The two eunuchs rubbed their wrists when they finished writing about growing radishes.
Empress Wang gave the eunuchs and the eunuchs a pot with a chicken in it. The four of them looked at Li Longji.
Although they were in charge of the imperial harem and Gao Lishi's power was not as great as Empress Wang's, the emperor was here.
"Eat. Sister-in-law gave it to you." Li Yi ordered. I'm Dongzhu. Why are you looking at others in Zhuangzi?
The four of them were indeed hungry. They first filled a small bowl with chicken soup and then used chopsticks to dig out the soft meat.
"Brother Yi, are the things you mentioned worthless at the seaside?" Li Chengqi was concerned.
"Yes, especially the oysters and the sea … They look like Kunpo but are different. They are one inch wide and a few feet long. The edges are like centipede legs."
"Both of them can be dried in the sun or in the shade. I'll draw a picture. You will know after you see it."
Li Yi felt that it was too troublesome to explain, so he directly used a brush to draw the oysters with and without the shell.
He also did not know the name of the sea cabbage now.
"Uncle, is it delicious?" Empress Wang looked at the picture and asked about the taste.
"It's delicious when I make it. It's not easy to get neck disease after eating it. Those with neck disease should not eat it."
"Oh, old man, it's good for your health to eat these."
Li Yi introduced the effect and said something to Yao Chong.
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu." What else could Yao Chong say? Since the other party had given him the method, he should get it quickly.
"Brother Yi, can these two make money?" Li Chengqi asked.
He made a lot of money by extracting soybean oil. When it was promoted, other people would also start to extract soybean oil and he would not be able to make much money.
The prince's residence also had expenses and wanted to buy good things.
"It's profitable. In winter, oysters with shells can be preserved for a long time. It's especially profitable." Li Yi nodded.
"No." Yao Chong was angry.
"How can you let the people benefit for you?" He criticized.
Li Chengqi curled his lips.
Li Yi couldn't take it anymore. You're just an old man who came here to eat and drink for free. I even gave you a prescription, and you still want to control what I do?
Besides …
"What do you know? Ah, Old Man, I mean what you said is wrong. "Li Yi immediately corrected himself.
Yao Chong glared at him. 'Little bastard, you dare to scold the Prime Minister?' Do you believe that I will arrest you and punish you?
"Uh-huh!" Li Longji coughed and changed the subject, "Brother Yi, don't you think it's a waste of manpower and resources?"
"It's not like we're taking it for free. Big Brother and I will buy some back first. When there are more people in Chang 'an who like to eat, and the price is as high as Kunbu, the sea people will naturally get money."
"The high price of kunbu lies in the fact that it is not artificially farmed. Harvesting it requires too much manpower."
"Oysters, sea … I call it sea cabbage. These two are easy to get."
"Soy sauce is expensive. It's not that the cost of soy sauce is high. It's just that there are fewer of them."
"More people are willing to eat oysters and sea cabbage, and the price will increase accordingly. Apart from fishing and boiling the sea for salt, the sea people will also get more benefits."
Li Yi explained the simple supply and demand relationship to Li Longji and the others. If the goods sold well, the people by the sea would earn more money.
Yao Chong lowered his head, wishing that he could cover his face with both hands.
He understood what Li Yi had said, and it was just as Li Yi had said.
Thus, he felt that he was a disgrace. As the Prime Minister, he couldn't differentiate and think of such a small matter.
He secretly raised his head, and immediately became angry. 'King Song, what's with your expression? Are you looking down on me? I'll impeach you. '
Li Chengqi felt the murderous aura and turned his head away, avoiding Yao Chong.
"Brother Yi is a genius." Li Longji spoke again. 'Don't make a fuss.'
'Especially Prime Minister Yao, if you fall sick from anger, my Brother Yi will have to save you.'
Li Longji was confident that if anyone fell sick in front of Brother Yi, Brother Yi would be able to save them.
Li Yi said casually, "It's just making money. It's just a small matter."
"What's the big matter?" Yao Chong asked.
"The people are the most important, the country comes second, and the monarch is the least important." Li Yi answered.
He continued, "Therefore, the people are the most important. For the Tang dynasty, even if I'm rich, it's not as good as hiding my wealth among the people. When the people are rich, the country will be rich. Wealth is not limited to one person; when the people are strong, the country will be strong. Strength is not temporary. "
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of the wind and rain outside the window could be heard.
