Chapter 179 Weighing and Caravan(1/2)
Author: Sibai Mama
The soap business in Donggang City once again refreshed Li Qi's perception.
Often a raven flew to deliver letters in the morning, and another raven flew in the afternoon.
Buy soap.
"The nobles are really rich"
I once again confirmed Li Qi’s previous thoughts, are the poor rich? It is both troublesome and hard to make money from the poor. Whoever has more money will earn money from the nobles. If the nobles have money, they should earn money from the nobles.
"Go to Donggang City to buy a shop and open a shop?"
Li Qi looked at the latest letter and shook his head gently.
impossible!
Rent, security, etc. are all trivial matters. Going to Donggang City to do business by yourself, wastes manpower and material resources, and eventually generates income for Donggang City.
Never go.
Soap is just an introduction, what he needs is that others know about the porcupine collar and come to the porcupine collar.
Only when the caravan arrives can the economic cycle be driven.
"I guess in a short period of time, these nobles will not lack soap."
Even if you wash soap once a day, the small soap can last for one or two months.
This time, more than 160 orders were sold in Donggang City, which brought Li Qi nearly 5,000 silver-month gains.
However, this amount of money cannot be sustained. Nowadays, Porcupines spend a lot of money every day. For infrastructure, opening up work, etc., he spends 3-400 silver months every day.
There are also benefits. After the commercial area is operated, civilians will start to consume and some of the money will be returned, thereby promoting construction.
In addition to basic floor laying, house construction, etc., such as the manufacturing of farm tools in the blacksmith factory and the manufacturing of cabinet beds in the carpenter workshop, they can make money, slowing down Li Qi's daily spending.
The only problem is that there are not enough things to buy, and the porcupine is used to saving money.
“It’s the most important thing to promote consumption.”
Li Qi wrote a reply to Miss Hong Qiangwei and solemnly thanked her for her help. Anyway, she said good things but didn't spend money. She said more and praised her hard.
"It would be great if I could master the method of making perfume."
The price of soap is 30 times that Li Qi's conscience is already the limit of his conscience. At that time, he didn't expect that soap is so easy to sell. Otherwise, he might choose to price 40 silver months against his conscience. No matter how much it is, it is impossible. The price is too expensive. Some people will choose
Use perfume.
Some of the people here refer to noble men, because men don’t like to take a bath, so perfume is easy to use.
Lurea people, the highest proportion of people without body odor is absolutely no more than 10%, that is, 9 out of 10 people have body odors, so noble men will also use perfume or other methods to eliminate the smell.
Li Qi did not use perfume before, and after becoming an extraordinary person, he did not sweat much, and the smell was insulated from him.
In the evening, many people have finished their day's work.
It is also the most crowded time for the vegetable market.
Li Qi took his secretary with his small notebook to the vegetable market in the commercial area.
Since its completion, he has only seen it with Hawkeye, but has not come in person.
When people saw Li Qi, they stopped and bowed.
It was Lord Lord who brought all these changes. Li Qi's prestige in the Porcupine Corps was unmatched, even his father Liard could not do it.
Li Qi nodded slightly and sighed in his heart: "The people's customs are simple."
There is garbage and vegetable leaves on the ground, smelly mud on the ground, and littered fruit cores.
very good!
At least it is not that there is no garbage in the trash can and that people cannot lie on the bed, which means that the vegetable market is really running, not fooling yourself.
If someone really dares to do this, Li Qi doesn't mind rewarding the ten whips. Insulting the lord's wisdom, he can be severely punished and directly demoted to a slave.
It is better to treat hygiene problems slowly, and habits are cultivated bit by bit.
Some people didn't see Li Qi.
A peasant woman was holding two cabbages and arguing excitedly at the old farmer selling vegetables: "This one needs 1 bronze star, this one also needs 1 bronze star, the two are different in size."
The old farmer saw Li Qi, but Li Qi signaled him to continue doing business and just watched from the side.
I don’t understand what Li Qi means. Since the Lord of the Lord didn’t say anything, then do it the same way as you did. The old farmer said: “They are one bronze star, you can choose one you like.”
"But I want to buy two!" said the peasant woman: "But these two dishes are different in size."
The old farmer had a headache.
