I am engaged in construction in Datang

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongdong couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cookie and put it into his mouth.

Before I even started chewing, I couldn't wait to shout out, "Delicious!"

First some praise, then careful tasting.

She chewed twice, paused, and looked blankly at the cookies on the plate in front of her.

“Is this what cookies are like?”

She picked up another piece in disbelief...

At this time, the poisoned tenants had already sneaked away from the table and rushed home to brush their teeth.

Li Yin looked at the cookies on the table sadly.

[System, why is it so unpalatable? ]

【…】

[So it's all your fault]

【. 】

In order to change the image of cookies in Dongdong's mind, Li Yin asked the master chef in the village to make a few plates of cookies, and she was responsible for putting the baking trays into the oven.

She did the rounding herself.

It is now late September and the weather is getting cooler. Autumn chrysanthemums have surpassed the summer flowers in their prosperity and have become the new favorite of the literati and the princes.

"When autumn comes and September th, I will kill the flowers after they bloom."

Feng Sanxi shuddered all over. Why did he feel that the poem chanted by the owner of the manor was so murderous?

"Uncle Sanxi."

Li Yin said, "This year, let's dry some chrysanthemums and tangerines and soak them in water to drink."

"By the way, make some fruit wine."

Feng Sanxi responded, "Master, many merchants were interested in the electric lights and speakers behind the stage that day, and they came several times to ask how to sell them."

Li Yin was drinking milk tea and biting a taro ball.

"Tell them that in order to use electricity, they need an important material that is too difficult to find inland and too expensive, so they need to go out to sea and bring it back."

Although the first batch of people going to sea have been decided and the ship is almost built, going to sea is a long-term battle.

How could three large ships be enough?

Thirty or three hundred ships are not enough!

"Ask them if they are willing to take care of the ship, and share some of the spoils we bring back with them."

After the Tang Dynasty has developed for another ten years, this group of merchants will be able to form a fleet to go out to sea for trade.

"Once we bring back the materials, we can build them in large numbers."

Without perfect material to wrap the wires, she was uneasy about letting others install the wires.

The earliest plastic was called celluloid. Table tennis balls and billiard balls were made of it. It was not only insulating, but also stable and corrosion-resistant.

But it is flammable!

It also burns very fast.

Electricity is dangerous in itself, and if you add some celluloid to it, you won't even stand a chance of putting out the fire.

"Can we catch crabs these days?" Li Yin always gets interested when talking about eating. "If we keep them for a few more days, they will become old."

"..." Feng Sanxi hesitated to speak. The crab had just become fat, so how could it become old?

"Li Yi!"

Li Yin tore off a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it and handed it to the other party: "Hurry up and send it to my brother and sister-in-law."

"Today we're going to eat hairy crabs! Let's also get some freshwater fish, shrimp, loaches..."

As she spoke, Li Yin's saliva began to flow.

Should she bring out the eight crab pieces? They are specially used by the pretentious dignitaries to show their aristocratic style.

"Let's kill another black pig. Autumn and winter are coming, and the meat will only be plump and delicious in the next few days."

Today is the morning.

The reconstruction work in the Kanto area is about to be completed. The two places suffered heavy losses from the floods this time. Lao Li and his ministers are in deep sorrow.

"This summer, there were severe floods in the Huaihai and Guandong areas. I am deeply saddened."

Li Shimin was filled with deep sorrow: "It is a great loss to the country that the people died because of a minor flood."

He was really heartbroken. He used to not care about human resources, but now every unnatural death would make him sad for a long time.

"Therefore, I will set an example myself and open the treasury to donate 100,000 strings of cash to the people in the disaster area as a token of my appreciation."

"Your Majesty is kind and righteous!"

The ministers followed suit and shouted, then walked out one by one, donating money on behalf of the noble families behind them.

Some, like Wei Zheng, could only scrape together a hundred strings of cash. (Old Wei had money, but he didn’t dare spend it, but he dared to donate it.)

The largest donations, such as those from the great aristocratic families, were generally around 70,000 or 80,000 strings of cash.

The female village did not donate, and all the supplies and medicines during the disaster were provided by the village, and their value was no less than that of others.

The weekly report will also record the donation date and amount of each family according to their wishes.

Those who do not wish to be identified may use a code name.

There is a person named Yangzhou who often appears on the donation list, but no one knows who he is.

There are so many wealthy families in Yangzhou!

After talking about the flood, the official from the Honglu Temple came out and said, "Your Majesty, Japan has sent a group of envoys to study in our dynasty, and they have now arrived in Yangzhou."

"Why are you sending another team?" Li Shimin was puzzled. They just sent a team six years ago, and all the people haven't gone back yet. Why are they coming again?

"Your Majesty, I am probably curious about the new things in our dynasty."

In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty has changed with each passing day. Generals who have been away for two months fighting can hardly find their way home when they come back.

It is understandable that Japan is anxious.

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head: "What can they learn?"

A group of people who just copy others also dream of surpassing the Tang Dynasty?

Even if he showed them those things, they wouldn't be able to understand the twists and turns.

Just as he was about to start arranging these people, Wang De came forward with a hunched back.

"His Majesty."

Wang De whispered, "Master Li asked Li Yi to bring a message, saying that the crabs on the farm are fat today, so we're going to have a crab feast."

"Is it the newly cultivated seedlings?"

He still remembered the boast his sister-in-law made to him at the beginning of the year, saying that these crabs were seedlings shipped from far away and would grow big and fat.

After waiting for half a year, I can finally taste this.

"Yes." Wang De said, his tongue drooling: "I heard from Li Yi that the meat has been steamed."

"Ouch!"

Li Shimin turned his head to look at the pendulum clock. It was almost half past eleven.

It's time to eat.

He sneaked up to Wang De and asked quietly, "How much did you make? Is it enough to eat?"

"There are so many!"

Wang De narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Li knows that there will be a court today."

The voices of the ministers below the stage gradually became quieter. When they looked up, they saw Li Shimin and Wang De whispering to each other at the top, which looked unworthy of a noble occasion.

This situation has occurred many times. Either there is some urgent news outside the palace, or there is some special person asking to see him.

Now there is another possibility.

Someone from Nuzhuang sent a letter!

When the women from the village sent people over, even if they were delivering important news, they would bring everyone delicious food and drinks.

I just don’t know whether it’s pastries with tea or fried chicken with drinks this time.

"My dear friends."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Today, we caught a new type of blue crab in the farm. It is said that the meat is firm, sweet and delicious."

"Would you like to go with me?"

We are having a feast today!

The old men all smiled and said, "We are willing!"

Soon, a number of large trucks rushed towards the small gate of the weaving factory, first to pick up the lady and then to the farm.

As for the children, they don’t have the luxury of this delicacy. Even the older princes can’t go, let alone their own family members.

Among the younger generations, apart from Pei, only three princesses had come here.
