After Li Yi finished making the braised meat, Yao Chong watched the kitchen staff clean up the meat grinder.
This was the first time he knew that the meat fillings could be made so quickly.
Obviously, the more meat fillings were made, the less time it would take to use this equipment.
It was much faster to grind wheat flour than to grind it slowly. It would be too tiring to grind it slowly.
When the noodles were ready, Bi Goo went to get the noodles and came back to pick two of his favorite dishes.
"I think that thing used a lot of iron. It would be better if there was no war."
Bi Goo thought of Li Yi's expression just now.
The Tang dynasty was short of iron and used it to make weapons. Many people did not even have an iron pot in their house. They cooked in pottery jars.
Vegetables were also cooked in the jars and pickled vegetables were eaten.
Days passed like this. He heard that some people had to borrow knives from other people to clean up their meat. They usually used stone knives or pottery shards to cut vegetables.
Li Yi was silent. He hesitated to tell the location of some iron mines.
He could not tell them about the mines that were not in the Tang dynasty's territory. The Tang dynasty could dig in the areas controlled by the Tang dynasty. There were open-pit mines.
He did not care if it was a rich or poor mine. He would dig it out and make it into iron first.
He could not tell them about the iron mines in Anshan and Benxi. If he told them, he would be helping the enemy.
He could not tell them about the Qian 'an iron mine in the northeast of Hebei Province.
Baiyun's Ebo iron mine was good. Unfortunately, it was occupied by the Tujue.
Sichuan's Panzhihua iron mine was in the hands of the southwest barbarians.
Even if they could conquer it, Tubo would definitely join forces with the southwest barbarians to attack. Who did not want iron mines?
There were iron mines in Hainan. It was too far away.
"There is a big iron mine in the west of Piao Mountain above Dangtu County." Li Yi threw out an iron mine.
There were not many people on Mount Maanshan. It was a mountain during the Tang dynasty. There was not even a village there.
"Really?" Bi Goo asked naturally.
"No." Li Yi lowered his head and ate.
"Is it easy to dig? How much iron is there? "Bi Goo was no longer suspicious. He was from the Ministry of Revenue and was in charge of the mining industry.
"Now, the total number of mines discovered in the Tang dynasty is not as many as that place. There are many places where we can find them. It's very easy to find them."
Li Yi smiled. This was one of the seven major iron mines. Needless to say, the reserves of this mine were extremely high. Back then, the Japanese had been fighting for it with all their might.
He ate slowly. Bi Goo could not eat anymore. His head was full of iron ores.
He ate two mouthfuls of noodles and raised his head to stare at Li Yi, as if he wanted to see something on Li Yi's head.
It was indeed a treasure. No wonder His Majesty sent people to protect it and forbade anyone from saying anything that shouldn't be said.
Yao Chong and the rest were right. They knew everything they asked. Today, he was just lamenting about Young Master Tie and how hard it was for the common people. Now, he had thrown out a huge iron mine?
After a few mouthfuls, Bi Goo finished the bowl of noodles and did not touch the dishes.
"Xiao Yi, I'll go back first. I'm busy over there." Bi Goo did not want to stay for a moment longer. He did not know what the noodles tasted like.
"Old Bi, there's another mine nearby. It's in Guowei County. The output of this mine is a little low, but the iron ore is high. It's about 60% iron.
I have to draw a map for you. Otherwise, you won't be able to find it. It's said that it's in Guowei County. It's still some distance away.
Wait a minute. You can go back and dig now? Don't you have to report it? Such a good mine. I should keep it for myself. "
Li Yi shouted at Bi Goo. Why are you running? This is a meal.
If he had known earlier, he would have waited until he finished eating.
"More than 60%?" Bi Goo sat back: "I'll accompany you to eat a few more mouthfuls of food. I'm not in a hurry. You can eat slowly. There's no hurry at all."
"I'll draw it for you now. I'll draw it for you from both places." Li Yi was convinced. If you're not in a hurry, why are you rubbing your hands?
When he mentioned drawing, Ge Yan, who was eating beside him, opened his box and took out a piece of paper, a ruler, and a pencil.
A table was vacated, and Li Yi started to calculate the location of the two places on the map. Then, he marked the names of the places on the map.
Bi Goo stood up and bent down to take a look.
"Xiao Yi, when we find the iron mine, if you want iron in Zhuangzi, tell me and I'll sell it to you." Bi Goo thought of Li Yi's words and promised.
"Sell? I'm not drawing anymore. I'll dig it myself and sell it to you at a cheap price. "Li Yi said, but his hands did not stop.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. How much iron can a Zhuangzi use? Besides, you're using iron to make new things. It's not like you can eat it. "
Bi Goo changed his words. He was planning to ask Li Yi for an iron mine after he finished digging.
He did not know how much iron was stored in the Ma 'anshan mine. With the mining skills of the Tang Dynasty …
"Done." After a while, Li Yi put down his pen.
"Good, good, good." Bi Goo grabbed the paper with the two places drawn on it and rolled it into a cylinder.
"Xiao Yi, I'm in a hurry. I'm leaving." He shouted and walked quickly.
Li Yi watched the old man rush out and shook his head: "Actually, there's another place in Hubei. It's also very big. That's where all the exiled officials went.
I don't understand. What's wrong with that place? Why did the exiled officials have to go there? And the Song Dynasty also sent them there. "
After muttering, he sat back down and continued to eat.
Bi Goo jogged all the way to the car: "Hurry, back to the palace. The Tang dynasty has iron. I don't have to worry anymore."
When crossing the bridge, his main urge was for others to move out of the way.
The bridgehead had become a market. There were more than five thousand migrant workers, including the people from the Zhang Clan's village.
There were also many people who came to buy and sell things with the Li Family Zhuangzi. They needed to eat and rest, and see what they could use in their daily lives.
Thus, the bridgehead gradually became a bustling place.
The Thousand Bull Guards were training nearby. None of the city tyrants dared to appear.
If someone on a passing ship wanted to eat, they would also run over to deliver food.
When Bi Goo arrived, he saw these people and thought it was good.
But now, he was annoyed and blocked the road.
The car rushed out and sped up. Bi Goo ignored the bumpy road.
He entered through Chunming Gate, turned north at Vermillion Bird Avenue, and went straight to the Imperial City.
"Don't stop. Go straight to Xingqing Palace." Bi Goo shouted. In the palace, such a sports car … was fine.
In case of an emergency, or if one's legs were weak, one was allowed to take the car, provided that one's rank was high enough.
When they arrived at Xingqing Palace, Bi Goo continued to run: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have good news."
Bi Goo came to the door with the shouting.
Someone quickly came out of the yellow door and helped him in.
Li Longji was reviewing memorials. When he saw Bi Goo come in, he smiled and asked: "Minister Bi Goo, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Iron ore. Two iron ore. One is very big, and the other is more than 60% iron ore."
Bi Goo stepped forward and unfolded the paper tube he was holding.
"Your Majesty, look at these two places. This one is bigger, and this one is closer. If you send people there today, you can find the ore tomorrow."
"You went to ask Li Yi about the ore?" Li Longji knew what was going on when he saw the picture.
"I … I want to find an idea for the Ministry of Revenue to collect taxes immediately. Yes, make noodles and sell them. I haven't asked how to do it yet."
Bi Goo was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he realized that he had forgotten to take the method of making noodles.
"Send someone to ask tomorrow. This iron ore … Brother Yi probably paid a huge price to calculate it.
If you have anything in the future, tell me first. Don't go personally. Brother Yi is soft-hearted. He will tell you after asking. "
Li Longji thought that this was also exchanged with his lifespan, and his heart ached.
