Bi Goo leisurely brewed a pot of tea. "Who did you give the money for the road? Don't the courier take the money and not spend it? Livestock eat. Where do you raise livestock that don't eat? You have to use it. "
He felt that the two of them had suddenly become stupid. What do you mean by spending money on the road?
"But …" Su Yi thought about it and found that Bi Goo was right.
The courier earned the money for the road, and the livestock had to eat.
"Taxes can also be collected, right?" Song Jing raised the key issue.
"Of course, there are additional profits that have not been distributed. They can be used to build roads.
As long as the courier station makes more money, there will be money to build roads for ten miles.
Some courier stations earn more, and some earn less. The additional profits will be uniformly allocated to the courier stations that earn less. "
Bi Goo thought of it himself. There was no need to ask Li Yi.
Building roads was beneficial for merchants to transport goods. It was not as fast as courier stations, but it was the main transportation force.
In this way, the imperial court saved money for building roads, which could be used in other places.
Song Jing did not expect Bi Goo to make a big deal. He sighed. "Li Yi is still promoting business."
"No, Xiao Yi is helping the people exchange what they need. Is it better for things to rot in the ground or to be sold for money? "Bi Goo did not admit that Li Yi was doing it for money.
If it was him, he felt that he could do it for money, but Li Yi could not make much money from it.
"Long Ze has thought of merchants buying things at a low price and selling them at a high price elsewhere?
If the local people are not willing to sell to the merchants at a low price, the merchants will not accept them. The things will still rot in the ground and on the trees. "
Su Yi said the actual situation of Li Yi's time.
Although this was the Tang dynasty, the Tang dynasty also knew human nature and people's hearts.
Bi Goo was stunned and worried. Hoping that merchants would not pursue profits was like hoping that horses could run without eating grass.
Song Jing laughed, "Li Yi has already planned it out. Isn't there a trading company there? He controls it.
For example, in a certain place, merchants wanted to buy ten catties of wild fruits for one coin, but commoners who worked hard to pick them wanted to sell them for two catties for one coin.
The merchant disagreed. Normally, the wild fruits would either rot or be sold to the merchant at the price of ten catties per coin.
Li Yi's trading company could first ask the people of Chang 'an if they wanted to sell, and the price was three cents per catty.
If the people of Chang 'an wanted to buy it, the local businesses would buy it for one tael or two catties.
Then, it will be delivered to the people of Chang 'an at a faster speed through the courier station. How can the businessmen who want to lower the price do that? "
Song Jing was talking about the role of the platform. It was the same as Li Yi's online sales platform.
The buyers gnashed their teeth in hatred. The local people sold the goods themselves online. Without the middleman, the postage was slightly more expensive.
It was cheaper for people to buy from the terminal than to buy from the nearby market. The monopoly of the acquirers was broken.
In the past, when other businessmen wanted to buy grain, some even tried to buy grain and sell it themselves. The acquirers beat them up and even used their connections to arrest them. Later, the acquirers were released without charge.
It had become a logistics system. How could the acquirers dare to beat up the people of the logistics group?
If it was Li Yi, it would make no difference. It was a trading company set up by him. If the local acquirers took action, it would be easy to deal with them.
"Wait and see. It must be done." Su Yi understood. Since Li Yi had promised to do it, it was not difficult.
"I want to live for a few more years. Let's see." Bi Goo was afraid of death. He was afraid that he would not be able to see the prosperity of the Tang dynasty.
"We need to expand the route of the existing courier stations. We need to arrange new courier stations in the places where there are no courier stations. Come, let's talk about it."
Song Jing was also willing to take a look. He was talking about the scale of the courier stations.
Only in important places would there be courier stations. The standard was one courier station for 20 miles. In fact, there might be rivers and mountains in the middle.
There were also some places where courier stations could not be set up at all. There was no place to set up courier stations.
How could there be a courier station in the middle of the plank road on the cliff? How much money would it cost?
Now that Li Yi had given them a way to make money, the courier station network must be improved. It must be like the water network of the capital.
The plank road, spend money, and build courier stations. Horses could not run, but people could run.
After running for a while, people could run to the courier station.
Isn't it just money? With Li Yi around, there was no need to worry about money.
The three of them discussed and felt that there were not enough people. They pulled in other officials from the Political Affairs Hall and held a meeting.
When they explained the matter, the officials who were called in were dumbfounded. The idea was too … too …
"It was Li Dongzhu's idea, right? It's feasible! When we first built the water network, everyone thought it was a whimsical idea. Only after the water network was built did they know it was right. "
An official carefully said. He did not think that the three Prime Ministers would have such a bold idea.
Bi Goo and the other two were depressed. Now, whenever there was a good idea, others would think that it was Li Yi's idea.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The official next to the official patted him and reminded him in a low voice.
He turned his head and said with a smile, "The three Prime Ministers really do care about the world. This is a good plan. I couldn't think of it."
The other officials followed suit and showered the Prime Ministers with praises.
Bi Goo and the other two were speechless.
Song Jing took six deep breaths. "Let's see how it should be deployed. The idea was indeed Li Yi's idea, but we have to consider the details more than he did."
The matter quickly spread to Li Longji. Li Longji ordered that when the details of those people were studied, they should report it.
In the afternoon, a few pieces of paper were delivered. Li Longji read through them and quickly got off work. He was late today and only had a pig meat bun for lunch.
When he arrived at the Li Family Zhuangzi, he found that they were gone. They said they had left early and were waiting for him at the hot springs.
He hurried over. When he arrived, Empress Wang was soaking with the little fellow in a place where the temperature was not high.
Li Yi was frying skewers.
Dried oysters and dried scallops were fried with flaxseed. On the plate next to him was a deboned roast duck that had been torn open.
"Third Brother is back? I made white fungus turtle soup. You'll be fine after two more days of recuperation.
Today's skewers don't need to be dipped in anything spicy. Just put some salt.
If you want to dip it, dip it in the sweet sauce and black bean sauce that duck meat should be dipped in. "
Li Yi said as he arranged the food. They were ready to eat. He also fried some tofu skin and streaky pork.
He gave Li Longji food therapy every day and prepared everything.
"Brother Yi, you've worked hard." Li Longji knew that because he did not want to take medicine, he made Li Yi spend extra time to prepare the food.
"I'm not tired. I'm bored all day. Actually, I want to go to Qiongzhou to take a look and quickly solve the problem of the aborigines and mountain people. "
Li Yi said as he moved the things closer. Empress Wang took the little fellow to change clothes.
"It's a waste of your talent to deal with that small matter. It's good for you to stay here." Li Longji said and also went to change clothes.
Li Yi ate a scallop first and muttered, "That's why I'm free! The scallops are all processed into scallop sticks. The rest of the skirt is used to make cold dishes for the farmers. "
After a while, the three of them came back.
Li Longji picked up a scallop skewer and handed it to his son.
"Father, you eat." The little fellow waved his hand.
"One bite each." Li Longji ate one first and handed the skewer to his son.
The little fellow bit horizontally and shook his head, revealing a big smile.
Li Longji felt that the tiredness all over his body had disappeared without the need to soak in the hot spring. He wanted to straighten out the court and leave a relaxed court for his son.
