Li Yi drank a mouthful of soup and said slowly, "I have a model."
"The commoners will plant winter wheat in their fields. I'll pay to buy the right to use one mu of land for the winter."
"Then I'll hire the commoners to plant vegetables and pay them extra."
"Or I'll use their land, give them a share, and teach them how to plant."
"In the future, they'll know how to plant on their own. I can even take out the money to help them build greenhouses."
Li Yi's concept was ahead of the curve. He talked about the model of cooperation between enterprises and farmers.
"If they plant the vegetables you mentioned, won't there be no winter wheat?" Li Chengqi quickly thought of a problem.
"Impossible. Greenhouses require a lot of labor. In addition to the input of materials, there are also people to look after." Li Yi talked about the industrial structure and labor costs.
"What if they hire workers?" Li Chengqi's train of thought followed.
"The wages of the hired workers will increase. The more they plant, the lower the price of vegetables, the higher the price of grain, the higher the overall cost, and the lower the profit. In the end, it will be balanced. "
Li Yi introduced the market economy model.
Then he said, "The market economy can't be without the participation of the planned economy. Big Brother and Third Brother have their ways. They just need to ask the imperial court to restrict it, such as planting mulberry trees, jujube trees, and hemp."
Everyone listened. They didn't understand the market economy and the planned economy.
After thinking about it carefully, they could understand.
"Brother Yi, do the commoners make a lot of money by planting vegetables?" Li Longji was concerned about this.
"Of course they have to make money. More importantly, without vegetables in winter, people feel uncomfortable and get sick easily."
"Vegetables can solve part of the problem. When people's health is better, they'll work more and live longer."
"When the population increases, the welfare of the population will follow. Increasing the welfare of the population depends on how production technology is transformed into productivity."
At this point, Li Yi stopped.
He smiled, "You're talking too far ahead. Let's talk about the present. I'll try to bring the Zhang family to the village first."
Everyone in the house was confused. What was Li Yi talking about?
Zhang Shuo and Wei Zhigu trembled at the same time. They looked at Li Yi. How terrifying.
In layman's terms, although they didn't understand what he was talking about, they felt that he was very powerful.
Li Longji knew that his Brother Yi seemed to have many ways of governing a country.
The things that came out of Brother Yi's mouth when he was chatting while eating sounded so profound.
That's right, Brother Yi can also foresee the future, natural and man-made disasters, saying that Yao Xiang will be involved.
"Big Brother and I will help you." Li Longji solemnly said to Li Yi.
"Thank you, Third Elder Brother, Eldest Brother, oh, and Sister-in-law." Li Yi quickly added when he saw his sister-in-law looking over.
Zhang Shuo and Zhang Shuo were about to die from jealousy. His Majesty had brought the Empress to get close to one person. How great was this imperial favor?
However, after some consideration, he couldn't bring himself to be jealous.
Although Li Yi was only at the age of dancing elephants, he was very powerful.
The scariest thing was that he would answer whenever you asked. Who wouldn't like that?
Everything that was troubling him was simple.
Also, Zhuangzi's dishes are too delicious. Hurry up and eat.
After a few bites, another group of people came in. The two leaders didn't look young.
"Li Dongzhu, do you still remember me?" Yao Chong asked Li Yi.
"Elder, please." Li Yi stood up with a smile.
"I brought a good friend." Yao Chong pointed to an elder beside him.
Zhang Shuo and Wei Zhigu wanted to laugh. Good friend? That's right, he will listen to you. The other person is Prime Minister Lu Huaishen.
The palace maids and eunuchs also stopped eating and stood up to wait for orders.
Today, there was King Song, His Majesty, the Empress, three Prime Ministers, and a former Prime Minister who was now the Minister of Works. Let's start the meeting.
Since I'm a person, I'll stand on the side of the small court assembly.
Alright, everyone introduced themselves to one another. Then, the two who came in later went to wash their hands and get their food.
Two tables were placed together and they sat down. It looked very harmonious.
