As a general, Hao Lingquan naturally knew what was going on in the army. He didn't care about the mobilization of the army.
There were some who said that Prime Minister Bi wanted Li Yi to fork out money to support the merger. Li Yi refused, saying that the Ministry of Revenue collected too much tax.
Are you two sure you are talking about the army of the Tang dynasty? Can military matters be handled like this?
"You pay for their meals, and the Ministry of Revenue will buy Zhuangzi's tent." Bi Goo changed his condition.
"What meals? Do I have to send someone to cook for them when they go to Tubo in the future? Let them cook for themselves. "
Li Yi's attitude was firm. Soldiers must learn how to survive.
"You prepare some medicinal herbs for Zhuangzi when they are injured during training. Anyway, your medicinal herbs are free." Bi Goo changed his condition again.
"Old Bi, why do you keep staring at me? I'm just a civil official. It's not easy to survive in front of Zhuangzi."
Li Yi didn't say whether he agreed or not, which meant that he agreed.
Zhuangzi's medicinal herbs were indeed free. They were exchanged with medical books.
"I spoke up for you today. I didn't hesitate to offend Guangping." Bi Goo mentioned his contribution.
"So, Old Song still opposes?" Li Yi caught the hint in Bi Goo's words.
"Guangping can't take care of military matters." Bi Goo provided another piece of information.
"He wants to be the Minister of War? He's still the Minister of Justice now. "Li Yi was a little confused.
According to history, Song Jing should be the Minister of Appointments. However, Cui Riyong wasn't punished and was still doing well.
Song Jing's power was still small. The Ministry of Justice was only a ministry. It didn't care about many things. Senior officials couldn't do anything.
Hao Lingquan lowered his head and ate obediently, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
He was scared. God, a Prime Minister and a civil official were talking about another Prime Minister.
"I think he wants you to be an official." Bi Goo took a sip of the wine and frowned.
"It's not up to him to decide whether I'm an official or not. Does that mean that I've seized his power? I'll give him a set of wine cups worth one coin when I get back. "
Li Yi didn't care at all and still wanted to give him something.
"He will run to Zhuangzi and fight you to the death, hehe!" Bi Goo laughed. Li Yi meant to say that Song Jing was a petty person.
"The people who came to Mount Taibai were recruited soldiers. His Majesty recruited thirty thousand people. Hurry them up and don't wait until the weather warms up.
Zhuangzi has already prepared the tents and other things. I'll give you the capital and give you ten extra hot air balloons. "
Li Yi was anxious. It was the best time to climb a mountain when the weather was cold. Tubo was cold and windy.
"Which cost? The labor cost of your village?" Bi Goo now had some understanding of the cost.
The labor cost of the Li Family Zhuangzi was higher than other places, so he had to ask clearly.
Otherwise, the labor cost was actually profit. Li Yi couldn't give the village a piece-by-piece fee.
Li Yi picked up a green onion and soaked it in soy sauce. "Zhuangzi doesn't have time to make tents. The Workers' Alliance and the Yi Alliance are working together.
The Yi Alliance is in charge of the canvas and the Workers' Alliance is in charge of the frames. I'll give you the hot air balloons. "
"I'm not the Minister of War. Don't talk about giving me a gift. Besides, are you going to sell the hot air balloons?
I remember now. The hot air balloons' balls and baskets are made by the Ministry of Works. You just have to provide one thing. "
Bi Goo didn't admit that the hot air balloons were given by Li Yi.
"Can you blow the hot air balloons into the sky? I also provide gasoline. Giving a balloon is giving gasoline. "Li Yi emphasized the fuel.
Bi Goo also picked up a green onion and threw it into his mouth. "You use oil to make gasoline. Did you spend money on oil?"
"I give you oil and you make gasoline. Isn't the cost of the technology a part of the cost?" Li Yi retorted.
"I've learned another thing. Not bad." Bi Goo noted down the cost of technology.
