Chapter 543: Do not seek immediate benefits for the country
"Brother, this oyster was shipped in time. If you don't know the specific situation of the oysters, you should cook them for a while."
Li Yi thought about Bi Gou's affairs and first talked to Li Chengqi about food.
His oysters were shelled for barbecue and raw food.
Oysters without shells usually need to be covered with ice for fresh ones and there is a layer of ice coat on the outside.
Sell it according to the pound, and those with ice coats must be cheap, otherwise everyone will not buy it.
Can it be okay to not hang ice clothes? Time is short.
It is not allowed to be stored for a long time, so many online merchants will reserve and hang ice.
The oyster meat without shells is pressed by mechanical means. When the shell is crushed, the meat will be taken out.
Shells are used to make fertilizer, just like cod's head, providing chemical raw materials.
Li Chengqi was kind and threw the oysters into the hot pot and cooked them.
"Brother Yi, if the transportation is convenient, from Chang'an to the beach, you can send a lot of frozen and hard seafood in winter."
Li Chengqi said about seafood, but he thought of Luoyang.
As soon as the Tang Dynasty caught up with the waterway, the canal transport was not good and there was no food to eat, so the emperor took his ministers to Luoyang.
The Yellow River in Luoyang cannot be moved, but the canal can be moved. Once the canal freezes, it will be digged open to keep it unobstructed.
When you go further south, the temperature is not very low, and the boat can directly smash the thin ice.
When you reach the intersection of the Yangtze River, the low temperature cannot withstand the erosion of the Yangtze River water. If there is ice, a large amount of water will be melted.
"I earned 400,000 yuan this time, so I took it out to Cang'an and Luoyang, where the Tongji Canal was connected to the Grand Canal.
The road is repaired and transported later. Other places will go to Luoyang, Luoyang and Chang'an.
Water is used in summer and land is smooth in winter.
Without the support of the southern material, it was hard to fight the Turks by relying on the provision of supplies between Chang'an and Shu."
As Li Yi said that, he dipped his chopsticks into the wine dipped in white wine and drew a simple map on the table.
The map was part of Gansu and Qinghai at that time, and these places were where the Turks were located.
When fighting Tubo, there were the Yangtze River and other tributaries, and Shu was rich in resources, so you could stand it.
Where did the Great Turks come from? So far, it is still in Shu.
The people of Shu were responsible for most of the war logistics against Tubo and Turks.
They clearly produce a lot, but they leave very little for themselves.
War cannot gather the power of a country, it can only be a quick battle. The Tang Dynasty cannot do so, so it drags on.
The weather was in good condition during the Tang Dynasty, and a lot of food could be grown in Tubo, and all of them were done to Dashi.
This is not possible. If you delay, it should be beneficial to yourself. You cannot expect the people in Shu to suffer losses.
When fighting the southwestern barbarians, the imperial court did not provide food and grass, and he reached an agreement with the salt merchants in Shu.
What people eat is not the people from Shu? Where can plants grow in winter, the people from Shu have to eat more wild vegetables and sell grains to salt merchants to support the front line.
Those who serve one place should only make profits; those who serve one country should seek peace.
Li Yi felt that he was not giving advice for a place.
He had a big plan, and the people in Shu always ate vegetables, which was not the case.
Li Yi thought about it, so he told Li Chengqi that his purpose was to collect supplies from the Tang Dynasty and provide soldiers with the battles between Tubo and Turks.
"Brother Yi, are you going to take out the money to build roads again?" Li Chengqi's chopsticks could not hold the food anymore, and his hands were shaking.
Four hundred thousand pieces, Yi just got it and threw it out.
"Actually, I want to charge tolls, but I know they won't give it to you.
It will be easier for me to build a fast lane from Chang'an to Luoyang in the future.
I live in Bashui Zhuangzi, east of Chang'an, and I have a lot of money entering the Zhuangzi every day.
There is no use for 400,000 extra coins. What I gave is not a cow or a horse, but a coupon."
Li Yi was calm, what was he expecting the court to do with others?
He has money himself, so he should spend it.
Other wealthy families built roads and bridges in villages, and even more powerful roads and bridges in county.
Including some iron chain bridges, they are all led by local governments and sponsored by a group of wealthy families.
There are stone tablets at the bridgehead, and the Wang family is repaired by a certain place.
Lu is directly named after someone from a large clan, such as Zhengkuan Road, which means that someone is called Zhengkuan.
There are also Guanshi Canal, Songjiatang, Feng Jing...
The clan name is hanged, and the family surnames are cultivated by rich people everywhere.
Otherwise, would the imperial court be so hard to deal with local families? Local people would not agree.
I don’t know where the imperial court is, so we know who gets the money to build roads and build bridges.
Li Yi is nothing more than richer, and it doesn’t matter if he has a small road and bridge.
Once he practiced, he would be big, and he would make the official path wide and smooth.
"Brother Yi, you are doing your kindness to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqi was so moved. What a great brother Yi, he would throw it out as soon as he had money.
Such a brother should usually see whoever doesn’t like him, and whoever he impeaches will be abolished.
Even if the other party has no major problems, you still need to adjust the position.
If you give kindness to others, you will get help from others; if you give kindness to the country, you may be searched for your home.
But Yi Di’s house is here, who can copy it?
"So you have to give me power and use power to balance your kindness, otherwise your kindness will turn into grudges." Li Yi said calmly.
"No, don't worry, Brother Yi." Li Chengqi waved his hands repeatedly.
There is no grudge, you just don’t say anything. If you are the prime minister, you must go on.
"Brother, look at this frozen autumn pear. It has been drained with cold water. It looks black outside and the meat inside is white."
Li Yi took out a frozen autumn pear from the basin next to him.
Many fruits are sour in themselves, but after freezing, they melt and become sweet.
Generally, fruits are alkaline, and eating them is good for the health.
Special ones such as plums are acidic, and they won’t be able to eat too much.
How to test whether a fruit is acidic or alkaline? Cook this fruit into ashes and see the pH value of the ashes.
Plums are acidic and are poisoned by eating too much, and contain vitamin B17.
And pears are not. Many pears in the south are thrown away if they can’t finish eating them. Want to sell them? Is it that simple to sell?
They would not make pears into canned food and candy, let alone the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi was also very distressed when he couldn't sell pears.
Li Chengqi is now accustomed to Li Yi's way of saying it: "Brother Yi said that the transportation is convenient, can you transport pears from the south to the north and freeze them?"
“I mean fruits from the south, as long as the road conditions are good enough, fresh ones can be transported.
Even if the freshness is short, the method of dwarf greenhouse cultivation can be used to cultivate it in the north.
Wait a minute, and I can see if I can get the tractor out. That thing is better than a horse, provided that the road must be built."
Li Yi talked about another thing, planting dwarf southern fruits in greenhouses.
"Brother Yi, you will write it back and I really can't remember it. Why are there so many things?"
Li Chengqi found that he could not understand it. If he wanted to learn it, he could only turn it into written materials.
"Okay, when my brother left, bring a few pressure lamps to invigorate and pressurize." Li Yi nodded.
"No, you can't bring it. What if you lose it, the original kerosene lamp is enough, so you must not sell it, Brother Yi."
Li Chengqi shook his head vigorously, and he would rather not use it himself than provide information to the enemy.
"Well, let's eat first. After I finish eating, I will write a reply to Lao Bi. What he is thinking about is wrong. The Ministry of Revenue is not staring at a certain company and trying hard to collect it."
Li Yi talks about some people’s ideological problems that must be corrected.
