Chapter 549 Two days before the opening of Lemin Garden [Monthly Pass Again]
A small diplomatic trouble in the Tang Dynasty, a heinous rape incident in the eyes of the Goguryeo people, and the helplessness in the hearts of other countries!
There are more than 80 envoys in the entire Yingbin Garden, with nearly a thousand people of all sizes. Just the food and drink of these people can bring at least 50 guan of turnover to the shops in Chang'an City every day.
In addition, these missions also cost money.
The high-ranking officials will naturally receive rewards from the Tang Dynasty court, but as for the junior officials, they also have to bring back precious goods from the Tang Dynasty for their families. They should bring a piece of silk floss, or tea from Chang'an, or some
Some specialties of Chang'an.
The Baekje people helped the Goguryeo people buy rice. It was a trivial matter, but it caused a riot in Chang'an City. Anyone who came out of Yingbin Garden could not buy anything. Unless, you can
Prove that you have nothing to do with the Goguryeo people.
"Silla, declare war on Goguryeo!" A clerk stood at the door of Yingbin Garden and shouted in Chinese. Then he found a wooden board with the words Silla declaring war on Goguryeo written on it.
After the clerk finished shouting, he shouted loudly: "We Silla people don't go out to buy. If there are merchants who are willing to come, you can see if we Silla people will help the Goguryeo people buy a grain of rice! Buy a foot of cloth!"
"
At that moment, the Goguryeo people came out to quarrel. It was a mess, and it was more than just a garbled word.
The chief minister of Honglu Temple suffered from a heart attack and fainted on the spot, so he asked for leave.
In the residence of General Tiance, the slave workers from Goguryeo requested that the character "Tang" should be embroidered in a prominent position on the Goguryeo costumes they requested to show that they were from the Goguryeo tribe of the Tang Dynasty and not from Goguryeo.
Mrs. Cui of Qinghe, the owner of the study.
Cui Junsu finally came to his senses. He could sense Li Yuanxing's determination to attack Goguryeo.
"Uncle, Yu County!" Cui Yingying handed over another picture, which was a simple map. Its location is the location of the modern Tianjin Port in later generations. Cui Yingying continued: "The first pier must be able to withstand wind and waves. You can
Dock the ship with thousands of materials, this is what His Highness wants! It must be completed within half a year."
"Rest peacefully, we don't know what will happen in the morning the day after tomorrow?" Cui Junsu carefully put away the two pictures.
In Yu County, there is a branch of the Cui family of the Qinghe River. It is not difficult to add a branch from the canal to the sea. There are already several river mouths there. It just needs to choose a suitable one. It requires 10,000 laborers and can be completed in three months.
It can be done. Getting to the dock is a moderate hassle.
It seems that the progress of the cement workshop needs to be accelerated.
The original plan for cement also needs to be changed.
Cui Junsu suddenly discovered that no amount of cement seems to be enough. If you have 100,000 jins, there is room for 100,000 jins. If you have 10 million jins, it seems that you can still use it all. You really have something.
I am afraid that I want to build a very beautiful straight road.
hour to noon.
The whole of Chang'an was agitated because of Li Yuanxing, but Li Yuanxing was holding a fishing rod and leaning on a boulder while taking a nap and enjoying the noon sunshine. The sunshine in the mountains was soft and warm, making people want to be beautiful.
After a nap, the fish had already bitten the food off the hook, but Li Yuanxing did not move at all.
"Your Highness is so elegant!" Xiao Yu sat next to the stone.
Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to support the straw hat: "Has Mr. Xiao figured it out?"
"I still believe that when great powers deal with small ones, they must either appease them with virtue or strike with thunder."
"Does Mr. Xiao know that Chao is wrong?" Li Yuanxing asked.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything. He was reading history, so he didn't know who Li Yuanxing was talking about. How he didn't know what Li Yuanxing was alluding to.
Li Yuanxing added: "I am young, and some of my words may be too harsh. However, the right way is to combine firmness and softness, and success is what I pursue. Unless you cannot do something, I will never force myself. Forcing yourself is a gamble, a bet on the destiny of the country.
.At present, the Tang Dynasty is not strong enough to conquer Goguryeo."
"My great Tang Dynasty..."
"Mr. Xiao!" Li Yuanxing interrupted Xiao Yu: "Mr. Xiao, can you learn general arithmetic?"
"Although I dare not say that I am proficient, I still know it!" Xiao Yu was still very polite to Li Yuanxing. At least he recognized what Li Yuanxing did, but he did not accept the process of doing it.
Li Yuanxing sat up and first took back the fishing rod.
"How do you think Mr. Xiao will transport grain from Chang'an to Jian'an?" Li Yuanxing asked something that seemed irrelevant.
Xiao Yu did not answer. Although he knew arithmetic, he did not understand this.
Li Yuanxing let out a long sigh: "The grain boat travels by river, passes through Luoyang, and then goes upstream to Youzhou. This takes half a month. One boat can transport two hundred stones. There are seven boatmen on each boat. These seven
A person can eat one stone of grain in half a month. I calculated roughly, but that’s probably it!”
Xiao Yu nodded, he recognized Li Yuanxing's algorithm.
