Just as Su Yi said, there was too much water in the capital's water network. Some people couldn't wait for the boats to go down.
They had their own boats and used bamboo poles to transport things and people to earn money.
The price was reasonable. They didn't want to pay high prices because they were afraid of being punished.
There were also smart people who went from one village to another. It just so happened that they were going with the flow and wanted to deliver things.
They took a big wooden basin and put things in it. They carried a pole and walked on the shore. It saved a lot of energy.
When they came back, they prepared to sit in the wooden basin and use the pole to support the basin. Anyway, they couldn't carry it. It was too heavy.
Simple houses had been built. They recruited people to guard the houses and provided free soup.
When the weather warmed up, they would provide tea made with the worst tea leaves. It was already cold.
The newspaper said that if it was too hot, drinking hot water would still cause heatstroke. It was useless to look hot and sweaty.
They needed to prepare cold water. If someone sweated a lot, they would add some salt in the bowl.
The people in charge of looking after the houses could earn money and also had a sense of mission.
His Majesty said that no one was allowed to die of heatstroke or starvation because of lack of water and food in the capital.
The people in charge of looking after the houses had the responsibility of taking the initiative to give people water. If someone was confused by the heat and didn't know to drink water, they would pass it over.
Therefore, they were not just looking after a house, but the safety of the people.
"Brother Yi, are we not releasing the boats?" In the hot spring, Li Longji, who had given himself a day off, was still thinking about things.
"After a few days, when the water in the fields has been drained, we will release the boats. Otherwise, the water level will drop.
I know that there are people rowing boats. It means that they haven't found a suitable job yet.
This time, we will release them again. We will join the propeller boats and let the Tubo and Turkic people see and scare them. "
Li Yi's heart was still very evil. He could guess that the Tubo and Turkic envoys were watching the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Every time the Li Family Zhuangzi released something, they would send people back to deliver the news.
The boats could be learned, but it was useless for Tubo.
There was a big river there, the Yarlung Zangbo River. Could a small boat sail there? It was not just awesome, it was very awesome.
From Tubo, we can reach India directly. Let's go.
If the ship managed to make it here alive, how were they supposed to return? Pulling fiber? Even if the trackers were exhausted to death, they still wouldn't be able to pull it.
As for the underwater propeller, I'll flip it over for you to see.
Could it be made? Did they have the industrial foundation? Do you know how to calculate the arc of an oar blade?
"What I'm thinking about now is Hukou Waterfall. Once we start sailing, the morale of the people in the upper reaches of the Yellow River will definitely increase."
Li Longji smiled. He was looking forward to the boat starting its journey from Hukou Waterfall.
The iron chain pontoon bridge at the ferry had already been built and could be dismantled. It required a ship to help pull the bridge when it was closed.
It could be realized this year. Using the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River for navigation and relaying the power of the upper reaches, the entire Yellow River would come alive.
To be able to send troops and Baggage to Tubo in one go, let me ask you, are you afraid of Tubo? If you have the ability, then prepare to stop them.
"It's a pity that the other places along the Yellow River are sparsely populated. It's impossible to organize a large number of goods. Moreover, we're going against the current. Where are we going to find so many trackers?"
Li Longji felt regretful. How many years had he missed?
Now, there were ships that could move against the current. With the addition of propellers, they could transport large amounts of goods to Tubo.
As for Tubo, they didn't have any ships. They knew that they could follow the current all the way to Hukou Waterfall, but they didn't dare to send any ships.
"Everything will be fine. Tubo doesn't have a navy, and neither does the Turks …"
Li Yi stopped. The Turks didn't have a navy now. Back in his time, the countries north of Inner Mongolia did.
"Horse and camel teams are still more important." Li Yi stopped talking about the navy. In the northwest, camels were the most important.
Tubo was mainly populated by humans. Once they crossed over and reached India, the climate would be warmer.
Or they could pass through Pakistan, which had the Wakhan Corridor.
Camels were much more powerful than horses. They were resistant to cold, heat, drought, and sand. Now, other people had camel cavalry, but they weren't used for charging and killing. They were used for transportation.
Camels weren't suitable for close combat. Their necks were too long, and when they were injured, they would run around.
If they fought light cavalry in non-desert areas, they would be restrained by the light cavalry.
If they fought any cavalry in the desert, the cavalry would have to kneel.
"We are already training camels. In the future, we will use camels to go to the northwest and north. The horses on the grasslands are too weak. We can only advance when there is enough grass."
Li Longji was very familiar with the military. He didn't know how to farm, but he knew the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry.
The Mo sword soldiers of the Tang dynasty were specially made to restrain cavalry. They didn't have to kill the cavalry, but they made the enemy cavalry not dare to charge.
"Actually, the problem of supplies is that we can use plows on the grasslands, snow, and grasslands."
Li Yi lowered his voice as if he was talking about something confidential.
Plows can also be used on grasslands. The grass on the grasslands was tall, and the wheels couldn't be used. If we use plows, we can slip in and out.
Li Longji rolled his eyes. "Indeed, with plows, we can move forward on the grasslands at any time. In summer, we can carry equipment and food.
In winter, we can carry fodder and food to keep warm. With sickles, the horses can drag the plows and fight all year round. "
"Then we have to keep up with the logistics. We can't let a single team fight here and there."
Li Yi knew Li Longji's idea. Let a single team fight continuously.
It was a good idea. It was a test of the soldiers' willpower.
Did the Tang dynasty have such an army? Yes!
According to historical records, Guo Xin was the Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate. He guarded the four garrisons of Anxi.
After that, he broke off contact with the Tang dynasty and continued to defend. Later, he contacted them again, but the Tang dynasty couldn't send reinforcements.
Thus, they continued to defend and didn't surrender.
They defended for more than forty years. Without reinforcements, they couldn't see any hope. From young men, they became old men. In the end, they were trapped in a city and fought to the last man.
Such an army didn't seem to care about fighting alone. They could hold on for as long as they wanted.
But who was Guo Xin? Guo Ziyi's nephew, Guo Ziyi's younger brother, Guo Ziyun.
Of course, he wasn't born yet.
"How should I arrange this?" Li Yi thought for a while and felt troubled.
Such a good family should be arranged well. But Guo Xin wasn't born yet. What if his father married a different wife and gave birth to a girl? Was he going to learn from Hua Mulan?
"Brother Yi, what should we arrange?" Li Longji didn't know that Li Yi was thinking about famous historical figures.
"It's about where to provide the logistics. We have to occupy other places and colonize them. If we don't colonize, we can't rule for a long time."
Li Yi came back to his senses and threw out a theory.
If he didn't arrange for his own people to go there, the place would belong to others.
Colonization required population. People had to give birth.
Thinking about it this way, if a child was born now, it would take sixteen or seventeen years to have another child.
A little later, it would be twenty years.
Giving birth was the gate of hell. Raising a child wasn't easy either. How long would he have to wait?
