"Dongzhu, can you take a look at the soil?" Zhang Xiao, the village chief of the Zhang Family Village, asked Li Yi with a grin. There were traces of dirt on his face.
Li Yi brought Princess Yongmu, Xiaolan, and the others into the village.
The village had to help plant corn and was under martial law.
Only those who had been raising children in the Zhang Family Village were allowed to enter. They had to follow the rules.
The sixteen guards stood guard at the entrance of the village. If they found anyone suspicious, they were allowed to enforce the law. If the other party did not cooperate, they would be killed on the spot.
This was not the case in the past, but now there was a new breed. Either they did not come, or they had to be obedient.
Li Yi squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the furrows. He squeezed it and threw it away.
Taohong handed over a water bag and helped Li Yi wash his hands. There was a lot of fermented farm fertilizer in the soil.
"The moisture is okay. When the corn seeds are dried, take them and plant them.
When they are harvested, they can't be ensiled because of the seeds. They can only be crushed and mixed with other forages to ferment and feed to livestock.
Oh, they can be burned as firewood or crushed to make fertilizer. But our Tang dynasty lacks feed. "
Li Yi recommended that corn stalks be fermented and fed to cattle. Even people could eat them.
In the past, during 'natural' disasters, the country used corn stalks to mix with other things to make biscuits. People ate them to fill their stomachs, but they felt uncomfortable and dry when they went to the bathroom.
The main reason was that there was no oil. The production team's work point model made people lazy. The more they ate from the big pot, the poorer they became.
Thinking of this, Li Yi said, "The destructive power of internal strife has always been higher than external strife. Without perfect rules and regulations, the lower the level, the worse it will be.
Those who make policies can't directly implement them if they can't come up with a full set of supporting strategies.
Rules with many loopholes are instigating people to commit crimes. The emotional management model is a test of human nature and will not last long. "
After that, he pulled Princess Yongmu and continued to walk inside. The palace maids and eunuchs behind them hurriedly wrote.
They understood that Dongzhu's words were said to the highest officials and His Majesty. The ordinary people ignored them.
"Dongzhu, do you want to eat braised frog tonight?" A villager came over and asked.
The braised frog in the Zhang Family Village was the best. It was not for sale now because it could not be sold at a high price. and no one had eaten it.
Later on, he realized that it wasn't worth it. Why was the toad so expensive?
Now that the Zhang Clan's village had money, they could do other things if they didn't want to buy anything.
He continued to catch frogs and cook for himself. There was also a place for him to help Dongzhu raise forest frogs.
Li Yi looked at Princess Yongmu. "Do you want some?"
Princess Yongmu lowered her head and thought about it. "Alright, don't make too many. I'll eat one."
"One for each person," Li Yi said to the villagers.
Now that he didn't restrict the commoners from eating exotic delicacies, they couldn't eat all the frogs they caught and ate normally.
Frogs were nowhere to be seen. The culprits were pesticides and fertilizers.
He planned to research better fertilizers and pesticides in the future. When using them, he would limit the amount and not use too much force.
The water made from plant ash was not omnipotent. It could only deal with some pests. The diseases of the plants themselves needed to be treated with medicine.
There were also problems with the amount of water and the trace elements in the soil, which could all be solved.
"Dongzhu will be having dinner in the village tonight." The villagers couldn't guess Li Yi's thoughts. He only cared about conveying the joyous news.
The villagers instantly cheered. Dongzhu came back yesterday and chose to have dinner in the village today. It was a great honor.
Every family discussed the menu, quantity, who cooked what, where to eat, and so on.
They also had to pay respects to their ancestors, burn incense, and tell their ancestors that Dongzhu came to have dinner. This made them happy.
"Li Lang, other people say that you cultivate your body, unify your family, and govern the country to bring peace to the world. You cultivate your body, unify Zhuangzi, and expand, expand, and expand again."
Princess Yongmu thought of the braised frog and swallowed her saliva. She smiled and said Li Yi's development model.
Li Yi didn't deny it and nodded. "It's about obtaining the right to speak, using talent to gain the recognition of the higher-ups, and using military strength to ensure the implementation of the system.
All politics is dirty, but it can provide the commoners with a clear spring.
The fight for power is full of darkness, but it can let the commoners feel the sunshine.
When a ruler sacrifices the lives of some commoners to protect the interests of more commoners, it can't be said to be wrong. It can only prove that he is incompetent.
For example, the commoners of the Tang Dynasty had infectious typhoid or smallpox. Did they pursue the economy or sacrifice the economy to save their lives? This is the test of the ruler. "
The palace maids and eunuchs continued to take notes. They cooperated tacitly and each of them said a sentence.
"Typhoid can be cured, but what about smallpox?"
Princess Yongmu was slightly conflicted. Why use the commoners of the Tang Dynasty as an example? But she was worried about smallpox.
"Vaccines, see the virus vaccine. Start the vaccination. I'll spare some time. During the vaccination process, people may die. "
Li Yi was troubled by this matter. People didn't have smallpox in the first place, and now the Tang Dynasty didn't have smallpox either. If they insisted on vaccinating, there would be a small probability of accidents.
The probability was small, but it was not small for the family.
"Ask where else smallpox appeared. We'll publicize it and then help people vaccinate.
When the commoners of the Tang Dynasty understand the reason, even if there is a small probability of problems, they are still willing to accept it. "
People in Zhuangzi, Zhang's village, the royal family, and the ministers who were qualified to talk to him all got a bunch of vaccines.
Including Dudu. He came back and wanted to give Dudu a set.
One-on-one, targeted, the probability of problems was almost negligible.
Dudu's brother was so healthy. The root of the problem was Li Yi.
"Ask the barbarian." Princess Yongmu suddenly wanted to ask the barbarian where smallpox happened. She shook her head quickly. She couldn't curse others like this.
"Dongzhu, the chili was planted. Last year, the village didn't sell any. They only ate it themselves."
The farmer in charge of planting chili ran over and reported in a low voice.
They helped to plant chili. Li Yi sold chili powder and chili oil, which were very expensive.
After the villagers planted chili, they made chili powder. When needed, they made chili oil. They didn't sell it.
Tourists could eat it. The price was almost the same as Li Yi's. Sometimes, they would give a small plate. They were not allowed to take it away.
"This year, the carrots can be eaten by themselves. The seeds are enough. There's no need to put them in a greenhouse." Li Yi nodded and said carrots.
Carrots were sent to the south. This year, they could produce a large number of seeds. The north didn't need greenhouses. It was a problem for carrots to survive the winter.
In the south, they would popularize it in designated places. Others would choose to eat some and keep some. Then they would sell the seeds to the imperial court according to the requirements. The imperial court would sell the seeds to the people.
Hexi Jiedushi, Anxi Jiedushi, and other places were planted last year.
They couldn't keep the seeds. After planting, they had to wait for the imperial court to distribute the seeds this year.
Carrots could be eaten raw. They were sweet. Livestock and poultry liked to eat them.
Poultry, ducks, and geese needed help to be crushed, but carrots were not.
Give a horse a carrot. The horse will think you are a good person. Give a handful of pepper. Friends, do you have raw eggs? If you have, you are family.
In fact, the horse didn't know that pepper was much more expensive than eggs.
"Carrots have another use. They can be used as glue for children. Babies have teeth. Carrots can be used to train their biting strength. After biting off the dregs, they can eat them directly. The key is that carrots are sweet. Babies are willing to bite them.
Li Yi couldn't provide glue for all the children in the Tang dynasty. He could only promote carrots.
"Will the babies bite off their teeth?" Xiao Lan felt that it was dangerous. She wanted to know!
