After the meal, the Winged Knights found a secluded place to hide from women.
He took off his clothes and rubbed snow on his body. He took a bath and froze. His entire body was red like a cooked crab.
He wiped himself dry with a towel, put on his clothes, and returned to the camp. Fan Fan and another person waited for the telegram. The others fell asleep and did not care about anything.
Some local men secretly went over to take a look and came back to tell others.
They knew how to rub snow. When one's hands were cold, they would grab a handful of snow and rub it hard.
They had never rubbed their bodies on their bodies before. It was cold. Could they not bathe? It was normal not to bathe in winter.
Luoyang, Drunken Immortal Residence.
Li Yi was looking at the sweet potatoes in a daze when the telegram arrived. He wanted to roast the sweet potatoes, but Luoyang was not cold now. He felt that something was missing when he ate the sweet potatoes.
"More than two thousand locals want to follow me. Catch a white fox for me. We will reach the commander-in-chief's office in two days."
Li Yi finished reading the telegram and continued to look at the sweet potatoes.
"There's only one white fox. I didn't say whether it's male or female. How will one live in Luoyang?"
Princess Yongmu was concerned about the fox. The fox had no companion and was all alone.
"Don't be afraid. We'll see what breed it is when we come back. When the Yellow River has water, we'll go out and find a few more. Is it an Arctic silver fox? "
Li Yi comforted Princess Yongmu. It was easy to catch a fox. They could go to the Arctic through the Bering Strait.
They could bring back a batch of polar bears and raise them in the zoo. It would just consume a lot of ice!
"It snowed here last year. Snow can stay on the top of the mountain. The higher the mountain, the better.
If it snows, we'll go to the Cemetery of Martyrs and the Pear Garden behind Tianshu to sell roasted sweet potatoes.
If we don't go to Mount Song, what if there are monks and Daoists who want to harm us? "
Princess Yongmu said according to previous years, they were not selling now.
"Reply to the telegram. Say: When we reach the Bohai Sea, we can trade slaves. We'll wait …"
"Li Lang, the telegram has more words. It won't delay." Princess Yongmu reminded him.
"Oh! He told them that when they arrived, they would see if there were any slaves for sale. It would be even better if they could buy a family of slaves. While they were at it, they would also buy horses. When they saw their craftsmen, they would ask them if they wanted to go with them.
Don't take too much of the beast's fur, we don't lack it. As for the pine nuts … take them, they worked hard to get them.
Ginseng and velvet antler as usual, gold and silver were also needed, and the rest were exchanged for food for the journey.
They picked wild honey to exchange for water for everyone to drink on the way, so that they wouldn't suffer.
Once you reach the location and see Da Zuorong, contact him via telegram and see if he needs anything. "
Li Yi changed to a more understandable language structure. People were more important.
One more person coming to the Tang dynasty meant one less person coming to the Bohai Sea.
The local monarchy was the same as the Tang dynasty, with slavery and feudalism.
Now, all the slaves that could still be bought in Luoyang had been bought. The moment Li Yi arrived, the Li Family Zhuangzi took action.
The price was fair, and the people who bought and sold slaves did not raise the price on account of the many people who had been taken away a few days ago.
Because some of those who were taken away were their peers. Confiscating all of their peers' slaves was a big deal, wasn't it?
The slaves and the craftsmen underwent the same lie detection procedure, including the craftsmen's families.
The palace maids and eunuchs at the side wrote it down, turned around, and ran out to deliver it to Li Longji.
"We'll have hotpot tonight. Cut these two baskets of sweet potatoes into slices and cook them. They'll cook very quickly."
As Li Yi spoke, he picked up a smaller sweet potato, rubbed it, opened his mouth, and chewed on it. First, he chewed off the dirt on the outside, spat a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then chewed on it.
"Dongzhu, cut it with a knife," Qing Song reminded.
