"It's a pity that there's only one Xiao Yi." Yao Chong looked at the people eating.
What he meant was that if there were a bunch of Li Yi, each province would send one, and the Tang dynasty would last for two or three years. Tell me! Who would they beat?
Only places where Li Yi personally went would the local situation change quickly.
Take Guo Province for example. Along the way, the local standard of living increased.
In Tongzhou and Huazhou, the people were building new houses.
Flying to save people, the local people were about to join forces with the nearby provinces.
Li Longji muttered, "Let's develop the two capitals first. Only when we're better can we reduce the world's supply."
He understood Li Yi. Otherwise, why did he have to go to Henan Province? Chang 'an was not lacking in food.
Brother Yi obviously felt that Henan Province was developing too slowly. He worked everywhere and stayed in Luoyang for a year to build the foundation before returning.
The people from Bohai ate hot wontons and looked at the surrounding villagers curiously from time to time.
They were curious about the train on the way. It was fast and didn't need to eat grass. It could carry a lot of things at once and arrived at their destination in no time.
When they passed by Luoyang, they saw the tall city walls and many people working at the construction site.
They arrived at the legendary Li Family Zhuangzi. They were rich and wore beautiful shoes and clothes. Their faces and hands were not dry.
They ate with porcelain bowls and spoons. If they broke one, they didn't know if they would be able to pay for it.
If they wanted to live in such a place in the future, what would they do? How would they exchange for things?
Luoyang's winter was good. There were cucumbers and eggplants.
The adults tried hard to adapt and think about the future.
The children were happy. They carefully reached out with their chopsticks to pick up cucumbers, pickles, and eggplants with garlic from the porcelain plates and drank a mouthful of the wonton bone soup.
The locomotive outside shook off the freight carriage and turned around to connect with the passenger carriage.
This required two trains to go to Haizhou at the same time to increase the capacity.
There was another train that went between Chang 'an and Luoyang. It couldn't go to Haizhou.
It turned out that during this season, land transportation was the main method from Chang 'an to Luoyang. Carriages pulled by animals, pushed by people, and carried by people.
With the introduction of trains, there were still vehicles for short distances, and the disappearance of manpower.
The train had taken on the original role of land transportation. If it was broken, it would be useless.
The cost of transportation was equivalent to the cost of livestock transportation, so the people still chose to use the train.
The commoners who walked would rather spend money than walk. If it was too far, they wouldn't do it even if there were relay stations along the way.
The profits of the train would slowly recoup. The money earned would be invested into the construction of new locomotives, carriages, and tracks.
Li Yi and his group went to the train station to look at the goods.
Tussah cocoon, pine nuts, hazelnuts, dried mushrooms, mink skin, bear skin, deerskin, tiger skin, ginseng, spurge, radix parvifolia, platycodon …
"When will the tracks be laid?" Bi Goo was interested in this.
He couldn't collect taxes on medicinal herbs, but he could collect taxes on other things.
Li Yi didn't say anything. If these things were in his place, how many times would he have died?
The Northeast was a good place. Big tigers looked scary. Very good. There were bones and a whip. The dried gallbladder was placed together with the bear's gallbladder.
He knew that with the current Bohai Kingdom's ability, they would not be able to kill all the wild animals.
The area where the locals lived was very small. Most of it was still forest.
"First, build the railway along the canal. Then, look at other places. Bohai Kingdom doesn't need it."
Li Longji didn't care about the things in front of him. He cared more about the people's livelihood. The people of the Tang dynasty needed the railway.
When the weather turned colder, a large number of marine fish would come ashore. After the innards were cleaned and sprinkled with salt, they would be loaded onto the train and transported to the capital office.
A few carriages of marine fish would be transported to Luoyang. There was no need to add salt.
Fish was meat. When they arrived at Chang 'an, the weather would be cold and the fish would be hard. They would be transported to other places. The commoners could buy them with a little money. It was cheaper than grain.
Zhang Jiuling continued, "No matter how much money we have, we can build the railway to other places along the Yangtze River.
Dangerous places can be cut off. We can build roads that other carriages and people can use. Plank roads can also be built.
It's better to transport short distances than to carry loads all the way. Who knows, we might be able to eat Guangzhou's fruits in winter. "
"Bring back the new pineapple seeds and plant them in Guangzhou and Lu Zhou. Including the local bananas, they can be transported over when the railway is built."
Li Yi added. He hadn't eaten any bananas yet. There were dried banana slices, but he didn't want to eat them.
The variety of pineapples was not good, and they couldn't be transported over. If they planted pineapples from outside, they would have them in a few years.
If they shipped them by sea, the steam engine ship would transport the pineapples and unload them in Hai Zhou. No, they would unload them in Suzhou and send them over by train.
Forget about the mangosteens. Unless they flew there or drove a yacht, no one could eat them.
"The Winged Knights of the Later Turks have called. The Later Turks have settled the hunting matter. There's no need for reinforcements from the Tang dynasty."
The little robot's light flashed as it reported the situation of the telegram.
"Hahaha!" Li Longji laughed. "It seems like they're scared of you, Brother Yi."
"What's so scary about me? I'm kind-hearted. "Li Yi pursed his lips.
"If you say we'll send troops, we'll really send troops."
Song Jing was quite helpless. He had no doubt that after the other party agreed, Li Yi began to mobilize the logistics and troops.
It had nothing to do with the price. It was to suppress the Later Turks and tell them, "If you cause trouble, I'll destroy you."
It was also to show the Khitans, Xi Tribe, Tubo, Bohai and other places.
He thought about it and said, "Those who offend the strong will be killed."
"I won't do something like hanging the heads of others as a warning." Li Yi shook his head and refused to admit it.
"Xiao Yi, do you know that when other people hear your name, they can stop children from crying at night?" Lu Huaishen said with a smile.
"It means that my medical skills are good. I can treat children who cry at night. I copied so many medical books and sent them over. "
Li Yi found an excuse. It was not enough to scare children who cried at night. It would leave a psychological shadow.
For example, "If you cry again, I'll be careless!"
It was terrifying, especially the tone and expression of the adult when he spoke.
How did it become, "If you cry again, Li Yi will be careless."
"I don't eat people. I haven't eaten candy since I was young."
Everyone chatted and laughed while looking at the goods. The medicinal herbs were carefully transported by the little girl. Some of the ginseng's whiskers fell off. Her heart ached.
"This ginseng is for slicing, not eating whole. If the whiskers are broken, so be it."
Li Yi told the little girl that he would not keep the ginseng as a treasure. If others needed it, he would take it out for them to eat.
This kind of ginseng was never eaten whole. Some people's noses would bleed after eating a five year old ginseng.
While they were talking, the train from Chang 'an arrived at the station. It stopped at the Li Family Zhuangzi.
There were freight carriages and passenger carriages.
When the door of the passenger carriage opened, the train attendants got off first. There were four of them, and they turned to help the people behind.
"Who are they? They don't seem to need anyone's help. "
Su Yi saw two older people. Their bodies were strong and healthy, and their faces were rosy.
Someone ran over to ask. He said a few words to them, bowed to the couple, a young man and a child, and ran back.
"Zai Fu, they are people from the Guan family. They are the family of the doctor who was captured by Tubo. They are back." The servant reported with a solemn expression.
"Guan Lin? Ah! I know, there is a tunnel in that room. "
Li Yi knew who the six people were, and he thought of another thing. It was very simple!
