The next day, the sun had risen for an hour. Li Longji and the others woke up.
Li Yi also woke up early. The little boy Shang'er obviously hadn't slept enough, but he didn't want to sleep. He ran around in the yard with his little legs.
Because a group of children older than him had come, he felt that every big brother and big sister was interesting.
Just like when he came to the Li Family Zhuangzi, there were people to play with.
The neighbor children who came over did not dare to offend anyone. When they saw the little boy and saw the clothes he was wearing, they knew how big the gap between them was.
Sichuan brocade clothes, from head to toe, the patterns on it were bright and dark.
The older children were sensible. They knew that this little brother's clothes could not be bought even if they sold their land and house.
As the little boy ran, his left foot stepped on his right foot. He did not fly up, but fell to the ground with a "pia".
The surrounding children were about to cry. It had nothing to do with them. They didn't touch it.
The little boy climbed up on his own. He rubbed his little hands on his body and continued to run.
"How many times have I told you? Run slowly, run slowly. Next time, I will wear protective gear for you. "
Li Yi came over, patted the soil on the little boy's body, and held him in his arms.
"It hurts!" At this time, the little boy's eyes were filled with tears. He stretched out his two little hands for Li Yi to see. His hands hurt.
Li Yi took a look. It was a little swollen. He patted the ground, but it didn't break. "Next time, wear gloves and pat with all your strength. It won't hurt."
When it was time to eat, the little boy washed his hands. He looked at himself and patted his hands together. When he saw Li Longji and Empress Wang, he said that his hands hurt.
"You deserve it!" Empress Wang, like the other mothers, said one word.
The little boy understood and was unhappy. They wanted to comfort and brag, what did they deserve?
When everyone was eating, he forgot about this matter. He felt that a large group of children was very happy.
He used chopsticks to pick up a small bun and took a small bite. He used a spoon to scoop porridge and drank a small mouthful.
He didn't pick up the bun and it fell on the table. He reached out to test the temperature and grabbed it to eat.
The other children also ate small buns filled with pork and scallion. There was also a boiled egg.
"You're not allowed to bring them home. Eat them yourself." Princess Yongmu gently said to the children. She saw that there were children who wanted to put away the eggs.
The children hurriedly cracked open the eggs, peeled the skin, and took big bites. They didn't need to dip it in any seasoning, and they didn't mind that it was yellow and not tasty.
The little guy was eating fried eggs, cut into small pieces and boiled eggs. She was afraid that he would choke when he ate the yellow ones.
Li Yi smiled. Indeed, children from poor families were not picky about food.
If it was him at that time, he would not eat the yolk of a normal egg. He would eat the yolk of a salted egg but not the clear.
When they were five or six years old, they still needed their parents to feed them. If they didn't feed them, they wouldn't eat. While they were being fed, they still wanted to play.
It was all because he had spoiled her. Look at the baby now. She didn't need it. She even took a boiled egg and wanted to take it home for her family to eat.
The little fellow had never been spoiled. As long as she could use chopsticks and spoon, she would eat by herself. If she didn't eat, she could starve.
At this time, a guard ran in with a bamboo basket in his hand. In the basket was a smoked lamb leg.
"The neighbor just came. He said that he killed a lamb yesterday and didn't finish it. There's something left." The guard lifted the basket.
"Brother Yi, think of a way." Li Longji glanced at the smoked lamb leg. The whole right hind leg smelled of pine.
Obviously, it was smoked with pine sawdust. Looking at the color, it was obvious that it was smoked for a night and was smeared with sesame oil.
So many people drank the mutton soup, but they couldn't finish a lamb? Only a lamb leg was left?
The lamb leg was worthless in Li Longji's eyes. Not to mention one, so what if there were ten thousand of them?
What he valued was that when his eldest daughter met with trouble, people would help her. It was a possibility of life and death.
When they killed a lamb, people would smoke it and send it to their door.
If he didn't reveal his identity, wherever he went, Zhuangzi, would the neighbors be like this?
The key was that people would help to smoke mosquito coils in the summer. They would smoke the memorial tablet for a while before taking it away.
The memorial tablet was full of the smell of mosquito coils. Mosquitoes and flies wouldn't fall on it.
"Third Brother, it's simple." Li Yi was still answering every question.
"The previous tourism industry, frankly speaking, was to arrange accommodation and catering for the foreigners. Chang 'an did a good job.
Now we'll expand. Not only do we provide accommodation and catering, but we also need to provide warehouse services in the county, starting from … "
Li Yi was not in a hurry to eat, so he started to talk about his plan.
With the increasing demand for goods in Chang 'an and the export of processed products, more warehouses were needed in the 20 counties outside the capital.
Li Chengqi had already chosen the location of the warehouses, including the one in the south of the city.
However, the price of those warehouses was high. Once a commodity couldn't be sold in Chang 'an quickly, or the merchants who came and went from Chang' an didn't like it, they would have to pay a lot of storage fees.
In the 20 counties around Chang 'an, they could use the existing accommodation and catering services to build warehouses. The price was lower than that around Chang' an.
Others didn't have to put the goods in the warehouses around Chang 'an, because it was still a long way to go.
For example, the goods from Shu County could be put in the warehouses in the counties in the west and southwest. The merchants from Shu County could enter Chang 'an and find someone to negotiate in the trading hall built by the Ministry of Revenue.
After the negotiation, they could directly transport the goods from the warehouses to Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Caozhou, Songzhou, Xuzhou, and other places, saving money and travel time.
Of course, the people in the west of the city could do it too.
"Build a small warehouse here. To be precise, it's a display area. With accommodation and catering, the price will be lower than in the city. You don't have to look for an inn in Chang 'an."
Li Yi finally said, "It's just looking for a job to make money. It's hard to find it elsewhere, but it's not hard to find it in the capital."
After that, he lowered his head to eat. If he continued talking, the buns would be cold.
Li Longji showed a gratified look and ate without saying anything.
He asked his neighbors how to improve their living standards. Brother Yi gave him the future plan of the 20 counties in the capital.
What else did he need to say? There were so many officials in the imperial court. If there was someone who could give the same idea, he would be directly promoted to the position of Prime Minister.
Unfortunately, there were so many officials … What if someone thought of it when he asked them tomorrow morning?
Li Longji thought, "It's just a dream. It's impossible." The three officials from the Political Affairs Hall asked in vain.
Before the meal was finished, the woman who left yesterday came back with many people. In total, there were 50 people.
Pepper, onion seed powder, pepper seeds, and onion seeds were all transported over.
Pepper seeds can't be planted anymore. Black pepper can only be planted with white pepper.
Black pepper and white pepper are the same species, just like soybeans.
When soybeans are not ripe, they are called edamame. When they are ripe, they are called soybeans.
When pepper is not ripe, it is called black pepper. When it is ripe, it is called white pepper.
Edamame will not grow seedlings if it is planted in the ground. The same is true for black pepper.
The woman was in good condition, even if she was in a hurry.
She directly came in and bowed when she saw Li Yi: "Thank you, Li Dongzhu, for your kindness. On the way back yesterday, I guessed it and am relieved."
Several older children stood up. Li Dongzhu? There is only one person who can be called Li Dongzhu in the capital.
"Sit down and eat. Don't worry about the adults." Princess Yongmu smiled and waved her hand.
The older children sat down, but they couldn't eat. They turned to look at Li Yi.
Two clever children looked at Li Longji. They just heard that this person was called Li Dongzhu, Brother Yi.
Li Dongzhu said that he wanted to help their family make money? Oh my god! Yes, it's not Li Dongzhu. Who would have thought that he was a swindler?
