The people who found a new way to make money went home and continued to look for acorns with worms. There were many acorns in the local area.
Every autumn, the people would collect them, dry the shells and put them into sacks.
When there was a lot of staple food, they would try to eat less acorns. It would take time to process them and they would not taste good.
When there was not much work to do in winter, they would start to process acorns and eat them as staple food to save other food.
At present, the people were waiting for more shelling equipment to be manufactured before soaking and making vermicelli.
Vermicelli could be stored for a long time. As long as they were soaked for a long time, the vermicelli would not taste bitter.
Li Yi was also resting. Meng Haoran and Wang Wei ran to a corner and stayed there, whispering about something.
They looked very low-key, or it could be said that they were like a little wife who had been bullied.
"Where did Mo Jie and Haoran go?" Li Yi did not see the two of them. Normally, the two of them should be by his side.
"Sigh!" Li Longji sighed and looked at his eldest daughter. He shook his head and said, "They ran to a corner to discuss how to be a good county deputy."
"Why do they have to hide? I have some experience in being a county deputy. "Li Yi was still puzzled.
In the Tang dynasty, the county deputy was the executive deputy county head, and the county magistrate was the county secretary and county head.
"Brother Yi, do you always share your experience with Wen Tian Yan?" Li Longji was a little afraid of his eldest daughter.
Every time a woman participated in the politics of the Tang dynasty, there was no good result.
"I hate that I can't teach Wen Tian all the skills I know."
Li Yi admitted that he did not teach specifically for the sake of teaching. In daily life, he had to talk, and as he talked, he talked about all kinds of things.
"Wen Tian just now …" Li Longji repeated the content of Princess Yongmu's answer.
"Yes, my Wen Tian has improved. As for Mojie and Haoran, it is normal that they did not answer."
Li Yi finally knew what happened to the two people. They must have suffered too much and could not bear it, so they squatted in the corner and drew circles.
"Brother Yi, do you think it's good for women to be like this?" Li Longji changed the topic back to something serious.
"You have to ask His Majesty who is supporting him from behind. The blood of the Black Tortoise Gate is not cold yet." Li Yi said to Li Longji with a smile.
"Mm!" Li Longji was suddenly at a loss for words.
He was depressed. No one dared to mention the Black Tortoise Gate in front of him. It was taboo.
However, Li Yi said it so naturally that there was nothing wrong with it.
When others talked about the Black Tortoise Gate, it was considered as attacking and complaining.
Li Longji knew that when Li Yi mentioned the Black Tortoise Gate, he was telling others that it would never happen in the future.
Because the Black Tortoise Gate is useless, what does attacking the Imperial City from the Black Tortoise Gate have anything to do with me, Li Longji? I live in Xingqing Palace.
Where should I start if I want to attack Xingqing Palace? It was impossible to break through the eastern city gate. The troops were connected from the city gate all the way to the Li Family Zhuangzi. There were too many of them, too many of them.
If I attack from another place, I will turn around and run to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
If you have the ability, why don't you take down the Li Family Zhuangzi? No, why should I run? As long as the news reaches the Li Family Zhuangzi, Brother Yi will fly over.
Then, Brother Yi will change to a heavy machine gun and kill all the bad guys.
Li Longji was lost in thought. When he came back to his senses, he found that Li Yi was holding Princess Yongmu's hand and strolling about 50 steps away from him.
"It's good that Yuanshu knows more things, she won't be bullied." Li Longji thought it through.
With Li Yi's personality, how could he push Yuanshu to the throne?
"Wen Tian, you must learn how to hide your strength in the future. Look at how you attacked those two scholars. Don't you think it's pitiful?" Li Yi was teaching Princess Yongmu.
"Hahaha ~ ~" Princess Yongmu laughed, "Yes, yes, but they are so stupid."
Li Yi covered his forehead with his other hand. "That's right! Hahahaha ~ ~ ~ "
He couldn't help but laugh. The two of them were unlucky and unprepared.
Luckily, he gave them a chance. If they couldn't answer the first time, they wouldn't be eliminated.
From another perspective, Meng Haoran and Wang Wei were not wronged that Li Longji looked down on them.
He had mentioned various things, but the two of them didn't think about it carefully. Opportunities were prepared for people who were prepared.
Did they think that they didn't need to care about anything by Her Majesty's side and only needed to wait for success?
"Li Lang, you are still protecting them. If not, you should be kicked out of the team. There are no idle people in our team."
Princess Yongmu became serious. She looked down on Wang Wei and Meng Haoran.
In her eyes, the two of them were useless. They couldn't eat enough and couldn't do anything.
Who in the team was bad? This included the young eunuchs and palace maids who served tea.
There was also the craftsmen who could repair the carriage at the fastest speed. Needless to say, the Winged Knights.
Even if it was the little guy and Bao Er, they could still provide happiness for the adults.
The little girl Feng Qingdai was young, but her medical skills were not bad.
… …
A day passed. The next morning, the team set off with many acorns with holes.
The commoners didn't ask for money. They said that it was a gift to Li Dongzhu. They borrowed five taels of silver and would return it to Li Dongzhu when the next year was better.
Li Yi couldn't stand this. The commoners were too simple. He asked people to give each of them ten big honey pills to treat malaria.
The pills were distributed according to the number of people. If the commoners sold them, the price would be much higher than the acorns with worms.
The commoners knew that the Li Family Zhuangzi had medicine to treat malaria. Now that he had it in his hands, he didn't plan to sell it. He kept it with a wax seal on it.
If he accidentally contracted malaria, it would save his life.
"The commoners want nothing more than food and clothing." Li Longji sighed. The commoners were too good. They were reasonable. If you were good to them, they would be good to you.
"After they have enough food and clothing, they won't think this way. They will want to be well-off. People's desires are endless."
Li Yi didn't think that the commoners were simple. They just needed a belief. They would believe in whoever could give them a good life.
Of course, if one knew how to bluff, the commoners would also believe. Many leaders of countries relied on bluffing to get to their positions.
Li Yi thought about it and suddenly remembered that the people above him did things properly.
So many officials fell from their positions. It definitely wasn't because they were unlucky or because they took sides.
He felt that it wasn't the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. There were also problems within the Commission for Discipline Inspection, including people in the inspection team being arrested.
There was probably a special team in the General Staff Department that was carrying out orders, like the East Faction Guards.
"Will there be a rebellion?" Li Longji couldn't help but worry.
"No. The newspapers are controlled by us now. The people in Nanqu and the palace are working hard to write songs praising His Majesty. Plus, His Majesty has absolute military power."
Li Yi said to calm Li Longji down. Indeed, there was no way to rebel.
There were two purposes for a rebellion. One was to seize the rightful throne of the Tang dynasty, and the other was to separate the territories.
Neither was possible. If anyone dared to show up, they would be beaten up.
… …
The mountain roads were difficult to travel, and the troops were relatively slow. The Winged Knights had the hardest time. No matter how steep the surrounding terrain was, they had to control the situation within 20 miles.
The Winged Knights treated it as a drill. They knew that no one would dare to attack them, but they still acted as if they could be attacked at any time.
The Winged Knights had their own pride and glory. They were in the Tang dynasty's strongest army.
