When they returned to Xingqing Palace, Li Longji went to the Political Affairs Hall and told the three prime ministers who came out of their respective offices about the four Governor's Mansions.
Song Jing kept blinking and was confused.
I will stop one Governor's Mansion from being rebuilt. You go to Li Family Zhuangzi and come back with four Governor's Mansions.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. The money spent on Governor's Mansions …" Song Jing said and stopped just like Li Longji did in Li Family Zhuangzi.
Li Longji looked at him, indicating that he should continue.
"I'm afraid Bohai will panic." Song Jing had to say the same thing.
"With trade, there's no need to be afraid. This time, Li Family Zhuangzi's exchange team went to Bohai. The local people traded hazelnuts and pine nuts.
Li Family Zhuangzi also sold hazelnuts at a high price in Chang 'an and made a lot of money. I want to organize a team to go there. "
Bi Goo supported the many Governor's Mansions. The imperial court was not afraid of spending money. They could also make money.
The hazelnuts and pine nuts in Bohai were expensive and their fur was better than those in the Western Regions.
With ginseng and antler, not only could they earn back the cost of rescuing people and the team, but they could also make a lot of profits.
Unfortunately, they could not collect taxes this time. They risked their lives to go there.
Li Longji looked at Su Yi, but Su Yi did not look at the other two.
He made a fist salute and said, "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansions should be made good use of the navy. It should be convenient to travel and build a strong city to prevent the attack of wild beasts."
He supported it. He had to support it because it involved the strategy of the Tang dynasty.
Li Yi definitely had a backup plan. Not to mention whether he could succeed or not, even if he succeeded, it would delay the important matter.
Su Yi believed that Li Yi would not blindly give orders in such a matter.
"I want to see Li Yi." Song Jing insisted, wanting to know more.
"Okay!" Li Longji agreed. Song Jing had seen Li Yi before.
"Your Majesty, who should we send to rebuild the Martial Manor?" Bi Goo was preparing to arrange the manpower.
"Song Qingli can do it? Li Longji was the first one to speak of who would do the work.
"Your Majesty, Song Qingli likes to build wantonly. If he becomes a governor, I'm afraid that the local people will be very tired." Song Jing pointed out Song Qingli's small flaw.
"This Emperor knows. When Brother Yi was sending them off, he said that we should not make any useless constructions. We should send some things over to calm the people."
Li Longji was not surprised at all. He was used to it. Brother Yi would definitely know who to send. It was just that mysterious.
Song Jing stood there in a daze for a while until Li Longji left.
He wasn't in the mood to work. He went out and called his subordinates, then took a car to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
When he arrived, he was just in time for dinner. Li Yi felt that it was cold outside, so he boiled a bowl of rice wine for himself.
When Song Jing arrived, he boiled another bowl for Song Jing.
"Old Song, it's just in time. We're eating pan-fried hairtail today. It's caught in the Bohai Bay in winter. It's called northern hairtail. It hasn't been sold yet. You haven't eaten it before. Freeze it and eat it slowly."
Li Yi took out the pan-fried hairtail and introduced it to Song Jing.
Song Jing asked, "Did you catch a lot of hairtail in the Martial Manor?"
"Yes, this fish is also called sickle fish. With our fishing skills, we can never catch all of them. We need to cast a deep net or catch them."
Li Yi was sure that the people of Chang 'an in the Tang dynasty had never eaten hairtail before.
When a hairtail is caught, it has a short shelf life. It must be frozen or dried.
After the dried hairtail is soaked, the texture of the meat changes. When a fisherman finally catches a hairtail, it's not worth it to dry it and sell it.
There are hairtail in the Bohai Bay. The navy cast a deep net and caught more than 4,000 hairtail with different sizes.
Zhuangzi was given 1,500 hairtail, which was not enough at all. The rest was for Li Chengqi and Li Longji, but the minister didn't give any to them.
