Li Chengqi left. He went back to find someone to discuss how to improve the football industry.
Zhang Shuo also left. He went back to renovate the toilets and repair the roads. At the same time, he was annoyed by Li Yi calling him old man.
Pei Yaoqing left with Li Chengqi. He was going to look for investors with King Song.
There was no place to build a football field in Chang 'an City, so they had to use official land outside.
Li Yi took a stroll after the meal. When he felt better, he entered the dissection room.
The weather was cold. Even if the dead were to be stored for a few more days, they would still be well preserved.
Pei Yaoqing left with Li Chengqi and got into King Song's car. Li Chengqi didn't want to ride a horse, so he found an ordinary car.
"King Song …" Pei Yaoqing said.
"Call me Provincial Governor. I want to be in charge of ideology and propaganda." Li Chengqi interrupted Pei Yaoqing.
Pei Yaoqing was confused. What ideology? You are the Provincial Governor, how can you be in charge of the specific matters?
However, he wasn't in the mood to dwell on this matter. "Provincial Governor Li, where do you want to rent land? I will estimate the price for you. "
"Pei Mingfu, you are thinking too much. I don't want to rent land. Chang 'an County can take out a piece of land and I will manage it. After I get the money, I will pay taxes to Chang' an County."
Li Chengqi chose to cooperate with Li Yi. This was the knowledge he learned from his conversations with Li Yi.
Pei Yaoqing was confused. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How do you want to pay taxes?"
"Thirty cents. For every thirty cents you earn, you have to pay one cent to Chang 'an County." Li Chengqi listed the tax rate.
"You don't want to give me the money from the rich?" Pei Yaoqing was concerned.
"They are investors and future collaborators. What does that money have to do with you?" Li Chengqi didn't want to give it to him.
"I lack money. This winter, I want no one to die of hunger or cold." Pei Yaoqing said righteously.
"If you lack money, you can ask from the Ministry of Revenue. Why do you need money from me?" Li Chengqi was surprised. (Chang 'an County's County's County is probably stupid after eating a meal.)
"But …" Pei Yaoqing understood that it was unreasonable to ask King Song for money. However, he did lack money.
"Hurry up and collect the slag to exchange for food with my brother Yi. Those who have nothing to do, ask them to clear the snow and repair the roads." Li Chengqi reminded the other party to get down to business.
"I, I want to ask Li Yi to come over and help me plan." Pei Yaoqing knew the method, but he wanted to do it in an orderly and skillful way.
It was just that Li Yi was in charge of every detail. He didn't trust anyone else.
"Pui!" Li Chengqi didn't act like King Song at all. "Do you have any shame? I've given you an idea and I'm willing to exchange it for food. Are you still not satisfied? "
"How many people are there in each area? How were they going to split it? What if it doesn't snow after the distribution? There are other things that I don't know. Why don't I ask Li Yi to be a county officer?
Chang 'an County Magistrate is Secondary Grade Eight. He's a County Magistrate of the Si Gong County Magistrate, which is the same as the Si Gong Army Officer of the State Capital. He's very powerful. "
Pei Yaoqing wanted to give Li Yi a small official position to be in charge of civil engineering. He wanted Li Yi to do more work.
"Pui!" Li Chengqi spat again. "Why don't I dismiss you and let my brother Yi take over as the head of Chang 'an instead?"
"How can I be the head of Chang 'an? I'm just a child, "Pei Yaoqing muttered.
"Do you still think that he's under your rule?" Li Chengqi showed a look of disdain.
"…" Pei Yaoqing didn't want to say anything. He wanted to go back and instruct his subordinates to do their work. He didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to get it done.
When the carriage was about to reach the city gate, Li Chengqi said, "I'll help you solve the work of some people first. Get them to flatten the ground. The ground hasn't frozen yet, and the layer of frozen soil isn't thick yet. It'll save you a lot of trouble if you start the construction as soon as possible."
Pei Yaoqing smiled, "Thank you, Governor Li."
After entering the city, the two parted ways. Pei Yaoqing went to work on the slag and the census.
Li Chengqi looked for a few of his younger brothers to get money and start a football league together.
