"Look, I got something good from Xiao Yi again."
Bi Goo asked his followers to carry two bamboo blinds. He didn't return to the Ministry of Revenue, but went straight to the Political Affairs Hall.
Wei Zhigu was in the Political Affairs Hall. He didn't want to come before.
As a former Prime Minister, he was in a bad mood when he returned to the Political Affairs Hall. He felt even worse when he saw Yao Chong.
Now he was used to it. Let him come. Anyway, Yao Chong's words were not as effective as the one outside.
Now that you've taken me down, you're going to have all the power?
Wei Zhigu came to ask for money. He knew that Li Yi bought land in Huazhou and Tongzhou.
Since they needed water, they should build a water network.
The Ministry of Works would be in charge, the Imperial Court would pay, and the local economy would be stimulated.
As soon as Bi Goo came in, everyone looked at him and the things his followers were carrying.
"Long Ze is here?" Wei Zhigu was very enthusiastic. He needed money to build a water network and also to cancel the harmony of the two neighboring provinces.
He saw Li Yi's plan and decided to help.
The capital government canceled the harmony, but it didn't reduce the income. The people would find work that suited them.
The Imperial Court's overall income in the capital government increased because of the tax. This was a special economic model.
Wei Zhigu admitted that he couldn't understand it all at once. He also admitted that Li Yi wouldn't cheat the Tang dynasty.
Bi Goo was vigilant. Why did he call him by his courtesy name? Why did Wei Zhigu come to the Political Affairs Hall?
"Ah." Bi Gou replied with a single word, neither cold nor warm.
"Bi Goo, I have an idea." Wei Zhigu didn't care about Bi Goo's attitude. It was more important to do business.
"Don't tell me. We are both ministers." Bi Goo refused to listen.
"Okay, I'll talk to Li Yi." Wei Zhigu turned his head. He didn't want to talk to Bi Goo.
"Zhigu, tell me. As long as the Ministry of Revenue can help, we will help." Bi Goo compromised.
He couldn't ask Wei Zhigu to look for Li Yi. Li Yi always caused big trouble.
"I'll look for you at the Ministry of Revenue later." Wei Zhigu was satisfied.
"Xiao Yi has figured out a blind for everyone to see." Bi Goo began to introduce the window.
Hang it up, pull the rope, and adjust the angle.
"It can block the sun and let in the wind. There are no mosquitoes during the day. Take down the screen outside. Even if you sit by the window, it won't be so hot in the office."
Bi Goo demonstrated it a few times and pointed out the advantages.
"Xiao Yi is really smart." Lu Huaishen was still used to praising Li Yi. He knew that once the things were out, his house would be equipped very quickly.
He still had the shares, and the cotton candy would continue to be sold. Even if others learned from him, the Heavenly Earth Cotton Candy would still have an income.
What was even more amazing was that Earthly Paradise told him that there was a new product that needed to be reinvested with his dividends, and he still had shares.
"Luxury goods?" Zhang said, deliberately mentioning this word.
"No." Bi Goo was instantly disappointed. He found a seat and sat down. Zhang Shuo poured tea for him personally.
"Long Ze, why did Li Yi think of giving you this thing?" Yao Chong wanted to ask the reason.
"He was an escapee from Zhuangzi. No, he called them migrant workers. After finishing the work for him, he rearranged the men to make cement and the women to make the blinds."
Bi Goo always wanted to say that those people were escapees. Escapees were not only derogatory, but also sinful.
Li Yi didn't call them that. He called them migrant workers. Even so, Li Yi still wanted to call them migrant workers.
He was disgusted with the word "migrant workers". Construction workers were construction workers. Why did it have to overlap with the special discriminatory word "migrant workers"?
Some construction workers were not rural registered permanent residents.
Li Yi didn't like migrant workers either. He wanted to call those people mobile freelance workers.
During the census, the Bureau of Statistics would not call them migrant workers, but fixed population and mobile population.
