Chapter 1016 The high price of honey is allowed, please

On the morning of the fourth day of May, ten thousand Lin Feiqi set off.

They carried four thousand flying monkeys, a large amount of toilet water, alcohol, and gliders.

Zhuangzi began to work overtime to produce the Sky Monkey, and he needed to have enough reserves.

Guo Zhiyun's team only got the last twenty carts of flying monkeys, and each cart had twenty pieces.

On the first day of the attack, he fired out 800 coins and was reluctant to use the remaining 400 coins.

The Flying Monkey was enjoying himself, swish, swish, bang, bang, and then it was gone. It was all money.

To put it bluntly, Datang used technology and money in exchange for the lives of its soldiers.

Now another four thousand are sent. I believe that if Guo Zhiyun uses them well, he can get the entire source of the Yellow River.

There is no need for firearms in Dashi City for the time being. The victory has been won. The sudden cavalry cannot defeat them. The white-clothed food will have to lick its wounds in a short time.

"Quickly, write a letter." Boyan got the news while lying on the hospital bed and asked Isimba to write the information and send it back.

Yesterday, I wrote a letter telling the Tibetan army that the army attacking Dashi City was completely wiped out. Today, the Tang Dynasty sent another 10,000 feathered Lin Feiqi and 4,000 flying monkeys to go there.

Ask Zamp to make some preparations. It is best to... sue for peace. We cannot continue fighting.

Tubo needs to regain its strength and continue fighting, otherwise it may be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

After the autumn harvest, there was sufficient food and grass on the front lines of the Tang Dynasty, but there were not enough soldiers capable of fighting in Tibet.

"After writing it, we were asked to continue sending people to Datang to increase our manpower to deliver the news." Isinba looked at Boyan worriedly.

Boyan was in a very bad condition. He had lost a lot of weight and always had nightmares at night. If it weren't for the great doctors of the Tang Dynasty, he would have...

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, I've thought about it." Boyan squeezed out a smile, then coughed.

After spitting out a big mouthful of phlegm, he breathed easier: "We must learn from the Tang Dynasty, give craftsmen better treatment, research weapons, and cultivate and raise animals."

"The Tang Dynasty will also become stronger." Isimba does not think that complete peace with the Tang Dynasty will be of any benefit to Tibet.

The Tang Dynasty had a large population. Once the Tang Dynasty developed, Tubo would have no chance if it wanted to invade.

Boyu shook his head: "Go west, southwest, expand there, capture the people there, and send people to tell Bai Yi Dashi that the Tang Dynasty will annex them."

"That's all we have to do." Isimba didn't know whether it would work or not. Baiyi Dashi had always fought with Tubo. Now he stopped fighting and joined the fight against Tang Dynasty.

"Find a way to go to places where the Tang Dynasty ships can go, and tell the locals that the Tang Dynasty can eat people and capture people as slaves."

Boyan came up with another plan. Tubo could not cope with the Tang Dynasty at present, so he tried to find ways to create obstacles for the Tang Dynasty.

Isimba nodded in agreement, he didn't really believe this either.

The silks and ceramics of the Tang Dynasty are good things. Don’t others know how to appreciate them?

Unless Tubo paid some money to bribe some people, they would attack merchants from the Tang Dynasty and muddy the waters.

The effect may not be there, but Tubo has paid a lot.

After sending the letter, Boyan seemed to have really thought about it, and his spirits suddenly improved, unlike a return to the past.



The people of Jingzhao Prefecture could not feel their sorrow, knowing that they had won another great victory and captured so many enemies.

The common people began to prepare one by one and prepare to go up the mountain. Tomorrow is the fifth day of May, and the price of mugwort that day will be 10% higher than usual.

In fact, the efficacy of the medicine is almost the same. If it rains on the fifth day of May, it is better to harvest Artemisia two days earlier or later.

Li Yi just wants to make everyone happy. The moxa sticks processed in batches by Lijiazhuangzi will be sold to various pharmacies at cost price.

