"That's great. Brother Yi, let your brothers bring the rich and powerful along. Others will naturally feel that there is a chance to meet them and get a membership card."
Li Longji thought of the reason why business was so good. The first day was to see the novelty, and later on, it would depend on the status of those people.
"Brother Yi's ability is heaven-defying. Yes, the money and 10% of the profits will go to Brother Yi."
Li Longji smiled. Now Brother Yi is sitting at home and making money.
"No, I can't let him be idle." Li Longji muttered again and thought of a good idea.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yao, Prime Minister Lu and Prime Minister Zhang are here." A eunuch ran in to report.
"Alright." Li Longji had no choice but to agree.
The three prime ministers came in with complicated expressions.
"Your Majesty, have you heard of the Spring Festival?" Yao Chong was the first to speak.
"Yes, Earthly Paradise, Revolving Restaurant, no curfew." Li Longji admitted. Yes, this is my business.
And I will let you know that I am very good at business.
In the entire Tang dynasty, other than me, who has the ability to make more than three million a day with a three-story restaurant?
"Your Majesty, we are not trying to persuade you. It's just that the three of us are embarrassingly short of money. We can't go even if we want to." Zhang Shuo explained.
Lu Huaishen nodded. Yes, we also want to take a look, but it's too expensive.
Li Longji was relieved. It's good that they are not here to cause trouble.
"Pick a day. I will ask someone to book a table for you. Put the money on me." Li Longji agreed.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to pay for the reservation?" Yao Chong was puzzled. Shouldn't his restaurant be free?
"It's not all mine. There are dividends and capital. The bill will be calculated separately. It's better to just pay and save the trouble." Li Longji gave a reason.
"Does Li Yi have a part in this?" Zhang Shuo asked.
He did not believe that His Majesty could suddenly think of such a way to make money.
"Yes! Li Yi has made a lot of good things. I will reward him with 10% of the profits. "Li Longji gave another reason.
The three of them understood. Such an amazing method in exchange for 10% of the profits. His Majesty is indeed His Majesty.
***
The whole first half of July in Chang'an belonged to Chang'an, but all the limelight was stolen by a restaurant called Heavenly World.
Its novel design, high price, and special power had become a hot topic for the people.
The prosperity of Chang 'an did not belong to Li Yi, even if he had 10% of the profits.
The autopsy room was his territory. Eunuch Wang Xing still helped him steal the cadaver. The two of them cooperated well.
Just as Li Yi was preparing to spend some time like this, a two-thousand-man cavalry appeared on the banks of the Ba River.
Each cavalryman had three horses. They crossed the Ba Shui Bridge, passed by Li Yi's Zhuangzi, and entered the Imperial Plantation.
The chickens and ducks in the Imperial Plantation immediately jumped up and down.
Li Yi and Zhuangzi's men were also puzzled. There were so many cavalrymen and horses.
The retired soldier's eyes lit up. The army, the army is here. I used to be a soldier too.
Li Yi was about to ask Wang Xing about it, to see what kind of team it was.
In the end, someone came to find him.
"Li Dongzhu, I'm here to see you." Gao Lishi smiled.
He was loyal to Li Longji. He was in a good mood when he learned that Li Yi's design had made a lot of money for His Majesty.
"So it's General Gao. Please take a seat. I'll make tea for you." Li Yi was not in a hurry to ask why he came again after he had just been here the day before yesterday.
"Okay, Owner Li, I'll be able to see you every day for the next few days." Gao Lishi did not stand on ceremony as he sat down and casually said.
"Do you want to stay? I'll ask someone to make a small courtyard for you. "Li Yi did not mind the trouble.
"I live in the Imperial Plantation. Aren't there two thousand cavalrymen? If they want to practice, I'll keep an eye on them for a few days." Gao Lishi spoke of his purpose.
"Are you talking about the Winged Knights?" Li Yi immediately thought of the cavalrymen he had urged to appear quickly.
"That's right. Her Majesty has selected two thousand talents from the various Subjugation Residences. I don't know much about training soldiers. I heard that Li Dongzhu has a lot of strategies. Can you help me to analyze them? "
Gao Lishi explained his purpose.
