"There are lakes in the Yangtze River area, and there are lakes next to the Grand Canal. Get people to plant them. Choose the bigger ones before planting them. Choose the ones that mature early and those that mature late."
Li Chengqi's smile widened when he talked about the selection of seeds.
He was the richest person in the entire Tang dynasty.
He had invested a lot in pepper planting and pearl farming in Qiongzhou. Currently, he had invested a lot but had not produced any results. He needed time.
In other times, such as when he had not given up the position of the crown prince, he would definitely fight for the position with so much money.
But now, he did not value the position of the emperor. It was useless.
His third brother was the emperor. What could he do?
Now, his third brother said that he wanted to fight the Turks. If Li Yi did not agree, they could not fight. They had to listen to Li Yi.
One by one, Li Yi did not make any mistakes.
As the emperor, he needed to discuss the development of the Tang dynasty with his ministers. The result was a plan. The future development of the Tang dynasty was planned. There was no need to think about it.
He had considered the Tubo, Turks, Khitans, Xi, Bohai, Tuqishi, and other places.
He had a solution for each place. The key was money. The problems in other places were not obvious. The income of the people in the capital had increased.
As the emperor, he felt that he only had to deal with trivial matters in the court. He did not need to think about the national affairs.
"Brother Yi, do you think the people of the Tang dynasty can eat meat one day? The entire Tang dynasty has railway tracks and trains running everywhere? "
Li Chengqi had a dream. In his opinion, the people of the Tang dynasty could eat meat if they wanted to.
It would take 100 days to travel from Chang 'an to Luoyang. It would be a real golden age.
"Brother, wait until I build the tractor. Then I will tell you how many choices the people have and how fast they can travel in the future.
There is also the problem of eating meat. It depends on what kind of meat they eat. Chickens can grow up to eat meat in dozens of days. Pigs can grow up to 200 kilograms in three months.
I'm in Qiongzhou, and you're in Chang 'an. We can talk face to face when we take something.
I will catch a fish. If you want to eat it, I will buy it for you. You will see the fish in three hours. "
Li Yi talked about the future. As long as he was willing to spend money, distance was not a problem.
Li Chengqi: "…"
He realized that his expectations were too low and his expectations were too low.
He raised his hand to touch Li Yi's forehead to see if Li Yi had a fever.
Li Yi looked at him, and Li Chengqi's hand stopped, "Brother Yi, have you seen him before?"
"The people of the Tang dynasty are willing to work hard. In fact, there are some things that we can see. Just like this steam engine, there's no need to slowly figure it out. "
Li Yi said as he continued to eat. He still felt that the current Tang dynasty was better.
However, Li Chengqi was not in the mood to eat. He was still thinking about what Li Yi had said.
How could he send a fish from Guangzhou to Chang 'an in three hours without even looking at him?
If he could give fish, he could give it to others, right? If he could send people away, he could also move troops.
While he was thinking, Li Yi finished eating and went to the inpatient building for ward rounds.
He received patients again. With the nurses around, some surgeries were more convenient. At the same time, the nurses could practice their skills.
He cherished this group of people very much. First, he taught them the simple and quick way.
When they had learned enough, theoretically speaking, it was also a process of learning by themselves.
The nurses did not have to learn to the top level. When they could maintain normal teaching, the Tang dynasty medical school was established.
The other imperial physicians all came to learn. Whether it was traditional Chinese medicine or modern Western medicine, there was always a process.
The students learned physics and chemistry, including craftsmanship, which was the foundation of industry.
In terms of agriculture, they came from the Sitong Temple. They made a hybrid seed and selected the other seeds.
The ancient people would choose the varieties, and then they developed many kinds of seeds.
At the same time, they knew how to graft. No matter what it was, they wanted to try grafting and see if they could grow other things.
There were also natural variants. After they were discovered, they would be specially planted when they matured.
In Luoyang's peonies, someone had mastered the technology to grow peonies of many colors.
The technology was confidential, but according to Li Yi's guess, they should be making an article on the soil of flowers.
"Brother Yi, you said … where are they?" Li Chengqi came back to his senses. When he was about to talk to Li Yi, he found that there was no one beside him.
… …
At the place where the Yellow River was, cities were built one after another. The Tubo tribe helped to build them.
They exchanged food through labor. Steamed buns, fried rice with eggs, bamboo canned fruits, tea leaves, hand cream, coal …
They built a kang bed at home and collected firewood. If they did not put coal, it would consume too much firewood.
In the winter, they put an earthen basin in the tent.
It was not made of porcelain or pottery. It was made of clay and put little firewood in it.
If they could not make a basin, they dug a hole and burned it in the hole. Or they simply set up a small bonfire on the ground.
They put a clay pot on top of it or put it on top of it. They burned meat and fried the highland barley rice in the pot with oil.
They smashed the highland barley rice into flour and mixed it with butter. It was a good life.
When they were working, the Tang dynasty sent iron pots. They were not flat frying pans, but concave iron pots with ears. They could be cooked, fried, or fried.
They built a stove beside the kang bed according to the method taught by the Tang dynasty soldiers.
The front stove was used to cook, and the back stove was used to boil water in a clay pot. It was also used to warm the kang bed.
For the Tubo people, this kind of life was very good. They did not have to worry about freezing to death in winter.
They also built a fire path in the sheep pen. Hay was piled up next to it. If it snowed heavily, they could burn the sheep pen to prevent a large number of sheep from freezing to death the next morning.
"In winter, the river is frozen and it snows heavily. Our road is easy to travel. There will be silage sent to feed the livestock. When the time comes, you can help with the work. We will also give you silage."
Qin Li was talking to Bi Lala. Bi Lala was Fu Qian, who was captured before and led a tribe to retreat.
Birala was stunned. What did he mean by the river is frozen and the road is easy to travel in heavy snow?
He knew about silage. They had planned to prepare it this year, but there was no chance because of the war.
"The road is difficult to travel in heavy snow." Birala looked at him with a "don't lie to me" look.
"We have sleds. It's more convenient than two-wheeled carriages. It's not easy for carriages to cross ditches and hills. With snow, as long as the livestock can cross, the sleds can cross."
Qin Li drew a picture of a sledge on the ground.
"Is this what a sledge means? Snow plow? "Birala recalled. He had an impression of it.
"Something like that. You must raise the sheep and yaks well. If you have more milk, give it to us. If you lack coal, we will send it to you."
Qin Li spoke as if he was talking to his family. He was afraid that his family would suffer and not be able to survive this winter.
Birala felt warmth in his heart. What a good Winged Knights. What a good Tang dynasty person.
"We will definitely help you to fix the city before the snow." Birala gritted his teeth.
"It's not that urgent. If you really want to fight, we will build a city with ice. We will definitely not let you attack."
Qin Li did not mind. It was already high enough to fix the city.
Once the weather turned cold, the cement would not be very useful.
"If they want to fight, let them fight. We can't do it this year." Birala directly expressed his stance.
Fight in the middle of winter? What can we use to fight? Look at the logistics of the Tang dynasty. If my people are killed, will I still have any status?
"It's better not to fight." Qin Li had the same thoughts as Birala.
"Ok! We won't fight! "Birala promised again.
