Chapter 2682: New Department Selects Candidates

The airships in the sky flew back and forth, and except for Mengshe Zhao, all the other five Zhaos flew there.

Vaccinate them. Fortunately, the road was difficult to travel, and the spread of smallpox was blocked. Three of them did not get smallpox.

In history, the five Zhaos all listened to Tubo and fought against the Tang Dynasty.

So Li Longji began to support Mengshe Zhao, which was the southernmost of the six Zhaos.

By 738, seventeen years after Li Yi was in 721, Mengshe Zhao completed its unification, and Li Longji appointed Piloge as the King of Yunnan.

After that, Nanzhao began to fight with the Tang Dynasty for many years.

There is no need to say much about the people of the five Zhaos who got smallpox. They were scared and were treated. Whatever the Tang Dynasty said was what it was.

When the Tang Dynasty vaccinated the other three Zhaos, they chatted and said that they were not afraid of other viruses, and Li Dongzhu could cure them.

Li Dongzhu not only could cure them, but also had many viruses in his hands, and could help you, the governors appointed by the Tang Dynasty, to poison the enemy at any time.

In order to cooperate better, the Tang Dynasty will establish the Yunnan Protectorate locally, and you will be promoted.

You were kings in your local area, and you were called governors in the Tang Dynasty. Now you are the governors of the Tang Dynasty's Governor's Office.

The Tang Dynasty's Yunnan Protectorate manages the Governor's Office. Soldiers are sent here, and other administrative personnel are here to help you develop the economy and manage public security.

You are relieved. Seeing that your people are not living well, the Tang Dynasty provides plans.

Are you happy? Are you so happy that you want to cry?

There are only four kings left alive in the Five Kingdoms. Isn't that where Li Yi stayed! He died of smallpox.

They really want to cry. The Tang Dynasty is playing rogue! What is the Protectorate? Your soldiers and officials are coming, and our words are useless.

Selling slaves to you will reduce our manpower, and we will lose our advantages in work and war.

Originally, we hoped that the geographical location and climate could prevent it, but you have anti-malaria pills, floral water, and mosquito coils.

After the Yulin Flying Cavalry helped hunt down the beasts that threatened people, the four kings expressed their happiness. They were so happy that they wanted to cry to celebrate.

"Brother Yi, what about Mengshezhao?" Li Longji had a video call with Li Yi.

"I will go to Mengshezhao in person after I have treated several patients with other symptoms.

After taking down the six Zhaos, I will go back to take over the Northeast. There are many resources in both places, and there is a large iron mine nearby.

There are many iron mines in the Tang Dynasty, including those with other metals. There is one in Qiongzhou. The reserves are not the largest, but the grade is very high.

A piece of stone is half iron, and some are more than two-thirds. Don't rush to dig it.

The iron ore and associated minerals here are powerful, and the titanium ore among them is the best in the world.

There is one in the Jiangnan West Road, Ezhou, southeast of Wuchang, with a small population, so it is not cost-effective to dig it now.

Currently, the one being dug is in Suzhou in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The large iron mines there can't be mined out even if you dig for a hundred years.

There is an iron mine in the grassland, above the Anbei Protectorate, with a lot of rare earths, which will be used in the future.

There is a large iron mine in Hebei Road, located north of Lulong County and Shicheng County in Pingzhou.

The other two large ones are all in Andong Protectorate, where the coal produced in one place is good, and you can get amber and coal ore by digging casually.

The two mines produce iron, and as long as the local transportation is repaired, the steel plant can be built at will.

In addition to iron mines, there are also special copper mines, aluminum mines, tin mines, gold mines..."

Li Yi introduced why they should be occupied, and why did Shu use a lot of iron coins during the Song Dynasty?

There is little copper, not enough, Shu itself has iron mines, and Panzhihua's iron mines are even more powerful.

Li Yi said this, and the people on the other side swallowed their saliva at the big screen, greedy.

