Li Longji rolled up the map again, didn't look at it, and knew the location.

The importance of the Anbei Protectorate lies in the fact that as long as the army's baggage keeps up, the Turks will not dare to fight with the Dawu army.

The Turkic army ran to the Dawu army, and the Anbei Protectorate sent troops to directly pinch the Turkic back road.

In the past, the local area was mainly defensive, and the city was repaired, otherwise the supply of baggage would not be available.

The local population is small, resources are scarce, and agriculture is barely enough to survive.

If it weren't for the start of the war, the imperial court would not have sent things to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

The soldiers of the Anbei Protectorate solved it by themselves, and in this way they were not afraid of the Turks.

The Turks are also not well supplied, and they consume a lot of national strength when they fight once, and they annex while fighting.

Li Longji now can't go to the Yellow River to open the river immediately, because the water flow is huge.

He saw the power of capital in Li Yi, and he could do anything with money.

Isn't it just logistical supplies! Send it over, spend a lot of money to send it, and send it out......

"Brother Yi, do you have an approximate amount of money to transport military funds to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate?" Mr. Li wasn't sure how much money he would need.

Li Yi shook his head: "I haven't sent it, I won't know until I send it back." Third brother, we don't need a boatload of things to deliver, we can send half a shipload of military materials, and then load half a shipload of other things. ”

"The rest of the halfship is for sale? Unload half of it at the Northwest Metropolitan Protectorate, load it with local specialties, and continue upstream along the Yellow River.

When you go to a place upstream, what is lacking in the local area, the ship is specially loaded, you buy and sell with the locals, and then go up? ”

Li Longji is not stupid now, and he suddenly understands Li Yi's purpose.

As long as there are enough boats, the Yellow River can be transported from there to the sea.

What is lacking and what is lacking in various places upstream and downstream, you will know it with a trip.

Instead of losing their wealth by buying things, people along the route will increase their income by selling things that are worthless in the local area.

"Exactly." Li Yi nodded twice, that's what he thought about.

What the Yellow River needs is official input, and if it is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted.

"Thinking about it like this, for my brother's heart, Hukou Waterfall is inspected, it has been done, take the track, and travel by land."

Li Longji clenched his fists, he likes to be in the Li family Zhuangzi.

After encountering problems, Li Yi gave all the practical and feasible methods.

Give people a hope, a hope, as long as they do it, they will definitely succeed.

Queen Wang suddenly spoke up next to her: "It's a pity that the desert is too strenuous, even if there are camels, in special weather, people will die." ”

Li Yi smiled: "Sister-in-law, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is easy to cross the desert, and you don't need to wear it directly in the Mu Us Desert, walk from the side, the Gobi and loess next to it."

If you want to cross the desert, dig a well, build a large pond with cement, and put the water from the well into the pond and put a cover on it.

Now the Shatuo tribe is located in a location, there are culverts and wells underground, and there are open channels outside.

The location in the middle of the Mu Us Desert to the Kubuqi Desert, the terrain is similar to the soil, which can be dug out and stored for a long time. ”

Queen Wang thought for a while: "Dig a well for each section?" Plant trees around, send people to guard them, and the team will take that line when they come and go? Will it be crooked and unable to find a place? ”

Li Longji answered: "Use cement to repair the pillar, bury it in the sand, and watch the pillar go." After a while, I went to find my brother, the union of workers. ”

Li Longji arranged work for Li Chengqi's trade union, and he didn't care whether he wanted to celebrate the New Year or not.

Work like the New Year, and pay five times the salary.

"Third brother, the locals can be hired, even if it is to help push the windmill, and give more benefits to the locals."

Li Yi mentioned the recruitment of local workers.

"Yes, it should be." Li Longji reacted.

The locals are familiar with the situation and give them benefits, so that they can do their best to help.

When the well is dug out and paved all the way, the locals will use the road and maintain it naturally when they use it.

Maybe where there is a lot of well water, the locals will move in, saving the manpower of looking at the place.

"Then you can repair the city next to the well." Queen Wang added: "There are many wild animals in the area, especially wolves. ”

……

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the trade union recruits, from today onwards, triple the salary, go to the desert to dig a well, and if you don't come back for the New Year, you will be paid five times the salary."

"Selling newspapers, lalala, well workers in the trade union, four meals a day, meat at a meal, and one or two wines in the evening."

The next morning, the newsboys began to shout.

Less than the New Year, three times the salary, the New Year is generally counted from the beginning of the year, until the tenth day of the first month.

The annual leave of the imperial court is ten days, and seven more days are given to those who work.

Young and strong people are interested, such as those who work at the wharves when the Yellow River is passable.

They have a lot of strength, they know how to dig wells, push around, and they don't have to worry about technology.

After three months of drying, after the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is completely opened, I will return to the wharf for at least ten more months.

In the political hall of Xingqing Palace, Song Jing flipped through the newspaper and shook his head when he saw the above description of the water point through the desert.

"Labor and money, there is a way for the Yellow River waterway to cross the mouth of the Hukou, why bother to take the land route? If you go to the east bank of the Yellow River by land, and repair the road on the shore well, wouldn't it be easier than crossing the desert? ”

Song Jing found the problem, and he didn't go to the book, so he went straight to Li Longji.

Li Longji's criticism and revision of the chapter was mainly due to the fact that the local authorities wanted to build water conservancy, pacify the border people, and request that the border pass be strengthened in defense.

When Song Jing arrived, Li Longji finished dealing with another one and put down his pen: "Song Qing has worked hard, sit down." ”

Song Jing sat down, stood and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the minister wants to open up the desert road to the Northwest Protectorate?" ”

"Hmmm! The money comes out of me. Li Longji responded, directly talking about money, not going to the household department, it has nothing to do with you.

Song Jing was swallowed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to build the desert than to repair the road on the bank of the Yellow River. ”

He wanted Li Longji to use his own money to repair according to his ideas.

"Repair, on the east and west banks of the Yellow River, the original roads will be rebuilt, and the roads in bad condition will be selected in good places, or new technologies will be applied to repair."

Li Longji bowed, you are right, repair, I have money, all of them are cultivated.

Song Jing: "......"

He pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, why build the bridge? The Pujin Bridge transports large troops, which is too cumbersome. ”

"Song Qing doesn't know that the Pujin Bridge is being repaired? It will be repaired before the opening of the Yellow River next year, and maybe it will be just after the end of the New Year. ”

Li Longji expressed surprise, your prime minister is not clear about the actions of the imperial court?

The new bridge is still a cable pontoon bridge, which can be opened and put on the boat, and then connected, with large cement piers on both sides, to fix the iron cable on it.

Wait for more iron, use more iron to make a big iron ox and put it on, the concrete is easy to break for a long time.

"Your Majesty, if you have that money, why don't you build the road above the state capital of Jingzhao Mansion?" Song Jing found another thing.

"The money is from the Li family, and the men in the household are strong, and it is suitable to help repair the pontoon bridge in winter.

The road above Jingzhao Mansion is repaired in the spring, Bi Qing is in charge, and Wei Qing has discussed it properly. ”

Li Longji patiently explained and introduced Song Jing.

Song Jing took a deep breath: "The minister understands. ”
