Guo Zhiyun and the other generals split up and were each in charge of an area. They mobilized the troops to search and deploy them.
The moon rose in Chang 'an at night. It was round. Today was June 15th, July 31st in the Gregorian calendar.
The temperature was very high. Even if he stayed at home and didn't move, he would still sweat non-stop.
This year's summer solstice was on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, which was the twenty-third day of the sixth lunar month.
According to the third day, the 21st day of the seventh lunar month was the first day of the sun, the 31st day of the seventh lunar month was the second day of the sun, and the 10th day of the eighth lunar month was the third day of the sun.
The weather was already hot. It wasn't even the hottest days yet, and there were still ten days to go.
There was a proverb in the North that said, "Even if you are not cold, you will still tremble. Even if you are not hot, you will still sweat."
In Zhuangzi, everyone was eating watermelons. They had put them in Jingli Town and didn't need to be iced. Iced watermelons weren't as delicious as well water.
"Watermelon is good. The local people have a better life." Li Longji picked up a small piece of watermelon meat with a toothpick and looked very happy.
The melons were sent from Xiaquan Village in Changze County in Youzhou. Ginger and melons were planted there.
Everyone was paid. When they were planting, they were paid 30 yuan a day. After planting, they were paid 5 yuan a day. The rest of their time was spent digging coal.
The coal mine that Li Yi found for him could be dug up in the county and used as he pleased. He was not allowed to sell it.
In other places, when people went to dig for coal, they didn't need to pay for their dignity, but they had to pay for a piece of coal.
Usually, the people from other places would go over to help with the coal first, and then they would have the face of coal.
Mining coal was considered as work. The coal mine did not pay wages, so they had to use a portion of the coal they mined to make up for it.
Even if he worked for half a day, if he was diligent enough, he would be able to haul away half a cart of coal and half a cart of coal powder.
The extra pieces of coal were returned to the imperial court. The imperial court hired the local people to wash the coal, and the washed coal was sent to the Li Family Zhuangzi to be coked.
The Ministry of Revenue provided the funds, and the Li Family Zhuangzi used coal to make all kinds of things. They also provided manpower to help the imperial court.
As for the extra steel and glass, the Li Family Zhuangzi kept all the glass and some steel.
The locals saw the output of watermelons and decided to plant them themselves next year. They could eat them, but not much.
He squeezed out water from the well to water it. As for the ginger, he dug out the mother of the ginger.
It was the same type of ginger that had been used to germinate. A few days ago, he had dug up the roots, and the color was different. The ginger that had been used as a seed was easily plucked off.
This Jiang was also called Niang Jiang, which was better than Old Jiang.
It was good to eat, and most of the time, it would be replanted next year. The yield was much higher than the old ginger harvested the previous year.
This kind of mother ginger was first sent back to the Li Family Zhuangzi for safekeeping by the Li Family Zhuangzi. If the locals wanted to plant some next year, they would be given a portion.
At that time, the other ginger fields that belonged to the Li Family Zhuangzi would not be given to the local people to plant and take care of. They would be exchanged with the mother ginger.
After plucking the mother ginger, he continued to plant the newly grown ginger in the soil. When it grew up, he would collect a portion of it. This was called tender ginger.
The tender ginger didn't need to be used to make pickles. Instead, it was made into ginger candies and used as medicine. Pickles and other things could be used to make pickles.
The rest continued to grow and become old ginger. Some of them were kept as seeds to expand the planting area, and some were used as seasoning.
The remaining watermelons were still growing in the ground. When the seeds were sprouted, the locals were responsible for planting them and preserving them according to the method.
Next year, the Li Family Zhuangzi would plant watermelons. They would send people to deal with the seeds and still pay the local people.
Everything was arranged. As long as the people worked hard, they did not need to consider other problems.
Li Longji felt that watermelons were delicious. It was precisely because of this that the lives of the local people suddenly changed.