If the medicine shop does not have apprentices, there is no need to make it yourself.

Those who have apprentices should teach them how to make it, which can save money at the same time, or even let the apprentices pick mugwort.

"Proprietor, a boatload of elm bark powder has just been harvested, but not much honey." Song De had just handed over a batch of elm bark powder and came to report.

"It doesn't matter, the court is collecting honey." Li Yi didn't worry about the honey. He made malaria pills and gave some to the court.

The imperial court used it to sell money and sold it to outsiders. There was no quota for Tibetans and Turks.

Others pay a high price to buy, and there is a quantity limit.

The imperial court collected honey and sent it to Lijiazhuangzi. Some of the pills taken away belonged to the honey money.

Li Yi auctioned it, and the court fixed the price. If others wanted to buy more, they could only bid.

The pills are given a guaranteed minimum price, which is higher than the court price.

In this way, when the court made money, others still said that the Tang court was good.

The Tibetans and Turks could only buy them at a higher price and send them back to the slave owners there.

In addition, Li Yi also smuggled goods to the southwestern barbarians.

The local Tang army opened the market first, and part of the money was kept locally to live on, and part was used to pay for it with things from there.

This year it is expected that many ships will arrive with supplies, including animal furs, medicinal materials, and dried meat.

In addition, they are live animals, which are difficult to keep, the travel costs are high, and they may die on the way.

The local army belongs to the Zhechong Prefecture. They need to support their families. Only when their families are better off can they have fighting strength.

The main thing is to eat well and have strength.

"Proprietor, I heard that someone bought honey at a high price. I don't know who is behind it at the moment." Song De said another situation.

"High price? The people don't know what the honey is used for. They tell Zhuangzi in the newspaper that it is used to make medicine to treat malaria, and they are willing to sell it to Zhuangzi at a low price."

Li Yi is still not worried, he believes that people who learn from him in raising bees will support Li Jia Zhuangzi.

What's more, the imperial court sent people to collect honey locally and in the county. There were people in the village who learned to keep bees and brought honey to sell at a high price.

What's the use of grabbing the honey from Jingzhao Mansion? Use it to make incense? The imperial court has ordered that honey used to make incense must be confiscated.

"Proprietor, then I will go to the printing workshop." Song De agreed and left.

"Don't, don't print newspapers. It's hard for the people to sell more money and let the people make money. I should know who is collecting it, hum! You are playing this trick with me."

Li Yi shouted to stop again and signaled Song De to go and get busy.

He is waiting for the other person to come to the door, but he will not ask for the other person's honey. He will collect it and keep it to see how many days he can eat it.

"Who is the proprietor?" Eunuch Huang Bai was curious, how to guess this?

"Businessmen in Jingzhao Mansion don't dare to steal things from me. People from outside, let's see who has more money now?" Li Yi reminded.

Businessmen in Jingzhao Prefecture are sensible and want to make money, so they cooperate with Li Jia Zhuangzi or imitate some of Li Jia Zhuangzi's behaviors.

When big businessmen from other places come to Chang'an, they need to contact Chang'an merchants.

Chang'an merchants would tell them what they could and couldn't do.

The rest are people from other small 'countries'. Small countries don't have much money, and they still have to buy Jiebao Pills.

"The Japanese envoy?" Huang Bai said clearly.

"They probably want to show me their financial strength and then give me honey to get closer and get secrets from me."

Li Yi guessed that this was the most likely possibility.

He has used it before to buy walnuts. Some people like to play with walnuts and will choose them, and then he takes them all at a high price.

The other party was angry because he couldn't buy it, so he took the walnuts over.

First, I apologized and said I didn’t know the other person also wanted walnuts.

Then he said that he thought the walnuts were edible, but when he bought them, he found out that they were not edible.

I hope the other party can accept it. For example, it costs five yuan per pound, or three yuan.

As soon as the other party saw that it was a matter of selling by the pound, he knew that he was not being bribed, so he bought it, and the line was drawn.
