"They're not hunters. I don't know any of them, and they don't look like hunters either."
Hu Feng also raised his binoculars. He was familiar with all the hunters from the capital and other nearby provinces.
He could even tell who was behind the traps just by looking at them.
He didn't know the people he saw through the binoculars. Their actions didn't match their identities as hunters.
"One, two … I can see more than fifty people. They don't have hunting dogs. They have bows and crossbows in their hands. They don't wear the uniforms of the Tang dynasty, but they look like soldiers."
Hu Feng began to analyze with a serious expression.
"Master, should we go over?" A disciple beside him asked softly.
"Go back. We'll keep an eye on them." Hu Feng shook his head. He didn't want to get involved.
The twelve disciples looked at each other. The weakest one nodded. "I'll take Xiaoguang with me."
After that, he took the binoculars from his junior brother and passed it to the others. He dragged his junior brother and left the dog behind.
Li Family Zhuangzi.
"Dongzhu, Yujiang, who gave you the amber, said that he has doubts and wants to see you." The second steward, Xun Xin, ran over to Li Yi.
"It's good that he has doubts. I like to solve people's doubts. Arrange for him to be in the house. "Li Yi seemed to be in a good mood.
Yujiang hadn't come to look for him since he gave him the amber. Hu Feng thought that he would wait until the new year.
He didn't expect that he couldn't take it anymore.
Yujiang was first arranged to take a bath and change his clothes. After making sure that he didn't have any weapons on him, he was brought to the living room.
There wasn't such a long table this time. The Winged Knights stood beside the two of them to protect them.
"Brother Yu, are you used to living here?" Li Yi asked someone to serve tea and snacks.
"It's a good place. Chang 'an is indeed a prosperous place. Li Family Zhuangzi is better than the other places I've been to. I've learned a lot from it."
Yujiang praised Li Family Zhuangzi first. He wanted to praise it as a paradise.
"However, I have many doubts. There are obviously many things in Shu, but why can't the people in Chang 'an compare?"
Yujiang changed the topic. He said that the people in Shu were worse off than the people in Chang 'an.
"Transportation isn't convenient enough. There's only one waterway in the Yangtze River. It's fine when it's flowing downstream, but once it's flowing upstream, it'll require a tracker …"
Li Yi was very patient as he explained some of the problems in the Shu Lands to Yu Jiang.
The main reason was that there were many mountains and land roads were difficult to travel, while water transportation was not convenient enough.
"In addition, there are many mountains in Xuanzhou of the Tang dynasty. The lives of the local people are not as good as those in Chang 'an and even worse than those in Shu.
The local paper was not bad. The mountains were high and steep. Further up, Henan Province was very good. There were plains, which were good for planting.
It was the same for Hebei Province. The northern region of Hebei Province was now … occupied by the Khitans. If it was properly developed, it wouldn't be any worse than Jiangnan.
In the northern part of Hebei Province, there were many mountains, but they were close to the sea and were rich in natural resources.
Especially since it's easy to breed tussah silkworms. Compared to mulberry silkworms, tussah silkworms can not only spin silk, but their cocoons are also not as poisonous … "
Li Yi rambled on. As he spoke, the topic changed from Sichuan to Anhui.
Similarly, he talked about the mountains from Anhui to Henan, Henan to Hebei, Hebei to Northeast.
There were many mountains in Northeast as well. Tangshan and Dalian had many mountains.
The mountains in Dalian were not worse than those in Chongqing. Many buildings were built on the mountains and went all the way down.
Like Ganjingzi District, they could climb the mountains there.
Yu Jiang was attracted by Li Yi's words. So the northern part of Hebei Province could breed a large number of tussah silkworms?
So the rice that was grown from the land was good? At the same time, it could also grow wheat.
Also, soybeans could be grown at the riverside. There was no need to worry about soybeans, and the land was fertile.
Continuing to the Northeast, there were many wild animals in the mountains, such as black soil, beaten roe deer, and scooped fish.
Also, the Northeast was called a cold-water region. The fish grew slowly, but they were delicious.
"The main problem in the northern part of Hebei Province of the Tang dynasty was that the planning was not good. If I were a Khitan … Just now, I mentioned Shu Lands. Shu Lands could also be planned.
The roads that were used now were the roads built by the previous dynasties, such as Ziwu Road, Taurus Road, Lianyun Road, Qishan Road, and Lizhi Road.
This included the Chencang Road that was built on the surface, the Chencang Road that was built on the surface, the Chencang Road that was built on the surface, and the Baoxie Road that was built on the cliffs.
We needed to pass through the Yiluo Road of the Luo River, the Micang Road of the Micang Mountain, and the Wuguan Road of the Qin and Chu Wars.
These roads could be built properly and advanced with money. Then, it would be much easier to go from Shu Lands to other places, especially through the Western Turkic Khaganate … "
Li Yi then changed the topic back to the Shu Lands. He named a series of roads.
Yu Jiang's thoughts were not on Shu Lands at all. He had been thinking about the development of the northeastern part of Hebei Province.
Li Yi took a sip of tea. "As a Shu person, Brother Yu must be very anxious. How can the roads be built in Shu Lands, right?"
"Ah? Ah, right. How can we grow soybeans and make the black soil provide enough food? "Yu Jiang said.
Then, he realized that Li Yi was not talking about Shu Lands.
He smiled embarrassedly. "I was distracted. I have never been to the northern part of Hebei Province and was curious about it. Li Dongzhu, you are talking about Shu Lands. "
"Building roads requires manpower and money. In the end, it is a matter of money. There are so many roads, and it is best to promote commerce.
When commerce is established, taxes will be collected. The imperial court collects taxes to build roads, and the merchants earn money to pay taxes.
The various counties in Shu Lands can use the existing local resources and introduce suitable resources to create an ecological environment with local characteristics of agricultural products and high added value of handicrafts.
Drive the local people to find a new way out, with economic development as the center. At the same time, pay close attention to law and order, maintain stability, and integrate the local culture into the products.
Use preferential policies to attract more merchants to develop and invest, and take good measures to protect the commercial environment … "
Li Yi started talking again. Every word was very useful.
Yu Jiang: "…"
He found a serious problem. He did not understand. What was Li Yi talking about?
"In fact, compared to Shu Lands, the northern part of Hebei Province is easier to develop.
It is just that the local Khitans are not focused on development. They only want to fight and are stupid.
If I was there, I would not fight. My foundation is not stable. Fighting the Tang dynasty, so many people died. There is nothing to gain.
Take a look, I will get you a map … "
Li Yi left for a while and went into the study. He soon came back with a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand.
He drew this map according to the map of his time, the Tang dynasty, the Song dynasty, and other dynasties.
It was Shandong, Tianjin, Hebei, Beijing, Liaoning, and the northeast. He did not draw it because it was too tiring.
He took some time to draw it after meeting Yu Jiang. The scale was not very accurate, and some mountains and valleys were not shown.
The map was placed on the table and slowly unfolded.
Yu Jiang looked at the map and his breathing quickened. The names of the places were marked, and there were also important rivers.
There were also official roads now, and the distance was also marked.
"What are these circles?" He asked the contour lines.
"It shows the height. Brother Yu, look at this circle. To the next circle, it is four hundred meters, which is more than one hundred and thirty feet. As for the next circle, by comparison, this place is a river valley …"
Li Yi explained how to look at the map.
