Chapter 82

Li Yi, who couldn’t sleep, strolled alone under the moonlight, and at the same time, he considered which way to let the people of Datang live a good life.

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

“Looking at a large area with sparsely populated land, there is a lot of hemp, jujube, and mulberry to grow in a place with a lot of land. People are really busy with 100 acres of land.”

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

“There are many hidden households, and some have turned into Buddhists, so they don’t need to pay taxes, so they began to restrict and check.”

“There are also those who don’t have any food in the house for a while, so they borrowed the food and couldn’t pay it back, so they had to sell the land.”

“At this time, there is still mediocrity and harmony, so I have to run away.”

“A small number of other people are up and down, and the polarization is serious. Taxes are taxed according to the head of the head. The richer the people, the more advantageous it is.”

“The reform of taxation policy lies in the governance of officials, and the governance of officials involves the superstructure.”

“We still need soldiers. Except for rebellion, all reforms are from top to bottom.”

“The superstructure needs to be reformed, which belongs to the distribution of benefits.”

“Li Longji kept changing prime ministers, precisely because he didn’t want a certain prime minister to get too many rights.”

Li Yi wanted to understand some of the reasons. Li Longji is currently unable to make checks and balances, and at the same time the centralization of power is not enough.

A century of imperial court, thousands of years of Confucianism, and deep-rooted family concepts.

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

And this organization obviously has Innate flaws in promoting people’s livelihood.

Li Yi thought of the reforms in history. Under the influence of Confucianism, it would not work until the Hundred Days Reform in the Qing Dynasty.

Finally, all problems were solved through artillery fire.

The reforms in other countries are the same. A lot of blood has been shed, and the struggle for interests is so fruitful.



“How much blood will Datang shed? Where do you start? Where do you end up?” Li Yi muttered, unable to find the answer.

“Let’s improve the people’s life first, starting from around Zhuangzi. Forty-two students, I have to personally teach some extra knowledge, the basis of reform.”

With the decision, Li Yi felt happy. Forty-two students he planned to teach more knowledge.

Then go to find officials and put them in places to lead the people out of poverty and become rich.

Go back, take a bath, and sleep.

Li Yi woke up early in the morning, full of sunshine.

Those who saw him in Zhuangzi were in a better mood.

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

They even hinted that Li Yi was lonely at night and could talk about it or something.

Li Yi pretended that he couldn’t understand and couldn’t talk, and as he talked, it was easy to talk about ‘life’.

For lunch, Li Yi came to the students’ area.

Others are unwilling to come over, feeling that they are too humble, they are students.

Li Yi saw the same thing. If he wanted to tell him which is better, he chose a craftsman.

Which one is most respected is naturally a veteran.

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

Some of the students’ families are also there, looking very happy, living in a big house.

I am raising my body now, adapting to the environment, and I will be scheduled to do things in a few days.

“My dear friends, I have something to do with school. In the afternoon, except for the people who teach the dolls, the rest follow me to the classroom.”

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

The students expressed their gratitude one after another. The imperial examination has a special mathematics subject called Mingshu.

It’s just that those who have ambitions are unwilling to take the test, they hope to rely on Jinshi and take a step back to test Mingjing.

These two are admitted and can be high officials.

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

The first class is called Algebra.

Write an ‘X’, and the pronunciation is the same. Li Yi really doesn’t know what to replace.

And after the replacement, he was confused when writing the formula.

“This is an unknown number, one plus one plus X equals six, then what is X?” Li Yi patiently instilled the symbol X.

When the students listened, it was easy to know that Dongzhu Li had such a simple question.

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

But it’s okay, isn’t it simple? You will know from now on, when you cry.

An hour-by-hour class, halfway through the class, the students began to be serious.

2X-5=X-1 appeared on the paper on the wall, asking how much X is.

Li Yi explained it step by step, slowly, and the students frowned, trying to adapt to the new way of expression.

When the class is over, the students will gather together to study.

Li Yi went to a craftsman to make blackboards and chalks. With Zhuangzi’s current technological background, neither of these things is a problem.

Including blackboard erasers made of felt and wood.

“This blackboard is not good. I eat chalk dust. I only need two days to make a better one. Then wipe it with a damp cloth and ask them what kind of ink is not afraid of water after it dries.”

Li Yi decided to ask the students to write on the blackboard in the future, and it is fine to write in chalk and block letters.

The days passed day by day, in late September.

The soldiers and the beautiful band left, Gao Lishi personally came and took them away, saying that his majesty wanted to see them.

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

The beauties already know that this thing is worthless in Zhuangzi, and they usually eat it.

Still very happy, the prices are high outside.

“Now I announce that collecting crabs will begin.” Li Yi sent people away and shouted happily to the people on Zhuangzi.

The crabs are in season, and the forest frogs are not good enough. You have to wait and make a hibernation pond for the forest frogs. There will be more forest frogs next year.

This time, Zhuangzi’s people put on tarp pants and tarp gloves, carrying a basket into the water to catch crabs.

People from Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang rushed to see them. The crabs that were caught and put in the basket were all money in their eyes.

“Next year we will also plant it.” People in Zhangjia Village are not jealous, but they also want to make money.

“Tell Li Dongzhu to save some crabs for the winter. We will grow small crabs next year.”

“I have been catching toads this year, and then selling them for money. I made a lot of money. Life in the village is better. I will raise toads next year.”

“If it were not for Li Dongzhu to control the quantity, we would have earned more.”

“Stupid, Li Dongzhu said that if it is too much, it can’t sell at a higher price. Some people also grabbed toads and braised them in miso. Although the taste is not as good as in our village, the price is low.”

People in Zhangjia Village watched and discussed.

Everyone in Huangzhuang also put on new clothes. They sell steamboat chicken.

Although the bulk of it has to be handed over to it, the remaining one cent can be worth the usual year’s income.

Li Yi saw the people in one village and one village, full of sense of accomplishment.

Next year the toads will not be able to sell at a higher price, but next year there can be more toads, fed with feed, and still earn a lot of money.

“As for the people who work for the imperial village, they will not be able to sell all the money next year. Try to find a way to make them eat well and use them well. If they don’t sell it, they won’t count as income.”

Li Yi muttered to himself, he wants to avoid the problem of income accounting, can’t he feed himself?

Or get the Zhuangzi here to exchange daily necessities. Isn’t this also a kind of wealth?

If there is a lot of meat, it will be made into smoked meat in winter, so you won’t have to live a bitter life again.
