"Uncle, we'll bring Xiao Yao home tomorrow," Empress Wang said to Li Yi while eating hotpot with the baby in her arms.
Xiao Yao's name was Li Jianyao. It was time to bring him back.
Empress Wang had been sending a lot of labor to Yeting Palace in the past few days.
She felt that the harem was stable. If she didn't come out usually, no one would be able to touch the child.
Li Yi glanced at the little guy. There was no reluctance on his face.
He nodded. "Only by bringing him back and keeping him by your side can the baby feel at ease. If there are no other emergencies, you can come for a check-up every ten days."
The little guy was sleepy, but when he smelled the hotpot, he sniffed and didn't want to sleep.
As his eyesight gradually developed, the baby's sense of smell also gradually improved.
"Does he want to eat?" Li Longji asked with a smile when he saw his son sniffing.
"He just wants to know what it is. He observes with his eyes. When he's bigger, he'll grab it with his hands and put it in his mouth. If he doesn't like it, he'll spit it out."
Li Yi shook his head and explained the child's situation.
As he spoke, the baby's eyes closed. His curiosity couldn't beat his sleepiness.
Empress Wang waited for a while and put the baby in the stroller beside her. It was actually a rocking bed with wheels under it.
"Today's winter will definitely be better than previous years, especially for the people in the capital." Li Chengqi rinsed a piece of meat and dipped it in seasoning.
"The farming tools that Brother Yi gave us are being used in many places. They save time and use them for other things to increase their income."
Li Longji had already received information that a whole set of farming tools was being used in further places during this autumn's harvest.
Each tool saved a few days of time. In total, they would be less busy for at least one and a half months.
The people would gather wild vegetables, fish, and make them into dried vegetables to eat in winter.
In places where there was no coal, they would gather more firewood at home. There would be enough firewood to burn in winter.
Many people in the northern region built heatable beds to breed bean sprouts in winter and hatch chickens and ducks now.
With the promotion of Qingchu fodder, those who had cows at home didn't have to worry about them losing weight in winter.
In his opinion, this was the livelihood of the people.
As for Li Yi's new song, "Meeting Ao Bao," which was being spread outside, it only made people happy for a moment.
The commoners did indeed receive benefits. They worked for the same amount of time, but the benefits were different.
In addition, the well drilling team had gone to the east of the Taihang Mountains and was still drilling wells.
They were prepared to give up on the dry land. With wells, they planted seeds and planted crops.
In addition, many businessmen in Chang 'an were looking for places to learn how to build greenhouses. Due to the lack of sunlight, it took a long time for them to grow, so they had to plant them early and cultivate the path of fire.
And all of this had been changed by one person.
Li Longji looked at Li Yi with gratitude in his eyes. The things that Li Yi had taken out had greatly reduced the pressure on him.
Li Yi had given them 100,000 taels for the war against the Great Southwest Barbarians, which boosted their morale.
The soldiers who went to war didn't have to worry about not having enough food at home. When they went to war, they didn't have to worry about the rear.
"There hasn't been any news for a month. I wonder how Zhang Xiaosong is doing."
Empress Wang was thinking about the army that fought in the Western Region.
Many small tribes wanted to submit to the Tang dynasty, but they were all scared by the achievements of Zhang Xiaosong's army.
Zhang Xiaosong took down not just a few cities, but a few hundred.
"He will be corrupt. He will be after defeating Asoda," Li Yi suddenly said.
With Ye Fashan, an immortal, there was no problem for him to be an immortal.
"Is he greedy for the things he seized?" Empress Wang thought that was the only thing he could be greedy for.
If he couldn't be greedy for military provisions, where could he sell them? If the soldiers didn't have food to eat during the war, they would have to drink the northwest wind and win consecutive battles.
"It doesn't matter what he is greedy for. He has to be greedy. He has contributed too much." Li Yi smiled.
There was only one sentence recorded in history: Someone accused Xiao Song of corruption, so he was sent to prison in Liangzhou and demoted to Soldier Cao of Lingzhou.
In Li Yi's opinion, Zhang Xiaosong was afraid.
He took down hundreds of cities in a row and slaughtered three more, forcing the other party to run into the mountains.
How good was he at fighting? How great was his contribution?
He beat the locals until they were afraid at the mention of his name. The other tribes ran to the Tang dynasty.
What should he do after the war? What position should he be given? Should he continue to hold the fort there?
He was just greedy for a while. Later in history, when the situation eased, he became a high-ranking official again and continued to lead the army.
Li Longji narrowed his eyes and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Let him be greedy for a while. It's better to let him continue to hold the fort there. It's better to give him a title." Li Longji didn't care.
He wasn't afraid of how powerful Zhang Xiaosong was now. No matter how powerful he was, he could fight his way to Chang 'an.
What he needed now was stability. Sending Zhang Xiaosong to continue to hold the fort could deter others and let the Tang dynasty take the opportunity to develop.
If he was arrested and imprisoned, there would be a shortage of powerful generals, and others would be ready to make trouble.
With Li Yi around, Li Longji could give more freedom and trust to the generals outside.
"You can send the Winged Knights with hot air balloons, whirlwind cannons, wooden arrows, and gunpowder to let him familiarize himself with it. It can also be considered as a form of supervision to make him feel at ease. "
Li Yi followed up with ideas. Zhang Xiaosong was afraid. What was there to be afraid of? It was good to be able to fight.
Zhang Xiaosong, who was in the middle of a crazy campaign, didn't know that his fate had changed on the night of August 15th.
It was fine no matter how greedy he was. It was such a big contribution. So what if he was greedy? There would be good things for him later.
Princess Jinxian was also eating hotpot. Xun Xin was explaining the manufacturing method of copper type printing and how to print it.
"It's so simple? Cast a mold, then leave a slot on the mold, brush ink on it, and print it? It's just that copper type is more expensive. "
Princess Jinxian heard it and found it easy. She could understand it as soon as she heard it.
"What about the ink?" Ye Fashan thought differently.
"Buy it on Zhuangzi. I can't teach you. Otherwise, you will know the other colors of ink for printing coupons."
Xun Xin said what Li Yi didn't say to him. How could he give them the manufacturing method of ink if they printed money on Zhuangzi?
"We can still … can't sell it too expensive?" Princess Jinxian was about to say, "Can we still print money?" On second thought, it was easy to leak the secret.
She didn't think that the people she found would keep the manufacturing method of ink a secret.
This set of things would be used to print money for the Tang dynasty in the future.
"Princess Jinxian, don't worry. We won't charge you a single cent more. You can send people to transport it away. If you want to print newspapers, it's fine. In the future, Zhuangzi's newspapers will have more colors."
Xun Xin said according to Li Yi's instructions. The other party printed the books as a gift. If they didn't sell it, then there was no need to earn their money.
"If we don't print newspapers, no one will buy it. We can't find time to advertise it." Princess Jinxian waved her hand and picked up the wine again.
Xun Xin took his leave and went to do other things. He didn't have to write a method of printing movable type.
It was indeed simple. The reason why others didn't know how to do it was because they didn't think in that direction.
Heavenly World Restaurant.
"This is a mooncake? It's deliberately printed with the words' family 'and' hometown '. I don't know what he's thinking. "
Yao Chong was eating a small mooncake. It wasn't very greasy.
They were sitting in a different direction. The original direction couldn't see the moon and was facing the road to the north.
In another direction, they saw the East Market below. The revolving restaurant above was being used.
"Maybe it's to have one more food. The method of making mooncakes was written in the newspaper." Lu Huaishen also couldn't guess Li Yi's purpose.
