"They're here to deliver. The Winged Knights are here to deliver the goods."
Along with the shouts, more people rushed to the shore.
Another delivery of goods from the river meant that there were enough ships to transport goods continuously.
It was more convenient than walking. Walking was too heavy for horses to carry, and carriages couldn't cross the narrow roads.
Under the light of the fire, such a big boat could transport a lot of things.
One by one, the Sky Monkeys were unloaded. There were also 20 bags of flour, 60 bags of flour, and sesame oil.
The sesame oil was just sesame oil. In the past, other than rapeseed oil, it was an expensive oil used to fry things.
Li Yi didn't give them soybean oil. There weren't any peanuts or sunflower seeds. If there were, he would give them these two kinds of oil.
Sesame oil could be eaten directly. How could they eat raw soybean oil?
The weather in the northwest wasn't good. It was a highland climate.
If they had gastrointestinal problems or needed to go to the toilet, drinking two spoonfuls of sesame oil would help. Drinking two spoonfuls of soybean oil …
The goods were moved up and people disembarked. The boat was docked at the side. With the weight reduced, the boat's height increased.
"Didn't you say there were three groups per boat? Why are there six groups?" The person counting the goods was puzzled.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi's standard is 40 pieces per group. You can adjust it to 20 pieces per group. The Li Family Zhuangzi's carriage has 80 pieces per group."
Old Monkey gave an answer. The standards of both sides were different.
The truth was that Guo Zhiyun couldn't bear to fire so crazily. The Li Family Zhuangzi couldn't bear to fire so much.
If someone could force Li Longji to the Li Family Zhuangzi, how many people would the enemy need? Did the 16 guards betray them?
At that time, they would use dense Sky Monkeys to attack. At the same time, the Winged Knights would charge and kill the enemy's commander.
They would use horses to charge. The horses would have explosive packs attached to them. The fuse would be longer.
If someone dared to charge forward, Li Yi would use the heartless cannons. It was like a hot air balloon throwing down explosive packs.
They didn't need to directly hit people or use shrapnel attacks. They would be shocked to death.
In reality, such a situation did not exist. Li Yi could fly, and he could kill whoever he wanted. Whoever was the leader, he would just kill them and be done with it.
The soldiers were not clear about the Li Family Zhuangzi's deployment. They carefully carried the Sky Cun Monkeys, each of which was precious.
"Use the boat to pull them into the river. We can hit them where the enemy's crossbows can't hit them."
"You can hit them from behind. The Sky Cracker Monkey flies very far."
"If it's a little further, it'll blow up all of Tubo's generals to death."
The soldiers knew that the Sky Piercing Monkey meant long-range attacks. They could hit the enemy, but the enemy couldn't hit them.
Old Monkey smiled. "Yes."
"Yes." Xiao Tuan replied, "Fire Dragon Out of the Water is longer than this Sky Cracker Monkey. Two Polar Fire Arrows can be shot directly from here to the opposite shore."
"What does he look like? The dragon is more powerful than the monkey, right? "The soldier looked at the torches on the other side of the river and estimated that the distance was about three li.
"Is the monkey lacking?" Old Monkey wasn't happy.
His surname was Hou, and he was a battalion commander. Xiao Tuan's surname was Yuan, and he was also a battalion commander.
The password was fake. What was really needed was for the other members of the Feather Forest Flying Cavalry to check.
The eight people disembarked from the boat and sat on the ground.
They were on the same shift, and it was time to change shifts. They had arrived at their destination.
Their legs didn't feel like their own anymore. The other sixteen people had time to rest and were in a better condition.
"Hurry up and bring the stretchers over. Arrange for a few people to massage their legs. The people who went to report the news were all massaged." The leader of the soldiers called for his men.
The people from the boat who came last time groaned after disembarking. This time, it was the Winged Knights. They just sat there and massaged their legs.
A group of people came over and carried the eight people away.
Others went to get food and soup. The young man who led the way wrapped a bundle of yak skin and continued to smile foolishly.
"What else do you need at home?" Guo Zhiyun asked gently.
"No, I have something for my little nephew. In the future, I will lead the way every time and catch fish for you."
The young man shook his head. He didn't want anything. He only accepted it for his little nephew.
"It's the first time I feel so comfortable in a war. War is about logistics."
Guo Zhiyun didn't force him to give them anything. With his hands behind his back, he went to find the new Winged Knights to ask about something.
…
The sky above Chang 'an was bright. The bell on the clock tower rang.
Two more propeller boats set off. They were loaded with sky-scraping monkeys and pressure cookers. As long as the boat was loaded with propeller boats, every two boats would leave.
Li Longji didn't go to work today. He had asked for leave. His body couldn't stand going to court every day.
He watched the things being taken away and said the same thing, "We are fighting logistics."
"So if we don't develop the economy, we can't fight at all. Let's do it slowly and force the Tubo into a corner."
Li Yi knew how difficult it was to deal with the Tubo, the Turks, and the Tuqishi.
They were worried about the development of the Tang dynasty, so they kept sending troops.
After years of war, the Tang dynasty ran out of money. They needed a prime minister who could make money. Li Linfu took the position.
"How long will it take to ship things once every few days?" Li Longji had a headache when he thought about the details.
The boats were built continuously and things were sent forward continuously.
A few years ago, he didn't even dare to think about it. Which one of them wasn't money?
Li Yi didn't care. He was used to this mode of operation, making money and spending money at the same time.
He was much better now than he was then. At that time, he almost cut off his cash flow several times.
It seemed that he had a lot of money without deducting debts.
In addition to debts, there were also creditors' rights, which were bribes and medical equipment funds that had not been settled.
Bribes were also creditors' rights. It was convenient to do things if the leaders were right.
The most terrible thing was that the leaders were arrested. Not only would they lose all their initial investment, but they would also have to spend extra money to get themselves out of trouble.
Now Li Yi was guarding the Li Family Zhuangzi. He didn't care. He had enough money. He could make a lot of money by just throwing out things.
The key was to improve production. Otherwise, what if people didn't have money to buy things?
Thinking about it, Li Yi replied, "It'll be fine by winter. Tubo won't be able to fight again this winter. According to Third Brother's plan, we want to exchange the people of the Tang dynasty.
We're not in a hurry to exchange the remaining captives for Tubo's livestock. We can raise the captives. Tubo's military strength is lacking.
When the Yellow River basin is stabilized and my production capacity increases, we'll exchange the captives for them. "
"It was your sister-in-law's idea. She said that the captives have been outside for a long time and their families have changed. When the captives return, there will be disputes." Li Longji was not greedy.
He realized how powerful Empress Wang was.
The captives had family members, old people, women, and children.
If they didn't return for a long time, someone would bully them.
When they returned, what would happen to them and those who bullied their families?
"I heard that Wu Jieyu is pregnant?" Li Yi suddenly asked.
"She's about to give birth. If it's a difficult birth, Brother Yi, you …"
"It's a royal matter. As long as His Majesty gives the order, I will naturally take care of it. The female nurses in Zhuangzi should be able to do it. If I do it personally, I'm afraid that His Majesty will behead me."
Li Yi discovered that Wu Huifei's child had been born. It should have been born last year and died this year.
Now that she was about to give birth, it didn't matter if it was the same child or not. The key was that it would not die prematurely.
No matter how much prejudice he had against others, he had to save the child.
