Chapter 658: Not Allowing Peace and Always Hostile

Chapter 659: Not Allowing Peace and Always Hostile (Second Update)

"Kerosene lamps need oil. Every time you deliver oil, you will settle the bill. If you don't pay, you won't sell oil." Li Yi has a way to control the other party.

"Thermos bottles don't always need oil." Li Longji casually mentioned the problem of thermos bottles.

Thermos bottles are easy to use, and there are many in the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs go to fetch water, and they don't have to guard the stove in hot weather to provide hot water at any time.

Everyone is very careful when using them. So far, none of them has broken. If they break, they can only collect the fragments and exchange them for new ones with Li's manor.

"If you want to buy a thermos, you must buy a kerosene lamp, a total of 600 strings, 20 strings at a time."

Li Yi made tea and poured water for two people with a teapot.

"Twenty strings is not affordable for ordinary people in Khitan and Turkic." Li Longji got angry when he thought about how poor others were.

Why do such poor places always have to fight? Can't they grow their own fields? Relying on robbery, who on both sides will not die?

"They don't have to buy expensive things. For daily necessities, we can even sell them to them at a cheaper price than when we sell them in the Tang Dynasty." Li Yi picked up the tea bowl.

Li Longji sighed: "They learned the Qingchu method. People in many places in the Tang Dynasty haven't learned it yet. Their envoys learned it and passed it back."

"That way they have more livestock. The Tang Dynasty needs it. Qingchu can't keep it secret, but it can't be used by the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi doesn't care whether others learn it or not. As long as the technology keeps improving and develops to the later stage, others can't learn it even if they want to.

Li Longji drank tea for a while: "Tubo lost the restraint of the Turks on the Tang Dynasty, and was attacked by Songzhou, suffering heavy losses, and will ask for an alliance again."

"Use their captives to exchange our people first. If they want to make peace, our Tang Dynasty will not make peace."

Li Yi gave his attitude. According to the records, Tubo had already lost in Songzhou.

Because of the internal strife of the Turks, Tubo also asked for peace afterwards. The Tang Dynasty actually couldn't fight anymore, so it agreed.

Both sides actually understood what was going on. They took a break and fought again. It was endless.

It is different now. There is no crop failure in such a large area east of Taihang Mountain. There is food.

If the water network of Jingzhao Prefecture is completed this year, Li Longji will not go to Luoyang for food next year.

According to history, there was not enough food in Guanzhong this year, and Li Longji wanted to take everyone to Luoyang for food.

It is OK now. How many wells have been dug?

At the same time, the track from Chang'an to Luoyang is under construction and can also be completed before the end of the year.

The shortage of food is transported from Luoyang to Chang'an by land. The emperor went to Luoyang for food. What should the people of Jingzhao Prefecture do?

The records say that the emperor went to Luoyang and stayed there for two years.

When there was food in Jingzhao Prefecture again, he ran back.

The data does not say how the people of Jingzhao Prefecture are doing, including those in Huazhou.

But if you think about it, you can think that they are guaranteed to not have enough food.

It was caused by natural disasters. Tubo took the opportunity to recuperate, and Li Longji had to agree.

"Third brother, there are many greenhouse vegetables now, and the people have used more fertilizers in the past two years. I have released nearly 20,000 cattle and horses from my farm for them to use.

Chang'an will be stable in the next two years. Tubo is seeking peace. We cannot give them a chance to catch their breath."

Li Yi listed the situation, all under his control.

Chang'an cannot move. Chang'an has an army. When the emperor leaves, the army will also leave.

The army in Chang'an goes north to fight the grassland and goes west to fight Tubo.

"Yes, 30,000 Yulin flying cavalry are stationed in Chang'an. There is no peace."

Li Longji has decided. Why can you fight and make peace whenever you want?

There were many difficulties in the past, but they were all settled by Brother Yi!

