During the meal, Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong introduced Li Yi to the scenery of Shudi.

Li Yi had been there before, but at that time it was full of buildings, especially Chongqing was the most interesting, climbing the building, and finally climbed up and found that it was the first floor.

Now there are not so many buildings there, they are all mountains, except for Yizhou, where the city is relatively good, other places are very dangerous.

After cutting down trees and putting wooden rafts, many people die every year.

If you don't put it in the river, with land transportation, there will be more people who die of exhaustion and accidents.

"I just don't have a very easy road there, and I usually take the waterway to Chang'an, and I go around a big circle from the south below." Yang Huanjin said and drank wine, feeling that it was difficult to walk.

Huang Xianrong followed and said: "I heard that Li Dongzhu, you have a lot of good ways to build roads to Shudi......

"No, not really!" Li Yi shook his head, he couldn't think of any idea to build a big road from Sichuan.

There are now official roads, plank roads, mountain roads, and trails.

After many years, it will be said that the road is good, unless it is a railway, and it is still dangerous to drive away.

Road collapses, roadside mudslides.

In the case of machinery and equipment and population development needs, it is difficult to build a good Sichuan road.

What's more, now, the current population is small, and it can't be repaired.

"It's always better than it is now, right?" Huang Xianrong still hopes that Li Yi will be magical.

"In a few years, looking at the situation, maybe we can build a normal walking road and blow up the rocks directly, instead of chiseling, burning, and splashing water now."

Li Yi thought of using gunpowder to blow up, but it was still difficult.

When Datang encounters a big stone, it either winds around it, burns it if it can't get around, and splashes cold water when it is hot, and then the stone bursts down layer by layer.

"I'll be waiting for that." After hearing about it for a few years, Huang Xianrong didn't want to worry about it.

After eating, Li Yi gave each of them a small jar of hot sauce.

Together with a complete set of drawings and small models and dozens of normal tools, it was sent out of Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi began to vacate the warehouse, 1.5 million catties of salt, a lot of quantity.

Li Yi doesn't plan to sell, he is useful.

"Li Dongzhu is not the kind of person who bullies people." Yang Huanjin held a meeting after returning and said to the others.

Everyone nodded, anyway, 1.5 million catties of salt were given.

"Come on, let's discuss the matter of planting Shu pepper, I'll tell you......"

Huang Xianrong began to explain how much Li Yi wanted to buy and how to plant it in the future.

As long as those things are grown and supplied for a long time, they can make more money than the salt that is given out.

Hu beans, mustard pimples, and Shu peppers are worthless in Shudi, and there are many.

Shipped to other places to sell, bits and pieces are not enough for labor and ship money.

For example, this Chinese New Year was on the road, and as soon as they entered Chang'an, employees and helpers took a lot of money to go to the place where they were secretly greeted and consumed.

The big businessmen and stewards had money and entered Pingkangfang, but suddenly no one greeted them last night.

I couldn't find the woman when I went in, and I heard that the women in Pingkangfang found an excuse to refuse after knowing who offended Li Yi.

This time, I didn't find any excuses, I just didn't accept them, and I couldn't do it even if I had money.

"Go to the lively tonight, and the matter of 1.5 million catties of salt will be spread." Yang Huanjin decided to take everyone to play.

"Let's arrange the other salt first, if the local salt merchants lower the price, I can say it, no one is allowed to lower it." It was proposed.

They were worried that someone would use the excuse that they had offended Li Yi to lower the price.

Or that when the new well-drilling technology comes out, the salt of Shu will be cheaper in the future.

The real war began, and the negotiations were difficult.

Zhuangzi on the other end, Li Chengqi rushed over in the afternoon.

Seeing Li Yixian, he smiled: "Brother Yi, you have made a lot of money this time, right?" ”

"It's just a fair exchange, I'm not bullying."

Li Yi shook his head, he knew the rumors about him outside, the prime minister had a belly and convinced people with virtue.

"Yes, our Brother Yi has always been easy to talk to. It's just 1.5 million catties of salt, how long does Zhuangzi plan to eat it? ”

Li Chengqi helped to worry, the salt that people brought over from Shu last time could be used for Jingzhao Mansion for several months.

One-twentieth is considered a county with a small population, and there is still a surplus after half a year.

"In a few days, Zhuangzi's affairs will be arranged, and a lot of salt will be taken away. There is a shortage of manpower, and it needs to be hired from Chang'an. ”

Li Yi said that he had a plan and was about to leave.

The straight-line distance is more than 1,000 miles, plus the roads that go around and around, it is good to be able to get to the place in a month.

"Are you going to the eastern side of Taihang Mountain? It's better to use Caoyun, Caoyun is fast, contact you for your brother, and you pay. ”

Li Chengqi has already guessed some of the situation.

Hearing the eldest brother say that there was a boat, Li Yi thought of something.

"Big brother, if you use a boat from Ba Shui...... No way. Li Yi said half a sentence and vetoed it himself.

Bashui is connected to Weishui, Weishui connects the Yellow River, and the Yellow River goes to Henan and Hebei to pass through Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi, which is too dangerous on the road.

"Brother Yi, is there the worst drought over there?" Li Chengqi finally asked.

"Hmmm! The key is not the problem of drought, but the people, from top to bottom, officials, ordinary people, ignorance. ”

Li Yi has already determined, the drought, has not changed.

"What's the use of you going? It's still dangerous, it's better to stay on the Zhuangzi and arrange for others to go over. Li Chengqi persuaded.

He didn't want Li Yi to go too far, one was used to having Li Yi in Zhuangzi and he came over to play, and the other was safety.

"Big brother, do you still remember the program performed by the children during the Shangyuan Festival? Help spread the word over there, and vigorously publicize the matter of the couple of sons and women. ”

Li Yi didn't say anything about the non-stop travel, but mentioned the show.

When Li Chengqi heard this, he smiled: "Why do you still use me to spread it, it has already spread wildly, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes." ”

"Evil good." Li Yi smiled, since everyone is so superstitious, they will spread it big.

"In that case, I'll go and contact Caoyun for my brother." Li Chengqi agreed, without much delay, and ran away again on horseback.

When I got to the palace, it was a little dark.

"If he goes out, Yu Linfei will ride out five hundred, and he will take care of the expenses along the way, doesn't he still keep one percent of the profit and not spend it, give him a chance to spend it."

Li Longji knew the situation and said Li Yi with a smile.

"Uncle is timid, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will remember that there is still Yichengli outside." The queen laughed.

She already knew that Li Yi kept a separate account of the money given by heaven and earth, and then the copper coins and silk silk were also specially repaired and put into the warehouse.

looks like he's ready for others to come and pull him away, and he never dares to move a little.

Li Dan followed with emotion: "Only by acting like this can we act safely and know how to advance and retreat." ”

Doulu Guifei said distressedly: "That child is also strange and pitiful, he is not very old, taking care of a Zhuangzi and many people, and he is always worried about cooperation, this time the salt, I don't know if he will keep it alone." ”

Li Chengqi spoke up: "I estimate that Brother Yi will use it to do big things, others are greedy for money, but Brother Yi is unwilling to save a lot of money." ”

"Cao Yun is arranged, I hope he will go and return quickly, and he will not be delayed for too long." Li Longji glanced at Queen Wang's belly.

There are more than two more months to the day, in case ......
