Chapter 587: Slave’s New Life Is Difficult for Envoys

"One, two, one, two..."

On the bank of a river in Lantian County, a group of people shouted slogans and pulled baskets upward.

There is a bamboo pry placed under the basket, and a rope is tied to the bamboo pry. Most of the basket is filled with mud.

Zuo Xiaowei's men were guarding the area, and the workers were slaves from the southwestern barbarians.

Li Yi finally thought of something he could do. A county assigned more than a thousand people to clean up the river mud.

When clearing mud in winter, there is less water, which is convenient but also cold.

Twenty counties will be cleaned up in six counties first. After six counties have been cleaned up, six counties will be replaced.

In the other two counties, slaves were used to dig coal.

The left and right military guards and the left and right Xiao guards take turns to guard, and the 'salary' given to them is given to the Ministry of War.

Li Yi was in charge of their food, and the slaves worked without receiving money from the county.

In fact, the management department should ask for money, and it is a job for the labor department to help.

Li Yi knew that if he didn't come, Wei Zhigu wouldn't be able to give him money, and he wouldn't have any money either.

He just thought he was doing something good. He kept nearly 12,000 slaves and they were still next to Chang'an City. Why?

Are other large households trying to run a thousand nursing homes? You want to rebel, right?

The key is that Li Yi knows that many people have set up immortality tablets for him, which is the popular sentiment.

The people couldn't give him much money, so he simply didn't want the money. If the slaves were idle, they would be idle.

Near Lantian County, the team arrived first, carrying baskets, bamboo levers, ropes, and backpacks containing daily necessities.

Li Yi just wears boxer briefs and jumps down to work. Whether he will get sick decades later, Li Yi doesn't care.

When the Tang Dynasty went to the people for interrogation, the people did the same thing, and some even went naked.

The villagers couldn't do it, Li Yi felt distressed, but the people of the Tang Dynasty could, but slaves were more noble than the people?

While working, people were beaten from time to time.

The later captives were not yet fully integrated into the extended family and were lazy at work.

Zuo Xiaowei watched and kept score.

The other prisoners looked at it and thought, "Is this really a big deal?" If you are lazy, we will suffer the consequences and beat you.

After being beaten, he suddenly became more diligent when working again.

The local people stood on the shore and watched, watching and discovering the situation.

"Everyone helps us weave baskets. They are made of wicker, fried dough sticks, or bamboo. The baskets are easy to break."

Someone shouted that the basket was broken and the work was delayed.

Lantian County suffers from droughts and floods from time to time. If the river is cleaned up, there will be less floods.

There is no fear of drought, there is a newly drilled well.

"Yes, one basket per family is for us to do. Those who weave baskets for sale have two baskets from each family. You can weave them quickly."

Others shouted after them and went home to get a deep-fried dough stick basket. It takes half a day to make a deep-fried dough stick basket.

People who specialize in weaving and selling baskets are fast and have wooden stands. After laying the baskets on the stand, it is easy to weave them again.

Some people in the county town even bought baskets. It was not cost-effective to make one by themselves. They worked during the time when they had baskets and earned several baskets of money.

In villages that are not in the county seat, the village organizes people to weave baskets by hand.

Especially those who are not in good health and cannot do heavy work, the village provides them with food.

Now help with the side baskets and no one will suffer.

Otherwise, if the Ministry of Works hires someone to clear out the silt, you will have to jump in and dig it yourself.

Nowadays, some people are working for free, so why not give them a basket?

"Master, the Khitan envoy team from Chang'an is here. There are only four of them in total. They can come over at any time as promised."

Song De found Li Yi who handed bamboo shoots to the giant panda and exchanged feelings with the giant panda.

"Come in, I'll meet them here." Li Yi handed a bamboo shoot in.

The giant panda with the child stretched out its paws to take it, hugging it and chewing it.

You don't want the old ones on the outside, just eat the tender ones in the middle. It's raising a baby and needs to eat well.

