Chapter 1509 Chain reaction

The main reason why God chose the West after a thousand years is that the East does not believe in God and God has no obligation to take care of the East. Secondly, there is another insignificant reason, that is, there is no commercial civilization in China, and under the small peasant economy, this technology is difficult to develop.

Do you still need a car if you don’t leave the village?

Enough legs.

Does that acre of three-part land require a rice transplanter?

Enough hands.

It’s not that Chinese people are naturally not good at physiology, but later Chinese people have learned the most difficult mathematics in the world, but they just say there is no need to develop it.

There is no need to say more about technology. The products you produce with technology are sold to villagers. I spend so much private time developing technology and serving villagers. I am so careless!

But when you need to travel thousands of miles, you will think of cars.

When you have ten thousand acres of land, you just think of rice transplanters.

The reason is that simple.

The environment of the Tang Dynasty is different today. The whole country is undergoing market integration. The goods produced by Chang'an are not liked by the people of Chang'an. It doesn't matter. I bought them in Jiangnan. Jiangnan doesn't like them. I will sell them to the northwest. My Tang Dynasty is vast and there is a big food there. I don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. For example, this rice transplanter is not very useful in the north. This is completely prepared for rice. But the market in Jiangnan is so big that you can monopolize your family. Are you afraid of losing money to make money?

After the rendering of this rice transplanter, everyone gradually paid attention to the importance of technology. In the past, there was technology, and this market was just a village. Technology could not be supported by sufficient funds, resulting in weak succession and failure to make breakthroughs. But now, the market is gradually developed. One technology can make a lot of money, and the money earned can also develop technology. This is a great cycle. Therefore, many nobles hurried home to see what technology can be used to make a fortune. The technology they retained in the past was all secret recipes that were passed down for their own families. If you sell it to others, your own families can also use it. Why not do it?

At the same time, it also attracted a lot of jealousy from people. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were always jealous. Why did Han Yi manage all the departments to make money? It was really unreasonable. This made them form a tacit understanding and resolutely deny the application for bicycles. You can't take advantage of it alone, unless you can share some benefits for us.

Han Yi did not disappoint them, and soon the proposal on bicycles was presented.

This kid is really ignorant and too aggressive. Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and looked at it, and he was speechless.

Han Yi wrote this on the application. The rice transplanter used chains at the beginning, so many chains were made in the process of developing rice transplanters. Now rice transplanters do not need chains. Those chains are placed there and there is no place to use them. This is a waste. Why not sell them and make the cost back? And it also guarantees that the chain technology is not sold to the public and only sells the bicycle franchise. Xu Jingzong doesn’t care about this. The key is that the later point is that half of the money earned from the transfer rights is calculated in next year’s budget.

Having said that, can Xu Jingzong agree? If he doesn't agree, Han Yi will definitely have a meeting again. You don't have to think about it. They will support Han Yi. If there is a place to use the chain there, why not sell it? The bicycle rack does not require any technology, and it can save the country a lot of expenses. Although he is reluctant, Han Yi's application can only be approved.

Now, the most joyful thing in Chang'an is the Sixth Court of the Sage. The bicycle approval has been approved again. The craftsmen are so excited that they almost fainted. One invention can make a thousand guan. You should tell me earlier that we must go day and night. How could it be delayed until today? How much time has it been wasted?

This is incredible.

The entire Sixth Academy of Sages was presented in a vast ocean of joy, and everyone felt full of motivation. This was so exciting, and I felt that I was such a genius.

Even Li Chunfeng was very happy. When he saw Han Yi coming, he immediately said, "Shangshu Han is here today. Could it be that he is here to prepare for a celebration banquet?"

He believed that with Han Yi's personality, he would definitely hold a celebration banquet.

Han Yi laughed and said, "I want to hide it from Mr. Li. I want to do this celebration banquet than anyone else, and the bigger the one, the better, but today is not the time."

Li Chunfeng said curiously: "Why?"

Han Yi said depressedly: "I just cried in the Political Affairs Hall so hard that I cried with tears. If I turn my back and start a party, eat, drink and have fun, what will people think? This will definitely cause public outrage. Now we must keep a low profile. There are many people outside who are jealous of us."

Li Chunfeng nodded: "It's reasonable to say it, it's a big surprise to say it's a tree!"

"But what should be rewarded still have to be rewarded." Han Yi said: "When the end of the year, I will give some rewards to some meritorious people, but I will pay the money privately. In addition, I will have some meat tonight, so this celebration banquet is bound to be indispensable."

Li Chunfeng said curiously: "Why do you have to pay for your own money? They are all officials and should be rewarded by the court."

Han Yi said: "You can't say that. They are good at it. I have a bright face. The Sixth House of Sages was opened by my Majesty. Now that I am so successful, it is equivalent to fulfilling my promise I made to Your Majesty that day. The general led troops outside to fight and made meritorious contributions. The general also rewarded him privately, because the court will only count the merits on the head of the superior."

"That's right." Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "There is a question. I want to discuss with you how to allocate this thousand guan. This rice transplanter is mainly from the School of Engineering, you see."

What this means is that should be rewarded based on merit and practice? Let the School of Engineering take the lead.

Han Yi shook his head and said, "The reason why the Six Sages of the Sages is called the Six Sages is that they are indispensable and must go hand in hand. If one subject is lost, the other five subjects will be limited. How to use this fund depends on the needs and just allocate it reasonably. But now it is not the time to settle the account. I don't think it will take long to buy the bicycle to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clerk walked in and said, "Report to the Minister of State, Mr. Yuwen is asking for a meeting?"

Han Yi was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Which Mr. Yuwen?"

"It's Yuwen Xiumi, the eldest son of Xincheng County Bo."

