Li Family Zhuangzi will provide cotton seeds. As long as the mulberry and hemp fields are changed to cotton, the Li Family Zhuangzi will buy them at a high price. "
"Selling newspapers, the Li Family Zhuangzi needs a large amount of cotton. They are willing to provide seeds for the people to plant."
"From today onwards, the people of the Imperial Magistrate will no longer need to provide cotton seeds."
"Big project, selling newspapers, the Imperial Magistrate's water network project has begun to recruit workers."
"The Ministry of Revenue will provide funds. The Ministry of Works will tender for the construction of roads and canals."
"The poor people will be given two options. The Ministry of Revenue will pay for repairs and new houses."
The Imperial Magistrate gave the order, but the effect was not obvious. The news had not yet spread out of Chang 'an.
The next morning, the newspapers began to report. Everyone in the Imperial Magistrate knew about it.
The Imperial Magistrate ordered that the mulberry and hemp fields should be changed to cotton. This way, those who had land would not be recruited.
Everyone else would not be recruited.
The Imperial Magistrate wanted to build a water network to make it easier for the people to farm.
The people were very happy when they heard the Imperial Magistrate's order, but they were hesitant to plant cotton.
When the Li Family Zhuangzi's request to plant cotton appeared, the people decided to plant cotton. They had to plant it now.
If the mulberry trees were cut down, cotton could be planted in the mountains. They would not plant hemp. They would listen to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"The people of the Imperial Magistrate would rather believe the Li Family Zhuangzi than the Imperial Magistrate."
When Yao Chong heard the news, his mood was not as good as yesterday.
His legs also hurt. He did not notice it when he was pedalling, but when he got home, he felt a little sore. Why did it hurt so much in the morning?
When he walked, his legs felt as if sandbags were tied to them.
The imperial physician ran over and massaged the legs of the officials from last night.
After the imperial physician left, Yao Chong felt that his legs hurt even more.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi has been providing the people with tangible benefits. Tangible money." Lu Huaishen expressed his understanding.
Li Yi had been maintaining a good reputation. If it were someone else, they would have found a reason to kill him.
Maintaining a good reputation in the Imperial Magistrate? What do you want to do?
Li Yi operated, but no one thought he was up to anything.
If he wanted to rebel, he could have done it a long time ago. Killing the entire royal family was a piece of cake for him. Even today, he could still do it.
"Repairing the canal is more important than repairing the road. If the river is connected, the road will be easier to repair."
Zhang Shuo did not care whether Li Yi's reputation was high or not. He was more practical.
When the river was being repaired, they were actually repairing the roads. Once the river was cleared, they would use ships, tools, and sand to repair the roads.
Outside, the Workers' Alliance was busy building ships.
Chang 'an had a well-developed water system, so there were many docks.
They had all joined different unions and were competing with each other.
At this moment, the person in charge of the Workers' Alliance came over with a new blueprint. Everyone was building the ship.
Big, medium, and small boats were made. The small boats were about twelve stones long and could accommodate six people.
When people wanted to travel to and from other places in the capital, it could be used as a passenger ship or a small cargo ship.
In addition, he also built a ship of about a hundred stones, which could be used for both people and goods.
Any more and the canal would not be able to support it. The depth and width were not enough.
It would take a long time to build a ship of a thousand stones, and it would take time. He did not expect to be able to use it this year.
But next year, the Yellow River would be able to sail, so it must be able to go into the water.
The whole capital office was busy. Those who did not participate in the cotton planting were doing odd jobs to help dig the canal, while the women picked tea leaves.
The Li Family Zhuangzi was still collecting tea leaves. Last year, they made a lot of money from tea leaves, but they were all shipped to other places.
Until now, no one knew how the tea leaves were made, but they knew how to make tea sets for Kung Fu tea.
"Badminton and gateball are very good. Li Yi always wanted to give money to other ministers, but he did not succeed. He made them and played them in the palace."
