People's Heart

When nearly a thousand hot air balloons floated quietly over Sanyuan, the entire Sanyuan County was boiling, to be precise, it was scared.

Hundreds of black dots, to be precise, are black UFOs floating overhead in groups. Although they are not a shading of the sky, they also bring huge shadows to the space below, and the scene is quite spectacular.

What is that?

After a panic, people started to run around, fear, curiosity, fear and panic. However, when some people with good eyes saw that there were vague figures shaking on the high UFOs, and there were some huge banners hanging under the strange objects, all the panic and fear disappeared.

"Snow disaster rescue team, Sanyuan Liu's strong support!"

"Friendship in the disaster area, Datang is with you!"

"Don't abandon! Don't give up! Salvation of every Tang people!"

When the literate person read out the contents of these banners loudly, everyone's hearts calmed down, and then there was a warm boiling and cheering sound.

Although the name of the snow disaster rescue team is a bit strange, the literal meaning is easy to understand. It is easy to understand that these strange things flying in the sky are treasures of their Tang Dynasty, and are treasures used to save the people of the Tang Dynasty who suffered in the snow disaster. The court did not give up on them, and the emperor did not forget them. These things, these people, were to save lives.

After experiencing this spectacular scene, many people in the Sanyuan were moved to tears, especially those households whose houses collapsed in the heavy snow, and they burst into tears.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

I don’t know who shouted at the first time, and then this sentence seemed to fall into the spark of dry firewood. With a bang, it ignited the enthusiasm that had been in the hearts of the people, and many people also began to shout.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!!"

The voice was bright and went straight to the clouds. I heard the soldiers driving hot air balloons in the sky and the doctors who were going to rescue the disaster. The nervousness that was originally worried about whether they would encounter danger in the sky was suddenly dispersed without a trace. The resentment that had been forcibly asked to be calmed down before was completely restored. Now they are full of energy and wish they could rush to the disaster area to carry out rescue in one day.

Sitting at the base of the largest hot air balloon, Li Ke and Tao Yande couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, and at the same time sighed in their hearts that Liu Yi's move was so beautiful.

He did not take responsibility for the Tang Dynasty, and made the Liu family famous and won the people's hearts. It also made the soldiers and doctors sitting on the hot air balloon forget the fear and resentment in their hearts, and many of them even had the determination to die.

"At the beginning, I felt a little awkward when I looked at the banners below," I looked down and looked at the group of small dots on the ground. Tao Yande said loudly in Li Ke's ear: "I think that boy Liu Yi is completely making trouble. How can he use it like this serious thing in disaster relief and people, and he is kidding?"

"I'm not afraid of your highness' jokes when he said it," he took his head back, and the old man chuckled and said to Li Ke with a self-deprecating chuckling: "If it weren't for the fact that he donated the 200,000 pounds of silver to the disaster area, I wouldn't have agreed to let him make such a fool of himself, no matter how he said he wouldn't agree to let him make such a fool of himself."

Thinking about the scene when the balloon was approaching to ascend to heaven, the butler named Liu Wuchen of the Liu Mansion rushed to find him. Tao Yande couldn't help but feel a little grateful that he had left some thoughts and chose to meet him in person. Otherwise, wouldn't they have missed such an exciting event?

Thinking about the shocking scene when he said something he refused to put on the banner when he refused to let them take out the shocking scene of 200,000 guan of silver. Tao Yande couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, thinking that he was still not in a good state. Only 200,000 guan was so moved by Liu Wuchen's words. He went against his wishes and directly agreed to the matter and added a long tail to most of the hot air balloons.

Think about it now, compared to the two million coins donated by Liu before, what was the 200,000 coins at that time?

Tao Yande knew that the reason why he was shocked at that time was that he was completely shocked by Liu's generous donation of 200,000 yuan for just a few banners. Just for a few feet of cloth and a few insignificant and straightforward words, Liu Yipeng took out 200,000 yuan at once, which was really incredible.

You know, for this disaster relief, the court only gave out a total of 2 million yuan. Now, when he saw Liu Yi, he took out a share of one-tenth. How could Tao Yande, the Minister of Works, not be surprised?

"Not only Tao Shangshu, but even this king also found it very strange." After taking the words of Old Man Tao, Li Ke sighed and said, "Who could have thought that these few words that were so simple that could cause such a big sensation? It would have aroused the people's hearts to support our Tang Dynasty?"

"Did Shangshu hear the sounds below?" Listening to the neat and bright shouts below, Li Ke clenched his fists and said firmly: "This is the hearts of the people!"

What Li Ke was extremely eager for but unable to get was also the main purpose of his adventure to the disaster area. Unexpectedly, it was just a few banners and a few simple words written by Liu Yi, and he easily grabbed it in his hands.

