"Oh, I've heard that it's been used in Tubo. You used it today..." Li Longji thought for a while and found that he knew something like this, he hadn't seen the real thing, and he didn't know what his son was doing with it.
Li Ying sniffed, the elbow in the pot smelled very fragrant, and replied: "This pressure cooker is different from the previous ones. It uses electricity. In addition to the pressure cooker, there are also electric rice cookers. Erchen plans to promote it in Beijing. The supply of electricity generated exceeds demand, and a lot of firewood and coal are needed every day. Transportation and cleaning are very laborious."
Li Longji suddenly felt that it was impossible for him to see the environmental sanitation in the capital in the morning. For example, the chamber pot was poured, and the food leftovers from the previous day’s cooking. When you want to come by, people around you won’t feel very good.
Nodded, Li Longji praised: "My son can think of benefiting the people in the capital. The position of the prince is not in vain. I have left my elbow. What else is there?"
"Erchen still wants to manage a project." Li Ying said nervously. He was afraid that he would be rejected by his father if he wanted to make money as a prince.
Li Longji didn't say anything. When he talked about the strength item, his son said no. Now he wants another project. What kind of project is it
"I have discussed with other elder brothers and sisters, as well as younger siblings, planning to sell electric pressure cookers and rice cookers to Japan, so that the Japanese people can enjoy the blessings of the people in the Capital of Tang Dynasty with me, as well as electric lights."
Li Ying now also learns to do things under the banner of world peace.
Li Longji frowned, knowing that if he wanted to use electrical appliances, he had to be a little bit. Now, because the Ministry of Industry has built several generator sets, they can only provide them to the people in the capital.
However, the power generation technology is not perfect. The generator sets of the Ministry of Industry are piled up with money and cannot be popularized. Otherwise, they would have been sent to various places to let all the people of Datang enjoy it.
In Japan, should we use thermal power, water power, or wind power? Will the technology be learned by the Japanese? This is not expected. Even if the Japanese are disassembled to look carefully and don't know the principle, they will not follow the manufacturing process, and they will not be able to produce parts without the previous industrial foundation.
"Could it be that the technology of power plants can be popularized?" Li Longji asked.
Li Ying shook his head vigorously: "No, only small hydroelectric generators can be tried and installed in various places. The sons will use thermal power to help the Japanese build a few more thermal power plants, and only charge the cost of electricity. Rice cookers, electric pressure cookers and light bulbs are sent in batches at the beginning, and they will be sold after they have used them."
Li Longji was even more puzzled when he heard the words from his son. The Gao Lishi who was listening also was puzzled and asked: "If a power plant can be built elsewhere, why not put it in my Datang, so that the people can enjoy it. ."
"Because the new thermal power plant proposed by the Ministry of Industry is a large factory, that is, it generates a large amount of power. The drawings have just been designed, and the parts will be produced, but have not yet been assembled.
Two problems are involved. One is that the ash is too large when burning coal, and a solution has not been figured out yet, and the combustion is not sufficient. Another problem is that the performance is unstable, the transformer is easy to burn out, and it is easy to fry. "
Li Ying explained to him, it seemed that he thought of the way after going to the Ministry of Engineering.
Li Longji and Gao Lishi suddenly realized that Li Ying in front of them was different from before. At least they knew how to calculate people. What they said was definitely not his final purpose, and there must be a deeper reason.
With a cold snort, Li Longji asked with a sullen face: "To be honest, what do you want to do? A bunch of royal family members stay in their respective places without being honest. They have to intervene in business and administration instead of trying to do it in them. Something to cheat the people for their own benefit, right?"
"Father... Who dares, it was Xiaobao who supported us to do things. Their fiefs are no longer good. The money provided by fiefs every year is not as much as the money they make by doing things themselves. They plan to return the fief to the court, and then take a sum of money. Learn to do it, so that the people will not always call them moths behind their backs.
As a prince, Haier, of course, has to lead and always rely on money from the palace. The child feels uncomfortable. What other people can do, my royal boy can still do.
In the past, we thought that genius and wealth were just so much. If we were to do business to compete with the people for profit, we now know that the world is huge and wealth can be created. "
Li Ying found a reason. In fact, Zhang Xiaobao asked them to take back the fief and gradually take back other people's land to avoid land annexation and facilitate the control of domestic agricultural production and infrastructure.
In the future, the surrounding areas will be colonized, instead of sending the population to far away all at once, which will result in the gradual independence of all regions.