This included planting grass and raising sheep. It was not called sheep digging the grass roots. The straws of the indica rice were transported and sand treatment began.
They made a grid of straws and drew a line. The straws were placed horizontally on the vertical line and pressed down along the line with a shovel.
The whole straw was folded in half from the middle and pressed into the sand. A section of straw was left on the top.
This way, the area was large and the wind could not blow it. They could also plant haloxylon in the grid.
If they could plant haloxylon, Li Yi could provide the seeds of Desert Cistanche and graft them on the haloxylon.
They planted melons, planted ginger, laid the grid of straws, prepared to plant haloxylon and graft Desert Cistanche, mined coal, built kang beds, and fetched well water.
The whole system was thrown over. The people who could not find work before finally saw hope.
In addition, the animals that the Li Family Zhuangzi transported were lent to the people. The people took good care of the animals when they worked.
According to the memorial sent by the local county magistrate, Qu Zhi, the local people's income increased by ten times. The county magistrate, Qu Zhi, wanted to take credit.
Li Longji wanted to chop off his head. The income increased by ten times, which meant that the life before was …
You were the county magistrate, and this was how you governed the place? You still had the face to say ten times.
What did ten times the income have to do with you? The only praiseworthy thing about you was that you did not cause trouble and did not embezzle.
"Li Lang, they said it was very difficult to transport the seeds out." Princess Yongmu took care of her two younger brothers.
The little ones were small, so Princess Yongmu helped to find the seeds.
Li Tan enjoyed the same treatment. He stole a glance at Li Yi after taking a bite. He was afraid that Li Yi would be angry. He could handle it himself, but he insisted on waiting for his sister to pick for him.
He was enjoying the warmth and the feeling of home.
Li Yi pretended not to see: "There are coal mines and cement burning materials, limestone, gypsum, mirabilite, quartz sand for glass burning, iron ore, salt, and so on.
You can directly open a cement factory. Ask Old Bi if he wants to open one. If he doesn't, I will find someone to open one. The local people should not be poor. "
Li Yi was talking about Etuoke County, which was now Youzhou, one of the top 100 industrial counties.
"Shouldn't you ask Minister Wei?" Princess Yongmu reminded him in a low voice. The cement burning should belong to the Ministry of Works, and Wei Zhi was in charge of it.
"Yes, ask Old Wei." Li Yi changed his words. He could not directly connect everything to the Ministry of Revenue. It was not good for the Ministry of Revenue to have too many functions.
"Can I go and help? I will go and watch. "Li Tan wanted to contribute to the Tang dynasty. This was his' home '.
"You stay here and wait until the wound on your face is healed. I just finished the big scar surgery for you. Do you want to continue to leave a scar that can never be removed?"
Li Yi said with a straight face. He did another big scar surgery for Li Tan the day before yesterday, and he was in the recovery period.
"Got it." Li Tan quickly responded. He was a little afraid of Li Yi.
"I will make melon slice soup for you tomorrow. Your face can't eat spicy things. It must be light."
Noble Consort Lu said to Li Tan that she had a good impression of this eldest grandson. Li Tan was the eldest grandson of the Emperor.
The little guy had an older brother, but he was the eldest grandson of the Emperor.
Normally, the Crown Prince was the eldest, not the youngest, and not the eldest.
With the little guy, the other princes could not expect to be the Crown Prince.
The melon slice soup she was talking about was the melon slices of watermelon. The red melon flesh was taken out, and the greenish-white part was taken out.
It could be used to make soup and cold dishes.
If you want to make it popular, it must be popular. Otherwise, it will be gone.
"Yes!" Li Tan responded with a straight face. He did not dare to smile and spoke little.
"The road with the well is built. The oasis has not grown yet. It will take a few years." Empress Wang pointed at the little guy's mouth.
The little guy quickly wiped it with the big napkin in front of his chest and returned a big smile to Empress Wang.
