Chapter 1787: The Tribute From the Land Produces a Strong Army

Chapter 1769: The powerful troops produced by Tu Gong (second update)

"Alas!" Li Longji sighed.

Finally, Yi Di participated in the court meeting as an envoy to let Yi Di feel like this.

In the end, he insisted on mentioning the golden wheat field, and his position as emperor seemed quite boring.

There were countless people fighting for the chair, but Brother Yi looked down upon it.

"There will be a performance soon. For the people in the Liyuan, I asked them to stay far away. The voices were too loud and delayed their conversation."

Li Longji briefly introduced the process. He knew that Li Yi did not want to watch the show.

"There will be a program in the evening, and then fireworks will be set off throughout the Jingzhao Mansion. I believe that in a few years, there will be fireworks throughout the Tang Dynasty, but they will have to be controlled by the government.

Private individuals are not allowed to release it, let alone make it. Choose a venue, and the people will see the government's operation on the festive day.

Otherwise, someone will be blown up, someone's house will be set on fire, and good things will turn into bad things. "

Li Yi really doesn't like watching performances. He has seen too many performances and has become numb after seeing them.

He won't come here today, but he can rest in Zhuangzi, read medical books, surgery videos, and write textbooks.

I haven’t done anything since morning and my legs are still sore.

"Doctor Li, can Tubo buy fireworks?" Chidaizhudan had never seen fireworks before, but had read the description in the newspaper.

It seems that the recipe for fireworks is a flying monkey, an explosive pack, and a musket.

"When you go back next year, I will give you a batch." Li Yi became generous, as if he didn't care about the exodus.

There was suspicion in Chi Daizhu Dan's eyes: "Isn't Doctor Li worried about Tibet using fireworks as weapons?"

"Fireworks are fireworks, firearms are firearms, and now these things are gradually being upgraded, such as the detonators I use.

If a place cannot produce its own weapons and relies only on weapons purchased or donated from outside, it will ultimately be unable to defeat the place of production.

In the past, there was little gunpowder. When the quantity increases next year, I will give you fireworks and you can take them back and set them off. "

Li Yi was not worried at all about Tubo using fireworks to make explosive packets. Tubo did not know how to do it. It was not just pouring out the explosives from the fireworks and wrapping them together.

The proportions of propellants and explosives are different. If Tibet, armed with fireworks, could develop flying monkeys, explosive packets, and muskets for war, how powerful would the Tibetan craftsmen be?

How could such a craftsman do so poorly?

When you get back, Princess Jincheng’s craftsmen won’t let you use it again.

"Okay, so good!" Chi Daizhu Dan couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Of course, when you are happy, there are fireworks, but when you are sad, people no longer care.

The singing and dancing started, far away from the top of the steps, for people with lower official positions to watch.

Li Yi drinks beer and eats mainly fennel beans. One fennel bean can be eaten in one minute. He sucks it first and chews it after the taste is almost gone.

Fennel beans are not crispy, but tough. To make them crispy, you have to fry them. Another way is to boil them in water and then dry them in the sun. When you eat them, they are as hard as unpopped corn kernels.

Water droplets appeared on the outside of the large bowl containing ice next to it, flowing down the bowl and onto the rag on the bottom of the bowl.

The rag is made of linen, which is very different from the sack. It is very thin and feels like ordinary cotton.

Li Yi touched it with his fingers, and Li Longji said: "Generally, this kind of cloth belongs to Tugu, and this kind of fine linen cloth is..."

"We have them in Ezhou, as well as stone grinders and silver."

Li Yi first thought of Ezhou. In fact, there is also Laizhou, which is Laizhou in Shandong Province under the jurisdiction of Henan Province.

"Ezhou? Will it be difficult for the local people to travel when the water recedes?" Li Longji said about Ezhou, worried about the people.

Without rain, the water level gradually dropped, making subsequent reconstruction work difficult to come by.

Li Yi looked calm. He believed that the people of Tang Dynasty had absolute resilience.

After the flood, the house was full of mud. I slowly cleaned it up and looked at the field to see how many crops could be salvaged.

It won't take long for the people to return to their original days.

