There were a hundred households and six hundred and twenty people of all sizes.
The adults threw their weapons to the other people in the Zhechong Residence. Other than the children who were less than ten years old who had sweaters, the others were also given sweaters.
The younger children were carried in their arms and moved very slowly.
They were a burden to the Winged Knights. Otherwise, the Winged Knights could rush back before the New Year and have three horses each.
However, they were not willing to wait any longer. One wanted to live a good life, while the other wanted to have a bad New Year. How were they going to split the good things at home? They were all from the Zhechong Residence and were fighting together.
They might as well just leave and not look at the others.
"Will we be bullied when we get there?" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy rode a horse and tied his sister to his chest. He asked a Winged Knights loudly.
Half of his sister's face was exposed and her eyes looked around curiously.
"No one will bully you. They are all waiting for you. There are too few people who can fight in Zhuangzi. The villagers are worried that they will be robbed," the winged cavalry said with a smile.
"How much does it cost to go to school? My father said that he will give me a fistful of money to send me to the county school after the New Year. "
The boy asked again. Previously, he did not receive any news that he was going to move. Since there was no war, he was prepared to send him to school.
"It doesn't cost a single cent. When we get there, we will make new clothes. You can have milk and eggs in the morning and eat whatever you want in the afternoon and evening. There will be meat for every meal. Oh, the weather is cold now, so there will be vegetables for every meal."
"Does the Dongzhu beat people?"
"The Dongzhu does not beat children. However, if you are not good at your studies, the Dongzhu will teach your parents a way to beat children. Don't worry, it will only hurt. "
"My sister is a girl. Can I teach her when I am good at school? We agreed in the autumn that I will go to school next year and come back to teach her. "
"The girl is about five years old, right? We will go to school together. You don't have to teach her. "
"Do you have a lot of money for writing materials?"
"It's free. The Dongzhu will give it to you."
"Isn't the Dongzhu stupid? He will give you everything. "
"Yes, Dongzhu is stupid, and Li Yi is stupid."
"Xiao Gang, I heard what you said. I'll tell Li Dongzhu later and ask him to bring you out to play," one of the winged cavalry warriors said threateningly.
"Don't, Brother Lin. I didn't say anything." Little Gang shivered.
"Tell that to Dongzhu."
"Brother Lin, let me wash your clothes for you."
"Do you think I can be bought?"
"Twice."
"Deal."
Thus, it was harmonious again.
The young man and the soldiers beside him looked at each other. What had happened? Dongzhu was just fooling around. Why was he so scared?
The other soldiers in the group also asked about the situation in Zhuangzi.
The Winged Knights spoke the truth.
The soldiers couldn't believe it.
After arriving in Zhuangzi, they were directly given heavy armor and crossbows, as well as military horses. Did the imperial court not care?
The villagers lived in the buildings and didn't need to light fires. Sometimes, they had to open the windows to not be stuffy. Too hot?
During meals, they went to a place called the canteen. There were dozens of dishes, and there was never a lack of meat. In winter, they could eat cucumbers, celery, and eggplants as they wished?
The children would dress up and go to school. When they were sick, the Dongzhu would personally treat them. As long as they were still breathing, everything was fine?
Every month, they would be given a monthly allowance, but they couldn't spend it. There was nowhere to spend it, so they could only save it.
They worked for eight hours a day. The rest of the time, they rested, or learned how to read and calculate.
Clothes, shoes, and furniture for home use were all given to them without any consideration.
There was a big bathroom that they could bathe in every day. It wasn't cold at all.
One by one, the military households were scared when they heard this.
It was impossible. If not for the Winged Knights, they would have already planned to go back. They were afraid of being cheated. These people wanted to trick them into selling them.
"Battalion Commander Fan, tell me the truth. Do we have a way to survive if we go?" Wang Yimin urged his horse to the side of Battalion Commander Fan Fan's horse and stared into his eyes.
"I heard some things. You don't believe it, right?" Fan Fan asked with a smile.
"Who would dare to believe it? It's clearly a lie. He's just a Dongzhu. How can he make money to support us? "Wang Yimin explained with his own understanding.
"Money? Haha! Money, this thing … how do I put it? "Fan Fan chuckled.
