"If the surrendered households are settled here, the Dawu Army can be connected to the capital office."
Lu Huaishen showed his talent as a Prime Minister. What he saw was even more impressive than what Bi Goo saw.
The Dawu Army was located in the border area. The winter was bitter and cold. The imperial court could only give them normal military supplies, and the generals had to take away more.
With a new place, the army there had to rush back to prevent the Yellow River from freezing in winter and the surrendered households from escaping.
It seemed that the Non-commissioned Officer there had a hard time, but don't forget that Li Yi was supporting the logistics of the surrendered households.
How could he watch the Non-commissioned Officer on the other side make a wasted trip? Just to patrol?
He would take advantage of the frozen Yellow River to transport supplies to the other side. It just so happened that the road to Chang 'an was going to be opened.
Lu Huaishen dared to guarantee with his head that once the surrendered households arrived, the Dawu Army would get the Li Family Zhuangzi's things.
When the transport team, the Winged Knights, and the sixteen guards rotated, they would bring them over.
Even a canned meat, a canned fruit, or a leather hat were good things for the Non-commissioned Officer of the Dawu Army.
"I'm not as good as you." Yao Chong naturally saw that Li Yi was starting to play a complete set.
It seemed that Li Yi was staying in Zhuangzi, but in fact, his reach was very far. Wherever there was a problem, he would be there.
Zhang Shuo nodded, "Strategizing. Now Li Yi only needs to make money."
As he spoke, he looked at Bi Goo.
Bi Goo was speechless.
He wanted to change positions with Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo would be the Minister of Revenue, and he would be the Prime Minister. Eh? That's fine. Who wouldn't want to be the Prime Minister?
"I'll go to the Li Family Zhuangzi tonight." Bi Goo muttered to Li Longji.
"I've seen something good …" Li Longji said.
"It's tax-free. The Ministry of Revenue doesn't need the Li Family Zhuangzi to provide money for the time being." Bi Goo understood that if he saw something, he shouldn't think about it.
The four of them left Xing Qing Hall and went back to make arrangements for the relocation.
Bi Goo went to the Li Family Zhuangzi at night. Even though he was sitting in the car on the way, he was still sweaty and stuffy.
"Old Bi is here? Let's drink a bowl of cold noodle soup first and eat the skewers together. "Li Yi called out to Bi Goo.
Now that Bi Goo entered Zhuangzi, he did not have to wait for inspection at the Ba River Bridge. In any case, he was a minister.
Bi Goo did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the cold noodle soup and drank two mouthfuls before finding a seat to sit down.
The palace maids and eunuchs moved aside to bring him a basin, soap, and towels to wash his hands.
"Today, the governor of Bing Province, Wang Qi, has submitted a report. He has given us three strategies. We have decided to exempt you from paying taxes in Zhuangzi."
Bi Goo said something that most people wouldn't understand as he stared at the skewers.
He usually couldn't eat skewers, especially skewers with all kinds of seasonings. He didn't have chili noodles.
"Old Bi, the Tang dynasty had a lot of iron and cement. The original bamboo pontoon bridge at the Yellow River should be changed to iron chains. Let's call it Pujin Bridge."
Li Yi didn't say anything about the relocation. Everyone understood.
He wanted to change the bridge. In history, there was an iron chain pontoon bridge and Pujin Bridge.
It happened to be near that location. Now it was made of bamboo, so it was not easy to use.
In history, it was made in Li Longji's era, not now. A lot of iron was used.
"How to change it?" Bi Goo thought about the crossing of the two sides. It was okay in winter, but it was too tiring to make a bamboo bridge and ferry in summer.
"First, use concrete to make the pier. Arrange the position and structure of the thick iron rod. Use the iron chain to extend it. Lay a board and put the boat below.
Make it into a pontoon bridge. In winter, there is no need to put the boat. Take advantage of the ice and pull the iron chain over. Do you know how to transport the iron chain? "
Li Yi was afraid that Bi Goo didn't understand, so he deliberately asked.
