The program wasn't over yet.
There were crosstalks, skits, pantomimes, poetry recitals, solo musical instruments, small ensembles, and other dances.
The children of the Li Family Zhuangzi even performed a large-scale children's stage play.
The captives were woken up by someone. If they continued to kneel, they would fall sick. The ground was cold.
In the middle of the night, fireworks bloomed.
Some people couldn't take it anymore. They were so tired that they lay on the table and were sent to their barracks to rest by the Qianniu Guards.
At dawn, the program ended. The Li Family Zhuangzi delivered hot soup, steamed buns, and side dishes.
Buckets of hot water were brought over. Everyone went to the toilet, washed up, and ate.
The 'audience' from other places were each given a towel and a toothbrush.
After eating, everyone went back home.
They were energetic again. When they went back together, they talked about which program was better.
Those who did not go to watch the Li family's Zhuangzi's show were even more exaggerated about that scene.
There was no court meeting today. Li Longji held a small one. The main topic was the arrangement of officials in Leizhou, Qiongzhou, Zhenzhou, and other places.
In such a distant place, there was no competition for official positions. Li Longji could decide who would be the official.
Yao Chong listened to each name and found that they were all very capable people. Their official positions weren't high, but they were very efficient.
He was a little reluctant. He couldn't guess Li Longji's intentions.
In the past, he could observe people's expressions. He was similar to Gao Lishi.
He could roughly guess what Li Longji was thinking.
Recently, he was becoming more and more confused. What did he mean by throwing good officials to the south?
"I heard that last night, the Li Family Zhuangzi went out of the Water Curtain Sky Flower. I don't know how he did it, but he put people's figures on the water. He could go as far as he wanted and as close as he wanted."
Zhang Shuo told the two of them on the way back to the government hall.
Yao Chong coughed. "It's a small trick. It's not helpful to the big picture. What this old man saw was the Li family's farmstead supporting the meat skewers of more than 30,000 people. "
Lu Huaishen folded his hands in his sleeves. "That's right. This morning, he made a lot of steamed buns.
For more than thirty thousand people, the Li Family Zhuangzi provided meat skewers and charcoal during the day.
That night, some people finished making the buns and mixed the stuffing.
Wrap it up and steam it before dawn, and the soup would be easy.
It's much better than the mutton soup that Xie Xue provided for the Sixteen Guards. There's no need to eat skewers and steamed buns when fighting on the front lines. "
"Eh?" Zhang Shuo reacted.
That's right. The Li Family Zhuangzi's logistics were even better. How was this a performance on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It was clearly showing off.
Who was he doing this for? If serving the mutton soup once wasn't enough, he had to perform again.
"How did you make steamed buns so fast?" Wei Zhigu caught up from behind. He was now the Minister of Works and was willing to pursue skills.
"Did he figure out something new again? Was it for sale? Collect taxes. "Bi Gou appeared from the other side.
Bi Goo was in good spirits and did not look sick at all.
"Since last night, your Ministry of Revenue has collected more than 1,260,000 yuan in taxes in the first fifteen days of the New Year. It's time for you to allocate funds to my Ministry of Works."
When Wei Zhigu saw Bi Goo, he asked for money.
Bi Goo dodged to the side. "It's just that the New Year is special. After the New Year, we won't have that kind of money."
As he spoke, he looked warily at Yao Chong. Yao Chong was also the Minister of War. What would the Ministry of War do if they needed money?
"Why are you looking at me? I don't want to fight. I only want to be on guard." Yao Chong explained his strategy.
"Don't you need money to be on guard?" Bi Goo muttered.
"Have you figured out the method of releasing water into a glass to create a rainbow?" Lu Huaishen tried to smooth things over.
"Today, the Khitans invited Li Yi to perform. The Khitans bought 2,900 horses and 2,100 cows. They spent a lot of money. The Li Family Zhuangzi can't afford to raise them."
