Chapter 385: Baibao Zhai
Li Er personally spoke, and naturally no one dared to fight.
The nobles could only watch as the guards stepped forward and carried away this valuable treasure that was enough to be an heirloom.
If nothing else, this treasure will appear in the palace of the eldest grandson.
Looking at everyone's regret and regret, and the sad color of beating their chests, Li Yunze laughed directly here.
The things he can take out and sell are all selected and can be produced in Datang.
What is not something that Datang can produce is theoretically not for sale.
It's not impossible to forcibly leapfrog the development of technology, but you can't jump too much.
Glass mirrors are indeed rare treasures in Datang, but in the face of modern technology, they are not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing that the fitting mirror was properly kept and transported away, Li Er, who was satisfied, said to Li Yunze, "What is the price of such treasures, just say it bluntly." β
"It's not a treasure, it's not worth any money."
Li Yunze, who smiled kindly, said: "If Your Majesty really wants to bid, then how about exempting the store from the market tax for one year?" In addition, please ask Your Majesty to inscribe, how about the title of the book for this store? β
Li Erhan, who likes calligraphy, nodded with a smile, "Yes." β
The commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty was not high, and merchants without shops collected commercial tax, which was only one-thirtieth of their income.
However, if there is a shop, the first thing to do is to collect the foreign merchant tax, that is, the foreign merchants who came through the Silk Road had to pay this tax first.
Then there's the city tax.
For example, the east and west markets of Chang'an City, entering them to do business have to pay city tax.
If the goods are transported through various city checkpoints, they have to pay customs duties, which are later called cents.
What Li Yunze wants to be exempted from is the customs tax.
Almost without hesitation, Li Er was ready to come down.
But over there, Fang Xuanling hurriedly spoke out before Li Er could speak, "One year, three months at most." β
Others may not know much about Li Yunze, but Fang Xuanling knows that this person has always taken advantage of him when he seems to be at a loss, and now that he wants to be tax-free, it must be a lot of money.
Now that there is going to be a war, there is a shortage of money everywhere in the court, and Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, said that he could not let go of the opportunity to eat a big family.
In front of so many nobles, Li Er naturally couldn't lose face.
Under the signal of a vague gaze, Fang Xuanling came out of the crowd and bargained seriously with Li Yunze.
In the end, the two sides agreed that Li Yunze would present a treasure fitting mirror in exchange for being exempted from the market tax for half a year.
When the matter was negotiated and everyone was about to take a look at the other treasures, Li Yunze clapped his hands, and immediately some guys came out with a two-meter-high fitting mirror.
Still in the previous position, Li Yunze signaled to everyone, "Fifty sides are accepted, and each family is limited to three sides." β
"It's only fifty..."
Someone in the crowd muttered, saying that Li Er's face was hot.
For fifty yuan, the commercial tax was exempted for half a year, which is really a big loss.
Qin Qiong, who did not participate in the war against the Huns because of physical reasons, asked "Why is the purchase of three sides restricted?" β
"Because I'm worried that you will take advantage of the information gap to sell it." Li Yunze sincerely stated: "Fifty guan is sold to you, and you are sold to five hundred guan to foreign merchants who do not know that this thing can be supplied in large quantities, this matter is extremely inappropriate." β
Hearing this, the nobles' eyes lit up.
Fifty sides are definitely not expensive, or even very cheap.
Sell it for 500 yuan and sell it outside, and this business can be done.
When the nobles were around the guys to register information and book the fitting mirror, Li Yunze walked up to Li Er, who had a stinky face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the business tax, how about I give the kerosene lamp on Suzaku Street again." β
"Huh?"
Li Er looked at the kerosene lamp that Li Yunze brought over suspiciously, "What do you mean?" β
"On both sides of Suzaku Street, kerosene lamps are placed every ten feet. Wait until it gets dark and light it up, and Suzaku Street will be lit up into a bright and bright heavenly street. It is windproof and waterproof, and will not be extinguished in rain and wind. Another year's share of kerosene, free of charge. β
Hearing this, Li Er immediately nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good." β
Fang Xuanling, who had suffered a loss before, decided to seize the opportunity to pit Li Yunze, and after the two discussed this time, Fang Xuanling quietly marked the interval of the kerosene lamps on Suzaku Street as a small ruler.
There were two kinds of weights and measures in the Tang Dynasty, one was a small ruler, ten feet and one zhang was three meters.
There is also a large ruler, ten feet and one zhang is three meters six.
If you use a small ruler, it means that there are many more kerosene lamps and kerosene to consume.
On the surface, Fang Xuanling did use this method to give Li Yunze more money. But in fact, he didn't know what it meant to be free, and it was the most expensive.
It seems that Li Yunze paid money and efforts to do a night beautification project for Suzaku Street, but in fact, this is a large-scale advertisement with a length of five kilometers.
When the people of Chang'an City see the brightness and benefits of kerosene lamps, they will naturally promote the sales of kerosene lamps, and then spread and promote them to other places.
At that time, it will not only be a matter of earning back the capital.
The product presentation continues.
Li Yunze introduced the glass one after another, looking at the glass that was the same as the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine. Glass bottles, transparent bottles capable of holding alcoholic beverages. Glass bowl, when drinking tea, you can clearly see the tea leaves in the water carrying and floating transparent bowls.