Now the land adjacent to the land gradually arranges the population to pass, provides land tax reduction policies, and waits for the development of transportation and communications before colonizing further places, such as large islands. At that time, as long as the central army controls it and does not This makes local income disparity very large, and other places can no longer be independent.
Li Ying's rhetoric was very moving, but Li Longji and Gao Lishi remained unmoved, still looking at Li Ying, waiting for him to explain further.
"Okay, okay, it's actually... how to say it, we think we should put Japan in the map of our Datang territory as soon as possible, and help add fire. After our research, we found that Japan would be very happy if the power plant was repaired. Then we will send a lot of pollution-related departments that require electricity to pollute Japan.
Coupled with the lack of resources in Japan, the coal needed by thermal power plants must be transported from our Datang, is it necessary to build roads? Do they have to spend money on coal? Is it necessary to form more fleets? Is their electrical equipment damaged quickly when the voltage is unstable
To squeeze out the last bit of profits in Japan, start by changing their living habits. When everything in their daily lives depended on our Datang, it was the moment when their regime died out. "
Li Ying expressed his ambition, and it was a very meaningful thing to send a dynasty to the execution ground by himself.
"They think so, you are not afraid that they will learn more in the future, I have taken a fancy to their skills, change the prince?" Li Longji began to scare Li Ying.
Never thought Li Ying smiled, nonchalantly.
Looking at Li Longji, then at Gao Lishi, Li Ying confidently said: "They are studying, and their children are also studying, and they have hinted that they don't want to be emperors, and they feel that the emperor is uncomfortable. They had little contact with the outside world before. , So I think the power in the court is very important.
Now I know a lot. There is still a large area of overseas unoccupied. Instead of staying in the palace, it is better to go outside to help Datang occupy more land and cultivate more people.
Targeting Japan is our first attempt. After success, they want to go outside. Some walk on land, some take a boat, bring a lot of personnel and escorts, as well as goods produced by Datang. Go outside to see and build. One by one, like Xiaobao and others, they realize their own value in life. "
When Li Ying spoke, her eyes were full of yearning, and she seemed to want to go out and see how wonderful the world is. I was crazy when I wanted to be an emperor before, but later I saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, even if they didn't become emperors, they still held a lot of power, and they were able to wander around the world.
Moreover, various maritime merchants from Luzhou to Beijing have also said that the outside is very large, and the land is full of illiterate people. The land outside is fertile, the trees grow tall, the animals that have never been seen in the capital, and the delicious fish in the sea.
There are countless mineral deposits. As long as a little bit of ceramics and silk are transported, as well as delicious seasonings, the locals even take the initiative to help merchants to mine the ore. A set of pottery bowls and plates worth only five cents in the Tang Dynasty can be exchanged. When the phoebe is full of nanmu, the pottery is not actually buying wood, but hiring local people to help cut it down.
According to Zhang Xiaobao, this is a golden age everywhere. Go, go out and help people in other places get better supplies of life, help them enjoy life, and then take back valuable things and give them to the big The people of Tang enjoy.
If you were the emperor yourself, you would at most travel within Datang, and you would have to be advised by the ministers. It would be boring.
Li Longji was surprised, but he did not expect that his children had reached an agreement in private. It is estimated that Xiaobao's incitement and temptation are indispensable. But I was right. With the current technology and weapons of Datang, there is no danger in going outside, unless it is sick.
When you get outside, you will be less constrained, and you can deal with the place you want. It is impossible for Datang's capital to pass specific orders.
If you are tired, you can come back and enjoy a few days before you go out. If you stay in a certain place for a long time, let Datang send someone to take it and move on to the next place, taking the process of fighting for territory and occupying resources as a game. Not only realized the value of life, but also enjoyed the results, and at the same time created wealth.
"I'm allowed, you can go play, but you are not allowed to make kings in various places in the future, otherwise, after a few generations, the place will not necessarily be ruled by someone. Xiaobao does not support colonizing the islands now because of this reason. ."
Li Longji felt it was a good thing to let the children go out to occupy the site, and nodded and agreed.
Li Ying left happily and went to make arrangements for the calculation of Japan.
Looking back, Li Longji also yearned forward and said to Gao Lishi: "I actually want to go to a place where there are koalas. Koalas are too squeamish, and I need to transport the fresh eucalyptus leaves from Luzhou. Come here, thanks to a lot of transplants later, otherwise the koala will be starved to death in the capital.
