"Brother Yi, I'll have to trouble you to cook three meals a day." Li Longji thought for a while and still requested.
"It doesn't matter if it's troublesome or not. Third Brother will send someone to get it." Li Yi didn't hate cooking. He was also very willing to show his knife skills.
"Sister-in-law, don't eat the spicy sauce." Li Yi stopped Empress Wang from eating the spicy sauce.
"Is it sour and spicy?" Empress Wang suddenly thought of this.
"No, it has nothing to do with the gender of the woman. It's a man's problem. It's just that the spiciness of this chili sauce is destructive. It will affect the gastrointestinal tract and … "
Li Yi didn't say anymore. He couldn't say it.
Now that she ate too much spicy food, her uterus was also affected. Explaining it was a systematic medical problem, but it was too difficult to translate it into something that everyone could understand.
Empress Wang pushed the small jar of chili sauce in front of Li Longji. She didn't eat it.
She carried chili sauce with her everywhere. Zhuangzi's canteen didn't have it, let alone other places.
"Congratulations, Third Brother. Congratulations, Sister-in-law." Li Chengqi was also happy. The Empress had a child in her belly.
Li Longji narrowed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of happiness.
As long as the Empress had a child, the pressure left behind could be withstood.
The child of the Wei Clan and the Wu Clan.
Even if it was a princess, it would at least prove that the Empress could bear children.
Divine Doctor, Brother Yi's medical skills are amazing.
Back then, Brother Yi said that it might not be possible to only take medicine, but now it's possible to take medicine.
That is to say, even if medicine doesn't work, Brother Yi still has a way.
The Shangyao Bureau, the Imperial Physician Bureau, you people, including the doctors, do you know what medicine is?
Li Longji almost asked Li Yi: Who do you dislike? I'll help you kill them.
"Uncle, San Lang and I will stay here tonight. Can I eat the black fish?" Empress Wang was now on tenterhooks. She was afraid that she would eat something bad.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. You can eat it. I will cook different dishes in the future." Li Yi promised.
He was going to cook according to the recipe. There was no need to say how many dishes there were in the recipe.
In order to protect a new life, all efforts were worth it.
Then he added, "The weather is hot, sister-in-law should eat more fruits. Third Brother and Eldest Brother, there are many fruits in the south, such as bananas. You can ask the locals to make them dry and slice them. You can eat them now, but you must cut them down and transport them quickly."
Li Yi knew that the current logistics were not very good. Even when the bananas were green, they still needed to be fast.
"Brother Yi, can cold melon be made into dried fruit?" Li Chengqi thought of watermelon.
"I can grow cold melons in winter, just like cucumbers. I can grow cold melons that can't be grown in hot springs." Li Yi said.
Li Longji and the other two believed that if Brother Yi said it was possible, then it would definitely be possible.
After dinner, the four of them strolled outside.
Only then did Li Longji remember the important matter.
"Brother Yi, how can we settle the matter of Tubo?" he asked.
He didn't even want to ask the Prime Minister this question. He had already asked too many times, but it was useless.
In fact, Li Longji's guess was not wrong.
Tubo followed the Tang Dynasty all the way, and the Tang Dynasty could not do anything to Tubo. Even if they won a few battles, it was useless.
"Third Brother, do you want to share the burden of the imperial court?" Li Yi's first consideration was the performance of the imperial family.
"Yes." Li Longji was very honest. Not only for the imperial court, but also for himself.
"We need a real army that can fight. If you can get in touch with it, persuade His Majesty to form the Winged Cavalry as soon as possible, especially the Winged Knights."
Li Yi had told Li Longji.
Li Longji did not forget and asked, "Do we choose from the aristocratic families or from the House of Subjugation?"
"House of Subjugation, there are many soldiers in the House of Subjugation. They wear armor in wartime and farm when there is no war. Their weakness is that they are illiterate. We have to choose people who don't only have one child in the family."
Li Yi proposed to pick soldiers from the local area. The aristocratic families would not do. In the end, the army would be controlled by the aristocratic families.
Now that the country was under the heavens, the aristocratic families only cared about their families.
"And then?" Li Longji decided to ask clearly once and for all.
"Then we will give them money. Give them a lot of money. If they die in battle, we will give them a pension. Their family will be exempted from at least ten years of rent. As for that transfer, we should still do as I said. Remove it and then hire them using business tax."
Li Yi emphasized his words.
"Mm!" Li Longji signaled for him to continue.
"When the soldiers are injured, we will arrange jobs for them. We will also not collect rent. The food of the new soldiers must be good. All the weapons and horses will be paid for by His Majesty. "
Li Yi gestured. The current Emperor, Li Longji, needed the strongest army that belonged to him.
When he heard that he would have to use his own private savings, Li Longji became depressed. He still preferred to use the imperial court's money.
"Brother Yi, how many people do you need? How much? "Li Longji asked carefully.
"Fifty thousand. Remove the useless soldiers from the other prefectural troops and let them farm and pay rent to raise the new soldiers."
If Li Yi did not make any changes, a large number of soldiers would escape in the future, and there would be more hidden families appearing.
"Is fifty thousand enough?" Li Chengqi frowned.
Li Yi knew that there were 120,000 cavalrymen in history. However, they were not raised well and became useless.
Since he was asked to come up with an idea, he naturally had to consider the matter of money.
Therefore, he said, "We can't afford too many cavalrymen. Each cavalryman needs three cavalrymen. That's 150,000 horses. Let's give it a try with 10,000 cavalrymen first. Otherwise, His Majesty will have no money. "
Li Longji was angry. Ten thousand cavalrymen, three cavalrymen per person, plus bows and crossbows. What would he use to raise them?
No, there were crossbows and horses ready. What he needed was to feed the cavalrymen and horses.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Yi, "Brother Yi, why do you want His Majesty to pay for it?"
"Because this army is to deal with the existence of the Tang dynasty. His Majesty must have the most loyal troops.
After the soldiers are formed, throw them to the Tubo border and let them attack and harass Tubo.
After some casualties, they will become stronger and recruit new soldiers. The veteran soldiers will lead the new soldiers. When the number is large, they will take turns to fight. "
Li Yi was in a bad mood when he said this. People would die in a war. It was not a cold data, but a life.
He worked so hard to survive. He put himself in other people's shoes.
Li Longji, Li Chengqi, and Empress Wang had experienced a lot and were numb to it.
Therefore, Li Longji did not care about the death of soldiers. He did not know who to ask to train, so he asked casually, "Brother Yi, do you know how to train soldiers?"
"Yes!" Li Yi instantly thought of countless training methods, the most important of which was political and ideological education.
The method of the People's Liberation Army was good. He had not seen the People's Liberation Army in a war, but he had seen the figures of the People's Liberation Army during disaster relief.
"The method of making banana slices is good. Brother Yi, write down how to do it." Li Longji changed the topic in an instant again.
"Okay, I will write it down. It is easier to make dried fruit than candied fruit and the cost is lower." Li Yi changed the topic.
Li Longji took Empress Wang to rest. Nothing was more important than the child in Empress Wang's stomach now.
Li Yi of course began to write something. After that, he would write about the banana slices.
Li Chengqi wandered around the construction sites in Zhuangzi. A cement and brick building was almost finished. There were four units, and each unit had eight households.
The people in Zhuangzi were waiting. The building was big. According to the craftsmen, there was an outside corridor on the side facing the sun. They could go upstairs through the outside stairs.
The holes were left when the building was built. The iron pipes were brushed with tung oil and connected. It was said that there was no heating in winter.
