Small boats traveled back and forth on the canal one after another.
Cattle were loaded onto the boats and transported to Zheng County. The bricks and tiles from other counties were loaded onto the boats one after another.
Li Yi's Workers' Alliance and Yi's Alliance sold the furniture and clothes they made to Li Yi at cost price.
For the people in the disaster areas, there was nothing left except for the fact that they were still alive.
Li Yi sold these things to them at cost price. There was no need to pay them now. They could only pay them back when they made money.
The cattle went to the fields. Every family affected by the disaster contributed one mu of land for the winter wheat.
The water gradually receded, revealing the small seedlings on the ground. Many of the seedlings had died in the water. The ones that didn't die had rotten roots and yellowed seedlings.
"Don't worry about the original land. We'll plant as much as we can next year. Now, we'll plant the greenhouses."
The farmers of Li Family Zhuangzi said to the people who returned home after the water receded.
"What about the houses?" Some people saw that their houses had turned into mud and asked with a sobbing tone.
"Others will build the houses for you. You'll live in tents for the time being. We'll provide you with a honeycomb coal stove. Move your furniture and food in.
You'll have to pay for everything in the end. You'll have to put your fingerprint on it. My family Dongzhu didn't earn a single cent from you. They even paid for the transportation. "
The farmers made things clear.
It wasn't that Li Yi couldn't afford to pay. He just didn't want to. Except for the past few days when they didn't have a place to live and food to eat, he was doing charity.
Now, when things were delivered, the people had to pay.
Those who had broken arms or legs and didn't have labor at home had to plant greenhouses on two mu of land. They hired others to help them.
Strings of garlic were sent over. They had to plant garlic in the greenhouses.
In addition to garlic, there were also small stalks of garlic. They were the wild vegetables in the box that Li Yi loved to eat.
He had collected a lot of them in Zhuangzi. He had planned to eat them in winter.
Now, he took them out and soaked them in water. The small stalks of garlic had already dried, so he didn't collect the seeds.
After soaking them in water, some of the small stalks of garlic would sprout again. They could be harvested one and a half months later.
Before the small stalks of garlic were harvested, the people planted garlic sprouts.
When a batch of garlic sprouts couldn't grow, it was time to harvest the small stalks of garlic.
Under normal circumstances, garlic sprouts could be cut when it was half a month old, and then it would grow again.
If they were planted in the soil, they would grow faster, and at the same time, they would be able to grow more.
That is, the greenhouse should be ready. Fire path cultivators would enter and last for half a month. Then, they would start to sell garlic sprouts. They would sell at most four batches of garlic sprouts. They would not care about the garlic sprouts and harvest small garlic sprouts.
Whether a small garlic stalk in winter was valuable or not depended on who was selling it.
"Let me handle this. I haven't finished copying the medical books. There's a group of people in Zhuangzi waiting for me to attend class. Today is the last day. I won't be coming tomorrow. "
Li Yi complained to Li Rizhi and Liu You in the provincial government office.
The two of them were so busy dealing with the state affairs that they called Li Yi to the yamen.
Various counties in Hua State had sent them to the Governor's office, wanting to organize some activities, promoting coal in winter, and asking for state funds to repair old and lonely houses …
Li Yi was analyzing all the messy things. He wanted to see if the local government really wanted to do it, or if it was just for the sake of corruption.
This included some cases that needed to be retried. The documents provided evidence, witnesses, and material evidence.
Li Yi dealt with them according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he saw through a few of the local government's plans.
When he had time, he also instructed the county on what to do.
For example, there were many wild boars in Huayin County. There was little food in winter, so they ran down the mountain and dug the ground to eat the sprouts.
The local people could not stand it. It was very tiring to hunt wild boars, and they were worried that the wild boars would not walk into the hole.
Li Yi gave an idea. He told the county magistrate to order the people to dig the hole first and then plant the dried bean sprouts in the hole.
At the same time, he stir-fried the beans. He crushed the beans into powder and put them in the hole.
The wild boars had sensitive noses. When they smelled the beans and saw crops, they would naturally rush over.
Huayin County was close to Zheng County. He told the county magistrate that the wild boars caught and sent to the Li Family Zhuangzi could be sold for a high price.
He dealt with the state affairs quickly. Li Rizhi and Liu You were surprised but did not think much of it.
They had been provincial governors of many places. This was the first time they saw an official in the provincial government giving ideas to the local government.
Things like trapping rabbits, pulling a net to catch sparrows, and using a sturdy bamboo ring to catch pheasants, etc.
Li Yi wrote the solution to the county. The pheasants did not know how to retreat. They tied a sturdy bamboo ring to the roots of the trees and put some grains in it.
The pheasants ate and put their heads in it. Then, they tried their best to move forward and could not get out.
There was also the problem of ice forming around the well in winter. After the ice was shaved off, a layer of oil could be applied. This way, it would not freeze and could be easily knocked off.
He also told Liyang and Xiagou that there were many pine trees in the two areas. He asked the people to collect tree oil. If they collected enough, they could also sell it to the Li Family Zhuangzi for money.
Huayin had a total of three counties and one county. The arrangements were made for each county.
Li Yi rejected the proposal to organize people to develop the Kang bed in winter to hatch chickens and ducks.
He told them to wait until spring next year. How would they raise the hatched chickens in winter? What would they eat?
There were still two days left. It was October. Li Yi did not want to stay any longer.
In Huayin, except for the accounts and inventory, all other government affairs were finished.
Li Yi's work efficiency was comparable to that of four government officials.
He was the provincial governor, chief of staff, chief of staff, chief of staff, and the army. At the same time, he could also direct the post-disaster reconstruction.
Now that Li Yi said he was tired, Li Rizhi and Liu Youqiu realized that they were even more tired.
The two of them couldn't figure out how Li Yi could handle government affairs so easily.
Were the young people nowadays so powerful that they could not be reasoned with?
"Xiao Yi, with your ability, you can be the provincial governor." Liu Youqiu felt that he could not be compared to Li Yi.
"Really? Old Liu, help me arrange it. I want to be the provincial governor in Yuezhou. I am a secondary grade two official. I am a high-ranking official now.
Exiling Huang Chenrui is better than me. It is such a good position. I am in charge of Dongting Lake and the river.
If I go there, I can guarantee that the local people's income will double in three years and triple in five years. "
When Li Yi talked about Huang Chenrui and the others, he was unhappy. Why did he have to send them to Yueyang Tower?
Was Yueyang City in Hunan a poor place? What a joke.
And Hubei, why did they choose that place?
In history, Liu Youqiu was exiled from Hangzhou to Chenzhou in Hunan.
He felt that it was not good. He was so angry that he got sick and died.
Yuezhou was rich in water transportation and fishing resources. From the Yangtze River, they could enter the canal. From the canal, they could enter the Yellow River.
Then they could take the Yellow River and send the goods to Chang 'an. Ships of processed products from Dongting Lake were all money.
Liu Youqiu did not know that Li Yi was telling the truth. He felt that Li Yi was cheating him. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you go back, will the Winged Knights go back too?"
"The Winged Knights are not my soldiers. Guo Ziyi will take care of them. If Your Majesty wants them to go back, they will go back." Li Yi removed himself from the situation.
"This winter, how about carving ice lanterns in Huazhou?" Li Rizhi asked.
"Who are you showing them to? Old Li, you have to adapt to local conditions. Chang 'an can do ice lanterns and tourism, but not other places.
Using local resources reasonably is the most important thing. If the same trick is used elsewhere, it will harm the people. "
Li Yi said to Li Rizhi with a serious look.
Li Rizhi gritted his teeth and nodded.