It turns out that Datang has so many good mines, Yunnan has many, Northeast China has many, oh, and the places occupied by Silla are also rich.

Some of the ore names I have never heard of, anyway, as long as they are good things, it's fine.

"Xiao Yi, why didn't you say it earlier?" Bi Gou wiped his saliva.

"What's the difference between saying it earlier and now? There is no manpower to dig, and the existing mines are enough.

Hao Lingquan is a good person. Send him here to be the Protector General. When there is a specific need for combat, the Yulin Flying Cavalry will be responsible.

I am worried that other generals will kill indiscriminately. Hao Lingquan is outstanding in diplomacy, and the students from Zhuangzi will be in charge of local governance."

Li Yi first determined the candidates and used the best steel on the blade.

Local officials in other parts of the Tang Dynasty couldn't do anything even if they wanted to, because there were many patrol teams.

"Yes!" Li Longji agreed. He didn't need to trust anyone. At most, the airship troops would be dispatched.

Other ministers actually wanted to arrange people who had a good relationship with them. Seeing that Li Yi had decided, they could only think about arranging deputies.

A Protector General's Office cannot be supported by one person. There must be a large number of administrative personnel.

When making arrangements, you must tell the person you find, don't act on your own, listen to Hao Lingquan, and see what the Yulin Flying Cavalry and Zhuangzi students mean.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, guessing who the others could arrange, whether there was any exchange of interests, and the people they arranged had to keep an eye on the people arranged by the other party.

Gao Lishi and Yang Sixu looked at each other, then turned their heads away. They each had their own people, and arranged eunuchs there.

Not to mention Queen Wang and others in the harem, everyone had their own considerations.

…

Next, the imperial examination began, and the questions were given.

This year, no one applied for the Tongzi and Xiucai subjects, nor for other subjects, all of them were Jinshi subjects.

It was agreed that adjustments would be made. This year, there were many questions, and the Jinshi subjects included a large number of other subjects.

One exam lasted five days. If you are willing to answer other questions, you will lose a lot of points in the Jinshi subject, and if you fail the Jinshi exam, you will be arranged for adjustments in other subjects.

In this way, the imperial examination is simpler and the selection is more comprehensive.

The subject of the Jinshi exam is full marks, and the ranking will be arranged based on other contents.

The Qingming Festival of the solar calendar, April 6, and the second day of the third lunar month, the imperial examination begins.

Li Yi flew a helicopter to Mengshezhao on this day to talk to the other party. If the talk doesn't go well...

Mengshezhao is located in a part of Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County during Li Yi's time, including the Bai people in the Erhai Lake area in the north.

The local temperature is not like Chang'an, which is still cold in spring, and it is warmer than Luoyang.

It looks... There are no unexpected surprises. There is no shortage of beautiful places in the Tang Dynasty now.

There are mountains and waters everywhere, except deserts and Gobi.

"Li Lang, will there be a conflict this time?"

Princess Yongmu was worried on the helicopter. The other side has more people. Her team only has 20,000 people, while there are more than 150,000 soldiers there.

There are also reserve personnel, and everyone is a soldier. Once a fight breaks out, Li Yi may exchange things.

"No, Pi Luoge is a very easy man to talk to.

I don't bully his female relatives, and I don't care if he asks for money.

He should give it to them on his own initiative. We have different identities, and we are going to help them get vaccinated."

Li Yi is sure that the other side does not have enough people, which is different from modern warfare.

In modern warfare, if you want to kill a person with bullets, it takes an average of tens of thousands of bullets.

It is not necessary to fight Nanzhao, the range is different, and the water beads are slowly aimed. If the enemy dares to charge in groups, they will only die.

Facing the Yulin Flying Cavalry, you will have to kneel down even if you command the enemy's army.

Dig trenches, dig traps, and then you still have to fight with bows and arrows and swords and spears? Shields can't stop bullets.
