"Uh! Goose ~ "In Daming Palace's Taiyi Pond, Shang 'er was sitting on a boat in his mother's arms. He pointed at another goose boat and spoke.
He really pronounced the word 'goose' accurately. Empress Wang was so happy that she kissed her son a few times.
On the other goose boat were Yao Chong, Bi Goo, and Wei Zhigu.
Zhang Shuo was the youngest, so he sat on the low table in the middle of the boat and watched the others play. His posture was very awkward.
On the second day after the results were announced, Li Longji returned with two goose boats. They were all the boats in Zhuangzi, except for the medium-sized boats.
The children in Zhuangzi wanted to play, but Li Longji took them.
After the morning court meeting, Li Longji invited the five people who had a 'good' relationship with Li Yi to play.
Actually, he also had to come to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs to remind him of the daily necessities, but he would be busy after the imperial examinations.
Bi Goo realized that he didn't feel tired when pedaling. "To think that it's such a boat. Xiao Yi has indeed put her thoughts in the right place."
"The Ministry of Works will be responsible for the water network, and the Ministry of Revenue will pay." Wei Zhigu was concerned about the Ministry of Revenue's money.
"I'll go find King Song and deal with the Workers Alliance directly." Bi Goo didn't want to give the Ministry of Works money, fearing that someone would embezzle it.
"The Workers Alliance must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. King Song can't bypass the Ministry of Works." Wei Zhigu didn't give in.
"Your Ministry of Works will negotiate with the Workers Alliance first, then the Ministry of Revenue will pay." Bi Goo made a request.
"Why should the Ministry of Works go through the Workers Alliance?" Wei Zhigu didn't agree.
"Bid. Your Ministry of Works will bid," Bi Goo said with a chuckle.
Wei Zhigu sighed. No one else had the right to bid, so the Workers Alliance was the best choice.
Yao Chong, who had been pedaling to experience the goose boats, relaxed his frown. "With the boats, the transportation of goods on the main rivers will be more than three times more convenient."
"It's even ten times more convenient." Lu Huaishen controlled the boat.
He looked at the other goose boat. "Other boats in the Yellow River and Yangtze River can only rely on boaters. How many boaters are there?"
"Which one of you is tired? Let me help you step on the ground." Zhang Shuo sat there cross-legged and asked. No one responded to him.
He used his hand to touch the roof of the goose boat. "In the future, there will be more boats like this in the capital. Even if it's a village over a hundred miles away, a slightly larger boat will be much better than a carriage."
What he thought of was that cows and horses ate grass. Once the grass grew, the Li Family Zhuangzi would probably charge an extra rental fee.
The wheel of the cart was broken in the middle of the road and the driver needed to fix it.
In the village more than a hundred miles away, they had to rest on the road at night.
The ship was bigger and could transport more goods. Several people could take turns to step on it. At night, they could eat and sleep on the ship.
People who used to travel long distances with the current boats could travel ten li in two hours even if they were going against the current.
Moreover, once the water net was built, the water flow would not be rapid.
A larger boat could carry eight people, and two people would take turns. It would take them one day and one night to reach Chang 'an.
How long would it take for a person to travel a hundred miles?
People couldn't possibly take turns behind someone else's back, right? Did they still want the goods?
Stepping on the ground was different from walking. Sitting there, they could borrow strength.
There was also a handrail at the side. Grabbing the handrail and stepping on it saved a lot of energy.
They could even lean back and step on it while lying down.
The weight of the feet was not the weight of the whole body or the goods, but only the resistance of the water from the wheels.
Zhang Shuo thought and laughed, "Aiya, Li Yi, oh Li Yi, how did he figure it out?"
"This is simple. It's the same as a waterwheel. Don't waterwheels also have pedals when they water the fields?" Wei Zhigu explained the principle.
"Old Wei, don't lie to your heart? Why didn't you think of it? Waterwheels have been used for many years. "
Zhang Shuo looked down on him. He only thought it was simple after seeing others do it.
