Chapter 1055 New Material Desires Are the Source of Sin

"Our casualties?" Yin Sizhen.

"There are more wounded than dead, less than one percent of the enemy's casualties." Li Yi was quite happy when he talked about this.

He wanted zero casualties, but there would always be various accidents on the battlefield, and non-combat casualties were also considered casualties.

What was even more helpless was that he chased the enemy and was killed by the fleeing enemy, which showed that the chasing Tang soldiers were not in a stable state of mind.

Yao Chong brought a glass wine glass up and said it was iced yellow wine, but in fact it was ice cubes, so the wine was diluted.

Li Yi didn't have time to use a large basin to hold ice and cool the glass together.

He couldn't make an ice cup with special liquid in the middle, so he just drank it.

"Will I have a stomachache at night if I drink this wine?" Yao Chong was quite worried, he still wanted to live a few more years.

"Yellow wine, have you eaten cheese?" He went to see the imperial physician, and the imperial physician shook his head, so he assured him that if the imperial physician said it was okay, it was basically okay.

"How much did you spend?" Yao Chong wanted to know how much it cost to win a war.

"How to calculate? We spent more than 700,000 strings of cash before, and the battle is not over yet. Indirectly calculate the technical cost..."

"More than 700,000 strings of cash, how much did the court spend?"

Yao Chong didn't want to hear about the technical cost. Technology has no cost. You made it yourself.

"Old Yao, please respect the efforts of the researchers. The court is not spending much money now, except for shipbuilding, including the materials of weapons.

When this battle is over, the court will gradually invest more than 5 million strings of cash. I can't continue to invest money in winter.

We need to occupy the entire Yellow River Basin, Sister Lake, do you know which Sister Lake it is?"

Li Yi estimated that the court's investment is not much at the moment.

It will gradually increase later. It is easy to attack a place, but it is difficult to defend an occupied area.

There must be many castles, not military camps. In winter, the source of the Yellow River is freezing to death.

The air pressure is low, the temperature is low, the wind is strong, and the ultraviolet radiation is strong. Many things need to be sent from the back to the front.

"What does Long Ze say?" Yao Chong did not answer Li Yi's question. He used to be the Minister of War.

He is not Su Yan, who knows nothing when he first takes office.

He also took over the prime minister's book from Tubo, so how could he not know about Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake.

He even knew how Tubo would counterattack if the Yellow River Basin was occupied.

Li Yi also poured himself some wine: "What can Lao Bi say? This year, with the things from Henan Prefecture, the Ministry of Households can get 30 million strings of cash in addition to the normal rent."

"Last year, there was no such thing, less than 20 million strings of cash." Li Rizhi thought of the previous financial situation.

"Last year, Jingzhao Prefecture did not have as many people as now, and the Yellow River was not navigable last year.

The economic situation of the people determines the demand for goods, and the demand for goods determines the number of supplementary foreign goods.

The number of foreign goods determines the tax revenue. Jingzhao Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, the two capitals, have a total consumption of only 30 billion coins.

When more cement plants are built, if the additional fiscal revenue this year does not reach 30 million strings of cash, it means that someone is evading taxes."

Li Yi mentioned the cement plant. No matter who invests in the cement plant, if it is built, taxes must be paid. If not, the plant will be confiscated.

"Xiao Yi, it's a bit much." Yin Sizhen calculated that Henan Prefecture could not give so much money.

After going back and forth, he saw the general situation of Henan Prefecture. The people were indeed raising chickens, and even raising maggots, because there were not enough locusts.

"Yes, within two months, I will earn back the tax deduction money, and then sell things. I am prepared to contribute 4 to 5 million strings of cash for 80% tax."

Li Yi was sure that he had new things coming out, which would be bought by merchants and sent to various places for sale.

"You want to sell mirrors?" Yao Chong's voice was so loud that everyone around heard it.

He was excited, and he didn't want Li Yi to sell a lot of mirrors.

For him, or for all the important officials, once Li Yi started selling mirrors, it meant that there was no other way.

Sometimes they would make a little trouble for Li Yi, but they didn't want Li Yi to go to the step of selling mirrors.

"Don't get excited. I won't sell the mirror. I have something. Let's drink.

The messenger who came back from the front line said that military kettles are prone to rust.

Copper kettles are more likely to rust, and iron kettles need maintenance. When fighting, we have to think about maintaining kettles, which is putting the cart before the horse.

Tin plating or galvanizing technology should be used, or even aluminum as I made it.

But, each one is not easy, and I am also in a difficult situation. They need something, either a lot of materials or electricity.

You said that you made aluminum, but you can't mass produce it, you can only have a little, right..."

Li Yi muttered and stopped here, he reacted.

He can only make electrolytic aluminum in the laboratory, but the price of aluminum used to be more expensive than gold, and it was extracted chemically at that time.

Now he can extract aluminum by chemical methods, but it is not worth it.

Can aluminum also be sold at a very high price? As for carcinogenicity, the aluminum toothpaste and aluminum kettles used every day in the past, how many people have cancer caused by this?

"Let me think about how to use it. In the whole world, only I can make aluminum now, how to use it?" Li Yi muttered to himself.

Someone nearby was about to speak, but Yao Chong pointed over and signaled the other person not to move.

Under the light, the people in the team saw Yao Chong's finger and quickly held back.

"Let's transfer Zhang Jiuling back next year and replace Bi Gou. Old Bi is too tired. Send someone new. I want to speak."

Li Yi thought about it and actually mentioned Zhang Jiuling.

"Long Ze will not agree. He would rather die in this position. Seeing that the court's finances are getting better, how can he be willing to leave?"

Lu Huaishen advised Li Yi not to move Bi Gou into the group, as Bi Gou might get sick because of it.

He could only advise, and it would depend on Li Yi's idea in the end. Li Yi was determined to put people into the group, and no one could stop him.

Li Yi frowned: "I have to talk to Lao Bi, either let him go, let the people below do it, and rest more, or join the group."

"Let's talk to him too." Liu Youqiu approved Li Yi's method. Bi Gou almost died before, what if he was exhausted to death?

The people in the other teams turned around and went back to eat. They once again confirmed who had the final say in the Tang Dynasty court.

"What will those people be sentenced to in the end?" Li Yi looked at the position of a group of people in Hezhou. ＵU看书ｗww.uukanshu.net

"Women go to the palace to work, adult men... beheaded! Old children are strangled, and young children are either pardoned or enter the palace." Li Rizhi gave the final outcome of those people and their families.

The crime is too serious, treason, killing important officials, resisting the emperor's orders, enslaving good people...

The other crimes found in the administrative field are considered minor, and they should be considered when sentencing. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there are any.

To put it bluntly, the crime those people committed is rebellion. What is the result of rebellion?

"If I don't take out the location of the iron and coal mines, this won't happen." Li Yi sighed.

"If you don't eat, you won't choke." Yao Chong despised, he didn't believe that Li Yi was soft-hearted.

When they passed by Lantian County, the local officials had made a report, and then continued to mine.

Now you sigh? You are the cat crying over the mouse.
