Chapter 563: The Powerful Tang Dynasty Doesn't Bow His Head (Third Update)
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." 'Boom Boom ......'
It's December almost in the blink of an eye, and it's the first day of the new year.
Li Longji's family is not here, and this morning they will hold a court meeting in Hanyuan Palace, and officials of the fifth rank and above will go to court.
The captives got used to it for a while, and as soon as they heard the words of the meal, there was the sound of the pot knocking, and they lined up as fast as they could.
Each of them has half a bamboo tube and a pair of chopsticks of their own, waiting for others to cook.
The chief is in charge of managing his own shi, and when he arrives at his team, they will eat first.
The rice is steamed from the old wheat, and there is some bran in it, Li Yi said that eating bran is coarse grain, which is good for the body.
The dish is pickles, give a chopstick head, and at the same time put it in a bamboo tube.
Even a spoonful of stewed vegetables, sauerkraut, can see the oil flowers, chicken fat oil flowers.
Give the same extra spoonful of rice.
The captain of a hundred people is much better, they have plates, the main food is the same, but eat as you like.
In addition to the sauerkraut stew, there is also a meat stew.
For the past two days, I have been stewed gray cabbage on a chicken skeleton, and gray cabbage is a wild vegetable that is collected and dried on the roadside and riverside in the summer.
Generally, chickens, ducks, and geese can be eaten, and people occasionally eat them.
The chicken skeleton is indeed a chicken skeleton, and the meat on it is almost all shaved, and there are some internal organs attached to it.
Even so, the captains have to be careful when eating, for fear that if they eat too much, they will be gone.
As they ate, they looked at the captains of the other teams with hostility in their eyes, oh, a sense of competition.
The people of the Li family Zhuangzi told them that they would compete in the future, work competitions, learn Tang dialect competitions, and management personnel should not compete chaotically.
As soon as the wake-up horn blows, which team has the fastest speed, extra points, and the slowest deducted points.
After a month, that is, on January 1, the evaluation begins.
From December to January, there is a month to improve, and when it enters January, once in October.
The captain of the team with the fewest points is replaced as the captain, and the captain of the team chooses the best captain.
The captain competes with the captain, and the captain competes with the chief, and if it doesn't work, he goes down, and at the same time sits together.
In order to have one more bite of food and one more dish, the captain and the captain were extra strict with their men.
The last place is eliminated, there is no luck, and it is guaranteed to eliminate a captain in ten years, and eliminate a captain in the team.
And the inspector, he took a hundred people with him, and one more dish.
It is the shaved meat on the chicken skeleton, all small minced meat, and it is fried directly in chicken fat.
They see that everyone wants to be a bad guy, and whoever finds someone in the team is unruly and catches it, they can add another dish to each stew in the middle of the decade.
The people in charge of guarding their sixteen guards in turn seemed to be very relaxed, and they didn't have to worry about it at all.
There are people in every team who are not of the same race, and they used to be comrades-in-arms, but now they are spies.
In fact, in the southwest, there are also fights between tribes.
The fight against the Tang Dynasty was driven by the Tibetan Revolution and temporarily united.
Tubo didn't expect them to be able to beat the Tang Dynasty, as long as someone kept harassing the Tang Dynasty, it was enough.
"This year's Tubo people are powerful, if you don't want to fight Dashi, you have to find a way to fight Datang, and you can also unite Dashi, Turkic, Southwest Barbarian, and Khitan to fight Datang together."
When Li Yi and Li Chengqi had breakfast, they gave Tubo a positive evaluation.
"I don't know how they did it." Li Chengqi frowned.
"Go to the army to fight, and then fight the relationship, the Tang Dynasty was unstable in the past few years, so I asked others to have some ideas.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty was too arrogant, never took the initiative to unite with the Turks, and always waited for foreign countries to come to the court.
Tubo is fighting various tribes while putting down his body to unite.
Datang needs to be famous, and Tubo can fight whoever he wants. ”
Li Yi analyzed why there was the current situation.
"Let's put down our bodies and reach out to other tribes?" Li Chengqi asked about countermeasures.
"No, no, no, we can't let go of the majesty of a great power. Others are used to the strength of Datang, and once you are weak, they will bite harder. ”
Li Yi refused to take the initiative to make peace with others, if the wolf king was soft on the other wolves in the wolf pack, he would not be far from death.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either, alas!" Li Chengqi was uncomfortable.
"Hold a meeting and gather people from all tribes to send people to participate in the malaria drug distribution meeting led by Datang."
Li Yi thought of a good solution.
Previously, he was thinking about selling drugs for malaria directly, exchanging horses and other things with others.
Now there is a new idea, medicine is not just a matter of money, but also political concessions and compromises.
"They're coming?" Li Chengqi had expectation in his eyes.
He understood, Datang has a meeting, you all come over, and then discuss who to give how many big honey pills to treat malaria.
"Do they have malaria? Do you have to die after you get it? Li Yi asked rhetorically.
"Yes, they still have a lot of malaria, and sometimes they die of malaria, and some of them can survive, and then they get sick again, and I don't know why."
Li Chengqi felt that he had a high grasp, and in the face of life and death, if there was a way to solve it, it would naturally make people rush to it.
"Mosquito spreads, adding Artemisia to the flower water can be defended, and even I can research out the soap with Artemisia seeds.
And there is only one thing to treat this disease.
In addition, there are great side effects of cinchona, and then a place in the distant sea. This thing is ......"
"Don't tell me, I don't want to know, just keep it a secret."
When Li Chengqi heard that Li Yi was going to say something specific, he refused to listen.
"It's okay to listen to it, they won't do it, when I talked to Zhou Gang, in order to prevent him from figuring it out, I also mentioned heating."
Li Yi said with a smile, even Zhou Gang was guarding against him.
Li Chengqi laughed, this is his own Yi brother, confused when he should be confused, and shrewd when he should be shrewd.
Sometimes it seems that stupidity always suffers, and once you seriously promote something, others can't stop it if they want to.
"We Datang people also need to eat, honey is too rare, and some people use it to eat and make incense casually, and the incense thing will burn out as soon as it is ignited."
Li Yi mentioned the main ingredient for making big honey pills, honey.
Sugar is expensive enough, and the price of honey can be imagined.
"Beekeepers need to chase flowers, another way to keep bees...... It's okay, at the beginning of spring next year, let the people of the twenty counties of Jingzhao Mansion raise it. ”
Li Yi hated that he couldn't raise thousands of boxes of bees by himself, but he knew that he couldn't, and he didn't have enough flowers.
"Beekeepers really work hard, they have to put the beehives in the car, and they have to pick them up by themselves, where the flowers bloom and go.
When the weather is bad, a heavy rainstorm comes down, and many bees will die.
How do you keep bees in Tufa? Buy a box of bees from a beekeeper? ”
Li Chengqi knows a little about beekeepers, but he doesn't know much about local law, and no one has told him.
"The local method of beekeeping is to let the bees fly on their own, and in the winter, if you make a box of bamboo or wood, the sparrows will fly in as a nest.
The same goes for bees, build a home for them first, and when they find out, they will come to the hive when it splits its nests.
In the spring and summer seasons, there will be bees flying around the eaves, and some native bees will make nests in the cracks of the walls. ”
Li Yi said slowly, let Li Chengqi recall.
