The four chancellors wrote memorials to Li Longji at the same time. Each of them spoke from their own point of view, telling Li Longji not to give Su Lu any money, but to send weapons and other supplies to Hexi Jiedushi.
Li Yi made the decision, and they helped him write the official document.
"Xiao Yi, you write it next time!" Bi Goo finished writing and looked at his dishes. He was in a good mood. They were all cold dishes, and he was not afraid of them getting cold.
"It's not suitable for me to write it." Li Yi refused. He could not write it. If he wrote it, he would snatch other people's real power.
"General of Heavenly Strategies is an empty position?" Li Chengqi could not help but ask.
It was not an empty position! His great-grandfather, Emperor Taizong, was an official.
"I used it when I went out to sea. I can't continue it when I come back. I'll talk about it when I go out to sea next time."
Li Yi looked at Li Chengqi with a look that said, "Do you really think I want to be General of Heavenly Strategies?"
"Wen Tian, remember to write a resignation document for His Majesty. I want to resign from the Tang dynasty's Overseas Pacification Envoy and General of Heavenly Strategies. I don't want it."
Li Yi remembered his plan when he came back. I don't want it. I must throw it away.
Otherwise, he would be used by people who would say that he was another Li Shimin who wanted to be the Tang Emperors.
If he instigated the people and some of them supported him, things would be troublesome!
"Okay!" Princess Yongmu agreed with a smile.
"Xiao Yi, don't you know how to write it? You used to write a lot in the past. "Bi Goo saw this and ridiculed.
"I didn't write it. I copied it from others." Li Yi did not care at all. I can copy it. What can you do about it?
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Jiuling and felt embarrassed. He copied Zhang Jiuling's poem, "The bright moon shines above the sea.
Li Yi immediately felt relieved. It did not matter. If Zhang Jiuling was willing to write it, he could write a good poem.
If he did not copy it and wrote it himself, how tiring would it be?
It was not that he could not write, but wouldn't it be better to use the time to improve the overall level of the Tang dynasty?
"Remember, don't copy this old man's." Bi Gou warned.
"Hahaha," "Hahaha," the surrounding people immediately burst into laughter.
There was a saying among the literati: Don't let Li Yi copy your work. If he does, you will be gone.
"Elder brother, I brought back a lot of cactus seeds, more than ten kinds. They can grow very big in hot climates.
In our capital government, the first generation of plants can grow in large greenhouses. But for the later generations, it won't be easy for them to grow any bigger.
It could be used as medicine and could still be eaten. It would take many years for it to blossom and produce seeds.
Once it blossoms, it can bloom every year. It's beautiful, but its flowering period is short, usually lasting less than a day. "
Li Yi listened to everyone's laughter and looked at their age. He lamented how quickly time passed.
At the same time, he thought of the seeds he had brought back from various cacti.
"How is it compared to the pepper knot? Sago tree? "Li Chengqi thought of the sago tree when he heard that it would take many years to bloom.
"There are years of pepper and years of iron trees. However, there was no need to use seeds to reproduce, just like willow trees, bamboos, and bamboo shoots.
When it grew longer, it would branch out. When it was plucked off and placed in the soil, it would grow into a new stalk.
It has sufficient nutrients and its growth speed is not slow. It can be eaten and used as medicine after a year. "
Li Yi did not expect the cacti to bloom. The flowers were indeed beautiful, but it was a pity that the time was too short.
That was how the name Epiphyllum came about. It prioritized survival in the desert and would not give the cacti too much time to bloom.
Li Yi actually wanted to say that cacti also had fruits. But after thinking about it, he decided against it.
In the Tang dynasty, cacti were grown for eating fruits. At that time, they should be able to get the fruits from other places.
It was the same for the rubber trees. They should be planted first and then harvested from other places.
Including the oil palm seeds that he needed to get in the future, it would still take many years to plant them. Unless they dug up ready-made seeds and transplanted them directly.
If they were properly cultivated, it would take five years for oil to bloom. This oil would be easy to use.
According to the unit area, the oil yield of the oil palm was ten times that of the specially cultivated soybeans, not to mention the current soybeans.
Of course, soybeans could still be used to make tofu, but oil palm fruits could not be used to make tofu.
Also, soybeans contained a lot of protein. They were not the same thing and could not be compared.
Li Chengqi took it seriously. "Should we find a place to plant it?"
"In the beginning, a part of it will be taken to Qiongzhou and we will plant the rest. Plant it for two years and give it to the people in the capital. Every family can have it."
Li Yi was very clear about cacti. It was not easy to grow, and it was even more difficult to bloom and bear fruit. However, it had a strong reproductive ability.
At that time, cacti and cacti were not worth much. He could get them easily by making a flower pot. There was no need to buy them.
In some neighborhoods, they placed them in flower beds. He could go there and break off a branch and take it home to raise them. It would be immoral to not break the main stem.
Li Chengqi had never seen such a thing. He sighed. "There are really good things overseas. The world is so big."
"When the Tang dynasty stabilizes, if brother wants to go out to play, no, to collect information about the world's products and local customs, I am willing to sail a small boat and accompany you."
Li Yi also sighed. It was not easy to be a member of the royal family in the Tang dynasty. He could not travel overseas for the rest of his life.
"What about me? My family and I want to go. "Bi Goo yearned for it.
"Hurry up and build the Tang dynasty. It's good to go out for a month or two and bask in the sun on the beach.
You don't know, but there are many interesting things outside. The sea breeze, the evening glow of the coconut forest, the golden sand print, the overlapping waves … "
Li Yi began to tempt them. Do you want to go somewhere else to play? Hurry up. When the people are better off, I will take you there.
"Send them away." Song Jing put down his brush and stamped. Hearing Li Yi's words, he felt angry.
We are working so hard in the imperial court. How can we have time when you want to go out to play?
Yao Chong and the others in the group were tempted. Yao Chong picked up a pig ear in front of Bi Goo and ate it. "Xiao Yi, we want to see how corruption is dealt with overseas. Can you arrange it in the summer?"
Bi Goo turned his head and stared at Yao Chong. You want to go on a trip? You can go out and play as you wish after retiring?
"That's fine. After the summer harvest, everyone will go together. In a month, Zhuangzi will have oil that can be used on the yacht. That's simple."
Li Yi looked at Princess Yongmu. Do you want to go out and play? You have nothing to do anyway.
Princess Yongmu was indeed looking forward to it. "Where is Li Lang going?"
"I will grow seedlings first and then find someone to plant them in Qiongzhou. I won't arrange for people to go by land. I don't feel at ease with them handling the seeds."
Li Yi wanted to go to Hainan to plant things first. Then he would go along the coast to East Asia, such as Luzon.
He would plant the things under the canopy and then grow seedlings in the greenhouse. There would be no delay.
He would send people to send things over by land. Growing seedlings there was not as scientific as growing seedlings here.
The delay on the road would be even longer. Why didn't he think of this before?
The main thing was to look at the sea and then enjoy on the beach. He would bring Li Longji and the others. The journey was short and there were many people. There was no need to prepare a lot of supplies.
"Okay, okay!" Princess Yongmu also wanted to go out with her family, including the little fellow, Bao Er, and Dudu.
He should practice swimming and diving more so that he could go to the sea. He couldn't do it last time.
