"There's such a good thing." Zhang Xiao, the village chief of Zhang Village, walked closer and reached out to touch the double-blade combination.
The villagers came forward one after another and looked at this simple and helpful thing as if they were looking at a treasure.
"We'll use it in the future. Go back to the village and make it." Someone shouted. He liked this tool.
"Li Dongzhu was given to us by the heavens." Someone else targeted Li Yi.
"Set up a longevity memorial tablet for Li Dongzhu." Someone else suggested.
"Yes, set up a memorial tablet." Someone else echoed.
Li Yi was sweating in the snowy days.
He quickly said, "His Majesty let me train the soldiers. It's obvious that it's His Majesty's favor."
Village chief Zhang Xiao was sensible and understood immediately.
"It's His Majesty. Set up a memorial tablet for His Majesty." He shouted.
"Thank you, His Majesty."
"May His Majesty live to a hundred years old."
"His Majesty let us live a good life."
The villagers immediately praised Li Longji noisily.
Li Longji's eyes narrowed with a smile. Yes, it's His Majesty's discerning eyes.
Li Chengqi didn't say anything, you …
Empress Wang covered her mouth and laughed happily.
"The people in the Ministry of Works are all good-for-nothings. The people in the Agriculture Bureau deserve to be killed." Li Longji suddenly said as he listened.
He could see that this double-blade combination wasn't difficult at all. Any farmer could make it if they wanted to.
The people were ignorant. What were the officials in the Agriculture Bureau doing?
The Agriculture Bureau used whatever was passed down from the previous dynasty.
Then, they just waited for the local officials to report the good things in various places. Then, they would see if it was good.
Don't you know how to think about it?
You just stay in the capital all day and don't go anywhere. Even His Majesty took the empress out to see the people.
Li Longji thought angrily with a belly full of anger.
On the other side, Li Yi's craftsmen in Zhuangzi saw that the Zhang Village urgently needed tools for cutting hemp, so they made it on the spot.
The materials used were like a drop in the ocean for Zhuangzi. Some craftsmen even tied ropes on the forked wood. In this way, they wouldn't be afraid of loosening.
"Very good. This rope is well tied. Craftsman Guan, you'll get an extra 500 RMB this month." Li Yi took the opportunity to reward him.
When the other craftsmen heard this, they thought he was only going to tie a rope. Five hundred? Let me see if I can drive a wedge in.
The villagers of Zhang Family Village used every piece of equipment that came out, and the rest continued to fish for hemp from the river.
Their faces were full of smiles. Even though it was snowing, they felt warmth.
The older child with the injured finger seemed to have become a hero. He showed off his bandaged thumb and received the unanimous support of the other children in the village.
"Sister-in-law, it's cold outside. Why don't we go back to the courtyard?" Li Yi was in a good mood when he suddenly saw his sister-in-law shiver.
"I'll listen to Uncle." Empress Wang glanced at the smiling faces of the Zhang Family's villagers and turned back to the courtyard.
Li Longji took a few steps and turned back, as if he wanted to imprint this moment in his memory.
Li Chengqi walked at the back. He waved his hand and a guard came over. He personally asked for a bench to scrape hemp and gave it to the guard.
"Send it to the Agriculture Temple. Take advantage of the busy time in the north to scrape hemp and fish hemp, push it to the 22 counties of the capital."
"Yes." The guard grabbed the bench with one hand and called two companions. They found a horse and galloped away.
When they entered the courtyard, Li Yi personally made strong green tea for Li Longji and Li Chengqi, and then made light green tea for Empress Wang.
When the tea was served, he said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to drink tea, take the green tea from me. Don't drink too much and don't drink too much."
Empress Wang listened carefully and tried hard to remember. Recently, she had been drinking warm fruit juice and plain water.
When she entertained the soldiers yesterday, she liked to drink very much, but she didn't drink a single drop.
The eunuchs and palace maids in her palace were forbidden to speak about it, so no one outside knew about her pregnancy.
"Brother Yi, your new football method has been widely spread. It's just that it's easy to hurt your body in winter, and the weather is cold. What's fun about it?"
