Chapter 7 Just Be a County Magistrate

"One is for soaking seeds in lime water to disinfect them, and the other is for fertilizing from compound compost piles."

Li Yi stretched out two fingers and introduced them one by one.

"Poisonous?" Li Longji and Li Chengqi asked together.

"Insects smaller than fleas and ants are very, very small. They are on the rice. If you don't kill them, the rice will not grow well."

Li Yi chose a relatively simple way to explain.

Li Longji and the two understood instantly.

Li Yi added: "Other millets can also be treated according to this method."

"Write it down quickly." Li Longji ordered in a deep voice.

After saying this, he realized that this was Li Yi's secret method and it was wrong to grab him forcefully.

Li Chengqi quickly said: "Brother Yi, can you tell others about this method?"

"Okay." Li Yi was more anxious than the two of them.

He took two more people to the side. There was a special smell wafting, the smell of compost.

He said to the two of them: "Usually, the manure is trampled for fertilizer. The manure, the residue after oil extraction, and bone powder are put together and let the cattle trample them."

"That's not mine. I put things in layers. Tree leaves and grass sticks can also be put in."

"Lime is also added to it, which will quickly generate heat. It will not only kill the insect eggs, but also make the ground more vigorous."

After introducing the compost, he led the two people to change places.

There are piles of stones here, which are sometimes used by shippers to weigh down the boats.

Then throw it on the Bashui River. Someone will use stones to build a step by the river.

Some people build courtyard walls with blue and white stones, and some are black and blue.

Li Yi picked up a stone: "I call this stone phosphate rock. There are many around Chang'an."

"Grinding this stone into powder and spreading it into the ground will make rice, wheat and other crops grow faster, make them more resistant to cold and drought, and less likely to get sick."

The Li Longji brothers were shocked again.

Li Chengqi came to his senses and said, "You just used Lin for your wheat?"

"Farm manure was also used." Li Yi nodded.

Li Longji picked up the quick stone and rubbed it: "It's common. You can always see it in the twenty-two counties of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yeah!" Li Chengqi agreed: "It's common, but I never thought that this stone for grinding powder could be of such use."

"Brother, your Zhuangzi, take the medicine according to the prescription this year." Li Longji knew that his eldest brother had made a Zhuangzi to fool Li Yi.

If feasible, the entire Jingzhao Prefecture will be promoted next year, no, after the autumn harvest this year.

Turning his head, he looked at Li Yi again, which he liked.

The three of them went back to eat skewers. Li Longji looked at the stones he brought back from time to time.

"Brother Yi, what reward do you want?" Li Longji felt ashamed that he had received three prescriptions for nothing, so he wanted to compensate him.

"Reward? Third brother, are you talking about benefits? Remember to find someone to recommend me. I will almost be able to become an official next year."

"I've thought about it, let's get the county magistrate Dangdang first."

"You can just find any county around the capital. I don't mind it."

Li Yi looked like he wanted to serve the people.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Chengqi choked on his saliva after hearing Li Yi's words.

This brother Yi has a big heart. Next year, he will find someone to recommend, directly the county magistrate?

Moreover, he is also the county magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture. How about I give it to you as the magistrate of Chang'an County?

Or would I be wronged and replaced with Wannian County?

"I'll try my best." Li Longji was also frightened.

Then he said: "Brother Yi, what about these methods, third brother, should I ask my relatives and friends to spread them out?"

"No, you can't just find relatives, friends, and officials who know you, and let them teach the people under their rule." Li Yi was anxious.

He also pointed to increasing life span and enjoying life.

Li Longji looked at Li Yi again and nodded: "Yes!"

Li Chengqi said from the side: "To be honest, we are also relatives of the emperor who can get close to each other."

"No wonder, you can get cucumbers." Li Yi suddenly felt that his identity matched.

"Yes, yes." Li Chengqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, otherwise he wouldn't be happy getting along with her in the future.

Li Longji also thought this and said: "If you want to find us in the future, you can go..."

"Liu Lizhuang in the west of the city." Li Chengqi gave a place name.

Anyway, Zhuangzi already has someone to operate it, just give it a name.

Li Yi remembered this name, and when he got something delicious and fun, he would ask someone to share it.

At nearly noon, Li Longji and the two left.

More than 300 people are still eating and drinking there. It is estimated that they will not find the opportunity to eat beef on weekdays.

Fortunately, the cow was big enough and there were other skewers to support it, otherwise it would not be enough for them to eat.

The wine is not good either, costing more than ten cents a pound.

Li Yi stopped drinking after taking a sip. It was indeed cheap but not good.

If it wasn't too difficult to get a license, I would brew it myself and then distill it.

But no one cares about wine, it consumes no food.

As for whether a certain number of hemp or mulberry trees need to be planted in Yongye Field and Koufen Field, this is not a problem.

Because the current Zhuangzi is Yongyetian, the series of operations given by the system are like this.

There are also methods to increase grain production, as well as methods to raise crops together.

If the court pursues the matter, it can be settled.

Li Yi was thinking that if he provided free housing for 42 students, he would normally be rewarded.

He also set up private schools for the children of seventeen tenant farmers, and they also needed to be commended.

If any official keeps an eye on it, he or she will make matters worse.

Then continue to offer advanced farming technology, maybe Li Longji will know about it soon.

Li Yi thought about various ways to deal with what he would encounter in the future.

