Chapter 956: Intent on Creating a Glider to Sow Discord
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March in the lunar calendar and the middle of May in the solar calendar, and the weather was getting hotter.
The boys in Jingzhao Prefecture wore short-sleeved tops, big pants, and small sandals woven with grass.
The children of wealthy families wore small leather shoes and held spring pistols to look for enemies to attack.
A small spring pistol cost two strings of cash, and the most expensive thing was the spring.
The rest was worthless. If the pistol broke, it could be replaced for free.
"It's time to eat, come and wash your hands." The "teacher" of a school in a district greeted the children.
Children of all ages ran to the place where they washed their hands to get soap, and washed their little faces, wiping them clean and waiting for dinner.
"Starting next month, everyone doesn't have to pay, and your majesty will pay for everyone's meals.
Go back and tell your family that your majesty is thinking about every Tang Dynasty person."
The teacher took out the food, bamboo plates, and small soup bowls with thick bamboo tubes.
Today's food is more than twice as good as yesterday's, with large pieces of fish meat in it, and it tastes sweet. The children like to eat sweet now.
Fish were fished from the water nets. Li Longji sent people to fish. If the people could fish, why couldn't I?
The fresh fish caught in the morning were made into different dishes of different sizes.
Li Longji was rich. Li Yi pointed out the places where there was gold. A large gold sand mine was newly discovered.
Other iron mines and coal mines given by Li Yi also started to operate.
The iron produced was used to make farm tools, kitchen knives, sickles, spear heads, and bow arrows for the people.
The people needed weapons to hunt wild animals.
The price was low, and it was still profitable for the cost. Part of the profit belonged to Li Longji.
The newspaper sellers would go to school after selling newspapers in the morning.
Only the shoe shiners were still shining shoes. They couldn't go to school. They worked to supplement their family income.
"Eat, Xiao Geda, today's meal." A push cart stopped in front of a shoe shiner.
The pusher greeted and took out the plate at the same time.
"I know, thank your majesty, thank you uncle Rong." Xiao Geda hurriedly washed his hands in the aconite next to him.
Then he saw the braised fish slices: "Uncle Song, we have braised fish meat today."
Little Geda grinned. He liked to eat braised food, and braised meat would be even better. Unfortunately, he had only eaten it a few times.
"Your Majesty sent people to fish in the river early in the morning. He said that starting from the first day of April the day after tomorrow, there would be large pieces of meat every day.
I'll give you a salted duck egg that is oozing with oil. The salted duck egg is provided by Li's manor. It's not very salty."
The cart pusher mentioned separately that it was not all given by His Majesty, but also by Li Dongzhu.
When Little Geda served the food himself, he pushed the cart to the next place and shouted to sell it by the way.
If a passerby wanted to eat, he would pay to buy it, and he would serve it for him. A deposit of two coins was required.
The passerby was required to send the plate to any shoe-shining child, and the child would give two coins.
"I believe that it won't be many years before the whole Tang Dynasty will be like this." The Tubo envoy Bo E looked at it and said to Isimba.
They have been quiet recently, and they are seizing the time to get medical books. As for medical skills, no one taught them.
They also collected carrot seeds and sent them back to Tubo for planting.
Including daily newspapers, they were all sent back together. This was the only thing they could do.
"The Tang Dynasty is changing almost every day. If Li Yi doesn't die, in a few years, with the development of Jingzhao Prefecture, it will be difficult for Tubo to survive."
Isinba felt uncomfortable. He watched Jingzhao Prefecture's various measures being implemented.
The people were busy with smiles on their faces, and the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture were diligent and honest.
The root cause was one person, who pushed the Tang Dynasty forward.
"The Japanese are coming. Think of a way to let the Japanese deal with Li Yi." Bo E knew that he was no longer capable.
He tried to prevent Li Yi from being fooled by the plan and shrank in his shell like a turtle all day long.
Can he kill someone with a borrowed knife? Make a difference.
"What good ideas?" Isimba was concerned about this.
"Tell the Japanese that Li Yi wants the Tang Dynasty to fight Japan, and Li Yi is making powerful weapons." Bo E said his method.
You don't have to say it out loud, just hint.
Other envoys can't enter Li's manor, what about Japan?
Japan wants to go in and have some exchanges. Will Li Yi meet them for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?
Can the Japanese envoys search Li Yi? Send a few people to hide in...
Bo E is determined to die. He knows that if the Tang Dynasty continues to develop, Tubo will have no way to survive.
Even Hukou Waterfall can't stop Li Yi's will. The boats are on track and carry things upstream along the Yellow River.
The other side of the Yellow River is Tubo. If there is a big war, the Tang Dynasty will transport soldiers and supplies from the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and land.
Isinba thought for a moment: "It's better to ask the Japanese to call Li Yi out, such as holding a bonfire party and watching Japanese songs and dances."
"Okay, let's try it." Bo E looked to the east.
There is Li's manor there. He wished he could grow wings and fly over to die with Li Yi.
According to the historical records of the "Central Plains", it takes many years for a country to hide its strength and bide its time.
Then they defeated other countries in one fell swoop, as happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
If the Tang Dynasty had Li Yi, why would it take so many years? Li Yi threw out things that benefited the people like crazy.
You can't see it elsewhere. Anyway, the people of Jingzhao Prefecture can double their money in a few months, and the people are rich.
Who would have thought of raising maggots to feed chickens, and feeding poultry with bone powder to lay more eggs?
And the bean worms that everyone is afraid of are obviously pests that harm soybeans and grapes.
As a result, Li Yi told everyone that this thing can be eaten, and also taught how to raise it.
The people listened to him. If he said it can be eaten, the people would eat it.
They exchanged some losses of soybeans for a large number of insects, saying that they were better to eat than meat.
Isimba gritted his teeth and said: "As long as he comes out, we will try our best to pull him up and make him unable to fly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people not far away suddenly pointed to the sky: "Look, a large group of hot air balloons, flying so high."
Reminded by the shouts of passers-by, more people looked up.
Hot air balloons floated in the sky, and everyone was curious.
It has been a long time since we saw a large number of hot air balloons appear together. What is going on this time?
"What fell out? Is it parachuting? Yu Lin Feiqi parachuting?"
"No, it's not an umbrella. That thing is flying, and there are people below."
"It looks like a kite. It turns out that a kite can carry people to fly."
The people watching suddenly talked about it, watching the delta gliders jump from the hot air balloons and then glide.
"With wings?" Bo'e looked at Isimba. Just as you said, it's hard to fly with wings. Look, someone is flying with a kite.
"Can a kite carry people?" Isimba didn't think a kite could do that.
But in fact, there was someone under the kite in the sky.
A gust of wind blew, and some kites increased their altitude, some turned in other directions, and some continued to move forward slowly.
Over Chang'an City, many kites were flying around at once.
The people were dumbfounded. Some wanted to find the kite string. Was there someone on the ground pulling the string?
