Chapter 37 [Li Yun's actions are always unpredictable]

The sun is vast and the river is gentle.

Outside Chang'an City, there is a river and Wei River, with turbulent waves and rippling phosphorescence. Today there is a breeze that penetrates people's hearts and lungs. It just so happens that it is the most comfortable time in a day.

On the banks of the Wei River, there are a large group of people standing.

The leading boy was Li Yun, next to him was Cheng Chumo of Chang'an. The little bully was rolling up his sleeves with excitement on his face.

Not far behind the two was a forest. There was a big tree in the sky at the edge of the forest. A girl leaned on the trunk with her arms held her back, her pretty face with a hint of disdain and contempt.

"I lie to my brother to catch fish. I see how you sell it if you catch it?"

The girl was full of confidence and firmly believed that she must be right. She was waiting for Li Yun to make a fool of herself, and then ruthlessly exposed this big liar.

That's right, Li Yun has been upgraded, and in the girl's heart, she has successfully upgraded from a small liar to a big liar. The big liar is naturally more infuriating than the small liar.

Behind Li Yun and Cheng Chumo, there were still a group of people waiting quietly. On the left were twenty Cheng's servants and on the right were a small group of refugees.

There were about a hundred refugees, including men and women, old and young. A Yao was among them, and the man whose arm was broken was also there.

Everyone stood by the river for a long time, with confusion and expectation on their faces, but they only dared to whisper to each other, and everyone was quietly waiting for the arrangements.

Li Yun suddenly took a step forward and took Cheng Chumo a step forward. The two teenagers stood side by side by side. Li Yun pointed to the surging Wei River and said, "Come here today, just take a look, mainly to give you an impression in your heart and have some preliminary understanding of our industry. Please take a good look, are there many fish in this river?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned and stood on tiptoe and tried to look at the river. After a long time, the little bully said with a confused face: "How can you see this? You can see it all over the water when you look around."

"But I can see it!"

Li Yun smiled leisurely and pointed to the river bank and said, "Look at the weeds on the river bank, there is no sign of being stepped on by someone. What does this mean? It means that few people come by the river."

Cheng Chu thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand Li Yun's meaning, and said even more confused: "So what? People who go out for a walk don't like to come here. Apart from water and grass, there is nothing fun."

"I'm not talking about outings, I'm referring to fishing people."

Li Yun looked at him and explained patiently: "Chang'an people don't like to eat fish. Only those poor and poor families will occasionally catch some hunger. Therefore, there are no fishermen around Chang'an who make a living, which means that no one catches the fish and shrimps in the river..."

After saying that, he paused and explained in detail: "Since ancient times, there are clouds, and there are fishes when there are water. The Wei River is a big river that has not flowed for thousands of years, but no one came to catch fish. Think about what are the channels here?"

"There will be more and more fish..." Cheng Chumo blurted out and suddenly realized: "And the bigger it is!"

"good!"

Li Yun smiled, nodded at him with satisfaction, and said, "You have begun to learn to use your brain."

The little bully was praised by him and he was a little embarrassed and shy.

Not far away, Du Cheng Chuxue was surprised, as if he had known his younger brother for the first time. In the girl's understanding, his younger brother was not an obedient person. He had found him many gentlemen in the mansion, but he was beaten away by him.

"What the hell is this big liar saying? How could he make my brother believe so?"

The girl became curious and couldn't help but raise her foot to come over. She hid quietly behind the crowd, listening carefully with her ears pricked up.

Li Yun didn't have the time to take care of these things. He pulled Cheng Chumo and took a few steps forward and pointed to the big river in front of him: "Everything in the world must be seen from a young age. For example, building houses, you must lay a solid foundation first, such as marching and fighting, you must first understand the enemy's initiatives, and the same is true for the industry. You must first determine the input and output ratio of this industry."

As he said that, he didn't care whether Cheng Chumo understood or not, and continued: "The so-called investment is investment, investment of capital and investment of human resources. Now what I want to teach you is material investment. To do an industry, you must first calculate whether the raw materials for producing a product are enough."