Li Longji heard that the ministers' legs hurt when they rode the boat yesterday, so he thought they lacked exercise.
Why didn't his and the empress' legs hurt? Usually, he would dance, and the empress' palace was full of joy every day.
He thought it was because they did not exercise often and should be organized.
And that table tennis, it was quite interesting.
The table tennis looked like it was played with a paddle on the table, but in fact, there was a lot of movement with the feet.
"Brother Yi, here is 6500 stones. It's a bonus for the frozen aquatic products in winter." Li Yi found Li Yi today.
Li Yi had just sent away 220 students to the Ministry of Personnel to take some tests and see if their appearance was qualified.
"You made so much money?" Li Yi never asked about the cooperation, nor did he receive any money.
Today was the first time he received money, 6500 stones. That was 6.5 million yuan.
The profit was more than 30,000 stones. I will give you 6500 stones. The rest will be divided among the brothers, and you will get most of it.
Li Chengqi said embarrassedly. In the past, he did not give Li Yi a share of the money, but his brothers got the money.
There was no other way. His brothers were poor, and the other four brothers also wanted to live a good life.
"Okay, I will take it." Li Yi did not refuse.
He did not think he suffered losses in the past. He took a lot of Watermelon Frost, Drunken Crab, and most of the cotton collected by Six Li Village.
"There will be more this winter. The navy will taste the sweetness." Li Chengqi saw Li Yi take the money and felt relieved.
"Navy generals cannot be given to any aristocratic family. They must master it and operate it according to the Winged Knights' model."
Li Yi did not look at the box of money and started to talk about the issue of generals.
"Some of them still need to learn, but they can master it. We will replace them next year. We will focus on promotion and nurture the people at the bottom and middle levels. "
Li Chengqi said honestly. The navy needs experience, and the people who want to be generals must learn it well.
Li Yi tore some scallion leaves with his hands, soaked them in soy sauce, and boiled 250kg of Baijiu.
"It is easier to build a new ship with medium ingredients. In summer or autumn, there is a way to preserve the taste of seafood."
Li Yi continued to come up with ideas. Making money.
He is willing to spend money, but it does not mean he does not want to make money.
"No hoof tendons? Just eat this? "Li Chengqi looked at the dishes and ran out to look for food.
He found the pig ears mixed with lamb tendons and cucumber and brought it back.
"It is not time for lunch yet." Li Yi meant that they should not eat too much. They should eat at noon.
"Just leave it there. It looks better than some scallion leaves. Where is the chili oil?" Li Chengqi wanted to look for it again.
"The small clay pot on the table. The chili oil should be planted in two days. Take it outside and plant it. Otherwise, it will not be enough for the villagers. They are already very thrifty. "
Li Yi pointed at the small clay pot on the table.
The chili oil was harvested one after another. He could not eat all of it. Other than the chili oil for his brothers, it was for the villagers.
Li Chengqi scooped some chili oil from the plate and dipped a hoof tendon in it. "How do we transport seafood in summer?"
"Soak it in oil. Cook the seafood, pour cooked oil on it and make it into canned food. The bamboo type will do." Li Yi took a sip of wine.
"Make a few for me to see. The goose boat is interesting. I am going to make more and put it on the merry-go-round."
Li Chengqi drank a mouthful of wine and ate scallion.
"You must let the tourists bring life-saving items. The small bamboo tube can be hung on their bodies. Or you can just put dry wood pieces in a net and tie them to their bodies."
Li Yi was indeed as the Prime Ministers had expected, emphasizing on saving lives.
"Brother Yi, can the new ship you built be used for naval battles? The kind that can run very far away. "
Li Chengqi nodded, indicating that he remembered. He still had problems with the life-saving equipment.
Li Yi poured wine for the two of them. "No, the waves at sea are strong and the wind is strong. It is not as good as sailing ships. Besides, the waves are too rough and the ship will easily get water. In the future, I will build a steam engine. "