Li Ke thought he had never looked down on Liu Yi, and knew that Liu Yi would have a deep meaning whenever he did something. So from the beginning, he kept silent about the banner and kept watching quietly. He wanted to know what kind of plan did Liu Yi spend 200,000 yuan? Also, what role could those cloth strips play?

Just now, just as the people below shouted "Long live the Tang Dynasty!", Li Ke suddenly realized that the cloth strips were really so useful. It turned out that what Liu Yi wanted was the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty and their Liu family's position in the hearts of the people.

Compared with these available people's hearts and the lofty reputation of the Liu Chamber of Commerce in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yipeng is not a loss. If possible, Li Ke is willing to donate two million or even more, as long as he can exchange for what Liu Yipeng has obtained now.

For Li Ke now, the only thing he felt a little relieved and glad that King Wu Li Ke was the leader of this rescue team. Although no one below knew about it now, Li Ke believed that as these hot air balloons drifted farther and farther away, Li Ke's reputation would spread farther and farther. At that time, there would be a share of King Wu among these available people's hearts.

So, to a certain extent, Li Ke would like to thank Liu Yi-Yi for making disaster relief so sensation, which is almost known to the whole country. It is no longer limited to the severely affected areas. Otherwise, he, the King of Wu, would not have received such great benefits from it.

"The people's hearts are available, and the people's power can be followed." Understanding the meaning of Li Ke's words, Tao Yande bowed and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness the King of Wu has gained a lot of money on this trip. I am here to express my gratitude to your Highness."

"Why are you happy about the people who are suffering from snow disasters?" Li Ke said seriously, "Besides, the journey here is vast, and it is still between whether you can reach the people safely. I only hope that these hot air balloons can reach the disaster safely and rescue the people trapped in the snow as soon as possible."

"Your Highness the King of Wu is righteous and devoted to the country and the people. I admire you!" Although I was full of disdain, Tao Yande still smiled and said to Li Ke: "As for the safety of these hot air balloons, you can rest assured. Although I cannot guarantee that all hot air balloons will not have any problems, I can guarantee that the one you ride on is definitely the safest and most comfortable of all hot air balloons."

Sure enough, Cen Wenben's judgment is good, and there is insider information here.

Li Ke curled his lips lightly, as if he was very disdainful of Tao Yande's behavior, but in his heart, he completely settled down and finally stopped worrying about his safety.

Sanyuan, Liu's House.

When groups of hot air balloons floated over Gutian Village, Liu Yi was hiding in the study, roasting the stove, savoring the incense, and talking about Liu Xiaohui word by word. During this period, he also told some small stories from his previous life from time to time, which attracted Xiaohui's fun in his studies.

"How many times have you told me that writing is like being a human being, with a straightforward manner, and not doing those evil ways," Seeing that the little girl wrote the words that had been wrong with the previous mistakes, and the writing was a bit messy and tilted, Liu Yi couldn't help but frown, and shouted in a very gentlemanly manner: "Look at you, this word Liu...well?"

Halfway through his words, Liu Yi stopped his voice and frowned slightly. Why did a noise suddenly sound outside the study?

"Brother, listen, you hear, something interesting seems to have happened outside?" Without taking their boss's scolding at all, Liu Xiaohui listened to the shouts of the servants outside excitedly, and looked eager to run out to find out.

"Young Master," Just as Liu Yi wanted to ask what was going on, Liu Cheng rushed into the house from outside and said loudly to Liu Yi: "Hot air balloon, the hot air balloon is flying! Now it is in the sky above our manor! There are also cloth strips you ordered to make yesterday hanging below!"

Although he had known for a long time that his young master had made something called "hot air balloons" that could fly in the sky, he also knew that in the past two days, there would be some things in Chang'an that would be transported from the sky with hot air balloons. Even the long banners that were to be hung on the hot air balloons were personally supervised and delivered to Liu Wuchen in Chang'an overnight.

Therefore, Liu Cheng had already made a lot of preparations for the hot air balloon ascending to the sky and flying over.

But even so, when he saw a group of black monsters flying overhead and taking the banners sent by their Liu family, Liu Cheng was still very excited.

Fly?!Is there really someone who can fly in the sky?!

Incredible, unbelievable, and uncomprehensible. The only thing Liu Cheng could do was to shout a few words with excitement at the crowd, "Long live the Tang Dynasty" and then ran to their boss to report the news.

"Really Brother Liu Cheng? Something actually flew in the sky?" Before Liu Yi could react, Liu Xiaohui rushed out with excitement and looked at the fun in the sky.

"This girl is getting more and more naughty." Seeing that the little girl disappeared, Liu Yi couldn't help but shake her head and chuckled, gently packed up the pen, ink, paper and ink on the table, and then took Liu Cheng out of the study together.

Thousands of hot air balloons are flying in the sky together. This kind of big scene can only be seen in later generations when there are competitions or performances. Liu Yi looked up at the sky and missed it a little.

Because most balloons are sewn from durable materials such as cowhide, and are mostly brown-yellow in the sky, like now, they float one by one, and look very conspicuous. No wonder these hot air balloons can be seen from afar before they float near.

