Chapter 170 Diplomacy Is Too Important to Ignore

"Okay, I won't eat. I'll have lunch later."

Queen Wang, who had eaten seven toothpicks, controlled her appetite.

"What do you want to eat, sister-in-law?" Li Yi asked.

"The cold salad made from watermelon rind is delicious. Can it be made into soup?" Queen Wang thought of something.

"Make soup." Li Yi said to Cuiliu.

Cuiliu got up and went to make arrangements.

"Can I eat drunken crabs?" Queen Wang asked again.

"No." Li Yi refused decisively. Are you kidding? If you have a problem with your food, I have to rescue you.

"When will Di Yi's drunken crabs be sold?" Li Longji remembered that there were still many crabs left in Zhuangzi to make drunken crabs.

At present, crabs are not allowed to be eaten in the palace, even those pickled with honey, because the queen cannot eat them and sees the slander.

"Wait until the crabs they preserve using other methods are eaten enough, then sell them." Li Yi was not in a hurry.

He doesn't like drunken crabs very much. He likes to eat big steamed crabs, preferably sea crabs, which have more meat.

Sea crabs eat meat, river crabs eat flavor. Each one is different.

"Sanlang, please stay here tonight. I'll ask my uncle to take care of the child in the afternoon." Queen Wang put her hand on her belly.

"Stay." Li Longji agreed, since there was nothing going on this year anyway.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man ran in, handed him a piece of paper, and said, "There is news from the court."

Li Longji narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and the person ran away again.

Li Longji unfolded the paper, looked at it, and then looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi: "..."

Do the affairs in the DPRK have anything to do with me? I didn’t enter the court again.

"Shatuo Jinshan is coming." Li Longji said to Li Yi.

"Who is it?" Li Yi asked naturally.

"The golden mountain of the Shatuo tribe." Li Longji explained.

Li Yi was stunned. After more than ten breaths, he said: "Zhu Xie Jinshan or Zhu Xie Fuguo? How old are you? The one in his seventies is Zhu Xie Jinshan, and the one in his twenties is Zhu Xie Fuguo."

"Both." Li Longji didn't know what to say, so he mentioned a name himself, and after a while, Brother Yi gave two names directly.

"They're all here, no, third brother, hurry up and bring Zhu Xie Jinshan to me. He's dying. If he comes to me, I can give him a few more years to live."

Li Yi just looked at the information and estimated that Zhu Xie Jinshan died this winter.

According to the data, Zhu Xiefuguo was reinstated as the governor of Jinmanzhou, that is, he became the governor of Jinmanzhou again.

When he came here the year before last, he served as the governor of Jin Manzhou, but Zhu Xie Jinshan was still alive, and his son obviously had a dishonest reputation and bad words.

If he comes again this time, then he will redefine the position of Zhu Xie Fuguo, the son of Zhu Xie Jinshan, which means that Zhu Xie Jinshan is gone.

This is diplomacy. The threat of Tibet and Turks is there. The Shatuo tribe is very critical, so it is stuck in that position.

Save Wow, as long as it's not dead, you can find a way to make it live for two more years.

If nothing can be done now, Shatuo Jinshan will be ill and will die in a few days.

"Third brother, please ask your people to ask how Shatuo Jinshan is doing now." Li Yi was anxious.

Just as Li Longji was about to give instructions to the palace maids and eunuchs, he suddenly remembered something was wrong and had to get up and go out by himself.

When he came back, he said before sitting down: "If you get sick, Brother Yi should do your best."

"I will work hard to treat anyone who is sick. I am a doctor." Li Yi emphasized his identity.

"This is my brother, so I feel relieved." Li Longji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Queen Wang yawned and was taken to rest again.

Li Longji took the opportunity to drag Li Yi to go skating. He was wearing cotton socks and changing shoes.

He knew how to do it without Li Yi telling him. Gao Lishi and Yang Sixu had told him the key points, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand.

Sure enough, when you get on the ice, you stand still, then use a little force to slide forward.

Li Yi slid backwards in front of Li Longji, stretching out his hands to be ready.

"Third brother, don't worry. If you want to fall, throw yourself forward and I can hold you up. If you fall backward, don't stand up and struggle. You won't be able to adjust your balance. Just fall with the trend."

Li Yi explained how to fall on the ice. The harder he struggled, the harder he fell.

When a skater looks like he's about to fall over, he just uses the force to fall out and then slides far away.

