Chapter 279 How Can We Lose Our Ambition by Playing with Things?
On the morning of October 5, Chang'an was filled with smoke.
Not all people in Chang'an cooked. They were used to eating out, and some ate cold food.
The smoke was mostly for heating. When there was no coal stove, many families could not afford the charcoal brazier.
There was no kang or bed in the house, but mats on the ground.
The better ones had a couch, a long stool, which could be used to lie down and sleep, similar to a bed.
Therefore, it was normal to find someone frozen to death in someone's home when you woke up in the morning in the winter in the past.
Now coal is cheap, and you can build a kang. You can light a fire once before going to bed at night to make the kang warm.
People covered themselves with clothes and cloth and lay on it to sleep. Even if the temperature of the kang gradually dropped at night, they would not freeze to death.
When you get up in the morning, light another fire, and the house will be warm.
The smoke was so big, but the people did not feel difficulty breathing, and it didn't matter if the coal ash fell on the house and the ground.
Li Yi drank a bowl of meat soup and ate two buns in the morning and went to see the rose-breasted parrots.
The big parrots live next to the square. There is no floor heating in other places, but the pigeons in the place where pigeons are raised are not afraid of the cold.
"Quack, quack, quack..." The parrots are "singing" there. There is nothing in the trough. They are hungry.
Li Yi took the mixed feed, opened the door and went in, adding food to the trough in the small cage.
A group of big rose-breasted parrots ran over and looked at Li Yi. When Li Yi just finished adding food to a trough, the other parrots ran around, trying to get into other "people's" homes to eat.
The other party was anxious. One of the two parrots blocked the mouth of the cage, and the other hurried to eat. After eating a few bites, they changed.
Li Yi added food to each cage one by one. When he added it to the cages of the two single parrots, he added it to the male first.
The female over there saw it and rushed over from her home as quickly as possible, squeezed the male, and started eating.
Li Yi stopped putting food in the trough of the female's cage and started adding water.
The parrots ate two mouthfuls of food and drank a sip of water, looking very comfortable.
"Add a little more floor heating, raise the temperature to more than 26 degrees." Li Yi asked the farmers who were watching the excitement to tell the place where the fire was burning.
Some people ran away.
Li Yi arranged again: "Bring warm water in a large wooden basin, three inches deep, they should take a bath."
A bunch of farmers who were watching the excitement ran away. It was the first time they saw parrots, and so many and so big parrots.
"Boss, can parrots imitate speech?" the farmer asked.
"They? It's hard to make them speak! They are all grown up, but theoretically they can learn. It is said that they accept the voice of little girls quickly."
Li Yi looked for information and had no breeding experience, so he could only do this.
"Boss, there are many little girls in our village. Let the little girls teach. How to teach?" The farmers wanted to hear parrots imitate speech.
They heard that someone raised a parrot and taught it to speak. Ten strings of money was considered a small amount.
If it could speak a few more words, a hundred strings of money would be no problem.
Everything in the village is expensive, and parrots cannot be cheap. They must be able to speak.
"Put it in a quiet room, hold the food the parrot likes in your hand and feed it, repeating a sentence while feeding..."
Li Yi read it according to the information, just give it a try, what if he can learn it?
The big parrot can learn it, and when the little parrot has a little parrot, the big parrot will teach the little parrot to talk.
When talking, water is brought, warm water.
Put it in separate cages, and the farmers watch.
The temperature in the big cage continues to rise, and the parrots feel it.
After eating, they look down at the big basin and start to circle around.
Climbing up and down, finally one parrot seems to feel uncomfortable, jumps to the edge of the basin, pounces in, and washes in it.
Its partner sees it go down and follows it.
The other parrots go in and out, go into the homes of these two parrots, and watch together.
After watching for a while, a parrot ran away, ran back to its own home, and pounced into the basin.
This time everyone knows that it is time to take a bath, and each goes home.
The farmers laughed when they saw it.
They found parrots as interesting as giant pandas, and they had to learn to take a bath.
…
In Heaven and Earth, Yao Chong was invited to come and meet with others.
Zhang Shuo was not there, Zhang Shuo went to Henan Prefecture to serve as the governor of Henan.
Yuan Qianyao did not come, he did not have much contact with others, he was still the governor of Jingzhao.
Song Jing, Bi Gou, Wei Zhigu, Lu Huaishen came, and the third prime minister Su Yan was pulled in by Song Jing and Bi Gou.
Yao Chong was no longer the prime minister, and he joined the group directly.
The first inspection group of the Tang Dynasty had no ability to help others, and there were too many restrictions, so it was still easy to cheat others.
How many of the officials were really clean?
The person who initiated the invitation was Song Jing, who was also tough and rigid.
He wanted to get together once, so that everyone would not always have private exchanges, which was not good for the court.
It was arranged a few days ago, and everyone arrived today.
An accident occurred, Li Yi became addicted to raising birds.
He raised pigeons before, and now he has changed to parrots.
Lu Huaishen knew the reason for raising pigeons, but he didn't tell her. If it got out, Tubo would have no idea how to deal with it.
Others didn't know and thought Li Yi had lost his ambition.
He was content with the status quo and didn't want to do anything else.
"Li Yi should have focused on the development of the Tang Dynasty, but now he wants to raise birds and lose his ambition."
Song Jing began to criticize. He didn't care about the relationship between Li Yi and Li Longji. Anyway, he wanted Li Yi to continue to do things according to the previous norms.
Before he became prime minister, he clearly knew that the Ministry of Justice would be overwhelmed by the number of lawyers, but he still supported Li Yi to send people to fight for the people for free.
Because he thought it was right, and the Ministry of Justice could be overwhelmed.
Now that he is prime minister, he is considering whether Li Yi should continue to come up with good ideas.
The Tang Dynasty needs you, Li Yi, and the court needs you too. How can you stay with birds all day?
"Xiao Yi should have a plan for raising birds." Lu Huaishen said.
"If there is a plan, everyone should know, instead of just tinkering with it alone." Song Jing followed.
"He is not your man, why should I tell you?" Lu Huaishen joined the group, changed his previous appearance, and was just as tough.
When he was prime minister, he was suppressed by Yao Chong, who is he afraid of now?
"I am the prime minister, Li Yi is an official, he should focus on state affairs." Song Jing is so tough.
"I shouldn't let you be the prime minister." Lu Huaishen said to Song Jing again.
"If your majesty doesn't want me to be the prime minister, I will step down." Song Jing did not hesitate at all.
"Then you take down Li Yi's civil and military positions, and you are the prime minister." Lu Huaishen said with a smile.
Song Jing: "..."
He took a deep breath, looked at Lu Huaishen, and suddenly figured out something, saying: "Don't worry, there is always a way."
He thought of Lu Huaishen's confrontation with him, there was nothing wrong, Lu Huaishen was sick a few days ago, and went to Li's manor to see a doctor.
He also stayed in the hospital for three days. Being able to be hospitalized in Li's manor, it is obvious that the disease is more serious.
Now there is nothing to do, and we must support Li Yi.
"I have something to say." Yao Chong sighed and spoke beside him.
