Bi Goo did not mention anything about compensation. He knew that the Li Family Zhuangzi had to pay a lot in the early stages.
After that, they would try to plant new rice twice a year. They could even rest in between.
If they were successful, everyone could plant new rice. They could plant two new rice in the plains and one other crop.
The taste and texture were secondary. The water network was suitable for planting rice on a large scale.
Those who did not want to eat long-grain rice could still use it to make rice noodles and rice cakes. The rice made by the Li Family Zhuangzi was very delicious.
Li Yi took a sip of wine: "I have sent people to observe. There are people among the surrendered families who can organize others. They have a lot of appeal."
Li Yi only said this sentence to express his intention.
"Send them away?" Bi Goo thought of the way to deal with the Maanshan Iron Mine.
"Yes, learn. Send them to the south of the city and teach them about farming.
After that, send people to the surrendered families to teach them.
When imparting knowledge to people with charisma, it would be slower and more general.
Teach the other surrendered families in a more specific way. Let them grasp it.
When they are done learning, send people back. The surrendered families will realize that their original leader is not as good as them … … "
Li Yi stopped talking. There was no need to say more.
When the new surrendered families arrived, they would still follow the same procedure. Who could organize people to rebel?
Bi Goo felt a little cold. He looked at Li Yi's calm face and did not know what to say.
He used to be such an innocent young man. No, he was not so sinister when he schemed against others. He had become more and more evil.
Li Yi lowered his head and ate the fish. The braised hairtail fish was softer than the fried one. It also had more meat.
He preferred to eat fried fish. It was drier and he chewed slowly.
"What kind of business did you say?" Bi Goo was not worried about the surrendered families anymore. He was focused on the money.
"Planting ginger." Li Yi said.
"There is a lot of ginger in Henan Province." Bi Goo used to be the Henan Provincial Magistrate and knew the local situation.
The ginger that Chang 'an is eating right now is transported from Henan Province.
Most of the farmers in the capital government saw that the weather was good and used two portions of their fields. It was not easy to take care of them.
Due to the sudden continuous rain, the temperature was low, and the ginger would rot. When the temperature was high, they had to be watered after sprouting.
Planting ginger in places where the climate and soil were unsuitable was the same as covering the cost.
On the other hand, planting ginger in Henan Province was a good source of income.
"The people don't want to eat fish because it's too fishy. The price of ginger is also expensive. The people can't afford to rely on the ginger from Henan Province every day. Isn't there a road to cross the desert …"
Li Yi told Bi Goo about the temperature, soil, and lack of water in the area north of the Yellow River.
There was sandy soil there, which was suitable for growing ginger. Although the latitude was slightly higher, in the Tang dynasty, the overall temperature was high.
Otherwise, how could Tubo plant wheat and sorghum in large quantities? Li Yi's position at that time could not be planted naturally, but it was still okay to plant barley.
"You know how to plant ginger?" Bi Goo had a feeling that things were not so simple. He had never planted ginger before.
He only knew that ginger could be preserved by burying it in the sand, and it could germinate.
"Zhuangzi is about to finish germinating. It started a month in advance. We just need to transport it over and plant it. It's very simple."
Li Yi nodded and told the other party that the preparations were complete.
"I see that you have a lot of free time. Why do you have so many things to do?"
Bi Goo was depressed. Li Yi did not feel busy, but he threw things out one by one at any time. The preparations were almost done.
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo. "Old Bi Goo, if you continue to care about everything all day long, I won't be able to save you."
"I'll be fine after I get through this period. It's all because of you. Can't we not do that? It's too far. "
Bi Goo talked about the Ministry of Revenue's matters. He was also quite helpless. He was always worried that others would not do a good job.
Fortunately, the nutrition of the meals every day was good. If they liked to eat, they would not have a stomachache after eating.
Before going to bed at night, they could take a hot bath and fall asleep as soon as they lay in bed.
When they slept, they would not think about problems. When they thought about worrying, they would tell themselves not to be afraid. With Xiao Yi around, they could ask him tomorrow. There was no use worrying to death.
According to what Bi Goo knew, many officials thought the same. Anyway, if they could not do it, they would have someone to back them up.
"Let's plant this once in the Ministry of Revenue to set an example for the people. In the future, the people will plant their own. The big families will be tempted.
If not, the place to plant is further south, Yangyuan County by the Yangshui River. That place is not bad.
But the Shannan Dongdao further down is more suitable for planting. Bashan County and Changyang County there have high production of ginger. "
Li Yi pointed out that the best place to plant ginger in Shaanxi was southeast of Hanzhong.
But when it came to Hubei, Hubei was the province with a lot of ginger. The other was Shandong.
Shandong was now under the jurisdiction of Henan, and ginger was indeed planted there.
Hubei was not developed. Not to mention ginger, there were not many pigs. Hunan and Hubei were big pig rearing provinces.
What a pity. It was such a good place.
Bi Gou stared at Li Yi. You should know which place in the Great Tang is suitable for what to do, right?
"Yangyuan County, up there." Bi Goo chose to go down. There were more people around Hanzhong.
"No, it must be up there." Li Yi refused.
"Why?" Bi Goo wanted to know.
"There are many kinds of watermelons this year. It is to let the local people have a way to survive. In the future, when the families from other places come over, we can arrange for them to go there."
Li Yi finally said his purpose. It was a strategic requirement. Planting ginger was secondary. Can't they plant it anywhere? Even in the greenhouses.
"I know you are scheming. What does it have to do with the Ministry of Revenue?" Bi Goo asked for benefits.
"Old Bi, thank you. You are helping me? We will split the profits 50/50. Throwing in 600 Jin of ginger seedlings can get more than 4,000 Jin of ginger. Seven times. "
Li Yi knew that the current variety of ginger was not good enough. If it was good, it would be 10 times easier.
Also, if the variety and location were good, it could reach 20 times the yield.
Bi Goo was skeptical. He always felt that he was being schemed against.
He drank another mouthful of wine and asked, "Can we make money this autumn?"
"You can make about 1,000 Jin of ginger." Li Yi stretched out a finger.
"Isn't it more than 4,000 Jin?" Bi Goo immediately found the problem.
"I have 600 Jin of seedlings for next year. Only the bad ones can be sold. Sell 2,000 Jin and keep 2,000 Jin." Li Yi calculated for Bi Goo.
"No, it is too little. You are talking to me, the Minister of Revenue, about 1,000 Jin of ginger? "Bi Goo showed his status.
"I have prepared 100 mu of ginger seedlings. If no one else wants to participate next year, we will plant 500 mu.
You also know about the price of ginger. 100 mu, 1,000 Jin per mu. 100,000 Jin, we can make more than 5,000 Jin.
You can just mark a piece of sandy land. If you don't mark the land, how can it make money? "
Li Yi calculated the amount for Bi Goo. Ginger was not cheap. It was more expensive than rice.
"It is almost 100 Jin. How did it become 5,000 Jin?" Bi Goo realized that he had made less money.
"If the price is not lowered, why should I plant ginger? Wait for next year, I will lower the price of ginger to less than 10 Jin."
Li Yi said confidently. Yes, I want to lower the price of ginger and let the people eat more delicious fish.
"You will plant 500 mu this year. I will mark the land for you. If not, there is no need to talk."
Bi Goo wanted to earn more. Was 5,000 Jin considered as money? Now he had tens of thousands of Jin in his hands.
"If there are no seeds, I have to keep some for myself. If I take other people's ginger, it will be too late to germinate." Li Yi spread out his hands.
