When Wang Wei saw Li Yi's painting, he was stunned.
He had never thought that a painting could make a person look like a real person.
He looked at his painting of Du Juan again. He thought it was pretty, but compared to Li Yi's painting, it was over!
"Doctor Li, Du Juan is yours tonight." Wang Wei decided to let Du Juan accompany Li Yi.
"Why? You want to say goodbye? You want to entrust your woman to me? "Li Yi looked at Wang Wei with a strange expression.
In his heart, he thought, "Are you stupid? Who is next to me? "
Wang Wei was stunned again. "Just kidding, just kidding! Don't take it seriously! "
As he spoke, he started to sweat in the cold weather.
"Let's go, Wen Tian and Xiao Lan. Let's get in the car. I'll paint for you two." Li Yi pulled the two of them into the car. It was cold outside.
…
The next stop was Mao Township. Although it was called Mao Township, it was actually a county under the jurisdiction of Guo State. It was very close to Hongnong.
The distance between the two was less than 50 miles. The sky was dark, and most of Mao Township was plains. There was Jing Mountain in the south.
It was said that this was where the Yellow Emperor built the cauldron. However, according to the information, it was only recorded nearly a hundred years later.
Now, it was just a matter of word of mouth among the people.
Mao Township was in a good location. It had mountains and plains, and a large population.
Due to the decline in the price of silk, which was replaced by coupons, the local people started to plant greenhouses.
They also planted two batches of indica rice. They didn't know what to plant after harvesting the second batch of indica rice, so they soaked the fields with water and soaked the roots of the indica rice.
They planned to replan next year to see if they should spend more labor and fertilizer to plant three batches of indica rice or save the trouble and plant one batch of winter wheat.
If they planted winter wheat, they would have to harvest two batches of indica rice next year. There wouldn't be enough for them to plant other crops, so they would have to cultivate the land.
Or they could plant rape. They would eat vegetables without picking the seeds. Picking the seeds belonged to winter rape, just like winter wheat.
Obviously, it was more cost-effective to plant winter wheat as it was the main grain. Rape produced oil and couldn't replace the main grain.
The fields of indica rice was filled with water. Now, there was a layer of ice on it, pushing the snow away. The children were playing with ice carts on the ice.
Their small hands were red from the cold. They put them in front of their mouths and blew on them, or stuffed them into their bosoms to cover their hands.
Some of the older children rubbed the snow. They grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it quickly with their hands. They rubbed the snow and melted it, making it feel less cold.
For snow to turn into water, the temperature had to be above zero. Snow was a heat transfer medium.
Rubbing the snow would warm it up a little, but the water would gradually freeze and the skin on his hands would crack.
The best way was to put her hands in her bosom to warm them up and then slide them with the ice.
"There are so many children, but they don't wear gloves." Princess Yongmu also played with ice carts and could even skate.
In the summer, he didn't play with pulleys, so the supply of bearings was insufficient. The few bearings he had were used on ships and grinding equipment.
"There's no point in wearing gloves. Wool and fur gloves are warm, but your hands are hot and sweaty. You won't be able to hold the ice drill.
Even if she wore ordinary thread gloves, her hands would still be frozen, and she wouldn't be able to hold the ice drill.
For things like rubbing snow, after rubbing, one's hand would stick to the iron drill. It would be fine if one just held on for a while, and a layer of skin would not stick off.
It's the most troublesome to lick it with one's tongue. If it sticks, you have to open your mouth and exhale. "
When Li Yi was young, he saw his neighbor's children licking the well. They got stuck and pulled, and their mouths were full of blood. It took a few days for them to recover.
The parents told their children not to lick, but the children were curious, including Li Yi.
Li Yi once licked the iron of the iron gate. He was dumbfounded when he licked a little. He didn't dare to pull and exhaled. It took him a lot of effort to remove his tongue, but it was numb for a whole day.
It was like the feeling of Speed Gel sticking to his hands. Since then, he stopped licking.
"In the past, there weren't many children playing with ice carts." Wang Wei looked at a group of children playing with ice carts and recalled the situation in his county.
"Do you know why?" Li Yi followed the topic and asked.
"Li Family Zhuangzi's newspaper didn't publicize it. Publicity is very important." Wang Wei wanted to be a good official, so he analyzed the reason.
Li Longji turned his head and looked at Wang Wei. He was hesitating whether he should continue to ask Wang Wei to be the Deputy County Magistrate.
Li Dan said, "It's because there isn't enough iron. There are two iron rods under the ice carts. The drill is also made of iron nails in the wooden rods.
The iron of an ice cart can be made into a kitchen knife. Who would be willing to make an ice cart for their children? "
Wang Wei lowered his head slightly. He didn't guess it right. It turned out to be iron. His family never lacked iron.
Noble Consort Lu added, "Nowadays, there is a lot of coal, and it can be stewed. It's easier to smelt, so more iron can be used."
"It means that the Tang dynasty doesn't need to deploy soldiers. We can also make more chainmail." Empress Wang started to talk about military affairs.
"The common people have a lot of iron tools. It's convenient for them to work and harvest crops. They don't need to borrow sickles from others. They can also use iron for plows. It's many times better than bamboo and wood."
Wu Jieyu continued to analyze from the perspective of the common people's work.
Wang Wei was even more hurt. He realized that he was too stupid.
Anyone could understand it. He was still thinking about how to smelt iron.
He didn't think about it carefully. These people were always in Li Family Zhuangzi. Li Yi talked about various ideas and social and economic relations all day long.
The kind of people you were with naturally what you learned, even if you didn't take the initiative to learn.
"Doctor Li, do the officials of Lantian County know about these things?" Wang Wei felt pressured.
He was chasing after the Emperor and finally met him. The opportunity was in front of him. He could directly become a county deputy and take the imperial examination.
It was an early training. In the end, if he didn't know anything, how could he be trained? Would he be abandoned?
"You're mainly going there to learn. There's a county deputy there. Lantian County is very stable in all aspects. There's not much to worry about. You have to learn the economic development arrangements and adjustments under the new tax system. "
Li Yi comforted Wang Wei. To be honest.
If one expected a person to know everything, then why would the person who took the imperial examination need to learn again?
After passing the examination, those people had to learn in the Ministry of Personnel Affairs.
The reason why aristocratic families and big clans were powerful was that their children watched the elders in their family govern the place.
It was precisely because of this that the children of a high-ranking official would learn from him.
Not passing the imperial examination didn't mean that they didn't know how to govern the place.
Those who could pass the examination were valued more. The others were not useful at critical times.
After telling Wang Wei to learn, Li Yi suddenly reminded him.
"I'm asking you to learn, not to let you enjoy leisure there. You can't play with monks and Daoists when you have nothing to do."
Li Yi considered the things recorded in the information. Wang Wei was an official and spent all his time fooling around with a group of people who had nothing to do with politics.
A person's energy was limited. If he spent more on one aspect, he would naturally spend less on another.
Wang Wei frowned. He wanted to study these things. If he wasn't allowed to communicate, how could he learn?
"Doctor Li, I think we should do nothing..."
"Do nothing to govern, right? The so-called inaction is actually called a market economy.
However, a market economy needs to be adjusted by a planned economy. If you really don't do anything, why are you an official?
If you don't do anything, you can get a salary as an official. Can the commoners eat without doing anything? "
Li Yi interrupted Wang Wei's words. If you don't do anything, it would be useless.
