"Third Brother, Sister-in-law." In Zhuangzi, Li Yi arranged for people to set up a small shed around the ice rink, set up chairs, and put in a charcoal stove. When he saw the carriage arrive, he waved his hand to greet them.
"I heard that Brother Yi's ice rink will be open tomorrow?" Li Longji smiled and didn't say anything.
Empress Wang liked to play. If Li Longji went up, Empress Wang would be anxious. She couldn't go.
"The tourism industry is just trying. If it works, the whole area around Ba River will be very lively in summer."
Li Yi pointed to the area near Ba River in Zhuangzi and said. A lot of flowers were transplanted this autumn, and they would bloom in spring and summer.
Now, they were all plump and wrapped with hemp rope to keep them warm.
The grapevines in the vineyards were all buried in case they froze to death.
Li Longji looked. He knew about tourism. There were many buildings in Chang 'an. When there were a lot of visitors, people would go there to play. Then, people would make money.
It was the first time that Zhuangzi outside the city started such an activity.
He wanted to see if he could make money. He didn't want to use soy sauce, fermented bean curd, or stinky tofu to make money.
"Uncle, can I learn from other places?" Empress Wang stared at the ice rink. She wondered if she could use an ice cart instead of ice skates.
"Every place has its own characteristics. For example, places with a lot of stones can be made into fake mountains." Li Yi explained.
Tourism was to promote the development of the tertiary industry and increase the income of the residents. A leader who didn't know how to do tourism was not a good leader.
Of course, in the Tang dynasty, it was impossible to rely on natural scenery to attract people.
In the Tang dynasty, natural scenery was everywhere. It was as natural as it could be.
Taohong and Cui Liu supported Empress Wang on her left and right. He Yan stood behind Empress Wang.
They stood and watched Li Yi give instructions.
A small flag was placed on the ice. Below it was a wooden pedestal.
"Why is this?" Li Longji looked at the flag and asked.
"The surface is smooth. If the child slips on the ice cart while kneeling, it will accelerate faster and faster. If the child can't make a turn, it will be dangerous."
Li Yi introduced. Sitting down, one would not be able to increase their speed, but kneeling would allow them to exert their strength.
Zhuangzi's dolls were sliding on the ice, kneeling on the ice cart.
Encountering small flags, they would turn back and forth, giggling and choking on the cold wind.
Li Yi didn't care. He let the children drink hot soup during lunch.
After a while, Li Yi brought the two of them back to the cafeteria.
According to the diet he gave her, she would eat a little in the morning. She should be hungry now, so she would eat a little more. She would eat a little more in the afternoon.
In a day, he could eat six to seven meals. The meal in the middle of the night depended on whether he would wake up.
When she woke up, she ate a few dried fruits, drank a cup of hot fruit juice, and had a small snack.
"Brother Yi, you came up with the idea. No one in Chang 'an died of cold or hunger this winter. You deserve the most credit."
Li Longji looked at Empress Wang eating toothpick meat and said casually to Li Yi.
"Third Brother, don't say that. The one who can really carry out the plan is Chang 'an County Magistrate Pei Yaoqing. No matter how good the idea is, if it can't be carried out, it's better not to do it."
Li Yi didn't dare to take the credit. The failed reforms in history were all because the people below didn't carry out the plan well.
"Yes, Pei Yaoqing is a good person. The toothpick meat is beef!" Empress Wang tasted it.
"In a village ten miles away, a cow was bitten by a snake. The snake hibernated in the corner of the cow pen. The owner pushed the cow dung to the corner, together with the grass.
As a result, the temperature rose and the hibernating snake woke up. The cow went crazy and the villagers tried to stop it. In the end, the cow panicked and ran into a big tree. "
Li Yi introduced the cow's origin. The village was reluctant to eat a dead cow.
Naturally, they thought of the Li Family Zhuangzi and sent it to be sold.
"Is it poisonous?" Empress Wang didn't dare to eat it.
"No, I paid for the whole cow." Li Yi shook his head.
