Chapter 543: Do Not Seek Immediate Benefits for the Country

"Brother, the oysters arrived in time. If you don't know the specific condition of the oysters, you should cook them longer."

Li Yi was thinking about Bi Gou and first talked to Li Chengqi about the food problem.

In his time, oysters were kept in the shell for grilling and eating raw.

Oysters without shells, usually fresh ones, should be packed with ice and have a layer of ice on the outside.

They are sold by the pound, and the ones with ice suits must be cheap, otherwise people will not buy them.

Is it okay to not hang up the ice coat? Time is short.

It won't work if you keep it for a long time, so many online merchants will stock up on ice.

Oyster meat without shells is pressed mechanically. After the shell is crushed, the meat is taken out.

The shells are used to make fertilizer, as are the cod heads, which provide chemical raw materials.

Li Chengqi followed his kindness and threw the oysters into the hot pot to cook.

"Brother Yi, if transportation is convenient, a lot of frozen seafood can be delivered from Chang'an to the seaside in winter."

When Li Chengqi was talking about seafood, he was thinking of Luoyang.

As soon as the Tang Dynasty encountered poor water transportation and no food to eat, the emperor took his officials and ran to Luoyang.

The Yellow River in Luoyang cannot flow, but the canal can. As soon as the canal freezes, it is dug out to keep it open.

Further south, the temperature is not very low, and the ship can directly smash the thin ice.

At the confluence of the Yangtze River, the low temperature cannot withstand the erosion of the Yangtze River water, and any ice will be melted by the large amount of water.

"With the 400,000 yuan I earned this time, I used it to build the Chang'an Tongji Canal in Luoyang, where the Grand Canal is connected.

After the road is built, we can transport it later, from other places to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Chang'an.

The waterway is used for both purposes in summer and the land route is open in winter.

Without material support from the south, and only relying on the area between Chang'an and Shu to provide supplies, it would be difficult to defeat the Turks. "

As he spoke, Li Yi dipped his chopsticks in white wine and drew a simple map on the table.

The map shows parts of Gansu and Qinghai at that time, where the Turks were located.

In the fight against Tubo, we have the Yangtze River and other tributaries, plus the abundant products in Shu, so we can survive.

Where did the Great Turks come from? So far it is still Shu territory.

The people of Shu were responsible for most of the logistics of the war against Tibet and the Turks.

They obviously produce a lot, but leave very little for themselves.

The war could not be fought with the strength of a single country and could only be fought quickly. The Tang Dynasty could not win the war, so it delayed it.

During the Tang Dynasty, the weather conditions were good, and a large amount of grain could be grown in Tubo, so they all went to Dashi.

This won't work. If you want to delay, it should be beneficial to you. You can't expect the people of Shu to suffer.

When fighting against the southwestern barbarians, the imperial court did not provide food and grass, so it reached an agreement with the Shu salt merchants.

Isn’t the food provided by the people of Shu? Plants can grow there in winter, so the people of Shu will eat more wild vegetables and sell grain and grass to salt merchants to support the front line.

Those who work for a country should only seek its own benefits; those who work for a country should ensure the safety of the people.

Li Yi felt that he was not making suggestions for one place.

He has big plans, and the people in Shu always eat vegetables, so that's not the case.

Li Yi thought about it, and told Li Chengqi his purpose, to collect materials from the Tang Dynasty for the soldiers to fight against the Tibetans and Turks.

"Brother Yi, are you going to use the money to build roads again?" Li Chengqi couldn't hold the vegetables with his chopsticks, and his hands were shaking.

Brother Yi just got the 400,000 yuan and threw it away.

“Actually, I wanted to collect tolls, but I knew they wouldn’t give them.

By building a fast lane from Chang'an to Luoyang, it will be easier for me to make money in the future.

I live in Bashui Zhuangzi, east of Chang'an, and a lot of money comes into Zhuangzi every day.

The extra 400,000 yuan is useless, and what I gave is not an ox or a horse, but an exchange coupon. "

Li Yi was calm, what did he expect the court and others to do?

If he has money, he can spend it.

Other wealthy people build roads and bridges in villages, and even more powerfully, they build roads and bridges in counties.

Including some chain bridges, they are all led by the local government and sponsored by a group of wealthy people.

There are stone tablets erected at the head of the bridge, built by Wang in such and such place.

Roads are even named directly after someone from a wealthy family, such as Zhengkuan Road, which shows that someone is called Zhengkuan.

There are also Guanshi Canal, Songjiatang, Fengjing...

Every place with a clan name or family name was built by wealthy people.

Otherwise, why would the imperial court have so much trouble trying to deal with local families? The local people did not agree.

We don’t know where the imperial court is, but we know who gets the money to build roads and bridges.

Li Yi is just richer, and small roads and bridges don't matter.

As soon as he cultivates, he becomes great and makes other people's officialdom wider and smoother.

"Brother Yi, you are doing a favor to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqi was so moved. What a good brother Yi. He throws money away as soon as he has money.

This kind of brother Yi should usually impeach anyone he doesn't like, and depose anyone he impeaches.

Even if there is no big problem with the other party, you still need to adjust your position.

If you show kindness to others, you will get help; if you show kindness to the country, your home may be confiscated.

But Brother Yi’s family keeps it here, who can copy it?

"So give me power and use power to balance kindness, otherwise kindness will turn into hatred." Li Yi said calmly.

"No, no, no, brother Yi, don't worry." Li Chengqi waved his hands repeatedly.

There is no hatred, you just keep silent. If you are a prime minister who should go down, then you must go down.

"Brother, look at this frozen autumn pear. It has been soaked in cold water. It looks dark on the outside, but the meat inside is white."

Li Yi took out a frozen autumn pear from the basin next to it.

Many fruits themselves are sour when eaten, but after being frozen, they melt and become sweet.

Most fruits are alkaline and are good for your health.

Special ones such as plums are acidic, so eating too much is not good.

How to test whether a fruit is acidic or alkaline? Burn this fruit to ashes and check the pH value of the ashes.

Plums are acidic and can cause poisoning if eaten in excess. They contain vitamin B17.

But pears are not. Many pears in the south are thrown away after being eaten. Want to sell them? Is selling that easy?

They didn't know how to make canned pears and candies. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi was also very distressed at that time when he couldn't sell pears.

Li Chengqi is now used to Li Yi's way of saying things: "Brother Yi is saying that with convenient transportation, pears from the south can be transported to the north and frozen?"

“I mean fruits from the south, as long as the road conditions are good enough, fresh ones can be transported here.

Even if the freshness period is short, it can be cultivated in the north using dwarf greenhouse cultivation methods.

Wait a minute, I'll see if I can get a tractor. That thing runs better than a horse, but the road must be built. "

Li Yi talked about another thing, growing dwarf southern fruits in greenhouses. UU reading www. uukanshu.netｔ

"Brother Yi, please write it down later. I really can't remember it. Why are there so many things?"

Li Chengqi found it difficult to understand. If he wanted to learn, he could only turn it into written materials.

"Okay, brother, when you leave, take a few pressure lamps with you to pump up the pressure." Li Yi nodded.

"No, you can't take it with you. What if you lose it? The original kerosene lamp is enough. You must not sell it, Brother Yi."

Li Chengqi shook his head vigorously. He would rather not use it himself than provide information to the enemy.

"Forget it, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll write a reply to Lao Bi. He's worried about something wrong. The Ministry of Accounts is not just focusing on a certain enterprise and trying to squeeze it."

Li Yi said that some people have ideological problems that must be corrected.

After eating, he also wrote a poem and gave it to his elder brother, who will take it back tomorrow.
