Li Yi had a satisfying meal of pig slaughtered dishes. In the afternoon, he hummed a tune as he made ward rounds. He did not wear a mask and smiled at everyone he saw.
There was a baby with acute pneumonia who was on an intravenous drip with a bitter face. He wanted to cough but could not.
Li Yi smiled. The baby grinned when he saw it. As he smiled, he began to cough. After coughing out two mouthfuls of phlegm, his smile became even brighter.
Li Yi looked at the medical record. "Acute pneumonia?"
He touched his mouth and quickly took out a mask to wear. He would not be passed on now, would he? He would take medicine when he went back.
The monks and Taoists outside were anxious to think of a solution. No matter what it was, they were all emotionally stable.
The rumors made sense. At least they were not embarrassed.
Did Li Yi say how many kerosene lamps to buy? Then, would Li Yi eat an extra meal or drink an extra mouthful of wine when he got the money?
They gathered into small groups and discussed how many kerosene lamps and thermos bottles to buy.
With a thermos bottle in winter, they did not have to worry about not being able to drink hot water.
Sima Chengzhen found Ye Fashan and Wang Wuwei and told them the truth. "Is it true?"
Ye Fashan nodded. "Yes!"
Shan Wuwei nodded as well. "It's not false at all!"
Sima Chengzhen heaved a sigh of relief.
It did not matter whether it was true or false before. After the news spread, the false was also true. If the result was true, then it was true.
"Xiao Yi said that when the false is true, the true is false. Where there is nothing, there is nothing. The depth of this realm is admirable. "
Ye Fashan mentioned that Li Yi copied Cao Xueqin's sentence. He appreciated it.
"Yes!" Sima Chengzhen was very cultured in literature. He had to admit that Li Yi said it well.
In fact, the people he interacted with were all well-versed in literature.
"I'll talk to them about buying." Sima Chengzhen was willing to make a trip and settle the matter quickly.
"Ask them to donate a sum of money, starting from 10,000 yuan, to the soldiers at the border."
Ye Fashan reminded him not to just buy. Donating was the foundation.
"Okay!" Sima Chengzhen answered and went out. After donating money, who would dare to touch it?
Rumor had it that Li Yi had protected them, and they had forked out money for the officers and soldiers. If they wanted to rob them, there was no moral reason.
With Sima Chengzhen's help, the monks and Daoists all agreed. They discussed and agreed that the remaining half of the money from the Henan temple would be used to buy things and donate.
In the end, he exchanged a quarter of the total amount with Li Yi for exchange coupons and deposited them in the Li Family Zhuangzi. He would collect them when he needed them.
The temples and monasteries of the capital government directly took half of the money to buy things and donate. The other half was also deposited in the Li Family Zhuangzi. It was too dangerous to keep the money in their hands.
They were quite helpless. In terms of money, who could compare to Li Yi? Why didn't anyone think of snatching it?
Everyone asked Sima Chengzhen to help them ask Li Yi if it would work. There was no point in discussing it on his own. He needed Li Yi's approval.
In the evening, they continued to eat Pig Slaughtered Dishes. Reheated Pig Slaughtered Dishes were more fragrant than freshly cooked dishes.
Sima Chengzhen rushed back just in time. This time, he would observe first and not let Li Yi choke again.
Seeing that Li Yi did not drink the soup, very good!
"Doctor Li, they said …" Sima Chengzhen repeated the situation.
"I didn't expect the Buddhists of the Tang dynasty to be so righteous. They didn't fight, but they were willing to pay for the killing.
Sure enough, if you have the people in your heart, you have Buddha in your heart and Dao in your heart.
The Dao heart and Buddha nature should illuminate the world and not be extinguished for a long time.
In the future, the kerosene lamp oil they use will be provided by the Li Family Zhuangzi monthly. "
Li Yi said sincerely. They donated so much and provided the kerosene lamp oil for free according to the amount of kerosene lamp that could be lit in one night.
