is cheaper.

Li Yibai likes to slaughter local tyrants.

After a period of sales of small iron boats. Li Yibai's shipyard also built medium-sized iron ships, which have a displacement of thousands of tons and are suitable for sailing in the Qiantang and Yangtze rivers.

These ships have also received orders from all over the country, including Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Jiangning.

Because Li Yibai's ship is too good and too useful. So those people are rushing to buy it.

This ship can swim upriver on the Yangtze River, which has been the wish of many shipping merchants for thousands of years.

So despite the high price, merchants rushed to buy it.

Later, Li Yibai's shipyard produced another 10,000-ton cargo ship. However, he did not produce many ships. The main reason is that such giant ships are too expensive. Very few buyers can afford to come up with the funds. At the same time, the materials consumed by this kind of freighter are also huge, and it is not easy to produce.

But Li Yibai saw that there were many large wooden ships in the Great Song Dynasty. These large wooden ships are also ocean-going shipping. But they are all sailboats, powered by the wind.

These big wooden boats are also good at going to sea, but the wind is always too slow to power them. So Li Yibai came up with a modification plan, he installed natural gas internal combustion engines on those large wooden ships, and used the internal combustion engine to drive the propellers as power, and modified the large wooden ships.

This modification is very good. The big wooden boat had a huge amount of power. No more reliance on unstable winds.

This improvement is just too great. Many ship owners have approached Li Yibai to ask for paid modifications.

Li Yibai agreed one by one.

In this way, Li Yibai's shipyard's orders have skyrocketed, and they are almost too busy. Li Yibai was not worried at all about whether these ships would behave recklessly when they were in the hands of those ship owners.

Because those ships burned natural gas, and natural gas was in Li Yibai's hands.

On the banks of the Qiantang River in Lin'an, Li Yibai built a huge gas station.

Every day, the luck ship returning from Yibin has to inject natural gas into the gas station. At the same time, there are several large luck boats sailing on the waterfront. These ships of luck sell gas directly to passing ships.

Therefore, these shipowners have to listen to Li Yibai's words. Otherwise, once Li Yibai broke his anger. He couldn't do anything.

It's cool to control energy in your own hands. Li Yibai felt very proud.

Of course, there are also many workers in the shipyard and gas station. These workers are well paid. Li Yibai paid them a large part of the money he earned.

Gradually, Li Yibai's construction is getting bigger and bigger. He has more and more workers. He also paid more and more attention to the quality education of these workers.

Li Yibai often gave speeches to these workers.

He told these workers that you must not live a life of poverty and luxury, and that you must do something meaningful with your money.

Workers learn the self-cultivation of the middle class every day, communicate with each other every day, learn from each other.

Li Yibai also built various clubs in Lin'an, and he allowed these workers to communicate together, so that they could influence each other and improve the cultivation of the middle class.

Soon, quite a few of the workers also entered the Legislative Yuan. Li Yibai had already paid the taxes for the workers when he paid his wages. Therefore, Li Yibai's workers are the least likely to evade taxes. They have a stronger sense of citizenship.

They were in the Legislative Yuan, when they questioned government officials. They often say that the construction of the new Great Song Dynasty is for the benefit of our children and grandchildren. We all have to work hard for it, and we can't live up to King Wu's expectations. We all have to learn from King Wu. This is everything he brings, and he has been working hard to build a new Great Song Dynasty. Nor can we let up.

Government officials are also deeply sympathetic.

Li Yibai has been busy with various constructions in Lin'an. During this time, someone said to him, 'King Wu, your palace is too small. You should live in the big palace. And now that we are building well in Lin'an, you have made great achievements and can enjoy life in peace. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "I can live in a big house if I can." It's just that the construction of Lin'an is still developing, and I don't have time to enjoy a comfortable life. At the same time, when the people are living a good life, I can live in the big palace again to feel at ease. ’

Ryugo said. Daddy was right. This is not to say that leaders have to live simply. As long as the leader can make the people live a good life, no matter how good the leader is. And the people did not complain. If the people live very hard, and the leaders still put on a show and say that they are still living very hard for the country, then no matter how bitter you are, you don't deserve sympathy. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Long Wu, what you said is good. You are very intelligent, and you have learned a lot of advanced ideas from the United States. This is good. ’

"Dad, I've read a lot of books to get a lot of senses." I think you should strengthen your security, now that you're in a high position and you're constantly pushing for reforms, you're going to have a lot of enemies. We only have more than 100 guards in Lin'an, which is far from enough. So I'm going to give you 1,000 security. Every time you go out to inspect the work, you should have agents set up the scene in advance in case an assassin assassinates you. ’

Ryugo suggested.

