"Quick, quick, let's run. Organize the men. This time, we'll transport to the north. It's more than 1500 miles. Fifty coins per person a day."
The people of the Salt Clan were commanding. The money Li Yi took out was used to buy things.
After the imperial court sent the urgent message, Li Yi also used the same channel to send a letter to the Shu Lands. There were enough horses.
From Xi 'an to Liangzhou, it took one day and one night.
From Chang 'an to the Shu Lands, it took less than one day and one night.
In history, the lychees that Yang Guifei ate were from the Shu Lands. At that time, the lychees could be delivered in time.
Now, it was even faster than reaching Liangzhou.
When Yang Huanjin received Li Yi's letter, he immediately arranged it.
The entire Yizhou was mobilized. Countless supplies were loaded onto the carriages and traveled by land.
All the clans with enough status participated.
They didn't want those who weren't strong enough. They needed to travel quickly.
Each person carrying a pole was paid fifty coins a day. Each person pushing a wheelbarrow was paid one hundred and twenty coins a day. Two people were responsible for one cart.
The price for driving the cart was different according to the livestock.
The first batch of troops had already set off. Now, the second batch was about to set off.
It seemed that 1500 miles was a bit far. It would take a month for the troops to arrive.
When they encountered mountain ridges that were difficult to travel, they needed to unload the goods on the cart and carry them over.
However, the war wasn't over in a day. Yang Huanjin sent people to other provinces in the Shu Lands to continue the transportation.
The logistics had to be continuous. When the front arrived, the Baggage Flow would be completely formed.
The soldiers at the front persevered for a month. After that, they wouldn't lack anything.
The people who reported the news quickly advanced north. They went to the counties and villages in the north and bought things there.
These things weren't sent forward. Instead, they were supplied to the Baggage Flow team along the way.
In addition, they hired local people to repair the bad roads. Everything was to better support the front line.
In fact, many people in the Shu Lands were willing to help transport things even if they didn't pay.
In addition to their loyalty to the king and patriotism, if they lost the land above, the Shu Lands would have to face Tubo.
If Tubo attacked, wouldn't they fight?
Now, others were fighting, and they were helping.
"Looking at Li Dongzhu's appearance, he is very confident in this battle." Huang Xianrong saw that the sky was dark, and wiped the sweat off his face.
Ever since he received the letter in the morning, he had only drunk a few mouthfuls of water. He was tired and hungry.
"Let's eat hotpot tonight. Take out the chili Li Dongzhu gave us and drink some wine. We still have work to do tomorrow." Yang Huanjin said while rubbing his stomach.
A group of big shots from all walks of life were eating hotpot at the headquarters of the Salt Gang in Yizhou.
The five hundred thousand yuan was given to them without raising the price.
When the time came for them to contribute their strength, they would contribute their manpower and resources.
Last time, when they were fighting against the barbarians of the southwest, they had worked together once. If they sold goods to the capital office, they would be exempted from paying taxes.
Furthermore, they could also exchange coupons from the capital office to spend. The commoners of Shu County loved it. Copper coins were very heavy.
The Li Family Zhuangzi of Baishui mobilized again and hurriedly followed. Even if he had to pay a little money, it was worth it.
Li Dongzhu was a trustworthy person and got along well with the Prime Ministers of the imperial court.
If there was any business that was blocked by the capital office, it would be useful to look for him.
"Looking at the situation, the imperial court wants to fight a war and seize the land of Jiuqu." The head shopkeeper of the cloth trade analyzed.
"It has nothing to do with the imperial court. Li Dongzhu paid for it. It's Li Dongzhu who wants to get Jiuqu." The head of the grain merchant spoke.
"Once we take Jiuqu, we can also get Zhaling Lake and Erling Lake in the west. The grassland is rich and beautiful, and we can raise more cattle, sheep, and horses.
When the time comes, the commoners of Shu County can eat cheaper meat. It can't be much worse than the price of the capital office. "
The giant merchant in charge of one-fifth of the meat trade in Yizhou spoke. He didn't care about the price of meat.
