Dobgan Modi didn't know that there were many surveillance cameras in the house. He continued to talk and asked someone to scrub his back.
Those people were fascinated by the picture he painted. They were waiting to trade for things to earn big money and go back to live in another place.
Then, they would buy their own slaves and not work all day long to enjoy themselves.
Li Longji looked a few more times and saw that someone was scrubbing his back. He stopped looking and turned to go to another room.
The people from Honglu Temple stayed behind to listen and remember the key points.
"Drink some tea." Bi Goo looked at Li Yi.
"Okay!" Li Yi agreed. He set up the Kung Fu tea and gave everyone a cup.
Everyone looked for Old Bi when they couldn't sleep at night. It had nothing to do with him.
"The local people don't even know how to resist. Pitiful and sad." Bi Goo took a sip of tea and sighed.
"Those who are beaten are conquered by people from other places. For example, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, Di. "
Li Yi gave an example. In the past, they were also in some places with low status and couldn't defeat others.
"It's not the same. At least there were people who resisted and eventually defeated other places. It was Nan Bei Chao."
Song Jing disagreed. How can we be the same as them? They didn't know how to resist.
Li Yi distributed the tea. "It's true. The local small countries are worse than before Nan Bei Chao."
"So, so many that we don't know the name of their country. Maybe when we just know it, it changed in the blink of an eye."
Su Yi had never heard of Shi Bo. He looked at Li Yi and knew that he didn't know either.
There were so many that even Li Yi didn't know. He could guess how many there were and how chaotic it was.
Li Yi didn't add water for the time being. He picked up the almonds and ate them. "The more you fight, the poorer you get. The poorer you are, the more you fight.
A strong and unified country is a blessing for the people. Just like the Tang dynasty.
When the military strength is stable, economic construction is an important strategy to stabilize the country.
Especially internal corruption, it must be eliminated. Strong cities have always been breached from the inside. "
He taught everyone a lesson and kept emphasizing the problem of corruption.
"Therefore, those who like to fight will die." Song Jing found a topic to talk about. He wanted to weaken the power of the generals.
"Some wars can make money, such as the oil we need. Our Tang dynasty's taste is not good enough.
There are good ones outside, and at the same time, they are easy to dig out. We can bring them back to process them into products and sell them back.
If a hundred ships of oil were shipped over, they wouldn't even need to use one ship's worth of oil products.
Compared to selling glass and mirrors, the things made from oil can be used by the people of the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi retorted to Song Jing. Who said that it was expensive for him to fight?
Besides, how could Tubo not fight? Someone hit you.
The Later Turks are so savage, always attacking us. With our soldiers defending, do they not eat?
You don't know that they are working hard to develop in the northeast. That person in Bohai Kingdom is about to die, right?
Anyway, I've already given him the medicine. He can take it if he meets the right symptoms.
Look at the pine nuts you're eating, where did you get them?
Song Jing was unhappy. He lowered his head and picked at the pine nuts with his fingernails.
Zhang Jiuling tried to smooth things over. "Kerosene and diesel refined from oil are more convenient for lighting lamps. When there are enough of them, the people of the Tang dynasty can use them. "
"When looking for a place to build an oil refinery, many of the subsidiary products lack technology. The improvement of materials is also a factor of technology."
Li Yi followed up. When there are more oil, the steam engine can be replaced with an internal combustion engine.
Ordinary people can't buy it, but renting it is not a problem.
They can continue to build roads for better transportation.
Everyone began to talk about future trade and development. Compared to the small countries in the chaos of war, their own Great Tang was much better.
… …
The next day, the rain did not stop. In fact, it got heavier.
Li Longji mainly wanted to feel the prosperity and power of the Tang dynasty, so he chose the good ones to talk about.
Li Yi was in the hospital and did not go. Was it not uncomfortable to have a shelter when it rained? It was wet and cold.
There were patients in the hospital who had undergone appendectomy. Some of them had their stitches removed and could walk normally.
Li Yi did not dare to let them out. They had to recover completely before they could continue to work.
Now, he observed them and enlightened them. He told them that they would be paid half of their wages.
They also ate at the construction site. At the same time, they had inflammation during work. It was a work injury.
Li Yi could only comfort himself and others. He had no choice. If he did not give them wages, the people would be worried to death.
He did not give them all because he was afraid that some people would be lazy and get sick.
"Li Lang, Ron came back last night."
Li Yi walked around. When he was resting, Princess Yongmu came to find him.
"Ron?" Li Yi looked like he was thinking.
"The one who built the road in Shi Xiazi Village," Princess Yongmu reminded him.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Li Yi remembered. Yes, there was such a person.
"He … has something to do?" Li Yi reacted again.
Ron went to spend the night with Princess Yuzhen. He would not let Princess Yongmu mention it to him.
"He said he thought of a good way to build the road." Princess Yongmu had something to say.
"Him? A way to build the road? "Li Yi's tone rose twice in a row.
There were craftsmen in charge of building roads. How many years had the road been built since ancient times? How could he think of a good way? Did he think the craftsmen were stupid?
"It can't be stealing the credit, right?" Li Yi considered that the craftsmen might have ideas during the construction process and reported it.
The officials under the Ministry of Works would not steal it. As long as they said which craftsmen it was, they would naturally be rewarded.
The craftsmen could be promoted and receive benefits. It depended on the merit.
The people of the imperial court were not stupid. If the officials stole the credit, the craftsmen would not have ideas in the future.
"It … shouldn't be … right?" Princess Yongmu was not sure. "He said that when it rains, he directly smeared the cement and sand on the road, then turned it over and pressed it. It was fast."
"No, it's not stealing the credit." Li Yi was sure that it was absolutely not.
"You can tell?" Princess Yongmu was curious. How could he be so sure?
"The craftsmen are not stupid. How could he come up with such a rotten idea? It's his own idea. That's right. "Li Yi laughed.
"Ah? It's not possible? "
"There's a ratio for cement to build the road. How do you mix it with rain? Add the soil on the road and mix it together …
He can use his brain, which is worth encouraging, but don't think about cement. There's not enough elsewhere. "
Li Yi felt that he could not be too discouraging. It was not easy for the craftsmen.
Princess Yongmu blinked. "He also said that if the road is long, especially when facing a hillside, even if there's no river, a bridge will have to be built.
If it's just a hole, there will be a lot of traffic, which will compact the hole under the road.
Rain or seepage on the mountain will erode the road, and that place will inevitably be muddy.
If the bridge is broken, it can be repaired. It's easier than repairing the road. The roadbed won't be soaked. "
Li Yi was stunned. After a few breaths, he said, "Culvert? It's not easy to build a culvert with cement. It's indeed suitable to use bamboo to pave it. "
He thought of the place from Luoyang to the Yellow River. There were many mountains, and they had to take a detour.
Another type of culvert was paved with stone. When there was a lot of traffic, it would be difficult to repair it. Bamboo could be replaced quickly.
This method was good, but … who came up with it?