…

"Eat, eat, rest, eat." In Ezhou, which Li Longji and Li Yi remembered, people were helping seedlings in the paddy fields.

Except for paddy fields, all other fields were abandoned.

Many crops in the vegetable field were soaked to death. Cucumbers and eggplants that should have been green have indeed turned yellow.

Don't be too busy dealing with these useless things. Release water in the paddy fields, support the seedlings, and remove the debris washed away by the water.

The Changping warehouse in Ezhou was opened, and Lu Zhengdao recorded how much food had been sent out, and then asked Li Jia Zhuangzi to ask for it.

The common people have seized the opportunity and eat hard. Those who owe others cannot afford it, and those who owe Lijiazhuang can only be owed by proprietor Li.

The boars that are raised to eat well are castrated and slaughtered before the Chinese New Year. The roosters that always fight with other roosters and cannot win are killed.

As for the sows, keep them and don't dedicate them. The newspaper said that the sows don't taste strong if they are not deboned. The main reason is that the male pigs are not castrated and the hormones are not good.

There are also fish, which are washed into the ground by the water. If they are alive, they are stewed. Stew for a longer time to stew the spines, and then take them out of the pot when they are cool.

The recruits brought horses to help with the work, and the horses were harnessed to the carts. A child or an old man who could drive the carts was randomly selected to take charge.

Recruiting soldiers are specifically looking for hard work, such as demolishing houses and moving beams.

The people pick up the beam, which is a thick piece of wood with a rope underneath. There are people standing in a row at each end to pick it up.

The soldiers were recruited and carried on their backs. There was only one row of people, and they could carry them very quickly.

For them, carrying wood is a basic skill.

They eat better when eating. The compressed biscuits they brought are distributed to the people, and the pickles are also distributed.

There are no delicious pickles, but freshly made ones.

Li Longji's salt boat coming down the Yangtze River from Shu passed by and sold it at a very low price along the way.

The recruits simply intercepted a ship, unloaded the salt, and didn’t pay.

This salt is good and clean.

Put more in the stewed fish, and the recruits don’t eat the other meat, leaving it to the people.

Because there are no other seasonings, the stewed fish is fishy.

The recruits eat the fish and millet rice in big mouthfuls without stopping.

After eating until they are 80% full, wipe the sweat off their foreheads, and run back to work.

"Where is the shop selling star anise and fennel? Where did the shopkeeper go? Ask him to take out the goods and let us buy them. The fish is too fishy."

"I guess he will sell them at a high price after the situation stabilizes. We will not buy things from him in the future."

"What is his last name?"

"Mi, last name Mi. My name is Mi Mancang."

"He should sell grain."

"Your Majesty's soldiers are as strong as iron."

"It is said that they were recruited by Li Dongzhu, and Li Dongzhu personally taught them how to train them. They are on the top of Taibai Mountain."

"I have heard that the top of Taibai Mountain is higher than the Red and White Palaces of Tubo. If you adapt to Taibai Mountain, you will have no problem fighting Tubo."

"With such strong soldiers, the Tang Dynasty will be stable and not afraid of war."

"When our lives get better, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net No matter who you beat, you have to donate money like the people in Jingzhao Prefecture. "

"We should find Mi Mancang's family and rob them. At this time, he still cares about his own things."

The people are not used to eating fish. The fish is not cleaned well, without seasoning, and you can't smack your lips when eating it after it cools down.

Mi Mancang, who was scolded by them, was invited to eat with Lu Zhengdao.

"Mr. Mi, is the fish delicious?" Lu Zhengdao smacked his lips, and he ate it hard, even without adding onion sauce.

He felt fishy, ​​but he could bear it.

"Just add some vinegar and star anise." Mi Mancang could eat it, no problem.

"Mr. Mi, someone reported you for selling fake goods. I don't know if I should write a memorial to Chang'an to let the prime ministers distinguish the true from the false."

Lu Zhengdao took another sip of cold water. It was so fishy that his eyes narrowed.

Also, I don't drink anymore. I suddenly don't feel very comfortable. I just need to get through this period of time. Farmers feel that they are all dependent on alcohol.
