Chapter 910 Thank you again for the 20,000 money from the leader of the Mo Cui Party
Wei Yunqiu went to change clothes and followed him. . The fastest update
Li Chao stood in front of the urinal, and Wei Yunqi took the initiative to help Li Chao hold his robe. "The toilet in Lao Linggong Castle is also very strange. It can accommodate ten people at a time. Especially this urinal, which is hung on the wall, is actually ceramic. It is really luxurious."
Pottery was still very valuable in this era. Most people only use pottery and cannot afford ceramics. However, in Li Chao’s father’s castle, he actually used ceramics to make a urinal in the toilet.
"Actually, this is not valuable. You know that our Li family's Jingdezhen ceramics are quite famous. When we were repairing the castle, we called some people to build brick cellars. Later, we built ceramic cellars and made a batch of ceramic urinals.
To the Li family, ceramics are nothing more than earth.
But even Wei Yunqi, who was born in the wealthy family of Jingzhao, dared not regard ceramics as soil.
After urinating, he threw it a few times, Li Chao tidied up his clothes and washed his hands aside. Wei Yunqi released the water himself, and he felt much more comfortable after he put it in.
Next to it is the sink.
There is also a soap box next to the pool, which contains soap. There is tap water in the pool. Turn on the faucet and the water will flow out naturally.
Feeling this incomparable convenience, Wei Yunqi was amazed. The wealthy family of Wei’s family was not so luxurious. Look at the toilet of the Li family.
The urinal is ceramic, and there are ten places inside, all with screen partitions and toilets inside, all of which are ceramic, and their toilets and urinals are flushed.
After using it, press it and flush it automatically without leaving any dirty.
The toilet was always burning incense, and there was no smell of odor.
There are towels, soap, and natural water at the sink. There is also a large bronze mirror hanging on the wall.
The head of the eight nobles, Bashang Li, is indeed a white horse that makes a horse with gold, and pearls are like earth, gold and iron.
A castle with a circumference of three miles was created in just half a year.
The architectural style of this castle is very different from the traditional ones. It has a sense of grandeur everywhere and is sturdy.
How much does it cost to such a castle?
But thinking about the wealth of Li in Bashang, there is nothing left. Anyway, the Li family will spend money and make money. Today, the mutual trading agreement negotiated with Xi and Khitan will definitely be very prosperous in the future. With Li Ji's ability, what kind of goods should be organized and transported? What kind of goods should the Hu people be unable to eat?
Li Chao even said just now that Li Ji wanted to build a slaughterhouse, milk powder factory, jerky factory, meat canned factory, leather factory, wool spinning factory, medicinal material factory, etc.
Once these workshops are built, there will definitely be a lot of money by then.
Wei Yunqi plans to pay for two shares here, or build shops or workshops by himself. Anyway, following Li Chao's footsteps, he will definitely not lose money.
However, what he is most concerned about now is not the matter of making money. Making money can make money at any time, and it is not an urgent task.
"Prince, we only sent 20,000 troops, but Xi Qi sent 60,000 troops. Isn't it wrong?" Wei Yunqi put on his hands soap and was rubbing his hands full of soap.
The soap exudes a nice smell, and as the bubbles continue to rub, the hands become cleaner and cleaner.
"What are you afraid of? After we showed our military power today, the Khitans and the Xi people no longer had the fighting spirit and survived in the cracks between great powers. They could only choose one side to rely on. In the current situation of the Turks, do you think they will continue to be loyal to the Turks? Relying on us is their only choice. Don't say that we show the power of the firearm today, even if there is no, they will not dare to do anything."
Besides, I didn’t reach a trade agreement with them just now.
Relying on the Tang Dynasty, reconciliation and opening up border markets to trade together, is beneficial to both sides. Li Chao also distributed dividends to the two chiefs, so where can I find such a good thing?
Li Chao also agreed to them that as long as they sent troops to assist the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Yugu and seize the southern part of the Mo, Li Chao would submit to the court and the emperor to the emperor for the title of the two Dukes.
Later, Xi and Khitan became the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Dongnu Kingdom.
Back to the banquet hall.
The conversation between Li Chao and Su Zhi and others became more relaxed and happy. Li Chao took the initiative to propose to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Xi and Khitan tribes.
Not only is it simply buying their livestock, fur, and dairy products, Li Chao also plans to pay for it to directly build a ranch in their territory, select some high-quality livestock to buy, and then hand it over to them for raising it. After it is raised, it will be transported to the Central Plains.
In addition, they directly establish fur processing plants, slaughterhouses, produce jerky floss, and directly establish milk powder factories.
In short, it is to increase their supply, reduce transportation costs, and even mine within their territory, etc.
In-depth cooperation, win-win and mutual benefit.
The Li family makes more money, and these chiefs make more money, and Su Zhi and Duluo, as the chiefs, can also draw another sum from it.
"Come on, toast for our cooperation!" Li Chao raised his glass.
