"Our casualties?" Yin Sizhen asked.
"More injured, less dead. The number of dead is less than 1% of the enemy's." Li Yi was more happy when he said this.
He wanted zero casualties. There were always all kinds of accidents on the battlefield. Non-combat casualties were also counted as casualties.
What was more helpless was chasing the enemy and being killed by the fleeing enemy. It showed that the chasing Tang dynasty soldiers were not calm.
Yao Chong came up with a glass of wine. It was said to be iced yellow wine, but in fact, it was cold.
Li Yi didn't have time to fill a big basin with ice, so he chilled the wine together with the glass.
He couldn't make a glass with special liquid in the middle, so he had to make do.
"If I drink this wine, will I have diarrhea at night?" Yao Chong was more worried. He still wanted to live a few more years.
"Yellow wine, have you eaten cheese?" He looked at the imperial physician. The imperial physician shook his head, so he assured him. If the imperial physician said it was okay, it was basically okay.
"How much did you spend?" Yao Chong wanted to know how much it cost to win a war.
"How do you calculate? Previously, I spent more than 700,000 yuan. I haven't finished the war yet. Indirectly calculate the technology cost … "
"More than 700,000 yuan. How much did the imperial court spend?"
Yao Chong didn't want to hear about the technology cost. Technology cost a fart. You made it yourself.
"Old Yao, please respect the contribution of the researchers. The imperial court didn't spend much money now, except for shipbuilding and weapons materials.
When this war is over, the imperial court will invest more than 5 million yuan. I can't continue to spend money in winter.
We have to occupy the whole Yellow River basin. Do you know which Sister Lake it is? "
Li Yi estimated that the imperial court didn't invest much money at the moment.
Later, it would gradually increase. It was easy to attack the place, but difficult to defend the occupied area.
There must be many castles, not military camps. In winter, people would freeze to death at the source of the Yellow River.
The air pressure was low, the temperature was low, the wind was strong, and the ultraviolet radiation was strong. Many things had to be sent from the back.
"What did Long Ze say?" Yao Chong didn't answer Li Yi's question. He used to be the Minister of War.
He was not Su Yi. He just became the Minister of War and didn't know anything.
He had also received Tubo's Prime Minister's Book; how could he not know about Zhaling Lake and Erling Lake?
He even knew how Tubo would counterattack if he occupied the Yellow River basin.
Li Yi poured some wine for himself as well, "Old Bi, what do you have to say? This year, with the things from Henan Prefecture, the Ministry of Revenue will receive 30 million taels after deducting the normal rent."
"We didn't have this last year. It was less than 20 million yuan." Li Rizhi recalled the previous financial situation.
"Last year, there weren't as many people in the capital office as there are now. Last year, the Yellow River wasn't navigable.
The economic situation of the people determined the demand for goods, and the demand for goods determined the supply of goods from outside.
The amount of goods imported from outside the capital determined the amount of tax collected. The capital and Henan Prefectural Government's combined consumption amounted to only 30 billion coins.
When more cement factories are built, if the extra revenue this year doesn't reach 30 million, it means that someone is evading taxes. "
Li Yi mentioned the cement factory. No matter who invested in the cement factory, they had to pay taxes. If they didn't pay, the factory would be confiscated.
"Xiao Yi, that's a little too much." Yin Sizhen calculated that Henan Prefecture couldn't pay that much money.
He had a rough idea of the situation in Henan Prefecture. The people were indeed raising chickens and even maggots because there weren't enough locusts.
"Yes, I will earn back the money deducted from the taxes within two months. After that, I will sell the goods. With 80% tax, I am prepared to contribute 4 to 5 million taels."
Li Yi was certain that he had new products that would be bought by merchants and sent to various places to be sold.
"You want to sell mirrors?" Yao Chong's voice was very loud. Everyone around them heard him.
He was excited. He didn't want Li Yi to sell mirrors in large quantities.
For him, or perhaps for all the important officials, once Li Yi started selling mirrors, it meant that there was no other way.
They would occasionally cause trouble for Li Yi, but they didn't want Li Yi to go to the step of selling mirrors.
"Don't be excited. I'm not selling mirrors. I have something. Drink.
The messenger who came back from the frontline said that military kettles rust easily.
Copper kettles are almost rusted. Iron kettles need to be maintained. During war, you still have to think about maintaining your kettles.
You should use tinning or galvanizing technology, or even the aluminum that I made.
But it's not easy to make them. I'm also in a difficult position. They need some things. It's either a lot of materials or electricity.
You said that the aluminum that you made can't be mass produced. It can only be produced in small quantities. Is it … … "
Li Yi's mumbling stopped at this point. He finally reacted.
He could only produce electrolytic aluminum in the laboratory. But aluminum used to be more expensive than gold. At that time, it was extracted using chemical methods.
Now, he could use chemical methods to extract aluminum, but it was not worth it.
Could aluminum also be sold at a high price? As for carcinogens, the aluminum toothpaste and aluminum kettles were used every day. How many people got carcinogens because of this?
"Let me think. How can I make use of this? In the whole world, only I can make aluminum. How can I make use of it?" Li Yi muttered to himself.
Someone next to him was just about to speak. Yao Chong pointed and motioned the other party not to move.
Under the light, the people in the team saw Yao Chong's finger and quickly held back.
"Zhang Jiuling will be transferred back next year. Replace Bi Goo. Old Bi is too tired. Send a new person. I want to export."
Li Yi thought for a while and mentioned Zhang Jiuling.
"Long Ze will not agree. He would rather die in this position. Seeing that the imperial court's finances are getting better, how can he be willing to leave? "
Lu Huaishen advised Li Yi not to move Bi Goo into the group. Bi Goo was likely to get sick because of this.
He could only persuade. In the end, it depended on Li Yi's thoughts. Li Yi was determined to put Long Ze into the group. No one could stop him.
Li Yi frowned. "I have to talk to Old Bi. Either let go and let the people below do it and rest more, or join the group."
"Let's also talk to him." Liu Youqiu agreed with Li Yi's method. Bi Goo almost couldn't do it before. What if he was tired to death?
The people in the other teams turned back to eat. They once again confirmed who had the final say in the imperial court of the Tang dynasty.
"What will be the final sentence for those people?" Li Yi looked at the group of people from the State of Japan.
"Women will enter the palace to work, adult men … will be beheaded! The older children will be hanged, and the children will be pardoned or sent to the palace. "Li Rizhi gave the final outcome of those people and their families.
The crimes were too serious. Colluding with foreign countries, intercepting and killing important ministers, resisting the imperial order, and using good people as slaves …
Other administrative crimes were found to be minor. They had to be considered when convicting. In fact, it was the same whether they were guilty or not.
To put it bluntly, the crime committed by those people was rebellion. What was the result of rebellion?
"If I didn't take out the location of the iron mine and coal mine, there would be no such thing." Li Yi sighed.
"If you don't eat, you won't choke." Yao Chong despised him. He didn't believe that Li Yi was soft-hearted.
When they passed through Lantian County, the local officials had made a report and then continued to mine.
Now you are sighing? You are a cat crying for a mouse.
