Chapter 54 The Prime Minister is here now
Li Yi took a sip of soup and said slowly: "I have a pattern."
"The land in people's homes is used to grow winter wheat in winter. I paid for the right to use one acre of land for one winter."
"Then hire people to grow vegetables and pay extra wages."
"Or I can use their land, give them a share of it, and teach them how to plant it."
"In the future, they will know how to plant crops themselves, and I can also use the money to help them build greenhouses."
Li Yi's concept was ahead of his time and he described the cooperation model between enterprises and farmers.
"If they all grow the vegetables you mentioned, wouldn't the winter wheat be gone?" Li Chengqi quickly thought of the question.
"It's impossible. Greenhouse cultivation requires a lot of labor. In addition to material investment, there are also people to take care of." Li Yi talked about the labor cost issue of the industrial structure.
"What if they hire workers?" Li Chengqi followed up.
"The wages paid by hired workers will rise. If you plant more, vegetable prices will fall. Grain prices will rise. Comprehensive costs will increase, and profits will fall. In the end, it will balance out."
Li Yi introduces the market economy model.
Then he said: "The market economy cannot be without the participation of the planned economy. The eldest brother and the third brother have connections, so just ask the court to restrict it, such as the current planting of mulberry trees, jujube trees, and hemp."
Listen, everyone, I don’t understand what market economy or planned economy is.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand it.
"Brother Yi, how much money do people make by growing vegetables?" Li Longji was concerned about this matter.
"It's natural to make money, but what's more, without vegetables in winter, people will feel uncomfortable and prone to illness."
"Green vegetables can solve some of the problems. People's health will be better, they will work more, and they will live longer."
"As the population increases, population welfare will follow. Increasing population welfare depends on how production technology is transformed into productivity."
At this point, Li Yi stopped.
He smiled: "That's too far. Let's just say for now, I'll give it a try and take Zhangjia Village first."
Everyone in the whole hut was confused. What are you, Li Yi, talking about?
Zhang said, Wei Zhigu shivered almost at the same time, looking at Li Yi, it was so scary.
In layman's terms, although I don't understand what you're talking about, I think it's awesome.
How could Li Longji not know that his brother Yi seemed to have many ways to govern the country?
Yi Di was chatting while eating, and the things he said casually sounded so profound.
Yes, Brother Yi can predict future events, natural and man-made disasters, and says that Yao Xiang will be involved.
"Brother and I will help you." Li Longji solemnly said to Li Yi.
"Thank you, third brother, eldest brother, and oh, sister-in-law." Li Yi quickly added when he saw his sister-in-law looking over.
Zhang said that the two of them were almost jealous to death. His Majesty and the Queen were getting close to someone together. What a holy family this was.
But after thinking about it again, I can't feel jealous.
Li Yi is very powerful despite his young age.
The scariest thing is that if you ask him and he answers, no one will like it.
All troubles become easy in front of him.
Moreover, the food served at Zhuangzi is so delicious, eat it quickly.
Just after eating a few bites, another group of people came in. The two leaders looked very young.
"Does Dongzhu Li still remember me?" Yao Chong asked Li Yi.
"My husband, hurry up and invite me." Li Yi stood up with a smile.
"I'll bring a friend with me." Yao Chong pointed to an old man next to him.
Zhang Shuo and Wei Zhigu want to laugh, good friends? That's right, they listen to you, another prime minister Lu Huaishen.
The maids and eunuchs stopped eating and got up to wait for orders.
Today there is a meeting between the King of Song Dynasty, his Majesty, a queen, three prime ministers, and a former prime minister who is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
The four of us will be on duty at the Umrah meeting, okay.
Everyone got to know each other for a while, and then the next two went to wash their hands and prepare food.
The two chapters of the table are put together, and when you sit down, they look very harmonious.
Li Chengqi held back his laughter and looked around, wanting to ask, are you still leaving tonight? If not, there will be a court meeting in the palace tomorrow...
"You four eat, don't worry about us, remember not to eat too much, there is always something to eat." Li Yi said to the palace maid and eunuch.
"Yes, proprietor." The four of them were no longer afraid. Li Yi said, "Let's eat. Your Majesty doesn't care."
Li Yi looked around and saw that his eldest brother and third brother, and his sister-in-law didn't care, so he didn't care either.
They are all wealthy people, with servants to follow them, and they come up with any technology that can increase their life span, hoping that everyone will help promote it.
Wei Zhigu was in the worst mood. He was also the prime minister not long ago. You, Yao Chong, were not strict in your upbringing, but you blamed me? What could I do at that time?
Li Longji looked at it and thought of what Brother Yi said. He picked up a mushroom on his own plate and put it on Wei Zhigu's plate: "Eat a mushroom, old man."
Wei Zhigu burst into tears.
The other three prime ministers, Queen Wang, and Li Chengqi knew about it.
Your Majesty regretted it and still valued Wei Zhigu very much.
Yao Chong was nervous, but couldn't say anything.
"Yes, it's good to eat mushrooms. After some time, the fungus and mushrooms from our village and Huangzhuang will also grow. I made an agreement with the supervisor of Huangzhuang."
"I taught him how to make it, and Brother Wang gave me part of the fungus and mushrooms. If you want to do it, I will teach you. Everyone should eat some fungi, which is good for the body."
Li Yi said from a medical point of view that he also mentioned Huangzhuang because he was afraid that the four people had other ideas.
"Third brother, the current supervisor of Huangzhuang is Wang Xing. He is really good. I have met him several times." Li Chengqi said that he was worried that the three prime ministers had too many things to do.
The four people suddenly understood and praised each other.
They put on a show and had all kinds of overt and covert fights, but Li Yi was the only one on the outside who didn't know.
"Uncle, can mushrooms and fungus really be grown?" Queen Wang had heard about growing fungus before, but now that mushrooms can be grown, she is thinking about it again.
She wanted to plant some in the harem, so that the harem would have more income and everyone would live a better life.
"Now we can only grow one kind of mushroom, Hericium." Li Yi said as if he was incompetent.
Three prime ministers and a minister wanted to vomit blood.
Hericium erinaceus is sold in the East Market of Chang'an, but not in the West Market.
To buy Hericium erinaceus, you need to weigh it with a zhuzi. One qian is 600 fen, one tael is 600 fen, and one pound is 9,600 fen.
Can this thing be grown? Then don’t you, Li Yi, want to grow it...
Well, you Li Yi don't need to make a fortune from Hericium, you can just sell soy sauce.
Queen Wang stretched out her hand, but Li Yi stopped hiding and just tied his hair again.
"Uncle, after you plant it, Sanlang and I will plant it too." When Queen Wang heard that it was a monkey head, there was no need to think about it, just plant it.
She found a way to make a fortune by growing fungus and hericium heads. What Huangzhuang could grow, why couldn't she grow it herself?
The palace belongs to itself.
"I think I can still have another bowl of rice, so I won't eat it." Li Longji said.
He controlled his appetite and decided to listen to Yi Di, not to eat too much and only eat when he was hungry.
The others ate the food on their plates quickly, except Li Yi who had a few mouthfuls left.
"Chew carefully and slowly. When the food reaches the stomach, the stomach will wriggle, and then the gastric acid will corrode the food. The finer the food, the faster it will corrode."
"Because the area exposed to gastric acid is large, everyone generally drinks porridge to help the body recover quickly,"
"You are eating too fast, and the food is in large pieces. When it is left in the stomach, it wears the stomach and damages the gastric mucosa."
Li Yi patiently popularized medical knowledge to everyone.
Three prime ministers and one minister: "..."