He continued, "It's hard for you to make money. Li Dongzhu … he deliberately doesn't make a lot of money because he finds it troublesome.
But if you go, there will be a lot more women and children who can work. Li Dongzhu will probably come up with new things to make money. "
"Dongzhu has a business deal?" Wang Yimin thought. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make so much money from farming.
"Have you heard of soy sauce?"
"Three thousand a catty of soy sauce?"
"Three thousand here? Chang 'an two thousand, who earned the one thousand in the middle? "
"Battalion Commander Fan, have you eaten it before?"
"There was a period of time when I ate it every day. Then … don't mention it in front of me. Don't ever mention it."
Battalion Commander Fan Fan, who had a psychological shadow, didn't want to recall it. At the same time, he was somewhat proud that he had survived that time.
"Is it delicious?" Wang Yimin had never eaten soy sauce before.
"Don't think of it as three thousand a catty. It's worthless. It doesn't matter if you eat it or not."
"Then why are others still buying it?"
"Someone specially wrote poems and spread it in Pyong Kang Square." Fan Fan knew the reason. Everyone praised it together. Li Yi even limited the quantity.
"So you're saying that we, the military's Dongzhu, are rich?" Wang Yimin got the key information.
"Yes, it's us. Li Dongzhu is also our Winged Knights' Dongzhu. As long as he doesn't want to rebel, we are willing to help him."
Fan Fan smiled as he spoke. He recalled the days in Zhuangzi. It seemed that the hellish training wasn't that scary. Aiya, he shouldn't think about it.
***
"Have you finished buying?" Li Yi, who was on Zhuangzi, returned to the vegetable stall and asked.
Vegetables were afraid of freezing, so they had to be traded in an insulated environment.
The people who came over also brought winter clothes and other tools. When they returned, they had to send them to other people's residences or residences.
"Finished." Shopkeeper Liang nodded to Li Yi.
"Do you still want soy sauce? One thousand a catty. Ten thousand catties. Who wants it? "Li Yi suddenly became generous and reduced the price by half. Moreover, the supply was suddenly increased to ten thousand catties.
The usual fifty days' supply was released all at once.
The people who had previously discussed with others about buying soy sauce: "… …"
"Li Dongzhu, you can't, we just finished buying." The people who bought soy sauce were about to cry.
"Those who bought soy sauce before will get a free bottle of glycerin." Li Yi said.
"Li Dongzhu, we support you." The people who bought soy sauce smiled in the blink of an eye.
"Li Dongzhu, let's do it again. Let's sell it again." The people who didn't buy today made requests.
At this time, glycerin was the same as Li Yi's lipstick. People with status would be inferior if they didn't put some glycerin on their lips when they went out.
Using other oils was different. It was fine for a short period of time, but after two to four hours, everyone would be able to tell. Unless they continued to secretly apply other oils.
Raw soybean oil had a fishy smell, cooked soybean oil was dry, and the absorption rate of the lips was poor.
Sesame oil had a taste, and at the same time, it would coagulate on the lips.
Only glycerin was the most natural.
The crowd went to discuss again. Who wanted how much soy sauce? It was almost the New Year. Some people couldn't bear to eat it on normal days, but they still had to try it. Unless their economic conditions were too poor, then there was no choice.
One catty was sixteen taels. One tael could be sold for a hundred.
After the discussion, the distribution was done. The soy sauce was taken away first. If they didn't bring enough money, they would send it back later.
After they left, Li Yi asked the shopkeeper: "Have you prepared ten thousand catties of soy sauce for the palace?"
"It's been packed long ago. One catty of small jars, ten thousand of them. It's used to reward the officials." Song De replied.
At this time, he didn't feel bad about the soy sauce anymore. He would give it, especially to the palace.
How long had it been? So far, no one with a big background had come to cause trouble. Wasn't this the result of giving things away?
Soy sauce wasn't worth much, so he made another two hundred large jars.
"During the competition this afternoon, I told Big Brother that General Gao wouldn't be coming, so I could only ask Big Brother for help." Li Yi decided to make others happy this year.
At the same time, he would make more money. The farmers should be giving out bonuses. Even if they took the money, they had nowhere to spend it.
