Li Family Zhuangzi's new clothes were all military overcoats. Adults and children all wore this.
Military overcoats were not sold to outsiders, but people donated a lot of money.
On average, each person donated 200 taels to support the border.
If a family had six people, they would donate 1,200 taels or 1.2 million taels.
They had no choice. The village was rich. Every family had a big yard, paved with bluestone, and filled with yellow sand.
They hired people to raise poultry and livestock, and hired people to look after the greenhouses.
They were engaged in tourism and the tertiary industry. The rich families in Chang 'an were willing to play in the village, especially their children.
The development of their industry was always managed by Li Yi.
As long as they did not bring outsiders, they could enter Li Family Zhuangzi.
The villagers had not seen Li Yi for a long time, and they missed him.
Li Yi and the others were escorted into the village.
It was still snowing. There was only a thin layer of snow on the road in the village. There were tools to clean the snow on the side, but no one was seen.
The villagers' shoes and trousers were not covered by their military overcoats. They had not cleaned the snow yet.
"Did you hire someone to sweep the snow?" Li Yi asked casually.
"Yes, we hired someone. We study at home or go to the greenhouses to take a look. If there are tourists, we will take care of them," the village chief, Zhang Xiao, answered.
The villagers did not do the work that was too tiring. They hired someone to do it.
In the past, they could not accept this. They always felt that it was better to do it themselves than to give money to others.
When there was too much work, they could either do it themselves and earn less money, or hire someone to do it and increase their income.
Therefore, they made up their minds to find someone and give some money to others.
When they had more time, they would study. They would read newspapers and borrow books from Li Family Zhuangzi to read.
Only when tourists came over would the villagers take care of them. They were afraid that others would not do their best.
For example, if the tourists were in a bad mood, they would not come in the future.
Also, if the tourists' children were not taken care of properly, who would be assured to leave their children in the village?
Taking care of a child for half a month would earn more than what they earned in a year.
Moreover, not one person would take care of one child. Sometimes, more than ten children would live in one family.
"What are you studying?" Li Longji had never inquired about the specific situation in Zhang's village.
"Now he's studying child psychology," a villager answered.
"Yes, learn it so that it's easier to take care of the child. Wen Tian will read it when she has time. It's quite interesting. "Li Yi copied the book himself.
"I'm learning." Princess Yongmu revealed two dimples. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times before she narrowed her eyes.
"That's more like a commoner." Li Dan clasped her hands behind her back and looked at the layout of the village. She was in a good mood.
He hoped that all the people of the Tang dynasty would do the same, and he believed that he would be able to see that day.
His ambition was very grand. At least, Li Yi did not dare to say this because Li Yi had not reached that level at that time.
"Dongzhu, I'm learning to write poems." A twenty-four or twenty-five year old young man excitedly said to Li Yi.
"Poem?" Li Yi paused. He did not know how to evaluate the other party's behavior.
What he knew was that this person was illiterate in the past. He was poor and had no money to study.
Now that he wants to write a poem, should I encourage him?
"Do you have any poems?" Li Yi decided to bear with it.
"Yes, I'm writing about ducks." The other party nodded confidently.
"One duck is not warm enough, two ducks together to keep out the cold?"
For some reason, Li Yi thought of these two sentences. They left a deep impression on him.
The young man blushed. "I can't write such a good sentence."
Li Yi: "…"
"Tell me!" Li Chengqi was eager to see the world in chaos.
"Okay! The ducklings don't hatch for long. They shake the soles of their feet and follow the mother duck to swim into the river. One day, the ducklings grow up and the mother duck enters the soup pot. Nest after nest, some die and some live. "
The young man lowered his head and recited the poem he wrote with a trembling voice.
The people around him frowned. This … this is called a poem? Is it shit?
"Okay, it rhymes, and … it can touch people's hearts. It's much better than some bullshit that doesn't rhyme at all.
In other words, it's: Old die, new life live, everything competes with the heavens. But if you love the things around you, don't lament the passage of time. "
As Li Yi spoke, he raised his arm slightly. Princess Yongmu reached out to hold his arm as if their hearts were connected.
Li Yi really didn't know how to criticize the other party's writing.
But the meaning was good, and the other party was trying hard to rhyme the poem.
It was hard to say. Looking at the lyrics and songs, most of them were not seven or five characters. In the middle, there were four or six parallel lines and two or three short sentences.
It was just that this was more like a modern poem. The difference was in the use of words.
The other party used to be illiterate and worked hard to reach new heights. He should be supported.
The other party was in his twenties and had been writing for a long time. Ten years later, the situation would be different.
The young man was encouraged, but he took off his hat and scratched his head. "Dongzhu, what do you mean by that?"
"If I love someone I love, I will have no regrets." Peach Blossom One said from behind. After saying that, he stuck out his tongue and quickly lowered his head.
"Lyrics?" The young man found it familiar. Then, he remembered that Dongzhu had spread it.
"Yes, true love is as vast as the grassland. Let's continue walking." Li Yi snorted. At the same time, he made a gesture with the hand that was not held.
Everyone walked forward. The palace maids and eunuchs behind them hummed softly. "Layers of wind and rain can't stop us. There will always be a time when the clouds part and the sun shines brightly …"
This was the background music. It had to be soft and not cover the sound of the conversation. It had to be done as much as possible to set the atmosphere and not overshadow the main character.
Li Yi listened to it and felt comfortable. It was unlike some of his previous videos where he had to add 'Hmm? Tut! Hahaha! 'and other similar sounds that set off the theme were endless.
Also, the background music was very loud at the beginning. It seemed that it wouldn't be a good video without background music.
He didn't allow it. The palace maids and eunuchs knew how to control the situation.
The others were very natural, but Guo Ziyi listened carefully and thought about it.
He realized that the palace maids and eunuchs cooperated very well. They were even better than his Winged Knights.
Such background music, coupled with the falling snow, made people's hearts ripple.
"My family is now growing soybeans in the greenhouse. The bean worms are all buried. The main thing is to eat edamame during the new year. It's more than ten times more expensive than soybeans."
"My family is growing garlic bolts. They're now bolting. We also have garlic sprouts in the greenhouse at the back. They're selling well."
"My family …"
"It's all taught by Dongzhu. Does Dongzhu still need money at the border? My family will donate another five hundred taels? "
"Toads can't be sold at a high price. We're all rearing forest frogs and are preparing to buy frog oil."
The villagers of Zhang Clan's village talked about the situation of their families. All of them had become rich.
Zhang Xiao nodded continuously at the side, indicating that the villagers were indeed like this.
As for his own reduced power, it didn't matter.
Fighting for power with Dongzhu? What a joke!
If it wasn't for the moment when they handed over the blank account books, the villagers wouldn't be living a good life now.
"It'll be better next year. You'll be responsible for cultivating new crops. You're not allowed to eat them. If you can eat some, you'll earn more money."
Li Yi wanted to go outside to get seeds and then teach some of them to the people of Zhang Clan's village.
