When the Non-commissioned Officer heard Li Yi say that it was for war, they no longer frowned.
They knew their position. They had to be the strongest in the Tang dynasty, no, the strongest in the world.
They had to know what others couldn't, and they had to know what others couldn't.
"Dongzhu, tell us how to learn. We're willing to learn," the veteran said.
"Yes, we'll learn. Dongzhu won't harm us."
"Dongzhu, I'm afraid of studying the most, but this time I'll do my best."
"I'll treat it as if someone has put a gun to my neck. If I don't learn, I'll die."
The other Non-commissioned Officer shouted one after another. They looked like they were going to risk their lives.
They envied scholars. Previously, the 3,000 Winged Knights in Zhuangzi learned how to write.
Now, the Winged Knights were learning how to write and use it to transmit information.
"Find the students to learn. This is simple. I don't need to teach you. Don't play with hot air balloons all day. Isn't there a river? Wear a ball and go down.
In the future, you will play water polo in the river. That's the most useful for practicing swimming.
I know that there are some among the new Winged Knights who can't swim. Go down.
After that, I'll choose a mountain and take you to rock climb.
Send some low-ranking officials from Honglu Temple to teach you the Tubo and Turkic languages in Zhuangzi. "
Li Yi made the arrangements. He also wanted to learn the Tubo and Turkic languages, as well as writing.
The Non-commissioned Officer's morale was high. Li Yi was relieved.
He ran to the workshop and found someone to make a large number of rope rulers.
The rope rulers used in the workshop had two scales. One was centimeter and one was meter, and the other was cun, chi, and zhang.
They were marked with red and blue on a rope. Now, they were going to equip the army.
After arranging these things, Li Yi thought for a while and found Steward Song.
"Tomorrow and the day after, give the children two days off. Go out and play. Prepare guards and carriages. Go out and eat barbecue skewers."
Li Yi saw that autumn was coming. The children hadn't had an autumn outing yet.
In Zhuangzi, the children had toys and looked very happy.
However, the autumn outing was an activity that he had liked since he was young. He thought that the children in Zhuangzi would also be willing to participate.
Of course, a holiday was a holiday. A holiday was a holiday. A holiday was a holiday. There was no need to write travel notes.
"Dongzhu, where are you going?" Song De knew that taking care of a child was the most difficult task.
"If we don't go to the city, we'll be restricted. We'll go to … Lantian County. Lantian County is close, and there's also the Drunken Immortal Tavern there.
I want to go over and take a look to see if there are any projects that can be developed, how everyone's living conditions are, and what the employees are doing.
We should have gone to Wugong County. We sent people to investigate there first, but it's quite far away. "
Li Yi gave it some thought and chose Lantian County.
"I'll go tell the children the good news now." Song De agreed and turned around to make arrangements and deliver the news.
"We'll talk about it at night. If we talk about it now, they won't be in the mood to study." Li Yi knew children very well.
Sure enough, at night, before dinner, the children went crazy when they told them that they were going to Lantian County to eat skewers the next day.
They were inexplicably excited and ran and screamed.
On the morning of July 30th, the Li Family Zhuangzi Children's Troop set off again. The children lined up to get on the carriage.
60 guards came out of the village. They carried bows and crossbows and swords.
The Winged Knights followed closely behind with 300 riders. Each person had three horses. The scouts were sent out early.
Li Yi sat outside the carriage. His legs were hanging and swaying, looking very leisurely.
Guo Ziyi, who was personally leading the team, was worried. Last night, he was called by Li Yi to talk to him about something.
With a large group of children, the speed of the convoy was not fast. They only arrived at Lantian County at nine in the morning.
This was the second time the people of Lantian County saw a luxurious convoy. The first time was when the villagers came over to show off their strength.
When the children got off the carriage one by one, the people of Lantian County were stunned.
They had long heard that the children of the Li Family Zhuangzi's villagers were living well. Today, when they saw it with their own eyes, they knew that 'good' was not enough to judge them.
They were clearly little ancestors that were specially raised by the big families.
Each and every one of them looked so small that they wanted to carry them home.
When the little ones lined up while shouting the slogan "One, two, one, two" and walked towards the largest grain-sunning field in the county, the people sighed one after another.
The children of the county also ran out to take a look. Their eyes were filled with envy.
They were envious of so many children playing together. They were also envious of the clothes that others were wearing.
When they reached the place, the children of Zhuangzi took down their backpacks and opened them.
Then, they shouted to the surrounding children, "Come over and play with us. We brought toys. Let's barbecue skewers together later. "
The children of the county who came over to take a look did not dare to move, even if their eyes were filled with yearning.
In their opinion, the children of the Li Family Zhuangzi were not people of the same world as them.
When the children of Zhuangzi saw that they were not coming, the older children ran over. They did not mind that the other children's clothes and hands were dirty. They pulled them away.
One by one, the children were pulled away. It was not that they wanted to go, but that they had no choice.
But soon, they let go of their 'reservations' and played with all kinds of toys with the children of the village.
They used small shovels and pots made of bamboo to play house next to the piles of fine sand that the villagers pushed over.
There were also small forklifts and dump carts with wooden wheels that the children had never seen before. They could be pushed by hand and run on the ground.
Their parents could not come over and were stopped by the Winged Knights a stone's throw away.
Small umbrellas opened one after another in the sky where the children were playing.
It was the first time that the children of the county had seen such interesting things.
They put the small stones into a small bag. The small bag was connected to a few ropes with a ball of silk on top.
They were rolled into a ball and thrown into the sky. The bag containing the stones fell below. The silk on top became a parachute and slowly floated down.
The things that they played with were bamboo dragonflies that could fly in the sky. They felt that it was not as interesting as this.
Li Yi did not accompany the children. His ambulance continued forward under the protection of the 20 Winged Knights.
He sat outside the ambulance and observed the situation of Lantian County. Every year, Lantian County would be hit by a disaster.
Sometimes it would be hail, sometimes it would be floods, and sometimes it would be drought in the second half of the year.
There were many mountains in Lantian County. Every place could be different.
"Tomorrow morning, I will go up the mountain. Everyone, get ready. Send out 20 of the first Winged Knights to follow me."
Li Yi said to Guo Ziyi who was beside him as he looked at the houses.
"I will go too." Guo Ziyi nodded.
"Go. This mountain can't be terraced. Otherwise, soil erosion will worsen. It is a place that is always affected by disasters."
Li Yi turned his head and looked at the mountain. There were traces of logging on the mountain. Obviously, it was used to get wood.
There were plants growing in the areas where the logs were cut. He did not know who planted it. It was wild grass.
"Then what are the mountains suitable for?" Guo Ziyi did not know much about farming in the mountains.
"There is no need to use the land on the mountain. There is good paddy soil here. It should be used for paddy fields. It would be a pity to plant wheat.
There is more soil. If it is sorted, it can be used for small workshops. I think the kilns in this county are the best. "
Li Yi knew that Lantian County had pottery and porcelain clay. The locals would definitely build kilns.
As they walked and looked, Li Yi shook his head. It was poor. The houses were built with grass and mud. There were no tiles on them.
