Chapter 2338: Foreign and Maritime Affairs Require Further Exploration
"Normally, you don't have to pay for government work? I don't even care if you have to pay for your work in the southwest. How about you, who has the ninth surname of Tiele?"
Li Yi settled accounts with Bi Gou, a Southwestern barbarian with nine surnames named Tiele. He usually worked on large-scale projects and even went out to perform tasks.
The money was always paid out by Li Jia Zhuangzi, and the court pretended not to see it.
"They don't pay taxes where they live. How about someone else raising so many private soldiers? The family will be wiped out by him."
Bi Gou talked about taxes and then mentioned the seriousness of raising private soldiers.
"I am the only one left in my family." Li Yi remembered that he had a family, but the system had done it.
"Uh..." Bi Gou got stuck: "Xiao Yi! Everyone treats you as family."
"So I have to get money, eh... like this, Lao Bi, look! The court doesn't allocate funds, so I will find a way on my own, just like the people with the ninth surname of Tiele and the people from the southwest."
Li Yi suddenly changed his mind. It was about money! Easy to solve.
Bi Gou: "..."
He thought for a while: "Actually... the imperial court should pay for it."
"The imperial court came out?" Li Yi asked.
"It's not...his...oh! Xiaoyi, please tell them what you want them to do first."
Bi Gou is most afraid of this situation and feels that he will suffer a loss no matter which one he chooses.
Others looked at Li Yi expectantly and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"After the telegram was sent, it would take at least two months for them to come over, and the exchange coupons were delivered to their homes, delivered by horse team.
Today is the seventh day of February. It’s almost the beginning of summer since I came here. I’ll train for a month to recuperate my body.
At that time, the awns should be planted. The tea leaves in this season are not tender enough. Fortunately, they can be picked and made into fermented tea. "
Li Yi counted the days. The people who came over could ride horses. When they reached the bank of the Yellow River, they exchanged horses for Datang horses. Someone took their horses back home.
When the Yellow River became civilized, there were not enough boats, so boats had to be used to transport other goods.
Bi Gou breathed a sigh of relief: "Arrange them to pick tea? Do you sell tea?"
Song Jing followed up and said: "The fleets from nearby places will return at that time, and it will be time for them to take away the tea leaves to sell."
"Come back in exchange for food?" Su Ting added.
"First exchange for gold, silver, and copper. There are not so many metals. Exchange for ore, and I will smelt it myself."
Li Yi waved his hand and refused to exchange food.
"Where's the food?" Zhang Jiuling also thought that Li Yi cared more about food.
"The grain is transported by other merchants, and I want to issue exchange coupons.
The people of Tang Dynasty needed more cash to replace other currencies.
The internal circulation of the Tang Dynasty must be satisfied first, and then the imperial currency can be issued accordingly. "
Li Yi Daoming said that in many places, people in the Tang Dynasty still barter for things that are urgently needed, and silk is still used as money.
The people don't like silk, so they have to cut it to buy something.
Carrying copper coins is okay, but they are relatively heavy, easy to lose, and difficult to change.
I can’t sell a steamed bun for a cent, but I just want to buy a steamed bun. What should I do? Credit, give one copper coin when you collect enough.
Exchange coupons are available in cents and jiao, and the cost is higher than the face value. If you have some change, you can buy a steamed bun.
"Yes!" After listening for a while, Li Longji expressed his opinion and decided to trade for precious metals.
"Drink tea and bring the dried fruits." Li Chengqi greeted the little robot.
The little robot always carries a bunch of things with him, including candies, dried fruits, toothpicks, dental floss, pencils and paper, a small mirror, nitroglycerin tablets, and a small oxygen bottle.
Or how could a minister allocate a small robot, carry it with him, push it for fear of wasting electricity, and use it as exercise.
It can save lives at critical moments, a lot of good stuff.
For example, if you suddenly fall to the ground, the small robot will turn into a defibrillator, adjust the voltage and current.
And immediately call the hospital, report the location, and wait for follow-up rescue to arrive.
The hardware of a small robot can be purchased for hundreds of thousands. Compared with the software, the hardware is not valuable. So what if it is one million?
The data background of the small robots is the system, and they all have weapon connection slots on their bodies.
It is now a service type, non-combat type, and can transform into a small battlefield robot when needed.
In conjunction with the reconnaissance drones in the sky, grenades will be blown out of the hole you are hiding in.
New recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. Veterans can hear the impact of artillery shells, but machine guns cannot calibrate and fire at any time.
Encountering an armed small robot, the veteran finally found a big pit to hide from the machine gun.
Suddenly I heard a "bang" sound of a rifle grenade, and my heart went cold, and then everyone became cold too.
Unknown to others, Li Chengqi's little robot came next to him and popped open the drawer: "Take it!"
"There are gaps in the drawers where you hold dried fruits and the like!"
When Li Chengqi was grabbing something, he suddenly discovered the situation.
The normal thing should be that there should be erected around the grid, and things should be stored in it, but not in the drawer. Dried fruits like pine nuts will flow out from the gap and go to other places.
"The one with the grenade needs to be stuck. Now it's loaded with dried fruit." the little robot introduced cutely.
"Where are these identical grids?" Li Chengqi pointed to other small grids.
"Bullets! There are bullet belts, and they are stuck in small grids to prevent them from being displaced after vibration."
"Why doesn't the second drawer have any compartments? Are you holding a small medical kit?"
"As for the explosive pack, if I run out of power, I won't be captured by the enemy and die together with the enemy. There are only 055 who died in the battle, and there are no captured cowards!"
"Don't say it so tragically, you will die together! Why don't I give you a new shell later?" Li Yi spoke next to him. UU reading www. uukanshu.net
So the people who were just moved by the cute voice and content of the little robot returned to normal in an instant, and were almost fooled by the little robot.
"I learned it from Ling San San." Ling Wu Wu found a good brother who took the blame.
"Boss, Song De is on the phone." Ling San San was about to fight back when he suddenly received a call request.
"Boss, Dobugan Modi admitted his identity and said he wanted to see you." Song De's voice came out.
"Where is the person? Bring him here." Li Yi glanced at Li Longji before speaking, and Li Longji nodded slightly.
"Not far, ten minutes away." Song De responded.
"Has the fleet been arranged?" Li Longji looked at the ministers.
"Ten steamships and two hundred sailboats are loading." Su Yan stepped forward.
Song Jing followed up and said, "Each ship has 100 people, and half of the ships can be abandoned."
"Xiao Yi said there is good wood over there. On the return trip, half of the ship can be loaded to press the ship. If there are ores and enough precious metals, the metal can be used to press the ship."
Bi Gou said that the good wood that was used to press the ship back was just right for making wooden ships.
The last prime minister, Zhang Jiuling, also stepped forward: "The goods this time are all luxury goods, matches, small mirrors, kerosene lamps, kerosene, thermos, etc."
"Brother Yi, can you add?" Li Longji asked Li Yi at last.
"Bring more high-power telegraphs to see how far away we can communicate. Zhuangzi is developing a new telegraph."
Li Yi considered the problem of communication. The previous telegraph required a large number of relays.
Just like the signal tower at his time, the telegraph actually only needs enough power, and there is no signal interference now, and it can be sent from the Tang Dynasty to America.
It is not possible at the moment, the technology is not up to that level, and the craftsmen are thinking according to theoretical knowledge.
