Chapter 309: Gifts from Top to Bottom (Fourth Update)
Zhuangzi's cars and rented cars formed a long procession to go north around Huangzhuang and head to Caoqu.
The Caoqu is not far from Zhuangzi, and when they arrived at the place, there were already thirty large cao boats of 5,000 stone waiting.
They belong to the way back, bring a small number of Chang'an specialties, and then go to other places to transport things from all over the country to Chang'an, mainly grain.
Theoretically, unless the imperial court needs it, the boat should be emptyed.
The so-called empty boat refers to the boat that puts stones, and the ballast is used, otherwise it is easy to capsize when it enters the place where the Yellow River is turbulent.
Especially where Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi are located.
Those who are in charge of Cao Yun are reluctant to only load stones, and some businessmen will contact them and help bring things and people.
They also bring it themselves, and then sell it for money, and the officials naturally take advantage of it.
Li Yi knew that he could spend money, but he didn't know how to mobilize thirty ships at the same time, there were too many ships, right?
"Li Dongzhu, Li Dongzhu, I, Fan Fan, Your Majesty said that you have the weapon of the country, and I am afraid that you will encounter danger, so I and others are here."
A large group of men and horses came out of the corner of the nearby dock, and the battalion commander in front shouted.
"Your Majesty sent the Yulin Flying Horse to protect me?" Li Yi turned his head and asked the eldest brother.
Li Chengqi looked dazed, and thought about it: "It is estimated that it is a matter of gunpowder, and there are other tools of Linong, and the Yichengli in the heavens and the earth on your side has never moved, and I want to come to Your Majesty to ponder letting you raise people for a while." ”
"Oh~~" Li Yi suddenly nodded and said: "Then I can use that money, I have an account." ”
The five hundred feathers of the forest are five hundred people, but the horses are one thousand five hundred.
Military horses eat differently from ordinary cart-pulling horses.
If you don't use the money in heaven and earth, you will lose panic.
"Go back to fetch the material, feed the horses, use how much material to use, compare the price, and move it from the separate warehouse to the warehouse of Zhuangzi." Li Yi said to Song De, who was following him.
Song De expressed his support, yes, he couldn't use Zhuangzi's money.
The people on the boats on the canal began to hang their sails, regardless of what they did on the shore.
Take people from Chang'an to Luoyang, a boat for 200 yuan, and take money to do things.
If it weren't for the livestock and poultry, there would be fifty taels to bring along the way, saving the time of moving the ballast stone.
The waterway goes around, a road of 1,800 miles, sails and streams, and there is a ten-day arrival.
After unloading the goods and people, washing the boat, and running a trip, everyone got more money than half a year's income.
"Big brother, my brother wants to pay 6,000 yuan for this room?" Li Yi watched the horse being led onto the boat and found that the fare was too expensive for a run.
"Horses' boats, you use the dividends of heaven and earth." Li Chengqi told Li Yi to continue to count separately.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to do this, oh, I mean, Your Majesty is gracious."
Li Yi felt that he didn't need anyone to protect him, someone really wanted to die, and he was sniping at a fixed point thousands of kilometers away.
He used to accompany his clients and their children to many of these shooting clubs.
It is difficult to play sniping in China, and if you go abroad in a tourist group, as long as you give money, take a tank, and shoot with machine guns, there is no problem.
"After passing through our hands, the things sent up are too precious, and we are close to Your Majesty, especially the medicine, the queen has a ......"
Li Chengqi is giving an explanation, as thorough as possible.
"Well, I used to be for the people and the country, who made me an official."
Li Yi said helplessly that his civil and prose official was also said to be an official.
Li Chengqi immediately echoed: "Brother Yi, the prime ministers all know about you." ”
"If one day I can't give a good idea, will I just ......," Li Yi suddenly asked.
"There's no good idea, you still have medical skills." Li Chengqi said.
"What if all those things are broken, and there are no more?" Li Yi asked again.
"You still have a heart for the people, and you still have the ability to fight. The prime ministers are not so powerful, aren't they also prime ministers?
We still have a big deal to cooperate with, even if you can't get up from bed, your brother and others will take care of you. ”
Li Chengqi patted Li Yi's shoulder and said solemnly.
"I don't want to lie in bed waiting to be taken care of, I still have good things." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Like the hemp workshop?" Li Chengqi has always been worried about it in the past two days.
"Yes, that one can be blended, and after using new technology to treat hemp, it is soft and comfortable." Li Yi nodded.
He really didn't lie, he looked like a storyteller, but in fact the technology exists.
"When you come back, let's work together again, today's hemp is really not good, and the clothes are worse than silk." Li Chengqi touched the clothes on his body.
"Actually, the most comfortable thing is cotton." Li Yi thinks that pure cotton is good.
As long as the textile process comes up, the pure cotton one is more comfortable to wear on the body than any other.
He remembered something about another place, for a while, cotton was not worn, but had to be worn really good (polyester).
Then the mechanical watch is not good, and you have to wear an electronic watch.
Later, I found that it was still better than cotton, but the price was also expensive, and the same was true for mechanical watches.
"That being the case, we need to grow cotton this year." Li Chengqi believes that whatever Li Yi says is what he is, and he does not deceive people.
Fan Fan took the men and horses on the boat separately, with a large spacing to make enough space for the horses.
Sometimes the horse will lie down to rest, not all standing.
There is also a gap between the chickens and ducks in a cage, and there are piglets who have been expressing uneasiness.
Large iron pot, coke, soy sauce, fermented bean curd, stinky tofu, toilet water, soap, soap......
Many goods were to be sold in Luoyang, which is now the eastern capital.
When I went downstream, I came back with a slender man in a dangerous area.
Luoyang is a big city, and you can make a fortune by going there.
Some farmers and migrant workers, people from Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang helped carry poultry cages and goods.
Others give things to the boatmen, and the coolie boatmen will stuff them directly into their arms.
Boiled eggs, salted duck eggs, braised pork.
The higher the offer, the better, including wine and soap.
The money for the boat goes to the boat, the things go to the things, and the people at the bottom don't get much money, give them something to eat, and they will be happy.
Stuffed into the bosom is to make sure that the things belong, otherwise they are all piled up with the 'captain', and the captain may not distribute them.
In Li Yi's eyes, there is no idea that little people should not give gifts.
Always give gifts to the doorman, the doorman will let your car go in and park, and after a long time, the uncle will reveal to you the rules of the activities of key leaders.
The same goes for the boatman, who promises to come in advance before sailing to a position where the current is strong.
Tell you about the experience of coping with shaking, and take advantage from you by the way.
Both sides are facilitated, so why not.
The people on Li Yi's Zhuangzi have used this ability perfectly, and they all rely on Li Yi's teaching.
At the moment, there is no cigarette, otherwise packets of cigarettes will be stuffed through, and then scattered cigarettes will be smoked.
Everyone smoked together and exchanged feelings.
Li Yi didn't look silent, he didn't talk to the boatmen at the lower level, and kept a sense of mystery, otherwise he would be looked down upon.
The crew who got the things was really smiling, patting their chests as if assuring the dealers of something.
Li Chengqi looked at it and expressed his admiration, it was so natural to give benefits, no wonder Brother Yi wanted to lead the team over in person.
I believe that when the ship arrives at the place, the officials in Luoyang will soon reach an agreement with Brother Yi.
By noon, the items had not yet been moved.
The people in the Zhuangzi brought food and beckoned everyone to eat together.
"Big brother, let's also eat two bites, buns, don't drink too much water, otherwise you will swing on the boat." Li Yi took a basket of steamed buns and said to Li Chengqi.