"First, use hemp rope. Gradually thicken the rope, then pull the iron chain. The pier on both sides must be built first. Otherwise, it won't hang."
Bi Goo didn't look Li Yi in the eye, meaning that he was an idiot.
"That's right." Li Yi praised. Old Bi was smart.
Bi Goo drank a mouthful of iced yellow wine and picked up a skewer of unknown meat. "Then, when there is more iron, we will replace the concrete on the shore. Is that right?"
"Of course not. Wherever we go, I have a new bridge building technique. We will build the pier in the Yellow River, so we need a large barge.
When the Yellow River's current is not rapid, we will use the barge as a springboard and build reinforced concrete pillars to smash into the river.
After smashing in, we will build one pier after another to block the water. Then, we will increase the bottom of the pier and use concrete.
When the pier is finished, we will directly build the bridge on top. The process is very complicated, and a lot of iron is used.
The good thing is that after the bridge is built, it will be no different from running a horse carriage from the top. To put it bluntly, we need to make up for the lack of technology with money. "
Li Yi wanted to build the Yellow River Bridge next to Pujin Bridge. Building the pier was very high-end for the current technology.
It required a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. He could solve the problem of technology.
He couldn't do it during the high water period or the dry water period. He could do it during the dry water period downstream, but the downstream was really dry and there was no water.
"Wooden pile bridges are also built this way." Bi Goo thought for a while. He had an impression of it. It was supported by wood.
The bottom of the round wood was sharpened, soaked in tung oil, dried, and then thrown into the river.
"One is the principle. The other is that we can't learn now. We need a pump and force it down."
Li Yi gave Bi Goo half a grilled eggplant and put a lot of garlic paste.
"Xiao Yi, you also know about these things?" Bi Goo realized that he couldn't understand Li Yi.
"I know a little. I'm sorry." Li Yi was modest.
Bi Goo: "…"
"Before I came, Her Majesty warned me not to ask you for money." Bi Goo tasted the eggplant and said.
"It's like raising. If you ask me for money now, I won't give it to you. In another two years … you might not be the Minister of Revenue. By then, you'll have more money. "
Li Yi was honest. He would give money when he should, but not when he shouldn't.
He just didn't expect Bi Goo to be willing to exempt him from all taxes. He knew from historical data that Bi Goo was a little rigid. He was slightly worse than Song Jing.
Yao Chong, Song Jing, Bi Goo, Zhang Shuo, and Lu Huaishen were actually the people who supported the Kaiyuan Age.
"Then what new products do you have? If it's profitable, the Ministry of Revenue will help you sell it and make a profit. Otherwise, it's the same for merchants."
Bi Gou immediately changed the topic without changing it at all.
"Yes." Li Yi was as easy to talk to as usual. He answered all the questions.
"What kind of business?" Bi Goo was embarrassed. He really did have something.
"For bathing. It's very simple. A bucket and a shower. Make it yourself. It takes time and money. It's mass produced and the cost is very low."
Li Yi gave him something. He wanted to use bamboo to make a bucket and then connect it to the shower. The place where the hose should be replaced by a leather tube.
One could sell for 20 yuan. If the commoners made it themselves and couldn't make one in three days, how much would they lose in a day?
"Is it easy to sell?" Bi Goo thought it was something valuable. In the end, it wasn't.
"Are the noodles easy to sell? It's hot now. It's going to last for more than a month. I'll give you 18 yuan for one. "Li Yi gave him a profit of 2 yuan.
"No, Xiao Yi, you must have something that can make a lot of money. Otherwise, you won't be able to support nearly 30,000 surrendered households."
Bi Goo felt that if he sold it wholesale, Li Yi would make less money. He was unhappy.
Li Yi could also sell this kind of thing. He would mention it in the newspaper. There was no need to worry about the sales.
"Yes, there's a shutter! I'll advertise it in the newspaper. I'm currently making the model. It's very tiring. There must be a 3D picture in the newspaper for everyone to see. "
Li Yi didn't plan to bring Bi Goo into this business. He could do it himself.
