Early in the morning on May 23, Fanbang hired vehicles to load newspapers and transport them to Lijiazhuangzi one by one.

Also shipped were gold, copper coins, silk, and silk fabrics.

The news spread, and the people of Chang'an City cheered.

"We won, Mr. Li won. Mr. Li spent a lot of money to buy back so many newspapers in Fanbang."

The person with the best information shouted around and told everyone he could see the good news.

"Okay! I knew Dongzhu Li would return to victory."

"The newspaper I spent so much money on only sold ten cents?"

"Why don't you think of a way to sell it to someone else?"

"I heard that I was raising money to buy something with Boss Li, but I ran out of money."

"The main thing is to admit defeat, otherwise Boss Li would still be selling their newspapers, 300,000 copies a day."

"Last night they went to sell things overnight. The merchants lowered the prices very hard. They pinched their noses and admitted it."

"You deserve it, you actually want to plot against Dongzhu Li."

"Boss Li must have made a lot of money again. I'll celebrate with a drink tonight."

The people passed the good news to each other, as if Li Yi could distribute the money directly to them.

"Newspaper, today's new newspaper, there are instructions for making cans, made of porcelain."

People who get the newspaper read life tips first, then others, and finally the stories.

While doing some research, I discovered a way to keep fruits and cooked meats for a long time.

"It also comes with a recipe for braised pork. Do you want someone to make braised pork and put it in?"

"I saw a method of making cans out of bamboo tubes. The newspaper said that Lijiazhuangzi was experimenting to see how long the bamboo tubes could be preserved."

"Donzhu Li always comes up with something new."

Countless people in Chang'an celebrated as the Tibetan state bowed its head, and the Tibetan people who bowed their heads held the handover at the bridge.

The dealers inspected the silks carefully and opened them one by one. They found that the ones that were slightly older were not needed.

Count the copper coins one by one, with some rust on them, untie the rope and pick them out.

Gold is weighed to determine its color.

Fifty jin jars of wine were shipped out and asked to be randomly inspected by the Tibetan people.

Open it, pour it into a lighter and see if it can ignite.

It can be ignited, but it's a little laborious, and sometimes it takes several strokes in a row before it ignites.

The dealer explained that new lighters are like this. Someone took a used lighter and poured it into it. As expected, it easily started a fire.

Twenty thousand kilograms of alcohol sounds like a lot. Fifty kilograms per jar, only four hundred jars. It is considered to be a gift to 10,000 soldiers on the front line.

The Tubo people were handing over goods on one side, while hiring ships on the other side, hiring them directly in Bashui.

They want to enter the Wei River from Ba River, then enter the Yellow River from the Wei River, then turn the Yellow River into the Grand Canal, then the Grand Canal into the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River into the Dadu River, the Dadu River into the Jinchuan River, and arrive in Tubo.

From Bashui to Suzhou, it goes downstream. From there, it enters the Yangtze River and goes upstream. There are many places along the way where trackers have to pull it.

Four hundred jars of alcohol and ten thousand lighters, two hundred and fifty thousand lighters.

Li Yi found a high place to look with a telescope.

"It's 250 million copper coins, and Kaiyuan Tongbao, one piece is 825 grams, which is 206.25 tons.

Copper, more than 200 tons of copper, 20,000 kilograms of 85% alcohol and 10,000 lighters can be exchanged for it."

Li Yi happily muttered to himself, in fact, most of them were good silk, not much copper coins, not much gold.

Li Chengqi stood next to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, only you can see that money is measured in ten thousand dollars."

He knew that Datang's fiscal revenue last year was about 7.8 million yuan when all things were converted into money.

Here, Li Yi sells alcohol and lighters with very little cost for 250,000 yuan.

Previously, so many businessmen were defrauded of 210,000 yuan, and the warehouses in Lantian County were almost emptied.

Li Chengqi looked at Li Yi and thought to himself: You are also our brother Yi, otherwise you can make a deal for 250,000 yuan.

How much does it cost? The alcohol is only 85%, plus the cost of making the lighter, it's more than 3,200 yuan.

Including the more than 66,000 yuan lost, it is calculated as 70,000 yuan, and the net profit is 180,000 yuan.

The other money in your family adds up to more than 500,000 yuan.

Datang's annual income is one-sixteenth, do you think you can survive?

“With the money I earned this time, I plan to use it to subsidize government school students in various places and build roads by the way.

The narrow part of the official road from Tang Dynasty to Tubo should be widened and the plank road should be repaired.

I can also use gunpowder to help blow up the mountain to make the road easier to walk without leaving any money behind."

Li Yi suddenly said how he would spend the money he earned.

Li Chengqi nodded and followed his previous thoughts and answered: Yes, I can survive. Brother Yi, how afraid are you of death? As soon as you get the money, you throw it away.

He discovered that Yi Di's greatest advantage was his awareness of current affairs.

Make money quickly, but don't be greedy.

What should be given to the people should be given to the people, and what should be given to His Majesty should be given to Your Majesty. Try your best to bribe officials.

Then he shouted that corrupt officials should be dealt with and gave ideas on how to deal with them.

Li Yi continued: "This year, greenhouses will be built in 20 counties. Winter vegetables, cantaloupes, and watermelons are considered luxuries, and a 10% tax will be paid.

The other wealthy households who built greenhouses paid the bills together with me. No one would be able to refuse, because the money was too much.

After a while, I will come up with a new glaze and require those who buy the glaze to pay commercial tax.

I guess I will offend a lot of people, and if someone comes to me, I will discuss with them how to make a lot of money."

"Brother Yi, no one will come in." Li Chengqi reminded.

"We have to look for it. If we don't look for them and hold it in our hearts, they will cause trouble behind their backs.

It is better to be friends openly than to be enemies in secret.

Businessmen should not just buy low and sell high, but also produce and make more money for the people."

Li Yi insists on waiting for someone to talk to him. How much can he do by himself?

Join together to make a fortune together and promote the development of Datang society.

Li Chengqi just listened to it. He decided to help anyway and couldn't let anyone cause trouble for Brother Yi.

Brother Yi is in a good mood and can come up with more new things.

He watched the Tubo people carefully carrying the wine jars and smiled.

"Hahaha, the journey back is difficult! The shipping union charges a high price, and alcohol burns easily.

Grass and straw mats need to be stuffed between the jars, and hot meals cannot be cooked on board.

There are people taking turns guarding it during the day and night. If a fire breaks out, it will be too late to jump into the water."

Li Chengqi talked about the trouble of transporting alcohol, and the same is true for transporting alcohol.

"The only way to transport it back is to fill it with lighters. If you use this alcohol to make a hot air balloon, burn it." Li Yi also smiled.

"Can't you fly?" Li Chengqi asked.

"Yes, if you put alcohol in the jar, you can fly up to the sky no matter what. It will rise slowly, but then there will be insufficient heat supply in the sky and it will fall down."

Li Yi talked about the problem of 85% alcohol on the hot air balloon.

Then he remembered something.

"Brother, my 75% alcohol is used to treat and disinfect wounds.

It's very effective. The only drawback is that it's easy for pus to form under the scab, so you need to lift the scab and then scrub it with alcohol.

However, there will be no problem with wound infection. After cleaning the pus under the scab, the pus and blood will become less and less, and new flesh will grow around it first."

Li Yi is unwilling to use alcohol to disinfect the patient's wounds. Alcohol disinfection of instruments and non-traumatic external cleaning is better.

He is willing to use povidone iodine for skin wounds, but he cannot produce one at the moment.
