Li Longji was anxious. Bi Goo and the other three people's expressions changed, especially Bi Goo. His face instantly turned pale.
How could they have the time to care about whether Li Yi had made a mistake in the development of the Tang dynasty? If they had one less secret plan, then so be it, as long as nothing happened to the people.
The Tang dynasty was developing crazily. If the people died, oh my God! They didn't dare to think about it.
The Winged Knights would probably immediately move out and slaughter the aristocratic families. They wouldn't play with them slowly.
After a few minutes, ten pigeons were brought over.
They were eating and drinking on the shelves of the trough. Obviously, they were very hungry.
The pigeon keepers took off their bamboo tubes one by one, arranged them in a row, and took the pigeons out.
Li Longji opened a bamboo tube, took out the letter, and glanced at it. "Translate, translate for me."
He was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone.
Gao Lishi arranged for someone to find a translator. At the same time, he comforted Li Longji. "Your Majesty, since Li Dongzhu has time to write a secret report, it shouldn't be very urgent."
"Hmm?" Li Longji turned to look at Gao Lishi, then nodded as if to comfort himself. "Yes!"
He took out all the letters from the ten bamboo tubes and found that the symbols on them were the same.
"Look, Brother Yi must be at sea. He's afraid that some of the pigeons can't return. Writing the same content ten times, it shouldn't be very urgent."
Li Longji found another place to prove himself.
Song Jing and the other three people looked at each other and nodded. They were willing to agree.
The two translators ran over with several books.
When they arrived and were about to salute, Li Longji urged, "Translate it quickly."
"Yes." The translators were the Li Family Zhuangzi's people. They first looked at the symbols at the beginning and the end of the letter, then chose a book.
Then, one of them turned the book while the other wrote.
"There's a new law in the Yellow River's Third Gate Gorge. It'll take less than half a month to fix it." "It'll take less than half a month to fix it." "It's still …"
Gao Lishi stood next to them. He read every word that was written.
At the end of the recitation, the matter of a new artificial canal was explained.
The four chancellors: "…"
"You're kidding me? There's nothing in the suitcase. He stood me up at the last minute. Did he know that I was coming over today? "
Song Jing slowed down and took a few deep breaths before speaking in a muffled voice.
"This old man has also calculated the cost of the ship and plank road. I've also contributed." Bi Goo was also depressed.
Your pigeon didn't come earlier or later. Why did it have to come at this time? Did you plan this well?
Was it interesting? You wasted your pigeons just to embarrass us Zaifu?
"Haha! Hahaha! Hahahaha! " Li Longji grinned, "My dear Brother Yi, I'll have to teach him a lesson later. Can't he just put it in the box in advance?"
"Your Majesty, Li Dongzhu is a great strategist. He can solve your worries even from thousands of miles away." Gao Lishi quickly flattered.
He sympathized with the chancellors. It wasn't easy for them to think of something that wasn't in the box, but the pigeon flew back at the crucial moment.
The chancellors must have worried a lot about the Yellow River's Sanmen Gorge.
Li Longji was done being happy. He suddenly reacted, "You've worked hard. This … the plank road needs to be repaired. The new canal will avoid turbulence. However, it still needs to be stretched."
"Your Majesty is right. Li Dongzhu didn't write a budget." Gao Lishi helped to comfort the chancellors. Look, you're all very important.
"Because he doesn't care about money. He needs to race against time and hire more people. He needs to use explosives to blow up the main areas and throw in money. It must be repaired in half a month."
Bi Goo was angry. It wasn't Li Yi's money. Why would he care about the budget?
Zhang Jiuling liked to do civil engineering. He carefully studied the artificial canal planned by Li Yi. He picked up a pen and drew at the side.
As he drew, he said, "Work on it at the same time. Set up a protective net under the ground. Put wood in the holes above to build the plank road.
Where the stone road can be dug out, use cement and steel bars as leverage points. Grab the iron railings and pull the plank. It will be easier to use force.
Li Yi said that the canal would be filled with rocks and water. This is good. He is indeed my confidant. "
Zhang Jiuling had a good impression of Li Yi. He never forgot how he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown.
It was Li Yi who sent people to chase after him. He gave them money and wanted to help repair the road.
Furthermore, Li Yi only bribed people and didn't take bribes. Every time he earned a large sum of money, he would donate it.
"Time is tight. I'll have to trouble you!" Li Longji was in a good mood. He urged them to hurry up and send people to work. It would take some time to get there. Would it be counted as fifteen days?
"We'll take our leave!" The four of them turned around and left. Each of them had a complicated expression on their faces.
One thing that was worth being happy about was that the Li Family Zhuangzi had provided them with a gift box.
"We can't be discouraged. Li Yi has gone far. The pigeons can't fly back." Su Yi thought about it and said helplessly.
"The location of the man-made canal is good." Zhang Jiuling considered the civil engineering.
Everyone ignored him and hurried back to arrange for people. Regardless of how they felt, they had to do what they needed to do.
In Zhuangzi, Gao Lishi kept the letter. "Your Majesty, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No, beer and shrimp. I'll drink. I didn't eat much at noon because I wanted to take a nap. I'm a little hungry."
Li Longji wasn't sleepy anymore. After giving the order, he went to take a bath.
When he came out, the glass house on the rooftop had already placed things for him.
Beer, shrimp, dried fruits, braised food, and pickled vegetables.
He didn't invite anyone and prepared to drink alone. He looked outside through the glass. The sun was shining brightly. He didn't have to worry about being blown by the spring wind.
Just as he sat down, he saw someone through the glass.
"Brother, you're here today. Just in time. Let me tell you."
Li Longji saw that Li Chengqi had rushed over with a lot of things in truckloads.
He wanted to share today's story. A group of Zaefu came here …
Li Chengqi also saw Li Longji. He waved his hand, carried the things into the courtyard, and went upstairs.
"The dried seafood was just delivered from Haizhou. The Winged Knights and other Brother Yi helped to catch it. Many of the shellfish were dived by them."
Li Chengqi put the things in his hands on the table and took out all kinds of dried scallops.
The Winged Knights caught things in Haizhou, boiled them, dried them, and sent them back. They also practiced diving at the same time.
"Brother, let me tell you a joke … Speaking of which, this afternoon …"
Li Longji couldn't wait any longer. He began to tell Li Chengqi vividly.
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~" Li Chengqi couldn't help but laugh. He slapped his thigh hard. These Zaefu were too unlucky. Hahaha …
After laughing, Li Chengqi sat down. "Judging from the situation, there's no problem with Brother Yi. In that case, we can rest assured. "
"Have you sent back all the seafood caught by the Winged Knights of Haizhou?" Li Longji picked up a dried scallop and sniffed it.
"Only one-third. The other one-third is distributed to the local people. Not all the people in Haizhou can eat seashells.
The remaining one-third will be sent to Luoyang to be sold. The money will be distributed to the families of the Winged Knights, including the brothers who died in battle. "
Li Chengqi's tone was low as he spoke.
"Since the House of Subjugation hasn't been abolished, I'll compensate the families of the soldiers who died in the past."
Li Longji thought of the other soldiers from the Winged Knights. The pensions of the House of Subjugation weren't enough.