Then the peasant woman noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. She turned around and found the lord standing aside and watching quietly.
"Sir, I..." She was startled.
Her aggressive appearance would definitely be considered rude by the noble lord. She was a little panicked, but the vegetables were of different sizes and she was unwilling to suffer losses.
Since it is 1 bronze star, she wants two that are exactly the same size, otherwise no matter which one is small, it will be a loss.
"I just want this one." She paid for the biggest cabbage.
The entire vegetable market knew that it was coming, and all the disputes and noise that should have disappeared and became very quiet.
Knowing that he couldn't keep watching, Li Qi had to turn around and leave.
No wonder there was a private interview that I couldn’t even do business if I appeared on my own.
"In the future, when buying vegetables in the commercial area, you must weigh them, and things that are not of specific value must also be weighed." Li Qi spoke to the young secretary, and the other party immediately picked up a pen to record it, and drew the words he couldn't write, as long as he remembered it himself.
Just good: "When Qiao comes back, let him teach a group of small merchants selling vegetables."
The little secretary wrote very quickly, recording Li Qi's words.
He knew that after Qiao brought the caravan back, he needed to remind the lord himself of these things.
The Heavenly Father, among the four gods, held a scale in his hand and was considered the God of Business.
Whether it is a balance or a rod scale, they are already very mature weighing methods, but the problem is that people with porcupine collars are too poor and cannot afford to eat before. Most of them are barter and cannot read.
Now that you have money, you can buy things and say that you can buy them, both big and small, and you will feel that you have a loss.
I can't eat it and throw it away, and wait for it to rot, but I can't buy the smaller one. I'm very normal in my mind. If it were Li Qi, I thought so too.
If Li Qi could open a school and teach people some knowledge and basic writing, it could solve many problems, but it was still the same old question. If you let your children go to school to learn knowledge, why not let your children dig up dredging and pinch pots in brick kiln factories? Even if you can't go out, you can't go out.
It’s good to work and cook at home. When the family comes back from work, they can eat directly. They can also cook and do odd jobs at home.
Even if there is a precedent for apprentices in the city hall, not everyone will let their children learn.
Rather than forcing them to go to school, the apprenticeship system is the most suitable for the current environment.
You can support yourself by learning while making money.
Some key tasks that are not reasonable when you start with an apprentice, and may even help you, and you have to pay for it yourself? That's even more joking.
"It is very necessary to cultivate your own talents."
Work is divided into different levels. If you want to be promoted, have a higher status and have a higher income, you must pass the corresponding assessment.
Some people think it is good to make food and drink every day by pinching a pottery jar, but some people are not satisfied with the hard and monotonous work and want to work in the city hall. At this time, there is another way to learn, and the selected talents are also motivated.
These are just Li Qi's initial expectations. The way this idea operates is different from the Lurea era. The Lurea continent seems to have the only king, but there is no class concept of monarchy and ministers. Territory autonomy, everyone
It is the lord of his own territory.
Since there is no "unification", there is no need to select talents. It is okay to manage it anyway. Most lords are nepotistic, and a small number rely on their preferences to see each other. The bards are favored by a noble lady, and then become the chief manager of the territory.
Things are not uncommon.
On the contrary, Li Qi only manages with talented people, but instead throws Crow's talentless nobles aside, which is a very rare existence.
However, there is one thing that Li Qi cannot refute, that is, the nobles have basically received various etiquette education since childhood, and have teachers to teach them, and they are all involved in reading, reading, military, combat, etc. As long as the IQ is fine, the nobles' general knowledge and wisdom are
It's more than ordinary people.
Feudal system and distinct classes.
The son of a nobleman is a nobleman, the son of a merchant is a merchant, and the son of a slave is a slave.
Li Qi was standing by the roadside, thinking about the issue of education and talent cultivation.
The shouting in the distance attracted Li Qi's attention.
It turned out that the caravan was back.
A group of civilians surrounded them.
It is impossible for the caravan to return empty-handed, so they will naturally buy some local things, which is also the time for territorial civilians to consume.
"Everyone can go to the commercial area," Qiao shouted: "All things brought back will be sold in the commercial area."
After shouting several times, he finally persuaded the crowd to disperse.
The caravan went to the commercial area to unload goods, where they sold some goods from other areas.
To be continued...
