Chapter 1893 Supply and Demand Structure Under House Arrest
Zhang Jiuling returned to the political hall and first wrote a letter to tell his hometown to continue building roads and put pigeons in bamboo tubes to fly.
"The budget for road construction needs to be increased, and I finally know how to spend the extra money."
Bi Gou looked at Zhang Jiuling's letter and sighed.
Without a wide road, steam engine vehicles cannot move, and at least two vehicles need to be able to stagger.
The road surface does not need to be three feet wide, two feet is enough.
"People in the south of the Yangtze River have more leisure time in winter. Spending money on hiring people to build roads is an opportunity to increase people's income."
Song Jing habitually considers issues from the perspective of people's livelihood. The imperial court spends money to build infrastructure, and the people make money and live a better life.
"People have more money and prices are rising." Su Ting pondered and discovered the problem.
A large number of people who have nothing to do in winter have extra money to buy delicious food and meat, and meat is expensive.
"Yes, they buy pork to eat, and the pig farmers make money, and then use the money from selling the pork to buy grain, and the price of grain increases again."
Bi Gou was bypassed. After he finished speaking, he said to the little robot who was forced to take him to the political hall: "Contact Li Yi."
"I want to bask in the sun." The little robot protested.
"After I have finished speaking, I will move you out. You are not allowed to go far." Bi Gou gave in.
When Li Yi received the news, he was drawing drawings of internal combustion engines and smaller steam engine cars.
He wanted to build an internal combustion engine-powered ship that was lighter than a steam engine and would not go far into the ocean.
Wander around the offshore and occupy some nearby islands. There are local residents who are not afraid and give them benefits.
Japan and Silla were used for trade, while Liuqiu and Ryukyu became their own.
Including some islands and reefs that no one goes to, as well as some inhabited islands and reefs. The people who live there have no nationality and are of Tang Dynasty origin.
The greatest role of internal combustion engine ships and steam engine ships is actually in warfare.
In naval battles, sending out steam engines and ships can bully oars and sailboats, and there is no need to fight against the enemy.
"Lao Bi, the little robot needs to be recharged. If you don't catch it, will you carry it back when it runs out of power? How about I give you a set of human-powered generators and you can recharge it."
Li Yi first heard the complaint from the little robot. It said it was under house arrest and was about to starve to death. It's just pitiful to hear the little movement.
"It was cold in the morning. I was afraid it would freeze, so I sent it outside. It was just afternoon and the weather was hot." Bi Gouxian said shamelessly.
Then let’s talk about what happened just now: “Paying money to the people who are recruited, the people will have money to shop, and prices will increase. Could this be inflation?”
"Building roads in winter? The north bank of the Yangtze River has a short cold period in winter, so it is really suitable.
When the price of grain rises, there will always be a way to raise the warehouse. When the price of meat rises, there will be a way to raise pigs. Where there is demand, there will be production. It is most convenient to raise pigs around Dongting Lake.
Steam boats can go fishing in the Yangtze River in winter, and the price of fish drives down the price of other meat.
Recruit fishermen to help process the caught fish, and the fishermen will not be affected by the large-scale sale of the catch. "
Li Yi wanted the other party to read well, but felt it was a waste of words, so he might as well say it directly.
"Ah! I have remembered the relationship between supply and demand. Let's go! Take you out to bask in the sun, no one will generate electricity for you."
"It's not enough at all. It's late. I have to find a place to charge it at night. Boss, you can wind the coil and hang it on the steam engine to generate electricity."
Bi Gou talked to the little robot, who complained and gave Li Yi advice.
"Yes, I'll hang it up. The coil is easy to wrap." Li Yi agreed.
After the little robot became silent, he put aside the drawing of the diesel internal combustion engine and drew the structural diagram of the generator.
It's the same principle as adding batteries to telegraph machines and shaking telephone lines. Add more batteries and store them after generating electricity.
We can't always rely on the things he exchanges his life for. Datang needs its own industrial system.
A steam engine is used to generate electricity, which is very powerful, and the small robot can change its voltage while charging.
The little robot that regained its freedom said nothing in order to save power.
If you let it bask in the sun early in the morning, it will hum a song, and you can even chat with it when someone passing by is bored.
"It is in the book that the relationship between supply and demand promotes the development of productivity." Bi Gou turned to Su Ting and Song Jing and said.
The two of them looked away. There was so much knowledge in the book that they couldn't remember it.
How many books do you need to memorize to take the imperial examination? The books written by Xiao Yi come one after another, and they are related to each other.
"The strong and soft villagers have gone over, and I believe they will help guide the local people. He attaches great importance to the places around Dongting Lake."
Zhang Jiuling said a reassuring word, don't worry.
…
Envoys from other countries were worried at this time, and they ran to the south of the city.
The steam engine car stopped, and the craftsmen on the Zhuangzi were checking the situation and collecting data.
The car stopped automatically, it didn't mean it had broken down and had to stop.
Post-Turkish people looked at the wheels and thought they could run on the grassland because they were big.
They looked at the car body again and put iron plates on it. Bows and arrows couldn't shoot through it. How many people could fit on it?
"We need more information. Don't be careful with what you say in the future. If Princess Jincheng doesn't intercede for you, you will die there."
Isimba talked to Boyan who had just been released. He was not sensible when he first came. He kicked the shoe-cleaning child and his legs were broken by Boyan.
Now that he is trying to be smart, he is worried about Bo Zhen. What's the use of testing him?
"It's definitely easier to use than a horse-drawn carriage. It can carry a lot of goods. Can it be taken apart and transported to Tubo?"
Boyu didn't have a bad temper. He was punished when he was under house arrest.
He was locked in a large dark room with two kerosene lamps and a lot of diesel.
There are also big buckets and flushing toilets.
The food was canned food and instant noodles, nothing was missing, even pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
He could not hear the noise outside, nor could he see the light outside.
He did not care for the first two days, he ate, lit the lamp, went to the toilet, and sat on the floor to think about things.
After a few days, he did not know whether he was in the day or night, he could eat or not, and he did not seem to be hungry.
He was afraid of the dark, always kept a kerosene lamp burning, and turned down the flame when he went to bed.
He began to suffer from insomnia, thinking that he had slept for a long time, but was still sleepy.
Yesterday he could not stand it anymore, screamed, and banged his head against the wall, knocking himself unconscious, and there is still a bump on his head.
After getting the news, Chidai Zhudan was reluctant to let a good minister die, so he begged Princess Jincheng, and Princess Jincheng came forward to intercede, and then he was released.
He held a clock in his hand and checked the time from time to time.
He lost his sense of time in the small dark room, and finally understood how scared he was.
Knowing that it was Li Yi's idea, he didn't dare to scold, fearing that he would be imprisoned again. It was too immoral. He had food, but he actually lost several pounds.
Enduring the pain in his head, he raised the bell to his ear to listen to the sound, and he found that happiness was so simple.
"It will not be used in the war for the time being. There is no place for it at present. Li Yi of the Later Turks does not take it seriously."
Isimba learned about the situation from others. The big guys have to run around in the twenty counties outside Chang'an.
There are also small ones to replace cattle and horses to plow the land.
It is difficult to use them in war. The number is small and it will not work. Fighting the Later Turks, they can run away at any time.
With a large number, it is better to develop Datang first. If the speed of ploughing the land is fast, it will solve the big problem!