Li Longji went to the Pear Garden to play when he had nothing to do. He also personally taught others singing, dancing, kicking shuttlecock, playing polo, tug-of-war, and juggling.
Empress Wang was the best at kicking shuttlecock, but Empress Wang couldn't play with him now.
He wanted to have a new game in winter, but when he asked this question, he was very embarrassed.
Was it a kind of humiliation for an emperor to ask a 'foreign minister' how to play?
Just as he was feeling nervous, Li Yi said excitedly, "Are you having fun? Yes, I have a lot of games. They're all very interesting. "
Li Longji: "…"
He wondered if Brother Yi had been replaced in the blink of an eye.
Li Yi didn't care about Li Longji's inner thoughts. He said with a smile, "Speaking of outdoor, there's ice and snow …"
"Li Yi, we're looking for Li Yi. My Ming Residence personally came. My Ming Residence is the Pei Residence of Chang 'an. Quickly ask Li Yi to come out and welcome us."
Before Li Yi could introduce the ice and snow game, a shout came from outside.
Li Yi paused and asked, "Who's that?"
Li Longji's face darkened. Empress Wang pouted.
"I'll go and take a look. Brother Yi, don't move." Li Chengqi said and rushed out.
The group of yamen people outside were blocked outside the flat ground outside Li Yi's courtyard.
In the manor, there were four old soldiers with crossbows in their hands. The arrows were all strung.
There was an official in the group who didn't dare to leave. A yamen runner stood in front of him, afraid that he would be shot to death by the crossbow.
Li Chengqi covered his face with his sleeve and strode forward. He pulled the yamen runner aside and showed his face to the person, "Don't make a sound. Come with me."
As he spoke, he pulled the person to another place. The person was slightly stunned and ordered the others, "Don't follow me."
The two of them went to a place where there was no one around. Li Chengqi asked directly, "Pei Yaoqing, what do you want?"
"King, King Song, you …" Pei Yaoqing was dumbfounded. Why is King Song here?
"Let me ask you, what do you want to do in Li Yi's Zhuangzi?" Li Chengqi was angry. You're just a county magistrate. Do you have nothing better to do? You're running around blindly.
You don't want to go anywhere else. Why do you have to come here?
Since you're so willing to run around, do you believe that I won't demote you to the southernmost Leizhou of the Tang dynasty?
Pei Yaoqing found that the situation was not good, so he said in a low voice, "Someone said that the crab in this village runs rampant in the fields and is an omen. I came to see. Sure enough, the crab in the fields is uncountable."
"Omen is uncountable. You don't want to be a county magistrate of Chang 'an and want to go to the Imperial Astronomer? Uncountable? Do you know how many crabs can be produced per mu? Do you know how much rice can be produced? Do you know how much a crab costs now? "
Li Chengqi threw out a series of questions with a disdainful look.
"Raise, raise? Can you raise crabs? How many can you raise? If we raise crabs in every paddy field in Chang 'an, the people will benefit a lot. King Song, why don't you ask Li Yi to offer the method of raising crabs? "
Pei Yaoqing was surprised and happy. Of course, he knew how much crabs cost. He even ate a few of them. Unfortunately, they were too expensive.
"Pei Yaoqing, why don't you offer your life first? Why should you offer the method of raising crabs? "Li Chengqi looked at Pei Yaoqing as if he was looking at a fool.
Pei Yaoqing took a deep breath and said, "Someone said that this village hired workers with a lot of money but didn't pay them."
"Didn't pay anyone? Where's the victim's family? Of course, there's nothing wrong with a lot of money. Zhuangzi pays them a lot of money. They can't hire cheap workers. Did they come to you? "
Li Chengqi said with a look that said, "I've seen through your purpose."
"I want to see Li Yi and confront him face to face." Pei Yaoqing clenched his teeth and insisted.
"Fine, I'll ask him to come out. Don't tell anyone that you've seen me. Otherwise, your whole family will go to Leizhou." Li Chengqi threatened.
"Fine." Pei Yaoqing compromised.
