"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers. The Khitans have finally arrived at the Tang dynasty after going through untold hardships. They are here to learn and seek ways to develop the Khitans."
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers. The Khitans are in constant communication with the Tang dynasty. Bashui Li Family Zhuangzi and Li Dongzhu are willing to teach them personally."
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers. Understand the relationship between the Tang dynasty, the Khitans, and the Turks."
Early in the morning, the paperboys started shouting again, sending out and selling newspapers.
"No, we didn't." Yu Jiang was about to cry as he read the newspaper.
He found that the situation was not right. There was no such thing as coming to learn.
They were clearly looking for an opportunity to kidnap Li Yi or steal his technology.
The 390 people were better off dead. They were trouble if they were alive.
In the Honglu Temple in the imperial city, the Tubo and Turks were worried.
The Turks were worried. The Khitans and the Tang dynasty were getting closer, which was not good for them.
The Tubo were worried. If the Khitans and the Turks fought, the Turks would not have enough troops to deal with the Tang dynasty.
At that time, the Tang dynasty would be able to send troops to fight the Tubo. With new weapons, the Military forces of the Tang dynasty would be even stronger.
Looking at the newspaper, it was written that the Tang dynasty would soon confer titles to the leaders of the Khitans.
There were many Khitans. They might not agree to one, but how could they not agree to all of them?
The Tubo people went to find the Turks and asked them what to do.
The Turks had already sent people out with several newspapers.
It was winter and they did not know when they would arrive.
The Khitans' envoys in the Honglu Temple were even more panicked. They wanted to explain to the Turks.
However, before they could set off, the officials of the Honglu Temple found them and asked them to enter the palace.
"Arrange for the four of them to stay in a room. Give them tea and snacks. Don't let anyone come in contact with them. Do as Li Yi said."
Yao Chong personally gave the order. Last night, Li Longji went back to the Li Family Zhuangzi and came over in the morning to give them an idea.
Two hours later, Yao Chong sent people to deliver many gifts to the four Khitans as a reward from the Imperial Court before sending them back to the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
The Turks and Tubo people were waiting.
"What did you say?" the Turk asked impolitely.
The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads. One of them replied, "He didn't say anything. When he went over, he let us drink tea in a room. Then, he gave us something and we came back."
"Do you even believe your own words?" The Tubo people looked at him as if he were treating them like fools.
The four Khitans sighed helplessly.
They knew that they had been tricked. No matter how they tried to explain, there was still a gap between them.
"If the four of you go out now and announce that the Khitans want to attack the Tang dynasty, then we'll believe you," the Turk said.
"What kind of joke is this?" The Khitan looked at the Turks as if they were looking at a fool.
He didn't have the Book of the Prime Minister. How could he declare war with just his mouth? The Tang dynasty would directly arrest him and the others.
"Write a letter and send it back. Tell your people there that they are not allowed to accept the title of the Tang dynasty." The Tubo people changed their method.
"We can only explain the situation. We won't do anything else." The Khitans still refused.
They also had dignity. The Tubo people were so far away. What did it have to do with them?
If you have the ability, you can send troops from there to attack us. I'll tire you to death.
Seeing the Turks and Tubo people leave angrily, the four Khitans looked at each other.
They found that they could indeed reconcile with the Tang dynasty. It was a good opportunity.
The military force of the Tang dynasty was different from before. They had hot air balloons and gunpowder.
What if the Tang dynasty sent troops to attack them? His own people were arrested. Li Yi's mind was hard to figure out, but it looked good at the moment.
"Can we go to the Li Family Zhuangzi to see the arrested people?" a Khitan suggested.
"Let's apply." Another person had the same idea.
They went to the officials of the Honglu Temple and first applied to see the officials of the Tang dynasty. Then, through the officials of the Honglu Temple, they applied to Li Yi.
At lunch, they received a reply that they could.
They could choose the time and go whenever they wanted.
At lunchtime in the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi and 390 people went to the canteen to eat.
This place happened to be the place where the Winged Knights ate. There were no villagers eating at all.
"The soldiers are separated from the others. Soldiers eat a lot. When the villagers see others eating, they will eat until they are full."
Li Yi explained to the Khitan captives the knowledge of how eating with others affected people.
The Khitans nodded. They also found that they did eat a lot when they were with people who could eat a lot.
They looked at the dishes again. There were dozens of dishes, and they could take as many as they wanted.
One by one, they went to wash their hands. When they came back, they took a bit of the dishes and tasted them.
Li Yi was still at the same table as Bacharcha. He ordered three dishes: steamed pork with moldy vegetables, minced pork eggplant, and smashed cucumber. The main dish was rice.
There were two kinds of minced pork eggplant. One was stir-fried. The eggplant strips did not need to be oiled. The minced pork was stir-fried first, and then the eggplant was stir-fried. When it was about time, the minced pork was added.
The other kind was stir-frying the minced pork first. When it was done, the whole eggplant was cut in half. The minced pork was placed on top and then steamed.
Li Yi chose the second kind. The first kind was too oily. If the eggplant was oiled, it would be even more oily.
Of course, no matter which kind it was, a lot of garlic was needed.
Bacharcha had a lot of dishes on his plate. He took a bit of each dish. After he finished eating, he went to take the rest.
He could feel Li Yi's' goodwill '. Last night, they had gone to listen to him.
Some people quietly opened the door to take a look. They did not find anyone watching them.
They were completely moved. The Li Family Zhuangzi did not guard against them.
Li Dongzhu really did what he said. He was too magnanimous. No wonder people said that he was magnanimous and used virtue to win people over.
What they did not know was that their actions when they opened the door and poked their heads out, as well as what they said in the room, were all monitored and monitored.
The Winged Knights did not just eat in one place.
Sometimes, when they were tired from training, they would find a place to sit down and eat.
The adults and children in Zhuangzi would not eat more just because the Winged Knights ate more.
Li Yi was always on guard against them. For the sake of the international situation, he had to pay some price.
"Li Dongzhu, when do we start learning?"
Bacharcha tested to see if Li Yi really wanted to teach.
"Let's start after dinner. I'll let you plant soybeans. I'll teach you how to grow bean sprouts first. Each of you has a small pot. Follow the instructions.
In the future, after you plant beans, you can fry the bean sprouts. It'll be an extra dish.
Then I'll teach you how to grind soy milk and make tofu. I'll teach you how to separate the tofu from the soy milk and how to make it into tofu pudding … "
Li Yi spoke as soon as Bacharcha finished speaking. He even said a lot.
Bacharcha lowered his head and ate. He felt a little guilty. Look, even Li Dongzhu thought about it, but he did not believe it.
After dinner, Li Yi really taught 390 people how to grow bean sprouts. Each of them had a pot and a towel.
They soaked the beans, changed the water, and maintained the temperature.
The 390 people followed step by step like primary school students.
Then they put the pots under the bed in the room and waited to see them before going to bed at night. They changed the water and changed it again the next morning.
For them, this was their first time growing bean sprouts. It felt magical.
"After you learn how to process beans, I'll teach you how to hatch chicks and ducklings."
Li Yi was still so gentle and elegant.
