"The wax from the ash wood we use is artificially put on the tree to raise the ash worms. Ants are also good at raising, and they like to eat wax ...... ash worms."

Li Yi's voice wafted in the hot spring.

The other three were listening, and they had heard of ants so interesting for the first time.

So if you want something small, you can still breed it?

"Report, Li Dongzhu, it's back, they're back, Yu Huaide's caravan, smuggling, no, it's the trade caravan that's back."

Voices could be heard from afar to the hot springs, and you could hear how excited the messenger was.

"Uncle, don't play, this game is in the end, you win, you soak first, I'm going to see if there are casualties, and I'm going to get rich."

Li Yi grabbed a handful of Go pieces, put them on the chessboard, and threw them to admit defeat.

Before the three of them could finish listening to the story about the ants, Li Yi ran away.

"Who is Yu Huaide?" Doulu Guifei felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"I once offended Li Yi, and later cooperated with Li Yi to go to Tubo to exchange things privately.

After Saburo found out, he sent Yu Lin Fei to ride out to protect along the way, and by the way, he collected half of the money as protection money. ”

Li Dan understood the situation, and Li Yi took out a lot of 'valuable' things.

"The thing is left there and can't run, and the ant hasn't finished yet." Doulu Guifei was thinking about the interesting things about ants there.

Li Yi had already trampled the ants to death, and what he was most worried about was the casualties of the Yulin Flying Horse.

I put on some clothes and went outside, and when I saw Yulin Feiqi, I first asked, "How are the brothers?" ”

"None of them died, none of them were seriously injured, they said that they had encountered several groups of people, and the other party was not large-scale at all, and the combat effectiveness was too poor."

The messenger grinned, his comrades were alive, and he was happy.

Li Yi thought for a moment and shook his head: "Yu Lin Fei rode so many people and horses, the caravan was huge, and there were caravan guards, how could there be people in danger?" ”

"There will always be people who think they can do it, in case they are scared and scared, and the caravan gives them benefits, they can continue to scare and pick out little by little."

This flying rider gives a process that he thinks is similar.

The process is like this, and the result is different from what the other party thinks.

"When I change my clothes, the hot spring will stop soaking." Li Yi turned around to look for clothes.

Not long after, a team of cavalry escorted him to Zhuangzi, and Yu Huaide and his people could not enter the city.

The place that can be placed outside is only suitable for the Li family Zhuangzi.

There are hot meals, live in the house, and you can arrange other people to go to Zhangjia Village, which is a tourist attraction.

In the palace, Li Longji, who criticized the chapter, got the news in advance and knew the approximate amount of money.

Gold, Tibetan jewelry, horses, cattle, wool felt, and leather add up to about 1.5 million yuan.

The messenger said that the merchants were grateful to His Majesty for sending the Yulin Flying Horse to protect him, and were willing to share His Majesty's 800,000 yuan.

"800,000 yuan, before the end of this year, the accounts of things shipped to Chang'an from various places have come out, 9.2 million yuan, 1.4 million yuan more than last year."

Li Longji counted the money of the imperial court this year, and compared it again, 800,000 yuan, how many state capitals are rented?

"Lux, do you say that Tubo is very rich?"

Li Longji thought that he could get so much, wouldn't Tubo be similar to the Tang Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, the account can't be calculated like this, Datang collects rent, and the merchants' taxes are confiscated."

Colliers looks at it from another angle.

"Yes, Yu Huaide and they went to exchange things, and they exchanged them for rich people in Tibet, if everyone in my Tang Dynasty pays taxes, it will be okay to pay 30 million yuan a year."

Li Longji thought about money, and became more and more determined to collect business taxes.

"Brother Yi, someone went to inform you?" Li Longji immediately thought of good news to share.

"Go, proprietor Li should be accompanying the Emperor Taishang to take a hot spring." Colliers replied.

"It's really hard for Brother Yi to get married, alas!" Li Longji had a headache when he thought of this.

An ordinary woman marrying Li Yi can't help much, and Li Yi has to take care of the other party's family.

Unless everyone in the other party's family is dead, and a woman's family is all dead, if she doesn't die, is she killing her family?

"Your Majesty, proprietor Li is not in a hurry to get married, and many people have never married a wife at his age." Colliers advised.

"It's not that I can't get married, it's not that I don't want to marry. Brother Yi hasn't said a word yet, it's just that he plans to be crowned. ”

After Li Longji finished speaking, he was quiet and continued to correct the recital.

When Li Yi returned to Zhuangzi, Yu Huaide didn't see any of them.

"What about people?" Li Yi asked the banker.

"Plus Yulin Feiqi, take a bath in various baths, and the food is delivered, it is estimated that after taking a bath and eating, you will fall asleep."

The dealer pointed in several directions.

The baths of Zhuangzi were occupied, as were the baths of Zhangjia Village and migrant areas.

Li Yi suddenly said: "Yes, I will also go to sleep, their last part of the road is estimated to be fighting, and they want to go home early." ”

As he said, many people fell asleep in the bath, were carried out and housed, and did not eat at all.

If it weren't for the cattle and horses who needed to rest and eat, it is estimated that these people would come back from sleep in the last two days.

Li Yi went to the courtyard to rest, and the villagers lit kerosene lamps and lanterns to illuminate a large area of Zhuangzi and the migrant workers.

Cattle and horses are hungry and thin, it is easy to do when they are in Shudi, the weather in Shu is warm, and there is grass in winter.

Leaving Shu to the east, the grass is getting less and less, and you can only eat hay and some millet.

Now that they're back, they're labor, not food, and the farmers are taking care of them.

The alfalfa grass planted in the greenhouse, mixed with fried soybean flour and green storage, is put into the trough.

The horse's trough was also beaten with goose eggs and duck eggs.

The cows and horses were crazy with joy, and as they ate, they watched the people who fed them, as if they wanted to remember what each other looked like.

The people who know how to take horses are divided into groups and watch the horses with flashlights.

The horses of this group have uneven lengths, some can be used as military horses, and some can only do hard work.

The horse himself can't say which kind of thing he can do, he needs to find someone from Soma.

In order not to make mistakes, the Soma people are divided into groups, one group looks at a batch of horses, and the other group looks at it again.

Good horses are selected and can be eaten with fresh eggs and pepper and sugar as snacks in the future.

Horses that are not selected can only continue to eat ordinary food.

Some of the migrant workers were called out to make cowsheds and stables.

The farmers knew that the proprietor did not like jewelry, so they would inevitably settle the livestock into the village.

In the future, these cows and horses belonged to Zhuangzi, and the house where they lived was built first, and when the day came, they could be bathed.

Cattle and horses that eat good food are very docile, but whether they are docile when they ride on them is another matter.

When it was dawn, when Li Yi got up for breakfast, he saw many familiar faces.

"Have you slept enough? After eating, sleep for a while. "It's Yulin Feiqi who goes to the cafeteria to eat.

Yu Huaide's people, including the guards they hired, were still asleep and had not recovered at all.

At noon, Yu Huaide and his entourage got up one after another and went to the toilet first.

Then my head was a little confused, and I guess I slept too much.

Li Yi invited them to eat stir-fried vegetables, not hot pot, there were many greenhouses of green vegetables, and there were also prepared drunken crabs.

"Proprietor Li, we will go again next year, and we will tell everyone over there, if you have any other good things, we will continue to sell them."

Yu Huaide took a bite of garlic cucumber, tears were about to fall, and the life of the merchant was bitter.

"Yes, there are better things, they will definitely like it, and they must buy it." Li Yi smiled and nodded.
