Meng Haoran and Wang Wei followed behind, listening in confusion. Even though they had land at home, they actually didn't know how to farm.
Meng Haoran knew that farming was important, but he didn’t know how to grow any crop.
Right now, I feel tired listening to Li Yi explain the specific knowledge of farming to the villagers.
It seems that Li Yi is proficient in everything, including the issue of whether a woman can have children.
The villagers have no other ideas and are used to it.
In a family's tent, a group of people were listening, and after listening, they told others.
"If you don't want the leeks to be spicier, cover them with two more layers of silk. The leeks will turn yellow and the synthesis of chlorophyll will be reduced, so the spiciness will be reduced."
Li Yi came to the leek field in the greenhouse and took a look at the leeks. Due to the lack of photosynthesis, the leeks were not that deep green.
If you continue to block it, it will become more yellow.
"Proprietor, is it too late now? My family didn't plant leeks this year."
The villagers were anxious. As soon as Li Yi said which thing was good, he believed which one would make money.
"Try it, your family is not short of some silk." Li Yi knew that the villagers were rich.
"Sure!" the villagers agreed.
"How much does silk cost now?" Wang Wei asked Meng Haoran. Wang Wei's family was rich and he didn't care about the value of money.
Meng Haoran thought about it: "Five hundred dollars?"
"One hundred and thirty coins, exchange in Chang'an." Li Yi turned around and gave the exact price.
If you bring a piece of silk to Lijiazhuangzi, you can get one hundred and thirty coins, instead of the five hundred and fifty coins before.
As a result, there are fewer people weaving ordinary silk fabrics, and those outside are used for communication and harmony.
The imperial court still collected the original amount, which meant that the imperial court suffered a loss and the people benefited.
Some people thought that the imperial court was stupid and did not know the problems inside.
The court only subsidizes the people, because if you have money and so much finance, why should you bully the people?
"In the future, the price of silk will drop to 80 to 100 yuan. No matter how low it is, its practical value will remain there."
Li Yi set a floating range for the price of silk. If it is less than 80 yuan, everyone will make clothes.
The price of silk that has been stored for a long time, is of poor quality, or is ruined will be lower, and people will use it to see if they can make small clothes.
If that doesn't work, make shoes or boots, layer by layer, and stick them together with glue.
No matter how bad it is, you can't even make shoes. Make paper and sell it to paper-making workshops. This is a good material.
“In the future, cotton planting areas need to be planned. Only when there is sufficient land supply for local food crops and vegetables can cotton be allowed to be grown.
Not counting the Jiedushi area in Hexi Province, it is grown there because the climate is suitable and the local fruits are good.
The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the yields of rice and wheat are low. Highland barley is just fine, but cotton is the best choice and will be a key area in the future. "
Li Yi was talking about silk, and the topic turned to cotton.
The Hexi Jiedushi was located in Xinjiang at that time, and the Christian religion at that time was relatively halal.
In a hotel like that, there are a lot of rules, which is quite annoying.
No drinking or smoking.
Many rules were added later. When did tobacco reach the location of the Catholic Church? It didn't happen before, but it happened later, so you banned it?
Li Yi usually doesn't go to such restaurants to eat. He feels restricted. He goes to eat, not to fight.
There should be no geographical attacks, let alone national hatred.
"So we need to raise less silkworms?" Wang Wei has decided to write a letter home, telling his family not to hire people to raise silkworms.
"Wrong, we need to raise more silkworms. Silk is valuable. A piece of good brocade and satin can be exchanged for thousands of stones of food. Others don't have it. Those who wear silk are proud of it."
Li Yi quickly made it clear, don't give up, keep raising it, we will use it for export.
Spices, silk, porcelain, which one is not profitable?
Do you know how high the trade surplus was before the Opium War?
Wang Wei immediately gave up the idea of writing home. Yes, he could make more money by selling it to outsiders.
Li Yi walked around again and gave instructions on each crop.
The villagers used their heads to record, while the palace maids and eunuchs used their pens to record.
Go back and sort it out, and then select useful things to compile into a book.
People in the imperial court compared Li Yi to Confucius, and Confucius's Analects were summarized by later generations.
Confucius taught in a general direction, mainly focusing on behavioral rules.
Li Yi is particularly specific, including the mutual status and means between countries, farming, fortification, medical care, education, economy...
Confucius did not teach how to grow watermelons to make them sweet. What he taught was the impact of the existence of watermelons on human society.
Li Yi directly talked about what problems he would encounter when planting watermelons and what methods he would take to deal with them.
People in the court felt that what Li Yi said was more practical, and every step brought absolute benefits.
Of course, I occasionally write romantic poems when I am bored.
It took a lot of time for Li Yi to finish speaking and come out in a circle.
"I'm going back, don't send me away." Li Yi said goodbye to the villagers, just coming to relax.
Let's solve the small problems with planting. It's so close. Don't send yourself back to Zhuangzi. It's a visit.
"We won't send it to you, proprietor. When you need the Table of the People, we can give it to you. We can also write the Book of the People for His Majesty. It's not convenient for you to impeach anyone, so we can help."
The village leader Zhang Xiao assured Li Yi on behalf of the villagers that Zhangjia Village is close to Chang'an, and it is rich and populated. ,
In such a village, if an official is caught writing a letter to His Majesty, the official has to avoid suspicion himself, ask for leave and go home to wait for the result.
"I took several Wanmin Biao on the way to Hongnong before, which is enough. I will find you when I use them up. Thank you!" Li Yi clasped his fists.
"You're welcome." "Speak to me if you have anything to say, host." "If we don't like someone, we will go over and block his door."
The villagers were enthusiastic and clasped their fists one after another.
Wang Wei and Meng Haoran: "..."
They once again felt the importance of the people's hearts. This thing can help deal with political enemies.
The most annoying thing is that the less people need it, the more people are willing to give it to them.
Li Yi wants to deal with officials. Does he need to show the Wanmin Biao? How many local officials want to get 10,000 people's tables but can't get them, and the people don't press their fingerprints.
"Third brother, look at my people's hearts. If I say it and write it in the newspaper, I want Wanmin Biao, how many can I get? What official should I be appointed?"
Li Yi said with a smile as he walked back.
"Do you want the throne? The people of Jingzhao Prefecture, if you shout, I will push you to the throne." Li Longji was more direct.
"No, then you should be a second-rank civil official. You can also promote the military official. It's too low. From the ninth rank, you can also get a second-rank military official. A pair."
Li Yi shook his head. What's good about being an emperor? Not free.
"General of the Zhenjun Army?" Li Longji asked Li Yi. The second-rank military official is this.
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded and looked at the others.
The others followed suit and nodded. Whatever, second-rank is second-rank. You will be paid when the time comes, and you will also have a salary when you retire.
You can give your child an official position. You and Princess Yongmu's child, what official position can you give?
"Okay!" Li Longji looked at Princess Yongmu.
Princess Yongmu smiled and narrowed her eyes. She was not happy because Li Yi was promoted. She just thought it was fun.