In the future, diesel and kerosene would become cheaper and cheaper. Let's put it this way. The money donated was used to lend money at low interest rates. The interest was enough to buy kerosene lamp oil.
Sima Chengzhen continued to listen seriously. At least the kerosene was really given.
He asked about the second matter, "Convert the remaining things into money and deposit it in the Li Family Zhuangzi?"
"Easy. I brought them to invest and earn money. They would let people donate money for kerosene lamp oil and buy land to rent out, helping others to use land for free.
This is not good. I can earn money with my own ability and benefit the people. I can also pay taxes.
Don't worry, I won't lose money. Which one of my business partners isn't rich? "
Li Yi promised to deposit it in the Zhuangzi and took the initiative to bring the people of the temple to invest.
"Are you sure you won't lose money?" Sima Chengzhen was worried.
"If I lose money, it's on me. If I make a profit, we'll split it in half. I'll pay taxes first. After that, we'll split it in half."
Li Yi was addicted to the two-for-five business model, which was to break even and split profits.
Sima Chengzhen agreed that the extra money was earned. It was fine as long as the savings were not small.
He was in a hurry to tell others. He looked at the pig-slaughtered dish and smacked his lips.
"There's still more in the Zhuangzi. Bring 3,000 people's share and ask someone to send it over."
Li Yi decided to treat. It was normal to treat people to a meal when they put real money in them and let them invest.
"I'm afraid it's not enough." Sima Chengzhen knew that there were many monks and Taoists.
"Let's give it to some people who can speak first. Tomorrow, all the monks and Taoists will eat the pig-slaughtered dish. Those who don't eat meat will eat pickled vegetables."
Li Yi did not want to make the villagers busy now. He guessed that others were also eating. It was fine to bring them over to eat a little.
Sima Chengzhen happily agreed again. Li Yi was really good to people.
He went out and everyone looked at Li Yi.
"Everyone, eat. It's cold." Li Yi stopped with his chopsticks.
When others started eating, Bi Goo hesitated and gritted his teeth. "Xiao Yi, the kerosene lamp and thermos bottle you sold …"
"Didn't you donate money? The money donated to the soldiers will be credited to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will have a share of military expenditure left. "
Li Yi did not wait for Bi Goo to say the truth and mentioned the donation.
"That … that's them …"
"If I don't protect them, can they donate money? If they donate money, I give them the lamp oil for free. Isn't the lamp oil money? "
"Eat." Bi Goo was sure that Xiao Yi would not pay taxes.
Everyone ate a few mouthfuls. Li Longji waited for Li Yi to stop and asked, "Let them invest and earn money?"
"Their money is wasted. If I teach them new ways to manage accounts, they will keep an eye on the business.
They are smart and learn things quickly. With them in charge, I don't have to worry.
When they get used to it, it will be difficult for them to make progress in their own studies.
What's that saying again? Oh! If they fail to obtain the scriptures, they can still go back to Gao Village. "
Li Yi laughed after he finished speaking. Other people can study Buddhism and Taoism and return to secular life.
Anyway, you are doing business with me. You provide the manpower.
It doesn't matter what identity you have, as long as you are used by me.
Yao Chong looked deeply at Li Yi for a while. "Good plan! Are we still eating the pig-slaughtered dish tomorrow? "
He was a little scared. Luckily, Li Yi did not pay attention to him.
"Old Yao, if you are willing to eat, I will leave some for you. Tomorrow, we will eat pig's head meat, pig's trotters, pig's legs, internal organs, and ribs. We will make a lot of dishes."
Li Yi planned to treat a large group of people to the pig-slaughtered dish. The rest could only be digested in Zhuangzi.
"Li Lang, the braised pig's tail is delicious." Princess Yongmu saw that Li Yi did not mention the pig's tail and reminded him.
A pig could produce a lot of braised meat, but it could only produce a tail.
"Yes, of course." Li Yi promised.
Everyone ate in peace. Today's harvest was great. The main reason was that they passed the test in their hearts. If the monks and Taoists did not donate money, there would always be a grudge.
