It was similar to the imperial court meeting that Li Yi attended last time.
Li Yi felt sleepy just by looking at it. Li Longji, on the other hand, enjoyed it and never got tired. He was especially serious during the ancestral worship segment.
The people of Li Family Zhuangzi, the Winged Knights, the navy, and the officials all knelt down to receive their punishment.
First, they were punished, then they were hit with the plank. Each person was hit ten times. They didn't even take off their pants. They were hit directly. There was no need to fight.
After they were hit, they all winked and groaned.
When they were waiting for the reward, they instantly became excited and knelt down again.
Each person was given a thousand one-tiered exchange coupons, and then they were given money according to their work.
These were given by Her Majesty, and the imperial court gave them money according to their rank. It was less than what was given before.
However, merit was a salary increase. It was given every month, even when they were old and retired.
The benefits given by Li Family Zhuangzi were given by Her Majesty. She gave silk, small mirrors, cotton cloth, rice, flour, soybean oil, sesame oil, soap, toilet water …
It was a mess. If they were sold together, the price would be more than a thousand tiered.
When they went home, they didn't need to buy anything.
There were kerosene lamps among the benefits. The price was high and the cost was low.
The villagers were actually just here for a stroll. The rewards given by Li Longji had nothing to do with them. They were Li Yi's private property.
According to the rules, if Her Majesty gave slaves to others or servants with death contracts, it meant that there was a procedure to remove their slave status.
After the reward was given, they would automatically remove their status.
Could it be that the residents of the Li Family's farmstead could leave the farmstead and live freely? Their children didn't need freedom.
After leaving Li Family Zhuangzi, they had to work, take the imperial exam, become an official, and govern the local area.
It was the same in Zhuangzi. Like Luoyang in Henan, they used to govern the local area and had a lot of power.
The local officials would greet them warmly when they saw them.
The local officials represented the imperial court, and the villagers represented Li Family Zhuangzi.
After the bestowal, it was noon again. They continued to eat in Hanyuan Hall.
The Winged Knights did not need kerosene lamps, but they had one at home. Every Winged Knight had one at home.
They couldn't sell it, so they exchanged it for something else and prepared to send it home.
After dinner, they would leave in the afternoon and go back by train. Their things would be sent directly to their homes by ship. They would be separated from them.
Just like the Winged Knights, they were not afraid of being targeted for their valuable kerosene lamps.
Their homes were all close to each other. How could there be a powerful thief who could attack their homes?
Hanyuan Hall was holding a big banquet. The people of the capital government were also eating big banquets and noodles.
Li Yi had promised to make Zhajiang noodles. No matter where they were in the capital, as long as they had a meal, it was guaranteed to be Zhajiang noodles.
There are foreign ships docked at the wharf.
As long as he didn't stuff himself to death, there would be enough noodles and sauce.
…
"When it comes to eating noodles, Li Dongzhu is still the best. He even sent people to deliver food to those who were repairing the mountain roads. He said that he would treat the entire capital government to a meal. "
On a mountain, a person repairing the road held a bowl of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate to his heart's content.
He was the person in charge of repairing the road. There were also people who came to buy large pieces of wood.
The woodcutter who delivered the firewood also came up and helped to cut the wood. He tied the small branches into bundles and carried them down to other people's homes to be sold.
They gathered together to eat, happily chatting about happy things.
Only one person was silent. In front of him was a can of braised rabbit meat in a bamboo tube.
He could not blend in with those who did manual labor. He was a scholar, a scholar who could write poems and essays. He was Princess True Jade's gigolo.
It was that unlucky guy who finally got the chance to meet the Emperor. In the end, the questions he asked matched all the ones he had prepared.
In the end, he came up with the idea of building a zoo and was arranged to repair the road.
A road that was ten thousand feet long and twenty feet wide. There were thirty people to help, and each person was paid thirty coins a day.
He would slowly repair it. Maybe when the road was repaired and the Emperor's anger subsided, he would be given another chance?
If he worked a little harder, Princess True Jade would miss him. He would take the time to write a good poem for Princess True Jade.
Some time ago, he wrote a letter and asked the person who delivered the money to bring it back to Princess True Jade. In the end, the other party did not accept the letter and did not send any money.
He said that Princess True Jade gave him a verbal order and scolded him. She also pointed out how to repair the road without spending money and make it longer.
The route of the road was changed. Princess True Jade's residence arranged for someone to keep an eye on the money every day.
Good wood that could be made into beams or coffins was sold to those who needed it.
It was agreed that the wood would be placed there. If there were any problems, they would be replaced free of charge and be responsible for transporting the new wood down.
The wood used to make beams and coffins had to be treated and placed there for a few years to ensure that it would not crack. Only then would it be good wood.
The wood that was not suitable for making beams and coffins was sold to the people who made charcoal. They would go up the mountain and take it away.
Previously, the woodcutter had helped to deal with the branches, saving the charcoal people a lot of effort. They did not need to cut and repair the wood themselves. They were very happy to be given some money.
The philanthropist in Lantian County, Inspector Zhangsun Xin, also came. He brought a group of people and pushed carts to dig the mountain soil.
They dug the soil wherever the road was being repaired. If the soil was not suitable for pressing the road, they would also be paid.
There were thirty people, so they should be paid nine hundred coins a day. It was not a small amount. Who asked them to be professional? They could do both technical and physical work.
Now, they could receive more than two carts a day. After paying the wages, there was still a lot left. It was taken away by the people sent by Princess True Jade.
Seeing that the matter of spending Princess True Jade's money every day had turned into earning money, was he really that useless?
"Scholar Luo, do you think the noodles are not good?" Someone beside him saw that the student was in a daze and kindly reminded him.
The student's name was Ron. At first, no one knew why he had come over to repair the road. They thought that it was Princess True Jade's kindness.
After Princess True Jade's people came over and scolded Ron, everyone realized that this person had been recommended to His Majesty. His Majesty punished him to repair the road.
Every day, Princess True Jade paid. Then, with Li Dongzhu's guidance, she began to sell things, even soil.
This student was really unlucky! Princess True Jade compared him to Li Dongzhu.
She said that he was at a loss in front of the emperor and was sent to repair the road, but he could not think of a good way to make money.
Li Yi was busy with surgery. He took the time to come back and explain the matter clearly.
From time to time, this student Ron would mutter, "Think of a way."
Sigh! Looking at him, he was quite pitiful.
Princess True Jade was a little unreasonable. Your brother was the emperor, so you were not afraid. If it was someone else, wouldn't you be nervous?
Repairing the road was just repairing the road. Who would think about making money? Li Dongzhu was different from others. Looking at this student's appearance, he was really handsome. He was even willing to work.
"Oh!" Ron did not seem to see the pitiful gazes of others as he lowered his head to eat the noodles.
No matter what, Princess True Jade had sent him canned food. When he thought of a better idea and finished repairing the road, he would let her see it.
The sauce was delicious, and there was also a clove of garlic. Now that there were more and more garlic, ordinary people could eat it for every meal.
Plant … Eh? Could something be planted by the roadside?
Ron suddenly had an inspiration. Wasn't it just making money! What was there to make money?
