Zhang Jiuling returned to the political affairs hall and wrote a letter to tell his hometown to continue to build roads and release pigeons in bamboo tubes.
"The budget for road construction needs to be increased. I finally know how to spend more money."
Bi Goo looked at Zhang Jiuling's letter and sighed.
Without a wide road, the steam engine car could not walk. At least two cars were needed to stagger.
The road did not need to be thirty feet wide. Twenty feet was enough.
"The people in Jiangnan have more free time in winter. Spending money to hire people to build roads is an opportunity to increase the income of the people."
Song Jing habitually considered problems from the perspective of the people's livelihood. The imperial court spent money to build infrastructure, the people earned money, and their lives were better.
"The people have more money in their hands, and prices are rising." Su Yi followed his thinking and found the problem.
A large number of people who did not have much to do in winter had extra money in their hands. They bought delicious food and meat, and meat was expensive.
"Yes, they buy pork to eat. The people who raise pigs earn money and use the money from selling pork to buy food. The price of food increases again."
Bi Goo was trapped. After he finished speaking, he said to the little robot that he had forced to bring to the political affairs hall, "Contact Li Yi."
"I want to bask in the sun," the little robot protested.
"I'll move you out after you finish speaking. You're not allowed to go far." Bi Goo gave in.
When Li Yi received the news, he was drawing. The internal combustion engine drawings and the smaller steam engine cars had already been drawn.
He wanted to build an internal combustion engine powered ship that was lighter than the steam engine. Usually, he would not go out to sea.
He would wander around the coastal waters and occupy some nearby islands. The local residents were not afraid and gave them benefits.
The Japanese Empire, Silla, used for trade, Liuqiu, Ryukyu, and turned them into his own.
This included some islands and reefs that no one went to, as well as people who lived there. The people who lived there had no nationality and were from the Tang dynasty.
The biggest use of internal combustion engine ships and steam engine ships was in war.
In a naval battle, sending out steam engine ships could bully oarships and sailboats to death. They did not play with the enemy at all.
"Old Bi, the little robot needs to be charged. If you don't catch it, will you carry it back when it runs out of battery? Why don't I send you a human-powered generator and you can charge it? "
Li Yi heard the little robot complain first. It said that it was under house arrest and was about to starve to death. Little Moving Still was the pitiful one.
Bi Goo shamelessly quibbled first. "It's cold in the morning. I was afraid that it would freeze, so I sent it outside. It's hot in the afternoon."
He continued to talk about what had just happened, "Giving out money to the commoners who were recruited, and the commoners have money to buy things, causing prices to increase. Will this become inflation?"
"Building roads in winter? The northern bank of the Yangtze River had a short cold period in winter, so it was indeed suitable.
When the price of grain rises, there is often liquidation. When the price of meat rises, there is farming. When there is demand, there is production. It is most convenient to raise pigs around Dongting Lake.
Steam engine ships could enter the Yangtze River to fish in winter and lower the price of other meat with the price of fish.
Recruit fishermen to help deal with the fish caught. Fishermen will not be affected by the large amount of fish sold. "
Li Yi wanted the other party to read the book properly, but he felt that it would be too much of a waste of time, so he might as well say it directly.
"Ah! I remember now, supply and demand. Let's go! No one will generate electricity for you if I bring you out to bask in the sun. "
"It's not enough at all. It's too late. I have to find a place to replenish it tonight. Dongzhu, you wrap a coil and hang it on the steam engine to generate electricity. "
Bi Goo talked to the little robot. The little robot complained and gave Li Yi ideas.
"Yes, I'll hang it up. The coil is easy to wrap around." Li Yi agreed.
When the little robot was silent, he put the diesel internal combustion engine drawing aside and drew the structure diagram of the generator.
It was the same as the principle of the telegraph battery and the telephone wire. He added more batteries and stored them after generating electricity.
He could not always rely on the things he exchanged with his life. The Tang dynasty needed its own industrial system.
The steam engine was used to generate electricity. The power was large, and the little robot could change the voltage while charging.
The little robot regained its freedom and stopped talking to save electricity.
If it was basking in the sun early in the morning, it would hum a song. If someone passed by and was bored, they would chat with it.
"It's written in the book that the supply and demand relationship promotes the development of productivity." Bi Goo turned to Su Yi and Song Jing and said.
The two looked away. There was too much knowledge in the book and they couldn't remember it all.
How many books did they need to memorize for the imperial examination? Xiao Yi wrote one book after another and they were all related to each other.
"The farmers of Soft and Hard Country have gone there. I believe they will help guide the local people. He values the area around Dongting Lake very much."
Zhang Jiuling said a reassuring sentence. "Don't worry."
…
The envoys of other countries were worried at this time. They all ran to the south of the city.
The steam engine car stopped. The craftsmen on Zhuangzi were checking the situation and collecting data.
The car stopped voluntarily. It was not because of a breakdown.
The Turks looked at the wheels. The wheels were big and they thought they could run on the grassland.
They looked at the body of the car. It was covered with iron plates. Arrows couldn't penetrate it. How many people could it carry?
"We need more information. Don't play tricks in the future. If Princess Jincheng didn't plead for you, you would die there."
Isinba was talking to Bozhu, who had just been released. When he first came here, he didn't know anything. He kicked the kid who polished shoes and his leg was broken by Bozhu.
Now he was smart and worried about Bozhu. What's the use of testing?
"It's definitely better than a carriage. It can carry more goods. Can it be transported to Tubo?"
Bozhu didn't have a temper. He was taught a lesson when he was under house arrest.
He was locked in a dark room. There were two kerosene lamps and a lot of diesel.
At the same time, there was a big bucket and a flushing toilet.
Food was canned food and instant noodles. He didn't lack anything. He even had ink, paper, and inkstone.
He couldn't hear anything outside and couldn't see the light outside.
For the first two days, he didn't care. He ate, lit the lamp, went to the toilet, sat on the floor and thought about things.
A few days later, he didn't know if it was day or night. He could eat or not. He didn't seem to be hungry.
He was afraid of the dark. He always kept a kerosene lamp burning. When he slept, he would lower the flame.
He started to have insomnia. He thought he had slept for a long time, but he was still sleepy.
Yesterday, he couldn't take it anymore. He shouted and knocked his head against the wall. He knocked himself unconscious. There were still bumps on his head.
When he got the news, he couldn't bear to lose a good subject. He begged Princess Jincheng. Princess Jincheng interceded and he was released.
He held a clock in his hand and looked at the time from time to time.
He lost his sense of time in the dark room. He finally understood how scared he was.
He knew it was Li Yi's idea, but he didn't dare to scold him. He was afraid he would be locked in again. He was too wicked. He had food to eat, but he lost a few pounds.
Enduring the pain in his head, he raised the clock to his ear and listened. He found that happiness was so simple.
"It won't be used in the war for the time being. There's no use for it at the moment. Li Yi doesn't care about the Turks."
Isinba learned about the situation from others. The big guys had to run to the 20 counties outside Chang 'an.
There were also small ones to replace the cows and horses to plow the land.
It was tiring to use them in the war. There were few of them and they weren't useful. If they fought the Turks, they could run away at any time.
Since there were many of them, it was better to develop the Tang dynasty first. If they could plow the land quickly, it would solve a big problem!
