Chapter 72 Your Majesty, Li Yi Has Something Good Again

Before the busy farming season, there were more and more idle people.

I say I am free, but in fact I have less work to do, including raising silkworms.

Many men came out to find work, and some were recruited to build water conservancy and roads.

Li Longji knew what Li Yi and Li Longji had said about canceling the adjustment and imposing commercial taxes, but he didn't dare to move.

Li Longji is waiting for his own army to be trained.

Otherwise, Li Longji would feel that he could not handle it if the interests of various families were affected and military chaos or the like occurred.

In the morning, Li Yi took another 20 people who had learned several suturing operations and practiced finger pointing, and then ran to the river to watch the team fishing for mud.

On the Bashui River, there was a boat with people standing on it, and a large wooden frame on the boat.

On the wooden shelf is the recommended hand hoist designed and manufactured by Li Yi, which is the tool for the pulley block.

Then a large iron spoon like an excavator was thrown into the river and tied with a chain.

As the boat moved, a large ladle of silt was caught in the mud. The people on the boat clattered and grabbed the chain of the gourd, and the iron ladle was slowly lifted up.

If you don't have this hand hoist, you need to use a long pole to clean up the mud. There is a spoon at the head of the pole, which is similar to a excrement spoon.

Take it slowly, little by little.

Li Yi obviously has a good method and money, so how could he do it like that?

He hires people to work so that others can earn more money to survive the winter.

One is to increase life span, the other is to feel good.

Doctors want every patient they handle to be healthy, and rich people want to help others and gain gratitude from others.

In the Tang Dynasty, many wealthy families contributed money to build bridges and roads. If someone died and had no money to bury the deceased, they also had to spend money to help.

Especially for people in the same village, if a rich person does not have a good reputation and the villagers do not support him, something will happen.

It doesn't matter whether Li Yi's village has money, so for several purposes, he found people to pay more and fish for silt.

The silt fertilizes the fields, and the river has less silt, making it easier to sail boats. He plans to take advantage of this river's convenience.

Now he is too busy to spare any time, otherwise the water transport would have been used long ago.

"Dongzhu Li." As soon as Li Yigang came over, a man dressed as an official greeted him.

Li Yi recalled that he had an impression of Zheng Guang, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Water Department.

Zheng Guang also brought a few people with him. Even though he was only a seventh-rank official, he couldn't compare with the prime ministers.

The member of the Ministry of Water Resources has real power and has many subordinates.

"Is Mr. Zheng okay?" Li Yi handed over his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for asking. What is this thing that can be pulled a few times to make the big iron spoon rise a little?" Zheng Guang asked, pointing to the hand gourd.

The iron ladle is heavy and requires many people to pull directly.

If it is a counterweight, using the principle of leverage, and there is a big stone behind it, the boat needs to be larger, otherwise the stone and the iron spoon used to pick up the mud will not be able to bear it.

Those who followed Zheng Guang were curious: Zheng Yuanwailang was still so polite to the people of Yizhuangzi? Although this Zhuangzi has some money.

Zheng Guang didn't know what his servants thought, but he knew what Li Yi was capable of. His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the Queen were all joking along with him.

"If Dongzhu Li is willing to help, I, oh, I can make a commendation to Dongzhu Li..."

"You're welcome, Zheng Yuanwai. It's just a hand hoist. I have the drawings. Zheng Yuanwai can use it not only for dredging, but also for loading and unloading cargo at the dock."

Li Yi didn't wait for Zheng Guang to finish, waved his hand and agreed.

He didn't need anyone's help in filling the watch. The things he took out increased his life a lot. It was obviously promoted by the court. How could Li Longji not know?

Not to mention helping to train troops, it is useless to send a seventh-grade petty official list.

"Qingsong, which craftsman has the drawing of the hand gourd? Get a copy." Li Yi turned to the eunuch and said.

Qingsong turned around and ran away. Zheng Guang's followers were stunned. Did the eunuchs and maids listen to him?

I thought they were sent by the palace to see the water conservancy project.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Hello, proprietor!"

People on the nearby silt fishing boat saw Li Yi one after another and shouted hello.

Li Yi waved his hand, feeling full of accomplishment at this moment.

It's like curing a patient and receiving a banner.

So he shouted: "When you go back in the evening, each person will bring two salted duck eggs. You know that there are too many ducks in the village and there is no place to put the eggs, right? Help me eat some."

There was a sound of thanks and laughter on the river.

The farmer responsible for transporting the silt on Zhuangzi had a smile on his face.

The mud is good, but the key is that there are loaches in the mud.

Those who fish out mud are just working, and everything they fish out belongs to Zhuangzi.

Naturally, the loach belongs to Zhuangzi and can be eaten.

When Qingsong brought the drawings, Li Yi handed them to Zheng Guang.

Zheng Guang carefully put it into his arms and continued to stare at the hand gourd. The more he looked at it, the more magical it became.

One person can pull something that weighs more than ten people without any effort, but the clattering time is a bit long.

After watching for a while, he hurriedly left with his people, going back to the Ministry of Works to report to the Minister.

What I took away was not only the drawings, but also a physical object.

Wei Zhigu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not know that his fate had been changed. He was in a good mood, and his majesty even invited him to eat.

Very motivated to work.

Then I saw Zheng Guang who reported to the higher level, and at the same time I learned that Li Yiyou had invented a new thing.

"In the future, if anything happens to Li Yizhuangzi, you can come to me directly." Wei Zhigu knew the consequences of Zheng Guang's report.

He understood that if he didn't jump up the ranks, and if Shangguan Zheng Guang didn't pay attention to it, he would lose the time to discover good things quickly.

At that time, Zheng Guang's Shangguan will have to be dealt with. Zheng Guang bought himself time and protected Shangguan at the same time. Good.

Zheng Guang almost cried, that's what he thought.

I even thought about making meritorious deeds and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net getting promoted.

After he left, Wei Zhigu struggled to drag the gourd to Xingqing Hall. In theory, he should go to the Political Hall to find the prime minister.

He knew where the political hall was and could walk there with his eyes closed.

But he just wouldn't go and held his breath.

When I arrived at Xingqing Palace to seek an audience, I saw three prime ministers after entering.

He dragged the gourd in with difficulty: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guang, a member of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, learned of a magical weapon from Li Yizhuangzi."

"Another divine weapon?" Yao Chong asked, looking at the thing with the iron chain.

"Your Majesty, with this thing, one person can use ten men." Wei Zhigu ignored Yao Chong and said directly to Li Longji.

Li Longji personally stepped forward, took the drawings, read the instructions for use, and ordered people to make arrangements.

After a while, a large shelf was set up outside the hall and hung up with a hand hoist.

Below, several strong men moved a large stone lock.

Wei Zhigu took action, put on the stone lock and hung it on one end of the hand gourd.

Then he stood on the other side, tugging at the chain.

Pulling and pulling, the stone lock weighing a thousand kilograms lifted off the ground and rose. Wei Zhigu continued to pull, and the stone lock rose higher and higher.

Li Longji looked at it, took a deep breath, and said, "If it is used together with Jue Kai, it will be easier to carry heavy objects."

What he was thinking was right, a crane, or a tower crane would be more accurate.

The three prime ministers were naturally surprised when they saw Wei Zhigu's frail old body lifting such a big and heavy stone lock.

"Li Yi...sigh..." Yao Chong couldn't say a complete sentence.

Zhang Shuo followed the example of Li Yi he had seen before and shrugged his shoulders. He did not want to talk and was not afraid of comparing himself to others, but Li Yi was not a human being at all.
