Chapter 1403 Where to Ask for Overseas Tribute

Latest website:

A few days later, Li Yi's team arrived at Henan Prefecture.

Zhang Shuo got the news in advance and waited by the road. He had to thank Li Yi.

Li Yi's existence prevented Yao Chong from getting rid of him directly.

He moved to a better place until Yao Chong also went down and needed a new prime minister.

The place he moved to was good. Luoyang was called Dongdu and he could return to Chang'an at any time.

Zhang Shuo stood in the spring breeze, with a large group of officials behind him. They knew who was coming.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, are you tired of the journey?"

As soon as Li Yi's ambulance stopped, Zhang Shuo didn't care how much older he was than Li Yi.

He was so proactive and enthusiastic that he almost licked his knees.

"Old Zhang, your Henan Prefecture looks good. If it develops for a few more years, you will be a great contribution."

Li Yi observed and talked with Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo paused slightly: "How many years?"

"The train will be available this year, and Henan Prefecture is very important. It depends on the situation. It can develop well in two or three years, and it can also develop well in five or six years."

Li Yi did not give a specific number. God knows when Zhang Shuo can return to Chang'an.

When to go back will indicate when Henan Prefecture has developed well.

"Is there anything else to do in Henan Prefecture right now?" Zhang said, writing down two numbers, two and three, five and six.

"First prepare to plant new indica rice. There are many people and cows. You can soak the ground with water immediately after planting one crop, turn out the roots, and then rake them away.

Pile it somewhere else to ferment, and put the fermented mature fertilizer in the field. In this process, new rice seedlings will grow.

See how many crops can be planted this year, and finally plant cabbage again."

Li Yi thought about the local climate. It will be planted in a month, and now he needs to pile the fertilizer in the field.

Here in Henan, there were many places where wheat was planted. Oh, there are also many wheats in Shandong in Henan Road of Datang.

Here in Datang, it depends on the place. Wheat is still planted in places with less water, and rice is naturally planted in places with more water.

Indica rice has a short growth cycle and needs temperature. The temperature is high in places near the Yangtze River, and the temperature is not low in places near the Yellow River.

Just after the Spring Festival, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, some places in Chang'an were still below zero, but now it is 24 degrees above zero.

The water melted and left, and the riverbed of this section of the Yellow River was exposed.

Before arriving at the place, Li Yi saw many people reinforcing the river bank in preparation for the spring flood.

Once the river opens in the upper reaches, the impact will be great.

Take this opportunity to reinforce and clean up the silt at the same time.

In the past, the river bank was simply desilted and repaired every few years, mainly because there was no money.

This year there is money, I have it myself, the tax I have received.

"Write it down?" Zhang said, turning his head to look at his followers, and everyone nodded repeatedly, remembering it, that's all.

"Xiao Yi, how do you think the river bank is being repaired?" Zhang said, puffing out his chest, waiting to be praised.

In the past, when the river bank was repaired, it was guaranteed that officials would find someone they knew, and then cheat and make some money.

This year, there was no such thing. He himself made a surprise attack almost every two or three days, and he didn't necessarily go to which section of the river.

Small officials helped to keep an eye on it, and the people were also told that if they found that the price of any material was too high, or that inferior materials were sold as good ones, they would be rewarded if they reported it.

The quantity and price of wood, stone, rope, basket, sack and other things were all made public.

"We should take this opportunity to get rid of the ants." Li Yi said without exaggeration, and only thought of one thing.

As for how to get rid of ants, the people of the Tang Dynasty knew that there were many kinds of folk methods.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, get out of the way, take a rest, Xiao Yi wants to take a rest."

Zhang Shuo personally greeted them, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with lowering his posture.

He still wanted to go back to Chang'an and wanted to enter the Political Affairs Hall.

Li Yi disagreed, and it was useless no matter what anyone said.

A group of people entered Luoyang City in a lively manner, and Li Yi did not refuse. He stayed in Luoyang tonight and left early tomorrow morning.

Li Yi opened the ambulance and began to examine the officials of Henan Prefecture according to their ranks.

If the rank was too low, they would miss it if they were not examined while waiting for dinner.

"Old Zhang, eat more fish, cook it and eat it, and exercise regularly, for example, go to the mountain I bought and climb it in the name of inspection."

Li Yi was so busy that when it was time for dinner, some other officials who were in poor health gave him a prescription.

There was braised pork on the table, Princess Yongmu's favorite dish.

The key is that Zhang Shuo ate it piece by piece, and Li Yi mentioned it.

Zhang Shuo immediately started to eat other dishes and stopped eating meat.

"Will there be a big flood this year?" Zhang Shuo took a bite of cucumber, swallowed it and looked at Li Yi.

"No, if we have manpower and money now, we need to level the road surface and lay rails. In some places, we need to build bridges quickly while there is less water, using reinforced concrete, and running trains.

Building a large barge, if the bridge is not built by then, it is also a technical job to use the barge to transport carriages one by one."

The grain transport ship used by the Tang Dynasty was not small, and it could carry several carriages.

How to get the carriages up? Lever, rope lever is also a lever.

The people around him hurriedly took notes. No matter where Li Yi spoke, he had to write it down.

On the morning of the seventh day, Li Yi got up very early and examined a group of officials again.

For breakfast, he drank a bowl of milk and ate two eggs.

The team set out again and headed for the seaside.

From Luoyang to the seaside, it is twice as far as from Chang'an to Luoyang, but fortunately the road is relatively easy to walk.

A few days later, Li Yi had not yet arrived at the seaside, and news of another seaside incident reached Chang'an.

Huang An wrote a memorial to Song Jing first, saying that there were foreign merchants who wanted to come to Chang'an to pay tribute, representing their leaders.

This place is called Puluozhong, and it is said that there are many people who are willing to have friendly exchanges with the Tang Dynasty.

Song Jing got the document and sent someone to check. Where is Puluozhong?

After researching for a while, I found out that there is a record of which island, and it was recorded in a book from the Three Kingdoms period.

It is said that the local people have good water quality, but the people are not educated enough, and some technologies are also not as good as those of the countries during the Three Kingdoms period. UU reading www.uukｎshu.net

There is nothing else recorded. Now there is only one place to pay tribute to, what should I do?

Song Jing consulted with Bi Gou and the others. The four of them sat together and worried, should they agree or not?

I don’t know enough about that place, so I need to find people who have done business there, right? Is there one in Chang'an?

While the four were discussing, Li Longji wandered over. Li Longji was upset and hadn't seen Li Yi for several days.

"Your Majesty!" the person at the door said, and four people stood up and bowed.

"Sit down, gentlemen, is the political hall still safe?" Li Longji sat on the main seat and asked casually.

The four prime ministers and assistants hesitated at the same time, looked at each other, and Song Jing replied: "Everything else can be done, but... Huang An, the governor of Guangzhou, wrote that the place is Puluozhong, and the tribal leaders want to contribute to your majesty."

Li Longji nodded slightly: "See you, or not?"

"I think that this is a small country, no, it cannot be called a country, and it is not worth seeing." Song Jing gave his own answer.

"I would like to ask a maritime merchant who is familiar with the local situation to learn more about it and then make plans, especially the local military strength." Su Ting expressed his thoughts.

Zhang Jiuling followed up: "We can find him from Guangzhou."

"What did Bi Qing say?" Li Longji nodded and asked Bi Gou.

"Look for Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi knows." Bi Gou said his method habitually.

As soon as he finished speaking, the five people were stunned.

Li Yi is gone and is not in Lijiazhuangzi. Where can he find him?
