Chapter 2239: The Gorgeous Clothes Make the People More Cruel

Water curtains were set up at important places along the Luoshui River, and large screens were placed in the Luoyang Palace.

The folk performance teams agreed that all performances from the 30th to the 15th of the first lunar month would be distributed to places without screens.

The expenses were paid by the court, and they only had to perform.

People from the Liyuan, Pingkangfang, and Sigongfang were in Lijiazhuangzi, transmitting data through drones.

The people of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty experienced the technological benefits of more than a thousand years later, and Li Yi exchanged for a large screen.

The large screen is not a disposable item and can always be used in the future.

Each fang in the Luoyang Palace prepared a big pot to cook dumplings in the evening.

The same arrangement was made outside the city, and the people needed to spend money.

According to the head count, three coins per person, buy rice to eat, enough for a family of several people to eat for a day.

However, there are dishes in the evening, which is guaranteed to make back the cost, and four meals are provided.

The night of the 30th, the noon of the first day, the morning of the fifth day, and the night of the fifteenth day.

The money invested by Lijiazhuangzi, Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion, Tianshang Renjian, Chaotang, and the Tang Dynasty World Fund.

Not only Henan Prefecture, but also the people of Jingzhao Prefecture had to pay three coins. Children under ten years old and the elderly over sixty years old were not charged, and the disabled and the sick were also exempted.

"Brother Yi, some local big families have begun to invite the people to dinner, just like us."

On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, many people only drank a bowl of millet porridge, ate two bites of pickles, and added a tea egg, which was three-quarters full.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and Li Longji was a little hungry. He had not eaten before seven o'clock, so he came to Li Yi to eat and chat.

Li Yi put out sugar-fried chestnuts, watermelon seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, some sunflower seeds, some peanuts, preserved fruits, sweet potato strips, sesame candy and other messy things.

"We deliberately told them what we should do, and they should cooperate, and by the way, we can win the hearts of the local people."

Li Yi said while pouring tea. It was not Kung Fu tea, but brewed in a teapot.

He changed his clothes carefully, and finally took off his white coat and changed into a Su embroidery.

Ji Yizheng's outfit, which was covered with Suzhou embroidery from inside to outside, was worth a hundred strings of cash, and his outer robe was worth fifty times that.

He cherished the five million-dollar outfit very much. It was embroidered with blue sea and blue sky, with a transition in the middle.

As long as he moved, or the light changed, the waves would rise and fall, the clouds would float, and there would be many gradient colors, which was similar to laser anti-counterfeiting.

The people of Suzhou raised funds and spent two years, working day and night, using a large number of embroiderers to make clothes for him.

More than twenty sets of defective products were produced, and those defective products were not comparable to the clothes on Ji Yizheng.

He didn't want to wear them, so he bought the defective ones and planned to wear them later. This one would only be worn for a while.

It wasn't a matter of money. It was a treasure. He wished he could wear a white coat on the outside.

This dress didn't need pearls, gems, or gold foil to add value. Putting those things on the clothes was a blasphemy to the clothes.

Li Longji took the teacup and saw Yi Di hiding behind him: "Change it, the defective products can't be seen."

"Okay!" Li Yi got up and left to change a set. The so-called defective products are that some silk threads are not the right color later, and some are embroidered with the wrong line.

The embroiderer knows, but how can the person wearing it compare?

After changing, Li Yi is in a much better state. He was very reserved just now.

However, this set is different from the previous one. The clouds, sea, and sky are not the same.

Li Longji peeled chestnuts and ate them while they were hot. They were not delicious when they were cold. Seeing Li Yi's natural posture, he nodded: "Brother Yi is really handsome."

"People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles." Li Yi was modest, and he thought he was modest.

"According to your method, His Majesty has sent people to send rewards and praise the big families for caring about people's livelihood. It will be in the newspaper tomorrow."

Li Longji said while holding the peeled chestnuts. He was satisfied with Li Yi's operation, an open conspiracy.

The noble families who were pushed by Li Yi to make money in Huazhou, Guozhou, Shanzhou, Shangzhou, Zhengzhou, Haizhou and other places must win the hearts of the people.

They should win the hearts of the people. Li Yi asked Li Longji to reward them and said it in the newspaper.

The people will understand when they see the newspaper that His Majesty cares about us and asks the local noble families to contribute.

That is, others contribute money and effort, and Li Longji wins the hearts of the people.

The noble families did make money, and they dare to say privately that it is their own favor and has nothing to do with His Majesty?

It has nothing to do with conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy.

The noble families know the situation, but they must be obedient and take the benefits. If they are unwilling to take the benefits, they will probably pay the lives of the family.

They can't even hate it. It was agreed at the beginning that they would give you a way, you invest, arrange manpower to manage, and make money.

If you take the benefits but don't do the work, is it okay? Take money from people and eliminate disasters for them!

If you take money but don't do things, even if Li Yi's committee at that time is useless.

It may be okay in front of others, such as Sulu of the Turks, who took money but did not do anything.

Li Yi was not used to his bad habits. He would not give money, send troops to fight you, and would not agree to peace.

I forgive you today, but if the Xi and Khitan rebel tomorrow, will I also forgive you?

Li Longji was relieved by this. The aristocratic families made money and paid money, and the people supported me.

Li Yi took another look at his clothes, and still carefully grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and peeled them. He did not have nails, so he could not pick the edges of the sunflower seeds. If he picked too much, his fingers would hurt.

"Third brother, when we make money from overseas trade next year, conflicts will arise among the big families in various places.

We limit their quotas and how much cargo to go out to sea, and they will choose a leader first.

For example, in Laizhou, several small families choose one, and then report the family's situation and investment to the court.

For the first trade, the distribution can be made according to their choice, and the chosen family must pay a lot of price to get the position.

When the second trade, the court will appoint another local family as the leader to suppress the chosen one. "

Li Yi said as he put a dozen sunflower seeds in front of Princess Yongmu next to him. He didn't eat them, but pinched them for Princess Yongmu.

Li Longji narrowed his eyes and then smiled. He was very good at this method. He always changed the prime minister. Why?

He used the prime ministers to balance. In history, when Bi Gou was sick, why did he care so much?

Bi Gou had a good relationship with both Buddhism and Taoism, otherwise there would not be the situation where the Buddhists and Taoists would make things difficult for him.

Bi Gou's family is also a family of officials, and there is a group of people supporting him.

What Yidi said just now was to instigate and alienate the families in the same place.

So what if your family is powerful? You paid the price Get the first place, make money, and other families will be jealous.

If you change again, will others still support you? Others already know how much money overseas trade makes, and whoever is selected will target you.

Others who are not selected will further listen to the court and express their opinions to His Majesty in order to get the first place in the future.

Use benefits to lure and drive them, so that the major local families cannot be united.

Oh! This Su embroidery is really good. It looks good on Yi Di. My daughter also smells good when she eats sunflower seeds.

The more Li Longji looks at his son-in-law Yi Di, the more he likes it. Sometimes it feels that Yi Di always suffers losses, and sometimes he understands how cruel Yi Di's methods are.
