"Come, let's drink. Drinking boosts blood circulation. It's fine if your shoulders are uncomfortable. You'll be fine after a night's sleep. Take a bath at night."
A separate room was set up in the cafeteria. Li Yi, Li Chengqi, Li Shihuo, and Li Dahao ate alone.
Li Shihuo and Li Dahao's arms were numb from the gunshots.
They had seen the power of firearms. They could penetrate armor from a hundred feet away.
It was easy to operate and anyone could use it.
The firing speed was fast. After firing a shot, reloading, and releasing the cap could be completed in a few breaths.
The two of them were not thinking about eating at all. Their arms hurt, but it didn't matter.
They were afraid. They saw warehouses, warehouses, and boxes. There were probably tens of thousands of guns in them.
The workshop that made guns never stopped. It seemed that they should not fight with the Tang dynasty in the future.
They did not know that without tens of thousands of guns, just a little more than a thousand, guns were not easy to make.
The Li Family Zhuangzi increased the number of craftsmen's families by 200, and they still gave some gun parts to the Workers' Alliance.
The cost of materials was not high, but the labor time was too long.
They took a sip of wine and breathed out the smell of alcohol. The two of them finally felt a little better.
"Let's eat. I specially made dishes today. I added chili.
If you like it, when you go back, I'll give each of you five kilograms of chili powder. You can fry it into chili oil.
Governor Li didn't kill anyone when you broke the thermos, right? "
Li Yi thought of something. The thermos bottle was broken. Who broke it?
"You can change it to a new one. Why kill? I don't have many people. "Li Shihuo waved his hand.
"It's good that you didn't kill. I'm soft-hearted and can't bear to see blood. When others shed a drop of blood, my legs tremble. "
Li Yi's expression was sincere as if he was telling the truth.
When Li Shihuo and Li Dahao heard that, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.
When the blood was drawn, Li Yi was calm.
"There are iron mines and good coal mines there. Both are easy to mine. I'm just worried that people will die because of an iron mine and a coal mine."
Li Yi still had that compassionate look on his face.
Li Shihuo and Li Dahao looked at each other and instantly understood why they went to shoot.
Warning, it seemed that iron mines and coal mines could be involved.
"Let His Majesty know?" Li Daxiao swallowed his saliva in excitement.
"Those two places are occupied by the Tang dynasty. If I tell them that someone died because of it, I'll feel uneasy. Alas!" Li Yi sighed again.
"No, we promise that nothing will go wrong. We'll send people to dig it up. Just give us a little. We use iron for farming. "Li Shihuo promised.
Li Dahou added, "That's right. We burn coal instead of firewood in the winter."
"Alright." Li Yi was prepared to give a large open-air iron mine in Anshan, but it was not the largest nor the best.
At the same time, he also gave Fu Shun's eastern open-pit mine. He was reluctant to part with Fuxin's Haizhou Coal Mine and Anshan's Super Iron Mine.
There was another better coal mine in Fushun, the West Open-Pit Coal Mine, but he was still reluctant to part with it.
There was still coal in Fushun, but it could not be mined. Fushun was called the coal capital. The entire underground was filled with coal, and many places had been hollowed out.
Unless they moved and continued to dig. Coal was good. There was also a large amount of coal essence and coal sulfur. In the past, coal essence was burned as coal.
Coal sulfur could also be burned as amber.
Who would buy a cart of coal in the winter? It was easy to find amber. Almost every piece of coal could be found in small pieces of amber.
Along with Fuxin's Haizhou Coal Mine, it was taken over by the Japanese Empire. Then, it was mined and transported to the Japanese Empire.
The West Open-Pit Coal Mine was the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia, while Haizhou Coal Mine was the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia.
Li Shihuo clenched his fists, "We'll go and dig. We'll dig 10 catties. We'll keep 1 catty for ourselves and give the rest to you."
"Don't give it to me. If you give it to the Imperial Court, you don't need to give it to them. You can build roads. If you have coal, you can burn cement.
I'll tell you where the stones are better. It's also an open-pit mine. The stones will be placed outside.
We'll build it together. We'll build it from here to there, and you'll build it from here too. "
Li Yi wanted to strengthen his rule. If the roads were not good, how could he move his troops?
It was easy to go to Anshan, Shenyang and Fushun. There was the Liao River. From the Liao River to the Hun River, the entire road was connected.
"Ship. We need a big ship to load the goods. When there's water in the Yellow River, we'll ship the goods." Li Daxiao was thinking about ships.
"Next summer, we'll see if we can open up a shipping route. The ships will dock at various docks and you'll ship the goods to the docks.
You'll provide people to load the ships and then come back with the ships to trade. We won't charge you for the ships.
From your place to Chang 'an, it'll be free. From Chang' an, it'll be free.
You'll have to pay for food and accommodation in Chang 'an, so I'll give you a discount. "
Li Yi made another promise. He was very generous.
Li Chengqi frowned at the side but did not say anything.
After the two happily finished their meal and went to rest, Li Longji came over and asked Li Yi to make some Kung Fu tea.
"Brother Yi, how do we calculate the ship fare?" Li Chengqi first explained the situation to Li Longji and then asked Li Yi.
"It's our own ship. If the crew makes money, we'll subsidize them.
If we come from there, we can buy the goods with exchange coupons. The price is lower than what they sell here.
When we go back, we'll bring our own goods to sell. On the way, we'll bring their people and goods.
There's profit, but it's just a matter of how much we earn. The key is to strengthen communication in this way. Let me tell you … "
Li Yi explained the relationship between communication and the people's hearts.
The Khitans, the Xi Tribe, and the Bohai Kingdom could all trade through free ships.
Their industries and handicrafts were not good. The things they sold were all basic resources, so the price could not be raised.
After selling the goods, they would buy. Normally, what would they buy? Of course, they would buy some high-tech goods from Chang 'an.
Such goods had high added value and were profitable.
The coal and iron ore from there were transported over, forming a supplement.
The locals would follow the consumption habits of the Tang dynasty, Chang 'an, or the capital government, to breed, plant, gather, and hunt.
With the current weapons and numbers, it was impossible to kill all the animals in the northeast.
In the end, the Khitans, the Xi Tribe, and the Bohai Kingdom became dependent on the Tang dynasty for trade.
War guaranteed that trade would be interrupted. Firearms were shown first. Think about it, what were the chances of obtaining firearms through war?
Since trade could achieve the goal, the northeast region would be stable.
"This is nothing. At least we can still make money. The profits are just a little lower. The people of the capital government can buy the specialties of the northeast region.
With iron ore and coal, they can make their own farming tools, tools, and weapons.
If the Turks want to attack them again, they will not consider surrendering first. The Turks will not give them trade benefits. "
Li Yi concluded that the national policy should not be haggling over every detail.
How much aid did his country provide to Africa to enter the United Nations? It was the African brothers who helped his country enter the United Nations.
Didn't other western countries also gain benefits through all kinds of financial aid?
Moreover, the Tang dynasty did not lose money when it provided free shipping, so there were profits.
"They want to attack Sky Monkey." Li Chengqi mentioned Li Dahou's request.
"Give them a batch of explosives first. If they think it's useful, we can buy it at a lower price. We are not afraid that they will use it to attack us."
Li Yi was still so generous. He supported them with weapons, so they had more confidence in dealing with the Turks.
