It's hard to restrain the sorrow, but it still summons the Yulin Silk. The best general in the military, the best in the liberal arts. Cool storage houses, the busiest docks. In the past, they were not invited, but now they came to ask.
On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, twenty luxurious carriages carrying forty-one students set off.
They brought their own appointment documents, and no officials from the Ministry of Appointments sent them off.
The carriages were filled with copper, silk, pickled vegetables, fermented bean curd, toilet water, and some paper used as side paper.
The students' families did not accompany them, so they went to their posts themselves. It was not far anyway.
There were three days off every month, so the carriages would come early to pick them up and send them back after a night's stay.
The students' families hid in their houses and did not come out, afraid of crying.
"The officials from the Ministry of Appointments are wrong. The Organization Department should send them off at such a short distance." Li Yi criticized the Ministry of Appointments.
The people in the Political Affairs Hall had different expressions when they heard the news.
Yao Chong was happy. "They're finally going to do something for the country. I have high hopes for them."
"I don't think they'll be able to do anything. They've just entered the bureaucracy and are not familiar with government affairs." Lu Huaishen had another opinion.
Zhang Shuo waved his fan. "I'm not worried about that. If there's trouble, Li Yi will take care of it."
When it came to Li Yi, the conversation could not continue.
Li Longji, who was sitting in Xingqing Hall, was still in high spirits after he finished reading a stack of memorials.
He asked Gao Lishi, "Today is the day the officials from the 20 counties of the capital take up their posts?"
"Yes, they've probably left early in the morning. They can reach the furthest counties before nightfall." Gao Lishi replied.
"I can't count on the imperial relatives. They have no administrative ability at all. They didn't collect a single cent from the promised business tax."
Li Longji was angry. He thought that those people would be able to do something.
In the end, they were deceived by their subordinates, and the imperial relatives who were keeping an eye on them took the opportunity to impeach them.
It was a mess.
What was even more infuriating was that the county officials pushed some of the old debts to the imperial relatives.
Li Longji did not know what to say about the imperial relatives who fell into the trap.
He really wanted to capture all the officials of the twenty counties and behead them, but he knew that it was useless. Even if he killed one batch, there would be another batch.
Gao Lishi listened from the side and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it's not that they're incompetent, it's just that they know the severity of the business tax. They would rather suffer a little loss. "
"Mm!" Li Longji fell silent.
Then, he felt sad. He wanted to pull in a wave of people and fight a wave of people, but in the end, those people were timid.
"How's the Winged Knights?" Li Longji thought about how many people were disobedient and wanted to use force.
"Thirty thousand men have been gathered and are currently training in the Forbidden Garden. Of the ninety thousand horses, only fifty-five thousand and three hundred have arrived. The rest are on their way."
Gao Lishi was very concerned about this matter and would always ask about it.
"How's Li Yi's choice of Guo Ziyi?" Li Longji thought of someone.
Back then, Li Yi had specifically mentioned a person in the martial arts examination outside the examination hall. Someone else had gone over to keep an eye on him.
In the end, they found that he was very good at everything and surpassed many people by a large margin. They evaluated him as an abnormal grade, an extra grade above A grade.
"He's trained well and eager to learn. He'll borrow some of the military books and maps in the palace after he's read some.
If not for the fact that he's training the emperor's private soldiers, he would have gone to the other old generals to ask for guidance on military tactics.
He's an individual and passed down the techniques of using various weapons. The training is very fierce.
Although he's not as good as Li Yi, he's still able to make the Non-commissioned Officer complain. If not for the good food, the Non-commissioned Officer wouldn't have been able to persevere. "
"Good, Brother Yi has chosen good people for me. If not for Brother Yi training the Non-commissioned Officer himself, I would have sent someone else to train him."
Li Longji was very regretful. The soldiers trained by Li Yi had strong willpower, sufficient stamina, and quick reactions.
Gao Lishi comforted him again, "Send them out to guard the caravan. With actual combat experience, I believe they'll improve very quickly."
"Yes, send them out. If they die or are injured, compensate them and recruit new people. No, recruit now. Recruit three thousand more and train them together."
Li Longji instructed.
The common people didn't know about the matters of the imperial court and didn't understand the game within.
There used to be no screens. Now, as long as there were windows and doors, they would buy them or make them themselves.
The screen on the door didn't have a pivot. It was a curtain that hung down.
The common people improved it themselves. It was also woven with hemp. The edges were all locked with scraps of cloth. The bottom was stuck to the ground and hung with a piece of bamboo or a piece of wood.
The advantage was that it saved them the trouble of installing the pivot. The disadvantage was that they had to push it with their hands. If they pushed too much, the hemp thread would jump out.
Even so, they could open the windows during the day and night. They weren't afraid of mosquitoes and flies.
The main problem was the mosquitoes at night. Some mosquitoes were accidentally brought in. They would be swatted away before going to sleep.
Among the common people, the people who changed the most were the porters working at the docks.
A few days ago, they had a full set of clothes. Yesterday, they also wore new shoes.
The cloth shoes were made of pig skin with many holes. They looked beautiful and stable when they wore them.
The pig skin shoes were resistant to ships. When things scraped against them, they wouldn't scratch the instep.
A pair of shoes made of pig skin wasn't cheap.
If it wasn't for the fact that they weren't allowed to bring them home after work, they really wanted to wear them home.
When they drank water, there was hot soup and cold water with salt at the side. They could drink it together. It wasn't hot and it was refreshing.
When they ate, they didn't need to pay for pickled vegetables. However, they weren't pickled with sauce anymore.
As long as they brought their own food, it was cheaper than buying it.
The porters were grateful to the three Yi Alliances. The number of customers of the three Yi Alliances increased.
Those who didn't want to join the Alliance were working hard to apply. When they were invited, they rejected it. The Alliance wanted to collect fees.
They felt that they earned money by making clothes with their own ability, so why should they pay them?
Especially when there were some rules in the Alliance that made them angry.
For example, when the Alliance asked the clothing stores in the Alliance to make a certain type of clothes, the stores would only pay the cost.
At the same time, they had to put down all other work and make the clothes that the Alliance requested.
Also, when the Alliance asked them to reject a big customer, all the members of the Alliance couldn't accept it.
There were many restrictions. Some stores didn't want to do it.
Now, they regretted it. The Yi Alliance worked together to bargain with the cloth merchants. If they didn't lower the price, no one would buy it.
The cloth merchants had no choice but to lower the price. All the members of the Alliance reported their demand for the cloth.
When they bought it, they realized that it was 10% cheaper than before.
What was even more confusing was that the sailors needed new clothes made of canvas.
The Alliance only stopped for one night. The 100 sailors requested that the clothes be ready when the boat set sail tomorrow morning. They could be given extra wages.
The individual clothing stores saw the business in front of them, but they couldn't accept it.
The Yi Alliance took it and distributed it. Everyone worked overtime at night. When it was done, they would send it over in the morning and earn money.
As long as it was a big deal, the Alliance wouldn't touch the individual stores.
If they needed anything, they would find a Yi Alliance and everything would be solved.
Seeing that the price of the goods was higher than their peers, they couldn't make any money.
Don't think about it. Quickly choose one to join.
Apply, fill in the form, pay the deposit, wait for the review, and give a reply within half a month.
At the same time, they told them that even if they passed, they had to take care of the shops that joined first.
The conditions were harsh. The clothing stores accepted it.
