Lord of Rot

Chapter 179 Weighing and Caravan

The soap business in Donggang City once again refreshed Li Qi's cognition.

Often a raven flies in the morning to deliver a message, and another raven flies in the afternoon.

Add soap.

"The nobles are really rich"

Reconfirmed Li Qi's previous thoughts, do poor people have money?Earning the money of the poor is troublesome and hard work. Whoever has the most money earns his money. If the nobles have money, they should earn the nobles' money.

"Go to Donggang City to buy a shop and open a shop?"

Li Qi looked at the latest letter and shook his head slightly.

impossible!
Rent, security, etc. are trivial matters. Going to Donggang City to do business by yourself is a waste of manpower and material resources, and will eventually generate income for Donggang City.

Resolutely not to go.

The soap was just an introduction, what he needed was for other people to know about the porcupine collar and come to the porcupine collar.

Only when the caravan comes can it drive the economic cycle.

"It is estimated that in a short time, this group of nobles will not be short of soap."

Even if you wash the soap once a day, the small soap can last for a month or two.

This time, more than 160 copies of the order from East Harbor City were sold, bringing Li Qi nearly 5000 silver-month income.

But this little money can't support the current porcupine leader who spends a lot of money every day. For infrastructure, open work, etc., he will spend 3-400 silver months every day.

There is also an advantage. After the business district is put into operation, civilians start to consume, and part of the money will flow back, thereby promoting construction.

In addition to basic ground laying, house construction, etc., such as the manufacture of agricultural tools in the blacksmith factory and the manufacture of cabinet beds in the carpenter workshop, they can all make money, which slows down the speed of Li Qi's daily spending.

The only problem is that there isn't enough to buy, and porcupine collars are used to saving money.

"The most important thing is to promote consumption."

Li Qi wrote a reply letter to Miss Hong Qiangwei, and solemnly thanked her for her help. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things, so say more and praise.

"It would be nice if I could master how to make perfume."

30 times the price of soap is already the limit of Li Qi's conscience. At that time, he didn't expect soap to be so easy to sell, otherwise he might choose to set a price of 40 silver months against his conscience. Use perfume.

Some people here refer to aristocratic men, because men don't like to take a bath, and perfume is convenient to use.

Among the Lurea people, the highest proportion of no body odor is definitely no more than 10%, that is, 10 out of 9 people have body odor, so noble men will also use perfume or other methods to eliminate the smell.

Li Qi didn't use perfume before, and after becoming a transcendent, he didn't sweat much, and the smell was insulated from him.

In the evening, many people have finished their work for the day.

It is also the time when the vegetable market is most crowded.

Li Qi took the secretary with a small notebook to the vegetable market in the business district.

Since it was completed, he has only seen it through the eagle's eye, but has not been there in person.

When people saw Li Qi, they all stopped and bowed to salute.

It was the lord who brought about all these changes. Li Qi's prestige in the porcupine collar was unparalleled, not even his father Lild.

Li Qi nodded slightly, and sighed in his heart: "The folk customs are simple."

There are garbage and vegetable leaves on the ground, there is smelly mud on the ground, and there are littered fruit cores.

very good!

At least it's not that there should be no garbage in the trash can, and no people can lie on the bed, which means that the vegetable market is really working, not fooling yourself.

If someone really dared to do this, Li Qi didn't mind rewarding him with ten whips. He could be punished heavily for insulting the wisdom of the lord, and it would be fine to demote him directly to slavery.

Hygienic problems can be solved slowly, and habits are cultivated little by little.

Some people didn't see Li Qi.

A peasant woman was holding two cabbages and arguing excitedly to the old farmer selling vegetables: "This one costs 1 Bronze Star, and this one also needs 1 Bronze Star. They are not the same size."

The old farmer saw Li Qi, but Li Qi motioned him to continue his business, just watching from the sidelines.

I didn't understand what Li Qi meant. Since the lord didn't say anything, then just follow his original method. The old farmer said: "They are 1 Bronze Star, you can choose the one you like."

"But I want to buy two!" the peasant woman said, "But the two dishes are of different sizes."

The old farmer had a headache.

Then the peasant woman noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, she turned around and found the lord who was standing aside and watching quietly.

"My lord, I..." She was taken aback.

Her aggressive appearance would definitely be considered disrespectful by the noble lord. She was a little flustered, but the vegetables were of different sizes, so she didn't want to suffer.

Since there are 1 copper star and 1, she wants two of the same size, otherwise no matter which one is smaller, it will be a loss.

"I'll just have this one." She paid for the biggest cabbage.

The entire vegetable market knew that he was coming, and all the disputes and hustle and bustle that should have disappeared, and became very quiet.

Knowing that he couldn't continue watching, Li Qi had no choice but to turn around and leave.

No wonder there is a private interview on Weibo that if you show up by yourself, you can't do business.

"In the future, when buying vegetables in the vegetable market in the commercial area, you must weigh them, and you must also weigh things of non-specific value." Li Qi said to the secretary, and the other party immediately picked up a pen to record, and drew words that he couldn't write, as long as he remembered Just like: "After Joe comes back, let him teach a group of small merchants who sell vegetables."

