Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 204 What? !Is the two-cent profit so terrifying?
"Let's talk about it. If you have any questions, you can speak freely. This king knows everything."

Pointing to the bearded man who raised the question earlier, Li Zhi opened his mouth to signal for the other party to answer.

Seeing Li Zhi pointing at him, the man who looked like a blacksmith couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly said: "That's right! Two cents of profit is really pitifully small, obviously we have to spend so much energy to create a new one." Objects, but let others get more benefits, I think the ratio is too small, I can't accept this ratio!"

"Ok!"

After hearing his answer clearly, Li Zhi nodded lightly: "I understand what you mean, but this ratio is just right, not as unfair as you said."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd became chaotic again.

"You said it's appropriate, but we don't see much. You don't mean why you don't eat minced meat?"

"We craftsmen gathered here because we trust you. If you say that, we will not be happy."

"What do you mean it's not that unfair? Does it mean that it's still somewhat unfair? Your Highness, you have to make it clear."

……

Listening to the messy voice, Li Zhi felt a little headache.

No wonder Liu Chengzhi had a "Sima" expression before, so that's what happened.

He pressed his hands and regained order.

After they calmed down, Li Zhi frowned and said, "Once you quarrel, the efficiency of communication will be degraded. Promise me, please stop arguing, okay? If anyone has something to say, please raise your right hand , this king will give you a chance to speak."

After the voice fell, a group of people raised their right hands in unison.

Seeing their positive appearance, Li Zhi couldn't help showing a wry smile.

special!
I didn’t expect you guys to be quite capable!

After slandering from the bottom of his heart, Li Zhi pointed to one of them and signaled him to speak.

This time it was a big fat guy who looked like a chef.

"You said that this proportion is appropriate, so can you give an example? Just saying that it is appropriate, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public?"

Li Zhi also meant the same thing. Just as he was about to give an example to explain the situation, he was interrupted by the noisy crowd.

Now that the fat boy asked this question, it was just in line with his heart.

Li Zhi looked into the other person's eyes and nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard the other person's words clearly, and then he raised his voice and said, "Since you want to hear an example from me, then let me give you an example!"

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi spoke again under everyone's concerned eyes.

"Let's take the pulley block designed by Yang Shitou as an example. This king intends to use the pulley block on the wharf along the Weishui River. This example is just right."

The pulley block is the most familiar patent for craftsmen. Li Zhi just borrowed the patent of the pulley block yesterday, and once again played the trick of a thousand gold horse bones.

It was also based on this incident that the matter of the Patent Office was spread among the people, thereby attracting craftsmen to gather in front of the Prince Jin Mansion.

As far as the craftsmen who appeared here, there is no one who does not know the pulley block.

Even if it wasn't the person who witnessed it yesterday, they heard about it from others.

The pulley block is a patent known to all.

Li Zhi took this example to make them deeply aware of the benefits that patents can bring.

"The role of the pulley block is: to use less effort to pull a heavy object that a person cannot lift!"

"It is undoubtedly the most suitable choice to put this thing on the dock for unloading!"

"If I want to use the pulley set on the dock, let's set the price of a single use at five cents."

"According to the loading and unloading needs of the Weishui Ferry, at least sixty to one hundred times of loading and unloading are required every day."

"Let's convert it according to the lowest ratio. Let's take it as sixty times. The turnover of that day is three hundred yuan."

"Based on two profits, the daily profit is six cents!"

"And after one year, that's two taels of silver!"

"Converted to 20 years, it is equivalent to 40 taels of silver!"

At this point in the explanation, the craftsmen were already starting to faint.

The main reason is that they don't know how to count, and they don't know whether Li Zhi is talking nonsense.

However, Li Zhi's reputation among the people is still good. At least the vast majority of craftsmen are still willing to believe in his calculations.

It's just that after calculating it like this, it still makes them feel inappropriate.

The crowd started to get noisy again, but this time they remembered what Li Zhi said before in time. Before they could start noisy, someone raised their right hand.

When the first person raised his hand to signal, the others also remembered the previous agreement, and immediately began to compete whose hand was raised higher!

Seeing them desperately raising their right hands high, Li Zhi was already laughing out of shape in his heart.

However, the expression on his face still collapsed, and he didn't laugh out loud on the spot.

Pointing to the person who raised his hand first, Li Zhi suppressed a smile and said, "You come and ask questions. Tell me what questions you have."

The person who was pointed out confirmed that he was the one who was named, and immediately laughed out of joy.

Seeing that the others were still waiting for him to ask, he hurriedly spoke loudly: "No matter whether your calculation is right or not, just assume it is right! Calculated in a total of 20 years, the total amount of money that can be received is less than 40 Two taels of silver is not even a fraction of the 200 taels that Yang Shitou received. If you say that this share ratio is fair, aren't you talking about... um... nonsense? "

Maybe it was because of being too excited, this guy almost performed it for everyone on the spot, what is evil coming out of his mouth.

Li Zhi didn't care about these details and answered with a smile: "This is just counting the profit sharing of the Weishui Terminal. You must know that the Weishui Terminal is not a big port. If we include all the ferries along the Yangtze River, , do you think the profit in 20 years is likely to be as little as 40 taels?"

Due to various reasons, the water of the Yellow River cannot be used for freight.

Even the Weihe River, which is a tributary of the Yellow River, is difficult to use for freight.

Li Zhi took the wharf on the bank of the Weishui River as an example, just to let them have a more precise understanding and understanding.

But in fact, the biggest profit in loading and unloading goods comes from the Yangtze River Basin.

Instead of a small shipping terminal near the capital.

After his reminder, everyone remembered that the Yangtze River Basin is the main source of water transportation.

According to the formula provided by Li Zhi, they immediately realized how terrifying the profit was.

If Li Zhi's calculation is correct, the total profit in 20 years may be thousands of taels of silver.

This profit is really scary!

The original two profits, when enlarged to the entire territory of Datang, would become a terrifying figure.
