"The minister knows, the minister will go to dinner next time, don't ask about anything, and in two days I will see how the minister's teeth are set and recheck."

Bi Gou was reluctant, so he wanted to ask.

Anyone who meets such a person, can he resist not asking?

However, he decided to chat, His Majesty was not allowed to cause trouble to Xiao Yi.

Let's eat and eat, we chatted happily in Henan Mansion.

"It's not allowed to talk about people's livelihood and government affairs, otherwise we will talk about problems when we chat. Come on, go and invite Yao Qing and them. ”

Li Longji feels that chatting is not safe, what can the minister talk about when he chats?

Then Brother Yi listened and would give solutions to the problems encountered in the chat.

Bi Gou nodded, and sat there depressedly, waiting for Yao Chong and them to come over.

The prime minister's office is close to the Xingqing Palace, dozens of steps away.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive and bow first.

This historical An Lushan was arrogant, did not salute, and was reminded that he bent his waist down.

"Sit down, are you still busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China?" Li Longji said politely.

"Your Majesty." Yao Chong was just about to sit down, but when he heard Li Longji ask, he stopped again: "Your Majesty, the Turkic and other departments of Honglu Temple, the Prime Minister's book." ”

"What?" Li Longji asked.

"Seeing that the Li family Zhuangzi lacked horses in the newspaper, they were willing to provide some, but 5,000 horses were too much, and they wanted to reduce it to 1,000."

Yao Chong looked like he was reporting seriously, but he actually had a smile in his eyes.

They know what's going on, Li Yi killed other people's people, and he was not in a good mood enough, so he went to scare people and rob them.

Robbery is not a drop, but robbery of the Turks they are the right drop.

"Send someone to Zhuangzi to ask and see what price Li Yi pays." Li Longji thinks that it is a trivial matter, as long as the other party is willing to give, the quantity will be discussed slowly.

It means that those people are afraid, otherwise they can not speak up.

Others can exchange dozens of horses from the outside, and the court has rewards.

Brother Yi opened his mouth for 5,000 horses, and the other party was able to return 1,000 horses, what kind of fright?

Zhang Shuo looked at Bi Gou, then at Li Longji, and got up: "Your Majesty's recruitment of ministers and waiting for him to come over is a matter for the household department?" ”

"Bi Qing said it." Li Longji nodded to Bi Gou.

"Mine, iron ore, I ate lunch in Li's Zhuangzi, and Li Yi gave two iron ores.

One said that there was more ore in it than the mines in Datang combined, and the other was more than sixty percent of iron.

Li Yi drew a picture, and I hurried back and said that I knew with His Majesty. ”

Bi Gou is still excited, and he speaks with a trill.

"Li Yi gave the mine again?" Yao Chong's voice was very loud, and he said another word, what he gave last time was a gold mine, which belonged to His Majesty.

This time I actually gave it to the household, uncomfortable, wow, why don't you want to think about me, the prime minister?

Next, a group of ministers discussed who to send to the mine to take charge of, and where to find people for the big mines.

The small ones will be sent to see them today, and if they are true, the big ones will be true.

Li Yi in the Zhuangzi didn't think about mining, he opened a canned lychee.

These days, it is not easy to eat a lychee in Chang'an.

You can't eat it fresh, you can only taste it.

The large porcelain bottle, pulled off the cork, poured a pot of lychee and sugar water.

Look at the color, taste it again, it's not bad.

The core of the lychee is plucked out and eaten in the mouth...... It's not as delicious as raw.

But it always ate lychees, not dried lychees or preserved fruits.

"Open a few more and serve them to the kids." Li Yi tasted one and didn't eat it, and the taste was a little worse.

Children love canned food, sweet ones are willing to eat it, and sweet and sour canned hawthorn is preferred.

Thinking of hawthorn, Li Yi said to the palace maids and eunuchs: "Remember to tell Steward Song to buy more hawthorn this year and make it into hawthorn slices and hawthorn cakes."

All the others were sealed and stored in the cellar, last year there were not enough sugar gourds to eat, only the eldest brother had more sugar gourds.

You have to eat until the beginning of spring, and when the time comes, you will take turns to go back and bring a few more skewers. ”

"Thank you, proprietor." The palace maid and the eunuch said together.

Their status in the palace is now very high, not only are they trusted, their families are settled, but more importantly, they have something to bring back every shift.

The concubines, talents, and so on of other palaces, if they want good things, they have to send someone over.

When you get in touch with them, you can get a lot of useful information.

The people of this palace don't talk about the situation of their own palace, they will talk about other things in the palace.

Two days later, several fast horses galloped back to the imperial city from Xuyu County, and the people on the horses shouted 'urgent information' and rushed all the way in.

It wasn't until the government hall was close that the people jumped down, and several people stood outside with happy faces and shouted: "I found the mine, I found the iron mine in Xugu County." ”

It didn't take long for them to be brought in.

"How? You don't need to refine it to know that it's iron ore? "Yao Chong's three are in the hall.

"Yes, we brought back the ore, look at this, it's clearly a piece of iron."

The messenger brought out a few stones of their choice and placed them on the table.

The average quality of the county is more than 60 percent, and some ores are the same as iron.

Moreover, it is magnetite, which means that it contains less other impurities, and it can be refined directly without the need for a blast furnace.

Datang's smelting process likes this kind of iron ore the most.

"Sure enough, Li Yi opened his mouth well, okay." Zhang said comfortably, the big iron mine on the other side, directly send someone to find it, and then mine it.

"Change someone as a reward, it's just Li Yi ......" Lu Huaishen thought about the reward.

Li Yi is the third grade of the official of Wensan, and then the doctor of Guanglu is from the second grade.

There are two more above, the special advance of the second product, and the opening of the house from the first product with the third division.

After the seal is over, he will take things out again, and then seal the military officials? Anyway, the real power officer can't give it.

"You don't need to seal it, others can't seal it, he doesn't have any requirements in this regard." Yao Chong can see it.

"Let's dig it, we can add a lot of iron to Datang again." Zhang said that he looked at the iron ore on the table and was in a happy mood.

Li Longji was also in a good mood at this time, and news came from Honglu Temple, and the Turks and Li Yi reached an agreement.

Li Yi didn't want 5,000 horses, and the other party didn't say 1,000, but took a middle number, 2,500 horses.

However, it is impossible to deliver it within three months, it takes four months, one time to go, and the delay on the middle road is time.

Two thousand five hundred horses, which is not easy to buy with money, was even compensated to Li Yi.

"Now that there is iron ore, and in a few months there will be more horses, and then all kinds of firearms will be accumulated, plus hot air balloons......"

Li Longji pondered the strength he would have in a few days, wondering whether to take advantage of the winter in Tibet and the Turks to beat them once.

In the summer, they can farm there, but in the winter, no matter how warm it is, it will snow heavily, and their people face difficulties in life.

Sending troops at this time has high requirements for the Tang sergeants, and it is even more difficult for Tubo.

"Go and ask Brother Yi if he thinks it's appropriate to send troops." Li Longji suppressed the sudden desire.
