Chapter 2571: The Gap Between the Old and the New Is Coming
The people watching through the drone were worried, and Yao Chong wondered: "Why does his family have so much surplus grain?"
"Plans can never keep up with changes. The Tang Dynasty as a whole is not short of food, it depends on individuals. Officials work hard, and there is no problem of starvation."
Li Yi could guess why this family got more than ten sacks of food. They were afraid of poverty.
He thought of the Qingmiao Law. It was a good idea, but it was a pity that the problem of the people who implemented it was not considered.
The whole social system has problems. Officials have a high status and should not be killed if they make mistakes.
The minds of a group of officials in the Song Dynasty were not on people's livelihood at all, and the sprouts of capitalism emerged from there.
The court had no ability to control, let alone come up with effective policies, and the outcome was doomed.
The public money of the Tang Dynasty was also a solution to pay officials salaries and force loans with an annual interest rate of 100% because of poverty.
The fundamental reason for poverty is production technology and productivity. It is easier to do things with money, support the army, and deal with officials.
Otherwise, why did he throw technology out like crazy? He didn't dare to exchange technology for money, otherwise it would be too late.
In order to let others promote technology, he even had to bribe others.
Nowadays, bribery is still done, and it is called welfare. Local officials take money and things to do things quickly.
The result is that the Qingmiao Law is not needed. If the people really have no food to eat, they go to the government office for it, and the government office must give it to them, with written receipts and handprints, without interest.
When they can't pay it back, it depends on the specific situation.
The money owed for building a house at home is paid with work, and food is given while working.
Natural disasters, crops are completely destroyed, and the borrowed grain is no longer needed. Continue to give it until the next harvest season, and seeds are also given.
Gamble with it? I can't kill you.
"What about his family's grain?" Su Yan's voice brought Li Yi back to his senses.
"Grain? Dry it in the sun! We don't need to worry about it."
Li Yi didn't think he had to come up with any ideas because of this. If you worry about less food, what's the point of worrying about more food!
"Hard and soft, his family can't finish it. I see that the winter wheat will start to be harvested in more than a month."
Zhang Jiuling was also idle, and he was worried about the grain stored by a family.
It's like asking Li Yi what to do if he buys too much noodles at home and it gets moldy? Throw it away! What else can you do?
If you can buy more, it means you have a lot of money. If you don’t have money, why do you buy a lot?
Some people buy five or ten kilograms of rice at a time, while others buy fifty or a hundred kilograms at a time.
Or they think it’s cheap, but it turns out to be infested with worms. You can dry it to get rid of the worms, but it doesn’t taste good when you eat it. If you don’t like it, you can only throw it in the trash can.
The people you see on the screen are not poor, as can be seen from the clothes and shoes they wear.
“Sell it. The grain from last autumn is considered new grain. It can be a little more expensive in autumn. A dou of rice is 50 cents more expensive.”
Li Yi finally gave a solution, sell it!
“You use the drone to shout and tell them.” Song Jing decided to help.
“The people are not fools. OK, I’ll shout.” Li Yi was helpless.
The drone lowered its altitude and said: What about your rice?
The people below looked up, waved their hands, put their hands on their mouths and shouted: “Sell it! A dou of rice is 50 cents more expensive. Don’t keep so much next year. It takes up space.”
“Okay! Open all the bags for me to see. If it’s okay, I’ll take it all. I’ll give you an extra penny for a dou of rice.” Li Yi continued to shout.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Li." The man shouted and quickly opened all the sacks.
The drone flew to the side and landed. He took some from a bag and held it over.
"After drying, collect." Li Yi took a look and it was no problem.
"Okay, let's dry it now. There's not much water in it."
The man said as he picked up a grain of rice and put it in his mouth and bit it open to show the drone. It was obviously stored well.
"Mr. Li, do you want eggs?" The woman next to him came over to look at the drone and asked.
"No, we can't finish eating all the eggs in the farm." Li Yi refused.
"Oh! My family is going to eliminate an eight-month-old rooster, and I'll give it to you." The woman spoke to the drone again.
"Okay! It just so happens that I have two kilograms of frozen hairtail here, let you try it."
Li Yi agreed. An eight-month-old rooster is the most tender and can be eaten by both the elderly and children.
But he couldn't take advantage of others. If he raised it this way in winter, it would only weigh more than two kilograms, so he would change it.
"Hehehe..." The woman smiled with her head down, embarrassed, she knew she had taken advantage.
Li Yi felt that the exchange was fair. His good hairtail at that time was about the same price as this eight-month-old free-range rooster.
Hairtail was valuable in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone could raise chickens, but hairtail could not be caught.
"You tie up the rooster and put it under the drone. I will send you hairtail."
Li Yi thought that after flying for a while, the rooster would be cooked.
"Okay! Wait for me." The woman ran away and soon caught a rooster, which was tied up.
She tied it to the horizontal bar under the drone and said, "My mother-in-law hasn't gotten out of bed for two days. The doctor said she was not sick. Someone helped calculate and said that her longevity has arrived. I wanted to let my mother-in-law have a good meal at last, so I asked for the hairtail."
"What do you mean longevity has arrived? Carry your mother-in-law to this grain drying field. I'll go right away and tell others to collect the grain first. Hurry."
When Li Yi heard this, longevity? I didn't say anything! Who dares to determine someone's longevity?
"Can he still live? Great, I'll go now, everyone, hurry up and put away the things that have been dried, Master Li is coming, hurry up, Master Li said..."
The woman ran home shouting, and the others hurried to put away the things. Some people had dried their things and left, but they still had to help put away the things.
They didn't know why, but anyway, what Master Li asked them to do was not wrong.
Li Yi ran away. He knew the place. He went to the yacht and called Guo Ziyi by the way.
Guo Ziyi was one kilometer away. When she heard what the little robot said, she rushed towards the pond.
It took Li Yi three minutes to reach the pond. Guo Ziyi was waiting for him. He ran one thousand meters in two minutes and forty seconds on complex terrain.
Both of them were panting and looked at each other and smiled.
"Go up, get on the plane, rescue people, I don't know what the disease is, I've been lying there for two days, I guess it's neurological."
Li Yi finished speaking holding his breath, and then boarded the yacht while gasping for breath.
The two ran to the yacht deck and found the helicopter. Li Yi checked the instruments, started it, and took off.
The plane buzzed past, the nurses in the hospital were also running around, and the personnel in the equipment rooms were in place.
Clear the large platform in front, leaving a place for the helicopter to land.
More drones took off, accompanied by two fixed-wing helicopters.
Li Longji and others were cheering, and hurried over to bring the person back for treatment.
The helicopter flew at a low altitude, and the people below looked up to see, what happened? It must be Dongzhu Li!
Eight minutes later, the helicopter arrived at the location and began to land, shouting at the same time to keep others away.
The helicopter landed and the propellers continued to rotate without stopping.
Guo Ziyi went down, picked up an "old lady" in her fifties, ran back, and let the old lady's son and daughter-in-law get on the plane.
The helicopter immediately took off and buzzed away again.
The drone flew over and told everyone to continue drying things.
The people in the grain drying field were envious. When they got sick, the doctors they called for said they were fine, and the fortune tellers said they were lucky.
Dr. Li personally flew over to pick up the patient. He felt that even death was worth it, but it seemed that no one died abnormally in Lijiazhuangzi Hospital.
