Bring The System To Datang

Chapter 696 The wooden track has become a sea trade agreement (second more subscribe)

A team of fast horses rushed out of Chang’an City to chase after Zhang Jiuling who had been away for a few days.

The meeting at the court continues, Zhang Jiuling will wait until he catches up with Zhang Jiuling’s affairs, and now ask the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Shipping.

“The ministers please order the Guangzhou Provincial Governor to report the types and quantities of goods bought and sold between Guangzhou and Kunlun. If the quantity is too large, it will be the opening of the market.”

Yao Chong didn’t know how many things needed to be exchanged in Guangzhou, so he rushed to open the market, he would send manpower to manage it, and wasted money and food.

Zhang said to take a sip of tea and put down the cup: “Your Majesty, but what Li Yi mentioned?”

“Yeah!” Li Longji responded.

“The minister thought it was time to start the establishment of the Shibo Division.” Zhang said that when he got the answer, he immediately supported it.

Lu Huaishen glanced at Zhang Shuo and said to Li Longji: “Your Majesty, what did Li Yi say?”

“I took the initiative to sell, exchange silk and ceramics for things outside, and finally came back to pull a boat of grain and collect taxes.” Li Longji did not hide.

“We need Shibosi. Longze will be happy.” Yao Chong didn’t need to ask anymore.

When you go out and sell things, you can control the quantity yourself, and you can have a lot of them, and there is a department to manage them.

Lu Huaishen echoed: “One more ship of food will give hundreds of households more food for a year. If you accumulate them and transport them one after another, even if there is loss on the road, the people will definitely be less hungry.”

Li Longji nodded, he hadn’t considered how to eat the grain, he was early.

He looked at Yuan Qianyao, it’s your turn.

Yuan Qianyao lowered his head to ponder, and said after a moment: “The personnel are out, the language is difficult, the market may conflict, which will damage the reputation of Datang, so be careful.”

He paused, and then said: “Of course, the Shibosi Department should open, but the Kunlun people should not be taxed, in order to show the great kindness of Tang.”

“I see.” Li Longji didn’t come to a conclusion.

The four people retired wittily and returned to the political affairs hall.

In the evening, Li Longji’s family of three went to Lijiazhuangzi, and Queen Wang took the little guy on a crazy run.

Since the little guy can run away, he can’t be idle anymore. It’s not like some children always feel tired and let the adults hold them, but the little guys don’t want to be hugged.

“The third brother is here, just to take a look at the model made.” Li Yi took Li Longji to the river.

A small dam was built by the river. When the water reaches here, the flow rate increases, simulating the Hukou Waterfall.

There is a smaller river beside the waterfall, and a small boat a few inches long passes through the gate.

First stopped at a low place, the gate behind closed, the current continued to flow, the water surface ascending, rose to a height with the upper platform, the boat passed.

Continue to move forward and arrive at a position with a gate. The boat stops, closes the gate, and the water level rises.

“Third brother, look, he cut out the river from the Hukou Waterfall, and went up one by one, with a dozen boats at a time.”

Li Yi uses a small model to demonstrate and explain.

Repeat the method again and reverse the operation.

Li Longji looked at it, “Good idea, what about another one?”

“The other is here.” Li Yi took Li Longji to a different place, not far away.

In the same simulation of Hukou Waterfall, a board is placed obliquely, the angle of inclination is not large, and there is a row of rollers on the board.

Li Yi tied the boat with rope and pulled up the inclined board. The bottom of the boat hit the roller, the roller rotated, and the boat was pulled up.

The board is laid flat, just hitting the track, the rail, there are wheels under the board, and the wheels of the train are stuck on the rail.

Pull the rope on the board, the wheels roll, and the board advances on the rails.

To the other side, there is a rope behind the board, tilt, and the boat slides down.

“Brother Yi, this railroad uses a lot of iron, but now it can afford it.” Li Longji made a choice.

“Doesn’t it rise gradually?” Li Yi thought the first one was better.

“The stone in the Hukou Waterfall is too hard, and it rises again and again. Too many stones need to be chiseled, and the water is not enough. The water around the mouth of the kettle will gather towards the mouth of the kettle.”

Li Longji explained to Li Yi, regardless of the profit model is well done, it is useless.

Railroad tracks are meant to be sailing on dry land. Railroad tracks are convenient.

Li Yi lowered his head to consider, and smiled embarrassedly: “Forget that our current level of technology is not enough to support it.”

He pulled the planks on the rails: “The rails don’t need too much iron. Originally, I planned to use a ship that counted two hundred and fifty shi, but now he decided to use one hundred shi.”

Before Li Yi considered a 15-ton ship, he found that the rails would sink the ship and the rails had to be able to withstand it.

Pulling a fifteen-ton ship with Calabash by hand is equally tiring, but it is relatively easy to change it to six-ton ​​and one-hundred-stone ships.

The key is the roller on the wooden plank, the roller will be crushed if the boat is heavier.

Li Longji squatted down to look at the rails: “The rails are paved with cement on both sides and pulled by livestock to make two rails, one up and the other down.”

“Okay, I can irrigate the rails, and work in winter.” Li Yi’s method of making rails is to irrigate them.

Li Longji looked at the tracks again and suggested: “If there are only one hundred stones, use wooden tracks. The wheels can be made of iron and walk on wooden tracks.”

Li Yi looked up at the sky. He calculated the bearing area of ​​a six-ton ​​object and the bearing capacity of wood.

A one-hundred-stone ship is placed on a plank, under which there are eight rollers.

“One hundred and fifty stone boats are fine, and the wooden tracks are okay.” Li Yi wanted to increase the cargo capacity of the boat again.

“You build a few more, then see if it works, or use it in other rivers if it doesn’t work.”

Li Longji can’t calculate, but he will try.

“Well, from one hundred stones to three hundred stones, there are five types.” Li Yi agreed, adding fifty stones for each one.

It doesn’t matter if the boat is wider or narrower. Put it on the board and keep the distance between the rollers under the board unchanged.

“Everyone agrees on the establishment of the Guangzhou Ship Division at the court today, but Yuan Qianyao does not think that sending a team out is beneficial to Datang.”

Li Longji was going to go back and let someone repair the wooden track at Hukou Waterfall, and instead talked about Shibosi.

When he finished talking about Yuan Qianyao’s concerns, Li Yi put aside his lips: “It’s just business. How can Datang’s reputation be damaged? Will Datang take the initiative to bully others?”

Li Yi found that Yuan Qianyao lacked heart and eyes. At this moment, he was considering the opinions of others.

Instead of collecting taxes from outsiders, Li Yi smiled: “If you don’t collect taxes from others, and don’t take the initiative to buy and sell, what is the meaning of Shibosi?”

“What are the good things outside?” Li Longji didn’t care what he said to Yuan Qianyao, and Yuan Qianyao couldn’t decide.

“That’s a lot, ivory, pearls, coral, tortoiseshell, gold and silver, animals and plants that have never been seen, spices.

We use what we can grow to exchange. Their smelting technology is not very good, and ironware can also be exchanged for things, such as knives and iron pots. ”

Li Yi briefly said a few things. He valued gold and silver, spices and grains.

Ivory, rhino horn, Chinese medicine? That way tortoiseshell, coral and pearls can also be used in medicine.

“Okay, I should go out and build more ships.” Li Longji, no matter what, he paid less for more.

“I have a map and a chart.” Li Yi added a fire.

“It doesn’t need to be replaced by lifespan. Let them go there by themselves, and the predecessors will also leave some things behind.” Li Longji asked first.

Li Yi shook his head: “There is no life span.”

Li Longji smiled: “The more the better.”