"The road from Chang 'an to Shu Di needs to be repaired. The money I gave you is gone. The Ministry of Revenue can find the cement factory in Lantian County and transport the cement to a warm place. Hurry up."
Li Yi changed the topic to the road repair. With the money he gave, the road was repaired well. Because it was far away and the roads were narrow, they could be widened with cement.
Bi Goo ate another green onion. "Find Zhigu. He's the Minister of Works. I only care about money."
"You're the Prime Minister." Li Yi mentioned Bi Goo's other identity.
"Find Guangping. His words are more effective." Bi Goo pushed again.
"You don't want to be the Prime Minister anymore?" Li Yi asked softly.
"Who said so? Xiao Yi, you can't play any tricks. I don't want to join the League of Ministers for the time being. "Bi Goo was shocked.
"There's a lot of vegetables in the greenhouses this year. Apart from the capital, the surrounding prefectures and even Luo Yang can be sent. The cucumbers can be kept for several days."
Li Yi changed the topic and talked about the greenhouses.
The capital government had made money from the greenhouses last year. This year, there were more people planting the vegetables.
Those who had less money would find people to work with to raise the money to build the greenhouses. In one winter, they would earn back their capital.
The price of the greenhouses in the capital government's greenhouses was five times that of the summer and autumn season. It was cheaper than last year.
There were merchants who collected the vegetables and transported them to other places. They could sell the vegetables for ten times the price and profit from it.
The Ministry of Revenue kept a close watch. When merchants collected vegetables, they would first collect taxes from the people who planted the greenhouses before collecting taxes from the merchants.
As long as they bought a large amount, they would collect taxes. The merchants would say that they couldn't eat the vegetables themselves. Unless they were running a hotel, they would collect taxes from the hotel.
When Li Yi mentioned the greenhouses, the smile on Bi Goo's face increased. "Yes, repair the road. Good roads can transport goods faster and have a lot of taxes."
"Old Bi, I heard that you ate a lot of meat sauce when you treated people to a meal. I'll bring you a jar." Li Yi glanced at the eunuchs.
Zi Yu ran away and shouted, "Let's prepare something else for Bi Zaifu."
"You want to drive me away? Lingquan, don't live in the Dao Zheng Square anymore. Find another place." Bi Goo muttered and said to Hao Lingquan.
"Li Dongzhu, send someone to help me move things. I'm living in the Li Family Zhuangzi."
Hao Lingquan, who had heard a lot of things that she shouldn't have heard today, respectfully responded to Bi Goo.
Bi Goo glanced at Li Yi. "It's good to live in Zhuangzi. After I arrange a place for you, you'll probably take office after the New Year.
This year, we need to see the situation of the new leader of the Turks and the news of Tubo and adjust according to their changes. "
"Yes!" Hao Lingquan sat upright. She didn't have to worry about the arrangement of seats now.
She had discovered that Li Yi had a great influence on the court.
There was an uncertain feeling that she didn't dare to say, and that was that Li Yi could decide the candidate for the Prime Minister.
What was going on? Was she too surprised today and began to let her imagination run wild?
It didn't take long for Zi Yu to return with a big basket on the cart.
Bi Goo's followers cooperated to carry the basket on the cart, and Zi Yu reported.
"There's chili sauce, fermented bean curd, shrimp oil side dishes, soy sauce, sweet garlic, salted garlic, pepper, leek sauce, braised shrimp sauce, soap, skincare cream, and the rest are vegetables from the greenhouse."
"Okay, Old Bi, I won't see you off. Goodbye!" Li Yi turned his head and waved at Bi Goo.
"Remember to send the gasoline over. When the hot air balloon rises, check the situation. There's snow on the mountain, and it's easy to have an avalanche. Shout a few times first."
Bi Goo put his hands behind his back and strolled to the place where his car was parked.
Hao Lingquan stood up and watched Bi Goo leave.
When Bi Goo got in the car and left, he exhaled a long breath and felt much less pressure. He was afraid that Bi Goo would tell Li Yi more about the court.
