"This is Mr. Mu. He used ten cows in exchange for Brother Yi's comprehensive physical examination. Brother Yi said that it's nothing serious. He will write down what to eat later and prepare some medicine."
There was a small room in the canteen. Nine people sat at two tables.
The palace maids and eunuchs shared a table.
Li Chengqi introduced Li Longji to Li Dan. Li Longji listened carefully.
Empress Wang lowered her head slightly. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was trying to hold back something.
"It's good that there's nothing serious. Mr. Mu, there are other people in the family. Bring them here." Li Longji said to Li Dan.
"In a few days, I will bring them here." Li Dan agreed.
While speaking, he lowered his head and ate a piece of lamb liver in soy sauce. Next to him was half a salted goose egg that was not very salty.
There was also a plate of garlic kelp. He bought it together with the cabbage and oysters at the seaside. It was expensive.
"The main thing is to take advantage of the good weather to bask in the sun and wear big pants. If you don't have a place in winter, you can wear it in summer. "
Li Yi cared about the old man. As a doctor, he took ten cows' worth of medical fees from him. It was necessary to remind him.
Li Dan nodded gently while eating. He didn't need to remember this. He had two sons and a daughter-in-law.
"Uncle, what about me?" Empress Wang asked.
"Sister-in-law is fine." Li Yi said confidently. He didn't know that the whole family had teamed up to fool him.
"Third Brother, are you free today?" Li Chengqi asked.
Li Dan slowed down his movements. He pretended to choose the dishes, but in fact, he wanted to listen.
"I found a way to pass a message to His Majesty. The people in the palace told me that His Majesty has selected a few relatives and wants to let them go now. However, they plan to celebrate the New Year."
Li Longji explained the situation. He found the people and gave them benefits. However, it would be the New Year soon.
Li Chengqi and Li Dan were relieved. They thought that Li Longji had found out that their father had run out and came to keep an eye on him.
"No." Li Yi refused. He continued, "The relatives often contact each other during the New Year. The result of the struggle is often mutual compromise."
"Yes." Li Dan suddenly said.
Li Longji narrowed his eyes. "Indeed, we must inform His Majesty without delay."
"Indeed, we can't give those people a chance," Li Chengqi agreed.
"Uncle, you're really thorough." Empress Wang reached out and placed her hand on Li Yi's head. Li Yi didn't even try to avoid it. He was used to it.
Li Dan watched and understood how close the Emperor's son was to Li Yi.
The key point was that this young man was very familiar with fighting. If only he had this ability back then …
For a moment, Li Dan was a little jealous of her son.
This young man knew too many things, and he even had heaven-defying medical skills.
The Empress was already pregnant. She hadn't had a child for so many years, but now she was pregnant. Everyone in the Imperial Physician Department deserved to die.
"Little Brother Yi, do you allow foreigners to come to the Tang dynasty to propose marriage?" Li Longji changed the topic.
There was a marriage this year, and they had all agreed to it. Then, something happened, and then there were people coming over.
"Of course not. Although married princesses are not real princesses, the craftsmen who follow the princesses are real craftsmen."
Li Yi refused. How could technology be passed down casually?
It was necessary to block technology. Only with technological advantage could there be trade suppression.
Thinking of the technology blockade, Li Yi said again, "Anyone who goes out of the Tang dynasty must be searched. It doesn't matter what the goods are, but whether there are blueprints or not.
For example, if there are blueprints and real objects, seize them. If the craftsmen want to go out, as long as they can be found, they are not allowed.
I can't take good things out and then someone goes to support the enemy. If that's the case, I won't give it to them. "
"Okay, Little Brother Yi, this will be passed down to His Majesty." Li Longji still agreed. Yes, why should he give away his good things to others?
Another problem was solved, and everyone ate in peace.
After the meal, Li Dan left with the medicine and the instructions written by Li Yi. Li Longji said that he was afraid that the old man would fall, so he walked him a distance.
Li Dan sat in the four-wheeled carriage and looked at the food content written by Li Yi. He smiled and said to himself, "The Tang dynasty is indeed better."
Empress Wang wanted to see the baby again, but Li Yi refused. It was not good for the ultrasound to be used on babies too often.
Empress Wang expressed her unhappiness, then turned around and happily went to the ice rink to watch Li Longji and Li Chengqi skating.
At this time in Chang 'an, many restaurants and shops were selling roasted oysters.
A large number of oysters were sold wholesale, and the people who bought them gave the price according to the rules.
Small shops naturally had cheaper oysters, but they couldn't buy medium-sized oysters because they were all small in size.
They could buy small and medium-sized oysters of higher quality.
The best restaurants naturally had big oysters, and the price was also more expensive.
The oyster shells were thrown away one by one. No one cared when they were thrown away, but when a pile was piled up, someone kindly helped to clean it up.
County Magistrate Pei Yaoqing had nothing to do in the yamen, so he came out to see the people.
He stood beside a stall selling roasted oysters and saw a pile of shells being put into a sack and carried away. The person in the stall even thanked him.
"Follow someone and see where the shells are sent." Pei Yaoqing felt that there was something wrong.
A yamen runner nodded and followed the person.
About half an hour later, the yamen runner came back.
"Ming Residence. The shells are all on the carriage and are being transported out of the city to the west. I asked and they said that they are sending them out to be buried."
The yamen runner gave an answer. He didn't believe that the shells were really buried.
"Go find some people to clean up the oyster shells in other places. If there is one, I want one." Pei Yaoqing felt that there was something wrong, a very important problem.
Not long after, the yamen runner came back with a palm print on his face.
"Ming Residence. They said that they are from King Song's Residence, so the oyster shells must be given to them. I just asked one more question …" The yamen runner felt wronged.
"Looks like the oyster shells are of great use. It's fine, they have accepted the order. I can't stand against King Song. You … take an extra hundred coins."
Pei Yaoqing had no choice. As long as King Song didn't participate in politics, no one in Chang 'an would dare to offend him.
The other party had already given up the throne. Now, all he wanted was a few oyster shells. If your yamen runner wanted to snatch them from him, what's wrong with hitting you?
As for why he wanted the shells, do I need to explain it to you?
The yamen runner covered his face, "Ming Residence, it's not about money. It's …"
"Two hundred coins. If you don't want it, then forget it." Pei Yaoqing was straightforward.
"I will listen to Ming Residence." The yamen runner was even more straightforward. He rubbed his face and prepared to go back to get the money. He hated that he couldn't find the person who slapped him just now to get another slap.
It wasn't embarrassing to be slapped by King Song's Residence, and it didn't hurt either. The slap print was due to the cold weather.
Pei Yaoqing continued walking and went to the next stall selling roasted oysters. Whenever he saw someone waiting for him, he would throw away the oyster and clear it.
Needless to say, the person sent by King Song was keeping an eye on the oyster to prevent it from being snatched away.
"Shell, oyster shell, give it to us." A group of people from the Imperial Physician Bureau rushed over and stretched out their hands to the person from King Song's Residence.
"I'll just throw it away." The person shook his head and refused.
"You can't throw it away. This is medicine, give it to us." An imperial physician said righteously. I'm an imperial physician.
"I know. King Song said that it can be used as fertilizer to prevent sudden sourness. I won't give it to you." The person spoke the truth. Throw it away? That's impossible.
"Give us some. We are from the Imperial Physician Bureau. King Song can't be unreasonable." The imperial physician panicked.
"You can buy oysters and eat the meat. Won't the shell be left behind?" The person suggested.
"We won't throw the shell away." The person who set up the stall reacted.