The heating bills spent on their cold-tolerant animals are not a small amount every day. Fortunately, children who come to Beijing or the local children like it, especially koalas.
Lux, I remember saying a few days ago that a koala seemed to be sick, but the people at the medical school didn't see what the disease was. It was very sluggish and inactive. Has it been cured? "
"His Majesty, it has been cured. The people in the zoo gave Xiaobao electricity. After Xiaobao asked, he asked him to hold the koala. As a result, he recovered from the disease. Because the color under the koala's eyes is different. It looks good, so there are no tourists to hug it, so it gets sick."
Gao Lishi answered.
Li Longji couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, it's unexpected, that little thing will also get sick because no one is holding it. I heard it for the first time, alas, Xiaobao knows so much, let people tell the people in the zoo, give it to that Just put the koala into make-up and make it a little cute, and it will be embraced by people who play it."
"Yes, it is your majesty's thoughtful thoughts. Koalas are very cute. Sometimes they sit on a tree, like a panda sitting on the tree, as if they have suffered a great grievance. The difference is that pandas bite people badly.
The zoo in Baoxin County has more income than the zoo in Beijing. The zoo in Beijing has a small monthly profit. A month in Baoxin County can provide thousands of profits, and the Expo City there has more income. "
Speaking of the zoo, Gao Lishi thought of Baoxin County, the place where Xiaobao and Juanjuan first became officials.
Li Longji almost forgot about the county. He heard Gao Lishi mention it, and asked: "What has become of there now? It will not be Xiaobao and the cuckoo leaving. The new officials gave the good things they left behind. Is it corrupted?"
"Your Majesty, do you think anyone dares? Baoxin County paid a lot of taxes last year. Except for the counties in Luzhou, the entire Datang Baoxin County ranked ninth at the county level. A result that I dare not think about.
Local officials, like Sanshui County, have to post announcements before administration. What is the income of the county each month, where it is collected from, and how much can be controlled by the county itself, and how to spend it next month. Everything needs to be known to the people. If you don’t understand it, you have to explain it.
After the people agree, the money can be used according to the plan. The people disagree and can only modify the plan. If they want to enforce it, the official will end up doing it. "
Gao Lishi understands the situation thoroughly.
"Okay, very good, I am very happy, but it is difficult to promote it to all parts of the Tang Dynasty. Not all people in all places have developed the habit of participating in politics and discussing politics. If they are messed up, the government will not be enforced. Enlightenment, everything still lies in enlightenment. .
Newspapers need to be distributed more frequently, and every state and capital will have its own newspapers in the future, and follow Xiaobao’s method to do it, not too expensive. And set up reading boards in lively places, and post newspapers for the people to read for free.
Now it is usually read by people who go to night school and children who have learned to a certain degree at home. In the future, the people will listen more, and naturally they will understand words according to the words in the newspaper. "
Li Longji really wants to carry out the people's participation in politics to various places, so that the local government will make fewer mistakes and not waste money.
Gao Lishi jotted it down so as to urge others to do it, and to control the local newspapers, not just write everything up.
…
Three more days passed.
Xiaobei and the others have sent cement to Victoria and helped Wenshan County find interested merchants. Soon, the merchants will go back to Wenshan County to see the output and the transportation situation.
Beckham and the others lived in Victoria for a day, took a bath and rushed outside. They even lost the opportunity to take a bath.
The team headed towards Yizhou at dawn to catch up with the older brothers and sisters.
Just out of the city, it’s less than five miles to go out. A horse came over from the road beside him. The people on the horse looked very tired. Seeing Beckham’s team, they happily shouted: "Bei Bei, I’m here, I’m here. My name is Xu Yilong, and I will follow you in the future."
"This is the person from the elder brother's team? Who?" When Beckham heard the movement, he got out of the car and looked forward.
The man was checked again, mainly to see the proof written by Zhang Xiaobao.
No danger was found, so he put it in. This person first looked at Xiaobei and then turned his gaze on other people, scanned around, and asked Xiaohai: "You, are you Zhang Xiaohai?"
Seeing Xiaohai nodding, he said happily: "I finally found you. I asked you a question. He said that there are two kinds of candies, one is red and the other is blue. The red candies are five cents per box, and the blue candies are each Box of three cents, you bought a total of nine boxes, spent a total of 33 cents, ask, how many boxes of blue and red each."
Xiao Hai froze for a moment, and then answered casually: "The red one is three boxes, and the blue one is six boxes."
Xu Yilong: "..."
