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

The meeting on the Imperial Court will continue to open. Zhang Jiuling will wait for the incident to catch up. Now I will ask the Guangzhou Ministry of Shipping Industry.

“The ministers request Guangzhou Provincial Governor to report the types and quantities of goods bought and sold by Guangzhou and Kunlun people. If the quantity is too large, it will be the Ministry of Shipping Industry.”

Yao Chong does not know that Guangzhou has How many things need to be exchanged, open the market hastily, must send manpower to manage, waste money and food.

Zhang Yue took a sip of tea and put down the cup: “His Majesty, but what Li Yi mentioned?”

“en!” Li Longji responded.

“The minister thought that the Ministry of Shipping Industry should be established immediately.” Zhang Yue got the answer and immediately supported it.

Lu Huaishen took a look at Zhang Yue and said to Li Longji: “His Majesty, what did Li Yi say?”

“Go out to sell and exchange silk and ceramics for things. Finally came back to pull a boat of grain and collect taxes.” Li Longji did not hide it.

“Ministry of Shipping Industry is required. Longze will be happy.” Yao Chong does not need to ask.

Go out and sell things, the quantity is controlled by yourself, there can be many, there is a department to manage.

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

Li Longji nodded, he hasn’t thought about how to eat the grain, he is early.

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

Yuan Qianyao lowered his head to ponder, and said after a moment: “The personnel are out, speech is difficult, the market may be in conflict, which damages the reputation of Great Tang, so be careful.”

He paused. , And said: “Of course, the Ministry of Shipping Industry is open, but Kunlun people should not be taxed to show the kindness of Great Tang.”

“I see.” Li Longji did not come to a conclusion.

The four quit wittily and returned to the political affairs hall.

In the evening, Li Longji’s family of three went to Li Family Farmstead, and Empress Wang took Little Brat on a crazy run.

Since Little Brat can run away, he cant be idle anymore. Unlike some children who always feel tired and let the adults hug, Little Brat does not want to be hugged.

“Third Brother is here, just take a look at the model from the manufacturer.” Li Yi took Li Longji to the river.

A small Dam was built by the river. When the water reaches here, the flow speed 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 water continued to flow, the water surface rose, rose to a height with the upper platform, the boat passed.

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

“Third Brother, look, cut out the river from the Hukou Waterfall, and go up one level at a time, with more than a dozen boats at a time.”

Li Yi demonstrates with a small model ,explain.

Repeat the method again and reverse the operation.

Li Longji took a look: “Good idea, what about the other one?”

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

Similarly simulating the Hukou waterfall, a board is placed obliquely with a small inclination angle and a row of rollers on the board.

Li Yi tied the boat with a 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, the kind of train wheel, 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.

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

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

“The stone of 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 mouth of the kettle gathers towards the mouth of the kettle.”

Li Longji explained to Li Yi, dont look at the profit model, you did good, its useless.

The line of railroad tracks is originally a dry land line, so it is convenient to have railroad tracks.

Li Yi lowered his head to think about it, showing a sorry smile: “Forget that our current level of technology is not enough to support.”

He pulled the wooden board on the rail: “I dont need too much iron for the rails. I originally planned to use a ship that counted two hundred and fifty shi. Now I decided to use one hundred shi.”

Li Yi thought about a fifteen-ton ship before and found out that it uses rails. , The ship sinks, the rails must be able to withstand it.

Using Hand Chain Hoist to pull a fifteen-ton ship 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 boat will crush the roller if it is heavy.

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

“Okay, I This can be used to irrigate the railroad tracks for construction in winter. Li Yis method of making railroad tracks is to irrigate them.

Li Longji looked at the tracks again and suggested: “If there are only 100 rocks, use wooden tracks, the wheels can be iron, and they can go 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.

The one-hundred-stone ship is placed on a wooden board with eight rollers under the board.

“150-stone boats are fine, and wooden tracks are fine.” Li Yi wants to increase the cargo capacity of the boat.

“You make a few more, when the time comes, see if it works, or use it in other rivers.”

Li Longji can’t calculate it, 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.

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

“Everyone agrees on the establishment of the Guangzhou Ministry of Shipping Industry at the Imperial Court today, but Yuan Qianyao does not think that sending a team out is beneficial to Great Tang.”

Li Longji prepared Go back and let people repair the wooden track at Hukou Waterfall, and then talk about the Ministry of Shipping Industry.

When he finishes Yuan Qianyaos worries, Li Yi put aside his lips: Its just business, how can Great Tangs reputation be damaged? Will Great Tang take the initiative to bully others?

Li Yi found that Yuan Qianyao was short-sighted, and at this moment, he considered the opinions of others.

Without collecting taxes from outsiders, Li Yi smiled: If you dont collect taxes from others and dont take the initiative to buy and sell, what is the significance of the Ministry of Shipping Industry?

“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 not been seen, spices.

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

Li Yi simply put a few words, he values gold and silver, spices and food.

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 pays less and gets more.

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

“It doesn’t need to be replaced with lifespan. When the time comes, let them go there by themselves. The predecessors also left some things.” Li Longji asked first.

Li Yi shook his head: “Don’t use lifespan.”

Li Longji smiled: “The more the better.”