As long as he killed and sold it, he could profit from it.
Once the price of meat became cheaper, the commoners would eat more meat, and he would earn more money.
"Next time, whoever goes there, ask Li Dongzhu. Other than making pickled vegetables and various kinds of peppercorns, what else can we earn more money from here?"
Fu Jia, who was in charge of part of the transportation in Shu County, looked at Yang Huanjin, meaning to ask him. He didn't have any contact with Li Yi.
Shu County produced a lot of things, and the transportation needed increased. He could profit from it.
"I'll write a letter and ask the relay station to help send it." Yang Huanjin agreed. He also hoped to develop the transportation business.
The person in front of him was not only in charge of both water and land transportation, but also in charge of building roads and bridges.
If the road wasn't good, it would delay things. Building roads could help him gain a good reputation.
"Can chili be grown in Shu County?" The person who had planted a lot of peppercorns wanted to add a new crop.
Huang Xianrong: "Take over. Li Dongzhu still hopes to make more money from chili. He won't give you the seeds now. But when he grows more and buys it at a cheaper price, he will agree."
…
"Okay, third brother, you're completely recovered. Eat more meat."
In the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi checked Li Longji and congratulated him.
It was just a cold. It wasn't viral and wasn't contagious.
If it was viral, it needed to be treated with morpholinidine hydrochloride. At the same time, there were antibiotics for inflammation.
Viral colds could kill people, so it was important to take it seriously.
Li Longji was eating braised pork ribs. In the past, pork ribs were taken out directly. But since Li Yi, they ate it in the Li Family Zhuangzi and found that it was more delicious than meat.
The people knew that pork ribs were delicious, but they didn't buy them. They bought meat because it was more fatty.
After Li Yi bought things in the East Market and made them himself, the people in the Li Family Zhuangzi would go to the East Market and West Market every day to buy pork ribs and ask for some meat.
Pork ribs and lamb ribs were fine.
Other than the free soup, the people in the Zhuangzi ate the rest of the ribs. Children loved to eat the ribs, and their faces were oily.
After eating a piece of pork ribs, Li Longji put down his chopsticks: "Brother Yi."
Li Yi also put down his chopsticks and sat up straight. He knew that there was something important.
"Brother Yi, are you plotting against the Jiuqu region? There are two big freshwater lakes over there. "Li Longji asked.
Li Yi sent a letter to the Shu Lands. Normally, the West River Jiedushi would send troops once, and they didn't need the help of the Shu Lands.
Last year and in the first two months of this year, they sent a large number of supplies to the Jiedushi Prefectures.
The Jiedushi Prefectures already had reserves, and the extra supplies were enough to fight two or three wars. How much Baggage would they need to mobilize the Shu Lands?
"I wrote a letter to Zhang Shuo, asking him to help collect supplies in Henan Province and transport them to Chang 'an."
Li Yi didn't answer about his own plans, but he said that he did it secretly.
Li Longji was stunned. How come I didn't know about it? You even bought things from Henan Province?
"Big brother knows. Big brother's Workers' Alliance is making use of the time to build ships, and Zhuangzi is making propellers."
Li Yi explained. I told big brother, but he didn't tell you. He was probably too busy building ships.
"I didn't see big brother transporting more things from the Yellow River? Occupying the whole area? "
Li Longji was sure that there was not enough supplies in the Shu Lands. If he continued to buy, he would definitely continue to send supplies there.
If they didn't occupy space, why would they send supplies? Your actions are too big.
"If we occupy the Yellow River basin, we can slowly swallow the Yangtze River basin." Li Yi admitted.
The source of the Yellow River basin was at the Twin Lakes, while the source of the Yangtze River was at the west of the Tanggula Mountains, and the other was at the west of Zailuo Serenba Ma.
There was also a lake there, Dole Geco Lake.
However, there was no need to occupy it, as long as the downstream was guarded, Tubo would be pushed back.
