Chapter 1572 Military Supplies Go West and Flow Against the Current

Bi Gou and other prime ministers went downstairs with fatigue and melancholy, but Yao Chong and others walked easily.

Princess Yongmu continued to sell goods. Li Chengqi said he would go to the Workers' Union to arrange the tools that Li Yi had given him, and by the way, he would give the patent rights to the craftsmen.

Changsun Xin went back with his staff to arrange the cooperation with Li Yi. He did not negotiate at all. Li Yi said he wanted 70% and 70%.

Li Yi flew again and went back to continue to practice with death row prisoners.

A large amount of materials continued to be transported to the source of the Yellow River and the northwest. When the local construction was completed, the source of the Yellow River could feed back sheep, herbs, yaks, and horses.

There were a lot of fruits, raisins, wine, dried cantaloupe, sheep, and jujubes in the northwest.

Jade has not yet been sold at a high price. The expensive jade is in Lantian County, Lantian jade.

Both are nephrite, including the other two famous jades.

The fine texture of nephrite is one aspect, and the key is that it is easy to carve.

The stones from other mountains that can be used to attack jade are not expensive. Diamonds are too hard to be processed as tools.

Jade is hard jade, which people in the Tang Dynasty do not like, and the same is true for chicken blood stone.

Even soft jade is not easy to handle. When cutting, it is obviously not possible to hit it with a hammer.

The craftsmen used ropes, saws, and hemp ropes dipped in water.

It is even more difficult to carve, and alloy metals and meteorite smelting are needed.

Li Yi is not interested in any jade, and can only be used as collateral for currency issuance.

He wants Dzi beads. Does the exchange voucher have credibility there? If it can be exchanged for Dzi beads, he will have it.

However, he will change the beliefs there in the future. Don't believe in anything else, just believe in Chinese civilization.

The things from Jingzhao Prefecture were sent to the northwest, and the grain ships came. Sixty grain ships with a thousand stones came at a time.

It was sent in the name of the Guangzhou Governor's Office. First, find the court and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue heard that it was from Guangzhou, he didn't dare to manage it, and hurried to find Bi Gou.

"Grain? Rice? Sixty thousand stones of rice? Indica rice?" Bi Gou asked.

"It's indica rice, it grows better than the indica rice that Doctor Li found, and the grains are big." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue gestured with his fingers, it was this big.

"It's not the time for grain transport now, Guangzhou... Let's go and find Xiao Yi."

Bi Gou didn't want to ask himself, Guangzhou's affairs, go ask Li Yi.

Sixty grain ships unloaded at the dock, one car after another, put on the rotating track and pushed, efficiency and safety were improved.

The income of the people working at the dock increased accordingly, the more prosperous Jingzhao Prefecture, the greater the throughput of the dock.

"Another bag leaked, where is the sack, too brittle."

A man who got on the boat to load rice on the car just grabbed the sack and it leaked directly.

"Don't worry about it, change a bag, and deal with it last, fast, efficiency, this is called efficiency, don't delay." The person next to him shouted.

Bi Gou came in person, he sent someone to find Li Yi, and when he came out, he slid over Li Yi's situation through the cableway on the river.

Li Yi was in the operating room and didn't see anyone.

"How did you find the rice?" Bi Gou didn't think there was much.

Sixty thousand shi of rice, into a dou, six hundred thousand dou, a dou of rice is ten coins, six million coins, a total of six thousand strings.

He is the Minister of Revenue, when did he count money in thousands of strings? Isn't it all ten thousand strings!

"Bi Zaifu, I am Huang Li, the assistant military officer of the Cangcao Si Cang, with the courtesy name Gangchang."

The person in charge who was brought over raised his hand to speak.

As he spoke, he looked around.

"What are you looking for?" Bi Gou looked around in confusion.

"Are Prime Minister Song and Prime Minister Zhang not here?" Huang Li wanted to find Song Jing and Zhang Jiuling.

Song Jing was a senior official in the Guangzhou Governor's Office, and there was a monument for him, but he refused.