"Uncle, you are easy to talk to. Be careful not to be bullied." Empress Wang felt that she had given too much.
"I also gave medicine. The man had gastric problems, and I did a gastroscopy to check for gastric ulcers. If I gave less money and didn't treat him, he would get heaty in the winter. He might not be able to survive. "
Li Yi told the truth. He used money and medicine to save one life each.
"Brother Yi, you are kind, unlike that Minister of Revenue. I heard that he wanted to take the Chang 'an yamen's money. His name is … …" Li Longji pretended that he couldn't remember the name.
"Zhong Shaojing. His regular script is good. My regular script can't be compared to his. It's just that Thin Gold Body is bullying people who are not familiar with it."
Li Yi followed up. He had to admit that the regular script written by that person gave people the feeling that it was alive.
For example, when he wrote the word 'walk', it felt like a person was walking. This was the charm of hieroglyphics.
"Is that person good, Uncle?" Empress Wang helped to ask.
The moment to decide Zhong Shaojing's life and death had arrived.
Zhong Shaojing, who stayed in the palace and sulked in the Ministry of Revenue, would never imagine that his fate was in the hands of a young Dongzhu.
"Sister-in-law, there is no good or bad person. Their motives are different." Li Yi said with a smile.
He continued, "As for Zhong Shaojing, his greatest contribution was helping the current Emperor kill Empress Wei.
At first, he became famous for his regular script and was promoted. Later, he didn't come into contact with the imperial court.
He only held a position without any real power in the palace. Although he was called a supervisor, in reality, the work was done by others.
After he made a great contribution, he was promoted to a high position. Later, he was demoted.
When the current Emperor ascended the throne, he was summoned back to show others.
Putting a person who doesn't have the ability in a position that requires ability is harming people. "
Li Yi said casually. He didn't attack Zhong Shaojing because of his nepotism and unscrupulous actions.
He only said that Zhong Shaojing's ability was not enough to support his position.
"Should he be demoted again?" Li Longji listened to Li Yi's objective evaluation and didn't know what to do.
"His handwriting is so good. Can he be a good official if he's demoted? Leaving him to write in Chang 'an, Chong Wen Guan is good.
I want to publish newspapers here. It's always been engraved printing. It's too tiring. I plan to use characters to print. The characters need to be good looking. "
Li Yi thought that other people's handwriting was better than his. Thin gold characters were arrogant, but not suitable for printing.
If there was someone with good handwriting, why should he get him out? He should stay.
Li Longji understood and said with a smile, "Brother Yi wants this person?"
"I want his handwriting. Third brother, think of a way. Regular script is orthodox. If it were me … … I have the ability to control him. I'll set up a calligraphy association.
I'll let him be the president and teach others how to write. I'll make the best use of his talent. Throwing him in the position of Minister of Revenue will harm him and others. "
Li Yi respected regular script the most. It was the easiest to write, the hardest to write, the most rigid, and the most flexible.
It was the foundation of all words, and also the head of all words.
"Uncle, what is a calligraphy association?" Empress Wang ate another toothpick.
"It's a semi-official organization in charge of calligraphy. It can also be the president of a chess association, a singing and dancing association, a horse riding association, and an archery association."
Li Yi gave an example. The association was quite interesting. There were times when there was corruption, but there were many things that could be done.
Li Longji listened attentively while the two eunuchs beside him wrote.
There was no one to follow them. Pine trees and brown rocks had to be written down and added to the daily notes.
They could also write down useful words for Her Majesty to read.
"Good, Brother Yi said it well. I'll think of a way to pass it in."
Li Longji felt that it was fine. The key was to solve Zhong Shaojing's problem.
Yao Chong always wanted to deal with Zhong Shaojing. He already wanted to do it.
But he felt that Yao Chong's power was too heavy. There was someone to keep him in check, so he didn't make the decision.
Now that something happened, the officials were watching.
Demote, why did you summon him back? If you don't demote him, are you going to let incompetent people cause trouble?
Brother Yi gave an idea. Move away from the position of Minister of Revenue and write.