The hairtail in the Bohai Bay had a big body and few bones. There were only two rows of bones. The remaining meat was delicious.
Li Yi picked up a piece with chopsticks and pierced it with his teeth. It was the meat. He also ate the Deep River Stone, which was the big bone of the hairtail.
Song Jing watched and learned to eat. After eating one piece, he ate the second piece. He ate three pieces in a row before stopping.
"Old Song, it's delicious, right? Do you know why you can't eat it? It's deep in the water. The hairtail lives in very deep water.
With our current fishing and fishing skills, we can only catch a few fish occasionally if we are lucky enough.
You don't have to say that they will die when they come out of the water. At a certain depth, the hairtail will die. There's no need to come out of the water. The hairtail in the Bohai Bay is more delicious than other places. "
Li Yi explained to Song Jing. He knew that Song Jing didn't want to restore the Governor's Mansion.
Yao Chong was the prime minister in the chaotic situation. He was smart and flexible.
Song Jing was the prime minister who kept the achievements. He helped the Tang dynasty to save money. He didn't want to go to war if he could.
Originally, in history, he wanted Bi Goo to cooperate with him. Bi Goo was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. However, Bi Goo was dead.
Now, Li Yi knew that Song Jing should change his mind. Don't be afraid. We have money. We can make money by restoring the Governor's Mansion.
"No one in my family has eaten it before." Song Jing drank a mouthful of wine.
"Old Song, when you leave, I'll bring you 50 pieces of fried hairtail. Otherwise, you won't know how to clean up. Hairtail is very smelly." Li Yi promised to send him.
"Okay!" Song Jing was satisfied.
"Will the Bohai people think that the Tang dynasty is close to the border and that the soldiers are in danger?" Song Jing asked about politics.
"Driven by the benefits of trade, everyone will choose to ignore the war. Between the benefits in front of us and the possible war, the former is more important. "
Li Yi pointed to the northeast.
"How much money do we make every year?" Song Jing admitted that Li Yi was right. He began to consider the economic benefits.
"Old Song, the so-called profit refers to the profit after considering the trade deficit, the added value of the product's technology, the production cost, the supply and demand relationship, and other factors."
Li Yi shook his head and said a bunch of terms.
How would he know how much money he could make? Sell a small mirror in exchange for 500 kilograms of pine nuts.
Bring back 500 kilograms of pine nuts and sell them to the people of Chang 'an for 300 kilograms.
Can you say that you made a profit when you got 300,000 kilograms?
The real profit was actually 500 kilograms of pine nuts, which provided heat.
The pine nuts bought by the people were circulated internally.
Only by continuing to make mirrors and constantly changing them could the profit be calculated.
Li Yi told Song Jing these words, but Song Jing did not understand.
"Your Zhuangzi made 300,000 kilograms of pine nuts. The cost of the mirror is low." Song Jing looked at the actual amount of money.
"Zhuangzi can only spend this money to adjust the economy and infrastructure of the Tang dynasty. Only then can the Tang dynasty make a profit. An uncirculated currency hinders social development. "
Li Yi did not think that the Tang dynasty would make a profit if he just left the money at home.
Song Jing was in awe. He knew that the young man in front of him was always working for the Tang dynasty.
"Is it a profit if you spend it?" Song Jing sat upright and learned.
"The input-output ratio is not the ratio of Zhuangzi's output. It's how a certain amount of money can promote the productivity of the entire Tang dynasty. Let me tell you …"
Li Yi began to talk to Song Jing about logistics and road construction. Using the money to build roads, the speed of travel was faster, and the cost of time was saved.
The caravan that took three months to come over came in one month.
In two months, they replaced the cheap things in the two places with things they needed to increase efficiency.
Otherwise, they would rot on the trees and in the fields, and no one would benefit from it.
There were so many fruits in the south. If they were faster, the fruits would become money, and the money would be used to buy the things the caravan transported.
This was the economic effect of infrastructure investment. It would improve the people's livelihood.
