Chapter 2354: Riding the Wind and Waves to Return Home

Put aside a pleasant thing for now and talk about it later.

The joy of the festival continued. At noon, Li Longji really invited the people to dinner and spent the money of Li's farm.

Li Longji's money was also kept in Li's farm. Only the money that Queen Wang participated in the dividend would be given to Queen Wang every month.

Queen Wang used it to distribute monthly allowances to people in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs would find someone to send them home.

Those who didn't have a home kept it temporarily, and didn't need to buy anything. They ate all in the farm.

When the palace maids got old, they were sent out and could get married with the money.

Eunuchs were basically not sent out unless they wanted to marry a wife outside.

At present, the Tang Dynasty no longer looked for artificial eunuchs, but those who were born eunuchs were fine.

In the past, eunuchs were castrated and sent to the palace because they couldn't be supported by their families. At least they could survive.

In addition, if the family needed to confiscate their property, the adults had to die, the little girls were sent to the Ye Ting Palace, and the little boys became eunuchs.

Those who were too old or became eunuchs because of injuries were not wanted by the palace.

Now there is no situation where they can't be supported. If there are children at home, the Tang Dynasty World Fund will give money.

If the child dies, the money will stop. The local government will send money once a month, and it will only be given when the child is seen.

If the government officials fabricate the number of children, or deduct money, or conceal the death of the child, it is another problem.

You can't ignore the children because you are afraid that someone will benefit from it.

Children are very cute, at least when they are not naughty.

Li Yi watched the children eat a few bites and then run out to play, play and then come back to eat a few bites, and did not stop them.

Exercise is good, eat a lot.

"Handsome and omnipotent host, your third brother wants you to go over for dinner." The little robot 033 received the message.

"Let's go, call the children."

Li Yi didn't move things, and took Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan's hands on the left and right to stroll over there, two miles away.

"Brother Yi, is it warm at the seaside now?"

When Li Yi arrived at the place, Li Longji didn't mention the previous things at all.

The other party was kicking an iron plate. If it were an ordinary citizen, he would definitely suffer a loss.

Since one party must suffer a loss, it is not unjust for the other party to suffer a loss.

But it was really ordinary people who were bullied, and the people of the two big families were not well off either.

I was right next to them, and they were not dead yet!

Yes, they dared to go over and cause trouble even though I was next to them, clearly not taking me seriously.

"The temperature at the foot of the mountain in the Taishan area is OK, but it's cold on the mountain. I'm afraid of rainy weather, when the road will be muddy, the temperature will drop, and the soldiers will feel unwell."

Li Yi knew that Li Longji wanted to go to Taishan to offer sacrifices to the gods, and play at the beach by the way.

"Wait a little longer." Li Longji thought it made sense, and he would go there when the weather was completely warm, just in time to deal with things here.

"Xiao Yi, is the wind strong at the seaside?" Li Dan, who had also never seen the real sea, asked.

"It's strong, there is no shelter on the sea, and the wind is stronger than in the plains at many times, as strong as a hurricane.

It's better to fly kites in Haizhou now, uh... Qingzhou and Laizhou in Henan Province are the most suitable for flying kites.

But now the local population is small, and more time is spent on life, so there is no time to celebrate the festival."

Li Yi thought of Weifang, where a kite festival is held every year, and all kinds of kites fly in the sky.

Some kites cannot be pulled by human power, so mechanical equipment is used to release and reel in the line.

The people of Haizhou mentioned by Li Yi are indeed flying kites. Their living standards have improved significantly and their income has increased several times.

Taking advantage of the fact that today is the Shangsi Festival, the children asked craftsmen to make kites and formed teams to fly them at the beach. No matter which direction the wind blows, they just fly against it.

While flying the kite, a sharp-eyed child found a few small black dots on the sea surface and looked up to continue looking at the kite.

After waiting for a while, more small black dots appeared, and the small black dots in front became larger.

"Ships, there is a fleet, which fleet is this? It shouldn't be a fishing fleet, the fishing boats went in another direction."

The sharp-eyed child pointed there and shouted, a little nervous, ships from other countries? So many?

"Go tell others quickly, prepare for battle." The older child also thought that the enemy was coming.

They were idle all day thinking about the Tang Dynasty's navy fighting with others and beating the enemy.

Now put it in, the war has begun!

Before the children could report the news, someone on the lighthouse erected on the high ground by the sea had already seen it with a telescope.

Now wait until we are closer to confirm the identity, mainly by the sail and flag.

Not long after, the flag was vaguely seen, blown up by the wind, the angle was not very good, the sail of the ship was adjusted, and the flag floated to the side.

I saw it clearly, the dragon flag, the ship of Datang.

There is no need to look at the others. According to the size and number of the ships, it can only belong to one team, Datang Overseas Grace Group.

Lan Bao led the team, and the personnel who went to Japan have been back for more than a year.

"Quick, send a telegram to His Majesty, Lan Bao's fleet is back, a total of 30 ships, and the draft looks very deep. I don't know how much stuff is loaded."

The observer told his companion next to him, very happy, deep draft means more stuff is loaded.

The telegram was transmitted ticking, and someone else started shaking the phone, double insurance.

"The telegram came, and the phone call came. The telegram said that Lan Bao had returned, and there were 30 ships with deep draft.

The phone call said that the Tang Overseas Grace Group led by Lan Bao had returned, and would soon dock in Haizhou, and all 30 ships were there.

It looked dangerous, and I was afraid it would sink. I don't know how much stuff was loaded, and the waterline was high."

The little robot reported, talking about the telegram first, the content of the telegram was small, and someone else had to answer the phone.

"Okay, it's good to be back. Wait a minute. We'll know if we need more manpower when the ship docks."

Li Yi picked up the wine and took a big sip. He looked at the kites and people flying in the sky and felt that the weather was fine.

Others didn't want to eat. They drank and waited to see what Lan Bao brought back from Japan. It wouldn't be ordinary stones, right?

Xiao Yi said that there were a lot of quartz and limestone in the local area. These things are useless! Datang also has them.

Datang has more iron, which can't be used unless it's copper.

Many people gathered at the seaside of Haizhou. The people in charge of loading and unloading the ship tied their wide belts and draped the carrying cloth on their shoulders.

The sails of the fleet were constantly adjusted. Obviously, the people on the ship were also anxious and wanted to step on the land of Datang as soon as possible.

Minami Tianhezi stood beside Lan Bao and looked at the dock with a telescope.

"Baolang, the dock is so big and there are a lot of people." Nan Tianhezi found that the situation was different from when her team came out.

When they came out, they went to Bohai Bay, turned to Haizhou to take a look, and told them to go to Haizhou when they returned, and not to go to the Yellow River.

At that time, Haizhou only had some small wooden docks, but now there are large docks extending into the sea.

"It has been more than a year, and Datang has been laying railways. I think the railways are ready. I wonder if we can see the train that Li Dongzhu mentioned."

Lan Bao held the telescope tightly, then loosened it, rubbed one hand on his body, and then rubbed it with the other hand, looking very nervous.

It was almost time to get home, and I didn't know how my mother and sister-in-law were doing.
