After the meal, Li Yi told them all the methods, but in the end, he did not invest in the shares.
He was just joking. The Imperial Court does not allow any private investors to invest in the docks. Otherwise, there will be problems.
If private investors participate, they will corrupt the Imperial Court officials and then seize benefits from the docks together.
Without private investors, it will be easier to check the accounts when problems arise.
"Once I invest, others will use this as a reason to invest. You can trust me because I have money. "
Li Yi reminded everyone not to open their mouths.
Only the Imperial Court is in charge. The officials in charge know how much money is earned and it belongs to the Imperial Court.
When private investors invest, the officials in charge are waiting for dividends. When they see the private investors getting so much money, they will feel sad when they think about how they have no money.
For more money, the private investors will rope in the officials and then falsify the accounts together. The private investors earn more, and the officials from top to bottom earn.
After earning and earning, the Imperial Court's income will gradually decrease.
Just like the officials in the Qing Dynasty who collected salt taxes, they were corrupted by the illegal salt traffickers.
When there is a problem, it is useless to just change the officials.
If a new official is sent, his subordinates will trip him up. Unless people are transferred from other places, including the army that captured him.
If the news is leaked, the local forces will kill the official in advance.
"What I mean is to give rewards. The better the docks are run, the more the Imperial Court will earn. The officials and other personnel will be rewarded more.
If they do not make mistakes but do not achieve results, they will be transferred. Mistakes will naturally be cleaned up.
Even if they do well, they cannot let an official stay in that position for a long time. "
Li Yi talked about personnel issues while drinking tea. It was similar to how the House of Subjugation always changed people.
To prevent a certain person or group of people from getting too powerful in one place, the An Lushan Rebellion in the later period of history was caused by not changing people.
"The New Year is in less than two months. What are the arrangements before the New Year this year?"
Su Yi felt that being the Minister of War was boring, so he asked Li Yi.
"I am fine. Your Political Affairs Hall should think about it. I am not the Prime Minister, so I don't need to worry about it." Li Yi said with a serious face.
"Li Shihuo and Li Dahou came together. They are still on the way. The people in front of them arrived first. They should arrive in Chang 'an in three to four days."
Song Jing mentioned two people. One was from the Khitans and the other was from the Xi Tribe.
Li Shihuo wanted to marry a princess of the Tang dynasty, but was rejected. However, trade was strengthened.
He also wanted to come to the Tang dynasty to take a look at the actual situation and gain some benefits from trade.
The items that were once worthless in the northeast were exchanged for items from the Tang dynasty and kerosene lamps.
"Li Shihuo? If he … comes over, I'll give him a checkup. "
When Li Yi heard this name, he thought of this person's lifespan.
At the same time, he thought of another person. It wasn't Li Shihuo's younger brother. In the end, his younger brother was killed together with Li Dahou.
If he was killed by Ke Tuyu, it would be difficult for the Tang dynasty to intervene.
The northeast region must be in the hands of the Tang dynasty, and the three restored protectorates must be effective.
When everyone heard that Li Yi was going to examine Li Shihuo's body, their expressions turned solemn.
They looked at each other. A few people had their bodies checked before, and some had already been sick.
This included Yao Chong's eldest son, who was an official in Henan Province. He didn't have a checkup, but someone went to wait for him in advance with medicine.
This was more frightening. When Li Yi said who he was going to examine, it was probably that person …
"Xiao Yi, how do you think our bodies are?" Bi Goo felt a toothache.
"I'll examine you once a month now. It's pretty good. Keep it up."
Li Yi didn't know who died in this group. He had already changed the fate of others.
The only thing he could do was to examine them once a month.
If anyone suddenly felt uncomfortable, he would have to take a look.
…
Three days later, Li Shihuo and Li Dahou arrived as expected.
A large group of people, more than 2,000 people, and many sleds. They sat on the sleds, and the other sleds carried goods and supplies.
Li Longji was summoned at Hanyuan Palace. Li Chengqi showed up and came to Li Yi with the goods of Li Shihuo and Li Shihuo.
Li Shihuo couldn't marry the princess, so he brought goods for trade. He asked what good things the Tang dynasty had.
"Brother Yi, look." Li Chengqi carried a small basket. In the basket, there were white and yellowish oval things.
"Tussah cocoons? Yes, now is the time when tussah silkworms are spinning cocoons. With our current technology, we can't refine and spin silk after eating the cocoons.
If we refine the silk first, we can't eat the cocoons. We have to steam them first and add other ingredients.
So we eat the cocoons. As for the silk, we can use it as stuffing for clothes, bedding, and pillows. "
Li Yi was hungry again. He wanted to eat the fried tussah cocoons. In fact, it was just dry stir-fried with a little salt. There was no need to cut it.
This dish was not suitable to be eaten with rice. It did not look like a dish.
It was good for drinking. Children liked to eat it as snacks.
"How much is the right price?" Li Chengqi picked up a cocoon and shook it. The cocoon could move. It was alive.
Many cocoons in the basket also moved from time to time. It looked very cute.
"Let's make small rotary knives first. One at a time. It's fast and easy to make a rotary knife. How much did he bring? "
Li Yi asked about the quantity first. The more the quantity, the cheaper it would be. If the quantity was small, it meant that the local people had not expanded the scale of breeding and could raise the price.
Li Chengqi shook his head: "I didn't weigh it. Judging from the quantity, it should be more than ten thousand catties, including the shell."
"10 coins per catty." Li Yi gave a high price.
Li Chengqi sent the cocoons from afar to encourage the local people to breed more. 10 coins per catty was enough.
It was expensive in terms of transportation cost. In the local area, one coin per catty of cocoons was already expensive.
"There are also a lot of pine nuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms, human bodies, roe deer skin, mink skin, dried bellflower, and others. I didn't look carefully."
Li Chengqi took out a handful of pine nuts from his pocket. They were raw.
"If the princess doesn't want to marry him, give him a bicycle and a small mirror. Give him a big mirror. It has to be worth a princess."
Li Yi was very happy. It seemed that Li Chengqi liked trading.
He decided to give benefits to everyone, even the ordinary tribesmen. Of course, he would not give a mirror.
For example, each person would give a big bottle of glycerin to apply.
For those with a little status, they would give a pressure cooker to stew meat at home.
When the people from Li Shihuo and Li Dahou went back to spread the news, people from other places would rush over if they wanted something.
Especially the people from Bohai Sea, they were waiting for them.
"He said that one of his thermos bottles was broken. It has been packed and sent over. He wants a new one. Also, he needs a lot of kerosene."
Li Chengqi shook his head as he spoke. The leader of such a big tribe actually wanted a broken thermos bottle and wanted to change it.
There was nothing wrong with it. That was what he said at the beginning. As long as it was broken, he would change it. Even if he was in a bad mood, it was fine.
"Change it. Send a few more. Send an enamel jar too. It's not easy to come here.
Actually, I'm more worried that he's dead. Check his body. If he's not sick now, we need to bring medicine back for him.
What illness could he die of? Malaria? Cold? Heatstroke? "
Li Yi said with a smile. He couldn't find any information. The information didn't mention any illness.