According to this, drilling the well was simple. Once the structure was completed, one could understand it after taking a look.
There was also the earthworm used for shelling. Anyone who saw it would know. Before they saw it, they wouldn't know.
Wei Zhigu pedaled a few more times, indicating that he wanted to switch places with Zhang Shuo.
He ran to the middle and sat cross-legged to watch, just in time to see the little guy next to him.
The little baby looked at him. "Goose, goose."
The little guy's two arms were each covered with a pig's bubble bracelet.
Even if it fell into the water, the life buoy on the arm would float vertically with its head above the water.
It wasn't a life buoy that accidentally got its head below.
Wei Zhigu waved to the little guy. "In the future, the people on the boat will wear life-saving equipment. Li Yi guarantees that it will be so."
"The shed will be removed. There's a shed. The wind is strong, so it won't move." Yao Chong looked up at the shed of the goose boat.
Everyone had a look. The little guy fell asleep. Li Longji's goose boat docked, and the prime ministers followed.
When they reached the shore, a group of people surrounded them. They were all Taohong and the others. There were three classes in total, twenty-four people.
The little baby was placed in the cart, and they continued to push around.
No accidents were allowed, and no one was allowed to get close.
"Yuanzhi, the capital government's mediocrity should be canceled." Li Longji walked slowly and said to Yao Chong.
Although the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of collecting rent, important matters still had to go through Ziwei Province.
"This official knows. Plant cotton." Yao Chong accepted the order.
Planting cotton was to provide warm clothes for the soldiers in the northwest and to bandage their wounds.
In addition, cotton was the most suitable material for making gunpowder. Cotton was a strategic material.
After collecting taxes, the imperial court wouldn't lack money. The capital government's mediocrity didn't matter.
In the future, the entire Tang dynasty would collect taxes, and the people of the Tang dynasty wouldn't need mediocrity.
"Bi Goo …" Li Longji looked at Bi Goo.
"This official will start organizing people to build roads, houses, rivers and canals, and set up a water network today." Bi Goo didn't need Li Longji to say more.
"Daoji, make the arrangements. The Ministry of Revenue will build a trade hall in Xuanyang Lane. Take out the things hidden in the right treasury and auction them. Tell others where they are from."
Li Longji instructed Zhang Shuo.
"This official obeys." Zhang Shuo had nothing to say. He thought of Li Longji's purpose, which was to help the local people sell things.
Li Longji wasn't in a hurry to review the memorials. He took the empress and his son to Baifu Hall and told Imperial Father and Noble Consort Lu about it.
The three prime ministers and the two ministers looked at each other and found that they were old.
Now, the matters in the imperial court had always been pushed by Li Yi.
When other people came up with a plan, they would be constrained. When Li Yi came up with a plan, everything was arranged.
He helped you make money and help you spend money. When the money was in your hands, you didn't have to think about how to use it.
"I feel that something big is going to happen, but I can't figure out where." Yao Chong's sixth sense came again.
"It doesn't matter. You'll get used to it." Lu Huaishen didn't think about what Li Yi was going to do.
"Have you found any good seedlings in the Si Agriculture Temple? We're waiting for them to increase the production of the fields. "
Wei Zhigu remembered that there was still a problem with the hybrid crops.
"There should be. More than ten thousand magnifying glasses have been distributed to them. They organized the manpower, and His Majesty paid for it."
Zhang Shuo was also looking forward to it. Increasing the production of crops was an urgent matter.
The Si Agriculture Temple fenced off a lot of land and planted all kinds of things. As long as there was one that could increase the production, the Tang dynasty would plant it like crazy.
Rice, wheat, sorghum, millet, soybeans, any one of them could suddenly increase the production by more than two times. It would be best if it increased by three times or five times.
"Someone go and tell him that the Ministry of Works can borrow the nearly twelve thousand captives." Wei Zhigu looked at the others.
Everyone quickened their pace. They were all busy.
