The prepared cooked food is put into cans, and the marinated salted fish and shrimps are cleaned and then dried.
The current seafood processing factory is completely different from the scrambled look when he first came.
The current processing plant seems to be a set of smooth running machines, and everyone is extremely proficient.
The three of Li Yin also opened their eyes wide and watched the scene in front of them.
It turned out that the canned food they ate, as well as the salted fish and salted shrimp, were produced here.
"These were originally nearby villagers, and their lives were relatively difficult, but they worked in a processing factory, and their monthly salary was not low."
"After you go to the fiefdom, try to recruit people nearby, especially those who live in difficulties, so that they can find jobs and improve their lives."
Li Ke explained to Li Yin and Li You.
"Yes, third brother."
Li Yin and Li You nodded thoughtfully.
After coming out of the seafood processing factory, Li Ke took them to the saltworks again.
"Third brother, is this the place where the salt is dried?"
All three of them have heard that Li Ke is drying salt in Yangzhou. The salt produced is of high quality, high yield and cheap price.
Now the imperial court has included Yangzhou Salt Farm as one of the salt suppliers, and now Chang'an City can buy salt from Yangzhou Salt Farm.
They have seen the salt, it is indeed as white as snowflakes, and it is very fine and pure in taste.
But they didn't expect that those salt like snowflakes were dried out in this seemingly ordinary salt field!
"That's right, this is what you will do after you go to the fief, that is to build salt fields and dry sea salt!"
"Sixth brother, there is Laizhou Bay near Dengzhou, which is a very high-quality salt-producing area. If a salt field is built there, the output of sea salt will be very high."
"Fifth brother, there is also a natural salt production area near Quanzhou. The seawater there is extremely salty, and the production of sea salt will be very good if the salt pan is built."
After Li Ke asked the two of them to go to Dengzhou and Quanzhou, they would also build salt fields to dry salt.
The Laizhou Bay Salt Area is also a very famous salt area with a very high salt production.
And there are not only sea salt, but also abundant underground brine resources.
It can be said that not only can sea salt be sun-dried, but also salt can be produced through abundant underground brine resources.
On Baodao on the other side of Quanzhou, there is a very famous Budai salt field, also known as the southeast salt warehouse.
The salt content of this piece of seawater is extremely high. Even if a salt field is built in Quanzhou, the salt output will be very high.
In his plan, once the Laizhou Bay Salt Area and the Quanzhou Salt Area are completed, salt drying will begin.
In addition to the Yangzhou Salt Field, the salt produced by the three major salt fields in a year should be enough for all the people in Datang.
Even if it is not enough, salt can be made from underground brine to make up for it.
Moreover, since seafood processing factories are to be opened in these two places, a large amount of sea salt is naturally indispensable.
How to marinate sea fish and sea shrimp without salt?
"Third brother is really knowledgeable!"
Li You and Li Yin have great admiration and admiration for Li Ke.
Li Ke obviously didn't go to Dengzhou and Quanzhou, but he knew that they were high-quality salt-producing areas.
On the contrary, the two of them are about to go to Dengzhou and Quanzhou, but they don't know anything about them.
Thinking of this, they felt ashamed for a while.
Because Li Zhi was young and didn't have to go to fief, Li Ke mainly talked to Li You and Li Yin.
Li Zhi was listening and observing silently.
He found that Li Ke seemed to have made all the preparations, including what to do on 5.9 after Li You and Li Yin went to the fief, and all the plans had been made.
In other words, as long as Li You and Li Yin do not risk their lives and follow Li Ke's plan, Dengzhou and Quanzhou will definitely develop rapidly.
Not to mention catching up with Yangzhou and Suzhou, at least it can quickly stand out from the big Tang state capitals and become a top state capital.
And it was only because Li You and Li Yin were going to Quanzhou and Dengzhou that Li Ke talked about the development plans of these two places.
If Li Ke looks at the whole Datang, maybe he can find a better development plan for Datang!
He couldn't help thinking about what his father Li Shimin had explained to him before he came to Yangzhou.
In the Hall of Ganlu.
"Young slave, I can let you go to Yangzhou for a while, but you must promise me one thing."
"You have to experience life in Yangzhou with your heart, observe everything you see in Yangzhou with your heart, and feel the ability and talent displayed by your third brother with your heart."
"After returning to Chang'an City, I want to know these things."
Li Shimin explained to him very seriously.
He didn't understand why Li Shimin asked him to observe, experience and feel these with his heart.
But now, he seems to have grasped a clue.
It seems that the father also wants to know how the third brother is doing in Yangzhou.
Perhaps, like him, the father also thought about letting the third brother use his talents to the entire Tang Dynasty?
To lead the development of Datang?
PS: Fifth more! .
Chapter 209 Li Ke's scheming is deep!Qinghe Cui's major crisis!
In the next few days, Li Ke took Li Min and the three of them around Yangzhou and Suzhou.
The main reason is that Dengzhou and Quanzhou are very important to his next plan, and the key points of Dengzhou and Quanzhou lie in Li Yin and Li You.
So Li Ke also took some time to personally take them to experience and feel the various departments and businesses that need to be reproduced in Dengzhou and Quanzhou.
"Third brother, is this the bank?"
The three of Li Yin asked with surprise in their eyes, looking at the busy business of people coming and going, as well as the unique structure inside the bank.
