The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 385 Baibaozhai

Li Er spoke in person, so naturally no one dared to fight for it.

All the nobles could only watch helplessly as the guards stepped forward and carried away this precious treasure that could be passed down to the family.

If there is no accident, this treasure will appear in the bedroom of Empress Changsun.

Seeing everyone's expressions of regret and beating their feet and chests in sadness, Li Yunze directly burst out laughing.

The things he can sell are all selected and can be produced in Datang.

Theoretically, things that cannot be produced by Datang are not sold.

It is not impossible to forcibly develop technology by leaps and bounds, but you cannot jump too far.

Things like glass mirrors are indeed rare treasures in Datang, but in the face of modern technology, they are completely worthless.

Seeing that the fitting mirror was properly kept and transported away, Li Er, who was satisfied, said to Li Yunze, "Just tell me what the price of such treasures is."

"It's not a treasure, it's not worth any money."

Li Yunze with a friendly smile said, "If Your Majesty really wants to make an offer, how about exempting our store from the customs and city tax for a year? In addition, how about asking Your Majesty to write an inscription for the book name of our store, Baibaozhai?"

Li Er, who likes calligraphy, nodded with a smile, "Yes."

The commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty was not high, and merchants without shops collected commercial tax, which was only one-thirtieth of their income.

However, if there are shops, the first thing is to collect foreign business tax, that is, foreign businessmen who come through the Silk Road have to pay this tax first.

Then there is the customs tax.

Like the East Market and West Market in Chang'an City, you have to pay city tax to do business in them.

And if the goods are transported through the checkpoints of various cities, they will have to pay customs duties, which is later known as lijin.

What Li Yunze wanted to be exempted was the customs and city tax.

Without any hesitation, Li Er was ready to respond.

But Fang Xuanling over there hurriedly said "one year, three months at most" before Li Er could speak.

Others may know little about Li Yunze, but Fang Xuanling knows very well that this person has always taken advantage of him when he seems to be at a disadvantage. Now that he is asking for tax exemption, it must be a large sum of money.

Now the war is about to be fought, and there is a shortage of money everywhere in the imperial court. As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling can't let go of the opportunity to eat the rich.

In front of so many nobles, Li Er naturally couldn't lose face.

Under the hint of dark eyes, Fang Xuanling stepped forward to bargain seriously with Li Yunze.

In the end, the two parties agreed that Li Yunze would present the treasure fitting mirror in exchange for half a year's exemption from the customs and city tax.

When the matter was settled and everyone was ready to look at other treasures, Li Yunze clapped his hands, and immediately some of the guys brought out a fitting mirror that was two meters high.

Still placed in the previous position, Li Yunze signaled to the crowd, "Fifty sticks for one side, accept reservations, and each store is limited to three sides."

"Only fifty."

Someone in the crowd murmured, saying that Li Er's face was hot.

Half a year's business tax was exempted for the sake of fifty guan, which is really a big loss.

Qin Qiong, who did not participate in the battle against the Huns due to physical reasons, asked, "Why is the purchase restricted to three sides?"

"Because I am worried that you will take advantage of the information gap and resell it." Li Yunze said sincerely, "It is extremely inappropriate for you to sell fifty guan to you, and you to resell [-] guan to foreign merchants who do not know that this item can be supplied in large quantities."

Hearing this, the nobles' eyes lit up.

Fifty guan per side is definitely not expensive, and it is even very cheap.

If you change hands and sell five hundred guan to outside, this business can be done.

When the nobles gathered around the clerk's registration information to book the fitting mirror, Li Yunze walked up to the stinky Li Er and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry about mere business taxes. How about I give you the kerosene lamp from Zhuque Street as a gift?"

"Ok?"

Li Er looked suspiciously at the kerosene lamp Li Yunze brought over, "What do you mean?"

"On both sides of Zhuque Street, a kerosene lamp is placed every ten feet. When it is dark, it will be lit, and the Zhuque Street will be illuminated into a bright and bright street. It is windproof and waterproof, and it will not go out when it rains or winds. Another year's share of kerosene will be given away, free of charge."

Hearing this, Li Er immediately nodded in satisfaction, "That's very good."

Fang Xuanling, who was at a disadvantage over there before, decided to seize the opportunity to trick Li Yunze. After the two discussed it, Fang Xuanling quietly marked the intervals between the kerosene lamps on Zhuque Street as small rulers.

There are two kinds of weights and measures in the Tang Dynasty, one is the small ruler, ten feet and one zhang is three meters.

There is also a large ruler, ten feet and one zhang is [-] meters.

If you use a small ruler, that means a lot more kerosene lamps and kerosene consumed.

On the surface, Fang Xuanling did make Li Yunze pay more money through this method.But in fact, he doesn't understand what is free is the most expensive.

It seems that Li Yunze spent money and effort to beautify Suzaku Street at night, but in fact this is a large advertisement with a length of five kilometers.

When people in Chang'an City see the brightness and benefits of kerosene lamps, the sales of kerosene lamps will naturally be promoted, and then spread to other places.

At that time, it will not only be a matter of earning back the capital.

Product launches will continue.

Li Yunze introduced the glass one after another, looking at the glass that was the same as the luminous glass of grape wine.Glass bottle, a transparent bottle that can hold alcohol.Glass bowl, when drinking tea, you can clearly see the transparent bowl where the tea leaves float in the water.

