In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March in the lunar calendar and the middle of May in the solar calendar. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
The boys of the capital government wore half-sleeved shirts, big pants, and small sandals woven from grass.
The children of the rich wore small leather shoes and held spring pistols, looking for enemies to attack.
A spring pistol cost two pieces. The most expensive thing was the spring.
The others were worthless. If the pistols broke, they could be replaced for free.
"It's time to eat. Come and wash your hands." A school 'teacher' called the children.
The children ran to the washing place to soap their faces, wash their faces, and wait for the meal.
"From next month onwards, you don't have to pay. His Majesty will buy food for everyone.
Go back and tell your family that His Majesty cares about every person of the Tang dynasty. "
The teacher took out the food. There were plates made of bamboo and small soup bowls with thick bamboo tubes.
Today's food was more than twice as good as yesterday's. There were large pieces of fish and sweet. The children liked to eat sweet things now.
The fish were caught from the water net. Li Longji sent people to catch them. If the people could catch them, why couldn't he?
The fresh fish caught in the morning were made into different dishes.
Li Longji was rich. Li Yi pointed out a place with gold and found a new big gold sand mine.
The other iron mines and coal mines given by Li Yi also began to operate.
The iron produced was used to make farm tools, kitchen knives, sickles, spears, and arrows for the people.
The people needed weapons to fight wild animals.
The price was low, so it was still profitable. A part of the profit belonged to Li Longji.
The children who sold newspapers in the morning went to school after selling newspapers.
Only the children who shined shoes were still shining shoes. They couldn't go to school. They worked to support the family.
"Eat, little pimple. Today's meal." A handcart stopped in front of a shoeshine child.
The person who pushed the cart called out and took out a plate.
"Got it. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Uncle Rong." The little pimple quickly washed his hands in the wooden basin next to him.
Then he saw braised fish. "Uncle Song, there's braised fish today."
The little pimple grinned. He liked to eat braised food, and it would be even better if it was braised meat. Unfortunately, he had only eaten it a few times.
"His Majesty sent people to fish in the river early in the morning. He said that starting from the day after tomorrow, on the first day of the fourth month, there will be large pieces of meat every day.
Here's an oily salted duck egg. It's provided by the Li Family Zhuangzi. It's not very salty. "
The person pushing the cart mentioned that it was not all given by His Majesty, but also by Li Dongzhu.
He waited for the little pimple to scoop out the food for himself, then pushed the cart to the next place, and while he was at it, he yelled out his wares.
If passersby wanted to eat it, they would pay for it. He would scoop it for them, but they would need to pay a deposit of two dollars.
They asked passersby to deliver the tray to any shoeshine child, and the child would give them two dollars.
"I believe that in a few years, the entire Tang dynasty will be like this," the Tubo envoy Boxie said to Isinba.
Recently, they had stopped and seized the time to write medical books. As for medical skills, no one taught them.
They also collected carrot seeds and sent them back to Tubo for planting.
They also sent the daily newspapers back. This was the only thing they could do.
"The Tang dynasty changes almost every day. If Li Yi doesn't die, in a few years, with the development of the capital office, it will be difficult for Tubo to live."
Isinba felt uncomfortable. He watched as the capital office implemented various measures.
The people were busy with work with smiles on their faces. The officials of the capital office were diligent and honest.
The root cause was one person. That person pushed the Tang dynasty forward.
"The people of the Japanese Empire are coming. Think of a way to make the Japanese Empire deal with Li Yi." Boxie knew that he couldn't do it.
Li Yi didn't fall for the trick. He hid in his shell all day long like a turtle.
Could he kill with a borrowed knife? Sow discord.
"What good ideas do you have?" Isinba was interested.
"Tell the people of the Japanese Empire that Li Yi wants the Tang dynasty to fight the Japanese Empire. Li Yi is making powerful weapons." Boxie told him his idea.
There was no need to say it out loud. It was enough to hint.
Other envoys couldn't enter the Li Family Zhuangzi, but what about the Japanese Empire?
The Japanese Empire wanted to enter and communicate. Would Li Yi meet them for the sake of the Tang dynasty?
Could the envoys of the Japanese Empire search Li Yi when they see him? He would send a few people to hide in …
Boxie was determined to die. He knew that if the Tang dynasty continued to develop, Tubo would have no way to survive.
Even the Hukou Waterfall couldn't stop Li Yi's will. On the track, the ship carried the goods and went against the flow of the Yellow River.
Tubo was at the other end of the Yellow River. If there was a big war, the Tang dynasty would transport soldiers and Baggage from the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the land.
Isinba thought for a moment and said, "It's best to ask the people of the Japanese Empire to call Li Yi out. For example, hold a bonfire party and watch the Japanese Empire sing and dance."
"Okay, let's give it a try." Boxie looked to the east.
The Li Family Zhuangzi was there. He wished he could grow wings and fly over there to die with Li Yi.
According to the historical records of the Central Plains, if a country wanted to hide its strength and bide its time, it would take many years to see results.
Then, it would defeat other countries in one fell swoop. This was the case for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
If the Tang dynasty had Li Yi, how many years would it take? Li Yi madly threw out things that would benefit the people.
It couldn't be seen anywhere else. In any case, the wealth of the people in the capital would double in a few months.
Who would have thought that feeding chickens with maggots and bone powder would make them lay more eggs?
There were also the bean worms that everyone was afraid of. They were pests that hurt soybeans and grapes.
However, Li Yi told everyone that they could eat these things and even taught them how to raise them.
The people listened to him. If he said they could eat these things, they would eat them.
Using the loss of some soybeans in exchange for a large number of worms, he said that eating worms was better than eating meat.
Isinba gritted his teeth and said, "As long as he comes out, we'll drag him with us even if we have to. He won't be able to escape even if he has wings."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person not far away suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, a large group of hot air balloons flying so high."
Alerted by the shouting of passersby, more people looked up.
Hot air balloons floated over in the sky one after another. Everyone was curious.
It had been a long time since a large number of hot air balloons appeared together. What were they doing this time?
"Something fell out. Is it parachuting? Winged Knights parachuting? "
"No, it's not a parachute. That thing is flying. There are people below."
"It looks like a kite. Kites can carry people."
The onlookers suddenly started discussing. They watched as triangular hang gliders jumped from the hot air balloons and glided.
"Wings?" Bozhu looked at Isinba. You said it was impossible to escape even if you had wings. Look, they're flying with kites.
"Kites can carry people?" Isinba didn't think that kites could do this.
But in fact, there were people below the kites in the sky.
A gust of wind blew past. Some kites rose in altitude, some turned in other directions, and some continued to move forward slowly.
In the sky above Chang 'an, many kites flew back and forth.
The people were dumbfounded. Some wanted to look for the kite string. Was there someone on the ground pulling the string?
