Just as Empress Wang said, everyone in Luoyang Palace felt a kind of will.
The ordinary people thought simply that His Majesty would give them breakfast.
But the great clans and local powers understood that this was not a matter of breakfast, but a declaration of imperial power.
The Li Family Zhuangzi represented imperial power, represented His Majesty.
What great clan or aristocratic family could send people to watch the lanterns and capture people on the first night, and then get up early the next morning to provide millions of people with food?
No one dared to imagine that the financial, material, and manpower involved were unimaginable.
"Brother Yi's methods …" Li Longji didn't know what to say.
They had just arrived, from dusk to dawn. What appeared to be a clean government and a gift from His Majesty was an overwhelming offensive.
"San Lang, someone must have written a memorial to impeach Uncle. Henan Prefecture is not like the Imperial Capital!"
Empress Wang picked up a quail egg from her bowl of spicy soup and fed it to Li Longji.
Li Longji opened his mouth and ate it. "People are really not as good as the heavens."
He was a little pitiful, pitiful for those people. There were always people who thought they were powerful, but in reality, they didn't exist.
The heavens could rain, but people couldn't make waves.
"Ah! Bao 'er is uncomfortable. Quick, change. "
Empress Wang heard the noise and discovered her daughter's condition. She quickly took care of it.
… …
Sure enough, it began to rain.
The weather was too obvious. There was no dew, but the morning sun appeared.
Those who needed to work would not be delayed by the rain. The Sixteen Guards had changed, but they were still standing guard in the various squares.
The women of wealthy families who didn't have specific jobs and other men came to the riverside, west of the three bridges of the Luo River.
They were looking at the Tang dynasty cruiser, Li Yi's yacht, docked here.
They were buying fruit juice, beer, rice wine, snacks for drinking, and popcorn. They were all good things, or at least they thought so.
Because the seller was a small robot, how much could a plate of fennel beans be worth?
The small robot delivered it, plus a bowl of rice wine brewed this year, five hundred taels.
Even with this, they still had to line up with umbrellas.
It was cheap, ten thousand taels of rice wine.
Wine, sake, Xinfeng wine.
A shed was built at the back of the shore, and some people were selling umbrellas.
Li Longji and the others stood on top of the city wall and looked down with binoculars. Bi Goo mumbled to himself.
Hearing Bi Goo's mumbling, everyone looked for Li Yi.
Li Yi was about thirty steps away from them, holding a large umbrella. If it wasn't for the conspicuous umbrella, they wouldn't have been able to see him in the rain.
"Li Lang, aren't you going to work?" Princess Yongmu asked Li Yi as she looked at the two children who were sitting next to her and reading on their tablets.
The little girl and her junior brother, Li Guicang, were looking at the same computer. The two of them were rhythmically flipping through the pages with their fingers. Each page took about twenty seconds.
He would read it from the beginning to the end and memorize it. He would read it again tomorrow and the day after to consolidate his knowledge.
"After I'm done, I'll go to the Ministry of Revenue. The accounts there are the most troublesome. Checking the accounts is tiring work."
Li Yi wasn't in a hurry. Luoyang didn't stop its daily activities, so the commoners continued with their lives.
"We're too far away from them." Princess Yongmu also looked over.
"We can't get close. Otherwise, there'll be a bunch of problems. They sell wine and fennel beans below.
The cheapest wine bought locally can hold half a catty of wine in a bowl. Plus thirty to forty boiled broad beans, it's five hundred coins.
When I go over, Old Bi Goo will only think about taxes. The capital is only four to five coins, and the profit is a hundred times. "
Li Yi was prepared. He was prepared to keep the money for himself.
He would treat the commoners to spicy soup and buy breakfast from restaurants and stalls. He would pay for it, and it wouldn't be good for him to ask his father-in-law for it.
Therefore, he ordered people to buy a large amount of cheap wine and broad beans last night. He boiled the broad beans into fennel beans and sold them outside.
They weren't valuable, and most people couldn't see cute little robots.
Selling one set could earn back the money for a hundred people's breakfast. Plus the umbrella, selling ten thousand sets would probably earn him back his capital.
This was because he also bought other people's things, even though they were for his own people.
Cooking for the soldiers was cheaper than buying, so the sales volume was about the same.
He couldn't give this to Old Bi Goo no matter what, so he stayed away from him.
"Li Lang, it's easy to earn money."
Xiao Lan went over to watch the two children study. Her eyes hurt from watching, so she came back to chat.
"You have to have an official background. It's the hardest to accumulate capital. When you think of a way to get money, quickly find connections.
I was lucky and found the right person. Otherwise, I would have to find the right person through others.
I can do the same business, but others can't.
Fortunately, I don't spend much money on myself, and I return it to society. "
Li Yi didn't avoid his disciples and directly talked about the truth of life.
The little girl's hand that was swiping the screen paused for a moment, then she started again.
"Master is right. If you want to find a master, you have to find the best." The second disciple's eyes didn't leave the screen.
"Old Bi Goo is actually not bad." Li Yi said against his will. His disciples would definitely not learn from him if they were taught by Bi Goo.
"Master is right." The two disciples responded tacitly and continued to watch the screen.
Li Yi was gratified. What a good disciple, so quick-witted.
The people buying and eating below also felt that the wine was good. The wine was delicious. The Li Family Zhuangzi probably didn't make any money from this wine. The taste and texture were excellent.
Some people were sent to buy and pack up. When they returned, they would tell others what the little robot looked like.
On the other side of the river, there were also people looking at the boat. Li Yi was in a hurry when he returned, so most of the people in Luoyang didn't see the yacht.
Looking at it now, it was inspiring. It was too beautiful.
This cruiser was from the Tang dynasty. It was very fast, and other boats were 50 miles ahead. It caught up in the blink of an eye.
More and more people began to cross the bridge and go around the side to buy things. Bi Goo mumbled and suddenly stopped. "Where's Xiao Yi?"
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and signaled with their eyes. Over there, under the big umbrella.
"Xiao Yi ~ Xiao Yi ~!" Bi Goo shouted. He was full of energy.
"You ran so far and you still won't let me go." Li Yi muttered. He shouted back, "Who is it?"
"What do you think?" Bi Goo was unhappy.
"I heard it. The rain is heavy. What's the matter?" Li Yi found an excuse.
"Come here. There's good news." Bi Goo shouted.
"You want me to stay here?" Li Yi continued to pretend.
"I'll go over. You stay there and don't move." Bi Goo wanted to go over.
"Come, let's go. Aiya!" Li Yi had no choice but to ask someone to push the umbrella away.
There was a platform under the umbrella. Under the platform, there were wheels. It was a universal wheel.
Seeing the umbrella move, Bi Goo's expression relaxed.
Li Yi came over. "Let's make it clear first. I'm not paying taxes. I've spent too much money."
"It's not taxes. How much is the tax?" Bi Goo assured Li Yi.
"You want to take a boat? We'll go over after we finish selling the goods. "Li Yi was relieved for the time being.
"Xiao Yi, crabs. I ate crabs. I ate a few in Chang 'an. There are many crabs here. Bring your boat over. The crabs in some places are delicious."
Bi Goo said something that surprised Li Yi.
"Yes … Ah!" Li Yi slapped his forehead. He was thinking about the problem of Henan Province and did not care about the crabs.
There were a few lakes where the crabs were delicious. The hairy crabs were bigger than the ones raised in Zhuangzi. They were of a different breed.
It was too far away to eat them. If they were transported over, they would have died long ago.
His yacht was fast. He could transport the live hairy crabs by boat …
