Chapter 2286: Market Economy Is Not Closed

After Li Yi finished speaking, he stood by the screen and waited, fiddling with the teaching stick in his hand.

He was only responsible for giving advice, and his focus this year was not on the Northeast.

If there was an emergency, perhaps he could make use of it.

The local Yalu River and the Peishui area were said to belong to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty had no soldiers or administrative personnel to manage them.

No one managed it, but it didn't mean that no one lived there. Some people farmed there and didn't have to pay taxes.

It seemed quite chaotic, and some people robbed, but couldn't find the government.

This time, we sent people there to connect with other places in a line.

The Peishui River is the Taedong River, which can be navigated in summer, and sea vessels can go directly in.

It is convenient for ships to transport materials, and there is no need to go by land.

There are also ships in the Yalu River, and local people are popular in business.

Bi Gou took a sip of tea: "Use money to force it? The people have all come here, how much money do they spend every year?"

"If you want to know how much money they make, they produce things through their own labor.

The banks of the Peishui River are suitable for farming, and there is no shortage of fish to eat. Their fishing tools are not good, and there are few boats. It is very difficult to build a boat.

As long as they are diligent, not only will they make a lot of money, but we can also get a lot of benefits from it."

Li Yi's teaching stick tapped on the screen, and pictures of various fish appeared.

He knew how rich the local resources were, and he had been there when he was traveling.

But if you don't do business there, the local government will confiscate it if they say so.

If you accidentally drift over there in a hot air balloon picking pine nuts, you have to exchange a lot of rice, otherwise they won't let you go.

That's still the Yalu River. If you continue to go there, there are many mountains and dense forests, and the yield of the land you grow is not high, so you are always hungry.

Think about it, they were hungry at that time, let alone in the Tang Dynasty.

In remote areas of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for the people to have a full meal.

Send people over to teach them how to farm, raise livestock, fish, and make handicrafts.

Do they have a country in their hearts? They all belonged to Goguryeo, and the west coast belonged to Baekje.

It has been only forty years since the war ended, and many people have not forgotten what happened in the past.

Including living habits, everyone still has their own continuation and has not been integrated.

Whoever can provide them with a better life will be their emperor.

Yao Chong yawned and glanced at Lu Huaishen, who was raising his head from time to time to sleep.

Asked: "If Silla finds that the situation is not good and sends troops to intercept the people, what should they do?"

"Is it artificial interference with free trade and destruction of market economy?" Li Yi gave a definition.

"Yes!" Yao Chong nodded, whatever you say is what it is.

"It is not easy for us to go to war. We are friendly neighbors. I regret this. We can only trade with Bohai.

We have a large number of muskets, and mobility is the most important, and armor is not needed.

There are many wild beasts in Bohai, and they hunt dangerously. Sell them, including our standard arrows."

Li Yi said compassionately that even if Silla did that, he would not attack.

"Brother Yi is really generous. Bohai needs fishing. Sell them a batch of medium-sized ships and exchange them for slaves or something."

Li Longji followed his concern for friendly countries. It was just fishing. Medium-sized ships were enough. One ship could carry a lot of fishermen with weapons and armor.

Lu Huaishen, who was about to fall asleep, rubbed his face: "In this case, I think Silla will not destroy free trade. They also need hunting and fishing."

"I'm going to check on the ward. Who can you arrange to go? My manor can send a few people."

Li Yi has something to do, he has to go to the ward to see.

He is not responsible for the specific staffing arrangements. Anyway, whoever goes there feels very bitter, it is better to be comfortable in the Tang Dynasty.

The corresponding treatment will be improved, bonuses and benefits will be given.

After returning, they will be promoted to noble titles and honors. Gu

Li Longji and his people also returned to their respective places. They will not discuss specific candidates at night. There is no rush for these few hours.

...

"Eat corn, everyone chooses, and see who chooses the best."

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Li Yi told Bi Gou in advance that they should eat less breakfast and boil corn.

The personnel have been arranged and have already set off. The Yulin Flying Cavalry, the Sixteen Guards, the Recruiting Soldiers, the Henan Prefecture Soldiers, and the Southwest Soldiers each sent 500 people.

One hundred officials and ten farmers.

A transfer order was sent out, and the nine surnames of Tiele sent 1,000 people.

Together with a large amount of supplies, they were transported to Haizhou by train, boarded from Haizhou, and the situation was determined when they arrived at the Peishui River.

If the water is deep enough and the ice is not thick, they will hit it.

If the ice is thick or the current is small, they will take the land route at the shore.

This operation is strategic, and everyone hopes that the team will arrive early.

It doesn’t have to be on the north bank. Will Silla still send troops to garrison on the south bank?

The people there have a hard time in winter. In the past, they sent food first. If it is not frozen, they cast nets to catch fish. If it is frozen, they put poles under the nets to catch fish.

Salt cannot be less. The range of people’s travel is limited. The seawater at the seaside can be used to boil salt. People can’t walk more than a hundred miles to boil salt and bring it back.

Let’s celebrate by eating corn today. Fresh green corn is produced in the glass greenhouse of Lijiazhuangzi in Chang’an.

Corn with husks outside, inexperienced people can't tell what the corn looks like inside.

"Xiao Yi, I'll pick first. I want this one, no, that one, the one next to it, or this one."

Bi Gou pointed here and there, and finally chose the first one he liked.

Li Yi picked it out with chopsticks and put it in the basin next to him.

He dipped his hands in cold water and quickly peeled off the husks of the corn. With a break, the husks fell completely from the roots.

He picked up the husks and shook them, and soon the husks were cold.

He grabbed a few husks with each hand, held them at both ends of the corn, broke them, and with a click, the corn was broken in the middle.

Hurry up and send the leaves, the heat is transmitted.

He picked up a chopstick, and grabbed the corn with the husk, and inserted the chopstick at the broken position.

After inserting two in a row, he handed it to Bi Gou: "Eat it!"

"Hard and soft, no other tools?" Zhang Jiuling looked at it and it was a hassle.

"Yes! But eating it this way will have soul. When I eat it later, I will rub the corn kernels down to see how many can be connected at a time."

Li Yi ate like this when he was a child. He ate his childhood and memories.

"Eating this ear of corn, I don't know how many people's seeds planted in the fields will be delayed." Song Jing was hypocritical after selecting an ear of corn.

Li Yi operated as usual, and didn't respond at all. If you have the ability, don't eat it!

Do you know how many greenhouses I used? It will be ripe in a few days, just in time to plant it in April.

In this way, including the greenhouse, it can be planted twice a year, and they are all selected.

After all the ministers have finished selecting, Li Yi casually picked up an ear of corn and gave it to Li Longji.

Once the husks were peeled off, the uniformly sized corn kernels were exposed.

"So you can tell?" Li Longji understood: "How many acres can be planted this year?"

"Six or seven hundred thousand acres are left outside, and the yield is okay, mainly because the varieties are good, cultivated by people over there.

I have put a lot of effort in the selection and breeding of fertilizers and good use of them.

We can plant more than 200,000 acres in our special breeding land, and by April next year, tens of millions of acres will be planted.

Next, spring corn and autumn corn will be planted in different seasons, and will not occupy other grain-producing land, which is a supplement."

Li Yi said that the situation in the north is more convenient in the south.

It is so convenient that you can eat green corn if you want to eat green corn, and you can eat cooked corn if you want to eat cooked corn, and you can also make a lot of silage.
