Liu Jieyu drank a bowl of steamed egg and had an intravenous drip.
Li Yi tested her first and found nothing wrong with her blood sugar.
He then went to make braised pork and asked someone to find quail eggs to cook.
Li Longji rushed back from Xingqing Palace and went to Liu Jieyu's place to find Li Yi who was cooking.
Li Yi wanted to make a big pot for lunch. He couldn't make braised pork without enough meat as it wasn't fragrant.
"He said that a monk sent a letter to Liu Jieyu. The paper used was a special paper given to Shan Wuwei by the Emperor. The seal was also real."
Li Longji was angry. Those who didn't come with Liu Jieyu's palace were all beaten up.
Those who came with Liu Jieyu would also be beaten up and served by Taohong and the others.
When they recovered, they would take over Taohong and the others.
"Someone went missing at Shan Wuwei's place, right? Don't look for them. They're dead even if you find them. "Li Yi squatted beside the stove and put firewood in.
He didn't use coal as it was hard to control the size of the flame.
The firewood could be put away and the braised pork was already boiling. Now, he needed to lower the fire.
If the fire went out, he used a stick to stir it and the flame came back.
"Who do you think did it? Liu Jieyu has seen the monk before, but I can't tell what he looks like. "
Li Longji helped to pull down the pine cone from the pine tree branch and placed it at the side. He watched as Li Yi adjusted the fire and threw it into the fire, rubbing his hands with pine oil.
"There are surveillance cameras in the palace. Bring them over. I'll change them into photos, enlarge them and post them.
See if anyone is wearing fake hair and hats. Check them out.
The Japanese Empire can't do it. The Japanese Empire's envoys don't have the guts to do such a thing.
The Tujue had a reason. The Tujue needed the Tang dynasty to be in chaos.
Tubo also had a reason. But Tubo was always at a disadvantage. If they were caught, it wouldn't just be a matter of life and death. Also … "
Li Yi stopped. The other thing was the aristocratic families.
Ever since the Tang Dynasty was founded, it had been fighting with the aristocratic families all the way until it was destroyed.
For example, the Lanling Xiao Clan, the Xingyang Zheng Clan, the Fanyang Lu Clan, and the Taiyuan Guo Clan.
Among them, the Guo Clan of Taiyuan had more generals and few troublemakers.
There were many other scholars and prime ministers, but what about those who weren't prime ministers? The provincial governors, regional commanders, protectorates, assistant ministers of the various ministries …
Not only was he an official, but he was also rich.
If Li Longji hadn't brought out thirty thousand Winged Knights and wanted to collect taxes from the capital's government and Henan's government, would the Prime Ministers have agreed? How much pressure were they under?
When Li Zhi was still alive, he forbade them from getting married. Later on, Wu Zetian killed a large number of them, but they still existed.
"Sigh!" Li Longji broke another pine branch and sighed.
"Right now, the Turks can't afford to do anything. The Sulu Cavalry suffered heavy losses. The Khitans and the Xi Tribe have submitted. The Bohai Sea is controlled by trade. The source of the Yellow River in Tubo has been lost. Guangzhou has started to vigorously trade."
Li Yi introduced the surrounding situation.
Li Longji added, "Newspapers are still cheap, and it's easy for the people to read. Tax collection will be tried in two places.
In the future, the Tang Dynasty will become more and more prosperous. There will be many capable people, and it will be difficult for the aristocratic families to influence the court.
You're like a quail hiding in Zhuangzi all day. You don't even go out when I ask you to … "
"Who said that? Am I the one who doesn't want to go out? Third Brother, I'm bold. I want to go out. "Li Yi firmly disagreed with being a quail.
"You don't want to. You have to teach everyone. You don't have time." Li Longji insisted.
Li Yi didn't want to refute. It was meaningless. He continued to gather firewood.
"The key is to keep the fire small and maintain the temperature. Let the broth simmer slowly. If the fire is too big, it won't be edible."
Li Yi changed the topic and talked about the details of the braised pork.
He didn't add soy sauce to the braised pork. He stir-fried it with rock sugar.
A large pot of broth simmered. The lower the broth, the tastier the braised pork would be.
The quail eggs were boiling in another large pot. It had been boiling for a long time. It would be easier to peel the quail eggs after boiling them for a while.
"Leave some broth for Zhuo 'er to eat. I found that he likes to use thick broth to cook rice." Li Longji didn't want to think about who was behind this.
He decided to give an order in the palace. Empress Wang would give the order.
The eunuchs and palace maids had to talk about anything that involved the outside world and changing their habits. If they didn't, they would be beaten to death.
Monks and Taoist priests were also not allowed to go to the harem.
If they felt uncomfortable, they had to go to the Li Family Zhuangzi for a check-up.
Li Yi threw a few pine nuts. "Change it to egg fried rice for the little guy. He won't cook it anymore. He thinks it's tasteless. At the same time, increase the amount of exercise. We can't raise him into a fat boy."
"Do you want to transfer the sons of the aristocratic families from the various ministries and prefectures away from important positions?" Li Longji was sure that the aristocratic families were behind this.
He prepared to take action and deal with a group of people.
He couldn't kill them, but he could transfer them away from important positions.
"We should tell the Honglu Temple to reduce the treatment of the foreigners. For example, reduce it by 10%." Li Yi turned to look at Li Longji.
Li Longji was stunned. He pursed his lips and thought for a while. Then he exhaled deeply. "Endure?"
"Wait until the students have learned what they need to learn. There were so many students who were free litigation masters. I'm going to give them a big lesson.
Find out their family situation and see what they need. This year, many of them passed the imperial examinations.
Also, the students who came to the village to help. For example, the one who wrote the poem of sympathy for the two ducks … Wang Xu. He's a good person. "
Li Yi told Li Longji that they weren't ready yet.
So even if they felt that the aristocratic families were more likely, they had to pretend that they didn't know. They had to let others see that they were suspicious of the foreigners.
In this kind of fight, they either didn't make a move or didn't show mercy.
Li Longji, who had experienced the Xuanwu Gate, smiled. "Brother Yi, do you like to plan for the long term?"
"I like to be clean and decisive. But I can't do that. Wait a few years. There are still many places in the Tang dynasty that don't have enough to eat. I don't know how many people will die of hunger this winter. "
Li Yi's mood suddenly became bad when he said this.
The Tang dynasty only looked at the capital office. It was a prosperous place. If they didn't have enough to eat, they could go to the government for help. Or they could directly go to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
It was different in other places. After all, there were people who slowly lost weight because they didn't have enough to eat. Eventually, they died of malnutrition.
If they went to the government office, they wouldn't care. At most, they would give you a meal and then you would have to go home.
In some places, they wouldn't even give you food. If you starved to death in front of the government office, the government officials would only carry you away and bury you.
Most people wouldn't really go to the government office. They didn't even beg for food. They always thought that they could survive.
"The fragrance is coming out." Li Longji sniffed as if he didn't hear Li Yi's words.
"I have to get the steam engine out quickly. Don't wait until next spring. The sooner the better." Li Yi also didn't talk about the problems of the people in other places.
It was useless to talk about it. It was impossible for him to go there in person and then send food.
While the population of the Tang dynasty was still small, he tried to increase the yield of the land.
More than a billion people could be fed. How could tens of millions of people starve to death in such a large territory?