"You still have to eat bamboo. It's not the bamboo shoots that I can't feed you, it's your gastrointestinal needs.

I know you prefer to eat meat, but eating too much meat is not good for your health. You see, I just... sometimes eat vegetables.

At night, I’m going to exchange a baby with you. He will always drink milk made from powdered milk. The little one is not healthy enough..."

Li Yi sat there looking at the way coming and talking to the giant panda.

Giant pandas cannot take baths and the smell is not good, so Li Yi sits in the spotlight.

"Bang bang" the giant panda patted the cage. It had finished eating and was waiting for Li Yi to send the next one. When Li Yi was talking, it reminded it.

"Here, do you know how much a bamboo shoot this big now costs?

This one was kept in an ice cellar. The others were soaked in salt water and were not brought to you.

Those that have been soaked in salt water need to be soaked in salt water. They are all skinless and can be eaten by people.

In the ice cellar, you need to light a kerosene lamp first. Without the lamp, the oxygen content in the air will decrease and the carbon dioxide will increase..."

Li Yi began to explain to the giant panda how to preserve the bamboo shoots it ate.

The amount of ice is arranged in the ice cellar, a few kerosene lamps are put in to light it, and the cellar door is sealed.

When the kerosene lamp burns to a certain level and there is no more oxygen, it is extinguished and sealed in the cellar.

The burning of kerosene lamp inside consumes oxygen, increases carbon dioxide, and slows down the metabolism of bamboo shoots.

It is equivalent to the gas storage at Li Yi's time, and is easier to use than a direct cold storage.

The giant panda ate and listened, but he didn't understand it anyway, so he knew that he was very happy to eat fresh bamboo shoots in the winter.

"You gave birth to your baby late, and other giant pandas' babies have already been born. Look at yours... someone is here."

While Li Yi was chatting with the giant panda, he saw four people coming.

Also present were three officials from Honglu Temple, who were responsible for recording what they heard and saw.

"Dongzhu Li, no, Doctor Li. My name is Tian Qingyuan, the young minister of Honglu Temple. These two are Liutong, the chief minister of Honglu Temple, and Sun Wanyun, the chief secretary."

Shaoqing Tian Qingyuan introduced himself and the other two officials. He was from the fourth rank, the prime minister was from the sixth rank, and the recorder was from the ninth rank.

Li Yi stood up and returned the greeting.

Tian Qingyuan continued to introduce the four Khitans. The Khitans did not have surnames. They don’t have any surnames now. They just choose their own names.

"They are Brother Bo, Xier, Na Duo, and Qi Jiahan." The four people introduced each other in one sentence.

The four people saluted, and Li Yi returned the salute again: "The fact that the four envoys come to Zhuangzi is a testament to the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan. Song De, please invite the Bacharcha brothers."

Song De left, and eight palace maids and eunuchs placed small tables and chairs, as well as fruit plates and tea.

"It's not cold here. We raise giant pandas and have a special heating tunnel underground. It's stuffy in the room and there's not enough space for many people to stand there."

Li Yi explained why he didn't invite anyone into the room.

‘Bang bang’ the giant panda patted the wood. It ran out of food and wanted more.

Li Yi picked up a bamboo shoot and handed it over. The giant panda took it and sat on the edge of the cage watching a group of people and eating while watching.

It means that you talk about yourselves, and if I don’t talk to you, remember to pass me something to eat.

Not long after, three hundred and ninety people from UU Reading www.uukanshu.net arrived.

They were reading the Chinese Pinyin page of the newspaper and communicating with each other as they walked over.

When they arrived at the place, they bowed to Li Yi almost at the same time: "Dr. Li."

Li Yi returned the favor with cupped fists.

The three hundred and ninety people looked at their envoys in Chang'an again and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Four envoys: "..."

They feel heartbroken, who are you from? We are your superiors, shouldn't you be close to me?

"Go and move the stools yourself. I can't take care of you by myself." Li Yi said casually to the Khitan prisoners.

Three hundred and ninety people dispersed, they knew where the stools were.
