Chapter 2075 The Canal Will Not Be Abandoned and the Time to Return Is Short
"Let's set sail! Goodbye! I'll send you things later, and I'll take you all to live a good life together. Don't give them away, don't give them away!"
In the evening, when there are no stars visible, the drone takes off and shines like stars.
Li Yi stood on the stern deck and waved goodbye, looking like he couldn't bear to ask others to see him off too far.
The fishermen were always standing on the fishing boats, and there was no one to send them to them. How could they send them to their own fishing boats? The speed is obviously not keeping up. Do you think you are a dolphin?
Everyone was not sad. They had diving goggles in their hands. They had agreed to mail them back if they broke and wrote a letter by the way.
Some time ago, Boss Li sent me something he had made so that he could make a lot of money.
"The sadness of parting is always lingering, hey! Let's go and see how much seafood we caught."
A trace of sadness appeared on Li Yi's eyebrows. Just after sighing, he turned around and took Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan to watch the seafood.
"Sister, Master hasn't eaten dinner yet. Are you hungry? Can you check Master's pulse while eating?"
Li Guizang looked at his master and felt sad.
"Go, go, go, what do children know? Master is happy to solve a people's livelihood."
The little girl said something to her junior brother, then she took a few steps and paused: "But I need to check Master's pulse. It's really not normal. I think the sea water is cold."
"Look, I just said yes!" Li Guizang proved himself.
"You said you were hungry, I said the water was cold." The little girl glared at her junior brother.
"I'm cold and hungry!" Li Guizang was unconvinced. What are you saying?
"Go back and give it to the villagers to try. It will be enough for everyone in Zhuangzi. The rest will be eaten by Third Brother and the others for a few more days."
Li Yi looked at the dog claw snails raised in a low-temperature environment. They were all quite big. He was so happy!
Zhoushan Islands is really a good place, with patches of dog claw snails.
"Just try it!" Xiaolan thought about the number of dealers and nodded.
Later, a large group of craftsmen came with their families.
I think they are still learning, looking at drawings, new weights and measures, using tools, simple parts processing...
"In a few years, we will see if the railway can be built along the canal. It can be built in sections."
Li Yi wished he could build the national road network and railway network of his era, the best in the world, all at once.
"Li Lang, if there is a railway, will the canal lose its role?" Princess Yongmu asked slightly reluctantly.
“Useful, shipping suitable for bulk commodities, long shelf life.
If not used, the canal will be naturally abandoned. The canal not only has the function of transportation, but also has the functions of diversion and flood relief.
If it is not used, it will not be cleaned and maintained. When it encounters a flood, the price paid will be countless times the cost of use.
As the number of steam engines increased, the number of steam engine ships increased, which was beneficial to shipping.
It's like transporting a boat of mustard and switching to the railway next to the canal for unloading and loading. Wouldn't it be better to go directly there? "
Li Yi gave an example. He was initially neglected, but later everyone realized that it was wrong and had to be used.
There is no waste in diverting water from the south to the north and using it for shipping. On the contrary, it promotes economic growth.
Experience and lessons learned. For example, many bridges on the Yangtze River were built too low. Xiaolangdi did not consider sailing at first.
I can't make the same mistake again in the Tang Dynasty. It's easy to step on the shoulders of giants.
"Okay, okay!" Princess Yongmu became happy, then frowned slightly: "How many years will it take to practice?"
"How long does it take to build from Chang'an to Haizhou? Once the double rails are laid, turn around and build it. Let's see how many laborers and steam engines are involved. One year?"
Li Yi was not worried about time. The original Jinpu Railway from Tianjin to Nanjing took four years to be repaired.
At that time, the money was 5 million pounds, and the purchasing power of the British pound, which never set, was very strong at the same time.
But Datang is not weak and can throw money into it. The money spent is actually labor cost, and material cost does not add profit.
For iron ore mining, coal mining, and smelting, only the labor costs, including transportation, are calculated.
There is no need to buy railway tracks. I have not made any money from it and I dare not make any money.
We will continue to build railways and bridges next year.
The Jinpu Railway runs from Tianjin to Nanjing. Why did the Tang Dynasty build Tianjin? So far away, the Khitans occupy it, helping them transport tussah cocoons?
The railway from Luoyang to Haizhou is enough to reach here, but it can't reach the Yellow River.
Without going to Tianjin, the total length can be saved by almost three-fifths, and it can be completed in one year, which is easy.
"I have to think of ways to make money again!" Xiaolan, a rich girl, dared not say that she had a lot of money when she thought about the railway.
“It’s not a matter of money, more crop seeds will be released next year and the yield of indica rice will be higher.
Poultry and livestock are raised in Ezhou and surrounding states, and handicraft technology is passed on to wealthy families and businessmen.
The overall improvement of agriculture and handicrafts in Datang and the increase in overseas trade can support the construction of infrastructure. "
Li Yi no longer considers the collateral for banknote printing at this moment, which is meaningless.
Suddenly there are 10,000 tons of gold. How dare you print out the same amount of exchange coupons?
People don't buy gold with their money, they buy grain, cloth, and meat...
Datang could not digest 10,000 tons of gold internally, but it could allow people overseas to accept exchange coupons.
Tell people overseas to bring exchange coupons to Datang and exchange them for gold.
Exchange the same amount for gold, and the face value of the exchange coupon will be whatever it is.
Overseas barbarian merchants want to use exchange coupons to buy grain. OK, but an export tax of 1,000% will be added. Can I buy it?
Instead of gold and grain, kerosene lamps are better. It’s so convenient to take them back and use them yourself or sell them.
You don’t have spices or grains. Do you have oil? It can be dug in the open air.
I'll teach you how to use wooden barrels. You can take it and exchange fifty barrels for one barrel of diesel.
oops! I’ll give you the friendly price at a loss!
Li Yi thought and laughed out loud.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan look at each other, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Is there anything good going on?
"Li Lang, what did you think of? Tell me!" Princess Yongmu asked softly.
"Yi merchants, it's not easy. We can't always take advantage of them. I'm just thinking about it..."
Li Yi shared how to treat others well. Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands!
Princess Yongmu and Princess Yongmu narrowed their eyes into crescent moons as they listened, "Okay!" Li Lang is kind-hearted.
Fifty barrels of oil for one barrel of diesel, you're losing money. If you don't believe me, I'll give you a hundred barrels of oil, but you'll give me a barrel of diesel?
The three of them happily went to have dinner, and half an hour later the yacht entered the inland river, the Yangtze River.
The drone took off, shouted to the ships in front, and helped with lighting.
Li Yi ate grilled skewers. He didn't eat much in an hour and only drank beer.
He looked at the time and then at the speedometer. It read thirty-five knots.
He curled his lips. He ran more than 140 kilometers and finished it in an hour. You tell me thirty-five knots? Your one nautical mile equals four kilometers?
Is there something wrong with the boat? Why can't it go so fast when I operate it?
This is a yacht, not a record-breaking racing boat. If you add wings, can you fly?
Eat skewers, keep eating skewers, don’t think about it and you won’t have any worries. Just don’t damage the boat.
"You can have dinner at home at noon next year." Li Yi told Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan good news.
He considered that the inland river could not drive at a speed of 140 kilometers an hour, so he needed to hide from the boat, otherwise he would probably be able to reach Zhuangzi at dawn.
Being fast is not just about not bumping into other people's small fishing boats, but it also whizzes by and the waves overturn the small fishing boats.