Zhang Jiuling was the Maritime Envoy in Guangzhou, and they were all familiar.

"I am the Minister of Revenue, why am I looking for them? You... I am familiar with Li Yi from Lijiazhuang. Do you know anyone from Lijiazhuang in Guangzhou?"

Bi Gou understood instantly that he wanted to see an acquaintance.

"I know it well, and there is nothing more familiar. In this case, I will talk to Prime Minister Bi.

There will be five batches of grain ships, each with 60 ships.

We will transport it to the Yangtze River by land, and then transfer it to grain ships from the Yangtze River. We are short of manpower, so we will come in batches.

This is the rent paid by the mountain people in Guangzhou this year. The mountain people have become naturalized citizens, and they are grateful for the grace of the court. They exchange goods for rice and transport it to Chang'an."

Huang Li introduced the situation. They took the land route built by Zhang Jiuling from Guangzhou, and transported it to the Yangtze River with great effort, and found a ship here.

They paid for the freight and other things. They probably paid extra money to find connections to get grain ships.

Bi Gou was moved. He didn't care about the money. Six batches were only 30,000 strings.

He couldn't figure out where the mountain people got the money to buy food to send after they were newly naturalized. Are the mountain people so good?

Just joined the official family of the Tang Dynasty, and thought of bringing things to the family and fulfilling their obligations.

If so, the local officials...ah! Yes, the people from Lijiazhuangzi went there.

Lijiazhuangzi sent a team to take over the specific work of the entire Guangzhou Governor's Office.

He looked at Huang Li and softened his voice: "Is life in the local area still good? The grain has been delivered. Is it enough for the people to eat and use at home?"

Huang Li hid back, not quite adapting.

"I'm asking you a question." The person next to him reminded.

"Oh, enough, there is plenty of grain, and it can't be eaten up. It's cheap. The mountain people hunt a rabbit skin for 20 shi, and raise a chicken for 10 shi."

Huang Li guaranteed that he would not starve. There is rice and meat. Don't worry, we have enough food and clothing, and we will be well-off if we work hard.

"How many chickens can be raised with 10 shi of grain?" Bi Gou muttered in surprise. How many sacks of rice can a chicken exchange for?

"Chickens eat less food, so we raise pheasants and roam them. They are not easy to get sick, but they are always stolen by wild animals. We can kill them."

Huang Li thought he was asked, and he gave an answer.

Bi Gou narrowed his eyes: "Do you think you have made great contributions as a local official?"

"It's okay. It turns out that there is no such good life in the local area." Huang Li nodded gently.

"If so, why didn't you naturalize the mountain people and send a lot of rent in the past?"

Bi Gou didn't want to give credit to local officials, thinking that it had nothing to do with them.

Huang Li was stunned, and then he became a little angry, whispering: "Where did the Ministry of Revenue of the court get so much money in the past? In the past, silk and copper coins were used as currency, and more places used barter."

Bi Gou: "..."

After more than ten breaths, he took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath. He almost couldn't catch his breath. He was too uncomfortable to be criticized.

Thinking carefully, there is nothing wrong, why mention the past?

"Hurry up and take a rest. There is no rush for the handover." Bi Gou chose to forgive the other party. It was not easy for everyone.

"We will live in Lijiazhuangzi, not in the place arranged by the court. We want to eat in the canteen of Lijiazhuangzi. It's all agreed."

Huang Li refused to be arranged and led the team here by himself. He gave benefits to the other three warehouse assistants. Otherwise, how could they grab the position?

"It is arranged for you to go to Lijiazhuangzi."

Bi Gou was tired. A mere warehouse assistant dared to confront the prime minister?

Do you believe that I will remove you, an official of the seventh rank, if I get angry?

"Thank you, Prime Minister Bi." Huang Li was satisfied and no longer angry.

He turned around and called his people to hand over the counting work. There was no need to wait for the number. What if there were more or less?

Let's go to Lijiazhuangzi quickly, the legendary place.
