"Gang Rou, why do I feel that you have never placed the Turks and Tubo in your eyes? Ah! That, Tubo is uncle and niece, so keep it in your heart. "
Zhang Jiuling was anxious and said the wrong thing. He quickly followed up with another sentence.
There was nothing much to say, as he was right.
"I..." Li Yi raised his brows, "We are always interacting and getting familiar with each other."
He gave an irrelevant answer, as it was indeed hard for him to say.
He was familiar with places, and some tribes had disappeared in the river of history. The end result was not bad.
"You used the word 'interact' well!" Bi Goo said in disdain.
"That's right! Old Bi knows me. "Li Yi didn't care.
He changed the topic, "With the large amount of cotton we have this year, I am prepared to make more beautiful tents and military coats.
Military coats can be used as mattresses and blankets. Purely making blankets has few uses.
We need convenience on the grassland, so there are limitations to the use of cotton quilts. Wind will leak when wrapped around the body. "
"Are you going to give it to Julunpo and our people?" Su Yi started to think about where to migrate.
"Wusu, Gu Tribe, Xi Tribe, Khitan, all of them. If the Turks run away, they will not only lose their territory. "
Li Yi said with a smile, as if they were chatting about daily life.
The Later Turks were already in a precarious situation after Motsu was killed.
In history, the tribes that betrayed the Tang Empire didn't have a chance at all.
Now that they had suffered consecutive defeats and shifted their strategy, the other tribes would hit them when they were down. Everyone would push the wall when it was there!
Not to mention that the tribes there were all red and white. Just by using force to bully others, the other tribes would take the chance to take a bite out of them.
The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest.
Like a wolf pack, once the wolf king was defeated by other wolves, it could only run away. If not, it would be killed.
Like dogs, many normal dogs would leave their owners when they realized that they couldn't take it anymore.
It wasn't that they were sad, but many times, the owners would kill the dogs for meat.
Dogs also had the genes of wolves, and this continued.
If a dog could die peacefully in front of its owner, it meant that the person treated the dog well.
The kind of dogs that were raised in the courtyard in the countryside, when they were old, they would go out if they could. They were afraid that they would be eaten if they could not move.
The successive strategic defeats of the Later Turkic Khaganate had caused the tribes that had previously been intimidated by their martial prowess to be eyeing them covetously.
Since the Tang dynasty was strong, it was a good opportunity to integrate them.
He told them that the Tang dynasty had the ability to destroy them, and also told them that the Tang dynasty had the ability to bring them a better life.
Regardless of whether it was a pack of wolves or a crowd of people, all the fights were for power and benefits.
After getting used to this kind of contact, the next step was to integrate.
"With Brother Yi here, I am at ease. Oh, it's me who's at ease. "
Li Longji felt very comfortable. He even thought of asking Brother Yi not to come up with any ideas after he was done with the Turks. He wanted to train the officials.
If you do all the work, what about everyone else? You need to train others. When others can't do it, you can ask and solve the problem.
"In addition, there are also iron brackets to set up their big tent.
Their tents were made of wood or bones. The smaller tents were made of cow bones, horse bones, and camel bones, while the larger ones were made of wood.
They don't have much metal. Needless to say, I can't give them copper. Iron is fine.
They are all assembled in modules. As long as they are skilled, they can set up a big tent that can fit 30 people in half an hour.
The advantage is that it can be assembled quickly and is sturdy. I will make triangular fasteners.
The previous tents were made of felt, which can be fireproof. Now, the felt will be hung, and there will be a layer of cotton cloth inside to reduce the dust of the felt.
The disadvantage is that they can't buy it themselves. It's expensive.
Zhuangzi's electroplating technology is not good enough. I will use roasting technology. It's better to deal with rust. "
Li Yi wanted to give benefits. The people in his grassland area lived better than the people in the other grassland area.
Not only did each family have off-road vehicles and money, but the tents were also different.
The big tents were beautiful. When there was a snow disaster, the government immediately took action.
They mainly provided fodder and cleaned the snow around the tents.
On the other hand, the tents in the other side were small and pitiful. If they lacked grass, so be it! Counting on the government there? Dream on!
The inner layer of the tents, whether it was felt or leather, was gray and big.
Three sets of cotton cloth. When the weather is good, put it outside to dry. Use a stick to beat it. Where there is water, wash it diligently.
Washing cotton cloth was much easier than washing felt and leather. Leather was hard to clean, and if it was not handled well, it would be denitrified.
"Doctor Li, our … our army needs these things." Su Yi heard that there were good things, and he thought of himself first.
"Our tents will be open and inlaid with iron rings. We will use blended canvas. Below, we will add a chimney made of blue iron, a cast iron furnace, and enamel kettle."
Li Yi nodded to Su Yi. Don't worry, our people will definitely use the best. As long as my Zhuangzi's technology is up to par, I guarantee that it will be used in the military first.
"Doctor Li, the tents you mentioned … …" Chi Dai Zhu Dan quickly said. Don't wait to change the topic later.
Tubo also used tents. They were made of felt, leather, and wood. Who would bear to use iron?
"I will give you 500 sets. We have a good relationship."
Li Yi sincerely said to Chi Dai Zhu Dan. It's just tents! If you give them, talking about money will be far away.
Chi Dai Zhu Dan was instantly moved. He had always misunderstood Li Yi. Li Yi was actually not a calculative person.
Li Yi turned his head and said to Princess Jincheng, "Someone took a set of tents from our son-in-law and wants to reserve another set. If they look for you, you can tell them that we don't make money. We will sell them at cost price."
Princess Jincheng was stunned at first, then she smiled and nodded to show that she understood.
She was not Chi Dai Zhu Dan. She grew up in the palace and knew too much about these things. Understood!
500 tents sounded like a lot, but it was not enough for the Red White Palace.
Chi Dai Zhu Dan was a Zhan Pu. He had to set aside at least 100 sets.
As for the others, they only brought one set when they went out? Didn't the other subordinates use it?
Not to mention others, even if they went out for a walk, would 50 tents be enough?
The things were good, and those who were not qualified to enjoy the rewards could only buy them.
The cost price, this cost, it depended on how it was calculated.
Chi Dai Zhu Dan: "… …"
He had improved his IQ and EQ through hard work.
He turned his head and looked at Bi Goo: "Bi Zaifu, do you collect taxes?"
Bi Goo stroked his beard: "I don't accept gifts. The Imperial Family of the Tang dynasty should give you another 500 sets. The Imperial Family will pay for it.
If others want to buy them, they will pay a 30% tax.
However, 10% of the tax belongs to the Li Family Zhuangzi. The Ministry of Revenue will exempt it. Xiao Yi, is that okay? "
"Old Bi, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Li Yi was satisfied. Yes, I don't lack the tax money, but you have to give me an attitude. I will help you make money.
"It's going to rain. Do you still have tomatoes? How about tomato hot pot? Tomato beef brisket. "
Bi Goo felt that his teeth were good, so he challenged the beef brisket.
"Yes, Zhuangzi's ice cellar can preserve meat for a few days. Put in medium-size potato cubes. Don't leave any seeds." Li Yi said and looked at Princess Yongmu: "Do you want braised?"
"Stewed is fine." Princess Yongmu's attitude towards Li Yi was also full of happiness. It doesn't matter if I eat or not, as long as you think of me.
