Chapter 2034 I Would Rather Work Hard than Spend Money
The dew at night seemed particularly heavy, and it took a long time for the sun to come out in the morning before it dissipated.
People who were preparing to feed the rabbits had to continue waiting. Feeding rabbits with dewy grass would cause diarrhea and then death.
The hounds followed their owners and came back to wait for meals after dealing with hygiene issues. The owners ate first and then went to the meeting for food.
Normally, the hounds had two meals a day, and they would be fed a good meal before entering the mountains.
They were similar to wolves, and could survive ten days or half a month without food, but they had to drink water.
When the dogs had not finished the meal fed by their owners, the hunters' meeting began.
Li Longji and others watched behind the scenes, and Li Yi sat in front of the stage without saying a word.
The host spoke, first talking about what kind of meeting this was, then why this meeting was held, and then what the content of the meeting was, and how to hold this meeting well in the end.
In fact, it was to turn the unspoken rules among hunters into fair and aboveboard rules, and everyone had an organization.
Like the various associations when Li Yi was there, Zhong Shaojing had a calligraphy association! Li Longji was the president.
Li Longji, the hunter, was not the president, and neither was Li Yi.
The next process was to ask who was suitable to be the president, and everyone's eyes turned to Shi Xiazi.
There was no way, Old Man Shi sat on Li Yi's left hand side, and Hu Feng sat on Li Yi's right hand side, and the left was respected.
All the things in the small house were from Li's farm.
The key was that Shi Xiazi had many mountain dogs, and the number was too scary.
If he became the president, everyone would have a reason to ask him to watch the dogs.
If someone else became the president, they could not order Shi Xiazi.
Shi Xiazi's home was in Jingzhao Prefecture, and now it belonged to the Hunters' Conference of Henan Prefecture.
Only if Shi Xiazi became the president, he would be a part of Henan Prefecture.
With the president of the association, the vice president would be elected.
Hu Feng was selected. He was Shi Xiazi's junior brother, and he had merits and had made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Another local hunter who was good at hunting became the second vice president, and he was elected based on his ability.
The last vice president was given to Fang Taozheng. Fang Taozheng had a monument erected for the dog that died while saving people. It was next to the Martyrs Cemetery.
Is a person who fights to the death for ordinary people and the wolf pack not trustworthy? If he becomes the vice president, he will certainly help others when they have something to do.
Besides, his white hair has become a mountain guard dog. In the future, he may become a mountain guard dog again after breeding.
Next are the directors, who are responsible for specific affairs in various aspects. Everyone really chooses them.
Some people are born to communicate with others, and it will be very convenient for them to communicate.
After the selection, the key dues have not been collected.
There was no fee before, everyone hunted their own and followed the rules.
How much dues to pay and what to pay according to are not mentioned in the charter, only that they must pay.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yi again. You have a lot of money, you say.
Li Yi moved the microphone in front of him and coughed: Uh-huh!
"Money is this thing! You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Therefore, as long as people are not dead, it is very important."
Everyone: "..."
Are you sure your two sentences can be connected? Don't you think it's contradictory?
"It's hard to measure how much money people should pay directly. Some people have strong hunting skills and few people in their family, so it's okay to pay more.
On the contrary, some people have many people in their family and need to support their family.
As for the association, people didn't want to join, but they didn't dare. Others are all members, but they are not. How can they contact in the future?"
Li Yi told the truth. If they don't join the association, they can only quit the industry.
The hunters nodded one after another. Yes, if they refuse to join the association, can they enter the hunter's cabin in the future?
"I have an idea, like the rent and labor tax, everyone takes time out every year to obey orders.
For example, they are responsible for exploring the way to protect the herbalists to enter the mountains to clear large wild animals in a certain area, and so on.
There must be money to maintain this association, and I will pay for it.
I only have one request, at the same price, Li's manor has the right of first purchase.
The prey hunted, the manor will look at it first, especially the good things. If others pay ten strings of cash, the manor will also pay ten strings of cash and sell it to the manor."
Li Yi came up with a plan, no one would suffer, except that his profit would be small.
In order to make money, he would never operate like this.
Hunters have money, and they live a good life, so society will develop.
With a large number of hunters' lodges, the probability of hunters being killed or injured in hunting is reduced, and their families are stable.
He earns a little money, but he earns a lot of life.
Standing at the top of this world, he feels a sense of accomplishment and can eat wild game.
The hunters were really happy when they heard this.
They think it is better to work than to ask them for money directly. They feel sorry for paying money, but they have no problem working.
Many people actually think the same as them. Even if the money they earn from hunting prey in ten days is enough to pay the membership fee, they are willing to spend twenty days to pay the membership fee.
Li Yi looked at everyone's expressions: "Help the herbalists go up the mountain or explore the way, and try to arrange it when the court does not allow hunting."
"Master Li, are you serious?"
"Great, it won't delay our hunting."
"What should we do if prey jumps out while we are protecting people? It's not prey, it's a beast."
"Master Li, although there is no hunting ban this year, we are willing to hunt and lead people at the same time. We are not afraid of more huts."
"Yes, Master Li, herbalists know a lot. Sometimes they also hunt, otherwise they have nothing to eat."
"Master Li, the membership fee does not need to be too much. In fact, we don't need the money in the association."
"We will maintain the hunter's hut ourselves in the future to ensure that there are more and more things, especially dried meat."
"Sometimes we are lucky and catch a lot of prey, but we can't take them down. We can only skin some and sell them at the foot of the mountain. It's a pity that the meat is far from the hut. Now there are many huts, and we can only find a place with a square."
The hunters talked about it. They were simple and didn't want Li Yi to spend more money.
Li Yi heard the words of the people who were close to him. He thought about it and turned his head to ask the person behind the scenes: "Old Bi, do you want to advertise the crab crisps and shrimp strips sold by the Ministry of Households?"
"What advertisement?" Bi Gou's voice came out.
"You pay the advertising fee, and the hunters' clothes will be embroidered with your brand pattern. When others ask, the hunters will say that the one from the Ministry of Households is delicious."
Li Yi asked Bi Gou according to the operation of the Clothing Alliance. There are clothes, things and meals distributed by the three Clothing Alliances in Chang'an at the Luoyang dock.
The hunters are so considerate of themselves, so they should advertise!
"Is it useful? It won't be that the money is given out, but the result is the same whether they have it or not?"
Bi Gou is skeptical about this. The things sold by the Ministry of Households are different from those sold by the Clothing Alliance.
Yimeng relies on advertising to wholesale clothes in large quantities to other places.
Yimeng is a labor-intensive industry. The price of large-scale purchases is low, and the cost of production is even lower. People are divided into groups and are only responsible for one step.
The price of the same style of clothes produced is lower than others, so merchants buy more.
The Ministry of Households sells noodles and fried foods, so merchants will buy in large quantities? Why didn't I find it before?
"As long as the advertising fee is in place, I guarantee that there is a way to increase sales. How much can you sell in a month without advertising? Compare it after advertising."
Li Yi guaranteed that the higher the advertising fee, the better the effect.
