Chapter 2550: Landlords Are Short of Food but the People Are Not Affected
"The greenhouse is in short supply, and new seeds can only be cultivated without going out! Even though the airship is good, its cost is as much as twenty steamships..."
When Bi Gou and others entered the room, Li Yi was fiddling with the abacus and muttering sadly.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan were beside them, with rich expressions on their faces, and they felt a bit of pain.
Bi Gou and others showed similar expressions. They wanted to laugh, but they had to hold back with all their strength. It was very painful.
"Xiao Yi!" Bi Zou asked.
"Ah? Lao Bi and Lao Song, you are here. Come on, serve tea. Serve good tea. The distinguished guests are here, no matter whether there are gifts or not."
Li Yi's calculations were disrupted and he stood up to say hello.
A group of people: "..."
"There is no shortage of things in your village. Each of us wrote a happy word."
Bi Gou first took out the calligraphy scroll from his sleeve, and the others also took it out.
"This is a great gift, Wen Tian Xiaolan, please put it away quickly."
Li Yi was indeed satisfied. Other things were worthless, only the words of the prime ministers and assistants could be passed down to the family.
Everyone in Tuan'er is fine. Everyone worth saving must be valuable.
Just like what he wrote himself, it was gone after he finished writing it. I heard that the prescriptions he prescribed were taken away at high prices.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan collected the copybooks and left, while the little robot was responsible for making tea.
"It needs to be framed. Li Lang likes to collect calligraphy. I'll go to my father to get it."
Princess Yongmu thought for a while and decided to find someone to do the calligraphy.
She said to ask for it, not just because Li Longji wanted it, but because Li Longji asked others to write it. He would draw ten paintings and write ten words by himself.
The emperor's grandfather also wanted to write and draw, the serious kind.
"Xiao Yi, that airship of yours! The price difference between transportation back and forth..."
Bi Gou glanced at the account books on the small table. He didn't believe the state of the debt.
"Yes! It's not easy for the farmer uncle to farm. Even if we lose money in terms of price difference, we are still lucky. Everyone said that since the Tang Dynasty airship was launched, the farmer uncle has no need to worry about selling his vegetables."
Li Yi plagiarized an advertising slogan. He used to buy things on that platform, usually beer.
He didn't dare to buy anything else. There were too many fake ones. Things that were promised to be genuine leather were sent to them as artificial leather.
It is a fraud, but no one cares about it, and the law enforcement agencies do nothing because they get the benefits.
"There will always be a profit, right?" Song Jing said from another perspective.
"You mean the cost? The cost of building an airship? Rubber. Datang hasn't started harvesting it yet, so it's early."
Li Yi crooked the building again, what profit? Rubber is not a cost? Brought back tens of thousands of miles away.
"Gangrou, we just want to know how much money your family made this year." Zhang Jiuling said directly.
"More than 100 million yuan, I will donate 50 million yuan to the Tang Dynasty World Fund later."
Li Yi didn't hide it from Zhang Jiuling. He told you that I do have a lot of money. If I make too much and have nowhere to spend it, I will donate it.
"Drink tea, drink tea, this tea is good, it's full of buds!"
Su Ting once again smoothed things over, he was used to it.
Everyone had nothing to say now, so they donated half of the money they earned.
The key point is that Li Yi didn't include this in his taxes, he paid taxes normally, and then donated extra money.
Everyone was embarrassed, thinking about how much Lijiazhuangzi earned, but they donated half of it. They said they would donate.
"Xiao Yi, we came here just to ask what we have for lunch. We want to eat with you."
Yao Chong broke the embarrassment, what do we have to do with Xiao Yi! Coming here during the Chinese New Year is considered a surprise.
"Eat seafood!" Li Yi doesn't want to cook, so let others do it and eat here.
He knew that everyone came here not to eat, but to ask about money. Now that money was no problem, there must be other problems.
When it comes to seafood, you don’t have to eat buttered seafood pot. That’s a Western tradition. The most annoying thing in China is the buttered pot.
There are generally three types of Chinese soups. One is to put some oil in a pot, pour in water, boil it and put things in it.
One is the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall series. The soup is very thick, and you can taste the richness of it with many ingredients.
The third type is the spicy Sichuan boiled cabbage series, which turns the thick soup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall into a clear soup.
There is no superiority or inferiority.
…
"Brother Yi, is it snowing again?"
It was snowing while eating, and Li Yi was looking for everyone upstairs. It had not snowed when he went there, but it had fallen while eating.
Li Longji didn't feel anything when he saw snow in the past. Snowing in winter is normal. Why can't it snow in Luoyang?
And knowing that there will be a flood next year, he can't calm down anymore. He feels that every snowflake is not innocent.
“Actually, there are ways to bring down the rain from the sky in advance, but wherever it hits, the local area will have to bear the rain.
If it hits the upper reaches, the water will still rush downward, not as much as during drought and hail.
We can only do our best to do a good job in drainage work this year, and don’t mess with the evacuation procedures. We are organized. "
Li Yi had no choice in the face of this natural disaster. Fortunately, he could arrange how to avoid it in advance.
Therefore, when Dayu controlled the floods, it was better to remove them than to block them.
Imagine the scene at that time. A group of people with no primary school education watched the huge torrent flowing by.
At this time, they actually still have the ability to block and dredge, but they don’t even have any better tools!
Isn’t such a nation worth being proud of?
"The ice hiding place should be placed in a high place. The newspaper wrote about it before. Let's ask again if there is anyone who is naive and doesn't trust us. Get it there quickly."
Li Yi began to think about the problem of ice in summer. People can make some ice and sell it in summer.
But some people don't believe it. They think it's too expensive to ask him to move away. They think it's okay and they are tired of it.
"It's easy. The government will send people to arrest and take away those who disobey."
The Tang Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty wanted to expand the palace, but the people disagreed with the demolition and had to not expand.
Which people dare to say no if the Tang Dynasty wants to expand? If you are asked to move, you move. If you don't move, you will be arrested and beaten and taken away. Your home will be destroyed.
Li Yi: "Well!"
He agreed. Those who don't listen to the advice will be forced. What? Do you dare to rebel?
The scenes in movies and TV dramas cannot appear. In critical moments, the people don't move. Everyone persuades them, and finally drags the "good people" to death.
In fact, Li Yi was overthinking. After seeing the newspaper, the people took the initiative to move their positions. There are low-lying places in Chang'an, and they need to store ice.
The newspaper said that it would be flooded next year. The people took it out immediately while it was cold and found a new place.
For example, a village is located on high ground. We negotiated with the villagers, paid them money, and then dug the frozen soil in the middle of winter to build a cellar to store ice.
The villagers agreed to take the money, but after seeing the cellar being dug, they asked who would own it if it was no longer used to store ice.
When they learned that it belonged to the village, they didn’t want the money. You dig, and we will tell you where to dig. We wanted to dig a cellar before, but we didn’t have enough manpower.
It’s right here. Don’t worry. We guarantee that you won’t find any water. Go ahead and dig! The place you dug before was also good. Dig another one. Come on!
