Chapter 293 Future Action is a Foregone conclusion (third more)

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

Li Yi had been there before, but at that time it was full of buildings, especially in Chongqing, the most interesting, climbing stairs, 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 the better city in Yizhou, other places are very dangerous.

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

If you don’t put it in the river, rely on land transportation, more people will be exhausted and killed in accidents.

“My way is not so easy to walk. Chang’an usually takes the waterway and makes a big circle from the south below.” Yang Huanjin said, drinking wine, feeling the difficulty of the road.

Huang Xianrong followed: “I heard that Dongzhu Li, you have many good ways to build roads to Shu…”

“No, indeed not!” Li Yi shook his head, he couldn’t think of any idea to build a road from Sichuan.

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



After so many years, the roads should be said to be good there, unless it is a railway, other people driving away will still be dangerous.

Road collapse, roadside mudslides.

With that kind of mechanical equipment and population development needs, a good road is difficult.

What’s more, now that the population is small, it can’t be repaired.

“It’s always better than it is now, right?” Huang Xianrong still hoped that Li Yi would be magical.

“In a few years, look at the situation, maybe you can build a normal walking road and blast the rocks directly instead of chiseling, burning, and splashing water now.”

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

When Datang encountered a big rock, it would either go around or burn it if it couldn’t go around. When it was hot, cold water would be splashed, and then the stones would explode layer by layer.

“I waited and I was looking forward to it.” Huang Xianrong didn’t want to worry about it after hearing it for a few years.

When the meal was over, Li Yi gave a small pot of hot sauce to two of them.

Add a complete set of drawings, small models and dozens of normal tools, and send them to Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi started to vacate the warehouse, 1.5 million catties of salt, which was quite a lot.

Li Yi does not intend to sell, he is useful.

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

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

“Come here, everyone discuss the planting of Sichuan pepper, I will tell you…”

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

As long as those things are planted and supplied for a long period of time, they can make money compared to the salt that is given out.

There are red beans, mustard lumps, and Sichuan peppers. They are not worth much in Shu.

Shipped to other places for sale, the bits and pieces are not enough labor and shipping money.

For example, I was on the road during the Chinese New Year. As soon as I entered Chang’an, the employees and helpers took a lot of money to spend in Goulan and secretly greeted the door.

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

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

This time I didn’t find any excuses. I just didn’t accept it, and I didn’t even have money.

“Go to the fun tonight, the 1.5 million catties of salt will be spread.” Yang Huanjin decided to take everyone to play.

“Let’s arrange other salt first. If the local salt merchants lower the price, I can wait until no one is allowed to lower the price.” Someone suggested.

They worried that someone would use their offending Li Yi as an excuse to lower prices.

In other words, when the new technology of drilling wells comes out, Shu salt will be cheaper in the future.

The real war has begun, and negotiations are very difficult.

On the other side of Zhuangzi, Li Chengqi rushed over in the afternoon.

Seeing Li Yi first laughed: “Brother Yi, have you made a lot of money this time?”

“It’s just a fair exchange, I didn’t bully people.”

Li Yi shook his head. He knew the rumors about him outside.

“Yes, our brother Yi has always been easy to talk. It’s just 1.5 million catties of salt. When is Zhuangzi going to eat it?”

Li Chengqi helped to worry. The salt that Shu brought over last time could be used by Jingzhao Mansion for several months.

One twentieth is a county with a small population, and there is still half a year left.

“In a few days, Zhuangzi’s affairs will be arranged properly and a lot of salt will be taken away. There is a shortage of manpower and we need to hire from Chang’an.”

Li Yi made a plan and was about to leave.

The straight-line distance is more than a thousand miles, and with the road going around, it is good to be able to get there in one month.

“Is going to Taihang Shandong? It’s better to use water transportation, which is fast. I will contact you for my brother, and you will pay for it.”

Li Chengqi has already guessed something.

Hearing Dage said that there was a boat, Li Yi thought of something.

“Dage, if you use a boat from Bashui…no.” Li Yi said half a sentence, and he vetoed it.

Bashui is connected to the Wei River, and the Wei River is connected to the Yellow River. If the Yellow River goes to Henan and Hebei, it has to pass through Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi. The road is too dangerous.

“Brother Yi, is it the worst drought over there?” Li Chengqi asked after all.

“Well! The point is not the drought. It’s people, from top to bottom, officials and people, ignorant and ignorant.”

Li Yi has determined that the drought has not changed.

“What’s the use if you go? It’s still dangerous. It’s better to stay on Zhuangzi and arrange for others to go there.” 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 to play, and the other was a safety issue.

“Does Dage still remember the show performed by the children on the last Spring Festival? Helped to spread the story over there, and vigorously promoted the pair of men and women.”

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

When Li Chengqi heard this, he laughed: “Why don’t I wait to spread it, it has been spread out wildly, and the more it spreads, the more evil it is.”

“Evil is good.” Li Yi smiled. Since everyone is so superstitious, he spread the word.

“In that case, I will walk you through for your brother to contact the water transportation.” Li Chengqi agreed, without delay, and ran away on horseback.

In the palace, the sky was a little dark.

“If he goes out, Yu Lin Fei rides out five hundred, he will take care of the expenses along the way. Didn’t he still keep 10% of the profit and not spend it, and 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 when your Majesty will think of it, there will be a 10% profit outside.” Queen Wang followed with a smile.

She already knew that Li Yi accounted for the money given by the heavens and the earth, and then the copper money and silk were also specially repaired and installed in the treasury.

He was ready for others to come and pull away, never daring to move a little.

Li Dan followed with emotion: “It is safe to act in this way and know how to advance and retreat.”

Concubine Doulu said distressedly: “That child is also pitiful. He is not very young. He looks after a Zhuangzi and many people. He is always worried about cooperation. This time, I wonder if he will keep the salt alone.”

Li Chengqi said: “I guess Yi brother will use it for big things. Others are greedy for money, but Yi brother is unwilling to save a lot of money.”

“The water transportation is arranged, I hope he will go back quickly, and don’t delay for too long.” Li Longji glanced at the belly of the queen.

There will be more than two months until the day, in case…
