"Maybe someone put it in by accident." Li Yi didn't feel the need to help others solve the case.
Li Longji didn't need to think at all to know that someone must have done something bad.
Let's wait and see who committed suicide or was killed by someone.
"Brother Yi, the poem you just copied is not bad." Li Longji didn't want the happy atmosphere to be affected.
Horses can be found again. As long as Li Yi is here, it will be much safer.
"It's not bad." Yao Chong said.
Li Yi secretly curled his lips. The person who wrote this poem had written a lot of frontier poems. But during the most critical time of the An Lushan Rebellion, he resigned and ran away.
At that time, he was a military officer, such as the Minister of Organization, the Director of Education, and the Director of Cultural Affairs.
He felt that something was corrupt, so he threw away the official position that could pacify the people.
During the An Lushan Rebellion, Zhang Xun was a civil official who had passed the imperial examination.
In Sui Yang, he led more than 7,000 soldiers to face nearly 200,000 rebels and fought a battle that was passed down through the ages … The Battle of Sui Yang.
In the end, he was captured and killed, but he bought enough time for the Tang dynasty to mobilize troops.
I won't copy your poem next time. It makes me angry when I think about it.
Li Yi secretly criticized Du Fu, who was only three years old this year.
If you want to copy, copy from Li Bai. Li Bai is 14 years old this year, right?
Li Yi thought and suddenly laughed.
"Brother Yi, why are you laughing?" Li Chengqi was reciting the poem just now. Hearing the laughter, he asked.
Li Yi naturally couldn't tell him about Du Fu and Li Bai. One of them was still young, and the other was looking for ways to become famous at home.
So he said, "I thought of a way that will benefit the people."
"Benefit the people again?" Li Longji was interested.
"Soya bean curls." Li Yi said.
"What is it?" Yao Chong asked.
"Medicine," Li Yi answered, "but it's also a dish. There's some in the cafeteria, but I forgot to pass it out."
Li Yi said as he got up to pick up some bean sprouts and stir-fried shredded tofu. When he came back, he said, "Bean sprouts, it just so happens that there's coal burning in Chang 'an now. It's warm in the house. Let's make bean sprouts together."
"Cooking?" Empress Wang had eaten bean sprouts before, but she didn't know how they were grown.
"Many soybeans are used for oil extraction. Using mung beans and adzuki beans, a very small bean can grow such a long bean sprout. Isn't it very cost-effective?"
Li Yi explained it in the most simple way. Look, the sprouts of a hundred or so beans could fill a plate.
"Yes." Li Chengqi often came here to eat, so he knew it was bean sprouts. The texture was not bad.
"If you can't eat vegetables in winter, it's easy to get sick. Bean sprouts can be used to supplement some of the body's needs." Li Yi said.
"Is it really good to use?" Yao Chong only knew how to eat. He had never grown bean sprouts in his family before. Moreover, he used black soybeans as medicine.
"Every family can make it. If you eat it to supplement your vitamins … you won't get a bad mouth easily." Li Yi wiped his sweat and said.
He suddenly thought of the matter of bean sprouts.
Beans were eaten as staple food, while mung beans could be made into starch jelly.
"Uncle, write down the prescription and see if it's difficult." Empress Wang decided.
Li Yi laughed. The matter of Li Bai was over.
That night, Yao Chong was arranged to stay in the inpatient building.
In the middle of the night, someone came in from outside to look for Li Longji. He handed a piece of paper to Li Longji and left.
Li Longji lit up the methane lamp in the house with a lighter and looked at it. He shook his head and said, "He ran away. Humph! It's impolite not to reciprocate. I have to speed up my smuggling. "
On the paper, it was recorded that the Tubo spies had planted Drunken Horse Grass. The Tubo people were good at raising horses, and the Turks were good at raising horses.
Therefore, there were many rich people in Chang 'an. If they wanted to raise horses, they would look for the Tubo and Turks who had lived in Chang' an for a long time.
If the horses were taken care of in the stable, there would naturally be Tubo people who "trusted" them.
The news of the 3,000 Winged Knights had spread. It was said that they were very powerful.
Therefore …
"Your Majesty, are you going to search the whole city for the Tubo people?" Empress Wang woke up and went forward to read the content.
"No." Li Longji thought for a while and shook his head.
Some Tubo and Turks in Chang 'an already thought of themselves as people of the Tang dynasty.
If it was because of a few spies and a whole city search, it would naturally disturb people's hearts.
Empress Wang pointed to the following content and said, "Yu Huaide wants to cooperate with other businessmen who come to Tubo to exchange soap and toilet water from uncle?"
"Yes, if it works, the profit will be huge. Business tax, business tax." Li Longji knew the profits of smuggling. Using tea leaves was already good enough.
If it was soap and toilet water, the Tubo people would definitely rush to get it.
"Should we stop it?" Empress Wang was also distressed about the money. Her family had to use the government to smuggle, and so did the people. They were competing for profits.
"I'll ask Brother Yi tomorrow morning." Li Longji was hesitant and naturally threw the question to Li Yi.
If he couldn't solve the internal affairs, he would ask Li Yi. If he wanted to solve the external affairs, he would also ask Li Yi. Since it didn't cost him money, it would be a waste not to ask.
So the next morning, when Empress Wang was drinking milk, eating cake and fried eggs with sugar, Li Longji asked Li Yi who was eating shumai and mutton soup, "Brother Yi and Yu Huaide are doing business at the Tubo border?"
"Yes, the imperial court hasn't made any moves. Since Shopkeeper Yu is familiar with the area, I'll split the money with them." Li Yi didn't hide anything.
What's there to be afraid of smuggling? I've already told my eldest brother and third brother.
"But there's a lot of money that the imperial court can't get their hands on. The business tax is very troublesome. The profits involved are too big."
Li Longji expressed his intention. Smuggling was wrong, and it made so much money. How could His Majesty be comfortable?
"Third brother, you're talking about this? That's easy. If His Majesty wants money, he can send the Winged Knights to protect him. A team of 100 to 200 people.
They will take turns to go out. If there are bandits on the road, they will deal with them. The caravan will pay half of the profits as protection fee.
When the time comes, I will split the remaining half with the caravan. I don't think it's too little. I believe the merchants will happily agree. "
Li Yi casually came up with a solution. During the Age of Discovery, the European countries all had privateering permits.
After paying a portion of the money, they were allowed to go out and rob other countries' ships.
The navies of the countries also followed suit. The Spanish Invincible Fleet was destroyed by a large group of British pirates.
"I heard that along the way, they will give some money to other people. If His Majesty gives the order, we can save more money."
Li Longji knew how greedy the officials below him were. He wanted to cut off the officials' income.
Li Yi waved his hand: "No, the journey is long. They don't dare to go against the imperial court openly. If they do something in the dark, it will spoil our plans."
Li Yi knew how to bribe people the best. How could he not give them money? Just because he knew the people above him, he dared not to give money to the people below him. Just wait, there will be endless trouble.
"But it's possible. The officials will order the local governments to not embezzle the money of the merchants. Then the caravan will return what they have.
If His Majesty wants to punish people one day, he will naturally have an excuse. A lot of money can be confiscated.
At the same time, with the order, the officials will benefit and will definitely take care of the caravan. "
Li Yi continued. He was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.
Yao Chong, who came to eat with them, stopped biting on the bun. When he looked at Li Yi, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
This young man, when he talked about the plan to cut off the family, did he not have the slightest bit of fear?
