Waste?

Li Shimin shook his head slightly: "Aiqing can know that the materials of the Tang Dynasty are becoming more and more tense at the moment, I heard that if it were not for the special order of Chang'an Mansion Yin to ensure the purchase of pure white flannel cloth and white velvet flowers for newborn children and young children, I am afraid that the children do not even have quilts and jackets, and now they are not as good as before, can they still let the people wear paper clothes and coarse linen clothes." ”

"Yes, that's what the saint said." Li Jing also understands that it is easy to go from the bottom up, but it is difficult to go down from the top.

The common people have become accustomed to a better life, but because of the inability of the imperial court to make prices soar and make materials scarce, they can afford to buy white suede and fine linen, but they have to buy coarse linen, or even worse clothing, the people will definitely complain, and will only say that the governor of the state capital is incompetent.

"And, sugar. Can you say that sugar alone doesn't have a headache? ”

Li Jing nodded, when it comes to sugar, he has more pressure, and high-intensity training in the army requires more consumption of sugar and salt, and Datang's sugar supply has never been sufficient.

Right now, if it weren't for the large number of sugarcane fields in Qiandao Road, sugar in Chang'an would be more expensive than silver.

"Also, I need coins. What I want is not to expand a high-yield steel mill, I want to add two, three, or even five. But there is no money to build a steel mill, and it takes a lot of money to build a high-yield, high-quality steel mill, and I need to get this part of the difference from Shanghai. ”

"The minister understands that the minister will send someone to arrange for the official documents to be submitted to Shangshu Province today, and strive to have the fleet fully loaded and set off within fifteen days."

"Very well, remember again, I really wanted to build a railway between Chang'an and Luoyang, and it would take countless coins and steel. I don't want to rush anyone, but I really want a schedule. Also, the railway from Huayuan to Sanyuan, I also understand what Yanagi said, that is, toys. ”

"I understand."

Li Jing felt more and more that Li Shimin's ambition for the world was extremely powerful.

Li Jing didn't just know about the railway from Huayuan to Sanyuan, he also went to study it himself.

Although Yanagi didn't look at it, he said that it was a toy, because the train was propelled by three cars, one in front of the other, and there were only thirteen carriages in total, and each carriage could only carry 180 stones.

The standard given by Liumu is that one locomotive has forty carriages, and each carriage must be able to reach a load of at least 600 stones.

The total carrying capacity of a real freight train cannot be less than 20,000 stones.

20,000 stone is 1,000 tons when converted into tons. This is a real train, not an experimental toy from Huayuan to Sanyuan, with a total carrying capacity of only 2,300 stones, that is, a little more than 100 tons.

Just like Liu Mu every time he writes a letter to Li Shimin, he is used to writing a separate letter for each thing, even if there is a repetition with other things, he is not afraid of wasting pen and ink and writing things several times.

Slowly, Li Shimin discovered the benefits of this matter.

For example, Liumu discovered a gold mine and another coal mine, which are two letters. Then Yanagi wrote about the gold mine that he intended to build a secret mint in Mogadishu.

It is also mentioned in the coal mines that this coal will provide enough coal for gold, silver, copper, iron mills, etc.

If Li Shimin needed to discuss with that important minister, he would give a complete letter to this courtier, to show that as the emperor, he had great trust in the courtier, and showed the complete letter to the courtier.

Of course, half of Liu Mu's letter Li Shimin was put away separately.

Therefore, Li Shimin wrote a letter to Liu Mu, and he also wrote a separate letter for each thing, unlike Liu Mu, Liu Mu asked Xiao Ling'er or Xie Xing'er to write ten times out of ten, but Li Shimin wrote it himself.

When the vanguard of the first sailor arrived at the port of Magical Island for a short rest, Liu Mu was digging with tens of thousands of slaves, digging countless pits one after another, whether it was mountains, flat land, or valleys.

When Dugu Shura saw Liumu, he saw one convoy after another transporting supplies to the wooden boats by the river.

When the two met, Liu Mu laughed happily: "You are here, and my heart will be at peace." ”

"I'm here, and I've brought with me a total of eighty-four battleships of three different types, from 2,200 to 2,500. Each ship has a minimum crew of 520 and a maximum of 640 crews. ”

Dugu Shura was talking, but he saw that the smile on Liu Mu's face froze, and his face turned bitter.

Dugu Shura asked, "Could it be that there is no dock that can dock these warships?" ”

Yanagi shook his head.

Dugu Shura asked again: "Could it be that there is not enough food here?" ”

Liu Mu grabbed an item on the donkey cart that was transporting supplies this time: "This is called cassava, wild, and poisonous when eaten raw, but it is conservatively estimated that the yield of one hectare and two hundred stones is not a problem, and I am not surprised by some long dense five hundred and eight hundred stones." And there are countless bison here, and there are hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat fields that have been cultivated for almost a year. ”

"Then what are you worried about, your expression is like someone owes you a lot of gold."

Liu Mu smiled bitterly again helplessly: "The sage sent almost half of the main heavy battleships of the Tang Dynasty, and there are at least 10,000 marines in the Marine Division." ”

"Sixteen thousand." Dugu Shura must have a specific number.

Liu Mu nodded: "With so many people sent, there will definitely be one or several saints who can exhaust me and worry me to death, it seems that my leisurely days are finally coming to an end." ”

Leisurely!

It is indeed leisurely, when Dugu Shura arrived at Spice Bay, he naturally went to see Princess Changping of the Tang Dynasty first, nominally has nothing to do with him, but in fact she is his own sister of Dugu Shura.

At this time, what Dugu Lanruo does every day is to enjoy life leisurely.

Fish watching, godson, food, music, painting.

Dugu Shura didn't know what task the Tang Emperor Li Shimin would give Liu Mu, he was just responsible for bringing the iron box containing the secret letter over to Liu Mu.

Dugu Shura pointed to the countless large and small pits here and asked Liu Mu, "What are you doing?" ”

"First of all, I need to find the gold mines. In the process of discovering the gold mines, I found many other mines, and there are dozens of gem mines alone, and I will make a note of the location for the time being. What is most needed at the moment are gold, silver, copper, iron, carboniferous, feldspar, etc. There is no rush for gems and the like, because I took a job and helped the Roman Empire make gold, silver, and copper coins. ”

Dugu Shura expressed understanding.

Liu Mu pointed to the thing pulled on the cart again: "This is discovered by accident, although it is poisonous, but the medical officer has tried to soak it in water for five days, this is a very good food, mainly wild There are countless and countless people." It is also prepared to be planted in a special place, which is a good thing for sake brewing and people to eat, and sake lees are also a good thing for feeding donkeys. ”
