"San Lang, San Lang, look. Uncle took advantage of our absence and secretly copied other people's poems. There's also a song, A Laugh in the Vast Sea. "
Empress Wang took the information and acted like a spoiled child to Li Longji.
The news came from outside the city walls, and the city gates were already closed.
The manor also knew that there were people in Zhuangzi, and they were the Qianniu Guards from the palace, but they didn't care.
In fact, when the Qianniu Guards were hungry, they would even go to the cafeteria to eat without paying a single cent.
The villagers were already used to it. Look, Zhuangzi was like this, and we Dongzhu were also like this. As long as you don't make a move, we won't make a move.
Today was the thirtieth day. The Qianniu Guards tied their horses to the side and found a place to sit down, eat, and watch the program.
He even fed Zhuangzi's horses with the best ingredients. Then, once he got some news, he would go out and ride three horses.
The person who was watching was direct, while the person who was being watched didn't care. Both sides were actually very harmonious.
The villager had no choice. Previously, he did not understand the situation. Later on, he found out that it was the Thousand Bull Guards who were directly connected to the palace. He could not fight or kill them.
Then, he saw that the people of the Qianniu Guard were working very hard. Sometimes, when it wasn't time to eat, he would give them hot soup to drink and take care of the horses.
What else could he do? Arrest him?
Zhuangzi had the ability to do so.
He had the ability to capture them, but he lacked the ability to deal with them later on.
The people of the Qianniu Guard were sensible and never made any extra requests. They just wanted to have a meal and ask the people in Zhuangzi for food to feed the horses.
Above them was the Imperial Plantation, but they didn't go there to ask for anything.
Therefore, when the Qianniu Guards watched the show, a few of them would leave from time to time. After a while, they would return and occupy the table to eat hotpot and barbecue.
Fortunately, he didn't drink alcohol. When he was offered alcohol, he would reject it. When he ate, he felt that he was only half full. He liked to drink soup.
Just like that, the news reached the palace.
Empress Wang had slept for a long time. She was waiting for the fireworks to be released in the evening so that she could bring her son to watch it together.
Now that he was unhappy, he actually didn't participate in such a fun thing.
"Hahaha …" Li Longji laughed.
"San Lang, look at your uncle. With a laugh from the vast sea, the tide surges on both shores. There was also something about how the heroes of the world are born from our generation, and how time passes as soon as you enter Jianghu. Later on, there were actually tears in the ocean, moon, and pearls. It's outrageous, isn't it? "
Empress Wang was still troubled by this matter. If she didn't go over, her uncle should stay put.
"This tactical response is indeed fast. As long as the road is clear, Zhuangzi will move out as fast as the emergency report. It's a rapid response strike force."
Li Longji was looking at another matter. As for poetry, singing and dancing, even though he had created the Pear Garden, he would not give too much power to those who were outstanding in those areas.
In his eyes, four of the Winged Knights who were in relatively good condition had rushed out from twenty miles away to report the situation to him.
As soon as he arrived and shouted, Zhuangzi immediately took action.
After Li Yi finished dealing with the horses, Zhuangzi's team set off. They were loaded with materials, hot water, cold water, food, and most importantly, an ambulance.
The faster the horses ran, the faster the reinforcements came. At the same time, there was no lack of scouts coming and going.
"Yourong." Li Longji suddenly called out Empress Wang's name.
He continued, "Last year in the tenth month, Brother Yi came to Zhuangzi to inherit the business. This year on the thirtieth, including the leap month, in fifteen months, Zhuangzi's rescue teams moved out like the wind.
Today, there are another hundred soldiers who have fought with the enemy. What do you think will happen to Brother Yi next year? "
Li Longji asked Empress Wang. Empress Wang came from a family of generals, so she was the most sensitive in this aspect.
Empress Wang rubbed her stomach, "What else can happen? It won't take a year. In the summer, the hundred soldiers will be organized. Uncle will buy more good horses and build more carriages. He alone will be able to provide logistical support for the three thousand Non-commissioned Officer."
Empress Wang understood that the more manpower Li Yi had, the more powerful Li Yi would be.
Last year, there was nothing. It was very difficult.
Today was different. In a year, who knew what Li Yi would do.
After thinking about it carefully, she understood that it was a militarized management.
When Twenty Li went to the capital office to pick up someone, there would be scouts everywhere. It was definitely an imitation of the situation of Baggage's troops on the frontlines during wartime.
