Chapter 143: The Battle of Lin'an
The essays written by the workers were quickly submitted. + Li Yibai, who was sitting in the room, was seriously correcting his composition.
The wives are also busy with their own things in the room.
"Husband, why are you so concerned about this matter, it's just an essay, you can leave it to someone else to do." Miss Gong Er asked suspiciously.
Li Yibai said seriously, "Madam, you don't know. Whether they really understand the concept of the middle class is crucial to what we do. We have worked so hard to change the Great Song Dynasty, not just to make their lives better and richer. The most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty wants to become a paradise-like country. There must be a group of people who are moral and cultivated.
That's the most important thing, so I attach great importance to their moral construction. ’
Hearing Li Yibai's words, Miss Gong Er nodded.
What the husband said makes sense. This is the same principle that Confucius has always taught us. ’
At this time, Xiaoqing came to report, 'Young Master. There are a lot of people out there who want to see you. ’
'Who? Li Yibai frowned.
Xiaoqing Road, 'is a lot of merchants in Lin'an City. They knew that the young master had moved to Lin'an City. It is estimated that the young master will do business in Lin'an. So they wanted to take refuge with the young master in advance. ’
Li Yibai smiled, 'Oh. I know. You make them wait in the yard. I'll see them later. ’
Li Yibai was not in a hurry, and continued to correct the composition. Only about one-tenth of these workers have a clear understanding of the concept of the middle class. Most people still don't know anything, or just think that filling their stomachs and doing good deeds are middle class. But it does not point out the ugly of the middle class. Firmly believe in the belief and have a clear understanding.
However, Li Yibai knew that they were ancients. If you don't understand it clearly, you can understand it for a while, and then slowly deepen their learning in the future. Later they will understand thoroughly.
Li Yibai finished correcting the composition, stood up, stretched his body, and walked into the courtyard.
Li Xie Yuan came out. No. It should be a transporter to make an adult. Transporting makes adults. ’
'Transporter, we want to join your group. Please buy us. ’
'Buy us. We want to follow you. ’
The merchants in Lin'an City shouted one after another.
Li Yibai smiled, "You also continue to call me Li Xie Yuan like the people." I feel gracious. You want to join my Yibai group, that's good. But first, tell me about your motives. ’
We admire Li Jieyuan. Li Xie Yuan did good deeds. Accumulate virtue and do good, and be noble. ’
A merchant starts to talk straight to the back, but what he says is true, but that's never his purpose.
Li Yibai smiled, "You are dishonest. Who else, continued. ’
"Li Jieyuan, I'll tell you the truth. We are worried that after you enter Lin'an, our stores will go out of business, because your products are too powerful. It's like a toothbrush and toothpaste. It's all merchandise that Manchester City is crazy about. We work with you to survive. We can make money. We follow you just to make money. Many people want to find an opportunity to work with you to get the supply of toothbrush and toothpaste. ’
This merchant saw that Li Yibai was smart. The motive was directly stated.
Li Yibai smiled lightly, "You are right. But you don't know. I still have a lot of good goods. And I don't do things to make money. ’
'That's right,' the merchants nodded, brushing their beards, 'and we don't know what Li Xie Yuan is doing this for. But we hope that Li Jieyuan can get a piece of the pie and take us to get involved in oil and water. ’
Li Yibai smiled and said, "It's natural for you to make money as a businessman. And you're all smart and know how strange things can live. You have no problem joining my chamber of commerce. But I'm worried about one problem. ’
The merchants were stunned, 'What's the problem?' Please make it clear to Li Jieyuan. ’
Li Yibai continued, "I'm worried that after you get my goods, you will secretly sell them to other places at a high price. Or take advantage of my supply and take rebates to take advantage of it.
You know, there have been foreign businessmen who have found it before, and they want to buy goods at twice the market price. Because he can sell it at twice the price when he sells it in other places.
That's what I don't want to see.
So if you want to join our chamber of commerce, you must do things according to my rules, and you must not violate them in the slightest, otherwise, I will bankrupt him and put him in prison. ’
Sure enough, some of the businessmen wanted to take advantage of the scarcity of Li Yibai's supply and planned to sell them to other places to secretly make a lot of money.
But when he heard Li Yibai say this, he immediately hung his head. Li Yibai's power is indeed too great now. Not only does he have 120 guards, he is also a transit envoy, and he has a kind of power, for the merchants in Lin'an, if he wants to arrest you in prison, it is very easy, as long as you are charged with price gouging, you can be arrested.
However, most merchants are still willing to cooperate with Li Yibai. Everyone knows that it is beneficial to cooperate with Li Yibai in advance. Only those merchants who did not cooperate with Li Yibai will suffer.
They can see this from the previous situation in the southern city.
'Okay. Li Jieyuan. We will never dare to deceive our superiors and subordinates and secretly resell. Please rest assured. If you find out, you can take action against us immediately. ’
Most of the merchants began to shout.
