Chapter 669: Embezzlement of State-Owned Assets Lian Gaoshan

"Make way~~" 'Boom boom boom...' A convoy of cars came out of Lijiazhuangzi.

The people in front shouted to other people and cars to make way.

The cars were equipped with cast iron manual crushers, which were used to grind cement ore and clinker.

Before, when burning cement in Zhuangzi, hammers were used to hit it in a large iron box, and water was added. The hammers were connected by lever principle.

The water power by the river pushed it and it was slowly crushed.

The demand for cement to support the track from Luoyang to Chang'an was large, and the river in Lantian County was used to crush stones, which could not keep up with the progress.

The men among the migrant workers were excluded, and they used this pedal-operated crusher to crush clinker.

Cast iron things are heavy, so Lijiazhuangzi's car was equipped with bamboo shock-absorbing plates and iron springs.

At the same time, a large number of protective masks were also delivered. Originally, there were only masks for burning cement.

Now they wear a whole mask made of glass, carbon powder, and cotton cloth, and the clothes are also one-piece.

The advantage is that you will not get sick by inhaling dust.

The disadvantage is that when you wear it now, you need to take a break every 15 minutes to drink water and take a shower with well water.

Migrant workers are only responsible for processing clinker, and they do not participate in the raw materials and firing process.

Before, they were responsible for planting fruit trees, digging ditches, and fencing the 30,000 mu of land that Li Yi bought.

As soon as the work was done, there was a new job, going to the cement factory.

The chickens in Lijiazhuang were thrown over to roam, and ducks and geese went into the water every day.

"Look, there is never a shortage of work. As a leader, you must always think about what work can be done."

Li Yi was talking to Bi Gou, who brought the contract and land documents today.

It's the end of the month, and tomorrow will be July.

The land that Li Yi wants to buy is 210,000 mu, an integer, but the data is actually very different.

It is not the area of ​​the mountain that is calculated, but the area of ​​the flat land.

The total area of ​​more than ten kilometers by more than ten kilometers, with the mountain standing on it, is larger than this.

It was sold for 500 coins per mu, which was equivalent to Li Yi spending 150,000 coins to buy nearly 2 million mu of land.

Those are all mountains, can it be calculated according to the area of ​​flat land? Yes!

"I know, I know that Xiao Yi is very capable. Do you still have money? If not, you can pay in installments, without interest. You should quickly convert it into terraces."

The result of Bi Gou's discussion with the prime ministers was that the mountains were useless if they were left there.

If you want to convert them into terraces, the expenses are the biggest part, so save money for Li Yi to convert them into terraces.

2 million mu of land, as long as one million mu of land can be produced, how much grain can be grown every year.

Paying rent is part of it, and the rest of the grain, Li Yi still has to sell it to Jingzhao Prefecture, and he can't finish it.

Li Yi smiled and nodded: "We are a typical collusion between officials and businessmen, encroaching on the land resources of the Tang Dynasty."

"Wrong, this is called collusion between officials and officials. You are an official. As long as you grow grain and make up for the shortage of grain, I will buy it and sell it to you at this price."

Bi Gou did not admit the collusion between officials and businessmen, which was not good.

He had no intention of protecting resources, and only wanted to have more food.

Li Yi was serious: "Don't worry, what I paid is definitely greater than what I gained. One hundred and five thousand strings, if I have cash, I can also have twice as much."

Li Yi has money, and the funds that can be used in the manor are more than three hundred thousand strings.

This is the surplus after constantly throwing money out, not the money that is printed casually.

The main source of income for the manor is the floral water made from the flowers bought, and the soap and scented soap made from the large amount of oil paper purchased.

There are fewer people buying glycerin, and it will increase in winter.

The income from selling flour and convenience is stable, not much.

Too much tea was sold before, and everyone has enough to drink for a while now.

Kerosene lamps and thermos bottles are relatively saturated in Jingzhao Prefecture, and generally there are merchants coming to buy dozens or hundreds of them.

