Li Yi's eyes were filled with data. What to eat, how much to eat, how to eat, and how long to eat for.
He needed to coordinate and see whether eating meat saved food or eating grain filled their stomachs.
"Xiao Yi, what do you think the people are thinking?"
Bi Goo was cutting cucumbers. There were two whole cucumbers for dipping in sauce.
Bi Goo wanted to eat the thin pig ears himself. He refused to give in to his old age and personally cut the cucumbers.
"Old Bi, you don't have to mix the pig ears with other things. Are you cutting the heart of the cucumbers? It's all water. That's not how you cut the cucumbers. "
Li Yi went over to help. Don't waste the cucumbers, even if the cucumbers were worthless now.
"The people are mostly worried about material things. They have enough food, can eat meat, live in a sturdy house, wear comfortable clothes, marry a wife, have more children, and don't get sick."
Li Yi knew that the people of the Tang dynasty had not considered traveling and playing all day.
"In that case, we'll make more money for the court and satisfy the needs of the people." Bi Goo watched Li Yi work and took a sip of wine.
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo in surprise and then looked at the wine cup.
"Uh-huh!" Song Jing coughed. "The key is to promote the development of new production technology and transform it into productivity."
Su Yi followed. "Continue to invest more in education and open up the minds of the people. At least they can understand the official announcements of the court and improve their learning ability."
Zhang Jiuling put down his chopsticks. "Improve the construction of infrastructure, increase the transportation of goods, and allocate social resources."
After the three finished speaking, they looked at Bi Goo together. They wanted him to quickly change the way he said it. He was going to make Li Yi angry again.
Bi Goo smacked his lips. "Yes, yes, yes. We have to use the financial resources reasonably. We have to take from the people and use them for the people."
Li Yi not only cut the cucumbers, but also the pig ears. He smiled. That's right! This is what the Prime Minister of the Tang dynasty should say.
What do you mean by making money for the court? If there's nothing but money, wouldn't that be inflation?
…
"They went to East City to look for Xiao Yi. Why would Xiao Yi go to the south to farm?" Li Dan was having dinner with her sons.
The weather was hot, so Li Dan didn't have much of an appetite. There were more than a dozen dishes on the plate. The main dish was sorghum rice and rice.
Among the four sons sitting here, one was not his biological son, Li Shouli. Li Dan was his uncle, so he was one of the six kings of the Six Kings Manor.
They usually helped Li Chengqi with the affairs of the Six Li Village, the Workers League, the Yi League, and the seaside.
They all moved in, including Empress Wang's father, Wang Renjiao, and her twin brother, Wang Shouyi. The two of them lived in the Imperial Plantation.
Every single one of them was afraid of death. Whenever someone had a headache or fever, they would immediately seek help from the nurse.
Li Shouli received a massage and medication to ease his old injuries.
He could predict the weather. Before it rained, the place where he was beaten would hurt, but when the weather cleared up, it would be comfortable.
Wu Zetian had tortured the Li family, killing and beating them in all kinds of ways.
Li Longji did not mind the heat. He ate his rice and hot dishes. "They should have sent someone to plant them. The pepper planted in Qiong Province will bear fruit next year."
He did not forget about the pepper planting. In Qiong Province and Lei Province, the pepper grew well in Qiong Province. The weather was hot, but Lei Province was cold in winter.
Li Longji's brother, Prince Shen, Li Chengyi, had a good appetite as well. He had eaten several pieces of red braised meat.
He gulped down a big mouthful of soup. "The barbarian merchants are now selling pepper, and they're making a lot of money. Lu Zhou is also shipping pepper to Chang 'an. That's why Chang' an has a supply of pepper.
When the pepper from Qiong Province arrives, we can lower the price of the barbarian merchants so that they won't easily take away the good stuff from the Tang dynasty. The duck rack soup is fresh. "
He had been doing well recently. His wife was pregnant, and he had a problem.
He had taken medicine for his sexually transmitted diseases.
He did not have any children, so he adopted Li Chengqi's son.
When Li Yi went out to sea, he went to the Li Family Zhuangzi. After a check-up, there was medicine. He took it and it was effective.
With this, he could not leave. He had to wait for the child to be born and grow up.
Otherwise, what if something went wrong and the child was gone?
"Where's the duck rack and the meat on it?" Prince Xue, Li Ye, knew he was drinking duck rack soup. He could not see the duck rack or the meat.
"It's here. There's stir-fried duck meat and duck blood."
Li Dan pointed at her plate with her chopsticks and told her son where the duck meat was.
Li Longji pointed at the bridgehead. "Set it up outside. We'll stew it in the Zhuangzi. Take it out and toss it into the free soup section to stew it. Make the bones soft so that others can chew it when they drink it."
Many bones in the Zhuangzi were treated this way. The Zhuangzi guaranteed there would be soup for them. They would be stewed first before they were given to others.
Otherwise, the bones could only be thrown away or used as fodder.
There was still meat on the duck rack in the shed. There was no bone marrow from the pig bones. They were cut open and fed to the children and the elderly.
Even so, the free soup section in the Li Family Zhuangzi was the best place to supply the bones.
Everyone looked over and saw the sheds. They also saw the yacht moored there.
"After Xiao Yi came back, she said to adjust the crude oil distillation technology. She wants to use it on the yacht. Just a little change is enough. Too much desulfurization will damage the yacht equipment. If it's broken, it can't be repaired."
Li Dan wanted to take the yacht out to play. He didn't want to go far. It was better than other boats.
He also knew that Li Yi used his lifespan to exchange for fuel. He waited for the Zhuangzi to improve the distillation technology. He took Li Yi's words to heart.
He remembered that Li Yi said that the lubricant was also removed during the desulfurization process.
"Third Brother, why don't we take a look at the yacht?" Prince of Qi, Li Yi, had been thinking for the past two days. He couldn't directly say anything about Li Yi's things.
Coincidentally, the yacht was guarded by the Yulin Flying Cavalry.
"Let's go." Li Longji didn't hesitate. The six officials who came down said that the yacht was good.
The group set off. The food was brought by the eunuchs and palace maids.
The eight eunuchs and palace maids who followed Li Yi out were responsible for explaining the situation on the yacht.
When they came back, they handed in the books and explained the situation separately.
The yacht stopped beside Zhuangzi and went up with the gangplank.
There were always people watching from the other side, including the envoys from Tibet.
The rich people of the Imperial Governor's Office would take the initiative to take a look and chat with the ordinary people. They didn't put on airs.
They had a sense of pride. The big ship of the Tang dynasty was called the Cruiser. It was very powerful. Li Dongzhu drove it.
The envoys had their own thoughts. The people of the Japanese Empire were more honest. They were wondering if the ship was safe to return to Japan.
Previously, they sent the cement production technology back and brought a lot of silver from their country.
This year, they were going to let Dao Ci, who wanted to go back, bring new information. Dao Ci was a person's name. The people called him Eda. His master was Zhi Zang.
This Dao Ci was not the Dao Ci of Li Yi's era. There was a big difference between the two.
Bo Qiao and the other Tubo people looked at the yacht. They were worried that Li Yi would drive the yacht to the source of the Yellow River and then to the source of the Yangtze River. God knows what bad things Li Yi would do.
Li Longji and the others were not in a hurry to visit the yacht. Eating was more important. It would be cold soon.
Just as they sat on the deck, a group of fast horses came from the front.
"Report! West River Jiedushi has an urgent report … "The person on the horse shouted. The others made way.
