"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, wake up! What are you talking about?" Li Longji panicked, hoping that something bad would happen.
"Nothing, my soul is still there, it has always been there. I said that one day from Guangzhou to Chang 'an, without stopping midway, it will take at most two days to send the things to the place."
Li Yi explained with a smile. Two days without stopping midway, the first green train could also do this.
"Brother Yi, don't scare me." Li Longji was about to cry. What do you mean by two days from Guangzhou to Chang 'an?
It is impossible even if you rush 800 miles. With this speed, do you think I will be worried about the remote border areas?
"Third Brother, don't cry, I have a new thing that I am working on. It is very difficult to grasp the details, but it can fly a distance."
Li Yi knew that the other party could not accept it. Two days from Chang 'an to Guangzhou was not enough, in fact, half a day by plane was enough.
"Uncle, can't a hot air balloon fly?" Empress Wang carefully observed Li Yi and found that he was still the same Li Yi, so she was temporarily relieved.
"A hot air balloon must have a balloon. This thing of mine can be used with parachute training, like a kite, as long as the weather is good, it can fly very far."
Li Yi said, and put a piece of bean skin skewer for the crying little girl. The little girl was happy and picked it up to eat.
Li Longji reached out and touched Li Yi's forehead, and then touched his own: "How far can it fly?"
"It depends on how high you jump from, how the wind blows, and how strong the wind is.
Under the wind, a height of a few hundred feet can fly dozens or hundreds of miles.
With parachutes, it can put the Winged Knights in a small area. "
Li Yi gestured a few times and gave the flying situation of the glider.
Empress Wang listened: "In this case, we can find the right opportunity to destroy all the enemy's Baggage at once."
Li Longji said: "With the hot air balloon and the Divine Flame Crow, it is more useful to siege a city."
"I'll make it in a few days. I'll go and use it first. Then, Third Brother and Sister-in-law can take a look. Oh, and our Jin 'er."
When Li Yi spoke, he saw the little girl looking at him, so he quickly added.
"En, en!" The little guy was indeed satisfied and continued to eat the tofu skin.
"How much money does Brother Yi think the Ministry of Revenue will earn this year if we include the tax revenue from Henan Province and the income from the rent?"
Li Longji was still not satisfied with money. He wanted to do big things.
"Third Elder Brother, are you saying that His Majesty is going to repair all the roads in the Tang dynasty, including the irrigation works?" Li Yi naturally guessed.
Qin Shihuang had such thoughts, and so did Rome.
The better the road, the stronger the grasp of the ruler's power.
"Yes!" Li Longji admitted.
"Pay the taxes wherever you go. Otherwise, the merchants won't know how to cherish it." Li Yi held a different attitude.
"Can't we fix it first before paying the tax?" Li Longji was prepared to invest first.
"Use the executive order to push the local officials and let them talk to the businessmen. They can pay the tax while repairing the roads, but not after the roads are repaired. "
Li Yi objected to collecting the tax after the roads were repaired. There was no such thing as collecting the tolls.
Li Longji frowned and thought for a while. "That should be the case. Otherwise, they will think that the imperial court will take care of them no matter what, so they don't have to pay anything."
He had another question. Eating was not important, but he had to ask about the government.
"Brother Yi, can you give me a few targets for the local labor-intensive industries you mentioned?"
"The Yi Alliance and the Workers Alliance are the same. No matter who takes on a big job, they will spread out and form a whole.
This is actually a centralized plan for the distributed industrial chain. It can be used not only in the Yi Alliance and the Workers Alliance, but also in the farming and farming industries.
By breaking the whole into parts, we can guide and train individual individuals and small organizations to work together and unify the standards. "
Li Yi did not plan to do it in one go because there was a shortage of raw materials in the supply chain.
More commoners needed to take care of their family's fields before they could participate in the labor activities for extra income.
Setting aside the actual situation, it was unwise for the decision-makers to quickly start a labor-intensive industry.
"Third Brother, the overall industrial chain is not perfect and cannot be sustained, so it can only be a temporary organization that focuses on labor and distributes it.
For example, the Li Family Zhuangzi's cotton spinning and the family model of sorghum straw processing can only be centralized in the end.
The real labor-intensive industries are the migrant workers' areas of cement crushing and women's milling, as well as paper production. "
Li Yi did not want people to misjudge, so he tried his best to imitate, but he found that it did not work.
Li Longji did not immediately speak, slowly eating and drinking.
After eating a few skewers, he put down his chopsticks. "What can the imperial court organize now?"
"From the imperial court's point of view, it's simple. The mining of iron ore and coal, the subsequent processing, and the deep processing are.
This can become a radiative labor employment in the mining industry, which can drive the local industrial development.
The auxiliary industries are naturally slag and coal processing, as well as transportation, including coal washing. As for sales, there is none. "
Li Yi was talking about the good iron ore in Taowu County. The production of iron ore in Taowu County was low, but that was based on the standards of his era.
To the capital office, it was not low. The open-pit mines were easy to mine, had high iron content, and were low in sulfur.
In the process of mining and smelting, it would drive an industrial chain and provide many jobs.
Li Longji understood, "This year, increase the mining of iron ore in Taowu County, as well as the coal mines in other areas? Hire more people to work? "
"That requires manpower. I still have things to do. When the weather gets warmer, I still have things to do. The imperial court still has a project to open up the desert in the Northern Protectorate Manor.
Recruit people from outside. The citizens of the capital office are easy to use. They trust me, and I trust them.
There is no point in the imperial court snatching people from me. The goal of the imperial court is to increase the number of jobs, but I have already given it to them. The imperial court should contribute. "
Li Yi shook his head twice. He did not wish for the imperial court to snatch people from him.
He had many things to do. Even if he took captives into account, it would not be enough. In the capital office, due to the existence of the Li Family Zhuangzi, there was no lack of employment opportunities.
"You need a lot of manpower?" Li Longji could not think of any other situation.
"It is mainly related to transportation. I need a lot of evil money. In order to not raise the value of evil money, I will accept all kinds of evil money."
Li Yi nodded. He needed sufficient manpower.
"Regarding the Jiang Clan, Brother Yi, you did not use evil money to buy their things. Those who know the situation say that you are benevolent."
Li Longji thought of Jiang Hui. He actually hoped that Li Yi would use evil money to buy the Jiang Clan's businesses and things.
Back then, the Jiang Clan used evil money to bully Princess Yongmu time and time again.
"Using evil money will force people to their deaths. At the same time, it also means that I will use evil money to do things. However, I do not wish for evil money to circulate. It is fine as long as I achieve my goal. "
Li Yi stated the reason. He did not want to bully them to their deaths. When the Jiang Clan wanted to take over Zhuangzi, they even gave him 2000 coins.
Using evil money was the last resort. He had to let go of all restraints. If you do it, I will do it.
The actual situation was that evil money had to be restricted. Since that was the case, he would not use it if he could.
Of course, he still had other means. Yes, he still had ways to force the Jiang Clan to their deaths.
"Transferring people from other places to complete the production chain of the mining industry. Does that mean that there is a lack of manpower in that place?"
Li Longji's thoughts were jumping around. He did not care about evil money anymore.
