"Gather and line up!" Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Accompanied by this slogan, the returning warriors of the Great Tang jumped down from the carriages and quickly regrouped.
Everyone, including the officials, had the same hairstyle. It was half an inch long, and it grew on the way back.
Their dark faces were lined with resolute lines, and their eyes were bright and spirited.
Li Longji stood in the middle, and Li Yi was next to him. The others were at least five meters away from him.
Looking at the neat formation below, Li Longji felt a sense of pride. The soldiers of the Tang dynasty were all so strong.
He spoke into the microphone in front of him, "For the sake of the Tang dynasty, you have gone overseas. You have gone through hardships, fought the wind and the waves, fought the sea and the sky, and finally brought back the rich seeds and precious goods. You are the brave generals of the Tang dynasty, the pillars of the dynasty. You should be recorded in the history books and remembered by the people. I am proud of you, and the Tang dynasty is glorious because of you. How strong? How strong! "
Clap, clap, clap, clap … Li Yi immediately clapped his hands.
Clap, clap, clap, clap … The officials were half a beat slower.
Clap, clap, clap, clap … The people were the loudest. They liked to see the army line up. The stronger the soldiers looked, the more relieved they felt.
The people who returned tried hard to straighten their backs and pursed their lips.
Li Yi frowned, quietly picked up his loudspeaker, and tried to imitate the effect of many people shouting together.
"Protect the Tang dynasty, for my hometown, for the safety of His Majesty, and for the safety of the mountains and rivers," Li Yi shouted.
The people of the Li Family Zhuangzi and the Winged Knights instantly understood and hurriedly shouted. The navy reacted and waited for others to shout before continuing.
"Protect the Tang dynasty, for my hometown, for the safety of His Majesty, and for the safety of the mountains and rivers," echoed around.
A smile appeared on Li Longji's face. Bi Gou and the others curled their lips. They were just short of scolding him as a 'sycophant'.
But before they could, the band sounded, "Mi ~ Sou Doo ~ La ~ Mi Sou ~"
The welcome march was not used for the athletes' march.
Someone organized a group and marched neatly towards the Li Family Zhuangzi. They needed to undergo a physical examination at the Li Family Zhuangzi to see if they had any diseases.
Then he would tell them the etiquette and procedure of the Grand Court on the fifteenth of the eighth month, so as to avoid any mistakes.
Li Longji's honor guard followed behind, holding the line for the officers and soldiers.
Chi Dai, Zhu Dan, and the others from Tubo who were able to participate were all looking at them enviously. Another strong army had emerged from the Tang dynasty.
Tubo's soldiers were considered to be valiant. The army of the Tang dynasty had one more thing, and this extra thing was the most frightening.
"Doctor Li." Minister of War Su Yi observed the returning navy and said to Li Yi, "They have some kind of power."
"Yes! The soul of the army! It wasn't just for the sake of promotion and wealth, nor was it because he was forced to fight. Where the root is, where the soul is.
The root of the Military forces of the Tang dynasty was the Tang dynasty, their hometown. The people of the Tang dynasty were the existence they needed to protect, and the people of the Tang dynasty were also their backing.
An army that is in harmony with the people is the most powerful, and an army that is united with the people is the most effective. "
Li Yi knew what it was. This was the best army.
"Improve the treatment of the officers and soldiers. In the future, the people will not work in production and will only like to be soldiers. What should we do?"
Song Jing had a problem, so he had to find something to do.
"Set a threshold, how many words they know, what questions they can solve, and how strong their bodies are. If they meet the requirements, they can be soldiers.
The coastal areas with a low standard of living are excluded. They have no production resources to use.
Being soldiers is a way for them to increase their family's income. If they don't know anything, they can learn in the army. If they are weak, they can eat well in the army. "
Li Yi gave a solution. He was not worried that all the people would want to be soldiers.
Their families had land, and they could see that the crops in the fields were increasing. They did not have to worry about their livelihood, so it was dangerous to join the army.
When the people who were free to watch saw the procession walking away, they scattered and spread the news.
The train started to load supplies. Many things had been delayed in the past few days.
When Li Yi passed by the bridgehead, there were many bundles of soybean straw around.
The harvest season had arrived. Some needed to wait for ten days to half a month, while some were ripe now.
Including the bean worms, which did not eat anything. The people found a place to bury them and prepare to plant them or sell them.
At the moment, they sold the bad ones first, or they could eat them at home and save the money for pork and chicken.
The people did not raise cattle or sheep. After tying up the soybean straw, they sent it to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Others could come to collect it, but the price could not be lower than the Li Family Zhuangzi.
It was written in the newspaper that the soybean straw could be used as fine feed after being crushed and mixed with other feed.
Other animals could not do it. Oh, rabbits could do it. They had to chew it upside down. It was called rumination.
The newspaper said that the soybean straw became very good under the effect of some bacteria in the rumen. It was better for animals to eat it than to eat grass.
"Xiao Yi, can the soybean straw be fed to the horse?" Bi Goo saw someone holding the soybean straw to the horse's mouth. The horse seemed to be avoiding it.
"That horse is not hungry. It will eat when it is hungry. The effect is small unless it is artificially fermented. It is strenuous, strenuous … Eh? I will make a few simple types of fermented bacteria.
For example, the fermented flour, distiller's grains and vinegar grains. When mixed, it will become fermented milk.
If you need to ferment something, put it in and seal it well. It must be sealed well. That is why it is strenuous. "
As Li Yi spoke, he thought of how to make additional fermented things. Even silage could be used to speed up the fermentation process.
"Yes!" Bi Gou nodded repeatedly. He looked at the others as he nodded, meaning: Did you see that? I asked a question and you got something good. I am the key.
"Xiao Yi, do you eat donkeys?" Liu Youqiu understood and asked.
"Yes!" Li Yi replied with one word.
"Is there anything new?" Liu Youqiu was not satisfied.
"No!" Li Yi still replied with one word.
"Hahahaha …" Everyone laughed.
"Brother Yi, are you sure there is nothing?" Li Longji asked.
"No … Nothing is impossible. Just now I said that it is strenuous and difficult to seal because it is anaerobic fermentation. We still have aerobic ones. This one does not need to be sealed. The temperature and humidity are enough. "
Li Yi gave face. Since his father-in-law asked, he had to give it to him even if it was not there.
Liu Youqiu: "…"
Everyone laughed again. They looked very happy.
"It is a pity that all the soybean straws were burned!" Yao Chong learned a lot from others since he started studying agriculture.
"Those who raise cows also need to feed them. Feeding them alone is not enough. They need to be mixed with other things.
The people do not know that they need someone to guide them when they sell to those who specialize in raising cows and sheep.
The role of an official is to educate the people. Not only morality, but also to whip the spring cows and teach them farming books.
If no one is in charge of buying, how can the people sell it themselves? When others buy it, they ask the people to send dozens of bundles of soybean straws for one coin. The people might as well light the fire themselves. "
Li Yi explained the duties of an official. Not only did he have to teach the people morality and code of conduct, but he also had to provide them with ways to make money and contact the people to buy and sell.
"For example, when the people see that I have to hire people to spend money, they might as well burn the straws and return the ashes to the fields.
"In the end, when I want to sell it, you don't let me contact the buyer. I burn the straws and you punish me.
