Chapter 1749: Children's Welfare at the Border

The machine roared, and the finished rice flower sticks were put into bags.

The cloth bags for the noodles, if the quantity was not enough, paper bags were used, and the bag mouth was tied with a thread, and then brought back after the exchange.

The temporary hired people drove the carriage to twenty counties, and the ones in Chang'an were transported by Li's manor.

Everyone was to handle it with care, but they dared not throw it. The sticks were broken by throwing it, and the people were unwilling to exchange them unless they were discounted.

At noon on the second day of the Chinese New Year, 24 hours had passed.

The little girl sat on a pink hospital bed with cartoon patterns and opened her mouth to eat.

Li Yi fed, just fed the eldest disciple, and the second disciple next to him ate by himself, he was fine.

Li Fukuan, the county school of Lantian County, did not go back, and studied with his master.

"Master, I want to eat fried glutinous rice cakes." The little girl was eating pan-fried buns, and she felt that this was more like fried ones.

"Wake up, it's time to eat, don't dream. The previous dream will help you realize it. Except for a few remote counties in the Tang Dynasty, all other places can eat rice flower sticks."

Li Yi resolutely refused. What fried cakes to eat? Eating makes the stomach uncomfortable, and then affects the heart.

"Did I lose money because of my dream?" The little girl showed a guilty look.

"I made money. I thought the capital was enough for the children to eat. Who would have thought that adults also like to eat it.

Restaurants, teahouses, Pingkangfang, your grandfather Bi will probably ask me for taxes later."

Li Yi said with a smile that the literati eat the most, and the girls in Pingkangfang also eat it.

In the past, they ate popcorn made by popcorn machines, but now they have changed to new things.

The density of rice popcorn sticks is not as good as popcorn, and one catty of rice can make such a big pile.

Therefore, the price of one catty of the same rice for two taels of rice popcorn sticks is 7/8, and after deducting other expenses, there is a net profit of 6/8.

In other words, the gross profit is 700% and the net profit is 600%.

In a monopoly-like transaction, rice popcorn sticks are consumables.

The little girl raised her eyebrows: "Master, if we don't count the equipment, is there any way to avoid paying taxes?"

"Yes, I put additives in it, which is an additional cost, and the cost of additives can be used to offset the profit."

Li Yi certainly knew how to reasonably avoid taxes, but he didn't want to at this moment.

"Master, they go to the children to exchange? The price will be very cheap." The little girl helped the master to consider loopholes.

"The sticks they eat are rolled into round tubes, and the children eat straight ones. Once discovered, both adults and children can be punished."

Li Yi said something very unreasonable. Things that are cheap can only be given to children, and adults can eat them with their children at home.

Other business owners will fine you if they take out straight rice flower sticks. Which child exchanged for you? The child's family will be fined.

He is subsidizing the children, what does it have to do with adults?

The children outside are indeed very happy, rice flower sticks are cheap.

One pound of rice is exchanged for a lot of them, and the price paid is only one-eighth.

You have to burn a fire to steam rice at home, and eating rice flower sticks is equivalent to eating rice normally.

Without being taught, the child will break the stick into several pieces and use saliva to stick them into other shapes.

The child will eat a pound of sorghum for two meals, and then eat it for rice popcorn sticks, which can be eaten for several days.

"The court's expenditure is OK, and it can support a war against the Turks."

Bi Gou did not even consider asking Li Yi for the tax money for rice popcorn sticks. It was too little. Even if there were 100,000 kilograms of rice, Li Yi would get 800,000 kilograms of rice after making rice popcorn sticks, which was less than the amount of a meal for the people of Jingzhao Prefecture.

According to the average grain price after the current population has increased, it is more than 1,000 strings.

If you ask Li Yi for money, the unit should be 10,000 strings. 1,000 strings are considered money?

Besides, there is no 100,000 kilograms of rice popcorn sticks, unless all the people of Jingzhao Prefecture eat them.

Bi Gou estimated the money for the war. During the war, production could not be achieved, and many soldiers gave up planting, breeding, and handicrafts to help with transportation.

"My man confessed, the fourth Wang family was behind it, hum! Now it's no good, because of the important position, there is still power in the local area.

They didn't send people to cause trouble, they gave money, and wanted to take advantage of the war to get official positions and money."

Su Yan talked about people who insisted on making trouble at critical moments. His Majesty wanted to investigate, and took the people away directly, preparing to torture them to death.

In the end, there was no need to torture, and the other party confessed everything.

Actively provide evidence, correspondence, and write poems, like the letter Zhang Jiuling wrote to the Yanbang family in Shiyuan County when he was in Guangzhou.

It is impossible to convict, but you can find a reason to deal with people.

Su Yan has no time to spare. The fourth Wang family is not good now, so send someone to keep an eye on them. War is still the most important thing.

Song Jing shook the pigeon in his hand twice: "The captured people of the Later Turks confessed that after Mochu died, his son, the Little Khan, became the Khan.

Afterwards, he was destroyed by Queteqin, the second son of Mochu's elder brother Gudulu, and his eldest son, Mojilian, succeeded him.

Because the Tang army always went to disturb the border, the conquered tribes of the Later Turks and the tribes of the Western Turks were dissatisfied.

Fearing revenge from the Tang Dynasty, they wanted Mojilian to learn from the Khitan Li Shihuo and the Xi Li Dafang to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Mojilian was forced to do so, and his brother Queteqin sent troops to attack the Xi tribe, and returned with military merits to deter other tribes."

"The hard and soft strategy worked." Zhang Jiuling praised Li Yi.

The Turks wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, but Li Yi firmly disagreed and asked the Tianbing Army and the Yokono Army to go forward to harass.

The Turks could not stabilize their internal affairs, and the tribes had too many thoughts.

It turned out that they were the new Khan's personnel, elite!

Five thousand elite soldiers and more than ten thousand good horses were thrown on the battlefield.

"We must plant potatoes. We can't fight a losing battle." Bi Gou muttered.

He thought that the internal situation of the Turks was even more unstable, and the five thousand elite troops were gone! When other tribes knew about it, they would definitely have more ideas.

According to Li Yi's request, build a city there to stabilize the territory, and wait for the potato harvest to have more seedlings.

"Hurry up, thanks to our quick response."

Song Jing thought about leaving a name in history and took the credit for himself.

Zhang Jiuling glanced at him and said nothing.

Some time ago, the pigeons flew over, and everyone could only rely on the generals in front to act alone, and they were not familiar with the situation.

When the intelligence was sent to Lantian County by express horse, Gangrou directly mobilized a large number of people and attacked!

Now let's see, is it timely? Don't give the Turks a chance to breathe, when the news is passed, the army will be pressing.

People from other tribes are likely to cooperate and fight together, and fight back.

The only way for the later Turks is to retreat, lose the support of many tribes and retreat northward.

Thinking like this, he took a deep breath, "What a big chess game!"

"If it works well, other tribes will surrender. There is no need to really fight, just wait for the troops to arrive.

The best warriors can defeat the enemy without fighting. How is Qingdai? Get well soon!"

As the prime minister of the Minister of War, Su Yan felt powerless when facing Li Yi.

Luckily, Li Yi is not from another country, and he doesn't like to be an emperor, otherwise this world...

"Bohai, after cleaning up the Turks, there is no worry in the north for the time being. We should target Bohai. Bohai is located in a place with dense forests and many mountains. How about several protectorates?"

Bi Conceived that Li Yi asked to build several protectorates there, guarding key positions, and the Tang Navy could provide reinforcements at any time.

The layout started a few years ago, and it finally became clear. That's it!
