Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 820 Ding Mo is sick
As the commander-in-chief of the main force of the Eastern Expedition, Ding Yi didn't feel much about receiving the reward when he returned home this time.

He didn't come here for meritorious service when he fought the Japanese country.If you really want to make meritorious service, Tuyuhun and Western Turks are so fragrant, why travel across the ocean to fight against the Japanese country?

In the final analysis, this was just his personal desire, but it did not bring much loss to Datang.

On the contrary, Datang's tax revenue has thus increased, which has promoted domestic economic development and strengthened armaments. Datang's prestige is no longer limited to land, but has spread to the world through the sea!
The merchants who went to Hakata Port to do business have already returned to Datang once, and when they returned to Datang, they did not make much publicity about their fortunes.

On the contrary, when they go back, they are laughed at by those who don't want to do business across the sea, they just smile back at it, and then rush home in a hurry!

Why are you in such a hurry to go back?
I have made money, and I am anxious to get another batch of goods.Moreover, those guys who are unwilling to do business across the sea should not be allowed to take the lead!
On the surface, they are unwilling, but in fact they are just not sure whether the benefits brought by cross-sea business can repay their efforts.

If they knew that these pioneers had made a lot of money, these guys would not let go of such a good opportunity!

In this way, the interests of these pioneers will inevitably be divided, which is not what they want to see!
Although the pioneers were shrewd, as the leader of this economic trade, the imperial court would not look at it that way.

What the imperial court needs is to expand the market for cross-sea trade and allow more merchants to join in, so as to promote economic development, stimulate the demand for productivity, improve the living standards of the people, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of making the country rich and strong.

When these pioneers went home to stock up, the imperial court specially published the statistics of the total cross-sea trade through the statistics of the transnational market, so that domestic merchants... those who were timid on the sidelines burst out with the desire to make money.

After the imperial court played such a trick, those pioneers dared to be angry and dare not speak out. After all, without the support of the imperial court, they have no ability to trade across the sea with their strength!
After all, the opening of cross-sea trade is only aimed at the Japanese country. Except for the rubber companies in the south that can export to Southeast Asian countries and even Europe and Africa along the coast, others do not have this strength at all.

The Wa country is only that big, and the per capita wealth index is not as high as that of the Tang Dynasty. Once a large number of merchants flood in, it will inevitably bring about price cuts.

None of this troubled the shrewd Tang people!

The country of Wa is too far away, and there are many surrounding countries or tribes yearning for the goods of the Tang Dynasty, but due to the strict control of these goods by the Tang Dynasty.They can only buy a few bits and pieces at a high price in the hands of some smugglers.

After Japan's international trade, the officials of the Tang court also saw the surging interests coming to them.

International trade is imperative!

The reason why Xincheng can pay so much tax every year is entirely because of the frequent and huge business activities.

Otherwise, the prefecture and county in Luoyang would not have tried the tax law and it would still be the same.

Domestic commercial activities are sufficient due to the rise of the new city.

The market is only so big, and if you want to expand it, you can only wait for the people's living standards to improve.

But the standard of living does not mean that it can be improved by improving, which requires years of accumulation.

Since there is no market in the country, and there is a precedent for Japan's cross-sea trade, it is imperative to open up international trade!
In this way, the problem that has not been solved before has been solved!They didn't have to wait until Mr. Shi Ping came back before they could find a way to increase the treasury's inventory.

Of course, with the opening up of international trade, tariffs have become a problem.

Can't we just collect half of the tax like cross-sea trade?Is this too simple and rude?

It is very difficult to simplify complicated things, but to complicate simple things... Ha ha... The land of Central Plains is full of talents, and there are thousands of ways for you to use!

……

Regarding this, Ding Yi, who was floating at sea, was not clear. Although he could often communicate with Li Er through radio without barriers, the price was too high. Every communication was mostly about the Wa Kingdom and the Eastern Expedition.

What he cares more about now is his precious son!

When he came back from Hakata Port, he was on a newly improved ship, along with the soldiers of the Two Hundred Days Punishment Zuo Army who followed him on his mission to Japan.

It took less than 20 days to return to Hakata Port from Silla, but Xiaomo was extremely dishonest on board.

This time it was even worse, and he was directly sick!

Kinderman was very anxious. His son was only a little over one year old, and the infant mortality rate was very high in this age.

Disease and death don't matter who you are or what your status is!
If you don't believe me, look at Li Er, Li Chengqian is the boss, and Li Ke is the third.The second child in the middle is said to be Li Kuan, who died young.

At that time, Li Er was already the king of Qin, and he still couldn't save his son's life.

Kinderman hugged his son with red eyes, fearing that his son would die like this.

How could Ding Yi watch his son get sick, and just stayed with him for a month, how could he let him die young?
Xiao Mo's symptoms were a bit strange. As a fool known as a genius doctor, Ding Yi had no idea what his son was suffering from.

He cured Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui, but that was only done under known circumstances.

Now let him, a big fool without a medical license, treat his illness, he can only rely on the system.

"System?" I haven't heard the voice of the system for a long time. It's not that he doesn't contact the system, but that the system has been missing habitually in the past two years. The mall can be used, but you can't take all the medicines!

"..." Sure enough... this pit ratio always goes offline at the most critical time, making people want to give it up!
Helpless, Ding Yi had to find a military doctor from the Zuo Army and ask him to take a look at his son.

The people on this boat, who knew about Kinderman and Xiaomo, were limited to the people in Ding's residence and Lu Wudi, otherwise after returning to Datang, the news would have spread to Li Er's ears like crazy.

Ding Yi tried his best to block the news, just to have some buffer time, so that he could coax Chang Le to sleep first.

The military doctors of the Heavenly Punishment Army can be said to be the most special group of people in the Tang army. They are not as good as those doctors, but they are familiar with bruises, knife wounds and sword wounds.

When encountering the situation of the young father-in-law, the military doctor was at a loss what to do, he could only smile wryly, and was still worried that the father-in-law would blame him.

Fortunately, Ding Yi is not such a person, he will not blame innocent people.

It's just that he drove away the military doctor in a very upset mood. Looking at his son who was tortured by the disease and having no energy, Kinderman, who was worried about his son, was annoyed why he didn't learn some skills from Sun Simiao.

"Grandpa, little grandpa seems to be suffering from scurvy!"
