Li Yi knew that the Japanese were coming over this year. He also knew that the leader was called Abe Amaro, and the deputy was called Fujiwara Majō.
Among them, there was also a person called Masayoshi Masayoshi. Masayoshi Masayoshi would stay in the Tang dynasty.
He studied everything, including architecture, music, painting, military strategy, and so on. Furthermore, he had learned a lot of things.
Naturally, he would study other technologies. Li Yi wouldn't let him know about this. For example, if the other party came over to ask him about gunpowder.
The things that he taught to the people couldn't be kept a secret. If it didn't involve the lives of the people, he wouldn't let anyone know.
There were also medical books. This … was more troublesome. However, there were many medicinal herbs that couldn't be obtained in the Japanese Empire.
"Xiao Yi, are you afraid that the small country will use it to deal with the Tang dynasty?"
Bi Goo wasn't angered by Li Yi's words. He felt that Li Yi cared too much about the Japanese Empire.
"Small country? The Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo. Isn't Goguryeo a small country? You can't be careless. Listen to me. "
Li Yi knew this small country very well. He was ambitious, smart, and had a strong learning ability.
"What if they want to see you?" Song Jing asked.
"Then let them see me. Why should I care if they see me or not? Find someone who can speak their language and come to Zhuangzi to teach me. "
Li Yi wasn't afraid of meeting them. He wanted to learn their language.
In the past, he could speak Japanese, English, German, and Korean.
Sometimes, he would read the other party's thesis, and sometimes he would negotiate with the other party about medical equipment.
But things were different now. The Japanese Empire spoke differently.
He had recently learned some Tubo and Turkic languages, including the Khitan language.
He turned to Princess Yongmu and said, "If you have time, learn other languages. If it's really hard to remember, isn't there pinyin? Mark it out. "
"Mm!" Princess Yongmu nodded. She was willing to learn. She could actually speak the Turkic language.
She also knew some of the Hu people's simple everyday language. Many Hu merchants' items would enter the palace, and they would be called by different names.
"Brother Yi, the people from the Japanese Empire are coming. When they return, what should we reward them?" Li Longji did not dare to make the decision himself.
"Mirror, soap, scented soap, toilet water, glycerin, perfume, makeup box.
They were not allowed to get close to the place where the cement was being burned, and everyone involved had to increase the secrecy.
If they were not allowed to board the hot air balloon, they would refuse on the grounds of safety.
Rice and cotton … they are not allowed to leave with seeds, including other seeds. "
Li Yi was willing to pay for his own things. What he gave were all consumables. Just look at how the Tang dynasty was behaving like a great country. Valuable things!
"Where are the thermos and kerosene lamps?" Empress Wang liked thermos bottles. There was always hot water. The palace maids and eunuchs in the harem were much more relaxed.
"Here, but … give them a batch of kerosene and diesel oil. After that, we can send them over by ship, or let them bring silver to me by ship."
Li Yi was thinking about Japan's silver. It could not be used as a currency now, but it would be useful when it came to electric circuits in the future.
He was prepared to tell the Japanese where there were silver mines. He would not tell them about copper mines because copper could be used to make many things.
Silver could also be used to make utensils, but it was more useful for trade.
The Tang dynasty did not use silver as a currency now, and it would not use it in the future.
"In order to prove the friendship between the Japanese Empire and the Tang dynasty, I have the location of a silver mine in the Japanese Empire. When the time comes, find an opportunity and give it to them."
Li Yi looked as if he was pursuing world peace and was willing to contribute his own strength.
The four ministers looked at him together. Bi Goo: "You know about the Japanese Empire's mines? Does the Japanese Empire have copper mines? "
"Yes, a very large copper mine. However, copper is still a material used to make currency. If the Japanese Empire mines copper in large quantities, it will …"
Li Yi stopped and started to think.
He was thinking about when he could conquer the Japanese Empire. If the Japanese Empire had a large amount of copper, would it be more difficult to conquer the Japanese Empire?
If not, it would be better to sell it to the Japanese Empire and use silver to exchange for the location.
Then, the copper …
"But tell them that I want copper, a large amount of copper." Li Yi changed his mind.
"Is it to be used as collateral for the issue of currency?" Li Longji was concerned about the currency.
"It's to make more powerful bullets. I have a new type of gun, but the bullets are not easy to make. It requires a large amount of copper, and it is also needed for industrial machinery."
Li Yi shook his head. It was fine to use silver as collateral. He had the final say on the value of silver.
"We'll talk about this later." Li Longji was reluctant to tell the Japanese Empire the location of the copper mine. The silver mine was fine. After all, silver was useless.
"Wen Tian, get on the roller coaster. It's too tiring to walk." Li Yi let go of Princess Yongmu's hand.
The roller coaster next to her was put down. Princess Yongmu pouted. She was quite willing to let Li Yi hold her hand.
"Dongzhu, you come up too." Another roller coaster stopped.
"I can walk. I can take a car when I reach the front." Li Yi waved his hand. Unless he was too tired, why would he let others carry him?
In the past, when he went to scenic spots, he would take the roller coaster and let people carry him all the way up. He would also give them extra money when they reached the bottom.
For those people, there was no need for pity. As long as you took the roller coaster, they would earn money.
If everyone didn't take the roller coaster, they would feel bad for letting others carry them. How could the roller coaster live?
The road ahead was easier. There was a car waiting for them. Everyone got on the car and went down the mountain road.
First, they went to the Imperial Plantation that Wang Xing was in charge of. Then, they went to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Bi Goo and the other three didn't take a bath in the morning. Now, they went into the small bathtub to relax their muscles.
"Wen Tian, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you." Li Yi continued to flirt with the girl.
"Noodles, noodles." The little boy had just fallen asleep. Now that he heard Li Yi ask him what he wanted to eat, he told him what he wanted to eat.
He liked to eat noodles because it was easy to eat. It could be mixed with soy sauce and sugar.
Or noodles with soup. He would drink the soup and then eat the meat inside.
It would be even better if there was a braised egg. He would be more satisfied.
"Okay!" Princess Yongmu took care of her brother. If her brother wanted to eat noodles, he would eat noodles.
"Then let's eat chicken with yam and noodles with soup."
Li Yi said that he was hungry. In the morning, he only ate a steamed bun and a boiled egg.
The weather was warm. Bi Goo and the other three came out together in their boxers and loose clothes after bathing.
As soon as they entered, they met Shopkeeper Liang, Yang Huanjin, and the others who had also just come in.
Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong were salt merchants from Shu. They had prepared everything and were about to leave. Finally, they went to the Li Family Zhuangzi to buy goods. Song De was there to entertain them.
Shopkeeper Liang and the others had known each other for a long time and wanted to send them off. They went to the Li Family Zhuangzi to eat and drink for free.
When the four people came in, they stood up with a clatter.
They knew Bi Goo, but they didn't see the others on a daily basis.
"Bi Zaifu, you also came to eat?" Yang Huanjin greeted with a smile.
"I was called to Mount Li by Xiao Yi. This is Song Jing, this is Su Yi, and this is Wei Zhigu.
These three are salt merchants from Shu. They helped a lot. Behind them are Shopkeeper Liang and the others who donated the shed. "
Bi Goo complained about Li Yi and introduced both sides.
Song Jing and the others nodded with good intentions.
Yang Huanjin and the others quickly bowed. The three prime ministers and one minister in the imperial court were called together by Li Dongzhu?
They could even go to Mount Li. Wasn't that the imperial family's place?
