Song Jing and the rest were informed. Tomorrow, they would send people to contact the Xi Tribe, Khitan and Bohai Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, how about 40 coins per person a day?" Su Yi asked for the specific figure.
"In the Tang dynasty, coal washers earn 40 coins a day in winter. In many places in the Tang dynasty, a few people in a family can't even earn 40 coins. 10 coins, give more to the Khitans. "
Li Longji rejected. He was just saying. According to the daily needs of the people over there, 10 coins was more than enough.
The lives of the people in Taiyuan Prefecture weren't good enough. If they gave too much to outsiders, what would the locals think of the imperial court?
"Your Majesty, do you provide food and accommodation?" Zhang Jiuling thought of the people from the capital who came from outside. One or two months ago, they gave them things and didn't collect rent.
"You're asking me about such a small matter?" Li Longji was unhappy. Can't you come up with a memorial first and then let me read it?
One question after another. What use do I have for you?
"Your Majesty, tomorrow morning, we will send a memorial … to Zhuangzi?"
Song Jing hurriedly followed up. Yes, I forgot. It should be handled by the prime ministers.
No, the prime ministers shouldn't be handling it. It should be written by the subordinates, and the prime ministers should read it.
"Mm!" Li Longji pondered for a moment, "Send people to pick them up and protect them along the way. When they arrive, the weather will warm up. Pay attention to hygiene.
I heard that in Taiyuan Prefecture, even drinking water is boiled. Because it's close to the capital, the Li Family Zhuangzi has a lot of subsidies.
Let the outsiders build their own shacks, estimate the local price of grain and oil, hire people to make big pots of rice, and collect money from the workers.
There's no need to make a profit. It's enough to balance the wages of the cooks.
10 coins, not calculated by the day, but by the piece. The maximum amount of coal washers per day is set at 10 coins … "
Li Longji had just asked others to write it down, but he ended up talking about it himself.
This included prescribing medicine for those who were sick, not allowing outsiders to gamble and bully each other.
Money would be distributed monthly, but it wouldn't be handed over to the other party to avoid losing it.
Expenses would be recorded and deducted from the wages of those who had expenses.
Li Longji said a lot and considered all the details.
"Remember, send people out tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will take a few more days for you to think it through. "
Li Longji finally explained why he was responsible for all the details.
The four chancellors were completely inexperienced in such matters. They had to look through the memorials that were submitted to them personally. If they didn't meet the standards, they would send them back. They would write and look at them again …
"Your subjects understand." The four of them replied in unison. They lowered their heads and blushed slightly.
"Get ready to eat," Li Longji said helplessly.
There were two kinds of helplessness. One was why were the standards of the chancellors getting lower and lower?
The other option was to quickly let them eat first, then pack up and go home. It was not dinner time yet.
Song Jing and the other three went to wash their hands. They all wanted to eat less and then take it home. It was not good to take it home directly.
"His Majesty is now asking for details," Bi Goo whispered to his three colleagues as he washed his hands.
"Your Majesty, you should have a strategically advantageous position and be meticulous in everything. How much more can we do?"
Song Jing was not very satisfied. He passed it to his subordinates, and they would understand.
"Xiao Yi said that details determine success or failure. We can ask the relevant departments to write a few more memorials for comprehensive consideration." Zhang Jiuling thought of a solution.
When he was building the road, there were many craftsmen who came up with ideas. He had to do field inspections and measurements.
They all relied on one person to perfect it, unless it was Li Yi.
"They've started. The hired workers are probably not just for the number of people." Su Yi thought that there were more tricks to follow.
"Don't think about it anymore. I'm tired! Let's eat. I've already brought the takeout boxes. "Bi Goo wiped his hands clean and went to the cafeteria.
…
At dusk, the sky cleared up. The dark clouds from an hour ago had turned into the shape of fish scales.
The people on the yacht put on gloves and picked the prawns on the deck. They were not in a hurry to eat. They were waiting for a place to anchor the boat and eat barbecue.
The prawns that were caught had to be processed and made into dried prawns, which could be eaten as snacks.
"Although many people live on the island, it's not easy to eat clean prawns. When we reach the destination, the locals also like prawns very much."
Li Yi's hands quickly sorted the prawns and talked about how it was not easy to catch fish.
"Their nets are not good." Xiao Lan followed beside Princess Yongmu and pulled away the unwanted fish.
Most of them were black fish, and they were not big. There was no shortage of fish on the boat.
The Winged Knights next to them used a shovel to push the unwanted fish into the sea. The seabirds surrounded them and landed on the surface of the sea to fight for them.
For them, if there were fish, they could not eat the prawns. The prawns were too small.
If they did not take the initiative to give the fish to the seabirds, the seabirds would land and eat it themselves. At that time, they would have to chase the seabirds away.
The prawn picking boats basically left a few openings on the side. One was used to drain the deck on rainy days, and the other could be used to push the fish down.
The seabirds waited for food below and did not come up to cause trouble.
"When we reach the destination, the locals have fishing nets, spears, and sticks to catch fish. They have boats, boats made of hollowed out wood …"
Li Yi talked about the situation of the Native Americans. He did not go into too much detail. For example, he talked about the Mayan, Inca, and other ethnic groups.
Princess Yongmu stopped working when she heard this. She sat there and looked at Li Yi.
She did not ask how Li Yi knew. In her opinion, it would be strange if Li Lang did not know anything.
"They have their own social structure and will fight with each other. Usually, they will form a large group in the end.
Some of the people there are more friendly and willing to help others. Some of them are aggressive and eat people.
Unlike those who ate their own children after a disaster, they ate humans out of a non-survival need.
For example, they say that eating human meat can cure some diseases, and they also receive the blessings of God and so on. "
Li Yi began to instill the bad side of the indigenous people in everyone's mind. They did not want to think that they were all good people and let their guard down.
"Eating people? Two-legged sheep? And the army used to eat people too, "Princess Yongmu said.
"Yes, under some special circumstances, there will always be people who treat their own kind as food. And at this time, people are no longer human."
Li Yi stopped what he was doing and looked at Princess Yongmu. He thought to himself that in the history of the Tang dynasty, even the emperor ate people in the later stages.
"Do people still eat people in the Tang dynasty?" Princess Yongmu was in a bad mood.
"When there are no major disasters, there won't be. When there are major disasters, I'm around. Didn't we survive the locust plague and drought? "
Li Yi was proud when he talked about these two things.
He was the one who handled them. Li Longji did not go to Luoyang, so Wang Wei did not go either.
Princess Yongmu smiled again. "Yes, yes. With Li Lang around, there won't be any incidents of people eating people."
"In the future, more roads will be built, including railways. Even if we can't cross the Yangtze River, the Pearl River, and the Yellow River with our current technology, it's still good to transport things by boat."
As Li Yi spoke, he grabbed a fish that weighed half a catty and threw it into the sky. A seabird flew up to catch it, shook its neck, and swallowed it.
"Look, there are many fish in the sea. Build big fishing boats and steam ships to send pickled fish to all parts of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yi remembered that the American colonists once made large quantities of pickled cod and sold it as food elsewhere.
As for the slaughter of seals and whales, it was more for oil.
