"Brother Li Yixian, look what I brought you."

In the morning, when Li Yi was looking at a forest where the steward was trying to convince him to stay, Li Chengqi came.

"Steward, listen to me, sell it, dig it out and sell it to whoever wants it, and then grow grapes for me."

Li Yi told the steward to go and greet Li Chengqi.

Eighty acres of mulberry trees are left here, said to be for raising silkworms and weaving.

Li Yi resolutely refused to agree and handed over the wheat he could grow to the imperial court.

Buy the rest with money and never leave any mulberry trees.

He wants to plant grapes, a large area of ​​grapes.

When Li Chengqi approached, Li Yi saw that this man with some skills had sent a cow.

A cow that has been killed and bled.

"Brother Xian, I'll give you the cow. I'll eat it with you at noon." Li Chengqi was very happy to see Li Yi's surprised expression.

"I immediately asked them to squeeze soybean oil." Li Yiwei refused.

Take Li Chengqi to the oil press, and the male servant will come over to operate it.

Li Chengqi and the eunuchs around him watched.

Li Yi asked someone to serve tea and ran to the kitchen to handle a whole cow.

During the lunch break, the forty-two students all had beef bone, tofu and wild vegetable soup.

The staple food became millet. This is a normal meal. Eating noodles every day is too luxurious.

Li Chengqi and the eunuchs also ate this, including Li Yi.

He had been handling cattle all morning. He was not a professional beef seller, so he had to take his time and had no time to cook other dishes.

Fortunately, he had braised the shank, so he could take away two large pieces of sauced beef for Li Chengqi in the evening.

The process of oil extraction over there has not been completed yet, the blanks are being made, and the wooden wedges can only be hammered in the afternoon.

He also exchanged five hours of his life for a pound of chili noodles, excluding chili seeds.

If you want to replace pepper seeds, you need 50,000 hours of life to do so.

Let's not talk about whether he has that much lifespan, just talk about the lifespan of nearly eleven and a half years, and he is reluctant to part with it.

Li Yi made some spicy beef sauce and chili oil.

In the evening, I asked this guy who had a way to get a whole cow to take away half of the beef tendon. It was spicy.

He planned to freeze the other items on ice for two days and grill them the day after tomorrow.

Because I have money, the soy sauce I took away yesterday, today my eldest brother with the same surname said I would bring him 55,000 Wen this afternoon.

He had to buy a thousand catties first, and at the same time he found that his life span had been increased by 320 hours.

Li Yi didn't know why selling soy sauce would increase life expectancy.

But now that he has money, he plans to hold a poetry meeting for forty-two students.

Invite other friends to come to Zhuangzi to eat and drink together, and then help promote soy sauce.

For a hundred large tanks, one tank can produce 200 kilograms of oil at a time.

"My dear brother, do you know that there will be more cattle and sheep soon?" Li Chengqi said to Li Yi while eating some delicious pickles.

"Where did the cattle and sheep come from?" A map appeared in Li Yi's mind. Upward from Gyeonggi Road was the Turks, where there were grasslands.

"Turks." Li Chengqi pretended that he knew a lot about the international situation.

Li Yi smiled and shook his head: "Impossible. That man in Mo Chu is too ambitious. He took advantage of the unstable transition of the Tang Dynasty to attack him frequently. How could he stop fighting?"

"Especially now, His Majesty is worried every day. The country and other places are in panic, and he is coordinating with the generals."

"The local political affairs are in chaos, and the Turks, Western Turks, Tubo, etc. are watching with eager eyes. Tubo is even worse."

"I, Tang Zheng, resisted the Tubo and fought against the Turks. If I were silent, I would also fight."

"Otherwise, when the Tang Dynasty stabilizes the border between Tang and Tujia, will the Turks still be able to come forward?"

Li Yi briefly talked about the situation.

Snap, the chopsticks of the eunuch next to him fell on the table.

Li Chengqi's eyes widened, wondering whether he was talking to the emperor's younger brother and the prime ministers.

Rejecting the Tubo and resisting the Turks is a matter for the imperial court.

Why do you, a young man who runs a village, know this? Who leaked the news?

"How come my dear brother is so clear? Is this a lie?" Li Chengqi asked.

"Clear? What is clear and unclear about what is stated?"

"My dear friend, please take a look at the Tubo Workshop. Farming is not bad. There is constant friction on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty attacks more but wins less."

"The prince is young. The prince's mother, who was regent the year before last, also died. The prime minister, Wei Qili Xu Shangnian, took over as regent."

"At this time, Tubo was not stable internally, so it was natural that the top priority was to use military force externally. External military use could win the hearts of the people at home."

Li Chengqi: "..."

He no longer knew what to say, you are a young man who has finally inherited a village.

If you don't farm well, why are you thinking about Tibet, which is so far away in the northwest?

Do you have anything to do with Tubo? Do you buy the cattle on your farm from Tubo?

"Why is my dear brother so naive...and eager to learn?" Li Chengqi wanted to know Li Yi's purpose in knowing these things.

"If the country is in chaos, the family will be in trouble. If the country is defeated, the family will be lost. How can there be any intact eggs under the overturned nest?" Li Yi said confidently.

Li Chengqi could only nod his head and was speechless for a moment. The young man was right.

Li Yi continued: "Besides, if I become an official when I am older and enter the court, your Majesty will ask for advice. How can I respond without a good solution?"

Li Chengqi's eyes lit up: "My dear brother, do you want to become an official in the court?"

"Yes! If you are poor, you will be good for yourself. If you are rich, you will be good for the world. Being an official is not to be an official, but to educate people in the world." Li Yi replied.

What Li Yi said was from his heart. Only by being an official can we better promote social development.

As society develops, people can live longer.

According to time calculation, if he didn't do something, he could live for 108 days.

Li Chengqi, whose heart was touched, went to see the soybean oil press after dinner.

The process of extracting soybean oil is not difficult at all. What is difficult is how to extract it better.

Li Yi urged the steward to find someone to buy the tree.

He doesn't want mulberry trees, so he can only make a few bucks by planting trees and raising silkworms on 80 acres of land.

Plant grapes, and wine is wine, much more expensive than turbid wine.

Raisins are also a fruit, and the price is not low either.

Use the money from selling wine and raisins to buy cloth and pay commission, which only takes a small part.

Li Yi has better planting methods and brewing techniques.

What is needed now is old vines that are looking for fruit. He doesn't want to keep them for a few years and then produce grapes.

Fortunately, people in the Tang Dynasty loved drinking wine at this time, and many people grew grapes.

Some people grow grapes that bear little fruit, and the grapes are not sweet either.

Li Yi has ways to deal with these situations, but he is anxious.

The grapes are about to bloom. How to transplant them after they bloom?

It is usually transplanted in autumn, after winter has passed, and spring is warm to promote root growth.

Transplanting old vines in spring will cause great harm to the vines.

It is doubtful that grapes could be produced that year.

Li Yi was anxious, and Song De, the manager, was even more anxious.

Because the money came, a hundred pieces of silk worth fifty-five thousand coins were sent.

For the price of five tanks of soy sauce, there are so many tanks, and each tank can still produce oil.

My boss is awesome and can make money.

If the proprietor says to sell the tree, then sell it.

Song De, the steward, rode the only horse in the village to look for people to sell trees and buy grape vines that were three to five years old.

After eating, the students who were tired ran out to help move the silk.

They didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance when facing the proprietor Li Yi.
