The next morning, after the morning court session ended, Li Longji called the three prime ministers, one minister, and the junior supervisor Yuan Qianyao to return to Xingqing Hall.
In Xingqing Hall, there was a palace maid spinning a thread. Swish, swish, swish.
The five of them saw and understood that something good had come out.
Needless to say, it must have come from Zhuangzi's Li Yi.
Hence, the five of them started to watch. The three prime ministers and one minister didn't understand what was going on. Was there something wrong with the thread?
Yuan Qianyao found it more and more magical. The job of the Imperial Academy was to supervise and coordinate the manufacturing of things.
Previously, he got a bunch of blueprints and made military water bottles, military shovels, and canvas bags.
The craftsmen all said that he was capable, so he went to check on all kinds of modern equipment.
Yes, I have seen the spinning wheel.
But now, it was three threads spinning at the same time? This speed was simply flying.
"I see, I see …" Yuan Qianyao mumbled as he watched.
"What did Junior Supervisor Yuan see?" Yao Chong was puzzled. It was just spinning.
"Prime Minister Yao, do you know how the commoners spin?" Yuan Qianyao asked naturally.
Yao Chong's heart twitched. He felt that something was wrong. How did the commoners spin? He didn't know.
"Your Majesty, please call the commoner's spinning wheel over for comparison." Yuan Qianyao couldn't blame him and didn't dare to. He could only make a request.
"I am prepared. Men, bring the commoner's spinning wheel over." Li Longji was in a bad mood when he saw the three prime ministers and one minister.
You don't know? You don't know anything about commoners?
Did I ask you to harvest grains for nothing last time? You don't care about the commoners. What are you staring at?
I don't blame you for not knowing the specific military matters.
You can't think of a good idea for irrigation. After all, it is very difficult. I won't say much.
Earning money … I didn't count on you to earn money.
But now it involves farming. Can't you see? You don't know how to spin a wheel?
Oh, and accounting. Don't you know how to come up with a new method? It was Li Yi who taught it that you guys followed it.
Why don't we stop holding court every day and go to Li Yi and Zhuangzi instead? At least Brother Yi will be able to answer any questions we ask.
When the original spinning equipment was sent over and the palace maids operated it, the officials finally understood what it meant.
At the same time, they also saw His Majesty's dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this item can be used as a textile weapon." Yao Chong was enlightened and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
Unfortunately, Li Longji was already disappointed. He forced a smile and said, "It should be carried out to benefit the Tang dynasty."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly raised the topic.
Li Longji waved his hand disinterestedly and turned to leave.
The few people left behind looked at each other in dismay. Each of them had their own thoughts. Then, they exchanged glances and seemed to have understood something.
In the morning of the same day, a notice was sent out that they wanted to recruit the best in the field of research and development, and that they would be heavily rewarded.
The prime ministers understood that if they wanted to live well, they had to suppress Li Yi.
Thus, they could only use the best in the field of research and development to overshadow Li Yi's various new things. They could not let Li Yi be in the limelight anymore.
Li Yi did not have time to think about other things. He was busy ordering people to build greenhouses. Greenhouses were built wherever the harvest was completed.
Originally, float glass needed a liquid with a higher density below. When the glass solution fell on the surface, it would naturally become a flat surface.
Just like how water had a higher density than oil, oil would form a layer on water.
Mercury had a higher density than glass, so it would naturally be below. When the glass solution fell on the mercury, it would automatically become a flat surface.
However, there was too little mercury and not enough to be collected in a short time. It was better to blow glass.
Blowing glass was like blowing bubbles. Then, before it became cold, the bubble would be cut open. The glass would naturally stretch out and form a glass plate.
Nowadays, some glassware was blown out in this way, but no one blew glass plates.
Li Yi found that it was not possible. The basic industry could not keep up.
Thus, he took a step back and used silk to build greenhouses. The light was less translucent, but there was still light that could enter.
Heat channels were added inside to keep it warm. The growth of the surrounding areas was slower, so he planted it in advance.
The Zhang Family Village was also asked to build greenhouses. Li Yi had said so at the beginning.
The Zhang Family Village supported it and built it. If Li Dongzhu asked them to build it, they would build it. The land would be given to Li Dongzhu for free.
Li Yi asked Song De to go over and say that they would rent the land and pay.
The Zhang Family Village said that no, they would give it to him for free.
"Dongzhu, the Zhang Family Village did not agree to rent the land. They said that I looked down on them and even wanted to beat me. Fortunately, I ran away quickly."
Song De reported. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Li Yi sighed. "Righteous people are always the butchers. Heartless people are always the scholars. The ancients did not deceive me. "
Song De bowed to the ground. "Dongzhu is wise. Now …"
"Tell them that I will use their land. After that, I will get some money to repair the bridges and roads. At the same time, I will also build their houses. This is called a fund."
Li Yi chose to pay the rent in another way. He did not expect to get rich by oppressing the interests of the Zhang Family Village.
Song De ran over to discuss again. Sure enough, this time, it worked. He was depressed. It was the same amount of money. Your village …
"Dongzhu, that's enough. They …"
"Song De, just seek merit. Don't make it public. Regardless of whether it is a direct or indirect approach, sometimes, it is enough to achieve the goal. Don't place the process above the result.
Of course, sometimes, the process is the most memorable. But that refers to the process of love and struggle. Don't be entangled in a statement. "
Li Yi said to Song De. He had experienced a lot and understood that some things should be persisted in. Some things could be done in a roundabout way.
Song De nodded vigorously. At this time, he finally saw it clearly. Dongzhu was indeed Dongzhu. Although he was young, he was much more stable than him and could see further.
After the steward left, Li Yi wandered around and looked around.
"Being a boss is like this. Not everything is right, but I can make a choice when needed. Whether it is right or wrong, the pressure and the consequences, I will be responsible for myself."
Li Yi muttered and came to the place where the "big shots" were. There were 50 women.
They did not leave and had been practicing. They said that they did not do it for money. They just wanted to see the strong soldiers of the Tang dynasty.
Looking at them, Li Yi thought of a woman, a prostitute, Yan Rui.
He wrote, "Half an acre of square pond, when the mirror opens, the sky and clouds wander together. How can the canal be so clear? In order to have a source of running water. "It was written by Zhu Xi, a Confucian master.
Because some people did not submit to Confucianism, they insisted on killing the other party. Therefore, they captured Yan Rui, a prostitute who had been in contact with the other party, and tortured her to make false testimony.
Yan Rui would rather die than submit. Later, the government learned about it and sent people to investigate.
Therefore, there was a famous poem, "It's not love for prostitutes, it's like being wronged by the past." Flowers wither and bloom in their own time, it's always the East Sovereign. If I go, I must go, how can I stay? If I have a head full of flowers, I will return to my home. "
Therefore, Li Yi did not look down on or belittle these women. He knew that it was not his turn to belittle them. The Four Books and Five Classics were awesome.
"Li Dongzhu." The 50 women bowed together and saluted.
Li Yi returned the salute with a fist salute. "Everyone, please. I have a song that I learned from others. I would like to give it to everyone. The name of the song is' Laughing at the Mortal World. '"