Li Yibai nodded with satisfaction, "What you said is right. I will establish a whistleblowing monitoring system. You guys can report you guys. They can send me anonymous letters, and once I find out, I will directly raid the merchant who has violated the discipline. I will confiscate his property directly, and he will be put in prison.
For the guy who reports, I will arrange to enjoy a high-paying position in the group, and a one-time reward ranging from 200 taels to 1000 taels of silver. ’
'Good. When they heard this, they applauded.
Li Yibai smiled again and waved his hand, "Everyone go to Xiaoqiang to sign up." ’
Everyone hurried to the base, for fear that they would be late
'Young master, it's not good. Now there are a large number of merchants in Lin'an who have joined Li Yibai's group. Our people also ran a lot past. What can I do? The black dragon arched his hand and said to Long Wu.
Li Yibai still attacked Lin'an. Ryugo whispered, "Then we're going to counterattack again." I don't believe I'm going to lose to him every time. This time, I must save the face I lost before. ’
The black dragon continued, "What if we take it." ’
Long Wu smiled faintly. I found that Li Yibai is indeed very skilled. He always has an abundant supply. And the goods are good and strange. But there's one thing. We have, he doesn't. ’
The black dragon was puzzled, but he knew that Long Wu was extremely intelligent, and it was not a thing in the pool, otherwise he would not be very old, following a teenager.
'Young master, please make it clear, the black dragon is dull. I want to hear the young master's opinion. ’
Long Wu continued with a faint smile and said, "Black Dragon, the more old you say, the better. ’
The black dragon thought for a moment, and said for a long time, "Is it wine?" ’
Long Wu smiled and said, "That's right, it's wine. There are old Luzhou cellars in our winery. Can Li Yibai get such good wine? ’
The black dragon's eyes lit up and he was excited, "That's right." It's still the young master who is smart. Our wine can be said to be the best in the Great Song Dynasty, but in large quantities in Luzhou. As long as we move the winery in Luzhou to Lin'an. Isn't our wine production the largest in Lin'an? ’
Long Wu smiled, "The largest output. Not unusual. The main thing is that we want to sell out. Now there are many other wines in Lin'an City. But it's still the best of the best. It's just that our prices are high, so some people choose other wines.
If Li Yibai wants to compete with me this time, I will make less money, lower the price of wine, dump it, and I will definitely defeat him. I don't believe he can get so much good wine and sell it for so little. ’
The black dragon clapped his hands and said, "The young master is clever." The young master is clever. I'll tell my subordinates to get it. At the same time, we opened more wine shops. Such is convenient for people to buy. I think if the price goes down, the whole city will come and compete for our wine. In the future, all the people of the city will drink only our wine. ’
Of course. At the same time, you inform you that other merchants are welcome to join our chamber of commerce to sell wine together. Long Wu commanded again
The next day, the wine shops of Longwu have put out new signs: the latest and best Luzhou Laojiao, 50 Wen a bottle.
'50 Wen a bottle, it's impossible. I'm not going to be dazzled. ’
'yes. Oh, yes. In the past, the Luzhou Laojiao of the Longwu family was 200 Wen a bottle, and only the rich could drink it. ’
If that's the price, then I don't have to drink my daughter's red." I drink Luzhou Laojiao every day. It's so cool. ’
The onlookers said one after another.
'Boss, is your wine really 50 wen a bottle?' One customer asked directly.
That's right, guest officer. It is indeed 50 wen a bottle. The latest notice from our young master. The shopkeeper said kindly.
'Ahh That's great. Bring me a bottle. The customer impatiently pulled out the copper coin.
'Bring me a bottle too.' I want it too. ’
'I want it too. ’
'I want two bottles.' ’
'I want three bottles. ’
These customers are starting to rush in.
'Have you heard of it, Long Wuye began to sell his Luzhou Laojiao at a low price. In the past, they were strange goods and sold them at a very high price, but now they sell them so low that they still have money to make. And invited us to join their chamber of commerce. ’
One merchant said to another.
However, I already plan to join the Li Yibai Chamber of Commerce. I don't think Fifth Master Long may be able to beat Li Yibai. Another merchant said.
'Alas. You're stupid. What kind of wine is Luzhou Laojiao, do you know? No one in the world can brew it. No matter how powerful Li Yibai is, this line of work is not so easy to do. The brewing process of Luzhou Laojiao is kept secret. No outsiders know, only the Fifth Master Long's family knows.
Where is it so easy to make good wine, it has to be passed down over hundreds of years. According to legend, the Luzhou Laojiao of the fifth master of Long Wu was handed down from the Zhuge Liang period.
So I believe in Long Wuye. Besides, Li Yibai doesn't necessarily have a wine business. I think he's focused on quirky new products. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
