One day before the tenth lunar month, Li Yi left and returned to Zhuangzi.
He left 50 villagers to take care of things here while the rest returned.
The Winged Knights withdrew 9,000 men, leaving 1,000 men to train and maintain order between the two counties.
Liu Youqiu and Li Rizhi had to stay for a few more days to wait for the new provincial governor and other officials to arrive.
The county magistrate was promoted and became a senior official.
Li Yi praised him for doing the right thing. The matter did not go through Li Longji and Yao Chong did not bother about it either. The Ministry of Personnel issued the official document.
"We're finally going back. My Shang 'er is still waiting for a check-up." Empress Wang hugged the little guy happily in Baifu Hall.
Li Jianyao's big eyes were more lively now. Not only could he turn around, but he could also sit up. His little hands grabbed something and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.
Li Yi did not exchange for gum and cut carrots into strips for the baby to bite.
When the adults were eating, the baby would reach out to grab the carrots.
Normal families did not allow children to grab the carrots. Most of the time, the child would cry and the adults would say things like they could not eat the carrots and their hands would be dirty.
Empress Wang was not like that. If the child wanted to grab the carrots, she could grab them as long as they were not scalded.
The little guy grabbed something and stuffed it into his mouth, but spat it out not long after.
When he grabbed the rice and noodles, his hands and clothes were all over and he was drooling.
Even so, Empress Wang allowed him to grab the carrots. It was nothing more than wiping his hands and changing his clothes.
Li Yi said that the child wanted to know what it was, what it tasted like, whether it was edible, and whether it was delicious.
"San Lang, look at the documents sent by Li Rizhi and Liu Youqiu. Li Yi can handle the affairs of a province with ease. Isn't it a pity to keep him in Zhuangzi?"
Imperial Concubine Doulu mentioned a matter.
"He can't go out. If Zheng County was not next to Weinan, I would not have allowed him to stay there for a few days."
Li Longji refused to arrange an official position for Li Yi.
Empress Wang kissed her son and said, "Uncle's talent is not something that can be tolerated by a single prefectural magistrate. Even if we are all under the same school, it won't do. Isn't that right, Shang 'er? "
"Ah, ah." After being kissed and hearing his nickname, the little fellow hurriedly expressed his position.
"Look, my Shang 'er knows everything." Empress Wang naturally understood her son's words.
"Let's eat. Do you still want mutton?" Li Longji boiled a piece of mutton, blew on it, and sent it to the little fellow.
The little fellow moved backwards. He had already grabbed and tasted it, and it didn't taste good.
Moreover, if he rubbed his face with oil, it would be uncomfortable. It was not as fun as nibbling on carrots.
She licked the carrot stick with her tongue. It was still a little sweet. She did not want this thing.
"Come, come. Have some tofu. I'll blow on it until it's cold. Have a bite with the hotpot soup."
Li Dan turned into a child for a moment, her face full of smiles.
He picked up a piece of tofu to warm it, placed it on a spoon, and used chopsticks to crush it bit by bit. He then scooped some soup to test the temperature and brought it to his grandson's mouth.
The little fellow opened his mouth and half a spoon of tofu went into his mouth. He chewed on it and danced around, causing a lot of tofu to fall out.
"Brother Yi said that if you feed the baby during meals, the baby will be happy. This is called the satisfaction of participation."
Li Longji explained the situation. He knew how to raise a child now.
When he had children with other women in the past, he only liked them when they were clean and did not care about other aspects.
When it was Li Jianyao, he even helped change his diapers.
In his heart, this was not only a child, but also not only his son. It represented the legitimacy of the imperial power.
The birth of the child could be said to be a reversal of the situation. There were fewer matters in the imperial court, and no one dared to mention the Empress being childless.
The adopted son of Yang Guipin had been sent back. There was no need for him anymore.
Including those in the imperial family, who dared to say that the throne was not rightful behind his back?
Li Longji glanced at his son from time to time, and the meal was finished.
On the 30th of September, the family of three arrived at the Li Family Zhuangzi. Li Longji did not care about the imperial court meeting tomorrow.
Li Yi slept for a total of 16 hours after he came back yesterday, and he was so sleepy that he felt sleepy.
Now that he was awake, he felt like he would lose sleep at night.
First, he pricked the child and did a blood test to see if he was poisoned. The results were good. There was no poison, and the child was very healthy.
"You can try to play with him more. For example, push him down when he sits up. He'll find it interesting and get up on his own.
Also, let him touch something taller with his hands and put it on a gentle slope for him to play with.
Don't worry about him getting hurt. His body is soft now. Practice his kicking and he'll be able to crawl after that. "
Li Yi carried the child skillfully with one hand and used the spoon to crush the egg soup in the bowl with the other. When he was about to feed the child, he explained the situation.
The baby had already forgotten who pricked him and took his blood. Now, he was staring at the egg soup with his big eyes, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Yi, can the solution you gave to the people in Zheng County be used in other counties?" Li Longji saw that his son was fine, and he talked about politics.
"In winter, the people in Chang 'an will naturally raise garlic and bean sprouts. The same kind of things from other places will not make much money.
The advantage of the people in Zheng County is their scale. Compared to the people in Chang 'an, they have more land to use.
If they are transported to Beijing to sell the garlic sprouts, the price will be lower. I'll wait for the small garlic sprouts to grow.
Small garlic sprouts can be made into pickled vegetables with some salt. No other pickled vegetables can compare to them. Not everyone will like to eat them.
Small garlic sprouts can be used as stuffing. It can replace chives and garlic sprouts. "
Li Yi did not say whether other places would work or not. He only said that the garlic sprouts in Zheng County were auxiliary and the small garlic sprouts were the main ingredient.
Whether it works or not does not depend on what is produced locally, but how it is sold.
The soy sauce recipe has been spread out, and everyone knows how to make it. Li Family Zhuangzi's soy sauce is still more expensive than other soy sauces.
It is three times higher. As long as the Li Family Zhuangzi sells soy sauce, the supply will still not meet the demand.
Li Yi has tasted other soy sauces before, and there is no difference.
However, the people feel that the Li Family Zhuangzi's soy sauce is better than other soy sauces.
Li Longji was deep in thought, and Li Yi fed the egg soup to the baby.
He fed the baby bit by bit, and his hands trembled. He stopped when the baby ate a little.
The baby did not spit out the spoonful when he fed the baby. He even licked the spoonful, and it was clean. It was a sense of accomplishment.
"Ah, ah." The baby moved his limbs and looked at the people he knew.
Li Yi quickly nodded. "That's great. Give me a kiss. Smack! "
The little guy was even happier. He wanted to express that he ate it very cleanly. After getting the feedback, he was very happy.
"Brother Yi, are you going to use cement to build their houses?" Li Longji thought about the problem of branding and changed the topic.
"It's the same with yellow mud. Speaking of cement, Third Brother, is it difficult to unify the weight and size of our catapults when making the projectiles? "
Li Yi followed the topic and talked about the situation of the war.
"For the defense of the city, the city will find craftsmen to carve stones. When the stones are gone, they will put whatever they want. You mean …"
Li Longji realized.
Yes, the size and shape of the stones used to make the catapults can be changed. When the cement is firm, it will be standard stones.
