Report

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Roar! Ha! "

When Li Yi found his cheap brother, Li Chengqi was riding on a stallion and waving his newly made 'Suozi'. He was shouting as if he was going to fight the enemy.

A circle of people was watching. They were not looking at Li Chengqi's antics, but at the Suozi.

They already knew that Dongzhu had made a new tool for harvesting wheat. It was said that it was very useful, even better than a sickle.

"Brother, do you want to have lunch before you leave?" Li Yi went to the side and asked.

Li Chengqi, who was playing happily, stopped and jumped down from the stallion. "Brother Yi, give me the Three Character Classic. I'll leave now. I don't want to eat."

Li Yi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.

Li Chengqi took the paper, carried the Suozi and shouted, "Let's go!" and really left.

More than a dozen stallions galloped in the direction of Tonghua Gate.

Steward Song De changed his clothes and went to carry out the soy sauce sale today.

The eunuchs and palace maids turned around and ran to support the business.

Today, the people who bought soy sauce came late, so the chickens and ducks were delayed.

Especially the chickens, they were not obedient.

Therefore, there were fewer chickens and more ducks.

Of course, when the sale failed, they still shouted for money. In the end, they would get a 10% discount.

They would not weigh the chickens, but only the chickens.

There were people in Zhuangzi who knew about chickens and ducks. They could not accept sick chickens and ducks.

At the same time, they did not want too many roosters and drakes. They wanted to see how many hens and ducks there were.

Li Yi did not need to worry about this. The people in Zhuangzi were very smart.

The sale of chickens and ducks was slow. It was not until 2: 30 in the afternoon that a large group of chickens and ducks were driven to the temporary enclosure.

The children and students ate lunch first. Li Yi accompanied them and starved.

Those who laid the foundation drank a lot of water and did not eat.

"In the future, we can't wait for some people and let everyone starve."

Li Yi said to Steward Song De during lunch.

"Dongzhu, if you don't eat, how can the others eat?" Song De also thought that it was better to take turns eating.

"There are a lot of women in the manor, so we can work in three shifts. Eight hours for one shift, and every ten hours for one day off," Li Yi suggested.

"Dongzhu, rest?" Song De was the first to object. "How can you not do anything? You can't even rest when you have your own work to do. "

"Rest is for better work." Li Yi stated his reason.

"Then, then …"

"Am I Dongzhu, or are you Dongzhu?" Li Yi was unyielding.

"Rest." Song De immediately compromised.

"Raise the chickens and ducks, and ask the children to take turns cleaning up the feces." Li Yi found work for the children.

He used a small shovel to collect chicken and duck feces. When the biogas pool ran out, he cleaned it up and threw it in.

***

"Spring and summer, autumn and winter. In these four seasons, one's luck was boundless. They call it north and south, west and east. These four directions should be the center … "

In the palace, Yao Chong held a piece of paper and read aloud while the other ministers listened.

If it was the imperial examination, any examinee who wrote this would be immediately dismissed.

What was this? There was no literary talent at all. Three words in a sentence, three words in a sentence. Was it fun?

However, when this content was written by a child, it was simply a work of God.

It was easy to understand, and easy to read. It was easy to remember, and fun to read.

Although it was just these words, astronomy, geography, human relations, and morals were even more accurate. It contained everything.

The ministers wished that they could make a copy right now and take it home for their children to use.

This three-character classic could be learned by a child who could talk. Three or four years old was no problem at all.

Who compiled it? Who? Who? Which almighty was it?

Li Longji stood there with a smile on his face.

However, he did not say who provided it. He was afraid that the ministers would run to Zhuangzi and expose his identity.

If Brother Yi knew his identity, it would be impossible for him to go to Zhuangzi in the future.

Zhuangzi made people feel relaxed and at ease.

If you said it was a peasant, it was traceless; if you said it was solid, it was contentious; if you said it was complicated, it was warm; if you said it was scholarly, it was bowing.

It was very contradictory. It was obviously a Zhuangzi, but it gave people the feeling that it was floating.

When you entered, you would immediately relax and return to the world.

Li Longji thought, 'What is going on?'

Zhuangzi was only seven miles away from Chang 'an. It was very close.

It was so close that walking in was like a dream. Everyone was so happy.

There was no place like Zhuangzi.

It was like … the paradise in The Peach Blossom Spring.

Yes, that was it.

Li Longji found the location.

But then he shook his head. No, the paradise looked beautiful, but it was actually useless.

However, Brother Yi's Zhuangzi did not hide from the world. Instead, he was very down-to-earth. He sold soy sauce at a very high price.

The soy sauce in the palace was 55 yuan per catty. It was impossible to get it outside.

"Diligence brings merit, but acting brings no benefit. It is better to work hard to avoid it. "While Li Longji was in a dilemma, Yao Chong finished reading.

The entire hall was silent. Everyone was thinking about the matter mentioned in the Three Character Classic.

After a while, Yao Chong sighed, "Sigh … Your Majesty, who did this? Why didn't you tell us? "

"Engraving, take it for enlightenment." Li Longji didn't respond to Yao Chong's words.

"Your Majesty, I want to see this person." Yao Chong insisted.

"No need. He doesn't want to see others." Li Longji refused.

He did not know why, but he did not want others to know about Li Yi.

If possible, it would be best for his brother to forget about Li Yi.

Then he would go to Zhuangzi alone to play. That place belonged to him.

The ministers looked at each other. What was the emperor trying to do? What was the point of keeping an author a secret?

"The summer harvest is coming. I have something for you to take a look at." Li Longji changed the topic and signaled to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi ordered someone to bring the reaper over.

"This thing can reap wheat with a sweep." Li Longji introduced while everyone was looking.

Yao Chong looked and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the same as the curved plough from a few days ago?"

Li Longji smiled but did not answer.

The ministers were helpless. What was wrong with the emperor today?

***

When it was time for dinner, Empress Wang was curious.

She was also curious about what had happened to His Majesty today. Why was he so happy?

"Your Majesty, did you encounter something happy?" Empress Wang asked.

Li Longji thought for a while and suddenly said to Empress Wang, "Let's stay outside today. I will bring you to a place. Don't expose your identity. It's like this …"

Li Longji introduced Li Yi and Zhuangzi to the empress.

Empress Wang was shocked when she heard this.

"Ah? Is that so? How is that possible? How can there be so many things? Only 16 years old? It's fun. Let's go. "

Then the two of them brought the 'palace experts' and hurriedly left the palace and the capital.

They did not eat dinner and prepared to go to Li Yi's Zhuangzi to eat barbecue, the kind that barbecued skewers.

Gao Lishi wanted to go but was left at home. What if his attitude was too respectful and brother Yi saw it?

The group left Tonghua Gate and ran for a while before arriving at Ba Shui.

In the past, Li Yi's Zhuangzi appeared in front of them.

At this time, Zhuangzi was brightly lit with torches and methane lamps. The sky was dark.

It was now half past five, half past seven in the evening.

In another half hour, it would be five.

Two hours and eight quarters. The first four quarters was the beginning, and the last four quarters was the beginning.

Usually, midnight and noon were not called the beginning.
