Taohong winked at the others. She quietly left and went to find Princess Yongmu.
After telling her what happened, Princess Yongmu took her to see Li Dan.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Dongzhu said that he wants to build the bridge during the dry season of the Yellow River. He wants to use the local people of Henan, Winged Knights, recruits, southwest barbarians, and the nine families of Tiele.
The logistical supplies will be mainly from the Tang dynasty's fleet that returned to Haizhou to fish and railway transportation.
County Deputy Meng, County Deputy Wang, and Inspector Zhangsun have no official Weibo. It's difficult for pigeons to fly in the rain. "
Taohong reported. It was a big deal.
"Find Guo Ziyi and send the Winged Knights to send a letter to me." Li Dan was not afraid that the pigeons could not fly, as long as the men and horses could run.
Noble Consort Lu hurriedly found the four treasures of the study, a special envelope, and a seal.
The paper of the four treasures of the study was replaced with yellow silk with dark embroidery patterns that were unique to the emperor.
Li Dan could not command the Winged Knights, so he could only discuss it with Guo Ziyi.
If Guo Ziyi refused, he would send his own guards.
After the letter was written, Noble Consort Lu helped to seal it and cover it with oil paper and oilcloth.
Guo Ziyi naturally would not embarrass the emperor in this matter. It was not like he was mobilizing troops for war.
If he asked the emperor to send guards, it would show that the emperor was not on good terms with His Majesty. It would be a serious political problem.
A team of twenty Winged Knights wearing raincoats rushed to the Li Family Zhuangzi in the rain.
Taohong came back and stood beside Li Yi. "Dongzhu, I just told the Li Family's Little Miss about you building the bridge. I was taken to Elder Mu's place, and then the Winged Knights went out with twenty people."
"Has Wen Tian eaten?" Li Yi did not care about this matter. Taohong handled it well. She went to Princess Yongmu first.
If she went to Li Dan directly, she would die there. She was trying to put the emperor in a disadvantageous position.
"I don't want to eat. The spicy fried snails were just served. I want to drink grape wine, Zhuangzi's dry red wine. It's said to be warm and has a special taste." Taohong felt relieved and answered in a low voice.
"It's not easy to get some dried red wine, and they're already thinking about it. What's so special about the taste? It was as astringent as rice wine.
Don't give me a fruit platter. I don't want edamame or broad beans either. Hmm … grilled fish fillet with hazelnuts and pine nuts. "
Li Yi grumbled, but he was afraid that the guest would have a stomachache or allergic reaction, so he arranged for other food.
Taohong jogged away again and hurriedly told him.
Han Xiangke looked at her son, who was drinking fruit juice.
"Yi Fu is fine. He doesn't have an allergic constitution, and his digestive system is good. He has been taking care of him." Li Yi saw it and immediately said.
He had specially examined Meng Yifu's body. There was no problem in drawing blood, urine, or taking out drugs.
Just like the children of the Li Family Zhuangzi, Zhang Family Village, and Xiao Lan Village, they were regularly checked and recorded.
Including Meng Haoran and the others, there were many types of Panda blood. They were all collected, stored, and stored as components.
Component blood could be stored longer than whole blood, and it was slightly more troublesome to transfuse.
"Thank you uncle!" Meng Yifu bowed sensibly.
"Sister-in-law is good at teaching her son." Li Yi nodded at Meng Yifu and said to Meng Haoran.
He always felt that Meng Haoran owed his wife and son too much in history.
"Without a title, I will not return home." Meng Haoran clenched his fists.
"Write more poems. When we return, I will make you a fifth rank official. Don't expect to have any real power." Li Yi promised.
The officials of the Li Family Zhuangzi had to be promoted step by step. Want to jump? Dream on!
Giving Wang Wei and Meng Haoran the position of Deputy County Magistrate in Jingji was already considered skipping a grade.
Normally, they would go outside to be Deputy County Magistrate, Official Registrar, or County Lieutenant. Unless they had good results in the Imperial Examinations, they would start from seventh rank.
In history, after the Imperial Examinations, Li Yi had the impression that Guo Ziyi, a sixth rank official, was directly promoted to a seventh rank official with real power.
He would not give any real power, and would only make some scattered officials, including Wang Wei. The two of them did indeed perform well.
In the future, he would set an example for those people with good literary talent. For example, Li Bai came early and was arranged to be a Deputy County Magistrate in the county. If he was not a scattered official, he would be an eighth rank official.
Li Yi admired the promotion system of his own country the most. He had gone through countless trials and tribulations to be able to stand in that position.
"I will strive hard." Meng Haoran promised and cheered for himself.
Wang Wei was also full of confidence. He not only knew how to write poems, but he also knew how to draw.
Only Zhangsun Xin's expression was calm. He did not care. He had real power, above fifth rank, but he did not do any work.
His wife did not need him to give her a title. Her position was high.
What was the point of having a high position? It looked like endless glory, but in reality, it was fleeting.
The letter asked the Political Affairs Hall to send an official who was not a Prime Minister to Lantian County. Let's see if his words are believed by the people, or if my words are accepted by the people.
Let's send an assistant minister. He wrote that he wanted to raise more pigs this year. I told the people to raise chickens. Let's see who the people listen to. It would not work even if you were tired to death.
What was the use of having a high position? The people's feelings were the most important.
If you did not believe it, look at Li Yi in front of you. He did not say to raise pigs and chickens. He asked the people to raise insects in the bean fields. The people raised everything. Was there anything crazier than this?
Zhangsun Xin thought and suddenly could not help but laugh. He quickly picked up a snail and stuffed it into his mouth.
… …
The people at the dock did not know what happened on the yacht. They ate roast chicken, drank bone soup, and took out their own staple food.
Some brought steamed buns, some baked sesame seed cakes, and some even brought rice grains that had been steamed and dried in the sun.
In the case of free soup, rice grains were the best food. It was better than black bread and had a higher density.
For the same volume, the bag of rice could hold one and a half times the weight of flour, including the gaps in the rice.
Using deep frying to fry the big rice grains and then drying them in the sun was the best way to replenish one's strength.
No matter how dry the bread was, it could not compare to rice, including fried flour.
It was just that other things were more expensive and black bread was cheaper.
With the relay station replenishing food, it was better to buy black bread there. If one really did not have money, the relay station would give a few pieces of bread for free.
"Can I take it home? I will pay."
There was a person who did not want to eat. He took out a chicken leg and wanted to buy it. He was prepared to bring it home for his parents, wife, and children.
It was not that his family could not afford chicken. Wasn't this given to him by Li Yi? Eating it would increase one's luck and give one a status.
"Hurry up and eat it. It will spoil if left out for too long. If you give it to your family, they will have diarrhea." The person guarding the hut understood, but did not agree.
"I am eating it for them. It will be on them." The person holding the chicken leg was helpless and could only eat it himself.
"The bones are delicious, they are crispy." Another person said.
"Impossible. Don't bite your teeth. Do you think this is stewed chicken? If it stews for too long, the bones will become crispy? "The person beside him snatched the bone.
"Wash it and throw it into the pot. Anyway, it will be used to cook soup."
"Blanch it with boiling water. Otherwise, how will others eat it? It has to be sterilized! The newspaper said so. "
"The heavens are not giving face. Li Dongzhu rarely comes, why is it raining!"
"They are asking for a beating. Li Dongzhu is in a good mood. Otherwise, even the King of Hell would be beaten to his knees."
"They are afraid of a lack of water. After beating the heavens, the heavens will recover for half a year. What if there is no rain?"
The people started to make connections and expressed their opinions.
