"Seventh Daughter-In-Law, are you washing clothes?"
"Yes, Third Aunt, you bought meat?"
"Look, other people don't understand. They think that pork is cheap in the West Market, but in the East Market, when the rich people finish buying, other people don't go there. They have money and don't cook."
"It's really expensive."
"Meat is good, and there are many bones. Today, the son of my son was one rank lower than my son in the exam. He even gave me half a plate of pork liver."
"Yes, your son's studies are good."
"That's it. I don't really care about him. I'll send the braised pork liver to you later. Leave someone at home. "
"Third Aunt, leave it for your son."
"There are many. Ah! Seventh Daughter-In-Law, do you know? Our fleet that went out to sea has returned. No one is missing. "
"They're back in Chang 'an?"
"Haizhou. They took the train there and came back to report the news. The Winged Knights flew down when the train was moving. They directly jumped off the horse and went to the Li Family Zhuangzi. "
"Yes! The Winged Knights are amazing. They can bring back a lot of high-yielding seeds from overseas? "
"Your family doesn't have any land. The seeds have nothing to do with your family."
"My family can buy food. We have a lot of food and it's cheap to eat."
In Fengle Square, the third square south of Zhuque Gate on the west side of Zhuque Avenue, a woman who went out to buy meat was chatting with her young daughter-in-law who was washing clothes.
It was 7: 50, and the news was flying.
The people who took the bus said it on the bus. When they got off the bus, the driver, oh, the coachman, they would tell the new passengers.
The people who took the bus to the East Market first yelled and told everyone the good news.
By lunchtime, all the counties near Chang 'an, including Lantian County, knew about it.
At this speed, the news would probably spread all over the capital before dinner.
In the big square of Li Family Zhuangzi, tables and chairs were set up in the sheds.
The children stayed in the same area. They were the happiest. Not only did they know that the people who went out to sea had returned, but they also heard that there were no classes in the afternoon.
As for eating meat skewers, it was the last thing they cared about.
The officials changed into casual clothes and found their seats according to their departments and ranks.
Bi Goo and the others were in a small circle. Li Yi was in charge of barbecuing meat skewers.
This was the only thing that made everyone happy. They could bully Li Yi into working.
Li Yi barbecued meat skewers, and no one could eat too much.
He learned from the Winged Knights and ate half a kilogram of meat per skewer.
Li Yi performed the method of roasting skewers by flipping the fan. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, hundreds of skewers were flipped together.
Just roast it until it's done. You don't have to sprinkle any seasoning on it. Just dip it in dry ingredients and it's a waste to sprinkle any seasoning on it.
This time, Chi brought Zhu Dan here. When he got the news, he sighed at the strength of the Tang dynasty's navy. It seemed that the Tang dynasty was going to expand further.
He didn't eat kebabs, so Li Yi roasted cowpeas, kidney beans, chives, eggplant, garlic, lettuce, chrysanthemum, prawns, and pressed fish fillets for him …
"Xiao Yi, come sit down and eat." Noble Consort Lu called out to Li Yi.
"I'll guard the grill. If anyone wants to eat something, I won't have to go back and forth."
Li Yi waved his hand and drank a mouthful of iced beer. Cool!
Noble Consort Lu smiled and didn't force him. She turned to feed her grandson.
"They must have suffered a lot at sea."
Princess Yongmu knew how uncomfortable it was to go to sea, even if she took a yacht.
When others used a sailboat, they needed to adjust the sails and be exposed to the wind and sun on the deck.
The speed of a boat was slow, and it was too late to avoid danger.
"So their income should be high. See what they brought back, calculate the value, and give them a share according to the proportion."
Li Yi had already decided that the soldiers who went to sea for the first time were the most precious.
They risked their lives, so they should be rewarded accordingly.
In the future, each of these people may be the captain of a ship, and then some people will be in all kinds of accidents …
Li Yi said and looked at Bi Goo. Bi Goo didn't understand at first, and then became angry. "Will I collect taxes from them?"
"I'm asking you what to eat. I can roast it here. "
Li Yi firmly refused to admit it. As he spoke, he picked up a meat skewer and gestured to himself to eat.
"I won't collect taxes from them, but I will deduct yours." Bi Goo wanted to get back at him.
"The food is not for me. It's for you. You can keep it." Li Yi blinked.
"We'll keep it … We ask you to deal with it." Bi Goo finished and gulped down a big mouthful of wine to calm the anger in his heart.
"Li Yi, will there be wars overseas in the future?" Song Jing waited for Li Yi to finish eating a skewer of meat and asked.
"We won't take the initiative to attack. As long as we go southwest and meet some people, they will be aggressive. If they find an opportunity, they will never make peace with us. "
Li Yi said clearly. Don't you always think that it's wrong for soldiers to be aggressive? It's a waste of money.
I won't mention how much money we make, but I'll tell you that others will definitely beat us.
Song Jing raised his eyebrows. "I'm not afraid of spending money. Now that the Tang dynasty has enough money, they will naturally change their foreign strategy.
However, if there's money, where will the soldiers come from? Which army should we transfer to supplement the navy?
Can people who are used to fighting on horseback adapt to the sea? What attack methods does the enemy have? "
He made it clear. I won't stop the war now. Let's fight, there's money to be made.
How will the problem of soldiers be solved? Relying on the original manpower?
Chi Dai Zhu Dan stopped eating and listened carefully. He also wanted to know.
Through contact, he had to admit that Li Yi was indeed amazing. No matter what problem he asked him, he would give a good solution.
What about now? Should the soldiers be transferred from the northwest? Tubo would feel much better.
Li Yi drank another mouthful of wine and flipped through the grilled food. "Henan Province's Dengzhou and Lai Province are active in the Bohai Sea.
Haizhou's places are active in Haizhou. The people of Suzhou have a good life. They don't want to be a navy.
Hangzhou is also no problem. Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, and other places have many mountains and few fields. Life is difficult.
Find their people to join the army and give them a lot of money to settle down. This solves the problem of soldiers and helps the local people to live a good life. "
He listed the provinces by the sea and introduced the situation of each province.
The Tang Dynasty's Fujian and other places were poor. During the Ming Dynasty, most of the Wokou pirates were fake, let alone the Tang Dynasty. They were all their people.
Later on, the local people were still poor. Later on, the country was powerful. Under normal circumstances, people would not starve to death.
If people starved to death, it would be considered a dereliction of duty by the local officials. It was not that the country did not have the power to do so.
"There's also Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Qinzhou, Lu Zhou, Feng Province, Tang Province, and other places to the west of Lu Zhou.
Currently, the people there are mainly mountain people. They belong to the Tang Dynasty. Under the dual effect of military force and benefits, their combat strength is very strong. "
Li Yi continued to count. Currently, the places in other countries belonged to the Tang Dynasty. They belonged to the Tang Dynasty. This would not change.
Chi Dai Zhu Dan was dumbfounded. He looked at Li Yi in a different light.
'How do you know all these places? I can't remember most of the small places where I live. '
"What about Yuezhou and other places? For example, Gui Province. "
Su Yi spoke. The place he chose was Li Yi's Guangxi and Guilin. It was poor now!
"There are other arrangements there. After the steam engine ships are upgraded, Gui Province will become rich."
Li Yi had no intention of transferring soldiers from there. The place was suitable for growing fruits, new varieties of pineapples, sugar cane, bananas, and other things.
