Chapter 1299: The Advantage Lies in the Different Links
Li Longji and others still didn't look surprised, they were used to it.
When I met Li Yi a few years ago, Li Jia Zhuangzi said that the rent collected was much less than others, which seemed to disrupt the 'market'.
As a result, the rent collection was just in name, and it has never been collected from the beginning to now.
All the people who work have become the owners of the Li family's village, the kind they can't live without for the rest of their lives, including their descendants.
At this time, I heard Li Yi say that it was normal for him not to collect rent from those who robbed him.
Those who farm for Li Yi will not suffer, and Li Yi will also benefit.
"Where's the advantage?" Wu Jieyu knew it, but she wanted to ask for details.
"The advantage lies in the right of first refusal and the discount on the rent turned over to the court." Li Yi gave the answer.
Everyone looked at each other, very well, but they didn't understand.
Li Yi explained: "The imperial court wants to collect rent, and the people need to pay this part of the rent.
If the people want to sell the crops they grow, they must sell them to me first at the same price.
I took over the rent collected by the court and converted it into money instead of giving it to Lao Bi.
The grain is in my hands, I process it deeply, and I don’t take away other people’s grain harvest market. I have the final say on what else to plant..."
He tells everyone how to operate without desperately pursuing profits.
He will find other wasteland to enclose, and the land will belong to Lijiazhuangzi.
The tenants would improve the soil while cultivating, and after a few years of cultivation, the wasteland would turn into fertile farmland.
The income of tenant farmers increased and the pressure to survive became smaller.
People in other places saw Lijiazhuangzi's operations and found that they could get more good fields, so they followed suit.
In the process, Lijiazhuangzi made very little money.
The tenants earned more, their life was better, they were able to consume, and this increased the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty.
From a personal point of view, Li Yi gains more than he loses. With that kind of energy, wouldn't it be more beneficial to do other things?
From Datang's perspective, Datang has made a lot of profits.
Li Yi feels that the rights he enjoys now should have corresponding obligations.
I don't like the Prime Minister. In one sentence, the Prime Minister will step down. Why?
Just because so many people had a better life, the Tang Dynasty's court revenue increased.
The prime minister is valuable, but the value is less than the contribution of Zhuangzi of the Li family. Whether he can continue or be dismissed depends entirely on Li Yi's considerations.
"Okay!" Wu Jieyu looked at her son Bao'er, who was asleep again.
She wanted Li Yi to teach Bao'er so that when he grew up, he would at least have a foundation for a stable life.
It is impossible for Li Yi to teach his own son how to usurp the throne.
The crown prince has been decided, but Li Yi will teach other aspects of knowledge.
Including struggles between people, such as bullying aristocratic families and wealthy families, there was no direct confrontation from the beginning.
When others want to be tough, it's already too late.
The emergence of Yulin Feiqi borrowed Yao Chong's momentum.
Taking advantage of Li Longji's rise to power, Princess Taiping was dealt with, and a large number of people were implicated.
The timing has been mastered so well that the old trend has not gone away, but the new trend has taken shape.
"Going to the county town early tomorrow morning?" Li Longji listened to the sounds of the people coming out eating and drinking with a smile on his face.
"We are having hot pot tonight. Yu Lin Feiqi helped cut the meat. The chefs have eaten and rested in advance." Li Yi replied.
"What does the chef's rest have to do with entering the county tomorrow?" The little guy was a little sleepy, but he was still holding on. He wanted to eat more.
During the day, when he was tired from running, he played with other children.
Li Yi poured a little vinegar into the little guy's plate: "If we enter the county tomorrow morning, we have to provide breakfast for the people. The chef gets up in the middle of the night to make it, so we rest early."
"Ah!" The little guy thought about it carefully and nodded. He felt that he had learned it.
Waiting for Taohong to help him pick up the slices of meat and dip them into his mouth with the seasoning, the sour taste of vinegar suddenly made him feel energetic.
"Eat less than half a bowl of rice before going to bed, and don't drink too much soup." Li Yi looked at the little guy's look and ordered.
"Yes!" the little guy agreed, and after Taohong served the rice, he scooped it out with a spoon.
His ability to take care of himself now is better than that of some ordinary children from ordinary families.
It is similar to children from poor families. Children from poor families, a four-year-old girl knows how to cook for adults, even if the adults are sick.
That's not just a show, frying it in a pot and recording a video or something.
Because it includes a complete process such as lighting the fire, plugging the stove, cleaning the pot, and washing the rice.
Everything is about living, and prosperity has nothing to do with it.
The little guy doesn't have to study in order to live, he is led to learn.
In Lijiazhuangzi, the adults cook, make a separate stove, and teach the little ones step by step.
The little one learns it as a game and finds it fun.
As a result, he learned that when one day he needed to face difficulties alone, he knew how to do it.
Moreover, this kind of learning is equivalent to exercising the brain and cerebellum, which is helpful for intellectual development.
…
The people outside ate enthusiastically, eating whatever meat they wanted, and drinking the hot soup from the hot pot when it got cold.
There were tents around to protect me from the wind, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all after drinking two sips of hot white wine.
They were so good at eating that the food they brought was simply not enough for them to eat.
A person can eat five or six kilograms of meat, and then still have staple food, otherwise he will be hungry.
Just like people in the 1960s and 1970s at Li Yi's time, a woman of 17 or 18 years old worked in a coal kiln and ate seven or eight large steamed buns in one meal.
There is little oil and water, and the work is still tiring, so we can only increase our food intake.
Eighteen yuan per person, plus condiments and other items, the total is 25 yuan for the paper barbecue and shabu-shabu buffet.
Nowadays, when people go to eat, it is basically impossible for them to stay open, and all restaurants are closed.
It depends on the situation. At that time, Li Yi had a box lunch for 10 yuan, so he opened a shop next to the construction site.
The workers never added more dishes after they were served. They only ate the steamed buns and rice, and then drank the soup.
The workers were afraid that they would eat too much and the shop would be gone. Where would they eat then? If they cooked by themselves, it would take time and the taste would not be good enough.
The people nowadays did not consider how much money Li Yi had to spend. They ate as much as they could.
They knew that Li Yi was rich and did not care about such things.
"The Zhang family really escaped a disaster. If it were me, I would have let their entire clan be cleaned up."
"So you are not Li Dongzhu, there are more than a thousand people, pregnant women and breastfeeding children."
"At least his family should pay more money. Li Dongzhu is still cooperating with his family. He is too weak and not satisfied."
"I heard the noise when you beat your wife. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net beat her to death, coward."
"Who are you calling a coward? Say it again!"
"No, let's go, stay away, let's talk."
"I won't, you want to find a place where no one is around to beat me, I know."
"Waste, waste, you only know how to beat your wife."
"I won't talk to you, if you dare to hit me, I will call Li Dongzhu."
"Bah!"
The people had disputes when they talked. Those who are capable don't need to be beaten, and their wives are docile and considerate.
Some even coax their wives to be happy at home, wash their wives' feet, and say something outside, and no one in the group dares not to listen.
The incompetent ones will go home and beat their wives when they are bullied outside.
What else can they do? Some people have to rely on bullying their family members to gain a sense of existence.
