"It's delicious. Today's dumplings are filled with beef again. Ziyi said that the people working should eat more protein.
People from Bohai have arrived one after another. Tell the coastal areas to catch fish as soon as possible.
The bigger the fish, the better. Don't eat the internal organs, bones, and fish head yourself.
Hurry up and send the fish meat over. Add a little salt and make fried fish meat for the people working. "
During breakfast, Li Yi stirred the porridge with his chopsticks. He also added some water into the porridge.
On the way back, Guo Ziyi and the others saw that the road workers were working hard and told Li Yi about it.
Li Yi sent a batch of chickens, ducks, and eggs. The price of poultry in Henan Province naturally rose by two percent.
After a few more days, the price of meat for the people in Henan Province would increase.
Li Yi couldn't suppress the rise in prices caused by the change in supply and demand.
Poultry had a cycle of rearing, so there was no shortage of fish in the coastal waters.
There were many people waiting to fish and earn money on the shore of Haizhou. They were responsible for cleaning the internal organs and bones of the fish.
The people from the big families who were willing to invest would use the cement to make a platform for processing seafood.
When the fish from the fishing boats arrived, they would buy the fish and hire the people to process it and pay them.
The work was basically fixed. The big families could cooperate with each other, but they couldn't form a monopoly.
With the Tang dynasty's Chaotian Fund, the fund's work platform was the best and set the price.
At the same time, the big families had to raise the wages of the employees a little more than the fund.
They also paid the labor benefits provided by the Chaotian Fund.
Princess Yongmu was eating wontons. She picked up a wonton and blew on it. "I heard them say that the people of Luoyang couldn't eat much meat in winter a few years ago. Now they just want to save money. "
"Saving money is good. Currently, the Tang dynasty's economic development doesn't pursue speed. It only cares about the people's livelihood. When the foundations of most areas are laid, then we'll consider using inflation to promote development. "
Li Yi put it simply. By using deficit spending, the money would circulate and be used in all aspects, and the speed of development would be faster.
If the production technology couldn't keep up, inflation would appear. This would force the production technology to transform into productivity and research new technology.
The Tang dynasty couldn't do this at the moment. If this was done, the people in other places would have no way to survive.
"En, en! Listen to Li Lang. "Princess Yongmu nodded and opened her mouth to eat the wonton. It was not so hot anymore.
"Where's Xiao Lan?" Li Yi turned his head to look. Just now, he thought Xiao Lan had gone to get food. Why hadn't she come back yet?
Princess Yongmu swallowed the wonton. "He went to Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion in the city to see if there's a pressure well in the pavilion. The well water can be used to make cold noodles. It's cool."
"Oh!" Li Yi lowered his head to eat.
He knew that Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan had guessed the meaning behind Ninth Young Master's words. Someone wanted to dig a tunnel.
Both light and dark, Ji Yizheng went to the Fragrant Sauce Pavilion. Passing by the road was Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion.
Xiao Lan had obviously brought people over to listen. She got a big vat and buried it upside down in the ground. She made a small hole in the vat to listen for any movement.
Li Yi shook his head. He quite admired this woman. She was targeting the two most untouchable women in the Tang dynasty.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
All the people from Bohai arrived in Zhuangzi. Those who arrived first told those who arrived later about the situation in Zhuangzi.
They told them to be careful when eating and not to eat too much at once.
If they couldn't finish it, they had to leave the plate for the next meal. The taste wouldn't be good.
There was a fixed place to go to the toilet. It couldn't be solved anywhere.
It was best for men to shave their hair and grow it later. For women, they had to wash their long hair several times. Even lice and scalps could be washed off.
Those who arrived later didn't have to take many detours. When eating, they often took food and soaked in the bathtub.
They were allowed to soap and rub mud in the bathtub. After washing, they had to change the water again.
The only thing they were struggling with was the soap. The villagers told them to make more soap, but they were reluctant.
Soap was a good thing in Bohai. It was worth a lot.
At night, Li Yi ate sea fish. The transportation of goods finally resumed. These days, the price of Chang 'an meat was expensive.
"Xiao Yi, can the railway be finished by the end of the year?"
Bi Goo was eating steamed yellow croaker. It was pure wild. There was a trace of worry between his brows.
In a few days, without the seafood from Bohai, the price of meat in the capital and Henan increased.
The people were already used to eating meat. It saved a lot of food to be stored and transported to other places.
Suddenly, there was no supply of sea fish. Everyone had to eat other kinds of meat.
When the second railway was finished, there could be several more trains a day. They could move the switches back and forth and stagger the trains.
Li Yi said with certainty, "Yes, I guarantee it. At that time, there will be at least eight trains a day.
After the fifteenth day of the first month, the workers will go to the canal to lay the railway.
The people along the coast will also change from building roads to laying tracks to increase their income. "
"What Lantern Festival? We'll go on the fifth. Spending so much money, isn't it just to race against time? "
Bi Goo complained that the rest of the people were resting too long. The fish was no longer delicious.
"We have to pay more. From the sixth to the tenth, we have to send people to work and double their wages."
Li Yi was thinking about tripling the wages of the people on the job during the New Year.
"Double is not a small amount. If it's double, they will be willing to work." Bi Goo refused to give too high a wage.
"The benefits given to you during the New Year are not double. Besides, this money is not under the control of the Ministry of Revenue."
Li Yi reminded the other party. During the New Year, the Li Family Zhuangzi gave them many things.
"Double is double. It's only ten days anyway. The train will be opened ten days earlier. The economic growth of the ten days is worth the extra money. "
Bi Goo was afraid that the benefits would be reduced. After thinking about it, the train made money quickly.
Just by transporting fish every day, the money they earned was huge.
Anyway, the technology to make steel did not cost money. The manufacturing technology of the train did not cost money. Yes, anything that involved technology could save money.
As he thought about it, Bi Goo found Li Yi more pleasing to the eye than the steamed wild yellow croaker. "Xiao Yi, what good things have you come up with recently?"
"Eating accelerator." Li Yi saw that Bi Goo was not eating and insisted on talking to him, so he gave the answer.
"How do you speed it up?" Bi Goo felt that something was wrong.
"Put a tube in your mouth, crush the big yellow croaker, and pour it in," Li Yi told Bi Goo.
"How dare you make fun of me. I am the Chancellor's assistant. I will punish you for your disrespect." Bi Goo was angry.
"I am now a Rank One, the Chief Instructor of the Tang dynasty." Li Yi became a Rank One again.
"You said I am a duck? I will go and find Her Majesty. "
Bi Goo looked at Li Longji who was eating not far away. You are not going to scold him?
"It's really force-feeding. Ducks eat slowly by themselves, so you can use artificial feeding methods.
The same goes for geese. It is not good for the ducks and geese, but they grow faster.
It consumes more food, but they can quickly grow enough weight. "
Li Yi talked about the force-feeding technique. The speed of getting ducks was many times faster.
It consumed more food. Looking at the meat cycle and the price of the meat, one would know whether it was worth it or not.
