Chapter 337: The Court Is Full of Troubles and One Person Recommends

Chapter 638: One person takes the blame for the court affairs (the third update)

"Uh! Goose~" In the Taiye Lake of Daming Palace, Yu'er was held by his mother and sat in a boat, pointing at another goose boat.

He really pronounced the word "goose" correctly, and Queen Wang was so happy that she kissed her son several times.

On the other goose boat were Yao Chong and his three people plus Bi Gou and Wei Zhigu.

Zhang Shuo was the youngest, so he sat on the low table in the middle of the goose boat to watch others play, and his posture was very awkward.

The day after the test results were announced, Li Longji came back with two goose boats, which were all the ships in the manor except the medium-sized ships.

The children in the manor wanted to play, but Li Longji asked them to go.

After the morning court meeting, Li Longji invited five people who had a "good" relationship with Li Yi to play.

In fact, he had to come to urge daily expenses, but he had to be busy after the imperial examination of the Ministry of Personnel.

Bi Gou found that he was not tired when he pedaled: "It turned out to be such a boat. Xiao Yi really put his mind to the right place."

"The Ministry of Works is responsible for repairing the water network, and the Ministry of Revenue will pay." Wei Zhigu was thinking about the money from the Ministry of Revenue.

"I will find King Song and hand it over directly to the Labor Alliance." Bi Gou did not want to give the Ministry of Works money, fearing that someone would embezzle.

"The Labor Alliance must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works, and King Song cannot bypass the Ministry of Works." Wei Zhigu did not give in.

"Your Ministry of Works should negotiate with the Labor Alliance first, and then the Ministry of Revenue will pay." Bi Gou made a request.

"The Ministry of Works wants to do the project, why should it go through the Labor Alliance?" Wei Zhigu disagreed.

"Tender, your Ministry of Works will bid." Bi Gou said with a smile.

Wei Zhigu sighed. No one else was qualified to participate in the bidding, so it was better to give it to the Labor Alliance.

Yao Chong, who had been pedaling there and experiencing the goose boat, relaxed his brows: "Once the steamship comes out, the transportation of materials on the main rivers will be more than three times more convenient."

"Ten times more." Lu Huaishen controlled the chopping.

He looked at another goose boat: "Other boats on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River can only rely on trackers. How many trackers are there?"

"If anyone of you is tired, let me help pedal two." Zhang Shuo asked while sitting cross-legged, but no one responded to him.

He touched the top of the goose boat with his hand: "There will be more such boats in Jingzhao Prefecture in the future. Even if it is a village more than a hundred miles away, a slightly larger boat is much more convenient than a car."

He thought of cattle and horses eating grass. When the grass grows, Lijiazhuang should charge an additional rental fee.

The wheel broke in the middle of the road, and the driver had to repair it.

The village more than a hundred miles away had to rest on the road at night.

The boat is bigger and carries more goods. Several people take turns pedaling, and they can eat and sleep on the boat at night.

People who carry loads and travel long distances can use the current boats. In one hour, even if they are against the current, they can run ten miles.

What's more, the water network has been built, and the water flow will not be turbulent.

A larger boat can carry eight people, and every two people take turns. One day and one night is enough to reach Chang'an.

How long would it take for a person to walk a hundred miles?

People can't carry others back and forth, right? Do you still want the goods?

Pedaling is different from walking. You can use the force when sitting there.

There are handrails on the side. It is especially labor-saving to hold the handrails and pedal.

You can even lean back and pedal half-lying.

The feet do not bear the weight of the whole body and the weight of the goods, but only the water resistance of the wheel.

Zhang said thinking, and laughed: "Oh, Li Yi, Li Yi, how did he figure it out?"

"This is simple, just like the waterwheel. Waterwheels also have pedals, when irrigating the fields." Wei Zhigu explained the principle.

"Old Wei, are you speaking from your heart? Why didn't you think of it? Waterwheels have been in use for many years."

Zhang said contemptuously, thinking it was simple only after seeing others make it.