"Including transportation and transfer, the loss of 200 shi to Youzhou is not much. But from Youzhou to Jian'an, it is 1,200 miles. A carriage, plus two people, can transport 5 shi. This is
It's a thousand and two hundred miles away, at least a month's walking time, so we only have three stones to transport it to Jian'an, which is enough for a man to eat and a horse to eat."
Xiao Yu seemed to understand.
"Your Highness, the last time the grain was transported from Youzhou to Liaocheng and Jian'an, how much was consumed?"
"In fact, when we get to Youzhou, the consumption is about 10%. Who dares to say that there are no accidents on the way. But when we get to Jian'an, it is only 40%. If it is winter, then it is good to have 30%. The former Sui Dynasty defeated Liaodong and was really defeated.
, was defeated by this logistics, without a strong logistics, it would be a fart battle!"
Li Yuanxing actually uttered a foul language, which surprised Xiao Yu.
"Twenty percent is consumed in Jian'an. If this is not achieved, I will not start a war against Goguryeo. How many people died on the way to transport food in the former Sui Dynasty, and how many soldiers were incapable of fighting because they were not full. Expedition to Goguryeo
, from Chang'an to Goguryeo, a total of four thousand five hundred miles."
Xiao Yu understood, stood up and saluted: "I'm just confused!"
"This time, we will definitely sign an armistice agreement with Goguryeo, and we will definitely not form an alliance. Our reason is that you have put forward the conditions, and naturally we can only form an alliance if you comply with the promise. Otherwise, we will start a war!"
Li Yuanxing is full of confidence. He believes that after eight months of preparation, there will be absolutely no problem for him to complete the first step of remote Goguryeo.
Goguryeo had to bite it bite by bite and swallow it step by step.
"I don't understand. Your Highness has arranged for me to be here. What can I do?"
Li Yuanxing handed the fishing rod to Xiao Yu: "It's actually very simple. Just calm down. Three months later, I will secretly go to Liaodong. There are some things that I can't do well. I need a person with high moral character and respect, such as you, Mr. Xiao."
Come and help me stabilize Liaodong, because there are not only my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Mohe and Khitan tribes."
"I understand!" Even if Xiao Yu agreed, the specific tasks would naturally be arranged before departure.
Li Yuanxing left the fishing rod behind and went to the mining area by himself.
Du Ruhui came here not to accompany Xiao Yu, but to check the accounts.
There are no civil servants in charge here, the civil servants are just doing things. The real person in charge is Wu Bin, a man who looks like a martial artist, but is actually a very calm man, not to mention the cunning Du Shuangyu who is helping him.
In terms of guard security, Xie Ke trained a team of Ye Linjian archers.
This night forest archery is the ability to shoot at night, not by eyes, but by ears. According to the sound of the enemy's movements in the forest, the enemy is shot in the dark night. This archery team only has three hundred people.
Together with the remaining 1,500 sword and shield soldiers, the mining area was defended watertight.
"With one knife, can the output be increased further?" Du Ruhui looked at the account book and asked slowly.
Wu Bin shook his head: "No, unless you give me 20 more steam engines and 30,000 detonators. If you dig the main vein, you can produce 100,000 jins of silver ore per day. How can you get tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
Du Ruhui smiled and shook his head.
"Duke Du?" Wu Bin saluted.
Du Ruhui waved his hand: "It's difficult. There have been applications for more than 400 steam engines here, for pumping water, and for grinding flour. Those quarries actually have 100 units, and the number of detonators in Yaozhou has reached its limit.
, not to mention that His Highness is planning to take action against Liaodong, so it is natural to keep some fire detonators."
"Give someone a chance to fight!"
"Stay here with peace of mind. I will give you ten more 80-horsepower steam engines and ten thousand detonators. By the end of the month, the daily production of silver ore and copper ore must reach one hundred thousand kilograms and thirty thousand kilograms of copper ore. If you take care of it, I will recommend you to go to Liaodong.
.In the past few days, we have selected ten reliable captains among the guards and sent them to you. You can make an idea about who will take over for you when the time comes!"
When Du Ruhui mentioned the price, Wu Bin had to fight for it no matter what.
However, according to the rules of the Qin Palace, smart people work hard because of their management ability, while fools work continuously overtime.
Wu Binxin said that he has reached his limit. The captains who can be sent here are at least talented people who can read dozens of books. These people's abilities can be put to good use.
(Silver mines are associated with copper mines, rather than mined separately)
Is this mining area managed properly?
Li Yuanxing knew very clearly that the efficiency could be increased by at least three times, but he would not personally come to direct it. These people under his command needed to grow up. The ten captains sent had studied management and had also practiced in the workshop.
.What Li Yuanxing cares about is safety first, and efficiency second.
That night, Li Yuanxing spent the night in the Qinling Mountains.
The agitation in Chang'an City reached its peak because of the radical remarks of some pen writers. The Goguryeo envoys even ran to the palace gate after dark to request an audience with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Er, who was having dinner, received the report and ate a piece of purple sweet potato. He was very satisfied and tasted another taste of wine: "This purple sweet potato should really be exclusive to my royal family. Come, give the Goguryeo envoy a hundred red-skinned yellow potatoes."
Just a bucket of rice porridge to tell them I'm tired."
One hundred sweet potatoes, plus a bucket of rice porridge! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
