Li Yu got the first real man-made Dead Sea, which is much stronger and bigger than the place dedicated to swimming in Jilizhou for soldiers.
When the early autumn arrived, the Dead Sea, which had consumed countless amounts of salt and manpower, appeared in Changning. It was a magical thing. People who hadn’t seen the real Dead Sea and hadn’t learned what proportion and buoyancy were simply couldn’t understand Changning. One of the reasons for the emergence of lakes that will not sink.
Even if everyone knows that the new artificial lake contains salt water, they will never know that because of the power of salt, people can float on the water. The simplest example is why sea water drowns people, which has nothing to do with salt. It's absolutely okay.
It was still hot at this time, and Changning's pottery was famous, and it was this artificial lake that was also famous, named Ups and Downs.
The number of tourists coming and going is no less than that of the capital. Many tourists are also brought by tourist groups from the capital, making Changning, a county that is not suitable for tourism, famous in one fell swoop.
The unsinkable lake has become a miracle. The rich people come here, and a business circle is formed around the Shenfu Lake in Changning County, where you can buy specialty products, make dim sum, and make tea.
Especially the two-story house built around the lake at the same time as the construction of the lake suddenly became valuable.
At this moment, Li Yu looked at the flow of people coming and going in and out of the houses around the lake with a remorse, muttering as if to himself: "A good thing, it is also a good thing, and the county tax has increased."
Xiao Chong listened to Li Yu’s voice and said nothing. He understood that Li Yu regretted it. When Zhang’s Young Master sent someone over to discuss the matter, he asked whether he should buy salt at a cheap price or let him Zhang Wang's family built auxiliary houses around the lake.
For the former, as long as a large sum of money is taken out, the Zhang and Wang family will not intervene. In the latter, they do not need to pay a penny, and even the money for digging the lake is taken by the Zhang and Wang family.
In the end, Li Yuan chose the latter, thinking that he could save a lot of money. Who knew that the unsinkable lake really appeared. This is better than the model of Baoxin County, and the zoo in the capital is magical.
As long as those who are able to come over come to Changning with the tour group, the rented house is a daily gain.
For the first time, I have seen someone who can sell even river water. A fence was built outside the house, leaving only a few key directions of the entrance and exit. It costs money to swim, and it costs money to eat. When you come out of the water, When you find that you are full of salt, you also have to spend money to flush with fresh water.
Others are not allowed to come over to deliver water. If you want to bring your own fresh water, you can charge a portion of the fee and arrange it in a separate location on the lake.
At first, some people took it, but later found out that people in this position would make people in other positions look down on them. When others looked at it, they were clearly saying: "If you don't have money, don't come. You can't even pay for water?"
There are also people who want to use the price difference of water to sell water, and finally find that they have paid a part of the entrance fee and deducted the tax, which is almost nothing.
"My lord, go down to the bubble?" Xiao Chong sighed the young master Zhang's ability, and suggested to Li Yuan who was still depressed.
Li Yu shook his head: "No, it's not surprising that you have to use water when you come up. Isn't it not sinking? It's convenient to practice swimming. How are the people from the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce discussing with the people from Xiaobao?"
"It hasn’t been settled yet. People from the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce wanted to rent a place next to the lake. The two-story house wanted to sell beautiful pottery, but they refused to rent money, saying that it was based on the quantity of goods sold. At that time, it will be divided into five to five, which is too low.
The young man from Zhang’s family meant that the rent should not be less, and it was signed once a year. It cannot be signed for ten or eight years. In the future, the rent will fluctuate at the market price. The original contract was signed only under the same conditions. priority.
In addition, the pottery price of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce must be fixed, and you can’t just ask the price. After you sell something, you have to give out 30% of the after-tax profit to the young man of the Zhang family. The asking price is too high and you can’t agree. I guess the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce will regret it. "
Xiao Chong introduced what Li Yu wanted to know.
Li Yu agreed: "Yes, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce is still unconvinced. They have lost that part of the pottery market in the northern part of Hebei Province. They have lost the exclusive sales on my side. The pressure of competition has also increased. Let’s compete. I think two years later, if they can’t achieve the good sales results they said at the beginning, they will compensate me for anything."
"What the adults said is that the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce is really irresponsible. The young master Zhang family is busy with other things in Jilizhou, and they can't deal with it casually. When you are done, you can free up your hands. That is a disaster for the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Chong, who has always treated Zhang Xiaobao as a myth, said confidently.
…
The magic of Shenfu Lake is being spread out at an extremely fast speed, and people from a little farther away were moved to take a look at it when they sighed after learning about it.
Only a few people don't admit that Changning's sinking and floating lake is the place where the heavens descended.
Li Longji was one of them. After listening to the various rumors spread by others, he took out the map of Changning and read it several times, and said to Gao Lishi, "How about going again?"
"Your Majesty, no, I have been there once this year. Going again will cost the people and money." Gao Lishi had never seen an unsinkable lake, and he was curious, but he did not approve of the emperor's move.
"What if the money let Xiaobao and Juanjuan pay out?" Li Longji thought of the last trip. He heard reports from people. At several places he had visited, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were embracing money in their own name. The quick way of holding it makes them feel that they should pay another money.
When Collis heard that his son and daughter-in-law had to pay, he wondered that there was no new way to make money. He was afraid that his son would be compensated, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is nothing more than an unsinkable water, the minister writes. Ask Xiaobao and see what he can do."
"It should have been written long ago. He should write a letter first. Why not fix one beside the capital? He has to go to Changning. Obviously, he didn't put me in my eyes and made me anxious. The crime is culpable, and, When I went to Jili State, I clearly planned to deceive me one more time, um, another time."
Li Longji has also figured it out now. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan originally planned to go to Jilizhou. Like they were going to Fengzhou at the beginning, they went around in a big circle and got a lot of benefits. But it was even worse than that of Toyosu.
What else can Gao Lishi say, and promised: "Yes, I will write it right away."
"Hold on." The more Li Longji thought, the more frustrated he stopped the Gao Lishi who was about to leave to make arrangements. Luo Kejin, no matter what tactics they use, even if I can cheat, I can't get ten centuries-old ginseng?"
Gao Lishi thought that the emperor would add a heavy burden to Xiaobao and the cuckoo. He heard only ten roots of 100-year-old ginseng. Don’t worry, Xiaobao wrote a few days ago, saying that he would give him twenty roots for more than a hundred years before the Chinese New Year. Ginseng, soak in wine, I think ginseng is easy to make.
With a promise, Gao Lishi left.
Li Longji opened the map of Changning again, and pointed his hand at the location of the lake. "The next time I change places, I will definitely not be fooled."
