"What kind of music are they practicing?" On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Chengqi came over for lunch.

He heard the tunes practiced by the 'everyone' of Nanqu and had no impression.

"Colorful clouds chasing the moon, tomorrow night to perform a song and dance." Li Yi brought his own spicy fried haggis to the table.

The Tibetans asked if they could replace the 2,500 military horses with other cattle and horses. Li Chengji brought new news.

"It is impossible for them to give military horses, and they will be replaced with 5,000 cattle and horses over one year old and under three years old, and there is no problem with them."

Li Yi never thought that Tubo could give military horses, hostile, Tubo wanted technology, not capital.

If you can pick out a little bit, it's useless to kill the envoys of Tubo, otherwise you would have killed them a long time ago.

"They said they wanted you to show you how a rainbow can appear in a glass and half a glass of water. Otherwise, they won't approve of your question. ”

Li Chengqi actually wanted to know the same thing, so he couldn't bear to ask.

"When they finish buying the cattle and horses, I'll show them how simple it is." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Danzhou, Qiongzhou, Yazhou, Wan'an Prefecture, Zhenzhou, the history of the five states, is it still done by the locals?"

Li Chengqi said that it was a trivial matter.

There are five prefectures in Datang on Hainan Island, and the locals are used as thorns, and they can't collect any rent, only Tugong.

Don't look poor in the local area, but Tugong is not bad.

There are gold, silver, pearls, tortoiseshell, kelp, five-colored rattan plate, and Zhan sugar incense, which is medicine.

Every year, some will be raised and sent to Li Longji.

The Tang Dynasty couldn't manage the place at all, the population was small, and the people who lived in the middle of nowhere were said to be counties, but in fact they were all villages.

Officials sent from other places to the past, and the officials refused, and the officials were able to refuse the appointment.

When they collected Tugong, they sent people to take a small boat and cross the Qiongzhou Strait to Leizhou.

If anyone wants to make trouble, Datang will send troops to requisition.

There are so many people in total, and they will be beaten down in one dozen.

After the fight, the local government promised not to make trouble anymore and to restore it to its original state.

It's really not possible to go all the way to the mountains, the tropical climate, and ordinary people are not adaptable.

"Use our officials to establish prestige, and teach the locals to read and write by giving things and bringing old newspapers."

Li Yi refused to allow the locals to govern the locals, and the imperial court would never be able to intervene.

Something was given, the locals cheered, divided, and then the locals who were still appointed were embraced.

"The local officials have trouble dealing with it, they have been removed from their official positions, they are not convinced, and they are making trouble behind their backs." Li Chengqi was embarrassed by this.

"Let them enter Chang'an, give a reward, the court will send people, you can't send a person to be a state assassin, you have to send a team of people."

Li Yi is familiar with dealing with the old forces, and he can transfer them out to bigger officials, and he can also enter Chang'an to meet His Majesty.

One state sends a team of people to take over all the positions.

"Was the previous handover of government affairs troublesome?" Li Chengqi still has questions.

"No handover, go with a lot of stuff, how much money could they have before? Just don't have it, start again. ”

Li Yi smiled and shook his head, the local area is poor, and what can be accumulated in a county is worth a hundred?

Give you 10,000 yuan, don't want 100 yuan.

Li Chengqi laughed: "I always forget the local situation, and I am afraid that after planting pepper, someone will encroach on it and incite the local people." ”

"Choose the good people of the land to form a soldier, and tell them that they are His Majesty's private army.

Toilet water can be delivered in batches, including drugs to treat malaria. There are poisonous snakes in the area, unfortunately I can't go over and extract the serum.

Send the poisonous snake back, make serum, and the preservation time is short, use realgar and garlic, there is actually a snake repellent in the local area. ”

Saying this, Li Yi stopped hesitating.

After eating two bites of food, he spoke: "There is an iron-rich mine there, with high iron content, and the locals don't know it, otherwise there will be weapons to use if the simple smelting method is directly mined." ”

Li Chengqi: "......"

"There's a lot of copper, and there's a good copper mine with the same high copper content." Li Yi added.

Li Chengqi took a deep breath, Li Yi was hesitant just now, and he was now sad.

"Brother Yi, it's too far to dig, otherwise it will be known by others, and they will find a way to fight."

Li Chengqi still has this bit of political wisdom.

"Yes! Then forget it, don't talk about it. Li Yi expressed understanding.

Hainan is the southernmost part, far away from Chang'an, and two iron ores have been given, which are enough for Datang.

Copper, now able to print money, is on the back burner.

Li Chengqi left with a stomach full of worries, and went to the students to see what they were learning before leaving.

"There are copper and iron ore in the local area, and the content is very high." Li Chengqi found Li Longji and tangled up the minerals there.

"Don't mine, don't talk." Li Longji even thought that others were going to fight.

"The students on the Zhuangzi chose commercial taxation, water army, Khitan economic and cultural exchanges, and ordnance research in terms of practicing Dan retort fu and current affairs."

Li Chengji changed the topic.

"The country has a good year." Li Longji smiled, this year's topic has been decided.

He knew that the literary talents of the two hundred and twenty students were not good, and even if they worked hard, they should not be able to compare with others in terms of talent, but they still couldn't compare.

Their most precious thing is to learn new knowledge from Li Yi, physics, chemistry, biology, special arithmetic, and economic knowledge.

What Datang needs is such officials, and it is enough to write articles that can be improvised and read.

"I'm afraid that they didn't memorize the seal well when they posted it, and if they didn't even go up to the second rank, they could only give it to the outer ninth-rate officials, or oblique officials."

Li Chengqi was worried, he was afraid that the students would not be able to do well in the most basic exams.

"Don't do it, the conditions in the Li family Zhuangzi are good, but you can't recite it, and your other talents are naturally mediocre."

Li Longji insisted that he must memorize what should be carried off.

Li Chengqi couldn't, so he sent someone to give Li Yi's answer to the Tibetan envoys.

"Five thousand cows and horses? A lot of money, but fortunately, there is no spring ploughing now, and many people can't afford to raise cattle and horses, so they take them out and sell them. ”

Isimba lay on the bed, analyzing the price of cattle and horses.

Bo Yan was worried: "I'm afraid that Li Yi will announce this matter, and the price will be too high when I wait for horses, cows and horses." ”

"No, it won't." Ishimba said firmly: "We only buy 5,000 horses, and those who sell cattle and horses will increase their prices, and those who are bought will be happy, and those who are not bought will drop their prices?"

The price is not reconciled, and they can't sell it if they don't reduce the price, they hate Li Yi, and Li Yi loses more than he gains. ”

"Since Li Yi is afraid, why don't we help say it." Bo Yan found an opportunity and pitted Li Yi's opportunity.

"Speaking of which, it costs several times more money to buy, and I can't afford it, Li Yi asked for five thousand cattle and horses, and tens of thousands of dollars were spent again."

Isimba glanced at his legs, he was very dissatisfied with Bo Yan, he was so timid, he was afraid that Li Yi would retaliate, so he actually broke his own legs.

Bo Yan didn't know, he smiled: "Li Yi is famous for his title, which can be regarded as giving us a reason, changing compensation into a competition, and going back to explain." ”

"I don't believe he can make a rainbow out of a glass and half a glass of water."

Isimba's repeated attempts were unsuccessful, and he didn't think Li Yi could do it.

"If he can't do it, can you give him back the cows and horses?" Bo Yan didn't want to give.

Because the assassination really had nothing to do with him, he didn't give the order, let alone know about it, and he was wronged.

"Look what he says." Ishimba decided to throw the question at Li Yi.