Liu Yijing watched these hot air balloons slowly float to the north one after another, and sighed a little. He had to admire the wisdom of these ancient craftsmen. At that time, he just made a sample that was so simple that it could not be simple. According to the way Kongming lanterns took off, he roughly explained the principle of the hot air balloon. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, they could already apply the hot air balloon to such a level.

Flying smoothly in groups, and from Chang'an to Sanyuan, none of them accidentally fell or deviated from their course for dozens of kilometers. I have to say that this can be regarded as a big miracle.

"Young Master, look!" Liu Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the bright red cloth flying in the air, and said loudly: "That is the long cloth woven in our mansion! And the handwriting on it, you can see clearly from such a distance!"

"That's natural," Liu Yi shook his head and chuckled, looking at the giant banners lined up in the sky, and said in a low voice: "Two meters wide, twenty meters long. If you can't see clearly, wouldn't the 200,000 jin of silver coins we sent to Chang'an be wasted?"

"Well?" When Liu Cheng mentioned the 200,000 yuan, he couldn't help but feel a lot of resentment in his heart. He really couldn't understand why his young master had to spend such a large sum of money on such boring little things even though he knew that his family was short of financial resources.

Even if you are prodigal, there is no such way to defeat? Liu Cheng muttered his mouth. Although it seems that the cloth strips are effective now, they have a certain publicity effect on their Liu family, but Liu Cheng still feels that for these things, 200,000 yuan is not worth it.

Seeing that Liu Cheng didn't say anything, he knew what the kid was thinking. Liu Yi chuckled and ignored it. He just stood quietly in the yard, watching the hot air balloons in the sky gradually fading away, and listening to the nearby shouting "Long live the Tang Dynasty!" as thunderously as thunder.

All the thousands of hot air balloons on the day turned into black spots and disappeared. People's agitation began to calm down. After about a stick of incense, the Liu Mansion began to return to its former peace.

Liu Xiaohui didn't know where she went, and she hadn't come back until now. It seemed that she didn't want to stay in the study and practice calligraphy again today. Liu Yi did not go into this. After all, it was a holiday now, and the end of the year was approaching, so there was no need for him to make it too strict. If you want to play, let the girl have fun.

He called Liu Cheng to enter the study again, and baked around the stove and then left the hands and feet that were frozen to the point where they were frozen and stiff. Liu Yishi signaled Liu Cheng to sit next to him and talk.

"The cotton sets from the beginning to the end that the young master ordered to make have been completed," Liu Cheng sat next to the stove and carefully answered the young master's question: "Because the large amount of raw materials purchased by Liu Bing from Gaochang and the supply of cotton and cotton, the production of each component has been accelerated a lot. It is expected that more than 100,000 sets will be produced before the end of the year."

"Young Master," after answering, Liu Cheng boldly asked Liu Yiuan again: "You said we have consumed so many raw materials and made so many sets of clothes, but you don't let them go on sale. You just kept it in the warehouse. How long will it take to recover the cost?"

"I knew you couldn't help asking," he looked up at Liu Cheng, and Liu Yi said indifferently: "In fact, even if you don't ask, I will tell you clearly in a while and ask you to prepare a car of samples to send to Chang'an."

"Young Master is going to let those clothes go on the market?" Liu Cheng looked up happily at their young master. It should be sold for a lot of money for 30,000 sets of clothes.

"It's not going to the market, but for free." Liu Youxuan said, "Tomorrow, you bring 500 sets of samples to Chang'an. After you arrive, you will send all these clothes to General Li Ji, the Minister of War. As for the subsequent matters, there will be a butler Wuchen who is still in Chang'an to negotiate. After the goods are delivered, you just need to come back."

"Are those suits customized for the Tang Dynasty's army?" Liu Cheng's eyes lit up and he thought of the possibility. If their Liu Mansion could really take over the military's clothing and equipment, it would be a considerable investment.

"Whether you can become a military uniform in the Tang Dynasty depends on your trip to Chang'an and General Li Ji's attitude." Without any intention of concealing it, Liu Yi nodded slightly and said, "If this business can be completed, the business of my Liu Chamber of Commerce will also rise in the future, and our lives will be a little better in the future."

"Young Master, don't worry, this matter will definitely be done!" Liu Cheng said excitedly: "The Tang Dynasty military uniforms have seen them all. They are linen and cloth materials. Not to mention the cost, they are far from the cold and freezing protection. As long as Li Ji is not a fool, he will definitely choose our cotton woven suit as military uniform!"

"And now the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Gaochang is imminent," Liu Cheng continued to analyze: "The weather in Gaochang is much colder than in our Sanyuan. As the Grand Marshal of the Army who went on the expedition, Li Ji would not watch his soldiers get cold and cold. It is not an exaggeration to him to say that the suits we sent were a timely help."
