Chapter 82: The People of My Place Have a Better Life (Fifth Update)

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

"The basic need is food, and the foundation of food lies in the land."

"In a vast and sparsely populated place, there is a lot of land, but you have to plant a lot of hemp, jujubes, mulberries, and a hundred acres of land, and people are busy at all."

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

"There are a lot of hermits, and some of them have become Buddhists, so they don't have to pay taxes, so they started to restrict and investigate."

"There are also those who have no food at home for a while, so they borrow food, and they can't pay it back, so they have to sell their land."

"At this time, there is still a mediocre tone, so I have to run away."

"The rest of the small number of people are up and down, and the polarization is serious, and the richer the people are the more advantageous."

"The reform of tax policy lies in the rule of officials, and the rule of officials involves the superstructure."

"There are still soldiers, and any other reform is from the top down, except for rebellion."

"The superstructure should be reformed, which belongs to the distribution of benefits."

"Li Longji keeps changing prime ministers precisely because he doesn't want a certain prime minister to gain too many rights."

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

A hundred years of imperial court, a thousand years of Confucianism, and a deep-rooted family concept.

Li Longji needs to rely on people to exercise his rights, and the people he relies on are a group of people who play the same game rules.

And this organization is obviously congenitally defective in promoting people's livelihood.

Li Yi thought of the changes in history, under the influence of Confucianism, until the Qing Dynasty's Hundred Days Restoration.

In the end, everything was solved by artillery fire.

The same is true of the changes in other countries, where a lot of blood has been shed, and the competition for interests is so red.

"How much blood is Datang going to bleed? Where to start? Where do we end up? Li Yi muttered, unable to find an answer.

"Let's improve the lives of the people first, starting from the area around Zhuangzi. Forty-two students, I had to personally teach some additional knowledge, the basis of reform. ”

Li Yi, who had made a decision, was in a happy mood, and he planned to teach more knowledge among the forty-two students.

Then go to the door to seek officials, put them in the localities, and lead the people to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Go back, take a shower, sleep.

When he got up in the morning, Li Yi was full of sunshine.

The people who saw him in Zhuangzi were in a better mood.

When it was almost noon, fifty people who had come to perform in Pingkangfang came back and thanked Li Yi one after another.

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

Li Yi pretended not to understand, couldn't talk, and talked about it, and it was easy to talk about 'human life'.

At noon, Li Yi came to the students' area.

Others are reluctant to come, feeling that they are too humble, but they are students.

Li Yi had the same in his eyes, and if he had to say which one was better, he would choose a craftsman.

Which one is most respected, naturally a veteran.

As for the students who study the Four Books and the Five Classics...... Hehe!

Some of the students' families are also there, and they seem to be very happy, living in a building, such a big house.

Now take care of your body, adapt to the environment, and in a few days you will be assigned things to do.

"Brothers, I have something to do here. In the afternoon, except for the person who taught the doll, the rest followed me to the classroom. ”

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

The students thanked one after another, and the imperial examination had a special mathematics subject, called Ming Arithmetic.

It's just that those who have ambitions don't want to take the test, so they hope to rely on Jinshi, and it's okay to take a step back and take the Ming Sutra.

These two can be admitted to be big officials.

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

The first lesson is called algebraic formulas.

An 'X' is written, and the pronunciation is also pronounced like that, Li Yi really doesn't know what to use instead.

And after the substitution, he was confused when he wrote the formula.

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

When the students listened, it was easy to know that Sibei, Li Dongzhu actually came up with such a simple question.

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

But that's okay, it's simple, right? Then you will know that there will be times when you will cry.

In the middle of the hour-long class, the students began to get serious.

2X-5=X-1 appears on the paper on the wall and asks what X is.

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

When the class is finished, the students get together to study.

Li Yi went to craftsmen to make blackboards and chalk, and with Zhuangzi's current scientific and technological background, neither was a problem.

Includes chalkboard erasers made of felt and wooden boards.

"This blackboard is not good, eat chalk ash, first take it for two days, make it better, and then wipe it with a wet rag, and ask them what kind of ink is not afraid of water after it dries."

Li Yi decided to ask the students to also write board books in the future, and it was no problem to write block letters in chalk.

The days passed, late September.

The soldiers and the band of beauties left, and Colliers personally came to take them away, saying that His Majesty wanted to see them.

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

The beauties already knew that this thing was not worth much in Zhuangzi, so they usually ate it.

Still happy though, the price is high outside.

"Now I announce, the crab harvest begins." Li Yi sent the people away and shouted happily at the people on the Zhuangzi.

The crabs are in season, and the forest frogs are not good yet, so we have to continue to wait, and then make a good pool for the forest frogs to hibernate, and there will be more forest frogs next year.

This time, the people of Zhuangzi put on oilcloth pants and oilcloth gloves, and carried baskets into the water to catch crabs.

The people of Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang rushed over to see, and the crabs that were caught and put in the basket were all money in their eyes.

"We'll plant it next year." The people of Zhangjia Village are not jealous, but they also want to make money.

"Tell proprietor Li to keep some crabs for the winter, and we will plant small crabs next year."

"I've been catching toads this year, and then selling them for money, making a lot of money, and the life of the village is better, and next year I'll raise toads."

"If it weren't for proprietor Li saying that we want to control the quantity, we would have earned more."

"Stupid, proprietor Li said, if you have more, you can't sell it at a high price, and someone also caught a toad and stewed it in the sauce, although the taste is not as good as our village, but the price is low."

The people of Zhangjia Village watched and discussed.

One by one, the people of Huangzhuang also put on new clothes, and they sold steam-pot chicken.

Although the bulk of the money has to be handed over to the above, the remaining one can be worth the usual year's income.

Li Yi saw the people in a village and a village, full of a sense of achievement.

Next year, the toads will not be able to sell at a high price, but next year there will be more toads, feed them, and still make a lot of money.

"As for the people who work for Huangzhuang, they can't sell all of them for money next year, find a way to let them eat well and use them well, and if they don't sell, they won't be counted as income."

Li Yi muttered to himself, he wants to avoid the problem of income accounting, is it okay to feed himself by himself?

Or get the Zhuangzi here for daily necessities, isn't this also a kind of wealth.

If there is a lot of meat, it will be made into bacon in winter, and it will not be hard to live a hard life.
