Chapter 731: The Salt Gang Is Coming to Raise More Military Funds
"Xiaoyi, Guangping said..."
Li Yi sent the drawings to the workshop, and while eating prawn casserole with Bi Gou, Bi Gou told him what Song Jing said.
Song Jing originally invited everyone to the party to tell everyone not to gather privately in the future, but he didn't say this until they had a bowl of rice.
Song Jing found out, it would be better to get together occasionally so that everyone can come up with ideas.
Especially after he saw Lu Huaishen being tough, he felt that the person he used to be was back.
Lu Huaishen was very good when there was no Yao Chong, and he had no problem taking the lead.
"It makes sense. The military serves politics. Strategy is greater than tactics. Tubo has capable people. The more you think that it cannot fight, the more it will fight."
Li Yi believes that there is the possibility of Song Jing's theory.
"How to deal with it?" Bi Gou came to ask for advice.
He was very relieved to find out that Li Yi was not losing his ambition by keeping toys as Song Jing said.
At least if the new thing is successful, the Ministry of Revenue will be able to collect more taxes. How can we not make people happy?
"It's just a gift. Zhuangzi has reserved a large amount of hot air balloons, diesel, and gasoline. Send it away. Why do you keep it in Zhuangzi?"
Li Yi didn't think it was difficult, so he gave him weapons to support him in the war.
Bi Gou took a bite of the mushrooms in the prawn casserole and chewed it down: "I will give you the military coat. How many compressed biscuits does Zhuangzi have? Buy it from the Ministry of Finance."
"Sky monkeys, explosive packs, and I also developed a grenade that needs to be ignited and thrown manually. It can be thrown about fifteen feet away."
Li Yi also wanted to send gunpowder products to the front line. Zhuangzi was always producing them, so it was time to take them out for consumption.
"Compressed biscuits." Bi Gou mentioned again that compressed biscuits are the soldiers' favorite military ration.
"Three dollars per dollar, you can get 200,000 yuan." Li Yi gave the price and quantity.
Zhuangzi’s cost of making a piece of compressed biscuit is two yuan.
In the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, due to political instability, the price of a dou rice rose to 300 yuan, and then gradually declined.
By this autumn, the price of a dou of rice was twenty cents, which was not as good as the ten cents of a dou of rice during the Zhenguan period, but it was not much worse.
"I want it all." Bi Gou understood that Li Yi didn't want to make money, just 600,000 yuan, 600 yuan.
Bi Gou selectively forgot that he had proposed to stop Xie Fengguan. Xie Fengguan meant spending money to buy an official.
How much does an official cost? Thirty years.
Six hundred min can buy twenty officials, which is not a small amount of money.
"Okay, let's find a team to transport it out tomorrow. We'll spend the New Year at the border. A military coat can solve a lot of problems."
Li Yi wished he could just send all the good things in Zhuangzi to the border gate, because the soldiers were working hard.
"Proprietor, there are two people outside asking to see you, Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong from the Shu Salt Gang." Song De came over at this time.
"Ask me first so I can think about who to talk to." Li Yi did not go to see him directly, but was having dinner with Bi Gou.
"As I said before, they came here when the Yellow River was open, but they never came to see us, and they sold half of the salt.
However, because I brought other goods, the Ministry of Revenue was still able to talk to them, and the tax they collected was thirty to one, but the result..."
Song De stopped here and looked at Bi Gou.
"What happened?" Bi Zou asked.
"As a result, the situation is different now. The Ministry of Revenue is so powerful that they charge them 10% tax because they have other furs and medicinal materials that are said to be of high value."
Song De picked out the words and said them.
"Lao Bi, you are the prime minister, the Ministry of Finance is awesome. Hahaha..." Li Yi laughed heartlessly.
"Invite them two in." Bi Gou didn't even mean to smile.
He knew about the Salt Gang in Shu. Li Yi sent a letter and exchange coupons, and the other party immediately organized people to raise goods.
When the express arrived, the supplies followed closely behind, just as quickly.
The Salt Gang of Shu had contributed to the fight against the southwestern barbarians, but they were bullied when they arrived in Chang'an.
If you do this and then write a letter and send it at the critical moment, will it still be useful?
Song De ran to invite people, but the maids and eunuchs stopped eating and stood up to prepare to welcome him.
Bi Gou and Li Yi also stood up. The two people who came represented the Shu Salt Gang.
Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong came. When they saw Li Yi, they looked embarrassed.
"Dr. Li, excuse me, the tax is too heavy." Yang Huanjin didn't say anything nonsense and clasped his fists.
"Brother Yang and Brother Huang, you're welcome. Let me introduce you, Lao Bi. This is Yang Huanjin and this is Huang Xianrong."
Li Yi returned the gift and introduced two people first.
Then he said to the two of them: "You have to worry about me and Lao Bi. Lao Bi is now the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, the Minister of Huangmen, and a subordinate of Tongzhongshu."
Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong: "..."
"Brother Yang, Brother Huang, please greet me, otherwise Lao Bi will be angry..."
"Xiao Yi, don't tease me." Bi Gou interrupted Li Yi.
He looked at the two of them and said: "Get the tax stamps ready. The salt merchants in Shu will be tax-free. Any money collected before will be refunded."
"Thank you, Zaifu." Yang Huanjin reacted and bowed to the ground.
Huang Xianrong followed closely and bowed, extremely excited.
They knew that Li Yi was powerful, but they didn't want to trouble Li Yi.
I had no choice but to come to the door.
As a result, Li Yi was having dinner with the head of the household department staff who was embarrassed for him and others.
Listen to that title, Lao Bi.
The two of them found other ways, especially the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who didn't even see a minister. They just wanted money.
When I go to Lijiazhuangzi, the prime minister is having dinner. In one sentence, all the previous taxes will be refunded?
"Song De, bring two more prawn casseroles and let Brother Yang and Huang eat them together. They are not outsiders."
Li Yi said to Song De, and invited the two to sit down at the same time, and the maid Taohong went to get the wine.
The two were very reserved, the prime minister.
"I will deal with them later." Bi Gou was still angry. It's okay to ask for money, but it's not okay to cheat people.
He also cheated the Shudi Salt Gang, which was disgusting and chilling.
Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong looked at each other and wanted to beg for mercy, but found that they were not qualified.
"Brother Yang, Brother Huang, come now, you can't go back during the New Year, it's just in the manor, the manor is lively. I will arrange a yard, and the others will go to the front building and light the stove by themselves."
When Li Yi made the invitation while waiting for the casserole, he actually helped the other party decide.
The Shudi Salt Gang really does things, and the freight and other things are paid by the Salt Gang themselves.
"Yes, live in the manor, with Xiao Yi here, no one dares to bully you." Bi Gou said.
The two found that they couldn't refuse, and they really needed a stable place to rest.
It only happens once a year, sometimes twice in three years. Small batches of salt are shipped by land, and more costs too much.
Two casseroles were served, with red oil on top.
"Try it, I believe you will be surprised." Li Yi gestured to the two to take a bite.
Yang Huanjin first picked up a bean bubble and put it in his mouth, his eyes widened. He ate the bean bubble, picked up a small spoon to scoop half of the soup, blew it into his mouth, and showed a comfortable expression.
"Sure enough, the people in Shu are born to eat spicy food. Other spicy things they have eaten before are not as good as this, right?"
Li Yi was happy.
Huang Xianrong did the same operation and found that the spiciness of this casserole was special and satisfying.
Bi Gou looked at his casserole, which had no chili oil in it. He shook his head: "It's not good to eat too much spicy food."
