The moon on the 16th was still very round. It was still rising slowly before midnight.
The farmers on the night shift wore an extra layer of clothes. The weather was even colder.
The cucumbers and eggplants in the vegetable field were ready to be harvested in a few days.
Many cucumbers and eggplants were still very small. The farmers were waiting for the frost to come.
After the frost, the most obvious change was the eggplants. The eggplants would become very sweet.
The small eggplants that were one inch long could be picked and rubbed with their hands. Then, they could be eaten raw like fruits.
All the migrant workers entered the new building. The windows were covered with paper.
Standing on the terrace by the river, they could see that many families had lit candles.
Occasionally, some families placed the candles in the wrong place. Through the window, they could see people.
There were children writing, women knitting, and … whose family was that? What were the men and women waiting for? That chat?
"The building next door is for students to live in for free. Zhuangzi no longer provides food, brushes, ink, and paper."
Li Chengqi pointed to the building next to the migrant workers and said that the students were treated badly.
"There is still porridge in the morning. At least they won't starve to death. Zhuangzi newly bought land has a lot of greenhouses. As long as they are willing to work, they can live on."
Li Longji couldn't sleep at all. His heart was filled with what he heard during the meal.
It was not that he was in a hurry to find a solution when he encountered a problem.
It was that he knew what the problem would be before it happened and knew how to deal with it.
The relationship between various industries and various practitioners was simple and clear.
When listed out one by one, it was countless times better than the previous fragments.
Thinking like this, Li Longji's brows relaxed. "With Brother Yi, I feel at ease."
"I'm not in a hurry either. I was always afraid that something would not be done well and make the Tang dynasty unstable. Now the fund can always operate."
Li Chengqi had a goal in life. He was not afraid of causing trouble and being suspected by his third brother.
Compared with Li Yi's set of things, what he did was just a small part of it.
Counting on the money from football, the Workers' League, the Yi League, and the seaside business to rebel, unless there was an army outside that could defeat the Winged Knights.
No, it wasn't just the Winged Knights. There was also Brother Yi. Brother Yi wouldn't sit by and watch a rebellion happen. Brother Yi wanted stability.
"I wonder how the war in the southwest is going." After Li Longji was no longer worried about the development of the Tang dynasty, he thought of the problem of the barbarians in the southwest.
"Perhaps it won't be too bad. Third Brother, are you worried that the Winged Knights will suffer too much damage?" Li Chengqi knew that the Winged Knights were precious.
"I'm just afraid that they'll recklessly charge in and think that they've learned something great. They'll recklessly fight the enemy head-on."
Li Longji didn't deny it. He could accept the deaths of the Winged Knights, but he couldn't accept the fact that there were too many deaths.
If other people saw this, they would think that the Winged Knights were not strong enough, and some people would start having other thoughts.
"They are very smart. The people trained by Brother Yi all have different ideas from others. Hahaha! "Li Chengqi comforted.
Speaking of training, he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Longji smiled and looked at the other end of Baqiao with his binoculars.
There were torches at the end of the bridge. Some students had just moved in and didn't have money to buy oil and candles. They didn't want to sleep, so they ran to the end of the bridge to read.
It was cold, but there was no problem with safety. There were also Qianniu Guards who took turns to train at night.
In addition, there were also people who were preparing to set up stalls tomorrow. They arrived before dark and slept beside carts or poles.
If they didn't have many companions, they would be afraid to walk at night.
People who lived a little further away chose to come out during the day and go to Baqiao at night to sleep until dawn.
When they sold out, they bought what they needed and stayed for one night.
The migrant workers and the Zhang family's village also had markets. The people outside couldn't cross the bridge, so they could only wait for them to go out.
They communicated with each other and exchanged what they needed. They could also use exchange coupons.
There were very few copper coins and silk in circulation in Chang 'an.
The Li Family Zhuangzi released 300,000 yuan worth of exchange coupons one after another. Only those who had too much copper coins and silk still used the original currency.
Especially silk, no one wanted it anymore.
If they accidentally dirtied it, no one would accept it when they used it as currency.
One piece of cloth after another was placed there. Sometimes, they didn't know how much money they had.
Most of the copper coins and silk were sold to merchants who came to Chang 'an to sell things.
Some foreign merchants also exchanged some coupons. They didn't expect to use them elsewhere, but they could use them as money when they came to Chang 'an in the future.
"Third brother, go back. There is still a court meeting tomorrow." Li Chengqi felt cold and advised Li Longji to rest.
"Let's go." Li Longji was not sleepy at all. He was full of energy.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Put out the fire!" A voice came from afar at night.
Li Longji finally frowned. He carefully identified the direction of the voice and looked over with binoculars. There was indeed a fire.
However, it was not in Zhuangzi. It was still some distance away from the dock.
How could there be a fire there? Who moved things to that place?
Then, he saw a group of Qianniu Guards rushing over and lighting torches.
Some of their torches had not been lit yet. They ran and matched their torches with other people's torches.
In the light of the fire, people were pushing carts and carrying poles.
"What's going on?" Li Longji asked loudly.
One of the Winged Knights hiding in the dark jumped out. "Your Majesty, it's okay. It's probably a drill. A few days ago, Li Dongzhu said that it should be torturous."
Li Longji continued to look through the binoculars. The fire was burning. Was it a wooden house? He didn't know what was inside. Anyway, the fire was very big.
The Qianniu Guards were spraying water against the flames. Some of them seemed to have taken a long iron hook and stretched it over.
A part of the wall of the wooden house collapsed, and the people above fell down. The fire was slightly reduced, and more people sprayed water forward.
After more than a quarter of an hour, only smoke was left. The fire in the place where the fire was burning was extinguished.
At this time, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Li Dongzhu asked people to build a house with broken wood during the day. There is hay inside."
Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief. "It's really torturous. Let's go to sleep."
This time, he was sleepy.
The next morning, Li Yi woke up early and went to check on the patients.
When Li Longji and the others were about to leave, Li Yi brought over ten iron hand-operated flour grinders.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, Sister-in-law, take these and use them when you go back.
If you want to eat whiter flour, you have to grind it and then move the flour below.
If the flour below is black, you have to grind it for a while more before moving it away. The color of the flour depends on … "
Li Yi explained how to use the flour grinders. As they ground, they produced flour.
According to the time, the color of the flour produced was different.
"In two days, the porcelain flour will be produced. If it's good, prepare to rent or sell it to others."
Li Yi explained his arrangements.
Last night's topic was the general direction of the theory. When it was put into practice, it was the advancement of various small technologies.
When many small technologies were transformed into productivity, the energy would change qualitatively.
"This time, the rich will definitely eat the whitest flour. The rest of the flour will be for the ordinary people."
Empress Wang looked at the things and listened to Li Yi. She wanted to eat the last flour.
"It's not good to eat it all the time. Different wheat has different tendons. They can be mixed to make the skin of cakes and fillings."
Li Yi added.
