Chapter 1280: Powerful and People-Friendly, the World Knows
To the east of Zheng County is Huayin County, where the capital of Huazhou is located.
The team that said it would not stop arrived at noon, and the people were already prepared.
Everyone could only eat one meal, and then left in a hurry.
The people who accompanied Li Yi for dinner and received gifts were happy.
They continued to work in the snow. Huayin had a canal, which was frozen in winter, and the caravan pulled the sled on the ice.
The water level was not high enough, and the sled was OK in the canal, but it needed to go ashore at a certain place.
The local people made money, they piled the snow into slopes and put ropes.
To get the sleds and livestock up, everyone used a winch, like a windlass.
The heavier the goods, the higher the price.
If the merchants didn't want to pull the people, they could find another place to lay the slope, anyway, they couldn't use the slopes laid by others.
It hasn't snowed recently, and the people can only carry water to pour ice and repair the ice surface.
It finally snowed, and they quickly repaired the slopes and waited to make money, just like the porters at the dock.
The fee is not very high, so even if the merchants have their own teams, they still choose to hire local people to pull it up.
Some goods are sold locally, and a little more things are collected at the same time. When they arrive in Chang'an, they sell the collected things and earn back the money they hired the people to carry it.
Smart merchants operate in this way. If they don't let the people make money, and if there are goods temporarily staying overnight in the local area, the people will not help if something happens.
There is a flood, heavy snow, and the car overturns on the road. The people watch and don't help even if they are paid, because they didn't hire them before.
Merchants are more worried that the people will take the initiative to do bad things, because it is not worth saving a little transportation fee.
Li Yi's team does not go down the canal. There is no post station under the canal. If they want to stay at the post station, they have to go up, which is too strenuous.
"How will the history books record me in the future? This is the first time that sleds have been used to this extent."
Li Yi knows that in history, except for the Northeast region in the later period and some areas of Inner Mongolia, sleds were rarely used in other places.
Now, as long as there is ice and snow, merchants guarantee to use sleds.
The roads that were supposed to be cleared of snow were protected by everyone, and watered when there was no snow.
Generally, the post station hired people to water the roads and paid them money.
Postmen used skis to run errands and deliver messages.
On the ice surface of the Jingzhao Prefecture water network, some people used ice carts to transport things. People from other counties came to Chang'an to shop, and they skated back on ice carts.
If the snow was too thick, they would wait for the sled to run a few more times to grind off the snow and expose the ice surface, or compact the snow, and then they would change to an ice cart like a sled to paddle.
"Isn't this the group of people who walked with us before? They walked too slowly, just right, take them with you."
Princess Yongmu looked out through the car window and found a few familiar faces.
After stopping earlier, these people continued to move forward, they were in a hurry.
As a result, they could not walk as fast as the animals, and were caught up again.
The people on the road were also surprised, that was great, and waved their hands quickly, and took us a little longer, it was uncomfortable to travel in the snow.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry helped to arrange it, and the people sat on it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer worried.
Especially at night, there is no need to rush to the next post station. Wherever the Lijiazhuang team stops, they will rest there.
When it gets dark, the team rushes forward and arrives at the post station in front.
The logistics staff starts to prepare meals, and the people in the post station don't have to worry about anything.
The people who were originally resting in the post station ran out and didn't eat with the post station. They went to the Lijiazhuang team to save money.
"Li Lang, why do I want to watch the people have fun with us."
Princess Yongmu always had a smile on her face when she was eating.
"So you are not as good as Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping, as well as Empress Wei and Princess Anle. You are not cruel enough."
When Li Yi spoke, his hand was on Princess Yongmu's waist.
Princess Yongmu shuddered when she heard the names of these people, and then she leaned her head on Li Yi's shoulder.
"Li Lang, I want to eat meat." Princess Yongmu thought of the hard days in the past, and smacked her lips and made a request.
"I'll grill you pork belly and three-layer pork." Li Yi agreed and went to find a meat slicer and grill.
"We'll have braised pork tomorrow night." Princess Yongmu had never eaten braised pork before. She just lacked oil and water. She loved to eat fat meat as long as she could get it.
"Let's cook it after dinner tonight. Then when it solidifies tomorrow, when you want to eat it, just stir-fry it with some chopped green onions. You can also add oil bean paste and quail eggs."
Li Yi also had a place to cook at night. The car was big, so it was easy to cook.
He planned to cook a big pot, which would be convenient for storage in cold weather.
At that time, restaurants made it in advance. Restaurants that specialized in braised pork cut the meat into large pieces. If it was used as a side dish, it would be thinner.
People who know how to eat will only look at the fat meat and buy it if there is a lot of fat.
People who don't know how to eat, when they order braised pork takeout and find that there is so much fat, they will give a bad review, saying that they bought braised pork, not big fat meat.
Then why do you have to buy braised pork instead of stewed meat? Pork with sauce is also fine, they are all lean.
If braised pork is not fat, what is it called braised pork?
How good is it to buy tenderloin? They are all lean.
Princess Yongmu likes to eat fatty food, such as stir-fried pork, twice-cooked pork, Sichuan white meat, and big fat slices of Northeastern pig-killing dishes. She likes them all.
She also likes the boiled pork slices made by Li Yi. The meat in the boiled pork slices is lean, and she likes spicy food.
"The common people are willing to eat with us." Princess Yongmu saw the way other people were eating and walked towards Li Yi.
Then Li Yi stood by Princess Yongmu's side, with his arms around her waist.
"You like to see the people happy, and the people like to follow the absolute security provider. Yulin Flying Cavalry symbolizes absolute security.
I am also creating this situation, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even the people of the world, have an impression that Yulin Flying Cavalry is invincible.
Yulin Flying Cavalry gives people a sense of closeness to the people. In the future, wherever there is a rebellion, Yulin Flying Cavalry will go there to solve it directly."
Li Yi talked about his arrangements to strengthen the people's recognition of Yulin Flying Cavalry.
Just like the PLA at that time, when the police arrested people, the people would find faults. The police were indeed not "perfect" and were punished a lot.
But if you say that the PLA is sent out to arrest people in a certain place, the first thing the people think is that there is something wrong with that person.
If you say that the special forces are sent out to arrest people, the people will not have any doubts at all. When the special forces are sent out, the people who are caught are guaranteed to be bad guys.
And the bad guys are also afraid of the special forces. No matter how powerful the underworld is, they will tremble when the special forces arrive.
Because they represent absolute authority, the people know when they will be deployed.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry is carrying out such propaganda. The people on the road and in the post station saw the 5,000 Yulin Flying Cavalry.
No matter how worried they were before, they all fell at this moment.
If someone incites rebellion in any place, they can still resist if other troops of the court go there.
If it is Yulin Flying Cavalry, the first thing to do is to determine that the rebels have problems and the people will not support them.
Those who follow the rebellion to take advantage will just run away!
