"Doctor Li, there's a limit to the grain production in the barren lands. How can the harvest last long?" Zhang Jiuling asked Li Yi.
"The industrial structure serves the supply and demand relationship to a certain extent. For example, the Tang dynasty guarantees the long-term purchase of grain, and people elsewhere can open up new land for planting."
Li Yi explained to Zhang Jiuling.
"Can the industrial structure of the barren lands be adjusted quickly to supply the Tang dynasty with goods in time?" Su Yi asked.
"The speed of the industrial structure adjustment depends on politics, technology, and commodity profits.
The simpler the technology, the faster the adjustment. The politics of the barren merchants serve the capital. As long as the capital has enough influence, politics is not a problem.
Commodity profits include direct and indirect profits. The former is the purchase of grain, and the latter is the qualification to purchase other goods. "
Li Yi continued to answer. He did not hold back at all, nor did he say anything unnecessary.
"If the Tang dynasty increases the volume of foreign trade, will currency have its own place in it?" Bi Goo narrowed his eyes.
"Anything acceptable to the other party can be called currency, including digital records.
The status of the currency is not dependent on the status given by the barren merchants, but the status recognized by the people and the officials of the Tang dynasty.
In the seller's market, the currency recognized by the Tang dynasty is the currency recognized by the buyer. And vice versa. "
Li Yi nodded to Bi Goo. The currency was strong.
"The so-called access permit mentioned in the rumors, is it true or false?"
Yuan Qianyao, who was the Prime Minister and was removed from his position together with Yao Chong, was not willing to fall behind.
"When the false is the true, the true is also false. Where there is nothing, there is nothing. The so-called access permit should be used for the country. Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. "
Li Yi gave an ambiguous answer. In fact, he was very flexible. He could do whatever he wanted.
"What if the barren merchants cooperate because of the access permit?" Liu Youqiu voiced his doubts.
"If they cooperate, they will be broken by force. The barren merchants cannot cooperate because they belong to different countries. Once they cooperate, it proves that they are powerful, and the navy will take action."
"What if a new barren merchant comes to the Tang dynasty and is ostracized?" Li Rizhi considered from another perspective.
"Just send them some information."
"In the future, the Tang dynasty will set sail with local caravans …"
Li Yi answered their questions one by one.
Huang Li was stunned. Why can't I understand a lot of things? What industrial structure? What currency position?
No wonder he could only be a minor official of the seventh rank. The gap between them was too big.
How was Li Dongzhu so busy? A person answering a bunch of questions, casually answering them. If he were to be questioned like this, he might as well just bang his head against the wall and die.
"Xiao Yi, it's getting dark. Do you want to eat?"
Bi Goo rubbed his stomach. He was hungry. He had not eaten any staple food in the afternoon and had been drinking.
"Let's eat!" Li Yi was also hungry.
"What do you want to eat?" Bi Goo asked.
"Yeah, what do you want to eat? Song De, is there a cow? "Li Yi shouted outside.
"Dongzhu has two cows that died of old age. They were not allowed to plow the fields anymore. Four cows were watching other cows plow the fields and kept pushing forward. After a while, two of them collapsed." Song De's voice was heard.
"Is there a muscle head?" Li Yi asked again.
"Yes."
"Everyone, can we eat a muscle head pot? Is there anything wrong with your body? "Li Yi looked at everyone.
Everyone looked at him. Shouldn't you be the one to decide if we are suitable or not? You will be responsible if we collapse after eating.
"Okay. Let's eat this. Don't touch the staple food. Cut some beef into it. Those who did not eat eggs today, add in a poached egg. "
Li Yi thought for a while and gave an affirmative answer. Let's all eat.
"I want to eat egg custard." Liu Chong requested.
"Egg custard contains too much water. If you eat it, you might wake up at night." Li Yi rejected. What if you wet the bed?
Each person had a pot. There was alcohol burning under the pot, and the flame was not big.
Huang Li followed and ate. The people who came with him were arranged to eat hotpot. It was a hotpot for two people, not a pot for one person.
The room they were in was dry and comfortable.
Guangzhou was close to the sea and it was humid. Living there every day did not mean it was comfortable.
Just like the people in Alaska who lived in cold places. Did they really like it? If they liked it, why would they light a fire to keep warm?
Traveling north from Guangzhou, the boat was still wet as the Yangtze River was the waterway.
They entered Zhuangzi, took a bath, changed their clothes and blow-dried their hair.
Why was the house so refreshing? It was not cold, not hot, and not humid.
"Brother Yi, how many months' worth of food will the merchants send over in the future?" Li Longji was satisfied with the rice sent over.
60 ships, 600,000 dou of rice. As the staple food, it was enough for the entire capital government to eat for five days.
In the past, with the same population and the same amount of food, it was enough to eat for a day and a half.
Because there was no oil and water, they ate a lot but were not full.
A half-grown child would wake up hungry in the middle of the night after eating two bowls of rice.
Now, after eating a bowl, the rest was vegetables and a little meat. It was the same for every meal. Adding an egg was really economical.
When it was his birthday, it was difficult to eat a bowl of noodles. Now, was it a problem for the capital government to eat noodles?
"Li Lang, don't forget to fix the Tianshu."
Princess Yongmu held half a pig's trotter and ate it. At noon, she felt that it was not as delicious as the Li Family Zhuangzi.
She thought the same as her father. It was all Wu's fault.
According to Li Lang's Investiture of the Gods, Wu Zetian was Su Daji, who wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty.
"Xiu, the souls of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers will not become lonely ghosts."
Li Yi knew Princess Yongmu's thoughts. He also disliked Wu Zetian and the Zhou Dynasty.
After the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty appeared. The Tang Dynasty continued many of the Sui Dynasty's systems, including the recognition of the Sui Dynasty's civil and military officials.
When it was Wu Zetian's time, she was too crazy. In some cases, she was a bit like Saint Joan of Arc.
What she showed was her will. While accumulating the country's strength, she also consumed the foundation accumulated by the Tang Dynasty.
She beat, beat, beat the foreign races and the aristocratic families. Then she also built the internal structure and used the female officials.
What she didn't consider was that the productivity of the Tang Dynasty's society was actually dominated by men. Even if she strongly advocated Buddhism, how could Confucianism compromise?
She was really powerful. A group of men, whether they were in charge of the army or in charge of politics, all surrounded her.
She built the Zhou Dynasty, but in the end, she didn't give it to the Li Family. Otherwise, what could she do?
Maybe she wanted to achieve a dream in life. In this life, she wanted to do something to prove herself.
The Tianshu set up by her people was destroyed in Luoyang, but the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't react.
There was a lot of copper in the Tianshu, which was melted to make copper coins.
When the Tianshu was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty had too much evil money.
In history, it was impossible to get rid of evil money. The circulation of evil money was prohibited, and no one bought or sold it.
The imperial court also didn't use the money. In the end, they had no choice but to allow the evil money to be used.
"Xiao Yi, the evil money is not in circulation now. The people can't spend it." Bi Goo mentioned the evil money while eating.
In many places, let alone evil money, normal silk and copper coins were not in circulation.
In the capital government, no one could see people using silk or silk as currency. If they had copper coins, they would send them to the Li Family Zhuangzi to exchange for exchange vouchers.