In addition, there are glass windows, which are the most important thing. Compared with the current paper-pasted windows, glass windows not only have better sealing performance, but also the most important thing is that the light transmission performance of the window is nine streets away from the window paper.

This is the improvement in the quality of life brought about by technological breakthroughs.

If the problem of glass production is solved, a large number of glass products will quickly fill the market and improve the living environment in the past.

As for some other glass handicrafts, they were mostly used as decorations, so Li Yunze casually introduced them and stopped paying attention.

Under the leadership of Li Yunze, everyone stepped up to the second floor.

As soon as you reach the second floor, you can see a beautifully crafted carriage placed in the center.

Compared with traditional carriages, the most notable feature of this carriage is the four wheels.

However, the nobles who saw the carriage were not too excited.

After all, the technology about the four-wheeled carriage has been obtained by Datang early on, and even the carts used to transport supplies in the army are rapidly being replaced with four-wheeled ones.

Li Yunze stepped forward and opened the car door, and signaled to the inside of the car, "Everyone, you can go up and try a seat."

With Li Er here, no one dared to jump out to eat crabs, so they could only ask Li Er to have a bite first.

Li Er also did his part, stepped into the carriage and sat on the leather cushion.

"Ok?"

His dragon's butt immediately felt a different feeling, the feeling of softness and softness plus the feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome, which he had never experienced before.

I must have sat in the carriage before, but the interior of the previous carriage was either made of wood, or wrapped in soft silk, and the interior space was small and the light was dim.

At this time, this carriage not only has a spacious and extremely comfortable seat, but also has a large interior space, so it is no problem to lie down directly.

More importantly, decal glass is used on both sides of the carriage, which is excellent in terms of lighting.

When Li Er came down, everyone rushed forward one after another, wanting to feel the difference of the novelty.

Li Yunze didn't explain how outstanding the technology of this carriage was, and how important the technological breakthroughs in the shock-absorbing spring suspension system and the steering bearing were.

He made it very clear that it was useless to say that the nobles didn't care about these things, they only cared about whether they looked good, had a row of seats, and whether they were comfortable to sit on.

So the sofa with shock-absorbing springs is comfortable to sit on, and the carriage is made of gold leaf and silver thread, which is specially made in the direction of beauty, which is the kind that makes people amazed at first glance.

Obviously, the nobles are very satisfied with such a gorgeous carriage, especially after learning that they can also customize their own family crests, they are even more satisfied.

"Three hundred per car, it's definitely a friendly price. First come, first served. If you're late, you'll have to wait in line at the back."

With the technology and production capabilities provided by Li Yunze, it is no problem to provide hundreds of finished products in one go.

But the problem is that the nobles only seek expensive ones and not good ones.

If you take out too much at once, it will not be unique and different, so the use of this kind of pre-sale hunger marketing will make the nobles flock to it.

Still the same sentence, let Li Er choose the good things first.

Li Er was very satisfied with such a comfortable and spacious carriage, and ordered ten immediately.

Amidst the crowd's sighs, there was an untimely scolding sound, "The country is in a decisive battle with the Turks at this time, and a penny is extremely precious. Your Majesty actually used it to buy such extravagant and useless things. I really don't look like a wise king!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sound of breathing all around.

There is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who dares to say that about Li Er.

That's right, Wei Zheng is here.

"I didn't send him an invitation." Li Yunze immediately drew a line. "I know Wei Zheng is a poor man, so I didn't invite him."

Everyone who said this held back their laughter, and Li Er, who was originally angry at being scolded, was also laughed angrily.

Wei Zheng came out in front of Li Er and saluted, "Your Majesty, when the country is at war, you don't make decisions in the palace, but you come to this gold-selling cave to spend huge sums of money to buy useless things. How can this be done by a wise lord?" ?”

Li Er's expression was ugly, and Fang Xuanling and others would not jump out to fight Wei Zheng at this time. If Wei Zheng said "flattery villain", they would not be able to survive.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yunze.

Meeting Wei Zheng's gaze, Li Yunze shrugged his shoulders, "I'm in business, everyone is willing to buy, so what does it have to do with me?"

Naturally, Wei Zheng also knew about Li Yunze. He knew that this person had provided Datang with a lot of materials and technology, and he was regarded as a meritorious person, so he didn't complain.

"Your Majesty is the emperor on horseback, so there must be no need for these carriages." Li Yunze said again, "The reason why I bought the carriages is presumably for the use of the Supreme Emperor and the concubines. This is His Majesty's filial piety."

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately, "That's right, that's right."

The matter involved filial piety, and Wei Zheng couldn't criticize it in this regard. Filial piety means XX is correct.

People around responded one after another, saying that they were the same, and they bought it for their parents and elders at home to use Yunyun.

As for whose parents and elders are already gone, it is possible that they want to burn something when they buy it back. No one would bring up such a topic at this time to make enemies.

The dark-faced Wei Zheng looked around, walked to a glass counter and signaled, "The red, green and green in these bottles are not drinks? Don't you know that the Tang Dynasty now bans alcohol?"

"Duke Wei misunderstood."

Li Yunze stepped forward with a smile, "This is not alcohol, these things are called perfume."