Li Longji and Li Chengqi, who were rushing back, joined the team and crossed the Ba River.

The two brothers were sitting in the carriage, with two jars of soy sauce, two jars of soybean oil, and two small jars of beef chili sauce placed in front of them.

"Brother, it would have been nice if I had known Brother Yi last year." Li Longji looked regretful.

Li Yicai came to take over Zhuangzi last year, and many things started to be done at that time.

Since there was a leap month in February this year, it was half a year late before we found out about Li Yi's situation.

"I knew it last year, but I couldn't see it." Li Chengqi was reasonable.

Li Longji closed his eyes and opened them after a moment: "Come here one night, live on Zhuangzi, and look at the swamp at night. Oh, the biogas lamp will make it more obvious."

"Third brother, I always feel that he still has more skills that he has not yet used. You see, he doesn't care about the recipe he gave us. Instead, he hopes that I will help him spread it."

Li Chengqi analyzed and judged from this aspect that Brother Yi only released a little something.

"Indeed." Li Longji also thought about it.

At least he didn't know the secret of how the digester could light the lamp, and he forgot to ask.

I originally wanted to come over and ask about soybean oil extraction and biogas lamps.

I went to the place where the seedlings were raised and saw other more magical things.

"Third brother, is that stone grinding powder and fertilization real or fake?"

Li Chengqi was troubled by what he should learn from his new Zhuangzi.

Li Longji clasped his hands together: "It must be true. Brother Yi doesn't know we are coming, so why should he lie?"

"Yes!" Li Chengqi agreed. He thought Li Yi was very interesting.

He actually wants to become a county magistrate through posting, one of the twenty-two counties in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Could it be that the counties in Jingzhao Prefecture are the same as those in other places? This is Gyeonggi Province.

A little further away, it also belongs to the Guannai Road, the important area of ​​the capital.

You are a sixteen-year-old boy, do you know how to be a county magistrate?

"Third brother, Brother Yi wants to be the county magistrate." Li Chengqi said with a smile.

Li Longji also laughed: "Hahaha! However, seeing how he manages Zhuangzi, the people's support can be used. In just half a year, the tenants have become so loyal."

"He made new clothes for the children of the tenant farmers, gave them to the four treasures of the study, and let the boarding students teach their subjects." Li Chengqi said.

"Why don't other Zhuangzi do this?" Li Longji asked the key point.

"Next to Zhuangzi, how many kilns can be fired? He still has a brick kiln, but he can also change it into a ceramic kiln. His kiln is not ordinary."

As Li Chengqi spoke, he suddenly thought of something important.

What kind of kiln is that? If you want to make bricks and tiles, make bricks and tiles. If you want to make a little change, make ceramics.

After being reminded by Li Longji, he also responded: "Exactly, the kiln is the foundation of the business. One kiln supports a village. Brother Yi can burn the kiln at will in Zhuangzi without hiring other helpers or skilled craftsmen."

"He can?" Li Chengqi was not sure.

Burning a kiln to make bricks and burning a stove to cook are two different things.

In one village, there were skilled craftsmen who helped build a kiln for burning, and the people in the village found work.

But Yi Di hurriedly built a kiln and burned bricks to build houses for students and tenants.

Then there was no movement. The kiln stopped firing?

Do you think it’s expensive to buy bricks and tiles, so you burn them yourself?

Shouldn't we continue to burn and sell bricks and tiles?

"Brother, I'm looking for someone to go to Yi Di Zhuangzi to buy soy sauce. He helped students entertain their classmates today and spent a lot of money."

Li Longji suddenly thought about money. Li Yi, the younger brother, seemed to have little money. UU reading www.uukanshu． net

If you don’t have money, you can’t do other things. If you don’t do other things, how can anything new come out?

"This is indeed the case." Li Chengqi responded.

Then the two of them went back to the imperial city directly and gave half of the gifts they got from Li Yi to their father.

The remaining half is naturally left by Li Longji. Anyway, Li Chengqi has been leisurely recently and can still go to Li Yi to get it.

***

The next morning, before Li Chengqi could find someone to go to Li Yi Zhuangzi to buy soy sauce, many hotels in Chang'an City had already sent people to Zhuangzi to buy soy sauce.

They can come because of the talents who participated in the poetry meeting yesterday.

They had seen the biogas lamps, and before the curfew, each of them hurried back to the city with a small jar of one pound of soy sauce.

Some people took them home, while others turned around and ran to Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is the red light district of the Tang Dynasty, where there are prostitutes and tricks.

When they arrived at Pingkangfang, they began to show off soy sauce and recited many poems about soy sauce.

The soy sauce they brought was naturally shared and tasted.

For a time, any store without a talented person bringing soy sauce would feel inferior.

Not only do they offer free offers, but they also include singers.

This is a big deal.

Dip preserved fruits in soy sauce, dip dried fish in soy sauce, dip garlic in soy sauce, pour soy sauce into a wine bowl...

Crazy, overnight, everyone in Pingkangfang went crazy.

When the sky dawned and the curfew was lifted at five o'clock, a group of people rushed out and went straight to Tonghua Gate.

When Li Yi Zhuangzi was eating chop suey sauce noodles in the morning, many people arrived outside Zhuangzi and asked to buy soy sauce.

Li Yi originally planned to sell it after everyone finished eating.

But Song De, the steward, disobeyed and said hello, and everyone dropped their chopsticks and went to get the soy sauce.
