"Don't eat too much. Otherwise, your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you kneel and skate later," Li Yi said to the children.
He tried to let the children drink more soup as the soup was digested quickly.
After drinking the soup and playing for a while, they would go out.
The children's ice skates were all kneeling on it, unlike many of his ice skates with benches for sitting.
The difference between the two was in speed, safety, and flexibility.
When kneeling on the ice skates, the child's waist would be used for support and the center of gravity would be lower.
The ice skates could suddenly accelerate, brake, and change directions.
They would not fall on their heads. Usually, they would not be able to control the direction well when they were moving at high speed. If they flipped, they would not be able to drift well.
If they flipped, then so be it. If the child was kneeling, they would be ten to twenty centimeters away from the ice surface. Once they flipped, they would slip out or sit on the ice.
If they used benches, it was easy to fall back and fall on their heads. The speed would not be as fast as kneeling, and it could be three to four times slower.
The children listened to Li Yi's words and nodded while continuing to eat.
For them, it was not easy to eat a delicious meal. They would be sorry if they did not eat until they were full.
Li Yi looked at them and sighed. Fortunately, he let the children drink the soup first. Moreover, the tofu skin they ate was soaked.
There were also frozen tofu and oil bean soaps. There was a lot of water in them. If they ate until they were full, they could still be digested quickly.
"Li Lang, why do Wang Wei and Meng Haoran always like to visit?"
Princess Yongmu realized the situation. In the past, she felt that those students were always looking for this and that to see her father.
Some even used her aunts' connections and even slept with her aunts.
"Zhongnan Mountains, Lu Cangyong." Li Yi said two names. One was a place and the other was a person's name.
Lu Cangyong was a low-ranking official. He went to Zhongnan Mountains to live in seclusion and was promoted. Later, he was chased away by Li Longji because he relied on Princess Taiping.
Princess Yongmu knew about this. She thought for a while and said, "Wang Wei?"
Li Yi: "…"
He looked at Princess Yongmu in surprise. That's right, Wang Wei was always looking for those religious people. Was he also thinking about this?
But as he learned, he fell into the trap.
"Official, you can't always work with your head down. You have to look up at the road. Sigh! "Li Yi was unhappy again.
He realized that no matter what era it was, the officials were all the same.
Including Yao Chong. Yao Chong was recognized only because he wrote a letter to Li Longji.
As for Song Jing, he had used Yao Chong's connections.
After Zhang Shuo was demoted, he used Su Yi's connections. Bi Goo also frequently submitted petitions.
Officials had to have channels and connections. They had to get money from the ministry.
At that time, he was in charge of medical affairs. As long as he had some real power, his family would be rich.
It was impossible to reach that level with just his salary.
It was impossible for a Section Chief to not have tens of millions of assets in his family.
Li Yi had given her a lot of money, and that …
This was the case in China, and it was the same abroad.
In the past, Princess Yongmu would never have understood. At this moment, with Li Yi's words and sigh, she understood.
"Li Lang, you can't solve the problem of governance?" Princess Yongmu thought that Li Yi had a solution for everything.
"Solve what? Solve people, or solve the people's livelihood?
Don't talk about others. Talk about me. I'll be the Suzhou Provincial Governor.
In the past, I increased the people's income by five times in one year, ten times in two years, and twenty times in three years.
In the first year, I coveted one thousand taels. In the second year, I coveted five thousand taels. In the third year, I coveted ten thousand taels.
You are the Emperor. Tell me, what can you do to me?
I can promise you that in two years, I will pay five million taels in taxes in Suzhou.
In Suzhou, I can do it without picking up lost things on the road, without closing the door at night, without caring for the old, without educating the young, without looking at the shabby rooms, and with the whole province happy. "
Li Yi spoke of his true helplessness. You had to arrest according to the law.
After arresting, the income of Suzhou's people would greatly decrease the next year, and Suzhou's people would curse the court.
"I … You … Aiya! Li Lang, you can earn a lot of money on one hand and let the people earn a lot of money on the other, like the Governor. "
Princess Yongmu was worried sick. How to choose? It was too difficult!
"I can do it, but others can't. Others put their mind on making money for themselves and earn more money.
Putting their mind on the people, they don't have the time and energy to make money for themselves, so they can only be greedy.
Otherwise, in the end, the people's income will be much higher than their salary, and the prices will be high.
He won't even be able to eat meat. The people eat big fish and big meat. After they order it, they eat a bite or even throw it away if they don't eat a bite.
Do you think he should eat this meat or not? The children of the people wear silk and satin, while his children wear sackcloth. "
Li Yi spoke of some of the situations of the good officials he had at that time who truly worked for the people.
Were there any good ones? Yes.
The good ones didn't have the money to communicate with their superiors and couldn't get promoted.
What was even more terrifying was that when this official had governed the place well and was ready to prove himself with political achievements, a transfer order was given and he became an official in another place.
Then, officials who didn't have the ability to do anything else but had the experience of using connections with the higher-ups were transferred over to pick the peaches.
This kind of thing wasn't accidental, but common.
At that time, people said that Western countries were clean and honest. When a country's leader brought his country to flatter the so-called strong.
Could his country be clean and honest? Wasn't it contradictory?
Princess Yongmu pouted. She didn't know about Li Yi's past. She just wanted to cry. This world was too unfair.
Li Yi held her hand. "Even if the night is dark, there will still be sunshine. If the sun and moon can change, why not walk in the light? Wherever you and I are, there will be children's bright smiles. "
Princess Yongmu suddenly raised her head and stared at Li Yi. Then, with tears in her eyes, she smiled sweetly and threw herself into Li Yi's arms.
"Bring me along, bring me along." Xiao Lan was anxious and also rushed forward to hug them.
"I'll hug too!" A child put down the skewers in his hand. He didn't know the situation, but he just hugged.
The group of children hugged each other, one by one, hugging each other.
"There are so many people hugging together." Li Longji saw this and snorted twice with his nose like a horse.
"It's warm! It's cold! "Li Dan held Noble Consort Lu's hand and said with a smile.
Noble Consort Lu said, "It's said that Fan doesn't like to use a heater to warm his hands in winter. Instead, he reaches into the arms of a maid?"
"Not since last year. I have someone watching. Every time he warms his hands, 10% of the money will be deducted. After 70%, his hands won't be cold anymore."
Li Longji was talking about his younger brother, Li Fan. When Li Fan's hands were cold, he would reach into a woman's arms to warm them.
Li Yi hated this kind of thing the most. So, after he found out through the intelligence personnel around his younger brother, he deducted 10% of the money every time he warmed his brother.
After 70% was deducted, his younger brother became more sensible.
The intelligence personnel didn't reveal anything. They just told you that they had people around you. Would you dare to deal with these people?
After saying this, Li Longji reacted. Were they talking about Li Fan? It was his eldest daughter who was hugging another man in broad daylight.
Princess Yongmu hugged him for a while and quickly found a topic to talk about, "Li Lang, do you have any tricks for the imperial examinations?"
"Yes, many people who can't pass are stuck at key points. They spend all day thinking about writing poems and don't understand the standards of the imperial court."
Li Yi let go of his hand and patted the heads of the children.