According to this, drilling tools are also simple, just those structures, after they are built, you can understand them after taking a look.

There are also earth hullers for shelling. Anyone who sees them can do it. Before you see them, you don't know.

Wei Zhigu pedaled a few more times, signaling to Zhang Shuo to change positions.

He ran to the middle and sat cross-legged to watch, just in time to see the little guy next to him.

The baby looked up at him: "Goose, goose."

The little guy had an arm ring made of pig bubbles on each of his arms.

Even if he fell into the water, the lifebuoy on his arm would float vertically with him, with his head on top.

Instead of a lifebuoy, his head would be at the bottom if he was not careful.

Wei Zhigu waved to the little guy: "In the future, people on the boat will wear lifesaving equipment, Li Yi guarantees this requirement."

"The shed will be removed. There is a shed, but the wind is strong and I can't pedal." Yao Chong looked up at the shed of the goose boat.

Everyone had a taste of it, the little guy fell asleep, Li Longji's goose boat landed, and the prime ministers also pedaled to keep up.

When they got to the shore, a group of people surrounded them, all Taohong and the others, a total of three classes, twenty-four people.

The baby was put in the car, and they continued to push around.

No situation was allowed, and no one else was allowed to get close.

"Yuanzhi, should we cancel the Yonghe and Tiao of Jingzhao Prefecture?" Li Longji said to Yao Chong while walking slowly.

Even though the collection of rent is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, major matters still have to go through Ziwei Province.

"I know, grow cotton." Yao Chong accepted the order.

The purpose of growing cotton is to provide warm clothes for the soldiers in the northwest, and to bandage wounds.

In addition, cotton is the most suitable material for the wick of gunpowder, and cotton is a strategic material.

After collecting taxes, the court is not short of money, and the Yonghe and Tiao of the people in Jingzhao Prefecture are not important.

When the whole Tang Dynasty collects taxes in the future, the Yonghe and Tiao of the people in the whole Tang Dynasty can be exempted.

"Longze..." Li Longji looked at Bi Gou.

"I will start organizing people to build roads, houses, canals and water networks today." Bi Gou didn't need Li Longji to say anything more.

"Dao Ji, please arrange for the Ministry of Revenue to build a trade hall in Xuanyangfang, take out the things in the right collection and auction them, and tell others which place they are specialties from."

Li Longji gave Zhang Shuo another order.

"I will obey your order." Zhang Shuo had nothing to say. He thought of Li Longji's purpose, which was to help the local area sell things.

Li Longji was not in a hurry to review the memorials. He took the queen and his son to Baifu Hall and told his father and Concubine Dou Lu carefully.

The three prime ministers and two ministers looked at each other and found that they were old.

Now things in the court have always been promoted by Li Yi.

Others will be constrained when they come up with a plan. When Li Yi comes up with it, everything is arranged.

Help you make money and spend money by the way. When the money is in your hands, it may not be you who considers how to use it. People tell you.

"I feel that something big is going to happen, but I can't think of where it will happen." Yao Chong's sixth sense came again.

"It doesn't matter. Just get used to it." Lu Huaishen stopped thinking about what Li Yi was going to do. He was tired!

"Have you found good seedlings at Sinong Temple? We're waiting for them to increase the yield of the fields."

Wei Zhigu remembered that there was another problem with hybrid grains.

"Yes, more than 10,000 magnifying glasses have been distributed to them, they have organized the manpower, and your majesty has paid for it."

Zhang Shuo was also looking forward to it. Increasing grain production was an urgent matter.

Sinong Temple had enclosed a lot of land and planted a lot of things. As long as there was one that could increase production, the Tang Dynasty would plant it crazily.

Rice, wheat, sorghum, millet, soybeans, any one of which suddenly increased production by more than double would be fine, preferably three or five times.

"Who will go and talk to him about borrowing nearly 12,000 captives from the Ministry of Works." Wei Zhigu looked at others.

Everyone quickened their pace, busy, and left.