They would pay for the initial investment themselves. After which, they would look for others, especially businessmen, to get advertising fees.
Zhang Shuo ran back to the palace and went to the Political Affairs Hall. Yao Chong wasn't there, and Lu Huaishen was nowhere to be found.
He turned around and went to Xingqing Palace.
Sure enough, he saw two people there. He also saw Wei Zhigu.
Then, His Majesty flipped through the booklet, page by page.
Zhang Shuo moved closer to Yao Chong and asked in a low voice, "His Majesty is …"
"He's checking the family booklet and relatives. He said that he's going to select people to be local officials," Yao Chong replied in a low voice.
"It's a pity that there's no Imperial Ancestral Temple official. Otherwise, we can just ask directly," Lu Huaishen said.
Zhang Shuo didn't answer. It was impossible for there to be an Imperial Ancestral Temple official. Because the Retired Emperor was there, there were many things that couldn't be said or done.
Last year, Princess Jincheng, who was married to Tubo, said that Zan Pu's mother had died. Therefore, His Majesty temporarily arranged for Zuo Qingdao's Imperial Ancestral Temple official, Li Jing, to mourn for her. When he came back, he dismissed it.
"Has Yuanzhi Wen come out?" Yao Chong looked at Li Longji flipping through the booklet and asked Zhang Shuo about the result of this trip.
"Simple," Zhang Shuo replied with two words.
"Of course it's simple after asking," Wei Zhigu muttered.
Li Longji had just finished flipping through the booklet. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. As if he had made a decision, he opened his eyes and smiled at the ministers.
"Minister Zhang went to Zhuangzi?" he asked.
"Replying to Your Majesty, he added a toilet and flushed it with water. It's easier to get water. Flushing it with water can solve the problem of accumulation," Zhang Shuo replied.
"What about the other matter?" Li Longji asked again.
"The other matter of road construction will be carried out together with Chang 'an's Imperial Magistrate Pei Yaoqing. Using work as relief, it will solve the worries of the imperial court and at the same time relieve the suffering of the people," Zhang Shuo replied.
"If that's the case, then do it. Think about what kind of trouble you'll encounter and how to deal with it. "
Li Longji nodded and said a few more words to criticize them.
It was such a simple matter, yet they had to go to Zhuangzi to ask. If they encountered problems, then go and ask. What did His Majesty need them for?
The four of them excused themselves and went to work.
Li Longji began to call people. He called some of the relatives over and prepared to give them benefits. Then, he would let them become officials in the nearby areas.
Removing this income and increasing the business tax would offend a large number of people.
He couldn't take the lead in this matter. It was good for the relatives. They could help him do things again.
***
In Chang 'an City, many people pushed small carts and went to various squares to collect furnace slag.
There were also craftsmen who went to the toilet to see the situation and made new tools, including wooden basins for flushing water.
Those who worked were those who didn't have food to eat. They went to do things and were given more food.
Those who didn't want to work ate porridge every day. In any case, they had a bowl of porridge a day, so they wouldn't starve to death.
Those who were sick had doctors to take care of them. They could also eat some meat, such as half an egg.
These extra expenses were obtained from Pei Yaoqing's begging.
The women in Pyong Kang Square also took out some. It turned out that they went to the temple every ten days to add incense to the temple and the temple preached scriptures to them.
Now that they saw that Li Yi and Zhuangzi helped a lot of people, they were willing to take some money to help Pei Yaoqing.
Li Chengqi also sent people to recruit people to work. In the west of Chang 'an City, a piece of land was marked out. First, the snow was cleared, and then the frozen soil was dug out.
Next, an underground fire tunnel was built and a cloth wall was built outside.
In addition, a circle of platforms was built for the audience.
The whole city of Chang 'an City felt much more lively. There was a lot of construction in the winter.
Some people mocked that the imperial court was stupid. Why didn't they wait until the weather was warm? Why did they have to wait until winter? It consumed too much material and manpower.
When Pei Yaoqing heard the words from the people, he sneered, "Foolish people, do you think this official doesn't know that winter work is not suitable? But winter work can solve the problem of people who don't have food to eat in winter. "
