Dongshi Qiquge.
After Li Zexuan left the workshop, he wanted to visit Qiquge.
When he came to Dongshi, he could see a long queue in front of Qiquge from a distance. People were whispering in the queue, and it was very lively.
"Hey, Zhao Laoer, why are you here today?"
"Why can't I come? Wu Laosan, I say you people are so unkind. You don't even tell us about such a useful plow. If I hadn't seen Mei Jun plowing the land yesterday, I would be here now. You're still in the dark!" A big man with a scar face cursed.
"Hey, you can't blame me. I also heard what my child's mother's cousin's eldest cousin's sister-in-law told me yesterday afternoon. Our Liujiazhuang is so far away from your Plum Village, so we can't go over and inform you, right?"
"Well, actually, the people in Hanjiazhuang were the first to know about Qu Yuuli. We all arrived too late."
"No, but who knows that the young master of their master's family invented this Quyuanli? Hey, I heard that their young master was made a baron by His Majesty yesterday. No one in Hanjiazhuang will dare to bully him in the future."
"I've heard about this too, but I don't know where this lord's fiefdom is. If it's in our Plum Village, then good times will come for the households in our Plum Village. I heard that this lord is very kind to the farmers in Hanjiazhuang. Not only did we pay them to help brew mountain fruit wine, we also provided them with free chickens to raise and reduced their rent."
"Bah, you have a pretty good idea. Why didn't you say that the lord's fiefdom is in our Liujiazhuang?" Wu Laosan shouted unconvinced.
"Hey, Uncle Zhao, I heard from my uncle who works in the yamen that Mr. Li's fiefdom is in Meicun. The yamen has sent people to contact Mr. Liu in your village, saying that they want to take back the land and give it to Li. Sir." A young junior next to him couldn't help but interject.
"Ah, Han Ergou, are you telling the truth?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laoer excitedly grabbed the young man's shoulders and shouted loudly.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Second Uncle Zhao, please let go first. Everything I said is true. It was said by my uncle himself." The young man grinned after being caught and quickly assured him.
Zhao Lao Er blushed, put down Han Er Gou's shoulders, turned his head, and laughed at Wu Lao San:
"Haha, Wu Laosan, I must be lucky this time. I will be the banker of the Duke's family from now on. Your kid will definitely not be as rich as me by then. Haha, are you envious? Are you jealous? You bitch are here to bite me. me?"
His big face with a smile like a chrysanthemum, coupled with the scars on his face, looked particularly terrifying and mocking.
Wu Laosan shouted angrily: "Fuck, Zhao Laoer, you bastard needs a beating!"
… … …
Li Zexuan's ears were very good, and he heard the conversation of these people from a distance. He smiled and shook his head, ignored them, walked directly through the crowd, and entered through the back door of Qiqi Pavilion. There were very few people from Hanjiazhuang in the crowd today, so no one recognized him.
"Oh, Master, ah no, it's Sir, are you here?"
Sun Huaiyuan, who was busy at the front desk, heard the waiter's report. He quickly put down his work, jogged to the second floor, and greeted Li Zexuan enthusiastically.
Li Zexuan nodded slightly, asked Sun Huaiyuan to sit down and said:
"Shopkeeper Sun, I believe you have heard that I have submitted the Quyuanli drawings to the court. From tomorrow on, half of the workshop will be allocated to continue manufacturing scooters. Shopkeeper Sun, you will create an additional team at that time. Sell scooters.”
Sun Huaiyuan said in surprise: "That's great, Sir, don't worry, I will make arrangements."
Although Quyuli is popular, Qiquge does not make much money. In comparison, Sun Huaiyuan is of course more willing to sell scooters. These are all achievements.
Li Zexuan continued:
"The workshop should develop a second-generation scooter in the next two days. Compared with the first generation, the second-generation scooter uses our workshop's exclusive technology and is more flexible and faster. Our price is consistent with one. Shopkeeper Sun, will you tomorrow We can have people copy some flyers to promote it and encourage everyone to apply for membership cards, and we will launch more comprehensive products later.”
Sun Huaiyuan nodded happily and agreed: "Yes, sir, don't worry, I guarantee that everyone in Chang'an will know about our second-generation scooter."
Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction.
After chatting with Sun Huaiyuan for a while, Li Zexuan left Qiqi Pavilion and went home.
… …
Duke Lu's Mansion.
"Sir, the price of chickens in Chang'an has now increased to 115 cents. Should our family continue to buy them?"
The old housekeeper of Cheng Mansion reported to Cheng Yao Jinhui worriedly.
"So expensive?"
Cheng Yaojin was also shocked, and secretly cursed the traders in Chang'an City for being treacherous. Although he was the Duke, he was not as wealthy as Li Zexuan, and the Duke's mansion did not have enough food.
Faced with the high price of one hundred and fifteen cents each, Cheng Yaojin flinched a little. But he couldn't help but think of Li Zexuan's meaningful words after the morning meeting yesterday:
"Uncle Cheng, by then you may find that the most precious part of your chickens is not the chickens, and you may be reluctant to sell your chickens."
Cheng Yaojin frowned, and now he understood that Li Zexuan raised so many chickens, it was not just what he said in the court, there must be a hidden meaning in it. Cheng Yaojin thought of Li Zexuan's fairy-like master again, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Buy, keep buying, Butler Liang, as soon as the Dongshifang gate opens in the next few days, you can go there, bring more people, and work separately. Li Zexuan got a new fiefdom yesterday, and I estimate that he will definitely continue on his fiefdom. Raising chickens, the price of chickens... will only become more and more expensive.
You try to get ahead of them, buy all the chickens in Dongshi, and collect 30,000 chickens as soon as possible. Anyway, that kid’s family is not short of money, so let them buy it later, haha! "
Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing as he spoke, silently giving thirty-two thumbs up for his wit.
Butler Liang also felt that what Cheng Yaojin said made sense, so he quickly obeyed the order and retreated.
… …
It has to be said that Cheng Yaojing's guess is still very correct. At this time, Li Zexuan was at home, telling Butler Wang to continue purchasing chickens.
"Uncle Wang, how much is left of Hanjiazhuang's 80,000 chickens?"
Butler Wang took out a brochure, looked at it and said, "Master, including what we bought today, there is still less than 10,000 pieces. I think I can get it together tomorrow."
Li Zexuan said happily: "Yes, we will collect the 80,000 chickens tomorrow. You continue to buy. I will go to Plum Village tomorrow to see how many chickens the farmers there can raise. I conservatively estimate that at least 70,000 chickens are needed."
Butler Wang's eyes widened and he said: "Master, the price of chickens in Chang'an has increased to 115 cents per chicken now. Is it necessary for our family to buy so many chickens?"
So expensive? Compared with the initial price of 70 cents per piece, it almost doubled. Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and asked:
"Uncle Wang, how much money will it cost after gathering together the 80,000 chickens in Hanjiazhuang?"
Steward Wang calculated silently in his mind for a moment and replied: "Master, it will probably take thirteen thousand guan."
The Tang Dynasty only had 800 guan, so it makes sense that 80,000 chicks would need 13,000 guan.
Li Zexuan nodded, thinking that it was still within the range of his affordability, and said: "Uncle Wang, keep buying, the family can still afford the money."
Although Wang Zhong didn't understand, he still nodded.