Li Chengqi suppressed his laughter and looked around. He wanted to ask, are you all still leaving tonight? If not, the court assembly in the palace tomorrow …
"The four of you can eat. Don't worry about us. Remember, don't eat too much. There'll always be food," Li Yi said to the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Yes, Dongzhu." The four of them were no longer afraid. Li Yi had spoken. We'll eat. His Majesty doesn't care.
Li Yi looked around. Seeing that his big brother, third brother, and sister-in-law didn't care, he didn't care either.
They were all wealthy people with servants. He took out some technology that could increase one's lifespan and hoped that they would help him promote it.
Wei Zhigu was in the worst mood. Not long ago, he was also the Prime Minister. Yao Chong didn't teach him well, and now you're blaming me? What could I have done back then?
Li Longji looked at him and thought of Brother Yi's words. He picked up a mushroom from his plate and placed it on Wei Zhigu's plate. "Elder, have a mushroom."
Wei Zhigu almost burst into tears.
The other three Prime Ministers, Empress Wang, and Li Chengqi understood.
His Majesty regretted it, but he still valued Wei Zhigu.
Yao Chong was nervous, but he couldn't say anything.
"Yes, it's good to eat mushrooms. After a few days, the fungus and mushrooms in the Imperial Plantation will also grow. I've already discussed this with the supervisor of the Imperial Plantation."
"I'll teach him how to do it. Brother Wang will give me a portion of the fungus and mushrooms. If you guys want to do it, I'll teach you. Everyone should eat some fungus. It's good for the body. "
Li Yi also mentioned the Imperial Plantation from a medical point of view. He was afraid that the four of them would have other thoughts.
"Third brother, the current supervisor of the Imperial Plantation is Wang Xing. He's not bad. I've seen him a few times." Li Chengqi said. He was worried that the three Prime Ministers would cause too much trouble.
The four of them suddenly understood and agreed.
They put on a show, fighting openly and secretly. Li Yi was the only one who didn't know.
"Uncle, can mushrooms and fungus really be grown?" Empress Wang had heard of fungus growing before. Now that she saw that mushrooms could also be grown, she thought about it again.
She wanted to see if she could grow them in the harem. This way, the harem would have more income and everyone's lives would be better.
"Right now, only one type of mushroom can be grown. Monkey head." Li Yi said with a look of 'I'm not good enough'.
The three Prime Ministers and one Minister wanted to vomit blood.
Monkey head mushrooms were sold in the East Market of Chang 'an, but not in the West Market.
To buy a Monkey head mushroom, one needed to use a stick to weigh it. One tael was six hundred copper coins, so one tael was six thousand copper coins. One catty was nine thousand six hundred copper coins.
This thing could be grown? Then wouldn't you, Li Yi, make a fortune …
Fine, you, Li Yi, don't need to make a fortune with Monkey head mushrooms. You can just sell soy sauce.
Empress Wang reached out her hand. Li Yi didn't dodge. Wasn't it just tying up his hair again?
"Uncle, if you plant it, San Lang and I will plant it too." When Empress Wang heard that it was monkey head mushrooms, there was no need to think.
She had found a way to make a fortune. She could grow fungus and monkey head mushrooms. If the Imperial Plantation could grow them, why couldn't she?
The Imperial Plantation was hers.
"I think I can still eat one more bowl of rice. I won't eat anymore." Li Longji said.
He controlled his appetite and decided to listen to little brother Yi. Don't eat too much. Eat when you're hungry.
The others quickly finished the food on their plates. Only Li Yi still had a few mouthfuls left.
"Chew carefully and swallow slowly. When the food reaches the stomach, the stomach will squirm and the stomach acid will corrode the food. The finer the food, the faster the corrosion."
"Because the surface area exposed to the stomach acid is large, everyone usually eats porridge. The body recovers faster."
"You guys eat too quickly. The food is too big. When it squirms in the stomach, it will damage the stomach mucosa."
Li Yi patiently explained medical knowledge to everyone.
The three Prime Ministers and one Minister: "…"
They feel wronged. Don't we know that we have to eat slowly? But if Her Majesty finished eating, what would we do?
