Li Yi had a strong sense of pride for his country, especially regarding the integration of many ethnic groups.
The world was so big, and there were many countries with many ethnic groups. Only his own country had problems with ethnic groups.
If there were no outsiders who always caused trouble, he would have figured it out long ago.
Because some people did not want his country to be stable, they did all kinds of bad things, bribed, instigated, provided funds, and guided him on how to make trouble.
The scale of religion in Tubo was not so big now, and the Turks did not have the Abbasid Caliphate religion.
Li Yi did not intend to continue the development of religion. Everyone did not need to believe in other religions. They just needed to believe in the Chinese people.
They could give up on Taoism. If they had to learn it, they would learn some Taoism and know what was going on.
"Vigorously promote the traditional Chinese culture. Take this opportunity to ask if any students are willing to go over and stay for two years.
Those who did not pass the imperial examination can teach others. When they come back, they can take the imperial examination again. Or they can be directly assigned an official position and support the border. "
Li Yi started to give ideas. This matter was very important to him, second only to the improvement of the living standards of the people in the Tang dynasty.
"Why?" Li Longji hugged the little girl and asked.
"Everyone is religious. When the time comes, should we listen to the Tang Emperors or the religious leaders?" Li Yi only said one sentence.
"Yes, we need to teach." Li Longji immediately agreed.
"If you want to restrict the preaching of other religions, you can study it and then record it down. Make more copies and store them in various places to avoid losing them."
Li Yi mentioned another thing. Academics need to be studied, but there is no need to preach.
But we will help you record it down so that you don't lose it.
For example, the history of India was mostly obtained from various countries around the world. How did you record our history? Tell us, it is best to have books to prove it.
Li Yi wanted to help all the countries and tribes in the world to record their history.
If someone forgot, he would give them a copy of it.
Maybe there was no need to give it to them. They could directly write it down in their own history.
If 56 ethnic groups could live together in harmony, 560 would not be a problem.
"More smoke?" Li Longji looked in the direction of Chang 'an City. Because there were many people setting up fires, smoke was lingering in the sky.
However, the smell of soot would be gone in the middle of the night. There wouldn't be any smog in the morning, even if there was a fire in the morning.
Unless it was directly foggy, then the soot and smoke from the firewood would not disperse for a while. It would be more suffocating, but it would be fine as long as he endured it and waited for the sun to rise.
Li Yi would observe every day. Usually in the morning and evening, there was no need to observe at noon. Most people would choose to eat boxed lunches.
The profit margin of boxed lunches was not high. 10% went to the company.
If he were to cook at home, he wouldn't be able to do it with this amount of money, but it would definitely be more expensive than buying a meal.
"This winter, the Capital Magistrate hopes that no one will freeze to death." Li Yi looked at the smoke and then at the heated brick bed.
It would be burned for the last time at night. When the weather was bad, the yamen would send people to all the workshops and outside to warn them not to press down on the stoves, as it was easy to be poisoned by charcoal.
Because the fire was leaking smoke, all the fire was leaking. It was impossible to block all of them.
Due to the change in air pressure, the smoke could not escape, so it came out from the cracks in the kang bed.
If there was smoke coming out of it, they would be able to know what was going on.
If the stove was pressed, carbon monoxide would slowly emit out. This was colorless and odorless, so people would directly fall asleep when they were in a daze.
In the middle of the night, the air pressure suddenly changed. The people in charge of the night watch in each workshop had to ring the gong. They would rather wake everyone up than let anyone die from charcoal poisoning.
The people on night watch had special stoves to observe and boil water.
"Do you still have the location of the coal mine? Give me a few more. Dig more coal. Burn coal billets during the day and coal blocks at night. It'll be cheaper. "
Li Longji thought of a good way to reduce the probability of being poisoned by charcoal poisoning.
Coal billets burned with coal were easy to emit smoke and not burn fully, while coal blocks had less smoke.
"Yes, I'll mark it on the map." Li Yi nodded.
"Whoosh!" The cub ran to get the map.
Qing Song watched. When the cub ran dozens of steps away, he opened his suitcase and took out the map from it. "Dongzhu, the Capital Magistrate and the surrounding places."
"Hahahaha ~" Li Longji suddenly laughed and shouted, "Come back, cub."
"Ah!" The cub didn't understand what he meant, but it turned around and ran back. When it saw the map, it stared at Qing Song.
Li Yi used a pencil to mark four shallow coal mines on the map. He gave all the open-pit mines in the Capital Magistrate and all the states above and below.
Now, he gave coal mines that were 200 meters deep and shallow. Coal mines generally had notes about how deep they were.
Shallow meant that there was coal at this depth and shallower positions, which could be dug.
With the mining technology of the Tang dynasty, Li Yi didn't recommend coal mines that were 200 meters deep because they couldn't be dug.
Digging wells was slow, and it was easy to get into trouble.
At that time, there were few mines that were too deep, and the cost of digging down to 1,000 meters was high.
Coal mines that were 200 meters deep could be seen after dozens of meters, but there was not much coal. If they continued to dig, there would be more.
Without large-scale industry, they didn't need too much coal.
"Are there any gold and silver mines?" Li Longji wanted to make money again.
"It's not cost-effective to dig it ourselves. It's better to transport it from outside through trade. I know all the sand gold in the river. It's just that we don't take it out because it wastes labor."
Li Yi refused and persuaded that there were a few in Lantian County that could be used!
Instead of taking out gold mines, it was better to use the manpower to farm and build roads.
Li Longji was regretful, but Li Yi said to him again, "When the railway is built, use the proceeds of the railway as collateral and issue banknotes."
"Oh! In this way, we really don't have to mine gold and silver ourselves. "Li Longji wanted to make money because of the banknotes.
"In that case, the banknotes issued will belong to the credit currency. When the railway is built, the gold and silver in the national treasury will be used to issue the banknotes of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yi made it clear that credit currency would appear after all.
The Li Family Zhuangzi's exchange coupons were obviously not enough. The merchants were willing to take them out and then go to various places, and the local merchants would also accept them.
Li Yi decided to issue the banknotes of the Tang dynasty. He could not always rely on the Li Family Zhuangzi. Otherwise, who would be the Tang dynasty's Tang dynasty?
Of course, the issue of the banknotes of the Tang dynasty was still managed by him. He really did not trust others.
In the area of finance, he would not give in no matter what.
"Brother Yi, please take care of it." Li Longji had the same idea. When it came to playing with money, he did not trust others.
He could trust in the quality, but he felt that all the ministers were beginners in handling matters. Or perhaps they could not even be considered as beginners.
… …
"Look, this is the money of our Tang dynasty, the exchange coupons of the Li Family Zhuangzi." The sky at the source of the Yellow River was darker than that of Chang 'an.
During dinner, Qin Li sat cross-legged on the kang bed and took out a large amount of money for Birala to see.
Birala was not used to sitting cross-legged on the kang bed. In front of him was a low table, the height was just right for him to sit there.
The main reason was that his feet were smelly. When he took off his shoes, the smell drifted out.
He looked at the beautifully printed coupons and asked, "What about the smelly feet?"
"Wash them. I'll boil water in the iron pot and warm your feet. It's good for the body. By the way, it won't smell. You also have to change your socks every day. As for your shoes, you have to clean them every few days. As for your leather boots, you can use herbal packs."
Qin Li could smell the smell, but he could still eat. It did not matter.
In the past, this was nothing in the training.