"Xincheng County Uncle?" Han Yi felt that he was familiar with him.

Li Chunfeng was speechless and reminded: "It was General Yuwen Sengni, the eldest son of General Yuwen. He was originally a Duke of Xincheng County. He was impeached by you for the usury incident and demoted to the No. 1 of Xincheng County."

"Yes, yes!" Han Yi patted his forehead and said, "I remembered it."

Li Chunfeng wondered, "What is he here to do?"

Han Yi said, "Didn't we have said everything just now? This person will come soon."

"Is it possible--!" Li Chunfeng said: "But you have had a holiday with his father, this--!"

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "What is the holiday? After all, the word "money" is still at work. It was a frustration for money, but now it is reconciled for money. Isn't that true? The person who tied the bell to untie it! Come in quickly and invite Mr. Yuwen in."

After the clerk retreated, Li Chunfeng suddenly said, "This Yuwen Xiumi is a famous playboy in Chang'an. She is not doing her job well all day long. I don't think he is a businessman either."

Han Yi said: "Why don't Li Taishi think so? If the deal is settled, there will be one more businessman in Chang'an and one less playboy who causes trouble. Isn't this great merit?"

Li Chunfeng was stunned, stroked his beard and laughed, "Brother Han is really a wonderful word!"

After a while, a white-faced young man entered the hall, with his sword-faced eyebrows and starry eyes, his face as jade as a crown, handsome and elegant, wearing a white shirt, a long sword on his waist, and a smile that seemed to be there and nothing to do with his mouth. At this glance, he knew he was a playboy, and there was no suspense.

"Xu Mi has met Shangshu Han and Taishi Li."

Yuwen Xiumi came to the middle and bowed to Han Yi. Li Chunfeng looked respectful.

Li Chunfeng knew that Han Yi had guessed correctly, and this kid was probably coming for a bicycle.

Han Yi just smiled faintly and said, "Please sit down." After that, his hand slightly led to the seat next to him.

"Thank you!"

Yuwen Xiumi sat down.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Chunfeng's eyes. Han Yi's tone was so plain, but Yuwen Xiumi's face did not even have any anger. She looked respectful and had a polite manner, which was different from the legendary domineering arrogance!

Han Yi asked, "Young Master Yuwen suddenly visited me, I wonder why?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "I am here today, because I have something to ask for."

Han Yi said, "Don't talk about the word 'please'. I'm embarrassed to refuse you at that time. You should talk about what's going on first."

Yuwen Xiumi was not annoyed when she heard this, but instead smiled happily and said, "That's right. I had the honor of seeing Han Shangshu wandering around the city on a bicycle. I was so envious at that time that I dreamed of owning a bicycle. Two days ago, I saw the Datang Daily mentioned that the technology of bicycles had become more perfect, so I wanted to ask if this bicycle can also be sold to others like a rice transplanter."

Han Yi smiled and said, "What? Are you interested?"

Yuwen Xiumi nodded.

"It is OK to sell, and the court allows it. However, this bicycle is a bit different from a rice transplanter. The core technology of the bicycle, that is, the chain, is a state secret and cannot be leaked. Therefore, in the transaction of bicycles, merchants can only purchase franchise rights from us. That is to say, once cooperation is reached, our Sixth Academy of Sages will only sell finished chains to one person."

Yuwen Xiumi nodded and smiled, "No problem."

"But I have a problem." Han Yi said: "This is not selling drawings, but a kind of cooperation. The Sixth Academy of Sages has to choose a reliable partner. Of course, I don't care about age, because I am also young, and this age is not a problem, but you also have to come up with some reasons to convince me."

Yuwen Xiumi smiled and said, "I am a famous playboy in Chang'an."

Han Yi smiled deeper and said, "What?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "If you talk about those poems and songs, you will probably not be able to get on the table if you want to play. But when it comes to playing, you have some experience. Isn't the bicycle just for people to have fun? Moreover, ordinary people can't afford it. Most of the people who buy it are also playboys like me. I am very familiar with these people, including those from Luoyang. I know what they like. Therefore, if Han Shangshu handed over the bicycle, he would definitely not disappoint you."

After hearing this, Han Yi said expressionlessly, "Then how much are you planning to pay?"

"Five hundred jin. But just like the Yuan family, they use materials to count."

"Five hundred stag?" Han Yi smiled and said, "Do you know how much the rice transplanter costs?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "I originally planned to produce a thousand coins, but Han Shangshu just said that the chain technology will not be handed over to outsiders, which will naturally be greatly reduced. Moreover, the Sixth Academy of Sages sells chains. Will it not make money?"

Han Yi said hee, and the tone of the conversation changed suddenly, saying, "I really didn't expect you to be good at bargaining!"

Yuwen Xiumi immediately revealed his true colors and laughed: "I will not hide it from Shangshu Han. I have memorized Han Shangshu's economics and written it much more interesting than those scriptures."

This flattery is really clever! It is a talent! Han Yi smiled and said, "If Mr. Yuwen is really interested, go back and make a detailed plan. After all, once you cooperate, it will be related to the interests of both parties."

Yuwen Xiumi was overjoyed when she heard this. He knew that his words touched Han Yi and hurriedly said, "I promise that I will not disappoint Han Shangshu."

Xu Jingzong made a lot of calculations, but in the end he was fooled by Han Yi. The bicycle sales rights were sold in one go, and no matter how much they were, there were only so many. The key lies in the interests of the chain, which was lasting and monopoly.

After Yuwen Xiumi left, Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "You must not behave like a person!"

Han Yi said: "Everyone has his own strengths, and dandy is no exception."

Li Chunfeng said: "So, are you planning to cooperate with him?"