"There's no feeling when you cut it with a knife. Just eat it like this. In the future, many children will sit in other people's sweet potato fields and steal sweet potatoes to eat like this. I have to write in the newspaper to be careful of germs and bugs in your mouth. "
Li Yi finished speaking and continued chewing. It was delicious, but unfortunately, it wasn't other people's sweet potatoes.
Li Yi's arrangements were passed to Li Longji, and Li Longji continued to soak in the hot spring.
When the ministers heard the news, they all came over and entered the pool to talk.
"Fan Fan … in the Bohai Sea, winter is hard to endure, and it's the same in the northwest of the Tang dynasty. Fortunately, there's enough food, and after the Yellow River freezes, it's convenient to transport it through the ice. "
Song Jing wanted to say that Fan Fan ran around blindly and asked him to wait at the seaside, but another group caught up with him.
As soon as he said these two words, he suddenly sobered up. The Winged Knights were not under his control.
The southwest barbarians and the Li Family Zhuangzi's farmers had nothing to do with him.
This time, they belonged to the Li Family Zhuangzi's trade with the Bohai Sea. The border trade had not formed an orthodox mutual market, so they could not collect taxes.
They could only bring things back and collect taxes when the Li Family Zhuangzi sold them.
Li Yi did not sell ginseng, pine nuts, horses, tussah cocoons, and deer antlers.
When gold and silver were brought back, they were directly exchanged for exchange certificates.
"The place where the Heavenly Soldiers lived and the people along the Yellow River lived better lives. This is Your Majesty's grace and the fate of the Tang dynasty. "
Su Yi followed the words and praised Li Longji. Saying a few more words of praise would not offend anyone.
"This subject suddenly remembered that the Li Family Zhuangzi has as much money as there are exchange certificates. This money … most of it has been invested, right?"
Bi Goo thought about the situation of gold and silver being exchanged for exchange certificates and trembled in the hot spring. He was frightened.
"My collateral is in the Li Family Zhuangzi, and it's not a small amount. Later, the imperial court will follow suit and issue banknotes of the Tang dynasty."
Li Longji reminded Bi Goo that this was a transition. This was a transition.
Brother Yi's money was all out in the open, and he did not hide it.
Most of the exchange coupons were used to purchase military supplies, and the rest would be converted into tax every time they were traded.
Then, the Li Family Zhuangzi would pay for the construction of roads and bridges, like the Yellow River Bridge. The imperial court's money was used elsewhere.
The agreed expenses would be paid with taxes in the future, and the bridge did not belong to the Li Family Zhuangzi. It was used by the people, unless Brother Yi collected a bridge toll.
"Yes, the imperial court needs to make more money. When the time comes, use the exchange certificates earned to exchange for banknotes of the Tang dynasty. This will consume the cost of producing banknotes."
Bi Goo was worried as he spoke. The more exchange certificates printed, the more money they would lose.
Everyone's money was money. How should they deal with it? They could not suddenly withdraw the cost of exchange certificates from the Li Family Zhuangzi just because the imperial court printed banknotes of the Tang dynasty.
"Ask Gang Rou. He knows. What should we eat tonight? It looks like it's going to drizzle. "
Zhang Jiuling was the most simple. When he encountered something that took a lot of effort, he directly threw it to Li Yi.
"Yes, ask." Bi Goo looked at the little robot.
"Hotpot tonight. Just now, Dongzhu said to put sweet potato slices and cut them thicker," the little robot replied.
"This old man said to ask about banknotes," Bi Goo emphasized.
"Ask when we eat hotpot tonight! Dongzhu is eating sweet potatoes now. He has no time. "The little robot was very intelligent.
"Has the telegram been sent?" Bi Goo changed the topic.
"I didn't send the telegram. How would I know?" The little robot turned its head and shook its head.
"You stay here and you don't know the situation?" Bi Goo grasped the key question.
"I know the situation, Your Majesty. I will report to you at any time in the future! I sent it, Your Majesty ordered. "
The little robot became very obedient. Let me tell you, see, I am very cooperative.
Bi Goo: "…"
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that." Bi Goo explained to Li Longji with a bitter face.