Especially speed skating athletes will stop fussing when they find something is not right. If the speed is too fast, once they stand up, they will easily fall.

"Brother Wei has a full set of protective gear. When it falls, it will sink. Brother Wei understands."

Li Longji said to Li Yi while skating very seriously, even if he couldn't speed up.

After skating for half a circle, Li Longji found that his calves and ankles were sore, so he simply sat down on the ice to rest.

Li Yi also sat down: "The third brother is eager for speed and doesn't know how to adjust his body's center of gravity. He just exerts force on his ankles and gets tired soon."

"That's right. How can we smooth out the marks left on the ice?" Li Longji asked as he moved his ankles to relax.

"To water, use a big iron bucket with a row of small holes in the bottom, fill it with water, put it on the car, and drag it backwards. The water will be sprinkled evenly behind the car as it passes by."

Li Yi talks about how to pour ice.

The best ice is naturally ice made from artificial pure water, indoors.

In fact, it is the original ice outside. The river freezes naturally. That ice is good.

When pouring ice, it is too slippery and you have to pour it. When pouring ice, the water should not fall too high from the ice surface, otherwise bubbles will appear and the skin will peel.

"This thing is good and can be used in competitions." Li Longji quickly thought of competition.

The football field is almost completed. Apart from football, there are few other things to play in winter.

Polo is not suitable, rowing is not good, tug of war is boring, but skating is good.

Li Yi also thinks that ice and snow sports can give people a chance to be active in winter and exercise while playing.

"Let's see this year first. If there are many people, we can choose a place next year and a nearby mountainous place. After the snow falls, we can use snowboards."

Li Yi was thinking about the ice and snow project. Curling is easy to make and is already being made. What else is there?

"The Yulin Flying Cavalry is practicing skiing." Li Longji told Li Yi a piece of news.

"Dog sledding." As soon as Li Yi heard about Yulin Feiqi, he immediately thought of material transportation.

Without the Alaskan dog, a good Chinese pastoral dog can run just like that.

As for letting the Tibetan Mastiff pull, it is unrealistic. The Tibetan Mastiff's IQ is relatively low, so it's okay for the owner to follow it.

"Can we transport baggage?" Li Longji's first thought was war.

"He can also transport soldiers and his speed is very fast." Li Yi said.

"Okay, if that's the case, we should raise more." Li Longji's goal is Tubo. There is a lot of snow in Tubo and it is difficult to breathe.

If you use a horse, it will be difficult to take care of it. If you use a dog, you will obviously have more to feed.

Dogs can eat whatever humans can eat, and dogs can eat whatever humans can't.

Li Longji stood up with difficulty and continued to skate.

By lunchtime, he was able to skate twice and take a break.

In fact, they skated twelve laps in total, which quite tired Li Yi.

"Sure enough, the watermelon rind soup is still delicious. How did I discover it before?"

Queen Wang ate the fried siomai and drank the watermelon rind soup, praising her endlessly.

This is just like eating celery but not the leaves, eating coriander but not the roots, it is a matter of habit.

Until Li Yi's time, the pursuit of food became more and more in-depth, and there was nothing to eat without it.

Li Yi also ate fried siomai, but he drank mutton soup. Zhuangzi was all about mutton soup today, and deliberately killed the sheep to replenish everyone's health.

Li Longji imitated Li Yi and poured pepper into the mutton soup. Just as he was about to eat, someone came in and gave him a note.

He took a look, nodded to Li Yi and went out.

After a while, Li Longji brought in a slightly cautious young man.

"Brother Yi, this is..."

"Zhu Xie assists the country?" Li Yi stood up and asked guessingly, looking behind him, hoping to see an old man.

"Dr. Li, my father is in the car. He has been coughing continuously in the past few days."

Zhu Xiefuguo, who looked like an ethnic minority at first glance, tried not to look at Queen Wang. He had been told what to do before coming.

The emperor and empress of the Tang Dynasty actually pretended to be relatives of the emperor and interacted with a young proprietor of Zhuangzi.

"Are you having a fever?" Li Yi asked.

"Hot." Zhu Xiefuguo replied.

"I won't eat for now. I think I have pneumonia due to fever. At such an old age, do I need to be put on a ventilator? Oops! Let's go."

Li Yi thought it was troublesome, but he would do it no matter how troublesome it was.

With that said, he ran away and went to put on clothes and a mask. He didn't know if it was pneumonia. If it was, was it contagious?
