'Man's nature is good at birth. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different. "
"Dou Yanshan was righteous. His five sons were famous. Delete these. Things from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are not suitable for the present. "
"Under the equator, it's warm. I'm from Northeast China. Delete these too. "
"Twenty generations, three hundred years. When the Liang Dynasty was destroyed, the country changed. Isn't it a joke to say that the Tang Dynasty ruled for three hundred years? Do you think I'm Jiang Ziya? Also, I've deleted all the information about the dynasties. '
Li Yi compared the content given by the system and deleted what needed to be deleted.
It didn't matter if there were fewer words. The main thing was to tell stories and reason.
He couldn't write the hundred surnames. The first character of the hundred surnames was Zhao.
Now, it was Li Under the Heavens.
However, there was no problem with the disciple rules. It didn't involve historical matters.
Li Yi wrote as he read. He didn't spend a single cent. There was a loophole in the system.
He didn't know if it was a deliberate loophole or a real loophole.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll write 'Enriching Virtue' later. The content inside is actually very interesting compared to the others."
Li Yi put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, and muttered to himself.
"'Enriching Virtue' says that people leave their names when they pass, and wild geese leave their voices when they pass. But 'Vegetable Root Tan' also says, 'Wild geese cross the cold pond, and the pond leaves no shadow when they pass. The wind blows away the bamboo, and the wind blows away the bamboo leaves no sound. Therefore, a gentleman's heart appears when things come, and his heart is empty when things pass. "
"In fact, both are chicken soup for the soul. The former is to motivate people, and the latter is to comfort people."
"The former says that people have to struggle. The latter says that when you encounter unhappy things, don't take it to heart. "
"The former is a politician, tenacious. The latter is a scholar, compromise. "
"The former is a kite, soaring into the sky in adversity. The latter is duckweed, drifting with the tide. "
Li Yi analyzed and then said, "And I … choose the former and disdain the latter. I don't want to be moderate, because … I want to live. I can't give in, and I can't retreat. "
As he spoke, Li Yi waved his fist, "Fight! Ten thousand years don't belong to me. I only seize the day and night. The stronger I meet, the stronger I become stronger! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi threw down the brush and walked out.
He said to Manager Song De, who had just sold two hundred catties of soy sauce and was so excited that his face was pale, "Tell them that after tomorrow, the price of soy sauce will be reduced by ninety percent."
What Li Yi meant was that if they brought over chickens and ducks to bid for soy sauce, the soy sauce would be 10% off.
A flock of ducks that were worth nine thousand yuan was treated as ten thousand yuan when buying soy sauce.
It was the same for chickens.
Song De didn't understand what Dongzhu wanted to do, but he knew what he should do.
Therefore, he ran to those people and told them to bring live chickens and ducks over. Nine copper coins for ten copper coins.
A 10% profit gap. When the others heard this, they were immediately tempted.
"Dongzhu, there will probably be a lot of chickens and ducks coming tomorrow." Song De found Li Yi and replied.
"Alright!" Li Yi nodded.
Song De turned around and went to find people to work. He didn't even ask why Li Yi was doing this.
He had already formed a habit. Whatever Dongzhu said, it was guaranteed that it wouldn't be wrong.
According to Li Yi's words, if you can understand, then do it. If you can't understand, then do it in the process of doing it.
Li Yi walked back to the house with his hands behind his back. He didn't care about the chickens and ducks.
There were managers, craftsmen, retired soldiers, and tenants. They would take care of these.
Song De shouted while looking for people to carry the copper coins and silk, "In order to let us eat enough eggs, Dongzhu gave up ten percent of the profits in exchange for chickens and ducks. If you want to slack off, then touch your conscience."
Li Yi, who had already walked far away, heard the manager's words. He immediately stopped and muttered, "I don't think so."
Those who bought soy sauce left in high spirits. Those who didn't left with their heads down. They were going to bring more money or poultry tomorrow.
Noon arrived. The mutton soup in the big pot was boiling.
The scallion pancakes were packed in big bamboo baskets. They were like small hills.
Forty-two students came to scoop the soup first. The person who scooped the soup scooped as much mutton as possible into their bowls.
The others didn't have any objections. The children counted on the students to teach them.
Li Yi didn't say anything. He had to let the children know that educated people had priority. Only then would the children study hard.
Not to mention anything else, at least they would be proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In the future, they would help to calculate the accounts.
After the students finished scooping the soup, it was the turn of the people in Zhuangzi.
Li Yi still supported it. This was status. A certain status must be given to the old people.
Unless the newcomers showed enough ability, they couldn't be above the old people.
If the newcomers were treated well and the old people were treated badly, then the newcomers wouldn't be loyal.