'Hmm. You're right. Now I'm King Wu. I gave nine tins. Jiuxili has already stipulated that I should have security forces. Okay, I'll leave it to you.

The agents can wear black glasses, and they can also be armed with pistols and sniper rifles. The Assassins of the Great Song Dynasty were adept at using crossbow arrows. They might also be like modern killers, lying on a high place and stabbing me with a crossbow arrow. You have the security agents set up the scene in advance to prevent these people. ’

Li Yibai commanded.

Li Yibai is right to think about it this way. Because Li Yibai's actions in Lin'an were already too big. His movements have already gone out of Lin'an. His shipyard was along the Qiantang River, and a lot of the business of the Eastern God of Wealth was robbed, and now people only know King Wu in the southeast, and he has long been no longer known to the East God of Wealth.

'Master, Li Yibai's current prestige in Jiangnan is simply against the sky. They all surpass the emperor, and now many small merchants and hawkers are not attached to us. They went to Lin'an to do business. In this way, Lin'an is more developed than Suzhou. ’

The money shopkeeper walked to the East God of Wealth room and said.

Li Yibai is really not simple. Now Lin'an has been turned upside down by him. He became a prince again, and he was also given nine tin, and it is said that the emperor gave him three points. Alas. I'm starting to hesitate too. If I had known that he would be able to develop so fast, I would have known that I would have gotten to know him. But now, we have sinned against him before. Now we can only go one way to the dark. ’

The East God of Wealth said hesitantly.

'The master is saying, kill Li Yibai. The money room asked.

'Hmm. This can only be the case, and now we are cooperating with Cai Jing, Lu Ming, and a large group of Jiangnan officials. Cai Jing and Lu Ming are inseparable from Li Yibai. At the same time, Jiangnan officials and our interests have been combined for a long time. If we cooperate with Li Yibai now, it is estimated that they will also be chaotic. Many of them were afraid of Mr. Li's kind of reforms. They say that kind of reform will make them no money.

So I can't mess them up. After all, they have been with us for so many years. So we have to kill Li Yibai, and as soon as Li Yibai dies, everything he has will be gone. ’

The God of Wealth is quick and thoughtful.

That's it. Master, I think I'll send the Black Eagle Protector to assassinate you. We can trust in his ability. ’

The money shopkeeper suggested.

'Hmm. The Black Eagle Protector had never missed a shot before. He is our elite. This Li Yibai is said to have immortal arts, and ordinary people may not be able to kill him. So the Black Hawk has to go. ’

After speaking, the Eastern God of Wealth issued a killing order.

The Black Hawk Protector is not alone. It's a small group, a total of three people. All three of them are called Black Eagle Protectors, and no one can tell who they are.

They pay attention to one investigation and three executions. If one of them fails, the second must go up immediately, and if the second person fails, the third person must go up immediately.

This is done three times in a row to ensure that the task is foolproof.

The Black Hawk team has not failed a single time since its mission. The three of them not only have the same name, but also look and play exactly the same.

After these three people received the characters, they prepared the murder weapon, dressed up in disguise, and went straight to Lin'an.

In order to strengthen Li Yibai's security, Long Wu specially invited the American security company to come over and directly hire them in the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, these people trained the excellent guards of the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, he and Miss Gong Er sent heroic posts to the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, recruiting martial arts masters from all over the world as guards.

It didn't take long to recruit 1,000 people. These people are all heroic martial arts masters, each of them is aggressive and obsessed with martial arts, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the forbidden army of the Beijing Division.

Because these people are all practicing martial arts as a hobby. The forbidden army is just tall and big, eating and waiting to die. These two are completely different concepts.

The 1,000 people were immediately divided into groups. Under the command of Lu Zhishen and Xiaoqiang, 500 people were divided into factory security guards to protect the factory.

300 people were divided into transport escorts.

The remaining 200 people were divided into Li Yibai's security agents. I was trained by a security company from the United States and trained to use a gun. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
