"One year, there's still one more year." After getting on the carriage, Li Longji muttered as he looked out of the window at the light snow that was still floating.
Empress Wang was eating snacks. When she was half full, she would eat dried fruits.
She only ate two walnuts a day. The others were hazelnuts, pine nuts, torreya, ginkgo, almonds, and watermelon seeds.
There were no peanuts, no pumpkin seeds, no sunflower seeds, and no pistachio seeds.
Now that she had eaten all the fruits that she could eat, there were fewer varieties. However, there were many frozen autumn pears. They needed to be melted and eaten when the temperature rose, or squeezed into juice.
She was waiting for her daughter to be born. She was better than the little fellow. The little fellow was too naughty.
"Is it the railway?" Empress Wang knew that Bi Goo was worried sick. They had agreed to pay slowly.
In the end, Li Yi pushed it and spent 15 million yuan a year to make steel.
The profits of the railway were not handed over to the imperial court but directly converted into the expenses of other railways.
"There are also seeds. With the arrival of new seeds, the people can choose more crops, such as potatoes, corn, and peanuts."
Li Longji was looking forward to it. Just one year, persevere.
When he didn't know that there were better crops, he didn't think much of it.
After knowing, he thought about it all day.
He couldn't get the profits of the railway, but he could collect taxes from the merchants who used the railway. The consumption of the people along the railway also increased.
In the future, the construction of the railway would not need the imperial court to pay for it.
"With uncle here, everything is easy." Empress Wang comforted Li Longji.
"En!" Li Longji had a smile on his face.
The financial problem was no longer a problem. Li Yi could always think of ways to make money.
The key was that he was stable. When he pushed for some things, he took one step at a time. He was so stable that others couldn't find a way to stop him.
Unless they sent men of sacrifice to assassinate him, his will would not change.
How difficult was it to deal with the aristocratic families? In front of Li Yi, they couldn't even move. They were completely suppressed.
Other people were young and frivolous, willing to go out and show off.
Li Yi promised not to go out if he could. He hid in Zhuangzi all day.
Once he went out, he would be surrounded by guards.
…
"Li Lang, I'm sleepy." Princess Yongmu was in the same car as Li Yi. She didn't get enough sleep last night.
Li Yi got up and put down the bed next to him. He patted it and said, "Sleep here. I'll sit down and take a nap."
He didn't let Princess Yongmu sleep on his lap, and he didn't want Princess Yongmu to lean on his shoulder to sleep either.
That way, both of them would be tired, and they would only do it if they had no other choice.
Princess Yongmu closed her eyes. Li Yi smiled and went over to carry her to the bed.
"Li Lang, are you going to Hongnong to arrest someone?" Princess Yongmu was lying on her side.
"Just bring Lan Bao's sister-in-law back. We can't arrest her. Hitting the wife is a family matter. If the wife doesn't want a divorce, what can others do?"
Li Yi could not find a good solution in terms of law.
He disliked husbands hitting their wives. A capable man's wife would naturally be docile.
However, he felt that a capable man's wife should be very lively and happy every day like a child.
He didn't need to use violence to establish his status in the family. Generally, a man who hit his wife at home was useless outside.
He had to check on Lan Bao's sister-in-law's injuries, including mental injuries.
Whoever started the trouble should end it. Since she was mentally injured, he had to help her take revenge.
Li Yi felt that the status of women in the Tang dynasty was still very high. At least a woman could unilaterally ask for a divorce.
Moreover, the dowry was not given to the husband's family. The woman was in charge of it herself.
If the dowry was a thousand mu of land, the woman would be in charge of it herself. The husband's family would not get it.
The husband's family had to give the woman enough respect. They were rich.
Eating and wearing the husband's family's clothes, the husband's family was not allowed to confiscate the woman's dowry.
The key point was that Lan Bao's sister-in-law was a divorcee. She didn't have much dowry and couldn't give birth to children. Her status in the family was low.
The man could divorce his wife or find another woman. He had the right to do so, even if it was the man's fault.
Due to the lack of medical technology, it was impossible to determine whose problem it was, and the woman was at a disadvantage.
"Li Lang, other than Lan Bao's sister-in-law, there are other women who also suffered." Princess Yongmu was sentimental.
"Yes, this kind of thing always happens." Li Yi had no choice. The same thing happened in every country.
Of course, there were also powerful women who abused men. Not only could they hit, but they could also use force.
"Li Lang, will you hit me?" Princess Yongmu opened her eyes and looked at Li Yi.
"Why would I hit you? You still don't know me. I love peace, but I don't have the strength to truss a chicken. I will tremble at the sight of blood.
Let's make it clear first. When I marry you in the future, you can't hit me. If you bully me, I will cry in front of you. "
Li Yi said with an aggrieved expression, as if he was very weak.
"Hahaha ~ ~ ~" Princess Yongmu laughed happily.
Before she met Li Yi, she never knew that life was so fun.
She had seen Li Yi when he was angry. His eyes were narrowed and there was a special smile at the corner of his mouth.
Usually, after that, someone would be unlucky.
Li Yi usually gave people the impression that he was very gentle and not angry.
Especially when he talked to her, he was always like that … just like that!
Now he was pretending to be weak. Too interesting!
"Go to sleep. We won't stay for too long. We should arrive the day after tomorrow. Then we have to come back for the New Year. Xiao Lan, go to sleep too. "
Li Yi looked out the window and felt that life was fulfilling.
"I can't open my eyes either." Xiao Lan closed her eyes and complained.
Li Yi went over, picked her up, and put her on the other bed.
Xiao Lan quickly covered her head like an ostrich.
After a while, she lifted a corner of the blanket and looked at Li Yi with red eyes.
Li Yi was still looking out the window. The snowflakes outside were beginning to form and became six petals.
In other words, the light snow had turned into moderate snow. If it was a heavy snow, the snowflakes would be in clumps.
Moderate snow like this was not easy to hold into a ball after falling. It was relatively hard.
The snow that had formed proved that the temperature was low.
Li Yi was not looking at the snow. He was thinking about the upper respiratory tract infection.
If necessary, he had to write down the prescription now and get someone to send it back to the Li Family Zhuangzi. He had to print it into newspapers and send it everywhere.
He hated this kind of snow the most. Compared to the snow that had formed into clumps, the temperature would drop significantly tomorrow.
He was not afraid of goose feathers flying, only of the north wind blowing.
The heavy snow that fell slowly was just a bit troublesome to sweep the snow. The greenhouse had to be cleaned in time.
When the snowflakes formed six petals, the temperature would drop sharply.
When the time came, it would form wind blowing snow, also known as the white hair wind.
Even a ten-mile relay station would not be able to withstand it. The people would not be able to walk that ten-mile road.
"South of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River, has anyone built a brick bed? No, south of the Yangtze River should also be built. "
Li Yi was not worried about the north. Every family in the north had a brick bed.
The south, you could say that it was south. It also snowed in winter.
What was even more terrifying was that it would rain and form freezing rain.
Without a brick bed, freezing rain could really freeze people to death.
"Let's talk about a few more coal mines. Everyone can dig coal by themselves. There's no need to control it. Give the local aristocratic families a chance and let them take control. "
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and prepared to set a trap.
If the aristocratic families cooperated well, it would not be a trap. If they did not cooperate, hmph!