Because the new comer would wonder whether he would be as neglected as the old comer had been, waiting for the new comer.
Then it was the craftsmen and the selected leaders.
The pyramid system appeared. If they wanted to stand out, they had to work hard.
Finally, it was the children's turn. The mutton giblets that had been taken out before were chopped up and placed in a child's bowl.
Li Yi personally brought a bowl of soup to the sick little girl.
Then, he passed a spoon of medicine to her.
The little girl opened her mouth and ate it. She didn't feel bitter at all.
Li Yi poured a lot of pepper into her soup bowl.
She blew on the soup and drank it. She sweated and immediately felt comfortable.
There were no outsiders today. Li Yi ate the same soup, scallion pancakes, and pickled vegetables.
He found a random seat, but he was still the center of attention. Everyone looked at him.
"Let's eat. Drink the mutton soup. It's best to eat it with sweet or salted garlic. When the new garlic comes out, we will pickle more this year."
Li Yi stood up and said to a large group of people.
Everyone's eyes lit up. They believed him. Because this young man, Dongzhu, would definitely eat whatever he said.
No matter how expensive the garlic was, if Dongzhu said there was, there would definitely be.

"Open the kiln ~ ~" The housekeeper shouted. The kiln that was simmering the cement was opened.
The person who fetched the cement put on a mask and went over to fill the cement.
Then, according to the housekeeper and the previous owner's instructions, they started to build the house.
All the people who came later felt warm in their hearts. Zhuangzi actually built a kiln.
They all knew that this was a technical foundation. Not everyone could build a kiln, let alone a big one.
The new eunuchs and palace maids were excited. It was finally their turn to enjoy.
The mulberry trees on the other side were all sold. The grapevines were moved over with large pieces of soil to be planted.
Li Yi instructed the people to replenish the soil.
He spent money to buy the soil on the mountain and then mixed it with grass and wood to fertilize.
No one felt that the soil on the mountain could be sold, but Li Yi spent money to buy it. Many people went to dig.
Song De wanted to organize people to dig but was stopped by Li Yi.
No. Our people have work to do. Don't waste their energy.
"Water." Li Yi instructed.
Everyone poured the water that had been dried for a few days into the grapevine field.
This grapevine field was different from other grapevines. The grapevines were clearly layered and lined up vertically and horizontally.
"In two days, we'll cut the branches and prune the branches. Dig a drainage ditch on the high ground above and also below."
Li Yi said one by one. He hoped that the grapes transplanted this year would bear some good fruit and he would use it to make wine.
The grass and wood ash was the potassium fertilizer, the farm manure was the organic fertilizer, and the phosphorus fertilizer was sprinkled in according to the situation to adjust the pH.
"I've tried my best. I hope there will be a good harvest this year."
Li Yi looked at the group of people picking mulberry leaves on the other side of the forest and murmured.
Li Yi's Zhuangzi field was north of the Imperial Plantation and south of it was a group of people's villages.
The people in that small village had always lived well. It was close to Chang 'an City. Many people who didn't have money to live in Chang' an looked for a place to live.
Before the Kaiyuan Era, Buddhist temples were good places to live.
However, now that Buddhism was suppressed, Taoist temples were better.
But they were all affected.
The outsiders ran out of the city to find houses and built many shacks.
"Will they steal my grapes?" Li Yi thought of a very practical problem.
There were no surveillance cameras or barbed wire. What could he do if the people opposite came to pick a few bunches of grapes and ran away?
Picking grapes was not a problem. He was just afraid that the grape seedlings would be damaged when picking them.
If they were not ripe, he would secretly pick them. If they were too sour, he would throw them away. He would pick them again. If they were still sour, he would throw them away again …
Steward Song De thought of the same problem. He asked, "Dongzhu, send someone to guard with bows and arrows. Is that okay?"
"It's just stealing grapes. Bows and arrows? Should I bury landmines? "Li Yi objected. He didn't want to fight to the death.
"What's a landmine, Dongzhu?" Song De was puzzled.
"How about this. After a few days, when the grapes are grown, you go over there and ask if there's anyone who is willing to come over to help."
"Then ask their village chief to arrange for people to come over and work for us. Pay them."
Li Yi said to the steward.
The steward was unhappy. "Why, Dongzhu? We have enough people. "
"There are enough people to work, but there are not enough grape fields. It's a waste of manpower. Ask the village chief to arrange for ten people to come over. Each person will be paid 30 copper coins a day. They will be provided with lunch."
Li Yi thought of a good idea. Hire ten people to work. Who would care about the village chief's opinion?
If there was a problem, they would go to the village chief. In the Tang dynasty, the village chief cared about his reputation. Many cases were in the hands of the village chief or the village elder.
Under such circumstances, they should not be contradictory but mutually beneficial.