Yao Chong didn't care about the name problem. He personally operated the blinds.
"It's useful. Li Yi found new jobs for them. Li Yi called it employment opportunity. It should not be expensive. It's easy to learn. "
Yao Chong never gave up learning. He was trying to understand Li Yi's new vocabulary and operating methods.
For those without farmland, Li Yi arranged long-term jobs for them, which meant large-scale work.
Li Yi bought things through the Li Family Zhuangzi for those who did have farmland.
Finding jobs for tens of thousands of people, and at the same time, the Li Family Zhuangzi could make money. This was the best part.
Yao Chong always thought that if there was someone like Li Yi in every state of the Tang dynasty, Tubo would have been destroyed long ago.
There were also Khitans, Bohai, Turks, Abbasid Caliphate. They were all from the Tang dynasty.
The Southwest barbarians were the people of the Tang dynasty. There would be no accidents.
"Do you all want it? This old man will learn from the Workers' Alliance. "Bi Goo decided to be generous for once and buy blinds for everyone.
"Li Yi will give it to us in two days." Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry. He was used to it. If the Li Family Zhuangzi had something good, Li Yi would give it to him.
"Li Yi bought a large piece of land and finally stopped. Making blinds. Very good. I hope that Li Yi will take out something small every few days."
Lu Huaishen prayed. As long as Li Yi kept putting things out, there would be no big problems.
The most frightening thing was that Li Yi had not made any moves for a long time. When he made a move, everyone would be caught off guard.
Bi Goo packed up and left. Wei Zhigu followed to discuss the issue of setting up a water network around the capital office.
It was now July. According to Li Yi's calendar, the first day of the seventh lunar month was the 28th day of the seventh lunar month.
It just did not rain. The people who had a lot of land hired servants to help them suppress the water.
The water network had not been fixed yet. The people had completed the small ditches around the well.
The children did not know the worries of the adults. They found it very interesting when they helped suppress the well.
Especially the children who did not go to school. They were willing to play with the adults by the well at night.
The Workers' Alliance's drilling team never stopped. There was no Ministry of Works to pay them now.
The Workers' Alliance volunteered to help the people drill. The people helped.
"Brother Yi, the drought this year is very bad." Li Longji felt uncomfortable in Xingqing Palace. Empress Wang took the children to sleep. He found another woman to do it.
Then he did not sleep there. He ran to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The weather was not only hot. If it was hot at night, there could be ice to cool it down. The key was that it was stuffy.
"It will be the same next year." Li Yi handed over a popsicle.
Popsicles were the trend in Zhuangzi. They did not eat shaved ice. It was too tiring.
"Eat this for two days first. When I make the equipment, we will eat ice cream. It needs to be soaked."
Li Yi wore a cotton singlet and trousers and sat by the artificial pool in the yard.
He did not want the air conditioner, but he did not want anyone to help him.
In fact, he could get a fan. He had electricity.
He knew that there would be a drought next year. The Li Longji in history did not return from Luoyang.
In history, Tubo was defeated in Songzhou. The Tujue's Mochou died. The Tujue had internal strife. Many tribes relied on the Tang dynasty.
Then, the Tang dynasty's Guanzhong region suffered two consecutive years of bad harvests. It was not easy for the international situation to change, but it was delayed because of this.
Looking at the information, one would find that the Tang dynasty was not easy. Even God was not helping.
Li Longji bit the popsicle and frowned.
He did not know the history. He only needed to believe in his Brother Yi.
Brother Yi said that there would be a drought next year.
Otherwise, why would Brother Yi build a water network? And so many wells.
This year, the wells were barely enough. Next year, the water network would solve the problem.
Every time there was a natural disaster, Brother Yi would plan ahead.
"Brother Yi, are you going to sell blinds? Is it a profitable business?"
Li Longji did not talk about mysterious things. He talked about normal things.
"It's profitable. Old Bi always wants to make money from me. I will not let him be happy." Li Yi smiled.
