During the meal, Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong introduced Li Yi to the scenery of Shu.

Li Yi had been to the past, but at that time there were all buildings, especially Chongqing, which was the most interesting. After climbing the stairs, I finally found it was the first floor.

There are not so many buildings there now, all of them are mountains. Except for the city in Yizhou, the other places are very dangerous.

After cutting down trees and putting rafts, many people die every year.

If you don’t let it in the river, you will be exhausted by land transportation, and more people will die of accidents.

"The road is not very easy to walk there. When you go to Chang'an, you usually take a waterway. You can walk around the south side of the ground." Yang Huanjin said as he drank a little wine, feeling that he was difficult to walk.

Huang Xianrong followed and said, "I heard that Master Li, you have many good ways to build roads to Shu..."

"No, indeed not!" Li Yi shook his head. He couldn't think of any idea to build a road from Sichuan.

There are now official roads, plank roads, mountain roads, and small roads there.

Many years later, the roads are good, unless it is a railway, and other driving is still dangerous.

Road collapses and roadside mudslides.

In the case of mechanical equipment and population development needs, it is difficult to have a good Sichuan road.

What's more, now, the population is small and cannot be used to repair it.

"It's always better than now, right?" Huang Xianrong still hoped that Li Yi would be magical.

"In a few years, looking at the situation, maybe we can build a normal road and blow up the rocks directly, instead of chiseling, burning, and splashing water now."

Li Yi thought of using gunpowder to fry it, but it was still difficult.

When the Tang Dynasty encountered a big stone, it either surrounded it. If it couldn't get around, it would burn it. When it was heated, it would pour cold water on it, and then the stones would explode layer by layer.

"I'm just looking forward to it." Huang Xianrong was reluctant to think about it after hearing this for a few years.

After dinner, Li Yi gave two of them a small jar of spicy sauce.

Add a complete set of drawings, small models and dozens of normal tools to send it to Zhuangzi.

The warehouse started to be opened on the farm, with 1.5 million kilograms of salt, which was a lot.

Li Yi doesn't plan to sell it, he is useful.

"Lord Li is not the kind of person who bullies people." Yang Huanjin held a meeting after returning and told others.

Everyone nodded, and anyway, one million kilograms of salt were given out.

"Come on, let's discuss the matter of growing Sichuan pepper. I'll tell you..."

Huang Xianrong began to explain how much Li Yi would buy and how to plant it in the future.

As long as those things are planted and supplied for a long time, they can make money compared to the salt given out.

The beans are gone, mustard greens are gone, and the peppers are gone. It is not worth much in Shu, and it is too much.

Ship it elsewhere for sale, not enough labor and ship money.

For example, this time, the Chinese New Year was on the road. As soon as we entered Chang'an, employees and helpers took a lot of money to go to the yard and secretly welcomed the door to spend money.

The big businessman and the manager had money. When they entered Pingkangfang, no one suddenly greeted him last night.

I couldn't find the woman when I went in. I heard that the women in Pingkangfang made excuses to refuse after knowing who offended Li Yi.

This time I don’t look for excuses, but I just don’t receive them, and I can’t be rich.

"Tonight we'll be lively, and the news of 1.5 million kilograms of salt will be spread." Yang Huanjin decided to take everyone to play.

"Let's arrange other salts first. If the local salt merchants lower the price, we can agree that no one will be allowed to reduce the price." Someone suggested.

They were worried that some people would use the excuse of offending Li Yi as a downsizing price.

Or if the new well digging technology comes out, the future Shu salt will be cheaper.

The real war has begun and negotiations are difficult.

On the other side of the Zhuangzi, Li Chengqi rushed over in the afternoon.

Seeing Li Yi, I smiled first: "Brother Yi, have you made a lot of money this time?"

"It's just a fair exchange, I didn't bully anyone."

Li Yi shook his head. He knew the rumors about him outside. The prime minister was obsessed with his virtue.

"Yes, our brother Yi has always been easy to talk to. It's just one million and a half kilograms of salt. When will Zhuangzi eat it?"

Li Chengqi was worried that the salt brought by the Shu merchants at one time could be eaten by Jingzhao Mansion for several months.

One-twentieth is considered a county with a smaller population, and there is still a surplus after eating for half a year.

"In a few days, Zhuangzi's affairs will be arranged well, and a lot of salt will be taken away. There is a shortage of staff and needs to be hired from Chang'an."

Li Yi expressed his plan and was about to leave.

The straight line is more than 600 miles away, plus the roads that are circling around, more than 1,000 miles, and it is good to get to the place in a month.

"Are you going to the east of Taihang Mountain? Why not use the canal transportation? The canal transportation is fast. Please contact you for your brother and you will pay."

Li Chengqi has guessed some situations.

When Li Yi heard the elder brother say there was a boat, he thought of something.

"Brother, if you use a boat from the Ba River... it won't work." Li Yi said a little while and rejected it himself.

The Ba River is connected to the Wei River, but the river surface is not wide enough and is not suitable for boats to sail. However, no matter which road you take, it is connected to the Yellow River in the end. If you go to Henan and Hebei, you have to pass through Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi, and it will be unsafe all the way.

"Brother Yi, is it the most severe drought there?" Li Chengqi finally asked.

"Well! The key is not a problem of drought, it is people, from top to bottom, officials and people, ignorant."

Li Yi has confirmed that the drought has not changed.

"What's the use of you going? It's still dangerous. Why not stay in the village and arrange for others to come over." Li Chengqi advised.

He didn't want Li Yi to go too far. One was because he was used to having Li Yi coming to play in Zhuangzi, and the other was because of safety issues.

"Do you still remember the children's performance during the Spring Festival? Help spread the news there and vigorously promote the affairs of the couple."

Li Yi did not say what happened to the endless travel, but mentioned the show.

When Li Chengqi heard this, he laughed: "Why don't you have to wait to spread it? It has been spreading wildly, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes."

"Good and evil." Li Yi smiled. Since everyone was so superstitious, he spread it to the big picture.

"Since that's the case, I'll go and contact you with the canal transportation." Li Chengqi agreed, without delaying much, and ran away again on his horse.

When I arrived in the palace, it was a little dark.

"If he goes out, Yulin Feikai will pay 500 yuan. He will take care of the expenses along the way. He will still keep 10% of the profits and not spend them, and give him a chance to spend them."

Li Longji knew the situation and said to Li Yi with a smile.

"Uncle is timid, I'm afraid that when will His Majesty remember that there will be a 10% profit outside?" Queen Wang smiled.

She already knew that Li Yi took the money given by heaven and earth alone, and then the copper coins and silk were specially built into the warehouse.

He looks like he is ready to come and pull him away at any time, and never dares to move.

Li Dan sighed: "Only by acting like this, you can be safe and know how to advance and retreat."

Concubine Dou Lu said with a heartache: "That child is also very pitiful. She is not old and takes care of a farm and many people. She is always worried about cooperation. I wonder if he will keep the salt alone this time."

Li Chengqi spoke out: "I guess Brother Yi will use it to do big things. Others are greedy for money, but Brother Yi is unwilling to save a lot of money."

"The canal transportation has been arranged, I hope he will go and return quickly, so that it will not be delayed for too long." Li Longji glanced at Queen Wang's stomach.
