Chapter 1700: Patrol Training for Far Sail

Bi Gou didn't want to meet a petty official, but it was Li Yi's linkage and money operation that made him feel that even the most junior people had absolute value.

"Here, please be quiet. The baby is sleeping. If you wake him up, he will cry. You will be very upset!"

The little robot was caught by Bi Gou while strolling with a cold juice on his head, so he had to lead the way.

"I'll save it," Bi Gou said, picking up a glass of juice.

He found the little robot particularly interesting. As long as he was on the boat, he could see the robot wandering around at any time.

You can stop one by waving and talking, and ask who is where, and it will basically answer. Unless your status is too low, and you ask where His Majesty is, the little robot refuses.

Outside the door, Bi Gou hesitated slightly, then lowered his voice as the door opened and said, "Don't disturb me, baby, I'm here to take a look."

Jia Zhangqiu was the most excited. He knew Bi Gou, and the ministers and ministers were always strolling outside. He stood up and said: "Bi Shuling."

"Yeah!" Bi Gou responded, bent over to look at the sleeping baby, and smiled.

Half a minute later, he straightened up, nodded to Jia Zhangqiu, and walked out first.

Jia Zhangqiu followed immediately, so excited that he couldn't even move.

"Dongzhu Li is amazing!" the child's father exclaimed. Zaifu, a high-ranking being, came to find a low-ranking official in person.

Jia Zhangqiu's family members were both excited and worried. Like people waiting for the outcome of the trial, they suddenly fell silent.

Twenty minutes later, Jia Zhangqiu came back, his excitement disappeared, and he said with a solemn expression: "The taxes of the Tang Dynasty were taken from the people and used for the people. Tax officers who abide by taxes are protecting the country and the people. They have a heavy responsibility."

"His uncle, are you ready?" the mother-in-law asked, unable to understand the meaning of Jia Zhangqiu's words.

"Wei Ping Tiao, give me an official of the eighth rank." Jia Zhangqiu then revealed the result.

…

"Here you go, the eighth grade official. He is old and can't hold down anyone since he is a junior official. He has been handling grassroots affairs all year round and has a solid foundation."

Bi Gou came back from the interview and talked to Li Yi, who was reading and studying on his tablet computer.

Although Li Yi can scan records and has a good memory, looking at technical knowledge, he cannot just memorize it, he needs to understand it thoroughly.

He was reading a medical paper, his head hurt from reading it, and he put down his tablet when he heard a voice: "There are very few businessmen in the Tang Dynasty who have the ability to build large-scale ships. It is not a matter of money, but a shortage of talents."

"You give me a lot of money, but you still can't find a craftsman who can build a big ship?"

Bi Gou took a sip of the iced juice he was holding. It was no longer cold now.

"The Tang Dynasty did not allow the private construction of large-scale ships. There are records of craftsmen who can build large-scale ships. No matter how much money you have, you will eventually have to spend it."

Li Yi reminded, can ships be built casually? Will I build my own car and let it go on the road?

Bi Gou recalled that it was indeed not possible. He asked: "What does it have to do with taxes?"

"Ship-operating is a technical job that neither you nor I can do. The people who operate the ship are hired. Anyone who wants to smuggle and evade taxes will be rewarded if the person who operates the ship reports it."

Li Yi put away his tablet, took the pen and paper on the coffee table, and simply drew a coastal map of the Tang Dynasty.

"Look, Lao Bi, we need more people to patrol the sea and catch smugglers." Li Yi drew a few lines and a group of dots.

"Add more manpower...Xiao Yi, you know what I mean, tell me."

Bi Gao asked what the proportion of the money invested in increasing manpower would be compared to tax revenue.

After thinking about it again, I can think of it, Xiao Yi must have known it long ago.

“At present, the Tang Dynasty is in the stage of agricultural development. Although the Turks, Khitans, Xi people, and Tubo people also cultivate some things, they are mainly nomadic.

The basis of farming lies in land. Coastal areas generally have more mountains, more water, and less fields.

All wealthy places are located in plains. There are two plains in Shu. Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are called the Two Lakes Plains. Continuing downward from the Yangtze River are the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plains. Our location is called the Guanzhong Plain.

The Hebei Province area has many plains but a small population. I call it the North China Plain. There is the Northeast Plain in the Khitan Bohai Sea, and the Hetao Plain where we raise horses..."

Li Yi talked about farming and counting the plains, but Bi Gou didn't remember it. He couldn't remember it. There were too many, so he just listened.

“Coastal areas with little land, such as Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou in Jiangnan East Road, have little land.

With less land, there is naturally less food, and there is not enough to eat. A large number of people starve while holding on to a small amount of land.

The maritime patrol team recruits people to give the people a way to survive and a hope of living a good life, so they will not rebel.

Those who patrol the sea must be able to operate a ship. If they are not good at it, practice it. Once they develop their skills, we will develop outward and pass the sea route in the future.

If there are interests involved, there will be no shortage of battles. Whoever controls the sea will be the ultimate winner. "

Li Yi didn't say at all how much tax money would be invested, and the money was easy to handle.

His purpose was to create jobs and train manpower for future naval battles.

Bi Gou looked at the sea map: "I know the control of the air. Hot air balloons and hang gliders control the sea. If others don't go to sea and defend the land, what can you do?"

"The coastline is long. Do you know where I will land from? Don't you live in production? Are you deploying heavy troops along the coast all day long?

I went to other places to organize fleet trade, and a hundred large ships suddenly approached your place. Will you mobilize your troops?

After you have deployed your troops, I will go to trade. After the transaction is completed and I load my things and return, I will target your place..."

"That's right, you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief the day before. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Soldiers are tricky! What is true is true, and what is true is false!"

Bigou admitted that it was hard to lose control of the sea and be in a state of war.

Fortunately, he never thought that everyone was doing business in a harmonious manner and no one was hitting anyone. Brothers are still fighting, let alone people from different countries.

"When the railway is repaired and they visit Chang'an, we will let them see the yield per mu of seeds and my experimental demonstration fields before selling the seeds."

Li Yi said to answer Ying Bigou's ten million min.

"When I was talking to Jia Zhangqiu just now, I compared the tax revenue of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and found that it was 10 million less."

Bi Gou turned around and came back, his appetite increased.

"Ten million is an imaginary number. If you can earn more, earn more. It depends on other people's needs and financial resources. If they don't want to farm, our seeds are worthless."

Li Yi smiled, why are you struggling with this matter? The one with more money and less money has not yet been determined.

"If you don't even plant it, how can you collect ten million yuan?" Bi Gou found the key point. The imaginary number can be more, but not less.

"It's easy to handle. For example, if the barbarian merchants bring back a boatload of potatoes, they can deduct the tax. The potatoes can be sold for money, and the tax can be reduced for other commodities.

If they would rather pay more taxes than buy potato seeds and find a place to grow potatoes, we will increase the tax to the rate they are willing to buy. "

Li Yi gave another theory: If I sell you something and you don’t buy it, I will make you unable to make money in other ways.

He then added: "Crops will change under different soils and environments. We just use them to see if there are any with better yield or taste.

Nature is amazing and can always help humans discover better things. "
