"Use mud and stone to build a four-story building. Will it be cold in winter?" After dinner, they went to the construction site again. Yao Chong asked about the situation.
"No. There are flue pipes, and we can add fireplaces. Originally, we wanted to build a door for two households. But after building, we realized it was too difficult. So, we decided to build a door for two households and one floor for each house. "
Li Yi felt uncomfortable when he talked about the situation.
There were problems during the construction. It was too difficult to mix the concrete.
They could only use bricks and cement. The construction speed was too slow.
Luckily, the villager did not want such a big house.
Li Yi changed it. The area was allocated according to the population. Each person had at least one house and a living room.
This way, the couple could have one more house and use it as a study room.
The villager had a study room because Li Yi wanted to open night classes.
He wanted to use Pinyin to replace Erya pronunciation.
Pinyin had 26 letters. The other methods required too many words, and it was more difficult to change the pronunciation.
Pinyin was the best way to learn quickly. If the villager wanted to learn more in the future, he could go back and learn.
The villager was willing to learn the names of the dishes in the canteen. He knew what words they were.
Li Yi grew up learning Pinyin. After that, he learned calligraphy, musical instruments, poems and ancient dictionaries to know how to change the pronunciation.
For example, the current number notation system had special simple symbols and did not need Arabic numerals.
Li Yi knew how to use it. But when he used it, he still used Arabic numerals.
He wanted the people in Zhuangzi to learn the same things as him. This was because he could teach quickly and had a complete system.
Li Yi thought a lot, but others thought more than him.
"I can understand the fireplace. There is no firewood for the fire. Do we use charcoal?" Lu Huaishen thought for a while and asked.
"Actually, there is a heater. It is made of iron. The boiler is placed high, and the pressure is enough. The heater is the floor heating." Li Yi introduced. It was uncomfortable to not have a heater in winter.
Last winter, Feng Yu was very uncomfortable. The firewall was incomparable to the heater.
He was prepared to use his lifespan to change the boiler. It was like changing the solar panels on the house.
His "hospital" needed electricity. There was electricity now, but no one knew about it.
It was better to use a boiler in winter than to use electricity for heating. Anyway, there was not much difference between the big and the small boiler.
Just like mineral water, large buckets were cheaper on average, while small buckets were more expensive.
Plastic bottles were expensive. A bottle of mineral water that cost one yuan at the wholesale price would cost more than thirty cents, and it would cost five to six hundred milliliters.
The cost of a ten liter bucket was more than one yuan.
The cost of the bottle was three times more, and the amount of water was twenty times more.
Li Yi wanted to exchange for a boiler as well, so he wanted to get two big guys, one for normal use and one for backup.
It could also save on charcoal and provide central heating.
He used the money he saved on firewood and charcoal to buy rice to make porridge. He could earn back the lifespan of the boiler.
"Li Dongzhu, let me ask you something. Why don't you use charcoal instead of charcoal poison?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"It's fine as long as you exhaust the smoke well. If the smoke flows backwards, you'll be poisoned by carbon monoxide just like burning charcoal. That's charcoal poison. I'll draw a simple diagram for you when we get back. You'll know when you see it."
Li Yi was still the kind of person who would answer any question that others asked.
"Li Dongzhu, if you put a brazier in the house during winter, how do you exhaust the smoke?" Wei Zhigu asked a very practical question.
"Make a standing furnace for heating and can also boil water. Make a furnace cylinder from thin iron. Connect the bamboo cylinder at the back where it's not hot. Save money."
Li Yi gave a solution and even thought about saving money for the other party.
"What kind of standing furnace?" Wei Zhigu asked. It seemed that he had to go home and make one.
"Mud is fine. I'll draw a diagram for you later." Li Yi recalled a diagram of a standing furnace in the house. He used it when he was young.
He also knew the diagram of a honeycomb coal stove, but he didn't want to use it. The smell of burning honeycomb coal was too bad.
It was better to use coal powder to make coal and then put it in a big standing furnace.
"Li Dongzhu, my stomach feels cold in winter. Can you tell me what's wrong with it?" Yao Chong talked about his body's problem.
"Eat carrots first. You know carrots, right? I told you before." Li Yi said.
"Yes, Lu Li." Yao Chong nodded.
"Li Dongzhu, my stomach feels like it's on fire. I asked … asked others. They told me to eat ginger. I ate it and I still feel uncomfortable." Zhang Shuo patted his stomach.
"Eat candied ginger slices. It needs to be cooked. I'll write a prescription for you. You can make it yourself." Li Yi gave a solution.
"Li Dongzhu, I have a grandnephew who always has a stomachache. Then I saw worms when he was defecating. The medicine I prescribed is not effective." Lu Huaishen said awkwardly.
"This … When we return to the courtyard, I'll give you some candy. You can feed the child." Li Yi prepared to exchange for insect repellent.
"Li Dongzhu …"
"Stop for a moment. Is this how you do it? Now that you've caught my Brother Yi, are you done? "Li Chengqi roared.
He didn't agree. Don't you know your own identity?
My Brother Yi is capable, but why should he help you? If you have the ability, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau or the Medicine Bureau.
The four of us took turns to ask. My third brother and I have never done this before.
Wei Zhigu was a little better as he promised Craftsman. But what about the other three?
The four of them suddenly woke up with a start, the kind that was horrified and frightened.
Then, they looked at Li Yi with a complicated expression.
They were recalling how many questions they had asked just now. It seemed that Li Yi answered every question directly.
Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and answered.
This … this …
The four of them panted carefully. It was too terrifying.
Li Chengqi curled his lips. Did you see a ruthless person?
If Brother Yi is not capable, why do you think my third brother always wants to come here to play?
And you guys, you all came to Zhuangzi. Who's in charge of the Political Affairs Hall now?
Li Longji squinted his eyes as if he was looking at a construction site.
Empress Wang snuggled up to him without saying anything, but her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.
The two of them were happy. In the Tang dynasty, in this dynasty, they finally met a peerless person.
This was given to them by the heavens. The heavens have recognized us.
"Li Dongzhu, are you going to take the imperial examination next year?" Yao Chong, who had regained his senses, asked.
"I'm not free. I'll be busy next year and the year after. Natural and man-made disasters are not the scariest things, but the human heart." Li Yi shook his head.
Then, he suddenly remembered something. "I can't take the imperial examination. First, I'm not a student, and second, I'm not a tribute. I have to find someone to get me a spot. "
Li Yi looked at his eldest brother and third brother. Find someone to help.
Students studied from primary school and then took the imperial examination.
Tributes were recommended by local authorities to take the imperial examination in Chang 'an in spring.
As for being a scholar, no one cared.
Li Longji turned his head. "Brother Yi, when do you want to take the imperial examination? I'll help you find someone to set up a subject."
"Yes, set up a subject and select only scholars." Zhang Shuo supported.
What he meant was to set up a temporary imperial examination for Li Yi.
The subject was also called Chang 'an and was fixed tomorrow.
The subject was also set up temporarily and was considered a special subject.
Being a scholar was even more difficult than being a grand scholar. The questions were harder to set and there was a need for someone above.
It had never been set up for a scholar before.
Today, he felt that it was possible.
Lu Huaishen, Wei Zhigu, and Yao Chong nodded their heads in agreement.
As long as Li Yi wanted to take the imperial examination, he could take the imperial examination at any time.
Actually, there was no need to take the imperial examination. Everyone could just drink together.
Otherwise, if someone like you took the imperial examination, wouldn't you be squeezing out a top scholar? Wouldn't that be unfair to others?
They didn't have any opinions on whether Li Yi would take the imperial examination or not. It was just a formality.