Li Yi was slightly stunned and nodded. "Let's discuss them together."
"That's good." Gao Lishi smiled with satisfaction. After completing the task, Her Majesty asked him to find Li Yi.
The two chatted for a while more before Gao Lishi went to the Imperial Plantation.
Li Yi opened the system. He did not need to worry about what the winged cavalry would practice.
They had their own system, and the Tang Dynasty would know where they stood. Moreover, they were very orderly, and their troops could advance like a forest.
He wanted to be in charge of the logistics and train the soldiers.
The soldiers in the logistics department were obviously not as strong as the main force. Furthermore, they were still infantry. They were carrying bags and driving carts to deliver things.
Fortunately, the Imperial Plantation was big. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
Smoke rose from the kitchen as the people in the logistics department cooked.
The chickens and ducks in the Imperial Plantation were chased to Li Yi's Zhuangzi by Wang Xing. He was afraid that they would be eaten by the soldiers.
The fungus and monkey's head mushrooms were still young, so he was not worried.
Li Yi went to the Imperial Plantation and looked at the food. It was all millet, which was boiled directly. Then, there was a big pot of lamb.
There was no other seasoning except for a little salt.
Even so, the main force and the people in the logistics department swallowed their saliva while waiting. It was obvious that they did not have many opportunities to eat meat.
Li Yi went back to his Zhuangzi and continued to organize the training plan.
"Li Dongzhu, do you have any good ideas after looking at it yesterday?" Gao Lishi came over early the next morning.
"I didn't look at the others in detail. Baggage's team is not good enough. I have some blueprints here. General Gao, find someone to make them."
Li Yi had already prepared and handed Gao Lishi a stack of papers.
There was a foldable military shovel. One side of the shovel could be used as a knife and the other side as a saw.
In addition to the military shovel, there was also a three-legged pot holder to hold the pot. Otherwise, they could only use the pot with its own legs.
Or they could have a separate pot, then dig out a pit and put it on to cook. That was what it meant to bury the pot to cook.
The multi-purpose military kettle set was made of copper. The threads at the mouth did not need to be controlled by craftsmen. They took it back to Zhuangzi and tapped it.
"It's not much copper, but it's not a problem. I believe that His Majesty has money." Li Yi knew that the restaurant was a high-end club with a royal background.
If the local officials wanted to come back to pursue progress, they would have to get a membership card.
There were also businessmen who did large transactions. Where would they go to eat? Where would they meet the nobles?
As expected, Gao Lishi did not mention that it would cost too much money. He continued to look at the blueprints.
Li Yi explained, "The cloth used by the logistics department is not good enough. The Tang dynasty's sailing ships use tung oil cloth, which is strong and waterproof. His Majesty's Winged Knights will use canvas where they bear the force."
Gao Lishi nodded to show that he understood.
"In addition, I see that many horses have not been nailed with horseshoes. Quickly install them. Too much training, serious wear and tear."
"There's a drawing of a knife inside, a small knife. I call it a military dagger. The back can be opened. Put strong silk thread, iron needle, and copper needle inside."
"If there's water but no meat to eat, use it to fish. If there's a wound, suture it. I'll teach you how to suture it."
"The number of horses is not enough. I require all logistics to have horses and carriages, instead of driving donkey carts and ox carts yesterday."
"Speed is the most important thing in war. The logistics department must keep up. Otherwise, will the money earned in Heavenly World be kept for future generations?"
Li Yi said one by one, and Gao Lishi sweated.
He was happy to hear that Heavenly World was so profitable before.
Listening to Li Yi's request, it seemed that Heavenly World was falling from the sky back to the earth.
"Don't worry about the money. His Majesty's private army is the enemy. Pull it out, rush forward, destroy it, and come back."
"There's no time this year. The craftsmen are busy. Next year, I'll look at new weapons."
"Yes, I remember something. The opening on the top of the riding boots should not be so big. If you want to carry things, you can use a backpack. Also, use canvas."
Li Yi complained. The opening on the top of the riding boots was big. Sometimes, things could be put in it. The inside of the sleeves of the robe could be put in the pockets. Boots could also be put in. Couldn't a backpack be carried?