Once the main force of the hundred soldiers had adapted, they would be able to form their own army.
Who would dare to underestimate this army? With money, they would equip each person with a crossbow, or even two.
"So after the New Year, when we go to Zhuangzi again, we will be more at ease." Li Longji didn't want to talk about war. He felt that he couldn't let Li Yi go to war, even if Li Yi's logistical support was very powerful.
Whose Zhuangzi could mobilize more than a hundred carriages? What a joke.
"At night, there will definitely be a lot of fireworks." Empress Wang didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to play.
If Li Longji was in trouble at the Imperial Court, she might be willing to help.
But there was no problem now. If there was anything, she could ask Li Yi.
The distance between the two sides wasn't far. If they went out from the forbidden garden, it would only be a little more than fourteen li.
"I, Gao Lishi, go out and ask him for more." Li Longji had no choice but to go around. Gao Lishi went out from the back and asked Li Yi for fireworks to satisfy the Empress's mood.
"A fifth-rank official is still too small. The Imperial Tutor is still okay." Empress Wang touched her belly. The Imperial Tutor was the child in her belly.
There had to be a teacher. Other teachers wouldn't be at ease. What if they did something bad?
Either the child was by her side or thrown to Li Yi.
When the child was born, he would have to be careful when eating by her side. There was no need to worry about him with Li Yi.
Li Longji frowned and said, "When the child is born, the weather will be warm. It's better to go often. Even if someone poisoned him, Brother Yi can cure it."
He actually admitted the possibility of someone poisoning him. He didn't think that no one would dare to plot against the child of the Empress because he was the Emperor.
But Li Longji agreed in his heart. As long as the child was still breathing, he would be able to live if he was sent to Li Yi.
Then Gao Lishi, who was already very busy, had to bring people out and ask Li Yi for more fireworks.
***
Li Yi in Zhuangzi watched the performance on the stage and asked Steward Song De, who was next to him, "Have the livestock been dealt with?"
"Recently, firecrackers have been set off at a time every day. The livestock have gotten used to it." Song De explained the situation.
He was the happiest now. Dongzhu suddenly became a fifth-rank official.
A fifth-rank official also had a position in Chang 'an City and could participate in the imperial court meeting.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Ask them at night if they want to eat boiled dumplings. The kitchen will cook them first and then send them over."
Li Yi talked about food again. The South had rice cakes for Chinese New Year and the North had dumplings for Chinese New Year.
However, dumplings could be eaten for every meal. If one ate too many rice cakes, their stomach would not be able to take it.
In the South, rice cakes were never eaten at night on the eve of the Thirties. They were eaten to taste, and then there was the same kind of glutinous rice baked over fire.
He remembered that it was eaten in Shandong and the Northeast. It was sticky with fire. If one ate too much, their stomach would also feel uncomfortable. Oh, it was the same for the Xianzu's baked cakes.
Dumplings were filled with white flour. If there were vegetables and meat, then it would be a complete set of dietary rules. The nutrition was balanced.
A single food combination would be dumplings, shumai, wonton, meat bird's nest, or noodles with more sauce and braising.
Rice cakes were the same as baked cakes. It was good to eat as a snack. If one ate a few pieces in a row, it would cause indigestion.
Song De would not compare the different eating habits of different regions, but he knew that his family used to be from the South. Later on, they all died, and he ran to Capital City to survive.
"Dongzhu, do you want to make fried rice cakes? I will, "he said.
"Yes, eat it as a snack. You can also fry rice cakes. Children are not allowed to eat too much. It's not good for digestion." Li Yi agreed. He also liked fried rice cakes.
Especially those rice cakes that were fried slowly in low-temperature oil. They were crispy and soft on the inside.
As for fried rice cakes, there was no such thing in the Tang dynasty. They were fried with meat. The rich people used sesame oil to fry them.
This year, there was soybean oil, but there were more fried rice cakes. He did not know the essence of frying. Frying required things to float in the oil.
"Dongzhu, are you going to give out bonuses? Also, there are people who like other people. Men like women, and women like men. What should we do? "
Song De asked two more questions.
"For example, the single Hu Erniang, right?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
Song De blushed: "Dongzhu, you, how do you know?"
"Marriage is a grand ceremony. It includes hiring servants, new things, and a separate house. If you don't live in a building, you can build a courtyard next to my house."
Li Yi said seriously to Song De. He did not have any intention of teasing or joking.
Song De was not young anymore. He should have a home.
