"Ask the monks and Taoists to buy kerosene lamps and thermos bottles? Okay, I can use them after buying them. I have some at home. It's convenient. "
Yu Huaide was drinking tea in a teahouse. The tea was not good, not as good as Li Family Zhuangzi's.
However, he was willing to wander around outside with a group of people to see what industries he could invest in.
Or, he could first understand the situation and wait for Li Yi to hold a cooperation meeting. He would then ask for money immediately.
"That young man, when did he say that he was buying things?"
An old man who was drinking tea was reading the newspaper with a pair of reading glasses. He didn't see what Yu Huaide said.
"Old man, you read the newspaper too?" Yu Huaide was curious.
"I studied for a few days, but something happened at home, so I stopped going to school. Alas, it's all in the past. "
The old man shook his head, as if he didn't want to recall the past.
Yu Huaide nodded. "The newspaper is hinting, but it's not much different from an explicit statement. On one hand, they are helping the soldiers at the border, and on the other hand, they are sending things to the temples. The temples have so much money, why send them?"
"Is that so?" The old man was enlightened.
"Li Dongzhu is a good person. He helped the monks and Taoists avoid disaster.
Otherwise, even if the newspaper doesn't mention how much money the temples have, someone will spread the news.
At that time, there were strong people who might not be able to touch the temples in Chang 'an and Luoyang, but the temples in other places would be targeted.
After buying things, whoever snatches the thermos bottle can use it themselves. The kerosene lamp has no oil, so it's useless. "
Another old man spoke up and analyzed from another angle.
"That makes sense." Yu Huaide knew how to spend money to avoid disaster. Life had taught him this, such as Li Family Zhuangzi.
Shopkeeper Feng put down his teacup. "They bought some to light up the temples at night. Others don't know how much money they have."
"Others will know when they go in and search," another customer said.
"Change it to coupons. It's easy to hide," Shopkeeper Song said with a smile.
A few people looked at his clothes, as if trying to see through and see how much money he had.
Shopkeeper Song didn't care and continued smiling. "I have a lot of money. I have at least a thousand taels with me. I earned it all from my partnership with Li Dongzhu."
The people who wanted to see through him turned around. they were just looking. When they heard that the other party was working with Li Dongzhu and knew who it was, they knew that they had no plans.
…
When it was time for lunch, everyone discussed it again, and the matter became clear.
It did not matter how the monasteries got their money. In any case, they were rich.
Li Dongzhu made them spend money to buy things, and Li Dongzhu earned the money for the people. They had kerosene lamps and thermos bottles to use.
This was to protect them. It wouldn't be good for them to be targeted when they had money. They were afraid that their remaining things would be stolen, so they quickly exchanged them for exchange certificates.
It would be best not to keep the coupons in his own hands and hand them over to the authorities for safekeeping.
In this way, no one would snatch the kerosene lamp and thermos bottle. They couldn't exchange them for money, but they would definitely be caught if they sold them.
When the news spread, even the monks and Daoists didn't know about it, right? That sounded reasonable.
It was impossible to hide such a big matter. Once others found out, it would be troublesome!
Then … buy a portion? Should I exchange the remaining items for exchange coupons and find a place to hide them?
If he were to give it to the authorities … he might as well give it to the Li Family Zhuangzi for safekeeping. He wasn't sure what they would do if they were too far away, but Zhuangzi was right next to Luoyang.
Thinking about it, Li Yi was a man of his word. He would do whatever he said. He wasn't really short on money.
When Sima Chengzhen received the news, he, Ye Fashan and Shan Wuwei looked at each other.
"Is it really like what they said?" Sima Chengzhen asked the two of them.
The two of them were at a loss. Only the heavens knew. Protection?
"I'll go ask Li Yi where to eat." Sima Chengzhen hurriedly left.
Ye Fashan looked at Shan Wuwei, "Let's eat. Today, we'll be eating pig slaughtered vegetables, pickled vegetables. After cooking for a long time, it won't be sour. Eat less fatty meat. Most of the meat sent over is lean, and the blood sausages are tender."
Shan Wuwei picked up a piece of ginger and chewed, "The timing of the ginger is good. The blood sausages should be put in later. If the blood is let out first, it will be boiled. The skin of the intestines is too old to chew."
"Dip it in garlic sauce. There isn't much salt in the soup. It's too bland, but it's more convenient to drink soup."
Ye Fashan first dipped the soup into a plate and diluted the soy sauce. He then picked up some meat and pickled vegetables to dip it in.
Sima Chengzhen walked around and found Li Yi.
Li Yi held the soup bowl and drank, "You can't put too much salt. The soup doesn't look salty, but it's not good for the body if there's too much salt."
He explained the reason first, and then drank.
Sima Chengzhen came in, "Doctor Li, you asked them to buy kerosene lamps to protect them from being robbed?"
"Pfft ~ ~ Cough cough …"
Li Yi spat out a mouthful of soup and coughed. Fortunately, he lowered his head at the last moment.
The others who were eating: "…"
"Yes, cough cough cough! It's protection. Aiya! Cough! Protection. "
Li Yi could finally speak. He choked and was not prepared at all.
Sima Chengzhen widened his eyes and looked at Li Yi suspiciously, "Really?"
"Really!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Then why did you choke?"
"I don't want others to know my good intentions, but you found out. It's too shocking."
"Your explanation makes sense." Sima Chengzhen nodded. Alright, I'll listen carefully.
"How did you know?" Li Yi was really shocked. Who made up the story? Amazing!
"It's spread throughout Luoyang Palace." Sima Chengzhen was helpless.
"Oh! There's no lack of wise people in the world. Come, Spiritual Master Si, let's eat together. "
Li Yi nodded slowly and invited him to eat.
Sima Chengzhen found a chair and said, "My surname is Sima."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember. There's this surname, and there's also Si Hu, Si Cang, Si …"
"Si Hu and Si Cang are official positions. Doctor Li, don't joke about other people's surnames."
Sima Chengzhen reacted. Do you still need me to teach you?
"It's okay. You can joke about mine. I don't care."
Li Yi took the cutlery from the palace maid and placed it on Sima Chengzhen's plate.
"Your surname … your surname is good, good!"
Sima Chengzhen wanted to make a joke but suddenly realized that Li was the imperial surname.
Joking about the surname Li? What a joke!
Bi Goo grinned. "I've watched Xiao Yi grow up. She's always been helpful. I don't believe you. Look at my teeth. They're white and neat. Xiao Yi tidied them up."
"Xiao Yi's actions this time also deceived me. But think about Xiao Yi. She's worried about other people's houses leaking, so she built a high-rise and gave them furniture. It's understandable. "
Lu Huaishen agreed. Bi Goo was right. Xiao Yi was a good person.
"Gang Rou always cares about others silently. She's afraid that other people's roads will be difficult. She builds roads in my name, but the money is paid by Gang Rou."
Zhang Jiuling didn't want to fall behind and mentioned building roads.
Sima Chengzhen looked around and admitted that the others weren't lying.
Two of his teeth were also mended by Li Yi. After mending them, they were the same as the original teeth. He didn't ask for money.
He sighed. "Doctor Li cares about the people of the world."
"It's not that great. It's just that when I see the people living a hard life, I'll help if I can. The ministers are the pillars of the country. Spiritual Master Sima preaches and educates the people."
Li Yi took the credit first and then praised others.
Everyone would be happy if they praised each other.