γ
In addition, there are the highlight of the glass windows, compared with the windows of the paper lake now, the glass windows are not only better sealed, but also the most important thing is the light transmission performance to throw out the window paper nine streets.
This is the improvement of the quality of life brought about by scientific and technological breakthroughs.
If the problem of producing glass is solved, a large number of glass products will quickly spread to the market and improve the living environment.
As for some other handicrafts of glass products, they are more used as decorations, and Li Yunze casually introduced them and didn't pay attention to them.
Under the leadership of Li Yunze, everyone stepped up to the second floor.
As soon as you enter the second floor, you can see a beautifully crafted carriage in the center.
Compared to traditional horse-drawn carriages, the most distinctive feature of this carriage is its four wheels.
However, when I saw the nobles in the carriage, I was not too excited.
After all, there is a technology about four-wheeled carriages, which has been obtained by Datang as early as possible, and even the carts that transport materials in the army are quickly replaced with four-wheeled ones.
Li Yunze stepped forward and opened the car door, and motioned to the car, "Everyone, you can go up and try it." β
With Li Er here, no one dared to jump out to eat crabs, so they could only ask Li Er to start a meat meal first.
Li Er also took the lead, stepped into the carriage and sat on the leather cushion.
"Huh?"
His dragon belly immediately felt a different feeling, the feeling of being fluffy and soft and wanting to resist and welcome was something he had never experienced before.
The carriage must have been seated before, but the inside of the carriage before was either wooden planks or slightly softer wrapped in silk, and the interior space was small and the light was dim.
At this time, the carriage not only has spacious and extremely comfortable seats, but also has a lot of space inside, so it is no problem to lie down directly.
What's more, the carriage is made of appliquΓ© glass on both sides, which is very good in terms of lighting.
When Li Er came down, everyone rushed up, wanting to feel the difference of the novelty.
Li Yunze did not explain how outstanding the technical craftsmanship of this carriage is, and how important the technological breakthrough of the shock-absorbing elastic suspension system and steering bearings is.
He made it clear that it was useless, the nobles didn't care about these things, they only cared about whether they looked good and had a row, and whether they were comfortable to sit on.
Therefore, the sofa with shock-absorbing elastic yellow sits comfortably, and the carriage uses gold and silver threads, which are specially made in the direction of beauty, which is the kind that makes people marvel at a glance.
It was clear that the nobles were very satisfied with such a magnificent carriage, especially after learning that they could also customize their respective family crests.
"Three hundred yuan is definitely a friendly price. First served, first served, if it's late, then wait in line at the back. β
In terms of the technology and production capabilities provided by Li Yunze, there is no problem in providing hundreds of finished products in one go.
But the problem is that the nobles only seek the expensive and not the good.
If you take out too much at once, it won't be unique and different, so using this kind of pre-sales hunger marketing will make the nobles rush to it.
is still the same sentence, good things have to be picked by Li Er first.
Li Er was very satisfied with such a comfortable and well-lined carriage, and immediately ordered ten.
In the midst of the lamentations of the crowd, an untimely reprimand sounded: "The country is fighting a decisive battle with the Turks at this time, and every penny is extremely precious, and His Majesty actually uses it to buy such a luxurious and useless thing, it is really not as good as Mingjun!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sound of inhalation all around.
Dare to say Li Er like this, there is only one person in the entire Datang.
That's right, Wei Zheng is here.
"I didn't send him an invitation." Li Yunze immediately drew a line: "I knew that Wei Zheng was a poor ghost, so I didn't invite him to come." β
Everyone laughed when they said this, and Li Er, who was originally angry because he was scolded, was also laughed at.
Wei Zheng came out of the crowd and walked in front of Li Er and saluted, "Your Majesty, when this country is fighting, you don't make a decision in the palace, but you come to this golden cave to spend a huge amount of money to buy useless things, is this what Ming Jun did?" β
Li Er's face was ugly, and Fang Xuanling and the others would not jump out of the ring with Wei Zheng at this time, if Wei Zheng came to say 'flattering villain', he would not be alive.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yunze.
Catching up with Wei Zheng's gaze, Li Yunze shrugged, "I'm in business, everyone is willing to buy it, what does it have to do with me?" β
Wei Zheng naturally knew Li Yunze, and knew that this person had provided a lot of materials and technology for Datang, and he was considered a meritorious person, so he didn't spray it.
"Your Majesty is the emperor immediately, so you don't need these carriages." Li Yunze said again, "The reason why I bought the carriage is for the use of the emperor and the concubines, which is your majesty's filial piety." β
Li Er's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, "That's right, that's right." β
The matter involves filial piety, and Wei Zheng has no way to criticize in this regard, filial piety is xx correct.
Everyone around responded one after another, saying that they were the same, and they were all bought for their parents and elders to use Yunyun.
As for whose parents and elders are no longer there, it is difficult to buy it back because they want to burn it or something, and no one will bring up this kind of topic at this time to make enemies.
Wei Zheng, who had a dark face, looked around, walked to a glass counter, and signaled, "Aren't the red, green, and green in these bottles wine?" Don't you know that Datang is now banned from alcohol? β
"Duke Wei misunderstood."
Li Yunze stepped forward with a smile, "This is not a drink, these things are called perfumes." β
