Chapter 641 Shipbuilding Fund People's Hearts Question

The catkins were flying by the river, and laughter could be heard from the goose boats on the river from time to time.

Compared with those who had to do manual labor to support their families, the wealthy families in Chang'an City would take their children out to play on sunny days.

There was a large wheeled boat on the Ba River, which would go to Lantian County from the dock near Lijiazhuangzi every day.

It was mainly used to carry passengers, and the fare was the same as other passenger ships.

It could only carry 30 people at a time, and eight people were responsible for pedaling the wooden wheel.

When going there, it was downstream, and the splashes of water caused by the rotation of the wooden wheel were not much different from those of a waterwheel.

When returning from Lantian County, the speed advantage of the ship was reflected.

Many people in Lantian County carried large and small bags, as well as baskets.

They were going to Chang'an City to sell things, and only 30 people were allowed to carry a boat of 100 stones, and the goods accounted for the weight.

"Brother Yi, this is the Workers' Alliance who wants to build their own boats to sell, and is willing to give you a sum of money for each boat."

Li Chengqi pulled Li Yi to chat in a goose boat.

"Not now, work for me. When the water network of Jingzhao Prefecture is built and the boats that I cooperated with the Ministry of Revenue are manufactured, they will be allowed to build their own boats."

Li Yi rejected the proposal of the Labor Union to start additional work now.

He knew that it was the craftsmen in the Labor Union who wanted to build ships, not the eldest brother.

"At the docks of Jingzhao Prefecture, where ships can be built, in addition to building ships for your water network, they also help build ships for our cooperation."

Li Chengqi promised Li Yi that no one could build privately as long as Li Yi did not agree.

He then said: "The court took the drawings to Jiangnan. The Grand Canal needs to increase the number of ships, and it is not clear how to charge."

The fee he mentioned refers to the patent fee for Li Yi.

The ship built a small goose boat, and the patent fee could not be collected, so it was hidden in a small river.

For ships with more than 100 dan, the ship needs to run on the river and have a number. If you don't pay, the ship will be checked.

Even if a ship with 100 dan is given 100 coins, it can be regarded as supporting the patent.

Li Yi was quite embarrassed. The first paddle steamer was actually built by a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family who was born more than ten years later.

That guy was called Li Gao. He was a man with ideas. According to historical records, his salary was not enough to support his family, so he wanted to go out to be an official.

The purpose of going out to be an official was to do other work and increase his income.

Influenced by the relationship with the royal family members, the court would not let him go out.

So he made a small mistake and was demoted to be an official.

This person knew how to govern the local area, build roads, train soldiers, and invent.

If the situation in the Tang Dynasty was not so chaotic at that time, Li Yi believed that Li Gao could do better.

Now he is asked to pay the patent fee for the paddle steamer, and he feels ashamed to accept it.

"Brother, this money should be used to set up a fund to reward people who have made improvements on the ship."

Li Yi said to Li Chengqi that he was not going to take the money, but give it to others.

There is still a lot of room for development of paddle steamers. As for propeller ships, other knowledge is needed.

The propeller blades are not made casually. They must be calculated and then the mold is made.

There is no need for a five-axis machining center, let alone printing technology.

"I knew you would say that."

Li Chengqi didn't know that Li Yi felt guilty for copying Li Gao's invention. He thought that his brother Yi always cared about the world.

Li Yi saw that his elder brother had misunderstood, and opened his mouth to explain, but changed the subject.

"Don't take any big actions recently, especially against the Turks. Wait until July, and I'll see what happens."

Li Yi wanted to be stable, he was waiting for someone to die.

He didn't know whether that person would die, he only knew that the person was still fighting according to historical records.

He fought internally, not against the Tang Dynasty, and that person was preparing to unify the Turks.

"The affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture are enough to keep people in the court busy, so how can they care about other things." Li Chengqi shook his head.

The busy people in the court who were mentioned by him were cursing angrily at this moment.

"The people in the Censorate want to become famous by this, so I will help them. They are making it impossible for them to come up with a plan to benefit the country, but they are really good at making trouble."

Yao Chong was scolding the Censorate, and he was very angry.

The court exempted the people of Jingzhao Prefecture from the Yong and Tiao, and the people in the Censorate impeached.

Li Yi wanted to grow a lot of cotton and cancel the mulberry and hemp on the land in Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Censorate impeached.

The Ministry of Revenue paid for the construction of a water network to facilitate irrigation and boat travel, but the Censorate still impeached.

Someone proposed to nationalize Li Yi's more than 11,000 captives.

"Li Yi paid money to exchange for captives, and they just made trouble."

Lu Huaishen, who also received the impeachment memorial, complained for Li Yi and believed that the Censorate was impeaching for the sake of impeachment.

Zhang Shuo drank his tea slowly: "This matter has affected the interests of many people, and they are behind it."

Zhang Shuo refers to a group of people with royal family and family behind them.

They annexed the land in Jingzhao Prefecture, and they planted grain on it, and no one checked the mulberry and hemp.

Now it's time to change to cotton. The place where mulberry and hemp should be planted is used to plant grain. The wheat has not been harvested yet, so it's obviously not okay to dig it directly.

It will be too late to plant cotton after the wheat is harvested.

When the cotton is harvested, they can't take out the cotton. The court uses this as an excuse to start to deal with them, and they can't escape.

Seeing that the situation is not good, they look for help, and the Censorate is the most suitable.

"Li Yi doesn't care whether they grow grain or not. Isn't growing grain eating? They think too much."

Yao Chong continued to be angry and put away a pile of impeachment memorials.

"Let's go see the giant panda tomorrow." Lu Huaishen suggested that the giant panda would be in a good mood.

Just take a look. The next morning, after the court meeting, the three of them quickly handled the tasks at hand and ran to the giant panda park in Lijiazhuangzi.

It's spring, there are fresh bamboo shoots, and there are also young bamboos.

So except for the giant panda who took turns feeding his two children, the other giant pandas ate bamboo, and bamboo shoots were no longer provided.

The two little giant pandas no longer look like mice for more than a hundred days.

Their color changed to black and white, they were furry, and they could crawl, roll, and turn over.

It was a warm day and the two little guys were placed in an obvious place with mats underneath.

No matter how big the place is, they are always crowded together. If you bump into me, I will push you.

People who came to watch laughed loudly from time to time.

The other five bigger panda cubs, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, are now more lively, crawling around and falling over accidentally.

"My mood is indeed much better." Yao Chong laughed several times and finally understood why Li Yi insisted on raising giant pandas.

"Dogs are also very interesting when they are small, but it is different when they grow up. Giant pandas, no matter their size, always make people happy."

Zhang said to go on and not think about what happened in the court for the time being.

Lu Huaishen always smiled: "The Tang Dynasty will be different in the future, and there will be more smiles on the faces of the people."

"You have to wait until Sinong Temple has cultivated good seeds and your stomach is full before you can laugh."

Zhang Shuo sighed and thought about the court affairs again.

Li Yi was talking to Old Man Mu on the other side: "A person's mood is good or bad, depending on whether his desires are satisfied, and it is also compared with other people. Happiness is not just about being full."
