"Brother Yi, the tussah silkworm looks scarier than the bean worm." Li Chengqi realized that eating it required a strong mental fortitude.
The tussah silkworm had thorns on its body like a caterpillar and was bigger in size.
It looked scarier than the bean worm. Can this thing be eaten?
"Brother Yi, I want to pray to Buddha recently." Li Chengqi took a deep breath and said.
"What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing. So let's eat worms to celebrate." Li Yi looked as if he had found a confidant.
"Brother Yi, it's really hard to swallow." Li Chengqi was convinced. Let's eat something else. Also, Li Shihuo, you've already lost your life. Go and die.
"You can't eat this. You should have eaten the silkworm moth before. It's a tonic. The medicine shop and the palace have it." Li Yi mentioned something else.
When the big worm spins silk to form a cocoon and the cocoon breaks, the moth's wings will be pinched off and cooked into porridge.
Li Chengqi was stunned. After a few breaths, he said, "Is that so?"
"Brother, you didn't catch up with the famine era. People eat tree bark and grass roots. If there's a worm, everyone will fight for it."
In the past, Li Yi could not eat, he would look for pictures of the place where the refugees lived.
When he saw that it was not easy for those people to eat, he instantly felt that his food was delicious.
At this moment, he did not have pictures, so he said it with his mouth.
"Okay, go ahead." Li Chengqi thought carefully and found that it made sense. If one was hungry, they could even eat soil, let alone worms.
Moreover, this worm eats the leaves of the tussah tree. It's not dirty.
"It won't eat it, right? It will squeeze out the worm's innards and only eat the skin. Just like my Li Family Zhuangzi … "
"Brother Yi, I know that you eat toads mouth to mouth. But the worm eats the tussah tree leaves. Can the leaves be eaten?"
Li Chengqi understood. In Brother Yi's Zhuangzi, anything that others think is inedible can be eaten.
"It's in the 92nd medical book I wrote. It's about medicine. When I wrote the 200th book, I promised to rest for a month.
When I went to Luoyang, I was writing it. Someone even charged me secretly. How did they promise me? "
Li Yi brought up old scores. Back then, he said that if he learned his medical books, he would treat patients for free.
If there were doctors who could prescribe more medicine, they would need more money to see a doctor.
If you want money for treatment, no problem. You can pay the tuition fee.
Don't you have to pay tuition fees to attend medical school? Oh, yes, the top scorer of the college entrance examination.
If he couldn't reach that level, he would have to pay and become a doctor to earn money.
Weren't textbooks precious? Learning knowledge but not doing anything?
"Is there such a thing? It's up to me. Either you don't learn it, or you have to do it. "Li Chengqi frowned.
Now that he was on the side of the people, it was only right for him to charge for the medicine.
It wasn't a problem for him to charge for treating illnesses, but he had promised that he wouldn't charge for learning new knowledge. Why would he still charge for it?
Thus, the green worm was first put in some salt and water, then blanched and stir-fried.
Li Chengqi ate six of them. He realized that if he didn't consider the appearance of the insects, the insects now were very delicious.
Especially when it was fried together with chili, there was a lot of oil and it tasted delicious.
"This thing is not bad to raise." Li Chengqi's previous frightened look disappeared, and he wanted to eat a lot.
"Artificial. Silkworms are silkworms. They are fed at home and go outside to pick their leaves. Tussah silkworms were wild silkworms that were placed on trees outside.
I chopped down a lot of mulberry trees in the mountains of Henan Prefecture and planted them with dwarfs.
If you want to raise tussah silkworms on a large scale, you also have to dwarf the tussah trees. They are about the same height as cotton seedlings, but a little taller is fine.
The key is that if you raise them outside, there are many things that eat them, such as birds and other insects. You can't inject them with medicine, otherwise, they will be poisoned to death. "
Li Yi didn't want to raise them in the capital office. The Khitans were good.
The capital office didn't plant many tussah trees, and the people there were busy. Unless outsiders came to raise them.
Then why bother? Just to eat insects?
The two of them ate the insects and talked about the people's livelihood.
Shan Wuwei, who was rejected by Li Yi, ate at Xingfu Temple in Xiude Fang, which was next to Fanglin Garden. He ate meat but no wine.
There was also a fried bean worm in front of him, but he didn't eat it. He just looked at it.
While he was looking at it, his face was calm. After he finished eating, he asked the people around him, "Who can persuade Li Yi? The Emperor of the Tang dynasty refused to introduce me to Li Yi. "
"I heard that Li Yi likes cows and horses. Also, the rich businessmen in Chang 'an know Li Yi." The attendant collected some information.
He said that he only needed to send something to Li Yi. Li Yi was usually very easy to talk to.
"What about the others?" Shan Wuwei shook his head slightly and refused to send something to Li Yi.
Sending something to his door was lowering his status.
Just as Li Yi thought, he planned to print the scriptures in color, preferably with pictures.
The pictures on the exchange coupons were complicated, and there were pictures in the newspapers occasionally.
Shan Wuwei liked it. He thought it would be better to use it for publicity and wanted to get in touch with Li Yi.
He didn't expect that others respected him, but when it came to the Li Family Zhuangzi, he couldn't even cross the bridge.
The attendant went to agree. Those who didn't know didn't know the situation, and those who knew kept it a secret.
Shan Wuwei, who had lived for eighty years, couldn't help but be curious. What was going on?
"Go and say that I have a way to benefit the people. Only those who have the same heart can learn it." Shan Wuwei thought of another way.
He was actually quite regretful. He hoped that Li Yi would meet him. That way, it would be easier to communicate.
On the fourth day of the eighth lunar month, the news spread that there was a way to be kind and fearless, and that only the fated person could obtain it.
Shan Wuwei was not alone. He had many fans.
He went to one country after another. Even Tubo gave him face, and the Tang Emperors also gave him face.
Naturally, there was his personal charm, but the most important thing was his wisdom.
For example, those School of Vertical and Horizontal Maneuvers could make people send troops or withdraw their troops just by talking.
In addition, Shan Wuwei was good. He gave people a solemn feeling. When others saw him, they thought he was good. This was called the halo effect.
The simplest example was that a man's handsomeness and a woman's beauty were only one step behind in terms of talent.
Of course, at Li Yi's time, many people agreed that he was rich and thought he was a good person.
When the news reached the Li Family Zhuangzi, Song De deliberately went to Li Yi. "Dongzhu, I feel that you are the fated person who cares about the people."
"Really?" Li Yi smiled. "Shan Wuwei is a person. How should I say it? In the early stage of Kaiyuan, the Tang Dynasty restricted Buddhism because of money."
"Yes, but his Buddha is different from other Buddhas." Song De nodded to show that he understood.
"Every kind of Buddhism has restrictions. The news had reached his ears, and he had come at just the right time. He represented a faith force.
The people of the Tang Dynasty believed in many things. Although Buddhism was restricted, it was just to get rid of some unqualified people.
The temples and temples in each square were not sealed. The people still had to burn incense.
Before Shan Wuwei came, the news reached them first. Many people were waiting. What could His Majesty do? "
Li Yi rationally analyzed the situation. Why did Li Longji have to welcome him in person? It was not a dream.
Shan Wuwei himself was an important person. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to be on good terms with the Western Regions and India, he was a bridge.
This was a political exchange, not a simple matter of sending scriptures.
Could the Tang Dynasty restrict Buddhism? There were so many people who believed in it.
Shan Wuwei stayed behind. The restrictions on Buddhism began to loosen. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty prepared to increase its contacts with the surrounding countries.
Shan Wuwei as a link reflected his importance.
