Meng Haoran and Wang Wei followed behind and listened in confusion. Although the two of them had land at home, they did not know how to farm.
Meng Haoran knew that farming was important, but he did not know what kind of crops were.
Now that he was listening to Li Yi explain the specific knowledge of farming to the villagers, he felt tired.
It seemed that Li Yi was proficient in everything, including the problem of women not having children.
The villagers did not have any other thoughts. They were used to it.
In a tent of a family, a group of people were listening. After listening, they told the others.
"If you don't want the chives to be spicier, cover them with two more layers of silk. The chives will turn yellow. Without the synthesis of chlorophyll, the spiciness will be reduced."
Li Yi came to the field of chives under the shed and looked at the chives. Because of the lack of photosynthesis, the chives were not very green.
If they were covered, the chives would be even more yellow.
"Dongzhu, is it too late? My family did not plant chives this year. "
The villagers were anxious. When Li Yi said that something was good, they believed that it would make money.
"Try it. Your family does not lack the silk." Li Yi knew that the villagers were rich.
"Okay!" The villagers agreed.
"How much is the silk now?" Wang Wei asked Meng Haoran. Wang Wei's family was rich and did not care about the value of money.
Meng Haoran thought: "500 coins?"
"130 coins, Chang 'an exchange." Li Yi turned around and gave the exact price.
If a bolt of silk was brought to the Li family's farmstead, he would be able to get 130 coins, not the previous 550 coins.
Therefore, there were fewer people weaving ordinary silk. The ones outside were used to exchange goods.
The imperial court still collected the original amount. The imperial court suffered a loss and the people benefited.
Some people thought that the imperial court was stupid and did not know the problem.
The imperial court was subsidizing the people because they were rich. With so much money, why would they bully the people?
"In the future, the price of silk will drop to 80 to 100 coins. It can't go any lower. Its application value is there."
Li Yi drew a fluctuating range for the price of silk. If it was lower than 80 coins, everyone would make clothes.
Silks that had been in storage for a long time, were of poor quality, and were sold at a low price. The commoners took them to see if they could be made into small clothes.
If it really didn't work, he could make shoes and boots, layer by layer, and glue them together.
Even worse, it can't even be made into shoes. Paper can be sold to paper mills. This is a good material.
"In the future, we need to plan the planting area for cotton. The local food crops and vegetables must be sufficient before we are allowed to plant cotton.
Hexi Jiedushi's place didn't count; it was planted there because the climate was suitable and the local fruits were good.
The temperature difference between day and night is big, so the yield of rice and wheat is low. Highland barley is fine. Cotton can be planted there, and it will be a key area in the future. "
As Li Yi talked about the silk, the topic turned to cotton.
The Hexi Jiedushi was located in the Xinjiang of his time. At that time, there were more Muslim religions.
In that kind of restaurant, there were more rules, and it was quite annoying.
No drinking or smoking.
Many of the rules were added later. When did tobacco reach the territory of Islam? You didn't have it before, but now that you did, you forbade it?
Li Yi usually didn't go to such restaurants to eat. He felt restricted. He went to eat, not to fight.
There shouldn't be regional attacks, and there shouldn't be ethnic hatred.
"So we should raise less silkworms?" Wang Wei had decided to write a letter home and tell his family not to hire people to raise silkworms.
"Wrong, we should raise more silkworms. Silk is valuable, and a bolt of good brocade and satin can be exchanged for thousands of stones of grain. Others don't have it, and silk is an honor."
Li Yi quickly made it clear. Don't give up, continue to raise silkworms, and we can use them for export.
Spices, silk, porcelain, which one of them didn't make money?
Do you know how big the trade surplus was before the Opium War?
Wang Wei immediately dispelled the idea of writing a letter home. Yes, sell it to outsiders and make more money.
Li Yi strolled around and gave pointers to the crops one by one.
The villagers used their heads to write, and the palace maids and eunuchs used pens to write.
When they go back, they can tidy up and choose useful things to write into a book.
The people in the imperial court compared Li Yi to Confucius, and Confucius's analects were summarized by later generations.
Confucius taught the general direction and mainly focused on the rules of behavior.
Li Yi was very specific, including the mutual status and means between countries, agriculture, fortifications, medical, education, economy …
Confucius didn't teach how to grow watermelons to make them sweet, but the impact of watermelons on society.
Li Yi directly said what problems would be encountered when growing watermelons and what methods to use to solve them.
The people in the imperial court felt that Li Yi's words were more practical, and every step he took brought about absolute benefits.
Of course, occasionally, he would write poems to be romantic when he was bored.
When Li Yi finished speaking, he took a long time to walk out.
"I'm going back, don't send me off." Li Yi said goodbye to the villagers, as he came over to relax.
He also wanted to solve the small problem of growing watermelons. It was so close, and he didn't want them to send him back to Zhuangzi.
"Dongzhu, we won't send you off. When you need a Million People Watch, we will give it to you. We can also write a Million People Book for Her Majesty. If you want to impeach someone, we will help."
The village chief, Zhang Xiao, guaranteed Li Yi on behalf of the villagers that the Zhang family's village was close to Chang 'an, and they were rich and had many people.
If such a village caught an official to write a Million People Book for Her Majesty, the official would have to avoid suspicion, ask for leave, and go home to wait for the results.
"When I went to Hongnong, I took several Million People Watches along the way. It's enough. I'll look for you when I'm done. Thank you, everyone! "Li Yi clasped his hands.
"You're welcome." "Dongzhu, if you need anything, just say it." "If you don't like someone, we will go and block their door."
The villagers were full of enthusiasm and clasped their hands.
Wang Wei and Meng Haoran: "…"
Once again, they felt the importance of the people's hearts, which could help to get rid of political enemies.
The most annoying thing was that the more people didn't need it, the more people were willing to give it to them.
If Li Yi wanted to get rid of an official, did he need a Million People Watch? How many local officials wanted a Million People Watch but couldn't get one because the people didn't want to put their fingerprints on it?
"Third brother, look at the people's hearts. How many Million People Watch can I get if I just call them and write it in the newspaper? What kind of official should I be? "
Li Yi said with a smile as he walked back.
"Do you want the throne? All the people in the capital government will push you to the throne if you call them. "Li Longji was more direct.
"No. Then I'll be a Secondary Class Rank 2 civil official. I'll also raise the rank of Martial Official. It's too low. Secondary Class Rank 9 civil official and Secondary Class Rank 2 civil official, a pair."
Li Yi shook his head. What's so good about being an emperor? It's not free.
"General of the army?" Li Longji asked Li Yi. This was the Secondary Class Rank 2 civil official.
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded and looked at the others.
The others also nodded. Whatever, Secondary Class Rank 2 then. When the time comes, you will be paid. When you retire, you will also have a salary.
If you have a child, you can be an official. If you and Princess Yongmu have a child, how can you be an official?
"Okay!" Li Longji looked at Princess Yongmu.
Princess Yongmu smiled. She wasn't happy because Li Yi was promoted. She just felt that it was fun.
