Li Yi and a group of beauties were adjusting their musical instruments. With the foundation of military musical instruments, they quickly picked up the new songs.
As they said, they represented height. Whatever they sang, others would follow.
The only place that could compete with them was the Pear Garden. They had to interact with each other in the Pear Garden.
Li Longji, who had left, sat in the car with a gloomy face. Empress Wang pouted.
Both of them were in a bad mood.
"As one of the Tang Dynasty Emperors, I can only watch a young man run around." Li Longji expressed the grievances in his heart.
Empress Wang rolled her eyes. "San Lang, if what uncle said is true, they're going to choose people now and get ready to replace them at any time.
When things calm down, they'll be dismissed and investigated. Whatever they took, they'll be spat out with interest. "
Li Longji turned his head. In his eyes, Empress Wang had become the figure who advised him to break into the palace that night.
At that time, he wanted to retreat. It was this figure who gave him advice and supported him firmly.
Later, when he became the crown prince, this figure helped him stabilize the harem in the East Palace.
When he became the emperor, he stabilized the harem. He looked so amiable.
At this moment, the two figures overlapped. Li Yi hadn't made a move yet, but this side was already thinking about settling the score.
"Okay!" Li Longji's mood improved a lot.
He had thought it through. The Great Tang lacked many things, but it didn't lack officials.
"Let's go to the East Market." Li Longji didn't want to go back to the palace. He wanted to find a lively place.
The car went straight ahead and entered the Chunming Gate. After passing by Xingqing Palace, they arrived at the East Market.
As soon as they arrived, they heard cheers.
"There's water. There's another well. It's very deep. Hurry up and push the dirty water out. The water from the previous well is sweeter than the original one."
Hearing the crowd's shouts, Li Longji smiled again. "As Brother Yi said, dirty things will seep into the well from the cesspool."
"In the future, we should dig a few wells in each workshop." Empress Wang expressed her support.
"Yes, Ti's well is very dangerous. If a child falls in and is discovered too late, he will lose his life."
Li Longji thought of the well that Zhuangzi had prepared for the children.
Daren is not afraid, if there is a winch, the bucket will be in the well. If Daren falls down, there is a rope and a bucket. If Daren pulls the rope with all his strength, he will get stuck.
The rope of the pulley was not long, just long enough for the bucket to go under the water.
Wells that did not use pulleys had manhole covers. If a child wanted to help an adult work, it was easy for him to fall into them at every step.
In the past, they were used to it. Without pressure wells, everyone felt that it was normal.
Now that he had something new and compared it, he realized that the sealed well was better.
For places that were frozen in winter, they only needed a piece of iron pipe. For places that were not frozen, they would use bamboo.
When the car was some distance away from the front, it stopped, and a large drilling rack was moved over there.
Shouting slogans, a group of men moved the shelf to the next place where drilling was to be done.
Otherwise, it could only be dismantled and reassembled.
"When the drilling tools in the palace are finished, all the other wells in the palace … should be filled."
When Empress Wang mentioned the well in the palace, her expression was not very good.
Every year in the palace, there were eunuchs and palace maids who 'accidentally' fell into the well and died.
Thinking of this, she touched her bulging belly and smiled again.
Without a child, her control over the harem was weakened. When the child was born, she was ready to make a move on the harem.
To make it clear, who was the boss of the harem?
As the big shelf was moved away, more people gathered around, and the strong ones pressed the well with all their strength.
The front and bottom of the well arm was connected to a bamboo board, which moved as the arm moved up and down.
This was used to prevent people from accidentally reaching their hands over and crushing it, especially when someone was pressing it, and the child was standing next to them.
The child's hand would naturally touch the big belly of the well. As he touched it, he would touch the place where it was connected.
The water that flowed out was still muddy. In front of them, people continued to dig trenches to lead the water to the pond in the east market.
In the future, a small canal would be built here with stones, and there would also be a groove at the position of the well.
The Shu salt merchants who were negotiating continued to watch. In their eyes, what was left was brine, and it would become salt after being boiled.
The Shu salt merchants already knew that the biggest salt wells would be owned by the higher-ups.
But they were not afraid. Everyone relied on their own abilities. Standing on the ground, how could they know if there was brine or gas below?
The emperor could not occupy all the places. At most, he could only occupy a small part. The other areas were believed to be no worse than the places occupied by the emperor.
"Look at the salt merchants' excited faces. They want to snatch the good places from me, haha!"
Li Longji saw a group of happy people through the window and said with a smile.
"Uncle has divided more than 100 small places. He said that there are four places with brine and gas, twelve with gas, and the rest are brine."
Empress Wang also smiled. She believed that if Li Yi said there were places, there must be places. There was no need to ask the reason.
What she did not know was that in order to find places, Li Yi checked a lot of county records, especially those in Zigong.
The specific location in Zigong could be directly matched. The other places had a range because the terrain changed in the Tang dynasty and later.
The location chosen was the kind with a large storage capacity and not particularly deep.
The one more than 1,000 meters deep was not needed for the time being. Whoever wanted to drill could drill by themselves.
"It's clear, it's clear. A few more times. Let me have a taste. Is it sweet?" Someone stood there and shouted.
Others took bowls and waited for the water to look completely clear. They reached over and took half a bowl and drank it.
The weather was still cold. When the well water came up, it was cold and bone-chilling.
The people who drank it did not care.
"Sweet!" "Delicious!" "We will drink this water in the future." "Let me have a taste."
"From now on, this well will be called Li Yi Well." Li Longji gave a name.
In the future, as long as someone dug a well, they would say Li Yi's name.
This was what Li Yi deserved. He took out good technology.
The people had one more choice to get water, especially in places with deep water. It was relatively easy to drill a well.
What was the use of a well when drinking water by the river?
"Let's go back." Li Longji was happy. He wanted to go back to work.
The people in the eastern market lined up to get water. They seemed to think that drinking a mouthful of water would bring them good fortune.
The Minister of Works, Wei Zhigu, saw Li Longji's carriage in the crowd, but he did not go forward.
He took a bowl and lined up. After taking half a bowl, he walked out of the crowd and looked at the sky.
"Li Yi has saved countless lives. When there is a drought, he will dig wells one by one. He will always be able to get water."
He sighed. After drinking a mouthful of cold water, he shivered and sighed.
He muttered, "This year, King Song will take care of all the work for the wells. He will also look for craftsmen in other places. Wherever there is a need for wells, the craftsmen in the area will be pulled into his alliance."
He realized that he understood. It was not easy to take the emperor's money, so he took it out and gave it to King Song.
King Song will groom many skilled craftsmen to take over the work of digging wells in other places. The profits will go to King Song.
"I wonder if Li Yi will be able to get a share of the money from the alliance?" Wei Zhigu muttered.
