On October 25th, it began to snow heavily.
The houses in the south of Chang 'an could be moved in today. The people living in shacks didn't care if it was snowing or not. They moved.
Looking at the situation, they would die in their new houses even if they were to be stabbed.
"They can't even wait a day." Li Yi came to see the moving in person.
Li Longji was in Li Yi's ambulance. He wanted to see the last place where the people were settled in.
When the people in the south and west of the city moved into their new houses, there wouldn't be a single person in the entire capital who couldn't live in a house.
The houses of the people in the 20 counties were all refurbished. The Ministry of Revenue paid for new houses in the villages with poor economic conditions.
Li Longji knew that outside the capital, there were still people who didn't have a good life.
But he wasn't afraid. He had been working hard. One day, he could let the people of the entire Tang dynasty live a comfortable life.
"With the help of the 16 guards, there won't be any delays." Li Longji had a smile on his face.
He wasn't smiling because the 16 guards were helping the people, but because he had more control over the army.
Two years ago, if he wanted the 16 guards to sweep the snow, the soldiers of the 16 guards would resist, and the ministers would persuade them with all kinds of reasons.
Many times, right or wrong wasn't important. What was important was the struggle and compromise.
Now, he could do whatever he wanted. The 16 guards could do anything and were very active.
There was no other way. There was a 30,000-strong Winged Knights next to him. If any guard didn't listen to him, they would probably be dismissed.
Outside, each of the 16 guards sent out some people to do the work. It wasn't hard to be sent out. Everyone fought to be sent out. In the end, it had to be decided by drawing lots.
The reason for this was because of Li Yi's idea.
When the 16 guards worked, each of them had a file. On it was written who participated in what in a certain year, month, day, and situation.
For example, right now, it was about who participated in sweeping the snow and helping the people move. This was called public welfare.
In the future, when they were going to be evaluated for a title, no, they were going to be tested and prepared to be promoted, everything was the basis for consideration.
Who was promoted needed to be announced and told everyone why the person was promoted.
Whoever wanted to get in through the back door would be opposed when it was announced.
He was not there when they were sweeping the snow. He was not there when they were moving. He was not there when they were patrolling the Li Family Zhuangzi. What right did he have?
The superiors also had to remember who performed well when they were working, and then everyone would look at them.
'There's someone slacking off beside me. I'll take note of his excellent performance. If this doesn't work, I'll report him.
In order to be promoted, in order to receive more gifts from His Majesty during the New Year …
Wrong again. It was for their mother's smile, for the harvest of the earth. The people of the sixteen guards exploded with absolute passion.
Old men and old women who had trouble walking were directly carried by the Sixteenth Guard.
The furniture was in a mess, tied together, and the two of them walked quickly with poles in their hands.
"Put me down. You don't have to carry me," an old lady shouted.
"Auntie, it's okay. I have the strength." His face was full of smiles.
"I want to take the Li Family Zhuangzi's car. Put down my bathtub and don't carry it around. What if it falls? Put it in the car."
The old lady became anxious and shouted loudly.
"Okay, put it down. Auntie, actually, it's better to carry it." The person of the Right Golden Guard had no choice but to squat down.
He wanted to show off, but how could the Li Family Zhuangzi not consider the transportation problem when moving?
The Li Family Zhuangzi sent a large group of cars. The things were put in the cars, and those who had trouble walking also took the cars.
The young man followed them for five miles, and they arrived at their destination. It wasn't far.
Li Yi's car drove slowly. It was a long distance from the east to the west of the city.
Other than Guo Ziyi, who was in charge of driving the car, there were no other guards around.
"We still need to find a coal mine. Now everyone likes to burn coal." Li Longji felt that there was not enough coal and mines.
Since the invention of the heated kang bed and the indigenous method of coking appeared, the people and smelting needed coal.
Fortunately, the people used coal to save face.
However, without water washing, the quality of the coal was a bit worse, and the coal slurry was big when it was transported.
"I'll give you a few more locations. Open pit mines. Sometimes they're covered with a layer of soil. They're even used for farming."
Li Yi was not worried about coal. There were many open pit mines in Shaanxi, and there were even more in Shanxi.
Li Yi was not prepared to take out coal mines that were less than five hundred meters deep. Coal mines that were five hundred meters deep and shallower were also deep.
Even coal mines that were a hundred meters deep were difficult to dig, and they needed to dig a mine.
Digging a mine was dangerous, so it was better to dig a little bit from the ground and spiral down irregularly.
Everyone was always at the top, so there was less danger.
Li Longji was still so calm: "But, Brother Yi, the Li Family Zhuangzi can use whatever you want."
Li Longji could not give Li Yi any other benefits, but Li Yi could give Li Yi priority to use the mine for free.
The coal slurry in the coal mine was not valuable, so the people had to transport it themselves. The coal needed to be bought, but the Li Family Zhuangzi could still use it for free.
"Third Brother, use the fire fighting vehicles and dig a well next to the coal mine. Then we can wash the coal manually."
Li Yi wanted to improve the quality of the reef and use it to smelt good steel, so he could only wash the coal.
Put the coal in a big pot and stir it. Then, with a scoop, you can distinguish the good coal, the coal slurry, and the rest of the coal slurry.
The coal that the Li Family Zhuangzi transported back had a lot of coal slurry, so it could not be seen if it was not washed.
The Li Family Zhuangzi had to wash it himself, but it was not worth it.
Other people would waste time washing it, but the villagers would do it and delay things.
"Do you need manpower?" Li Longji did not consider the difficulty of washing the coal. What kind of work would not be tiring?
He was thinking about the problem of employment. Washing the coal obviously required manpower.
"A lot of manpower. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The texture of the palms is full of coal and there are cracks.
However, normal places do not need it, only Zhuangzi uses it, so the wages are higher and the benefits are better.
It is too wasteful for the villagers to wash the coal. Let other people do it. Zhuangzi will pay for it. If there is a smelting place that needs good coal, I will also pay for it. "
Li Yi knew that for the common people, coal slurry did not matter. If it could not be burned, then it was not burned. Once it was burned, it could be taken out from the stove.
Zhuangzi could not do it, because Zhuangzi was smelting steel.
"Good, recruit people from further away. They will go to the coal mines to wash the coal. Bring their families to wash the coal and send their children to Chang 'an government school."
Li Longji knew where to recruit people. The living standards were low, especially those who did not have land.
No matter how hard it was to wash the coal, their livelihood was guaranteed and their children were taken care of.
Li Yi nodded: "Third brother's idea is good. The capital government can no longer find people to wash the coal. We will get them from outside."
"In the future, there will be fewer people shaking the coal and making the coal. Brother Yi, you always give us some work to do."
Li Longji seemed to be complaining, but in reality, he was happy.
If there were fewer people working, it meant that there was more work to do. If there was no one in the local area, people from outside would come over. As long as there was a food supply, the number of people living a good life would increase.
"Brother Yi, if there is a place where everyone earns more money, will the people around it also earn more money?" Li Longji began to think about economic issues.
"Third brother, are you talking about the relationship between economic radiation and regional influence?" Li Yi gave a noun.