After a while, Li Longji, who said that he didn't drink, poured himself some wine and held the bowl with both hands, "Brother Yi, a toast to you."
Li Chengqi hurriedly held his bowl, "Brother Yi."
Yao Chong took a deep breath and held his bowl with both hands, "Li Dongzhu."
Li Yi, "…"
'What are you doing? Is it necessary? What did I say? ' 'You guys are overreacting.'
Thinking of this, he was forced to hold the wine. Everyone toasted each other and gulped down the wine.
Li Yi was depressed. 'I didn't eat much, and you want me to drink until I'm full? I'll wake up in the middle of the night because of hunger. His heart and liver were scratching, and it was very uncomfortable.
"Hahaha ~ ~ ~" Li Longji held the empty bowl and laughed.
Yao Chong also smiled.
Empress Wang reached out and rubbed Li Yi's head.
When she was satisfied, she let go and Li Yi tied his hair again.
Yao Chong looked at Li Longji with admiration again. Li Chengqi continued to despise Yao Chong.
"Good, Brother Yi, you're very good." Li Longji was in a good mood. There was a relaxed expression on his face and joy in his eyes.
If Li Yi's words were said by someone else, Li Longji would have added a series of question marks behind it.
But if Li Yi said it, Li Longji believed it.
If a person did not serve the country or the people, why would he throw away so many good things?
"Third Brother, you flatter me. When everyone is rich, I can earn more money. Otherwise, who can I earn money from?" Li Yi said modestly.
Li Chengqi and Yao Chong continued to drink. Li Longji lowered his head and ate the mutton.
The mutton was cold, so the palace maid Cui Liu warmed it up.
The meal lasted until nine o 'clock in the evening. Only then did they return to their rooms.
Li Longji and Empress Wang were doing business.
Li Chengqi used the biogas lamp to analyze the things he bought from the beach.
Li Yi fell into a deep sleep.
Yao Chong tossed and turned, unable to sleep. It was not because the bed and pillow were uncomfortable, nor was the room too damp.
The impact on him was too great.
"How can there be such a person? He knows everything. Is Zhuge Liang still alive? "
"Is it Yiyin, Lu Shang, or Guan Zhong?"
"No, it should be Fan Li. Zhang Liangji and Xiao Hemou. "
Yao Chong murmured and thought of a vague position. He was suddenly shocked. Did I give that young man such a high evaluation?
The next morning, the rain was lighter.
Everyone went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Today, there was porridge, steamed buns, pies, wontons, youtiao, soy milk, and tofu pudding.
Small salted vegetables of wild vegetables were placed in a row, together with red fermented bean curd and salted dried tofu.
A large group of children, wearing the same clothes and carrying the same school bags, sat together and ate with their heads lowered.
They had milk and an extra … hundred-boiled round egg.
Yao Chong looked at the children and felt happy. They were too beautiful. This was hope.
When he saw the hundred-boiled round egg, sigh …
The others ate steamed buns dipped in garlic sauce. Some poured some vinegar.
Five people sat at a rectangular table. The four people from the palace ate with their heads lowered.
More than a dozen people from the Zhang family's village came to check the wheat that was harvested in the rain yesterday.
Seeing that it was dry, two people ran back to the village to tell the others the good news.
The rest of the people ate in the cafeteria.
On the other side were 42 students who had cleaned the cowshed, pigsty, and chicken and duck house early in the morning.
All the food was placed there. Whoever ate as much as they wanted.
As he watched, Yao Chong, who thought he could remain calm, had tears in his eyes. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.
Especially when the children finished eating, each of them held a cartoon umbrella, lined up, and sang as they walked out.
Yao Chong's tears dripped down.
"Little boy, little boy, carrying a school bag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain …"
Listening to the song, the students stood up.
Those who had classes cupped their fists to their colleagues. "It's my turn today. Don't worry, I will teach them well."
"Let's encourage each other." The others returned the salute.
"Old man, what do you think?" Li Longji asked Yao Chong.
The reason why he came to the cafeteria to eat was to see the children's appearance when they went to school.
Even if the court was difficult, with the children's singing, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Yao Chong wiped his tears. "The world is always like this. Li Dongzhu, you have the qualifications to be conferred the title of Marquis. "
Li Yi shook his head. "I don't want to be conferred the title of Marquis. I hope Hai Bo will be peaceful."
