Wang Xing happily sent Li Yi back to Zhuangzi, looking forward to the cotton harvest.
He had nothing to be embarrassed about. In his heart, Li Yi was a godly doctor. Everything a godly doctor did was normal.
Li Yi returned to Zhuangzi and continued to lead the 3,000 soldiers to work.
First, they filled the big ditch between Zhuangzi and the Imperial Plantation. It would be more convenient for the two sides to contact each other in the future.
Then, they dug the ice cellar, the vegetable cellar, leveled the ground, and piled up soil.
This was a civil engineering project. All the tools were used. The soldiers had to know how to use them and they had to be skilled.
"You may not know, but let me tell you. There is a unit that can sacrifice ten times more in exchange for victory."
"Their civil engineering is the best in the world. They dig tunnels, build forts, and build soil slopes. They have fought classic battles."
"So I will take you to play with civil engineering. If we can build a trench camp in an hour, we can't use more than a quarter of an hour."
Li Yi held a multi-purpose military shovel in his hand and said to the 3,000 soldiers.
The soldiers didn't care at first, but when they heard Li Yi say, "I will take you to play," their attitude immediately changed.
They were already traumatized by the word "play" from Li Yi's mouth.
If others said play, it was play. If Li Yi said play … it was terrible.
It was just work, no problem. As long as it wasn't like the previous training, nothing else mattered.
Li Yi personally taught them how to use various equipment, how to use it the fastest, and what the purpose was.
He also led the digging. He didn't feel tired working for himself in Zhuangzi.
There was less ice this year. It was all used to stabilize the meat. The children had only eaten ice drinks a few times. There had to be more next year.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to use saltpeter to make ice, but he didn't have the time.
The heat absorption rate of saltpeter ice was 1: 1 to 1: 1.5, depending on the temperature of the water.
Then, saltpeter was put under the sun and could be reused.
But who would operate it? The entire Zhuangzi was busy building houses, building methane ponds, wine cellars, raising ducks, chickens, pigs, cows, and sheep.
There were also maggots that were artificially fed. The Zhang family's village raised them.
Lin Wa and Crab needed someone to take care of them.
The fields were fertilized and weeded.
The grapes were forked, fertilized, and tied with ropes to secure the vines.
In addition, Li Yi had been busy leading the team for training last month.
Now that there was no need for such devilish training, they quickly led the soldiers to work for Zhuangzi.
The three thousand soldiers listened to whatever Li Yi said. They were most afraid that Li Yi would say something like playing around.
That's not funny at all.
The amount of contempt he had back then was the same amount of respect he had now.
"Here, this is your salary. Write down your home address, and I'll get someone to send it to your home."
Li Yi used the loudspeaker to shout before dinner that day.
When the soldiers worked, he would give them a wage. The higher the wage, the lower the wage, would be seven hundred yuan.
Without waiting for others to say anything, Li Yi directly explained the situation.
"You are soldiers, the strongest soldiers of the Tang dynasty. It's my honor to work for you."
"If I were a disaster victim, you would work for me. After all, you are His Majesty's private army. If you don't work for the people, who will?"
"But I'm Dongzhu of Zhuangzi. I have money. I don't have to work for you. I can work for others and pay you."
"I asked you to work for me. You did a good job. I took advantage of you. With the same wage, you can do more work. "
Li Yi said why he gave them the money. He was still as calm as when they first met.
Many soldiers cried. They never dared to think about this as soldiers.
Shouldn't a superior ask them to work?
Li Dongzhu not only gave them money, but also a lot.
Li Yi calmly held the loudspeaker and said, "I'm very sad to see people cry. It means that the Tang dynasty didn't let your families live a good life."
"We are the strongest soldiers of the Tang dynasty. We never flinched in the face of life and death."
"Remember my words. No matter what grievances you encounter in the future, don't cry. Come to me, to His Majesty. You are His Majesty's private army."
"I'll play with you on behalf of His Majesty. Don't, don't be afraid. What are you trembling for? Well, it's His Majesty who asked me to train you. Let's not play."
"So we only listen to His Majesty's orders. I didn't ask you to work for me without His Majesty's permission. I have to pay you."
"His Majesty is the most important. If His Majesty doesn't say anything, I won't … train with you. Boy, stand up. Can your legs be soft?"
"Now, you can write a few words. You can replace them with wrong characters. Write your address and what you want to say to your families."
"In addition to sending back the money you earned, I'll also give your families some extra pickles."
"Don't think about soy sauce. Don't think about the green and red side."
"It's not that I don't have any. I'm just afraid that if I send them back, your families will be in trouble."
Li Yi still told the truth.
As a result, the soldiers cried even harder.
"Don't cry. How about this? Let's play a new game. Everyone will be happy and stop crying," Li Yi suggested.
In an instant, the crying soldiers hurriedly wiped their tears.
That was too scary. They still wanted to play? Don't, Li Dongzhu. We won't cry, okay?
"I'm serious. What do you want to do? I used two hours of my lifespan to exchange for twenty footballs. These things are cheap. I'll teach you the rules. Let's play a game. It'll be very interesting. "
Li Yi said with a smile.
He exchanged twenty footballs. Playing football could develop teamwork and teamwork. At the same time, it could consume excess energy.
"Actually, it's just Cuju. My Cuju is better than the one you knew before. Twenty-two people play a game. Everyone cheers. You know what cheers means, right? If the axle is too dry, you have to drip oil in. It's called cheering. "
Li Yi wanted to bring many people from the surrounding villages to earn money. Whether playing football could earn money or not, there was no need to ask.
When the soldiers heard that it was Cuju, they were relieved. However, there was no joy on their faces. They were vigilant.
They had to be on guard.
Li Yi chose a field by the river. He used wood to make a goal. After explaining the rules, he personally went on the field to perform his amateur football skills.
The soldiers chose twenty-two people who were good at Cuju and played according to the rules.
Li Yi revealed a smile. He realized that he could exchange twenty footballs in two hours.
The inner of the football was made of rubber with butyl. The outer was made of polyurethane.
If the football was broken, such as a bulge, he would get a rubber inner.
If he directly exchanged for a rubber inner the size of a football, he would need four hours of lifespan.
There was a forty times difference. There was a loophole in the system.
Eunuch Qing Song stood at the side and watched. He held a football in his hands. He pressed on the football: "Dongzhu, it's not worth it to exchange your lifespan for a football. If you have a Cuju ball, you can just buy it."
"Thank you." Li Yi thanked him. Qing Song was concerned about him.
"However, buying Cuju is not enough to form a monopoly. If I want to organize a game, I have to use my football. My football is better than Cuju."
Li Yi explained the reason.
He wanted to set the standard. He wanted to increase competition and confrontation. He did not want to show off his skills.
He believed that those who were good at Cuju, once they adapted to the new rules, would be able to kick out gorgeous passes and cooperate to score goals.
In his mind, there were countless offensive and defensive formations. He could not play football, but he had no problem with playing football.
There were twenty-two counties in the capital. Each county would send out a football team to play in the capital.
This was also to promote social development and increase lifespan.
Qing Song did not know about Li Yi's plan. He nodded as if he understood. Holding the football, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed foolishly.