As for the large amount of oil residue left over from boiling oil, the farmers have long been tired of it, and they will put it in the free soup for people to drink.

The money that comes back one after another is to help others pay for clothes, other things, and rent hand-cranked flour mills.

The rent of 20,000 cattle and horses was not much money, but it helped the development of Jingzhao Prefecture's economy.

Bi Gou couldn't even calculate the income and expenditure of Li's farm, and he was still worried, asking: "Is there enough money to feed the prisoners?"

"Enough, the prisoners go to work, I don't provide food." Li Yi said with a look of saving money.

"Alas! They are very good eaters." Bi Gou was sad, the prisoners worked for free, and he paid for their food.

"They also have the strength to work." Li Yi was not convinced, the prisoners in the war were strong.

"Since you have money, I will take it with me when I go back. I will give Huazhou and Tongzhou 5,000 coins each. The Ministry of Households can only get 95,000 coins from selling land."

When Bi Gou mentioned 95,000 coins, Li Yi felt that he was no longer interested.

95,000 coins is more than 5 million coins, which is nearly four days' income of the entire Tang Dynasty last year.

Li Yi smiled: "Old Bi, from February to July, did the Ministry of Revenue make a lot of money from collecting taxes?"

"Not much, you have to spend money everywhere, it's not easy for me as the Minister of Revenue." Bi Gou looked like he was about to cry.

"How much is that?" Li Yi asked.

"More than 2.9 million, what's wrong?" Bi Gou stared.

"Silk, right? From February to April, there is also greenhouse vegetable tax support. After April, the Yellow River can be transported and merchants will pour in."

Li Yi knew where the money came from.

He also knew that when the grain in the south was harvested in a few days and began to be transported, there would be another boom period before winter.

Then in winter, the price of greenhouse vegetables was low and the quantity increased, so a lot of taxes could still be collected.

Including the extra money given by Jingzhao Prefecture for re-measuring the land, this year's taxes can be compared with this year's annual rental income.

"Now the court is not afraid of war, there is money." Bi Gou smiled.

One million and eight hundred thousand strings of cash were spent, which was considered an investment, to build water networks, roads connecting villages, and build houses for the people.

It gained fame and had practical benefits.

The effect will be seen as soon as the river thaws next spring.

"Okay, but if you can avoid fighting, don't fight. Focus on defense. Fighting for years will wipe out all the soldiers of the Zhechoufu over there."

Li Yi was worried that Li Longji wanted to take the initiative to send troops to fight Tubo.

It's okay to fight in Tubo now, but the higher the altitude is, the more soldiers can't breathe.

He can't provide oxygen without limit, and each person wears an oxygen tank to fight?

"If you don't fight them, they will come over. It's better to strike first." Bi Gou now supports the war because he has money.

"The Taibai Mountain near us is good. Why not choose the army that is going to fight against Tubo and climb Taibai Mountain for training? At least there is an altitude of more than 3,000 meters."

Li Yi was thinking about how to train soldiers. If they can adapt to the height of the peak of Taibai Mountain and do strenuous exercise, they will be more likely to win against Tubo.

At present, when fighting against Tubo, the soldiers transferred from other parts of the Tang Dynasty are obviously affected by the climate.

The most capable are the local soldiers, who adapt.

For example, Songzhou, the highest place Minshan is more than 5,500 meters above sea level, and Songzhou City is more than 2,800 meters above sea level.

They can take the initiative to attack Tubo, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry is a specially trained strong soldier.

In this way, the action was successful, and many Tubo people were captured. They are negotiating there to exchange the captured people of the Tang Dynasty for return.

Bi Gou was silent, thinking about the situation there.

"That makes sense, training soldiers, training soldiers in Taibai Mountain, Taibai Mountain is very cold in winter, just like in Tubo."

Bi Gou showed a surprised look.