The little secretary wrote quickly, recording Li Qi's words.

He knew that after Joe came back with the caravan, he needed to remind the lord of these things by himself.

The heavenly father among the four gods holds a balance and is considered the god of commerce.

Whether it is a balance or a steelyard, it is already a very mature weighing method, but the problem is that the people in the porcupine collar are too poor.

Now that I have money at hand, if I buy things and then discuss the purchases, whether big or small, I will feel that I am losing money.

I can't eat it and throw it away until it rots, but I can't buy the smaller one. My psychology is very normal, and Li Qi thinks the same way.

If Li Qi can open a school and teach people some knowledge and basic characters, many problems can be solved, but it is still the same old-fashioned problem, let the children go to school to learn knowledge, why not let the children go to the brick kiln factory to dig mud and make clay pots?Even if you don't go out to work, it's fine to cook at home. When the family members come back from work, they can eat directly.You can also cook and do chores at home.

Even if there is a precedent of apprentices in the city hall, not everyone will let their children learn.

Instead of forcing them to go to school, the apprenticeship system is the most suitable for the current situation.

Earn money while studying, and you can support yourself when you become a teacher.

It is unreasonable for some key jobs to be done by apprentices, and it may even be a disservice, and you have to pay yourself?That would be even more of a joke.

"Cultivating your own talents is very necessary."

Jobs are divided into three, six, and nine grades. If you want to be promoted, have a higher status, and have a higher income, you must pass the corresponding assessment.

Some people think that it is good to earn a living by kneading clay pots every day, but some people are not satisfied with the hard and monotonous work, but also want to work in the city hall. At this time, they are given a learning path, and the selected talents are also motivated.

These are just Li Qi's preliminary predictions. The way this set of ideas works is different from that of Lurea's era. There seems to be only one king in the Lurea continent at present, but there is no class concept of monarch, minister and subject. Territory autonomy, everyone Is the lord of his own territory.

Since there is no "unification", there is no need to select talents, and you can manage them however you want. Most of the leaders are nepotism, and a few rely on their preferences. The situation is not uncommon.

On the contrary, Li Qi only manages with talented people, and instead leaves aside the incompetent nobles like Crowe, which is a very small number of existence.

However, there is one thing that Li Qi can't refute, that is, the nobles basically received all kinds of etiquette education from an early age. is beyond ordinary people.

Feudal system with 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 stood by the side of the road, thinking about education and training talents.

The distant shouts caught Li Qi's attention.

It turned out that the caravan had returned.

A group of civilians surrounded it.

It is impossible for the caravan to return empty-handed. Naturally, they will also buy some local things. This is also the time for the civilians in the territory to consume.

"Everyone can go to the commercial area," Joe shouted: "All the things you bring back will be sold in the commercial area."

After shouting several times, the crowd was finally persuaded to disperse.

The caravan goes to the commercial area to unload, where some goods from other regions are sold.

"Good night, my lord!" Qiao walked up to Li Qi, rubbed his chest and bent over.

"It just so happens that I want you to do something." Li Qi happily patted Joe on the shoulder.

Ever since he got his revenge, Joe's heart knot has been untied, and now he only wants to repay Li Qi's work, and at the same time, the porcupine collar has also shown him infinite possibilities, and his caravan is now quite famous.

"Yes!"

The two chatted and walked towards the castle.

Li Qi asked, "By the way, how about the Porcupine brand soap?"

He was still waiting for the success of Lintawan's replica of Roaring Castle, but Li Qi was very surprised that there was no letter from Lintawan.

There shouldn't be such a big gap between nobles and nobles.

"I gave the soap to Miss Stacy and the others, but the lady didn't say anything."

"Uh"

Li Qi suddenly thought of a possibility.

Would Stacey not have discovered the benefits of soap at all!

Thinking about it carefully, as an extraordinary person, Stacy doesn't have body odor at all. She usually trains every day and doesn't use perfume.

"No, what about Fami Pott, she doesn't say anything?"

"Miss Pott is sick, and seems to be in bed all the time."

This can be regarded as winking to the blind man.

He still wanted to make a fortune among the nobles in Lintawan, but this is currently impossible.

"But there is good news, my lord." Joe said with a smile: "I met a businessman Ge Lang in Linta Bay. He is very interested in the honey from the porcupine collar. He may come in a few days."

"Haha, well done!" Li Qi was overjoyed.

Joe said, "But he said he wanted some favors, and he wanted you to promise something."

Li Qi frowned slightly, the person hasn't come yet, want the benefits first?

It's not that our porcupine collars can't be sold, it's just that the alley is too deep. In the past, every time Joe brought out the goods, they could all be sold out, which shows the problem.

But the impoverished porcupine collar is too impressive, and the porcupine collar has just risen for less than a year. If it goes like this for three or four years, Li Qi will be rushed to come without publicity.

He has many core commodities.

"There should be some discounts," Li Qi said.

After all, it was the first caravan to come to the porcupine collar, and the businessman was also mercenary, so it was fine to give some favors, but his impression of Grand was not very good.

　Thank you for the reward of [Snail Jiaoxuan] 100 and [I Love You l] 100, blessings and thanks.
