Zhou Gui and the others indeed felt very comfortable. Even as a servant of little Zhuangzi, they were valued by Li Dongzhu.
"We're actually the same. We serve others. Like me, I serve the people of the Tang dynasty. Sometimes, people from the imperial court also come to ask me to serve them, like correcting teeth or something.
So, there's no difference between us. We each serve the people we serve well. That's our ability.
Like shining shoes, I think my skills are not bad, but they don't want me to do it. I'm scared. Hahaha ~ ~ "
Li Yi talked with Zhou Gui and the others. When he said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
They were indeed scared. Who would dare to let Li Dongzhu shine shoes?
"What about me? I heard it outside. Can I take off my braces? "
Just as everyone finished laughing, the door was pushed open. Bi Goo and two other people walked in.
"Old Bi, Old Liu, Old Li, why are you here today? Won't you go back tonight?" Li Yi turned around and cupped his hands.
He put down his hands and introduced, "This is the young and beautiful girl, Li Wentian. This is Xiao Lan, who helps Wentian take care of Zhuangzi. The other one is Manager Zhou Gui, Li An, Mrs. Li, Li Yuanyang, Xiao Yezi, and Li Ling."
He turned around and introduced the three people who came in.
"I called you by your names. Don't lower yourself to my level. Otherwise, others won't understand.
This is Liu Youqiu, who used to be a political advisor. He's the Prime Minister's assistant.
This is Li Rizhi, who used to be a political advisor. He's also the Prime Minister.
The two of them are now scouts of the first inspection team of the Tang dynasty. They investigate the Tang dynasty's territory.
This is Bi Goo, who is now the Minister of Revenue, Assistant Minister of the Yellow Door, and Prime Minister under Ziwei. "
The others didn't move. Zhou Gui and the others stood up and didn't know how to salute.
"Sit down. You're not under their control. They came to me, so I'll take care of it." Li Yi waved to the six people.
The palace maids, eunuchs, Xiao Lan, and Princess Yongmu were all sitting.
So what if you're the Prime Minister? Who cares about my harem?
If I hadn't come in my capacity as the Prime Minister, it wouldn't have been a problem for me to greet you on account of your age.
On the other hand, Bi Goo and the other two nodded slightly at Princess Yongmu as a form of greeting. She was the eldest princess, and it was inconvenient for them to greet her, so they just nodded.
"Xiao Yi, have I worn enough braces? It's hard to brush it off, and it's transparent. It's easy to lose it. "
Bi Goo sat down at Li Yi's table, which was lower than Princess Yongmu's but higher than Xiao Lan's.
Liu Youqiu and Li Yi sat down next to him. Li Yi moved his chair a little to form a line. Xiao Lan stood up and stood behind Princess Yongmu.
"Let me see." As Li Yi spoke, Qing Song hurriedly opened his suitcase and took out a small mirror and a flashlight.
Li Yi shone the flashlight and put the things back to be cleaned.
"Okay, you don't have to wear them anymore. You can keep the braces yourself. No one else can use the same braces as you." Li Yi found that Bi Goo's teeth were fine.
Three sets of tableware were sent over by the palace maids. The three of them were now guests.
"Old Bi, Old Liu, Old Li, are you here to ask about the Ministry of Revenue or the inspection team?"
"I'm here to see my teeth." Bi Goo removed himself from the topic.
"The inspection team." Liu Youqiu expressed his intention.
Li Rizhi nodded slightly in agreement.
Li Family Zhuangzi didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Two former Prime Ministers and one current Prime Minister were like this when they came to the Li Family Zhuangzi?
No wonder Dongzhu didn't care when facing the Jiang Family. Li Dongzhu spoke so casually when facing the Jiang Family, who were high and mighty in the eyes of others.
However, Zhou Gui was thinking about something else. Lil 'Miss' position was not right. Why was Lil 'Miss in the main seat after the exchange? Li Dongzhu went to the side to accompany him?
His own Dongzhu and Xiao Lan ran to the maids' position. There was no one behind the others.
"Is it far?" Li Yi asked.
"He Zhou, Changzhou, and Xuanzhou. Among them, He Zhou has the biggest problem." Li Rizhi named the three provinces.
"They meddled with the iron mine? The imperial court didn't manage it? "Li Yi thought of the names and directly pinpointed them to the Maanshan Iron Mine.
The iron mine was located in the middle of the three provinces. He Zhou was separated by a river. It was west of Changzhou and north of Xuanzhou. The location was good.
Bi Goo didn't look good. "Alas! The local government organized people to secretly dig. There are many iron mines there, and the provincial government profited from it. It's said that there are people who want to use the river to transport the iron ingots to Tubo and sell them at a high price. "
"So the whole regiment is going to go out and arrest all the officials in He Zhou and take over completely like in Hua Zhou?"
Li Yi's expression was calm. He was used to it. Wasn't it normal for people to betray the country for profit?
"Xiao Yi, the people in the regiment are old. How can we protect them? If they are going to die, they should die on the job and not on the road. "
Bi Goo looked at the other two people and stated his intentions.
As for how to deal with it, how many people to kill and how many to exile, everyone knows how to do it.
What about their health after such a long journey? Everyone wanted to work, but that didn't mean they wanted to die.
"Bring more oxygen tanks for the regiment and medicine for emergency treatment. Before we set off, everyone should get used to it and eat cheese.
After getting used to it, eat cheese for every meal. Cheese can be used to adjust the gastrointestinal flora.
Cook your own food. Buy things and soak them in clean water. Whether it's vegetables or meat, don't eat the fish or prawns in the river.
Drink boiled water. Don't drink raw water. Don't eat raw things, including fruits. I'll bring you canned food. Remember to bring the bottles back. "
Li Yi became serious and thought of a solution.
When they were outside, they were most afraid of not being able to acclimatize. Usually, they would bring soil by the well at home. If they were not acclimatized, they would use water to flush the soil by the well to achieve a balance of flora.
The three people looked at each other and were satisfied. With Li Yi's logistical methods, at least they wouldn't eat themselves to death.
"What about safety?" Bi Goo knew that the two people were too embarrassed to ask, so he asked.
"Bring the Winged Knights. The Winged Knights aren't under anyone's control. It's impossible to bribe them. Just treat it as training. A thousand people is enough. "
The thing that Li Yi cared about the least was safety. The Winged Knights could be mobilized at any time. The capital government didn't need 30,000 Winged Knights.
If there was a crisis that required the 16 guards and all the Winged Knights, he would take action. He had saved a lot of life and had enough to defeat the enemy.
"Is there anything else you need to remind us?" Bi Goo asked on behalf of the two people.
"When we investigate, we might not be able to find anything. Local protectionism. As long as the local officials unite, it will be very difficult to investigate.
At this time, we need a breakthrough. Find this breakthrough with security, promotion, and money.
Tell them that if they provide evidence, their family will be sent to Chang 'an to live. They will be given to the officials of Chang' an. Don't pursue the past.
Gather the local officials together for a meeting. They are not allowed to leave. This way, we can send people to investigate.
Spread false news at the same time. For example, a certain official will be beheaded or his family will be executed. Also … "
Li Yi began to teach them how to find a breakthrough. Send them to another place and then attack their hearts.
In the past, he had seen officials who he bribed get promoted more than once. Once the promotion was a transfer and not a political position, he knew that it was over. It was time to find someone else.
For example, when it was not time for a change, suddenly transferring the first or second in charge of the city to the provincial government as a secretary would seem to have a bright future.
In reality, it was to make it easier to investigate the problem. Once the person left and the position was not high enough, some things would be exposed in the city.