When the water network is built, it will be easy for the people to irrigate, and the crops will not lack water. How much grain will be produced.

Thinking of food, Li Longji said to Li Yi: "The Annan Protectorate has found the indica rice you mentioned. The news sent back said that it can be harvested in 50 days after planting locally."

"Really?" Li Yi's eyes lit up: "That's great, put it in Jiangnan Road to plant, arrange cattle and horses for them, and soak it in water and plow it after planting one crop.

In this way, three seasons can be snatched out in a year, as long as the number of cattle and horses can keep up.

Harvest in the first season, send the seeds to Henan Road, plant it in Henan Road, and take the time for round trip into account, Henan Road can snatch one season this year."

Li Yi arranged it directly, otherwise Jiangnan Road would harvest twice a year and plant something else.

The main time is wasted on the roots of indica rice after harvest.

Turn out the roots, pick them aside to ferment fertilizer, and then plant the original land.

Use animal power to increase the frequency of cultivation. There are enough local people, the weather conditions are not a problem, and it doesn't rain all the time. You can try it in all four seasons.

If the weather in Fujian is good, Champa rice should be counted into the sowing and harvesting time, as well as the plowing time.

It doesn't matter if Champa rice is not delicious, it can be made into rice noodles and rice vermicelli, and rice cakes are also good.

Li Longji smiled and nodded: "It is estimated that it has been planted in Jiangnan Road. Henan Road is too late this year, and Jiangnan Road just needs to prepare more seeds."

After a pause, Li Longji smiled and said to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, you can be crowned as a king for your contribution."

"What's the use of being crowned as a king? I am still staying in the Li family manor. Can I get more food? Do I need money?

Oh, I can build a mansion and recruit some private soldiers.

But I now have Yulin Flying Cavalry and Sixteen Guards to protect me in rotation, and there are farm soldiers in the manor.

Can I go to the fiefdom? If I go, no one in the imperial city of Chang'an will sleep peacefully, and they will wonder if I will rebel all day long."

Li Yi disdained the king and said no.

Li Longji kept nodding his head to show his agreement. Yes, being crowned as a king is useless to you, and it is impossible to let you go.

Other kings were so stupid that they didn't let him go out, but only gave him a nominal position. If you go out, God, oh my god!

"Third brother, I remembered something. Yao Chong's son Yao Yi is an official in Dengzhou.

Send someone to send a few medicines. If he gets sick in two months, see what disease he has and take medicine according to different diseases."

Li Yi suddenly remembered something that he almost forgot.

"What medicine?" Li Longji frowned. He didn't like Yao Chong's son.

"One is a big honey pill for treating malaria. Take it if you have malaria. The other has three medicines. You can't drink alcohol.

One is aminocapromine. It supports treatment for typhoid fever and does not kill cold viruses.

One is cephalexin, an antibiotic. When the human body gets typhoid fever, it prevents other bacteria from harming the human body.

The last one is morpholino hydrochloride, which can inhibit the reproduction of typhoid fever viruses to a certain extent."

Li Yi gave the corresponding medicines for two diseases.

"Wouldn't it be better to wait for people to die?" Li Longji didn't want to give it. He knew that these medicines were what Li Yi would exchange his life for when he heard the names.

"Old Yao has made contributions anyway. If his son is sick and medicine doesn't work, send him here from Henan Prefecture. Once he's cured, Old Yao should join the group."

Li Yi said from another perspective, if Yao Chong joins the group, how can his sons still make trouble?

Do the people in the group still care about a new member? Who is worse than who?

When Li Longji heard that Yao Chong was allowed to join the group, he thought it was okay, otherwise he would have wanted Yao Chong to step down.

The prime minister cannot be in office for too long and have too much power.

"That's good." Li Longji agreed. If your son is sick, save him and don't let you send him off.

Don't you understand? Change your position quickly.

When the time comes, adjust your son's position as well, for example...put him in Lantian County as an inspector?
