Chapter 1249: The Team Is Huge and Hopes to Assassinate
Just one day later, a large group of people set out.
Lan Bao and his family of three went with the group, and he had prepared double the betrothal money.
Li Dan, Concubine Dou Lu, Queen Wang, Concubine Wu, Concubine Liu, the little guy, Bao Er, Princess Yong Mu, and Li Chengqi.
The others were palace maids and eunuchs, guards on the farm, and Yu Lin flying cavalry.
All the carriages had wheels and were equipped with sled racks.
The entire team had 200 large carriages, more than 20,000 horses, and 5,000 Yu Lin flying cavalry.
It took nearly 500 miles to walk, and about 1,000 strings of cash were consumed every day for people to eat and feed horses.
"Master Li, you spent too much money to pick up my sister-in-law, didn't you?"
Li Yi didn't mind the cold, and sat with Guo Ziyi outside. There was a shed on the roof of Guo Ziyi's car, and a heavy machine gun was mounted.
Lan Bao rode a horse, looking guilty beside him.
"We are not going to pick up your sister-in-law. We are going out for a walk. It is annoying to stay in Chang'an all the time.
People and horses usually eat the same food, but horses eat more when they are on the road.
Don't worry, one thousand eight hundred strings of cash a day is enough. We can buy things from the people on the road, and the people can also benefit from it."
Li Yi is open-minded and goes out for a stroll to relax.
It is boring to stay in Lijiazhuang every day.
The team walked along the Weihe River, and then along the Yellow River. Before Li Yi arrived at Sanmenxia City at that time, they arrived at the destination, the location of Lingbao City.
There is Tongguan on the way, and when they arrived at the place, they went east to Hanguguan.
The flag raised by the team was Lijiazhuang, Bashui. The speed was not fast, but the scouts were running around.
Bi Gou and others wanted to come, but seeing that it was the end of the year, they were afraid of delaying the affairs of the court, so they had to stay in Chang'an.
If you want to say that the happiest person in the team is Princess Yongmu's mother, Concubine Liu, she came with her.
Queen Wang obviously couldn't sleep with the emperor, and Concubine Wu was busy taking care of Bao'er.
She was going to take this opportunity to get pregnant, and it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
She was a mother who was honored by her daughter, and her son-in-law was powerful.
"How long has it been since you came out?" Concubine Dou Lu sighed as she looked out the window at the scenery outside.
Li Dan looked at another window: "People here live a good life, and their clothes are thick."
The team had not yet reached Xinfeng County. In the territory of Jingzhao Prefecture, the living standards of the people were of course high.
They usually wore several layers of fine linen clothes, and then stuffed straw inside.
They all wore leather shoes with fur inside.
When they saw Lijia Zhuangzi going out, the people in front gave way and stood on the side of the road and bowed slightly to express their gratitude and respect.
The palace maids and eunuchs wore palace costumes to give people crispy tube candy, which was maltose with a lot of sesame seeds, one foot long.
They said it was given by His Majesty. As for why the Lijia Zhuangzi's convoy was sent by palace maids and eunuchs to His Majesty, I won't explain it, just think about it yourself.
The children got an extra piece of sorghum maltose, with a layer of glutinous rice paper on the outside.
Having candy makes adults and children happy.
They shouted "His Majesty is good", took the candy and ate it slowly, and adults usually tasted it to get the royal aura and the blessing of Li's manor.
Those who didn't have children with them would take it home to their children, and those who had children with them would take it from their children's hands and eat it at home.
"When we raise more pigs, we will wear pigskin clothes in winter. Otherwise, we will wear cotton clothes depending on how much cotton is grown."
Li Longji saw the smiles on the faces of the people and was in a good mood.
He began to think about the future. Linen clothes are not good for keeping out the wind. Wearing several layers is heavy, and it is still cold and can be blown through.
The only good thing is that there is a court shed on the roadside, with free hot soup.
The people dared to go out with a little dry food, walked a distance, and rested for a while.
Even at night, they could still sleep in the shed.
The court spent money to feed the people who looked after the shed, and provided the people with hope of survival.
If a civilian freezes to death and can live for a few more decades, the court will lose more than the money for a shed.
"Go and get two bowls of soup and bring them in." Li Chengqi shouted outside.
He saw a soup shed and wanted to see if the soup was good.
Ge Yan No. 2 jumped down from the side of the cart, found two bowls in the team and ran over there to get the soup.
He had more than half a bowl, and ran back with it to catch up with the cart and handed it in through the open window.
There were oil flowers floating on the soup, and there were two chopped cabbage leaves, and sporadic egg flowers.
Li Longji took a sip and nodded: "Okay, it looks like I've put in a lot of effort."
"Not fishy, it's boiled soup." Li Chengqi took a sip and gave his evaluation.
"How many eggs do you need? Look, there are some in every bowl." Concubine Dou Lu was afraid that too much was wasted and the court could not persist.
"Keep stirring quickly with a spoon. One egg makes a big pot of soup. Any bowl will be full of it. The oil is also floating oil. When the soup is ready, stir it with half a spoon."
Queen Wang knew and asked specifically.
You can also put eggs in cold water and then break them, but after cooking, the egg drop soup doesn't look very good.
"One cabbage can make five pots of soup, one egg in each pot, a small half spoon of cooked oil, no more, no need to stir-fry the pot with chopped green onions. The rest is salt."
Li Longji also said that the egg drop soup looks good, but there is actually nothing in it. The key is that it is boiled and hot.
The people need this hot water. Hot water with only salt is not as comfortable as soup.
"It's so economical." Concubine Dou Lu was relieved that she could hold on like this.
Li Yi was also drinking soup. It was indeed not as warm as sitting outside in the car.
"Old Guo, do you want someone to assassinate you?"
Li Yi blew on the soup and asked Guo Ziyi, who was aiming with a sniper rifle.
"I don't want to. If we are careless, everyone will be in danger. There is no regret medicine." Guo Ziyi put down the gun and held it in his arms.
"I hope someone will come and try it. It would be best if it is a big family. Then there will be an excuse to deal with other families together."
Li Yi doesn't care about the danger. He still has weapons.
Now he can't take action against the noble families immediately. He needs stability.
Many officials of the noble families are not clean. If you want to deal with them, find someone to investigate and implicate a large number of people.
Who they belong to, dig deeper, and then confiscate their property, and solve the problem of one family.
Or find an excuse to dismiss their officials. Large caravans are taxed. As long as they evade a little tax, they will be fined a large sum of money immediately.
In the future, no one from the noble family will be arranged in the court.
How to govern the country can be taught, and the children of ordinary people can be made officials.
Once ordinary children become popular, they can be replaced again.
Guo Ziyi took out a piece of beef jerky: "The families are actually not going to be a big deal, with you here."
"So they are hoping for my death. I am sitting outside, and there is no assassin." Li Yi expressed regret.
I have given you a chance, but you don't want to find a dead man to fight?
"They are not idiots. They are surrounded by Yulin flying cavalry. Where is the chance? Do you dare to let Yulin flying cavalry go back?"
Guo Ziyi tore off a piece of meat jerky and chewed it hard.
Real meat jerky is hard, and normally you need to hold it in your mouth first, wait for saliva to soften it before chewing.
"I will soak it in the soup." Li Yi also took out a piece of meat jerky and threw it into the soup.
"What will the Tang Dynasty look like in two or three years?" Guo Ziyi looked at the people on the roadside and looked forward to the future life.
