Chapter 82 Where I Am, Life Is Easier with the Surname 0

Unable to sleep, Li Yi walked alone under the moonlight, while thinking about ways to make the people of Tang Dynasty live a good life.

"The basic need is food, and the root of food lies in land."

"In a place with vast land and sparsely populated areas, there seems to be a lot of land, but a lot of hemp, jujube, and mulberry trees need to be planted. One hundred acres of land is too busy for people."

"Productivity is the key, and production technology must be transformed into productivity."

"There are many hidden households, and some have transformed into Buddhists, so they don't have to pay taxes, so we started to restrict and check them."

"Others had to borrow food when they had no food at home, but when they couldn't pay it back, they had to sell their land."

"At this time, there is still Yonghetiao, so I have to run away."

"A small number of other people are taking advantage of each other, and the polarization is serious. They compete for taxes on a per-capita basis, and the richer people take advantage."

"Reforming tax policy depends on the administration of officials, and administration of officials involves the superstructure."

"We still need to have soldiers. Except for rebellion, any other reforms will be from top to bottom."

"Reforms in the superstructure are part of the distribution of interests."

"Li Longji kept changing prime ministers precisely because he didn't want one prime minister to gain too much power."

Li Yi wanted to understand some reasons. Li Longji is currently unable to check and balance, and at the same time there is not enough centralized power.

A century of imperial court, a millennium of Confucianism, and deep-rooted family values.

Li Longji needs to rely on people to exercise his rights, and the people he relies on are all a group of people who play the same game rules.

And this organization obviously has inherent flaws in promoting people's livelihood.

Li Yi thought of the various reforms in history. Under the influence of Confucianism, all the reforms until the Hundred Days Reform of the Qing Dynasty failed.

In the end, all problems were solved through artillery fire.

The same goes for the reforms in other countries. A lot of blood was shed, and the struggle for interests was so fruitless.

"How much blood will the Tang Dynasty shed? Where to start? Where will it go in the end?" Li Yi muttered, unable to find an answer.

"Let's improve people's lives first, starting around Zhuangzi. Forty-two students, I have to personally teach some additional knowledge, the basis of reform."

With the decision made, Li Yi felt happy. He planned to teach more knowledge to the forty-two students.

Then he would seek officials through various channels and put them in local governments to lead the people out of poverty and become rich.

Go back, take a shower, and sleep.

When Li Yi woke up early in the morning, he was in high spirits and full of sunshine.

Everyone who saw him in Zhuangzi felt better.

Near noon, fifty people who had performed at Pingkangfang came back and thanked Li Yi one after another.

They even hinted to Li Yi that he could chat when he was lonely at night.

Li Yi pretended that he didn't understand and couldn't talk about it. As he talked, it was easy to talk about 'human life'.

After lunch, Li Yi came to the students' area.

Others were reluctant to come because they felt they were too humble, as they were just students.

In Li Yi's eyes, they were all the same. If he had to choose which one was better, he would choose the craftsman.

Which one I respect the most is naturally the veteran.

As for students who study the Four Books and Five Classics... Haha!

Some of the students' families were also there, and they seemed very happy to live in such a big house.

Take care of yourself now and adapt to the environment. You will be assigned things to do in a few days.

"Dear friends, I have some arithmetic stuff here. In the afternoon, except for the person who teaches the dolls, the rest will follow me to the classroom."

Li Yi was not polite at all and directly said that he wanted to teach others mathematics.

The students expressed their thanks one after another. The imperial examination had a special mathematics subject called Mingsuan.

It's just that those who are ambitious don't want to take the exam. They hope to rely on Jinshi, and they can take a step back and take the Mingjing exam.

If these two pass the exam, they can become high officials.

In the afternoon, in the classroom, Li Yi put paper on the wall and wrote with a brush.

The first lesson is called algebraic expressions.

An 'X' was written on it, and the pronunciation was the same. Li Yi really didn't know what to use instead.

And after finishing the substitution, he became confused when writing the formula.

"This is an unknown number. One plus one plus X equals six, so what is X?" Li Yi patiently instilled the symbol X.

When the students listened, it was easy to understand that Sibei, Dongzhu Li actually asked such a simple question.

Li Yi saw the expressions of the students in class and understood what they were thinking.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s simple, right? You will know later, and you will cry sometimes.

Halfway through the one-hour class, the students started to get serious.

2X-5=X-1 appeared on the paper on the wall, and asked what X was.

Li Yi explained it step by step, very slowly. The students frowned and tried hard to adapt to the new way of expression.

Once the class is over, the students gather together to study.

Li Yi went to find a craftsman to make blackboards and chalks. With Zhuangzi's current technological background, neither was a problem.

Includes blackboard erasers made from felt and wooden boards.

"This blackboard is not good. It eats chalk dust. Let's make do with it for two days and get a better one. Then wipe it with a wet rag and ask them which kind of ink is not afraid of water after it dries."

Li Yi decided to ask students to write on the blackboard in the future, and there would be no problem in writing in block letters with chalk.

The days passed and it was late September.

The soldiers and the beauty band left, and Gao Lishi came to take them away in person, saying that His Majesty wanted to see them.

Li Yi gave the beauties a lot of soy sauce, bean curd, and stinky tofu.

The beauties already know that this stuff is not valuable in Zhuangzi, so they usually eat it.

But I'm still very happy, the prices outside are high.

"Now I announce that the collection of crabs has begun." Li Yi sent people away and shouted happily to the people on the Zhuangzi. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Crabs are in season, but wood frogs are not ready yet. You have to continue to wait, and then prepare a pond for wood frogs to hibernate. There will be more wood frogs next year.

This time Zhuangzi's men put on oilskin overalls and oilskin gloves and carried baskets into the water to catch crabs.

People from Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang rushed over to take a look. The crabs that were caught and put into the basket were all money in their eyes.

"We will plant it next year too." People in Zhangjia Village are not jealous, but they also want to make money.

"Ask Boss Li to keep some crabs for the winter, and we can plant small crabs next year."

"I have been catching toads this year and selling them for money. I have made a lot of money. The life of the village has become better. I will raise toads next year."

“If Boss Li hadn’t said to control the quantity, we would have earned more.”

"It's silly. Boss Li said that if you have too much, you won't be able to sell it at a high price. Someone also caught the toads and simmered them in miso. Although the taste is not as good as our village, the price is low."

People in Zhangjia Village watched and discussed.

Everyone in Huangzhuang also wore new clothes, and they sold steam-pot chicken.

Although the bulk of it has to be handed over to the higher-ups, the remaining cents can be equal to a normal year's income.

Li Yi felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the people in each village.

The toads will not be sold at a high price next year, but they can have more toads next year and feed them, and still earn a lot of money.

"As for the people who work for Huangzhuang, we can't sell all the money next year. We must find a way to let them eat well and use it well. If they don't sell it, it won't be counted as income."

Li Yi muttered to himself, if he wanted to avoid the problem of income recording, wouldn't it be enough to feed himself?

Or take it to Zhuangzi here to exchange for daily necessities. Isn't this also a kind of wealth?

If you have a lot of meat, you can make it into bacon in winter, and you won’t have a hard time anymore.
