"They'll be back in three days on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Hold on a little longer."
Another morning, Bi Goo and the other three chancellors were having breakfast in the Political Affairs Hall.
Su Yi looked at the bread, milk, fried eggs, fried bean worms, and watermelon platter in front of him. He looked as if he couldn't take it anymore.
He was satisfied with the breakfast, but he felt powerless about some of Li Yi's actions.
Song Jing didn't look good. He was the chancellor, but the emperor and Li Yi went out to play, and Li Yi kept giving orders.
It looked like the emperor's decree, but everyone knew the truth.
Since when did the chancellors do chores? What happened to the high position and power?
Bi Goo was depressed. "We need to spend money again. It's not easy to have some savings. How does Xiao Yi know how much money the Ministry of Revenue has?"
"Because he knows how much the Ministry of Revenue earns and spends." Zhang Jiuling had a good impression of Li Yi. He was a dove friend.
"It's actually not a bad idea." Su Yi finished complaining and admitted that it was appropriate to adopt such policies for those people.
"They can't come back for the New Year. I have to provide enough Baggage." Bi Goo was in charge of the money bag, and suddenly became generous.
He knew that there would be money there in the future, and money would increase the revenue.
Now it was an investment. Even if he got tired and joined the league, what he did would be recorded and left his name in history.
"Can we still set off firecrackers this New Year?" Zhang Jiuling asked a question that had nothing to do with politics.
"Are you afraid that the pigeons will be frightened?" Song Jing thought of this first.
"No, I just want to see the fireworks. In today's golden age, the sky should be full of brilliance and the stars should dance." Zhang Jiuling smiled.
He was satisfied. Before he returned to the capital, he saw how much the overseas trade tax was.
All the money earned would be invested in the welfare of the people of the Tang dynasty.
He never thought that the Tang dynasty would be like this one day. It felt like a dream, a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.
"Alas!" Su Yi and Song Jing sighed at the same time.
…
"Li Dongzhu, you must uphold justice for me. Li Dongzhu, the Huang family in the county has invaded my forest."
Li Yi's team was still walking when someone was dragged over by the Winged Knights. No, they were led over and searched. At the same time, the back of that person's collar was grabbed by the Winged Knights.
This person was wearing a coat made of rabbit skin, and there were marks all over it.
He was about forty years old and had wrinkles on his face. He wore a hat made of rabbit skin.
A dog-skin hat is not a dog-skin hat, but a dog-skin hat.
Li Yi was excited. "Quick, tell me, how did you invade your forest? No, what's your name? Oh, what's your name? "
Li Yi was overjoyed. He had finally met someone who was blocking his way to cry out for justice. It was not easy.
"Doctor Li, I am the county magistrate of Luo Nan County, Du Xin. I have something to say. Shi Laoliu's walnut forest has not been occupied. Doctor Li, I have something to say …"
Someone was shouting from afar, announcing his position, county magistrate, and his name, Du Xin.
Li Yi's team was not a group of people who could just kneel down and cry out for justice. The Winged Knights' scouts would have seen them in advance.
Unless the team stopped and joined in the fun.
Otherwise, if he wanted to get close, what a joke. Li Yijingui was not the only one in this team.
"Bring him over, no, summon him over." Li Yi wanted to hear what was going on.
Not long after, a man in his thirties whose exact age couldn't be determined arrived. He was carried away, and was treated the same as the Third Shi that he spoke of.
This was a special case. Sorry, I don't know you. I have to be on guard.
"Du Xin greets Doctor Li. This person is Shi Laoliu, he …"
When this person arrived, he smiled and cupped his fists, even though his collar was being grabbed.
"Did I ask you a question?" Li Yi raised his left hand and gestured for the person to shut up.
"Doctor Li, I have long heard of your name. I have followed your instructions and burned the stones for fertilizer." Du Xin cupped his fists once again.
He then interrupted, "Did I ask you a question?"
"Doctor Li, Shi Laoliu is an unruly citizen. He …"
"Did I ask you a question?" Li Yi's face fell. What are you blabbering on about? Can't I ask Shi Laoliu myself?
"Li … Yes!" Du Xin wanted to continue, but he suddenly shut up. He had no choice. The Winged Knights had already raised his hand and was about to slap Du Xin's face.
"Shi Laoliu?" Li Yi saw that this person was from a well-to-do family.
"It's me, Li Dongzhu." Shi Laoliu was a little afraid. He looked at Du Xin and quickly lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Tell me, how did we invade your family's land?" Li Yi was now sure of one thing. Shi Laoliu's family was planting walnuts.
This meant that there were many people, and it also meant that Shi Laoliu's family had opened up new land.
"They dug a hole in the forest next to my house. Then, they dug into the ground below my house and dug out the stones."
Shi Laoliu said in a muffled voice.
"What stones?" Li Yi could not guess.
"It was written in the newspaper that potassium feldspar can be burned and turned into fertilizer. They dug mine." Shi Laoliu stared at Du Xin.
Li Yi understood, and so did Li Longji and the others who were listening at the side.
The newspaper wrote that there were many mineral fertilizers that could be used together with farm manure. At the same time, the pH of the soil had to be taken into account.
The test paper had started to be used around the capital, and the locals naturally followed suit.
"Aren't there many stones here?" Li Yi was stunned for four to five seconds before he spoke.
"The stones under my walnut forest are very good. The people who dug my stones are from Du Xin's family. He is the brother of his concubine."
Shi Laosan was not an idiot. He explained the relationship clearly.
Li Yi nodded his head and looked at Du Xin, "What do you say?"
"Doctor Li, for the people of this county to live a better life, some people are contributing. Through their hard work, they collect and burn fertilizer for … …"
Du Xin smiled at Li Yi and explained why they were mining. There was also a need to burn cement.
"Very good. Qingsong, bring me a brush and ink. I want to impeach Luo Nan County's County Magistrate, Du Xin. Drag him out. I don't want to see him."
Li Yi had seen many such cases. The officials were always speaking in a bureaucratic manner. When he realized that it was not working, he would punish one or two small fries for others to see.
The matter was obvious. Why did your relative dig up stones from other people? You are telling me that you are developing the local economy?
Luo Nan lacked anything except potassium feldspar. But potassium feldspar was different from potassium feldspar. It seemed that the stones under Shi Laoliu's house had a higher effective content.
Also, the barium content in the soil was not small. This place belonged to Guannei Circuit.
Li Yi was annoyed and did not want to ask anymore. Du Xin, since you are speaking in a bureaucratic manner, fine. I will impeach you. Let's see if you don't postpone it.
"Brother Yi, you can't treat a County Magistrate like this." Li Longji said.
Du Xin did not know Li Longji's identity. When he heard that this person addressed Li Yi as Brother Yi and spoke up for him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Men, drag him out and beat him until he tells the truth." Li Longji said.
"… …"
Du Xin was stunned for six seconds. He was dragged out for six seconds.
Then he reacted, "Who are you? You think you can beat me just because you want to? I am an official. Don't you know the laws of the Tang dynasty? You will face the destruction of your family. "
This time, it was Li Yi's turn, "… …"
Li Yi could not understand. You can see that there are people who can influence me. Who am I? You say that someone wants to destroy my family?
Do you dare to say that my family will be destroyed? If you don't dare, how can you say that you can skip me and punish your people? Do you not want your EQ and IQ?