Bi Goo didn't want to provoke Yao Chong, so he changed the topic.
"He can't afford to raise the cows and horses he got from Yu Huaide's caravan. He gave them all away. Others only need to provide food." Zhang Shuo helped.
The topic completely changed. It was about what to do with the Li Family Zhuangzi's livestock.
Wei Zhigu found that it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Works, so he said, "Li Yi is deliberately helping the common people. He even wants to release the newly arrived cows and horses."
"Minister Yao, Minister Lu, Minister Zhang, Minister Wei, Minister Bi, Li Yi is here. He's outside the Imperial City. Prepare to receive the cows and horses."
A small yellow door ran over to find Yao Chong. When he saw the group, he shouted.
"Go go go, let's go take a look." Yao Chong had been thinking about how to create a rainbow. He had finally reached the crucial moment.
Under the protection of the guards, they arrived at Vermillion Bird Avenue outside the Imperial City. Many common people were watching.
The cows and horses were divided into two groups. They were lined up very far from Vermillion Bird Avenue.
Many of the common people were waiting for Li Yi to win and rent the livestock.
Li Yi sat on the shaft of the ambulance under the protection of the Winged Knights and Zhuangzi. He held a glass cup in his hand.
The glass cup was half filled with water. This cup was the one he had sent over, so the water had naturally been changed.
The foreign envoys stood there waiting. They wanted to see how Li Yi would operate it.
Li Yi placed the cup on the opposite side of the shaft and took out a violin.
"Shall I play a song for everyone?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Li Yi, rainbow." Isinba, who had been carried over, was not in the mood to listen to music.
"I know rainbow. Today's sun is good. I'll play a serenade for you."
Li Yi raised his head to look at the sun. The song he played had nothing to do with the sun.
Boqiao sneered, "Li! Dong! Zhu! If you can't do it, then the cows and horses won't be given to you. "
"I'll just play a few songs." Li Yi insisted on playing.
As he spoke, he played one song after another. He felt like he could not stop. His fingers were a little stiff. It was cold outside.
After more than an hour, everyone was getting impatient. Li Yi put down the violin and put his hands in front of his mouth.
He felt that it was not warm enough. He unbuttoned his down jacket and stuffed it into his arms.
After a while, he picked up the glass cup. The water inside had frozen.
He put his hands on it to warm it up. After a while, he put his hands in his arms to warm them up.
After a while, the ice in the glass melted. When he shook the glass, the ice moved with it.
He turned the glass upside down and took out the ice. He looked at it under the sun and processed the ice at the edge of the glass.
He changed the angle of the glass and put it in. He stretched his hand out horizontally. The glass with the ice was facing the sun. Different colors appeared on his hand.
"Look, is it okay? If it's okay, I'll put it down. It's too cold. "He continued to adjust the angle and told everyone.
The people who came closer to watch were speechless.
Yao Chong looked at it, closed his eyes, and opened them again. "Cut the ice to make a circle. Hold it up to the sun and use it as a shadow to create fire. Today, I'll use ice to create a rainbow. It's simple. "
He knew that a rainbow could be created by adjusting the angle of the ice.
But why didn't he think of it? He only thought about the water and the glass cup?
Bozhu and Isinba looked at each other with bitter faces. It was indeed simple. Why didn't they think of it?
They admitted it. There was no other way.
"Then I'll take the cows and horses." Li Yi was full of smiles.
"Li Dongzhu, our other competition …" Bozhu hurriedly brought up the important matter.
"Ah, I know you're not convinced." Li Yi interrupted them.
He shook the ice in the glass cup. "How about this, let's do it again. How about 50,000 coins? If you win, I'll compete with you immediately. If you lose, give me 50,000 coins.
It's still a glass cup and half a glass of water. If you're not allowed to freeze, how can you create a rainbow? Do you want to bet? "
Li Yi said the same thing about a rainbow and looked at the Tubo people. The Tubo people began to sweat.
