Chapter 2096: Railways Pave the Way for Stable Transportation
"Don't work for the next two days. Go to Zuixianju for a warm bath and ask someone to give you a massage.
I'll prepare the medicine for you. You can take it to boil. I'll write it down and show it to them so they know how to deal with it.
You need a frame to carry stones. Can't you do it yourself? I'll ask someone to send a message to Zhuangzi and ask him to send it there."
After the imperial physician took the pulse, he looked at the man's back again, asked a few questions, and gave medical advice.
"Ah? Not working? No, no." The man with back pain shook his head repeatedly.
"Go get Zhuangzi's nurse." The imperial physician ordered, and his apprentice rushed out.
Not long after, Li Yi got the news.
"There are few tools. Some people are working hard and their bodies can't bear it."
After hearing this, Li Yi knew the reason. Livestock are responsible for carrying things.
Then someone was anxious and carried it himself.
If you carry it normally, there is a wooden frame on the shoulders, and there are straps on the chest and waist.
Carrying stones will not hurt the back, because the wooden frame blocks it.
The straps allow people to use their strength, which is a uniform force.
A sack can carry 70 kilograms of stone, and a rack can double it without getting hurt.
Like weightlifters, they all have corsets. Let them take off the corsets and see if they can still lift it?
"Boss, arrange for them to take a hot spring bath?"
Song De was listening nearby and asked.
He said 'they', and if there is one person, there will be more people who are so tired.
"Go! Pay the wages as usual, and don't leave the root of the disease." Li Yi agreed.
"Handsome boss, Xun Xin wants to talk."
A small robot slid over from more than ten meters away, and the voice was still so cute.
"Answer! Add the adjective 'handsome' next time."
Li Yi smiled, and the little robot also knew how to tell the truth and had vision.
"Okay! Connected." The little robot responded.
"Boss, a group of people came from Xiangzhou, a total of 21,110 people.
They are all unregistered people, and they want to be registered in Luoyang. How to settle them?"
Xun Xin's voice came out, and someone else arrived, from Xiangzhou.
"Meng Haoran's hometown, Han Xiangke, why are there so many unregistered people there?
Settle them down, live outside the village first, check your health, and take care of yourself.
Then work with the people coming from the southwest. The boats from the southwest are slow and haven't arrived yet."
Li Yi was a little surprised by the arrival of the people, thinking that those people had contact with each other and came together.
Xun Xin said he understood and made arrangements.
Li Yi stood up, looked around, and saw someone: "Old Yao, go check what happened in Xiangyang? Is it that there have always been people there, or has a large number of people lost their household registration appeared in the past two or three years."
Yao Chong began to arrange manpower, and Yao Chong came over by himself.
"Xiao Yi, I think more people have arrived one after another. Are the tasks scheduled?"
"No! There are not enough people. I want to build a railway from here to Xiaoluonan Village, connecting it to the railway from Luoyang to Liyuan."
Li Yi took a knife to cut the grapefruit peel, preparing to dry it in the shade and mix it with other medicinal materials.
There are many grapefruits in this season, and each neighborhood has specially placed baskets for collecting grapefruit peels. Even if the shape is not very good, it can still be used as medicine.
Yao Chong narrowed his eyes: "The road of dozens of miles is flat. It costs money to build a railway just for people to go to Zuixianju to play?"
"Shouldn't the tertiary industry be developed? My Zuixianju pays so much tax every year."
Li Yi took another whole grapefruit and prepared to peel it and give the flesh to others to eat. He only wanted the skin.
"Tourists go there, the road conditions are good, and the railway is important. Twenty-five miles of railway... Alas!"
Yao Chong stamped his feet and turned to leave. He was angry, but he had no choice.
"It's thirty-five miles. There are many mines in the area, and they extend into it."
Li Yi didn't want to make Yao Chong sick. If he fell ill, he would have to treat him.
"What kind of mine? Don't talk about coal mines. You have allocated too many coal mines in Henan Prefecture. They are not worth money."
Yao Chong turned around and picked up a large grapefruit and pushed it in front of Li Yi.
Li Yi began to peel the grapefruit for Yao Chong. The thin skin on the outside had to be peeled off, and only the flesh inside was eaten. It was not bitter.
"Let's start with the construction of the match factory. Why did I build the match factory in Luoyang instead of somewhere else?"
"Why?" Yao Chong asked in cooperation.
"Because there is a phosphate mine in Feishan County, there is a river there, called Yishui, which originates in Xiong'er Mountain and eventually flows into Luoshui.
Water transportation is limited by seasons and climate, and the water level rises and falls, and it is impossible to transport stably.
There is also bauxite. We have bauxite in the refractory furnace just now after smelting.
I can also extract aluminum from it, but it is not used at present, and the industrial foundation is weak.
Building a railway will facilitate transportation. How can dirt roads compare to railways for transporting ore?"
Li Yi finally made it clear that he was not idle and had to build a railway for Zuixianju and Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion there.
Phosphate ore, bauxite, iron ore are not needed, too little, and the quality is not good, and coal mines are not comparable to other places.
Yao Chong happily picked up the fruit pulp: "I know that you, Xiao Yi, will not do such a waste of money and labor."
"Not necessarily. If I feel happy one day, I may build an Afang Palace for my Wen Tian."
Li Yi would not bear the name of a gentleman, because others would take advantage of him and deceive him.
"It's too big, and Acheng is not completed yet, which is a sign of the country's demise. Don't do it."
Princess Yongmu listened and shook her head happily.
Afang Palace is not a good thing. It still exists now, called Acheng.
Xiaolan agreed: "There are materials and manpower, use them to build roads. Although the palace is big, how can it compare to the long road? How can the people be satisfied with the luxurious house?"
"Xiaolan beautiful sister said it very well! Have tea!"
The little robot pushed a can cart with a water outlet underneath, and teacups were placed on the cart.
"Our cute little robot is here, kiss."
Xiaolan rubbed her face against the small robot's round, neckless head.
"Blushing!" the little robot responded.
Yao Chong looked on with envy and wanted to have one. He reached out and picked up a teacup, took the tea, took a sip and frowned: "What tea?"
"High breaking, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net is on the fifth level." The little robot gave the answer.
"Oh! The worst tea crumbs are not from the first grade?" Yao Chong knew.
"The worst ones are from the fifth grade. The first grade is too expensive. This one is for the common people to drink, and a lot of it is made."
The little robot corrected it. There is a lot of difference between going up to the fifth level and going down from the fifth level.
Yao Chong took another sip, OK, he can drink it: "Provide tea for the people?"
"New arrivals in Luoyang are not accustomed to the acclimatization and climate. Drink tea to regulate the flora in their bodies."
Li Yi said, if people who come from other places are 'sick' here, they can't be prescribed other medicines, just drink tea.
Especially for those who eat meat, their gastrointestinal tract is not adapted to the fact that meat was not available in the place where they used to be, and suddenly meat is available all the time.
Yao Chong suddenly realized that he took another sip and found that the tea was sweet: "Isn't it cheaper to break the tea leaves from the fifth grade?"
"It's exported! It's been sent to the Guangzhou Shipping Department and sold to barbarian merchants!"
The little robot gave an irrefutable reason. The last seeds of the highest-grade tea leaves were exchanged with the barbarian merchants as good things.
When sailing on the sea, everyone feels uncomfortable. Drinking tea can indeed prevent and treat some diseases.