Cheng Chumo was confused when he heard it, but he still understood it a little. The little overlord said with a little uncertain voice and thought hard: "The master took me to see the Wei River and asked me if there were too many fish. This is what I asked me to first think about whether our industry can last, and let me think about whether the fish and shrimp in the river can catch them enough?"

"It's great, I've learned to learn from one example."

Li Yun was very pleased, so he naturally praised him.

Cheng Chumo became even more upset, grabbed his forehead and laughed silly. Cheng Chuxue was surprised and opened her eyes wide, and unconsciously leaned forward three points.

Li Yun said again: "Now we can confirm that there is no shortage of fish in the Wei River, and there is no shortage of fish in other major rivers in Chang'an. This means that there is sufficient raw materials and no fear of the industry's inability to last."

“Yes, yes!”

Cheng Chumo nodded, and seemed to suddenly become smarter, and said excitedly: "And this raw material is still unstoppable. You can catch fish anywhere."

"It can't be considered a transaction without capital, and manual investment still needs to be calculated."

Li Yun looked at him and taught: "The so-called labor is the labor we use, such as your twenty servants, and the refugees we mobilized. Everyone must pay a certain amount of compensation to work."

"That's not much money..."

Cheng Chumo didn't care and said whispered: "The refugees gave five entries a day, which is higher than the local hired workers in Chang'an. I brought the servants and didn't have to give them. They all belonged to my Cheng family."

"This is not possible!" Li Yun shook his head and formally refused: "In the future, we have to set a rule. As long as people in our industry are paid according to their labor, I don't care whether they are you, the Cheng family, or not, as long as you work here, you will have to be paid."

Cheng Chumo curled his lips, but did not refute Li Yun's words. Suddenly he remembered a word Li Yun said just now, and asked curiously: "Master, what is the salary?"

Only then did Li Yun realize that he had spoken a word in his later generations. He thought about it and made up his mind: "Who is hired? I will give you compensation. The salary earned by the employer is simply the salary."

"I understand, I just pay for it."

Cheng Chumo nodded, feeling that he had become much smarter again.

This guy is a rabbit who doesn't sit in a nest. He thought that he would not be able to travel by the river today, so he rolled his sleeves hard and said carelessly: "Master, wait, I'll go down the river first to try the last time. Let's not catch more today. Let's try to catch a few hundred kilograms of fish first?"

How many hundred kilograms?

Or try it?

Can you die if you don’t brag?

Li Yun glared at him helplessly, feeling that the road to educating the little bully is still a long way to go. Seeing that this guy was about to jump into the river, Li Yun quickly pulled him and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious to catch fish. When you are irritated in the future, we will mainly come to investigate on the spot today. If you really want to do it, you have to wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

Cheng Chumo flipped his eyes and said anxiously: "Can you catch it just by jumping down?"

Li Yun smiled bitterly and could only explain to him patiently, saying, "How much can you catch fish by yourself? We have to go back and weave fishing nets first, and the second step is to train refugees to cast nets to catch fish. After these two things are ready, we have to do the third thing, which is also very complicated and takes a long time."

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment and said unhappy: "Is there something to do? What else do you want to do?"

Li Yun smiled and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. There were some small villages vaguely on the bank of the river. He looked at the small villages and said, "This is to collect pigs."

"Catch pigs? What's the matter?" Cheng Chumo's face was confused?

Li Yun thought about it and changed his words: "Pig is a pig, the official name is pig, the folk name is pig, the powerful and noble are called cheap meat, but most ordinary people will raise some. Before pickling salted fish, we must collect some big pigs for backup."

Fish and pig?

These two seem to be incompatible at all.

Cheng Chumo's face was confused, and the people present were confused. Cheng Chuxue hid behind the people and slowly became excited, thinking that the big liar was about to be exposed by her.

No matter how good you disguise, you are always a refugee. If you have a shallow knowledge, you will reveal it if you say too much. Look, the matter of pickling salted fish has not been done yet, and you suddenly have to collect pigs again.

"It must be that I feel that the scam is about to go on, so I found a new excuse."
