Wang Xing happily sent Li Yi back to Zhuangzi, looking forward to a quick cotton harvest.

He has nothing to be embarrassed about. In his mind, Li Yi is a miracle doctor. A miracle doctor treats patients, and all his behaviors are within the normal scope.

Li Yi returned to Zhuangzi and continued to lead three thousand soldiers to work.

First fill in the big gap between Zhuangzi and Huangzhuang, so that it will be more convenient for the two sides to contact each other in the future.

Then there is the digging of ice cellars, vegetable cellars, leveling of the ground, and mounds of soil.

This is civil engineering, and tools are provided. Soldiers must be able to use them and be proficient in them.

"You may not know this, but I tell you, there is an army that can sacrifice ten times in exchange for victory."

"Their civil engineering is the best in the world. They dug tunnels, built fortresses, built earth slopes, and fought classic battles one after another."

"So I'm going to show you how to do civil engineering. We can build a trench camp in half an hour, but we can't use an extra quarter of an hour."

Li Yi held a multifunctional military shovel in his hand and said to the three thousand soldiers.

The soldier didn't care at first, but when he heard Li Yi say, "I'll take you to play," his attitude immediately changed.

They have already had a psychological shadow over the word "play" coming from Li Yi's mouth.

Others say playing is just fun, but Li Yi says playing...is fatal.

It's just work, no problem, as long as it's not the same kind of training as before, nothing else matters.

Li Yi personally taught how to use various instruments, how to use them fastest, and what their purpose was.

He also took the lead in digging, and he didn't feel tired working for his own village.

There was less ice this year and it was all used to soften the meat. The children only had ice drinks a few times. We will need more next year.

It's not that he doesn't know how to use saltpeter to make ice, but he doesn't have the time.

The heat absorption of saltpeter ice making ranges from 1:1 to 1:1.5, depending on the temperature of the water.

The saltpeter is then placed in the sun to dry and can be reused.

But who will do the work? The entire village is busy building houses, building biogas digesters, wine cellars, and raising ducks, chickens, pigs, cattle, and sheep.

There are also artificially fed maggots, which are raised in Zhangjia Village.

Wood frogs and crabs need someone to look after them.

Fertilize the ground and weed.

Cross the grapes, topdress the grapes, and tie ropes to strengthen the vines.

In addition to leading the team for training last month, Li Yi was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet.

Now there is no need for such devilish training. Hurry up and bring the soldiers to work for Zhuangzi.

The three thousand soldiers now listen to whatever Li Yi says, and they are most afraid of Li Yi saying that they are just kidding.

That's not funny at all.

How much I despised it at the beginning, how much I value it now.

"Here, here is your salary. You write down where your home is, and I will find someone to deliver it to your home."

Li Yi shouted with a loudspeaker before dinner that day.

When the soldiers worked, he paid them wages. Some were more than one coin, and some were as little as more than 700 coins.

Without waiting for others to say anything, Li Yi directly explained the situation.

"You are soldiers, the strongest soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. I am honored to be able to work with you."

"If I were a common people affected by the disaster, you should do the work. Who made you His Majesty's private army? If you don't do things for the people, who will?"

"But I am the owner of Zhuangzi. I have money. I don't have to work for you. I pay wages just like others."

"I'm looking for you to work. You did a good job and I took advantage. For the same salary, you did more work."

When Li Yi explained why he gave the money, he was still as calm as when they first met.

The soldiers cried a lot. Soldiers never dare to think about this.

Isn't it right for the superior to ask for work?

Boss Li not only gave money, but also gave a lot.

Li Yi calmly held the loudspeaker: "I am very sad to see people crying. It means that I, Datang, have not allowed your family to live a good life."

"We are the strongest soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. We have never flinched when faced with life and death decisions."

"Remember my words, no matter what grievances you encounter in the future, don't cry, come to me, come to His Majesty, you are His Majesty's private army."

"I will play with you on behalf of Your Majesty. Don't, don't be afraid. Why are you trembling? Well, His Majesty asked me to train you. Don't say the word "play"."

"So we only obey His Majesty's orders. If I ask you to work, His Majesty does not allow it. I must pay you."

"Your Majesty is the greatest. If Your Majesty doesn't speak, I won't accompany you...it's training. That boy, stand up for me. Can you do it if your legs are weak?"

"Now, you can write a few words. You can also replace typos. Write your address and what you want to say to your family."

"In addition to sending back the money you earned, I will also give your family some extra pickles."

"Don't think about the soy sauce, don't think about the green side and the red side either."

"It's not that I don't have it, I'm afraid that if I send it back to your family, your family will be in trouble."

Li Yi still told the truth.

As a result, the soldier cried even harder.

"Stop crying, why don't we play a new game and everyone will stop crying when they are happy." Li Yi suggested.

In an instant, the person crying quickly wiped away his tears.

It's too scary. You still want to play? Come on, Mr. Li, why don't we stop crying?

"I'm serious, what are you going to do? I used one hour of my life to buy you twenty footballs. This stuff is cheap. I'll teach you the rules and we'll play a game. It's very interesting."

Li Yi said with a smile.

He changed twenty footballs. Playing football can cultivate team chemistry and cooperation, and at the same time consume excess energy.

"Actually, it's Cuju. My Cuju is better than what you used to know. There are twenty-two people per game, and the others come on. Come on, do you know what that means? The axle is too dry, so oil will drip into it. Just come on."

Li Yi wants to bring a lot of people from surrounding villages to make money, and there is no need to say whether he can make money playing football.

When the soldiers heard that it was Cuju, they were relieved, but there was no expression of joy on their faces. They were wary.

You must be on guard against it.

Li Yi chose a venue by the river, made a goal out of wood, explained the rules, and even went on stage to demonstrate his amateur football skills.

The soldiers selected twenty-two players who were good at playing Cuju and started playing according to the rules.

Li Yi smiled and found that he could exchange twenty footballs in one hour.

The inner bladder of the football is made of butyl rubber and the outer bladder is polyurethane.

If the football is damaged, such as a bulge, it will get a rubber liner.

If you directly exchange it for rubber skin as big as a football liner, it will take two hours of life.

Forty times the difference, there is a loophole in the system.

Eunuch Qingsong stood aside and watched, holding a football in his hand. He pressed the ball with his hand and said, "Proprietor, it's not worth it for you to exchange your life for a football. If you have a ball for Cuju, just buy it."

"Thank you." Li Yi thanked him. Qingsong showed concern.

"However, the Cuju you bought cannot form a monopoly. If I want to organize a competition, I must use my football. My football is better than Cuju."

Li Yi explained the reason.

He wants to set standards and increase confrontation and competition, rather than fancy personal ball-handling performances.

He believes that people who are good at Cuju, once they adapt to the new rules, will be able to perform gorgeous dribbles and coordinated goals.

He has countless offensive and defensive formations in his mind. He can't play football, but he says the ball is fine.

There are twenty-two counties in Jingzhao Prefecture, and each county has a football team, which will first play the league in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Isn’t this also promoting social development and increasing life expectancy?
