After the meal, the snow turned from heavy snow to moderate snow with no intention of stopping. The wind did not blow so wildly.
Li Longji and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the wind would not stop blowing snow.
"Brother Yi, what are you most afraid of when it snows?" Li Longji stood beside a vegetable greenhouse and watched the people sweeping the snow there.
"Moving south." Li Yi did not say anything about crushing the houses. He was worried that the snow would fall to the south.
"Why?" Li Longji thought that the roads were blocked or the shacks were broken.
"There is little snow in the south. When the snow falls, the people panic and it is not easy to deal with it.
Traveling is a problem. People in the north know how to walk on ice and snow since young, but they still fall, not to mention the south.
There are crops in the south. When the snow falls, the crops are frozen to death and the livestock are not used to it. "
Li Yi recalled the heavy snow in the south when he was talking about the situation.
They could not walk at all. They did not know how to drive and had to transfer bus drivers from the north.
There were not enough tools to sweep the snow. Who would prepare so many snow removal equipment?
They were used to wearing thin clothes and had to buy new clothes.
When the sun came out, they scattered the snow piled up by the roadside onto the road. They did not understand why there was snow on the road. It was not easy to clear it.
In fact, the snow piled up by the roadside in the north was scattered onto the road after the snow stopped and the sun shone, speeding up the melting process.
Later, there were more people in the south who went to the north. When they went back for the New Year, they looked forward to the snow because they knew how to drive.
Now in the south of the Tang dynasty, the temperature inside was lower than outside. When they wanted to warm up, they had to go out and bask in the sun.
When it snowed heavily, it was colder outside and colder inside. They would get sick.
Li Longji raised his eyebrows. "Will it snow in the south this year?"
"No, there is no need to worry about the drought in the Guanzhong area this year. There are many water networks in the capital, so we have to pay attention to flood control."
Li Yi considered in advance. Previously, there was a locust plague in the east of Taihang Mountains.
Then, there was a drought in Guanzhong. Because of the wells and a series of measures to eliminate the locusts, the two dangers were resisted.
When Guanzhong returned to normal, the water network could easily cause the water level to be too high and unable to drain.
It was okay to plant rice. But if they planted other crops soaked in the water all day, their roots would rot.
No matter how the net was laid out, the water would eventually flow into the river and then into the sea.
Li Chengqi patted the snow off his body. "The ice melts at the beginning of spring, and the canals of the Yellow River will be easier to walk through?"
"Take care. You'll need to do something extra when going up or down, such as the Hukou Waterfall."
In Li Yi's mind, the artificial canal where prisoners on death row were used to line up duds appeared.
Dozens of people had died. Don't think that this was a joke. Only the condemned prisoners would give them a chance.
Fortunately, the prisoners on death row who had to die were left behind. They could be used to practice their surgeries.
Once the canal was opened, the distance would be shortened by a lot, and there would be no need to circle around it.
When the canal passed through Chang 'an, it flowed against the current. When it reached the mountains and entered the Yellow River, it flowed with the current.
From the position of the lower river to the northwest, it was still upstream.
The direction was the same. The Yellow River flowed downstream, then upstream, then downstream to Chang 'an.
In theory, from Chang 'an to the place where the shape of the river was, if they took the canal, the countercurrent would be shorter. Otherwise, they would have to go from the Yellow River in the east to the Hukou Waterfall.
There were many holes in the rocks on both sides of the Hukou Waterfall. Someone had taken a video of it and said that they didn't know what it was for.
What else could it be for? Of course, it was for the boats to drill holes and insert wood to borrow strength.
It was similar to some parts of the Yangtze River. There were holes where the boatmen pulled the reins. The boatmen were not stupid. If there was a place where they could put a stick, why would they not do that? Why did they have to dig the rocks?
"Third Elder Brother, Big Brother, when the train comes out, we can still use the steam engine boats. We can use the steam engine boats to transport the Yangtze River.
