"Can you make a nine-turn large intestine? Drink some wine. "Li Longji ended the topic about Tubo. If he wanted to drink, he could just skip work tomorrow.
He would ask someone to send the other jewelry brought by Tubo to Zhuangzi tomorrow for Li Yi to inspect.
Li Longji rejoiced, how much did the Tubo people hate his Brother Yi that they came up with this kind of scheme?
If they gave him the night-luminescent pearl, he would probably put it in his bedroom.
In the future, he would show all the unknown pearls in the palace to Brother Yi.
Tubo had deliberately planned for Brother Yi to come up with this plan. It would be seen through as soon as he brought it over.
Li Yi looked at Li Longji. "Third Brother, it's too late. The nine-turn large intestine is too strenuous."
Li Yi did not want to do it. It would take a long time, especially when dealing with the large intestine.
The intestine had to be flipped back and forth. The large intestine was very tough. After flipping back and forth, it would be a solid intestine that would be cut into sections.
At that time, for convenience, he flipped the intestine when he washed it. Then, he did not stuff the intestine in the middle. When it came out, there would be a big hole in the middle.
It would take an hour to flip through nine layers of the intestine.
He would need to use salt and vinegar to rub the intestine until it was thin and loose. Then, he would use a long wooden stick to flip it back and forth. The more he flipped, the tighter it became.
After flipping through nine layers, he would put it in the pot, shape it, cut it into sections, and continue with other processing.
If he started in the morning, he would be able to eat it by noon. How should he do it now?
"Third Brother, I'll mix pig ears for you. I can't even mix pig intestines. There's no good large intestine." Li Yi asked for Li Longji's opinion.
"Do you have hoof tendons?" Li Longji did not want to eat pig ears.
Ge Yan was the fastest this time. As soon as Li Longji finished speaking, he jumped out and went to the kitchen to ask for hoof tendons.
The other three eunuchs had just left their chairs when they sat back down.
Not long after, Ge Yan came back with a plate of hoof tendons and half a catty of 50% white wine. The white wine had already been heated.
"Why am I so picky when it comes to eating? The soldiers would be lucky if they could even take a bite." Li Longji suddenly felt a little guilty.
"They're working so hard because they want the people behind them to eat better.
What I mean is that in the future, when we recruit volunteers, the prefectural military system will wipe out all the soldiers in one place.
Volunteer soldiers were recruited from all over the Tang dynasty. First, they were conscripts, which were government soldiers.
Two years later, if you don't want to be a soldier anymore, you can quit. If you want to continue being a soldier, you can become a volunteer soldier, just like the recruitment system.
Voluntary soldiers were given subsidies, and voluntary soldiers were given salaries.
The difference was that the recruits fought for money, while the volunteers fought for the country. There was no honor in a recruit's death, but a volunteer's death was a hero.
Let's build a monument to the heroes of the Tang dynasty. Soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be given jobs and official positions when they retire or become professionals, not titles … "
Li Yi told him about his country's history, and he felt that it was quite good.
"What kind of soldiers do the Winged Knights belong to? How do we build the monument? "Li Longji did not care about the soldiers. Anyway, what Brother Yi said would not be wrong.
"The monument will be carved with stone, and then there will be martyrs' cemeteries from all over the country. Everyone will burn joss paper, light incense, and place offerings. After the offerings are placed, you can take them home to eat."
Li Yi continued. No one wanted the offerings in the martyrs' cemeteries because their living conditions were better.
If their living conditions were not up to standard, it was fine as long as it was a token. Didn't other people give their longevity tablets with mosquito coils? Moreover, they would take it to another house after a while.
After Li Yi finished talking about how to commemorate the monument, he mentioned the Winged Knights: "The Winged Knights are the imperial soldiers. They are considered as voluntary soldiers, and their status is higher than voluntary soldiers."
"Can we let them be officials?" Li Longji talked about the issue of officials. Now, there were several ways to become an official.
If one passed the imperial examination, the imperial court would arrange it.
If one passed the provincial government's examination, the provincial government would arrange it.
If one became an official, he would be an exiled official.
There was also another type where the military governor and regional governor found someone to be an official elsewhere. The imperial court would recognize that person's position and pay him a salary.
The last type were the officials of the Prince's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion. Mansion officials had the chance to become local officials.
Regardless of which type it was, the requirement was for the officials to be able to write and calculate. They had to be able to write simple calculations, and not immediately write a list of the people or a book about the prime minister.
Previously, during the county magistrate examination, they couldn't even write a petition. Yet, there were people who were illiterate.
"I'll start learning after I become a compulsory soldier. I'll be able to write and calculate in two years. That's enough." Li Yi didn't have high expectations.
At that time, the professional soldiers he had started with were not ordinary and were treated well.
Many village heads in the Tang dynasty did not know how to write. When they did arithmetic, they had to memorize the things they needed.
If a child in the village became successful, the whole village would be happy and proud.
"Brother Yi, you can sort it out. Starting from next year, the revenue will be higher next year." Li Longji would definitely follow Li Yi's instructions without any problems.
"When I'm done, I'll pass it to you after dinner." Li Yi poured wine for the two of them.
Li Longji nodded. He was already used to it. This was how Brother Yi was like.
When Li Yi finished pouring two cups of wine, Li Longji picked it up and said: "Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion has spread the formula of the facial mask. Will Wen Tian make less money?"
"Money? What Wen Tian is doing now is more important than making money directly. She is leading the trend. Whatever she says, the ladies will believe it.
She said that if she wants to build a railway, everyone will pay for it together. After that, the ladies will go home and talk about it.
Women need to be smart and beautiful. How can they stabilize their status in the family if they communicate with each other in Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion?
Those who use their looks to influence others will fall in love with them. They need to work hard on both their looks and morals.
Wen Tian provides them with such an atmosphere. They need to maintain their beauty and learn more at the same time. "
Li Yi introduced Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion. It didn't just sell things to make money.
If you want to make money, you need Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion? Princess Yongmu needed to find something to do. Otherwise, it would be too boring.
If she liked to teach children, she would get a bunch of children for her to take care of. If she was willing to interact with other ladies, she would be given Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion.
Whenever she didn't want to, she could remove it and change to another one.
Li Longji drank the wine: "What's the difference between you and the princesses of the Tang dynasty? You want to have the right to speak in a place all day long. "
"The difference is big. Princesses do it for status and status. Wen Tian is happy. The only thing I can do for her is to make her happy."
Li Yi didn't want to compare Princess Yongmu with other princesses. They were different.
Princess Yongmu was now at the bottom of the social circle. She was no longer the wives of the kings.
Of course, there were also women from big families, including unmarried ones, who came to Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion to buy things and learn 'knowledge' at the same time.
"Okay." Li Longji replied with one word. He admitted that no man was like Brother Yi.
Some men didn't let women go out to do things, and some men counted on women to help them.
Li Yi, on the other hand, would do whatever you wanted. He would never restrict you, but always protect you.
"So I'm going to invite everyone in Nan Qu to Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion to teach those ladies. In terms of methods, other than the women in the palace, Nan Qu is the best."
Li Yi wanted to set up a class for those ladies.
