When it was time for dinner, Li Yi printed out a drawing.
He drew it himself using the software. There was a number at a certain location on the map of the Tang dynasty, and the corresponding medicinal herbs were written below it.
This drawing was handed over to the workshop. The workshop engraved the plates and printed them in large quantities.
He was reluctant to print the paper. If it wasn't for the fact that drawing by hand was too tiring, he wouldn't have done it on the computer.
"Master, let me massage your shoulders. You must be tired." The little girl looked at the drawing and smiled with satisfaction.
Master is amazing. If it was someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to draw this picture.
How much do you know about the situation of the Tang dynasty and the medicinal herbs in order to be able to hide the world in your heart?
"Mm!" Li Yi enjoyed it. It was his duty to be a disciple.
"Master, you must spend a lot of money. The medicine is too expensive. The people can't afford it." The little girl rubbed Li Yi's shoulders and said.
"You can give it to the people at the cost. Even the imperial court of the Tang dynasty will subsidize it a little.
For the people who are really poor and sick, you can give them a handful of medicine to cure their illness. The value of the people who survive is far greater than a handful of medicine.
In the future, when the people of the Tang dynasty in other places go to build and bring back good things, the people of the Tang dynasty will not have any thoughts of betrayal. "
Li Yi relaxed his shoulders. His eldest disciple's hands were weak and couldn't massage him.
Bi Goo panicked when he heard this. "Xiao Yi, if the imperial court subsidizes the people, it will make them lazy. Besides, how much money will be spent on the medicinal herbs?"
"Only a very small part of the Chinese people are lazy. If we strengthen the propaganda and guidance, the people will be very hardworking.
The imperial court can get back the medicinal herbs subsidized by the imperial court through trade.
Only knowing how to plant and cultivate medicinal herbs to subsidize the people is not a long-term solution. Water will dry up if there is no source. Wood will wither if there is no soil.
You didn't read the book I gave you. Didn't it write about the national financial income and social income? "
Li Yi patted his eldest disciple's hand, indicating that he should stop massaging and quickly sit down to eat.
Tonight, vegetables were the main dish, and meat was only a supplementary ingredient.
The cafeteria was different. It was still the same as before.
Lan Bao and Minamida Kazuko joined them. They sat in the corner with stir-fried mushrooms in front of them.
They had no shortage of meat when they went out to sea, so they brought canned meat and bacon with them.
There was no shortage of vegetables either. The Japanese Empire had a lot of wild vegetables.
You've worked hard to stir-fry the mushrooms and wood ears! He had brought back a lot of 'money' in one go.
Li Yi prepared to eat. He had braised pork, so he ate it with Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan.
He had done too much mental work in the afternoon and was tired!
"Xiao Yi, you can't stop halfway." Bi Goo was still waiting for Li Yi to continue.
"Sell it. Crush the medicinal herbs. Make an approximate amount of each and sell it outside.
It was said that no matter what kind of illness it was, it was up to others to decide whether they should take it or not. If they died from it, it would be a bad fate. If they survived from it, it would be because the medicine of the Tang dynasty was effective.
Sell it at a higher price, and the money earned will be used to subsidize the people of the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi picked up the trembling red braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth. Delicious!
"It's selling things to outsiders and giving the money to your own people! It's simple! "Bi Goo acted as if it was no big deal.
Li Yi couldn't be bothered with him. He picked up a Monkey Head Mushroom for his eldest disciple.
"Dongzhu, guess what goods I want to bring back?" Lan Bao couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask for a long time.
"Where are you going to guess?" Yao Chong looked at Lan Bao. You're so immature.
Everyone agreed with Yao Chong's words. Lan Bao went to the Japanese Empire and came back to ask people what the Japanese Empire needed.
Li Yi said, "Can the Minamida family eat indica rice? It's cheap. You can have as much as you want. Indica rice is expensive, and the flour needs extra packaging to prevent moisture. "
Lan Bao's chopsticks fell on the table. He was dumbfounded.
Minamida Kazuko was also shocked. Her face was full of disbelief.
"Ah! The Japanese Empire is short of food. I've already thought of it, but I didn't say it, "Bi Goo said again.
Everyone automatically ignored him. After dinner, they would ask Li Yi to take a look at his illness or calculate his birthday.
"Dongzhu, how did you know?" Lan Bao picked up his chopsticks again. He was puzzled.
"When the Minamida family realized that they were making money from the first trade, they sent weapons. They had to recruit people to defend them. Money moves people's hearts.
Due to the lack of production, the Japanese Empire is currently short of food. Not only do they have to raise weapons, but they also have to feed the soldiers.
The people who work at the docks can eat six dishes. The staple food is enough, not to mention the soldiers who are fighting at all times. "
Li Yi understood the situation of the Japanese Empire in this era. Not to mention a certain family, even the capital of Ping City still didn't have enough food.
During the recruitment, the soldiers were required to bring their own food.
The later reforms had not yet begun. The entire society was in a state of food shortage.
The first batch of weapons sent over was to defend the place. The second batch would definitely be food.
Even if Lan Bao didn't say it, he would have given them food.
"As long as it's food, we can eat it." Minamida Kazuko looked at Li Yi gratefully. At the same time, she was more determined to follow the Tang dynasty.
The Tang dynasty had Li Dongzhu. They were not enemies.
"Dongzhu, they still want …" Lan Bao continued.
"Bacon, canned meat, and salted eggs. Treat the salted eggs like this. Put them in a jar and make them when you leave.
Wash an egg, dip it in white wine, roll it in salt, wrap it in oil paper, and put it in the jar.
You can eat it when you reach the place. It can be stored for one or two months. Don't be too salty.
Also, bring a large piece of rock candy that hasn't been decolorized. At critical moments, a small piece of candy can last you a day. "
Li Yi didn't wait for Lan Bao to say it. He had already mentioned the things he wanted to give.
In fact, the better thing was the dried meat floss. Li Yi didn't want to give it. There were too many consumables. It was better to give it to the soldiers at the border.
"It's all right." Lan Bao lowered his head and ate.
He finally understood why Li Yi let him do it. It was just that if he wanted to rebel, he would definitely be killed.
It was too terrifying. He was so smart that he was like a demon!
"Don't be in a daze, everyone. Eat!"
Li Longji ordered calmly. What was there to be in a daze for? It was normal for Brother Yi to be like this.
"Okay, I'm not used to it." Su Yi muttered and ate.
Li Yi ate a few mouthfuls of rice. "Besides, the galleys aren't very useful. There are new galleys in Dengzhou. Send a few to help.
When we pass by on the way back, I'll ask for a letter from His Majesty … and a document from the Political Affairs Hall.
Enlist the Tang dynasty's navy to help load the threshed wheat in the eastern area of Henan Province. Let's go together.
Bring more iron ingots and sell them through the Minamida family in exchange for what I need.
Just come back before the Yellow River runs out. Remember to make a list and give it to me together. "
Li Yi had more plans. He was not satisfied with the Minamida family's operation method. It was too slow.
Selling iron ingots could be used to make farming tools and weapons.
The Japanese Empire's smelting technology was not good enough. If they were given good iron ingots, they would usually use them to make samurai swords.
Lan Bao knew how to do it. He had learned it when he was learning it.
Minamida Kazuko gathered her courage. "Li Dongzhu, if you sell iron ingots to others, what if they make weapons and attack us?"
"You can melt the iron ingots and mix it with bad iron. You can make weapons and sell them to others. It's best to make farming tools. Anyway, I'll provide you with things. You have to give me what I want even if you keep it for yourselves. "
Li Yi didn't care how others dealt with it. If you have the ability, take the initiative to attack.