The Yellow River is fine too. When it's critical, we can relay the boats back and forth. Even if we don't relay the boats, we can still increase the efficiency.
As for the boatmen, they have non-steam engine boats and steamships. They can help pull the boats. Actually, it's faster for steamships to go upstream in the Yangtze River. "
Li Yi spoke whatever came to mind. He chatted with others about trivial matters and poems.
His conversations were about the people's livelihood. Ever since he came to the Tang dynasty and supported Zhuangzi alone, he had come up with many ideas for the Tang dynasty.
"That's how it should be." Li Longji suppressed his impatience. He wished that he could get it done in one go.
"The Zhang family's village is good." Li Dan was not in a hurry. He was used to it.
What he wanted most was to live a few more years and see more of the Tang dynasty. He was reluctant to do so.
He had experienced too much in his life. He became the emperor again and again, but he was forced to retire again and again.
When he saw his family members die one by one due to internal strife, he was disheartened and had nothing to live for.
When Li Yi appeared, he was reluctant to die.
Li Yi entered the greenhouse and saw a small cucumber about a centimeter long. He plucked two of them, rubbed the cucumber bones with his hands, and gave one to Princess Yongmu.
He took a bite and smacked his lips. "Follow the fertilizer, follow the water fertilizer. Pay attention to the temperature. Don't let it get too cold. "
Princess Yongmu also took a bite. "Hmm, it's not sweet enough."
"Dongzhu, do you want to go to my greenhouse and try a small eggplant?" The villager next to them was anxious. Just one bite is enough. Go to my place, I have more.
"Actually, it's better to have some Mai Fan Stones. Put them around the roots of the cucumbers in the greenhouse and water them. Where can I find more Mai Fan Stones? "
Li Yi walked forward again. He plucked a small eggplant about two inches long, wiped it with his hand, and threw it into his mouth.
Eggplants were sweeter than cucumbers, and the frosted eggplants were sweeter.
Also, the small cucumbers were most suitable for pickling prawn oil side dishes.
They were the Jinzhou side dishes of Li Yi's time. The authentic ones were all small things from the market, including beans and screwdrivers.
"If there are too many, pluck them down. Otherwise, it will affect the growth. There are so many of them. Pluck the small eggplants far away from the main stem and pickle them. They won't compete with other eggplants for nutrients."
Li Yi plucked a small eggplant from another plant and gave it to Princess Yongmu.
"I just can't bear to do it. I know it's written in the newspaper. I think it's enough to get more fertilizer." The villager in the greenhouse was also in a dilemma.
"Let's take advantage of the Chinese New Year and sell them at a good price. If you feel sorry for plucking the small eggplants, I'll charge you three times the price and eat them as fruits."
Li Yi liked to eat raw eggplants, especially the small ones. He didn't eat the big ones with hard skin as they were not delicious.
"I'll deal with them myself." The villager thought for a while and decided not to sell them. He could eat them himself. Even Dongzhu agreed.
"When growing vegetables, you need to consider the nutrients. Just like the grapes, the sharp ends can still be eaten. They're sour."
Li Yi continued walking. He couldn't visit every greenhouse.
He picked this one and told him the problems. The other greenhouses followed this one.
He didn't taste the cowpeas, lentils, and peas. They couldn't be eaten raw.
Chrysanthemum flower and lettuce could be eaten. They belonged to the category of pickled vegetables.
"This is a tourist destination. Do you have enough ginger and garlic? I planted a lot of ginger in the north. It's time to bring them back. "
Li Yi was very patient and considered all the details.
"Yes, but we don't need the garlic. We can grow it ourselves. Now, the garlic stalks and sprouts are all grown by ourselves." The villager answered.
"Okay. Wait a moment. In the winter next year, you can use the greenhouses to help grow things. I won't sell them. I'll give you the money earned from the greenhouses."
Li Yi wanted to grow tomatoes and kidney beans in the same way as the greenhouses to speed up the reproduction.
Unlike the eggplants and cucumbers, these two were easier to keep as seeds.