They had heard the word bank from fishermen before, but they didn't know what it meant.
After Li Ke's introduction and after seeing the scene, I knew what a bank was.
"That's right. Banks mainly have several businesses, such as deposits, loans, and transfers. In the future, there will also be insurance and finance."
"After having a bank, there is no need to worry about the transportation of copper coins for large transactions. You only need to take the passbook to the bank to transfer the money, which is much more convenient."
"If you are temporarily short of money, you can get a loan from the bank as long as you have collateral."
"If you feel that it is not safe to keep the money at home, you can deposit it in the bank for free, and the bank will help you keep it for free, and you can withdraw it at any time."
Li Ke briefly introduced the basic business of the bank to the three of them.
"In the future, after you go to the fiefdom, you will also set up a bank. I will send someone to help you then."
"In this way, when Yangzhou businessmen go to Quanzhou to do business, they only need to get a withdrawal slip from the Yangzhou branch, and then they can get the money directly at the Quanzhou branch."
"Businessmen in Quanzhou go to Dengzhou to do business. After earning money, they only need to deposit the money in the Dengzhou branch. The Dengzhou branch will issue a deposit slip, and then bring it back to the Quanzhou branch. The money can be deposited in the passbook. .”
Li Ke further described how convenient business transactions will be once there are banks in Dengzhou and Quanzhou in the future.
"It's so amazing!" 21
After the three of them listened, they were all shocked.
Only a withdrawal slip or a deposit slip can save merchants in different places from using copper coins for transactions.
It's just so convenient, it's amazing.
"Third Brother, can Chang'an City open a bank?"
Li Zhi suddenly thought that there is no bank in Chang'an City, and Chang'an City has gathered merchants from Datang and other countries.
Banks are so convenient, there must be a great demand for banks.
"The headquarters of Datang Royal Bank is in Chang'an, but it will be officially opened after I return to Chang'an when I have time."
Li Ke smiled and explained to Li Zhi.
Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded immediately. It turns out that the bank in Chang'an City is the headquarters.
"Third brother, when I left Chang'an City, the headquarters of the Datang Royal Bank had already started construction according to the drawings you gave."
Li Yin also reported to Li Kehui from the sidelines.
Li Ke had written to him before, telling him to arrange for someone to build the headquarters of Datang Royal Bank.
Now that he has left Chang'an City, the rest of the matter is handed over to the Chief History of Wu Wangfu.
"good."
Li Ke nodded. Since Li Yin has all arrived in Yangzhou, it means that the headquarters of the Datang Royal Bank should have almost been built by this time.
As for why he waited until he had time to return to Chang'an City before opening?
Because the president of Datang Royal Bank can only be him!
After all, everything is a bank he invested in, and there is a huge amount of wealth in the bank.
He had to go back to Chang'an City to preside over the opening of the bank's headquarters in person, which could be regarded as a deterrent to those who harbor evil intentions.
Otherwise, he is far away in Yangzhou, and Li Min has left Chang'an City. The history of the palace chief alone may not be able to hold back the situation.
Afterwards, the three of Li Yin looked at the bank curiously for a while.
They watched other people handle deposits, withdrawals, transfers, etc., and they probably figured out the process.
In particular, many businessmen come to the bank to handle transfer business, and they don't need to bring a penny with them, which is really very convenient.
"Third brother, how do banks make money?"
Li You suddenly asked curiously.
Everyone knows Li Ke's ability to make money. Although this bank is very convenient, they really don't see how to make money.
"Loans have interest, and transfers have handling fees."
"Everyone deposits money in the bank, and the bank only pays a venue fee to help keep it, but they can use the money to lend."
"The money belongs to everyone, but the interest belongs to the bank. Secondly, a certain percentage of handling fees will be charged for transfers. As long as there are many transfers, the income is also very considerable."
In order to let them understand the bank better, Li Ke patiently explained.
"I see!"
Hearing this, the three of them immediately understood.
It's just an empty-handed white wolf's method. Other businesses at least need costs, and you have to invest your own money into it.
The bank is completely no capital business, using other people's money to lend to other people, but the interest is collected by the bank.
Moreover, a handling fee is charged for each transfer, and the more transfers, the higher the handling fee.
No wonder, just say when Li Ke did a business that didn't make money.
Afterwards, Li Ke took them around to the business bureau next door.
"After you have passed, you can prepare for the collection of commercial taxes. I guess it will not be long before the emperor and the court will agree to my proposal."
"After the commercial tax is collected, part of it is used to develop the fiefdom, and part is used to expand the official school."
Hearing this, both Li Yin and Li You nodded.
They also noticed it in Yangzhou City in the past two days, including just now at the bank. They saw that the materials of the clothes worn by the businessman were not allowed to wear according to the rules.
Later, Li Ke told them that in Yangzhou and Suzhou, as long as they paid commercial taxes, they could get many basic rights.
It also included eligibility for merchants' children to take the imperial examinations.
Although surprised at first, Li Ke told them that in less than a month, they had collected 1.8 guan in commercial tax.
They immediately felt that it was only a matter of time before the father and the court agreed to Li Ke's proposal.
So they didn't find it strange that Li Ke asked them to go to the fiefdom to prepare for collecting business taxes.
Just, why expand the official school?
