Chapter 661: Land Use Change with a Sense of Closeness to the People
Chapter 662: Feelings of being close to the people and changing the land use (fifth update)
"It's my turn, it's my turn, don't show off, it will be your turn later."
In the fields next to Gaoling County in Jingzhao Prefecture, one person pushed another person away and took over the work of the pressure well.
It was not far from midnight at this time, and everyone lit a pile of wormwood to drive away mosquitoes and took turns to press the well.
The well water flowed out continuously, entered the canal, and was distributed to each family's fields.
It had not rained for two consecutive months, and everyone relied on the well water for irrigation.
All the counties were pressuring well water, including the fields outside Chang'an City.
Li Longji's family, as well as Li Yi and Guo Ziyi watched the people press water at a location of 55 miles south of Chang'an City.
The water network has not been built here, and it can be connected to the water network at a location of 40 miles.
Guo Ziyi came back and returned the gun to Li Yi. The dead brothers were preserved with salt, burned to ashes, and buried in the Forbidden Garden.
A monument to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty was erected in the Forbidden Garden.
Li Longji went to burn incense and paper in person.
The people of the Tang Dynasty valued incense and paper very much. They were afraid that if they died, no one would burn paper for them, and they would have a hard time down there.
"Master, after the war, the brothers who survived will be better at fighting. If we fight again, there will definitely not be more than a hundred brothers who will die."
Guo Ziyi blamed himself. He thought it was because he did not command well.
He killed the enemy before they were completely defeated. The enemy fought back.
He had used up all the bullets in his gun and brought them back to Li Yi.
Li Yi disassembled and reassembled the gun, and the magazine was full.
He fired two shots at the distance and held it for Li Longji to watch others watering there.
Li Longji had no desire to shoot. He kept looking at the people in the fire area who were pumping wells.
"Brother Yi, the steelmaking workshop in your village has been redesigned. When the good steel comes out, it will be made into guns. How about this?"
Li Longji touched the position of the safety and calculated the weapon replacement of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yi asked people to set up the table and stools and prop up the barbecue grill.
"Brother San, the accuracy of a gun depends on the person. The gun we made ourselves cannot compare to the current one. It uses paper shell bullets, rear loading, and flintlock.
If it is not rifled, the effective range is more than 100 steps. If it is rifled, the range is more than 600 steps.
With this gun, there is no way to compete with the enemy's thousands of guns. No matter how far the effective range is, within 500 steps, the number determines the outcome."
Li Yi was very embarrassed. How to evaluate this? Can you say which gun is guaranteed to be powerful?
When paper shell bullets first came out, each gun was different. The shooter must be familiar with his gun to achieve a high hit rate.
The gun can only seek the average, and the talent is the most important.
Like this little Guo next to him, his gun sense is enviable.
Many times he does not need to aim. When he sees you as a small dot, he does not even need a scope. He just holds the gun horizontally and fires.
The key is to hit the target. This is the feeling.
Like shooting in basketball, the moment you shoot, you know whether the ball can go in.
Li Longji understood and said happily: "Then my Tang Dynasty is invincible?"
Li Yi shook his head: "It depends on what army they encounter. If the Yulin Flying Cavalry encounters another army, even if their weapons are twice as good, they will still lose."
"What army is so powerful?" Guo Ziyi was not convinced.
"Rabbit Army, there is no problem of collapse, fight to the last man." Li Yi smiled.
"Rabbits can also form an army, Li Dongzhu really likes to joke." Guo Ziyi said jokingly, but his expression was serious.
"Yes, joking. But I hope that the Yulin Flying Cavalry can do it. As long as the flag in their hearts does not fall, they will fight to the death." Li Yi's tone was very calm.
Laughter came from the well over there from time to time.
It was tiring, but seeing the water flowing into the fields continuously, people actually had a different kind of excitement at night than during the day.
"Let's go over and have some barbecued skewers." Li Longji suggested.
"Okay." Li Yi nodded.
When the team passed by, the people in Li's village quickly cut the meat and put it on the skewers. There was frozen meat on the car.
The workers didn't understand at first, but then they understood when they saw the people from Li's farm.
"Everyone, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore, Li Dongzhu is coming to see us, there are grilled skewers to eat."
Someone greeted the tired people lying down to sleep.
The people who were called up were annoyed at first, but then they were no longer sleepy or tired, waiting to eat skewers.
Taohong and eight palace maids and eunuchs surrounded Xi'er. Xi'er came and slept for more than two hours in the afternoon. Now she is energetic.
He can eat grilled skewers, grilled chicken skewers, and skewers with meat removed from the bones, as long as there are no tendons.
So now he eats noodles, instant noodles.
He picked them up with a small fork and ate them slowly. To him, all food is the same.
When the first grilled chicken skewer was pulled off and placed on the plate in front of him, he threw away the fork and reached out to grab it.
It was just warm when he grabbed it. He held it with his little hands and suddenly turned to Li Longji: "Qi, Qi!"
Li Longji paused slightly, then ran over as fast as he could, lowered his head and opened his mouth, and put the small piece of chicken into his mouth.
"Chuck, chuckle~~" The little guy seemed very happy.
Li Longji chewed the chicken carefully, swallowed it, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, kissed the baby's face, and laughed with the baby.
His eyes were red. He had so many children, and it was the first time that a child gave him food like this.
The palace maids and eunuchs were busy as usual, but they knew that the position of the prince was determined.
No one could take the position of the prince away without Li Dong as the main auxiliary.
"Qi, Qi." The little guy grabbed another piece of chicken and gave it to Queen Wang.
After Queen Wang ate, he grabbed the meat and ate it himself.
"You won't give me a bite?" Li Yi said with a pursed mouth, looking hurt.
The little guy looked at him, giggled, and put a piece of chicken directly into Li Yi's mouth.
Li Yi quickly opened his mouth, ate the meat, and used his forehead to touch the little guy's forehead.
The little guy was addicted. He ate a little for himself, gave it to others, and handed it to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi knelt on one knee and ate the small piece of meat given to him by the little guy in a manner of coordinating the height.
Li Yi took a few skewers of meat with his hands behind his back to look at the pressure well. When the little guy gave the meat to the palace maids and eunuchs later, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt to receive it.
The people who came to eat the skewers didn't know that at this moment, a position was determined.
The positions of the palace maids and eunuchs who ate the meat given by the little guy changed. They didn't care about others. Eight people, eight directions, surrounded the little guy.
Guo Ziyi reached out to take the gun from Li Longji's hand and half-crouched in front of the little guy.
"Hai, Hai." The little guy wanted to say "shui", but the pronunciation became "hai".
Li Yi never looked back, walked to the side of the pressure well, stretched out his hand for others to give him, he pressed it, and felt the power of pumping water.
"Okay, UU reading book www.uukanshu.net Now the groundwater is very sufficient, with the current pressure well, it can't be pumped dry. There are many mosquitoes at night, didn't you touch the toilet water?"
Li Yi sniffed his nose, and didn't smell the smell of toilet water.
"Toilet water is too expensive." The person standing next to him whispered.
"Just use soap, don't wash too clean." Li Yi gave a solution.
"Master Li, can this land be planted with cotton next year?" The person standing next to him asked.
"No, we can only change mulberry and hemp into cotton fields, and other lands have to grow grain." Li Yi denied.
"But some families have changed it privately and are preparing to grow cotton." The man said, complaining.
"Whose family? Tell me, I'll deal with him." Li Yi asked directly, without official rhetoric, he has the ability to deal with people, why bother to play tricks.