Suzhi, Duluo and other chiefs also raised their glasses and said, "Do."
The prospects depicted by Li Chao are so wonderful, there is no war, only a beautiful life.
In the future, their cattle, sheep, livestock, etc. will greatly increase their value. Many people don’t understand the value, but when it comes to being more valuable, they all understand it.
Li Chao told them that their cattle and sheep will become more valuable in the future, while the Central Plains products they bought will be cheaper.
They don’t need to rob them at all. They can make a lot of money by selling fur and livestock every year with their own grazing cattle and sheep. If they add fur from hunting wild animals, they can make a lot of money. If they add herbs, they can make another money.
They can use these to exchange everything from the hands of the Han people.
Tea, salt, cloth, even iron pots, knives, ropes, wooden bowls, etc. Use cattle and sheep to exchange carriages, and use wool to exchange cloth and silk
Just grazing with peace of mind, hunting occasionally, then selling cattle and sheep, and selling fur, you can get more products for them.
Life will be very rich and life will be very good.
There is no need to be afraid of vain in the future, and no matter how big the healing is, they don’t need to keep many sheep, keep the female animals and the baby, and the other old and weak males can almost be slaughtered in advance or sold directly to Han merchants.
Then they will have enough hay to spend the winter.
They will have enough tea, so they don’t have to worry about eating succulent diseases. They will also have good salt, even honey barbecue, and warm and comfortable clothes.
It is indeed a life that people yearn for.
Of course, under the cooperation model of Li Chao, the leaders of the big chiefs and small chief tribes can also get more share. This model is very beneficial to each of them.
What reason should I object?
Many times, nomadic tribes plunder other tribes, but in fact, they are more likely to suffer disasters and lack the ability to withstand disasters.
Su Zhi secretly made up the bill. No matter whether the tribes of the Xi tribe went south to this territory for transactions or the Han people went to their places to invest and cooperate, he could divide each business. The more business he had, the more he got.
This is actually the form of a pyramid, a bit similar to direct sales. Suzhi is at the highest point of his team. He has to share the money he earns. The more he goes offline, the more he earns.
Of course he wanted more of this kind of transaction.
And compared with the days under the Turks in the past, it is extremely important.
Under the Turkic people, there is no such statement that the Turkic people are divided into such a statement. The Turkic people directly assigned tax officials and collected taxes regularly. If they encounter disasters or wars, they would have to increase taxes.
But no matter what your life or death.
Therefore, compared with the two, Su Zhi really likes Li Chao's model from the bottom of his heart.
Following the Turks, he had to collect taxes on his tribe for the Turks and bear the reputation of complaining and infamy. But now, the tribe members can get a lot of benefits in the transaction with the Tang people, and he can still make a fortune. Especially the share of the money he earned was not collected directly from the tribe members, but Li Chao gave him another share from the money he earned.
Not only can you get benefits, but you can't be criticized, and you can even be praised by the tribe. Where can you find such good things? If you don't agree, you will be devils.
Everyone was very happy to drink this wine. Su Zhi and Duluo were both drunk. They were happy and no one could stop them.
When someone carried them back to rest, Li Chao wiped his face and felt a little drunk.
My father also blushed, "We trade with them, the court will not object, right?"
"Why do you object? No matter how much money we make in our territory, we still have to pay taxes according to law. In the end, one-third of the tax law will be paid to the court. The more we make, the happier the court will be. If everyone just planted a few acres of land and did not issue some industry and commerce, how many taxes could the court collect in a year?"
Dad thinks about it, too.
If the border areas are not traded for border areas to make money, they will not even pay the cost of the territory castle by recruiting people to reclaim land and farming and collecting the land tax.
Wei Yunqi came to find Li Chao again in the evening and decided to take Li Chao to ride and invest money in.
"What project do you want to do?" Li Chao asked.
Li Chao didn't find it strange that Wei Yunqi wanted to make money. People in the Tang Dynasty were not afraid of talking about money. From nobles to farmers, they were very calm about it.
"I don't understand this. I have 20,000 guan in my hand. It turns out that it also exists in Li Ji Money House. I plan to take it out for Li Xiang this time. It doesn't matter what business it does. Anyway, I know that I won't lose money with Li Xiang."
This method is indeed simple.
Wei Yunqi recognizes people but not things, so this is easy to deal with.
"It's okay. Then you invest money here. I'll choose a few good projects and give you a share. What do you think?"
"No problem, I'll just sit and wait for the dividends." Wei Yunqi smiled. He was too lazy to interfere in this specific matter.
"Prime Minister, when will we send troops?"
Li Chao thought about it and it was mid-May now, and the weather was just starting to be hot, but it wasn't too hot. This time is also a good time to send troops. In a few days, it will be less suitable to send troops when it gets hot.
Generally speaking, it is better to send troops in autumn. Now, the horse is still a little thin, but it is just right now, so you can't wait for Ye Hu to settle the Western Regions back.
"Prepare it, three days later."
