In the morning, Li Li opened his eyes and found that he was still alive. He reached out to touch the side and found that it was empty.

I turned my head and looked at the bedside and found that half of the clothes I had with me were missing.

Since Zhao Mengniang had already gotten up, Li Li's sudden idea naturally couldn't realize it. She withdrew her hand, pillowed her head, and looked at the curtain above and came back to her senses.

Last night, Li Li and the river clam lady who sneaked into the field to assassinate had a fierce battle. The battle was so fierce that she couldn't sleep all night until it was lightly dawn that the winner was decided.

Of course, this is a metaphor.

Since Li Li became the official of Zhu, he has launched a "massacre" of river clams in Pengli Lake District. Countless river clams died because of him. Then, if there is a river clam lady, she will naturally take revenge.

In ancient times, there was a river clam lady who repaid his kindness, but in today, there was a river clam lady who repaid his kindness.

Li Li smiled in his heart and said: How can we take revenge? Your tribe members were crushed by me and I ate nothing left.

People who grow up by the lake are not unfamiliar with river clams. Even if the river clams you catch are not as good as pearls, the clam meat can be cooked and eaten.

However, this thing has a strong fishy smell and does not have the seasonings for removing fishy smells. After eating too much, you will feel like vomiting even if you smell it.

But for many people from poor families, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it doesn’t matter whether they are fishy or not. It’s better to fish for fish than fishing clams. Fish meat is always better than clam meat.

Therefore, for the Bead Bureau, the countless river clams picked from the rake, cut open the beads and extracted them, the remaining clam meat and clam shells are useless things.

But Li Li didn't want to waste it, so he collected the clam meat and shells and used them again.

He was raising black birds, and black birds ate meat, so the huge amount of clam meat obtained from raking is a good feed; at the same time, the clam shells can be roasted and burned into ashes as a substitute for quicklime, mixed into mortar and used to build walls.

As a result, the ash kiln next to Baishi Village was filled with thick smoke all day long, and countless clam shells were burned into ashes in the kiln, and then turned into mortar and sandwiched in the cracks of stones, turning into the barrier stone wall of Baishi Village.

In another form, he guards the "Pearl" - Shiraishi Village.

Countless clam meat fell into the fish pond, swallowed by ferocious black birds, digested, and nutrients were absorbed into fish meat, and residues turned into fish manure, falling at the bottom of the pond, and washed to another fish pond by the water flow.

There, fish manure reproduces plankton, which are sucked in by silver carp with wide mouths, continue to digest and absorb, and enter a new cycle.

River clams are full of treasures, and they cannot be wasted. After the "massacre", there will be no shocking corpses, but a fat black bird and silver carp.

This is Li Li's plan, to make use of all the resources that can be used. The Pearl Bureau is not only responsible for the Pearl Service, but also provides various conveniences for his actions.

With a creaking sound, the door was gently pushed open. Zhao Mengniang appeared in Li Li's vision, followed by a maid, holding a food box in her hand, which should be a food meal.

Li Li's wake-up time is relatively fixed. No matter how he tossed the night before, he would get up at about the same time the next day, so the kitchen is ready to eat.

Zhao Mengniang, who had finished washing up, saw the good man get up and quickly stepped forward to serve, and then had a meal with Li Li.

Seeing that there was only his own breakfast in the food box, Li Li asked Zhao Mengniang: "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Zhao Mengniang nodded, took out the shrimp porridge in the food box, and also had cooked eggs and fish balls.

"Oh, why don't you call me when you get up?"

"I want Saburo to sleep for a while."

Li Li looked at his concubine and smiled and said, "You don't want to eat shrimp porridge, please hide from me."

"No, I can eat it all..." Zhao Mengniang chuckled gently, her face flushed, and the pearl necklace on her neck emitted a white light. Li Li didn't say much and started eating the porridge himself.

"You need to eat shrimp porridge. The shrimp skin replenishes calcium. The effect of calcium supplementation is much better than drinking bone soup."

"You need to bask in the sun more. If you are afraid of tanning, then you should bathe in the early morning. The light is not strong at this time, and it just fits."

"Um."

Zhao Mengniang accepted Li Li's instructions and she did everything, such as eating more fish and shrimp, soy products to supplement calcium, eating more fish and meat, and eggs to supplement protein (you can't eat too much egg yolk).

Then I will bask in more sunshine to help supplement calcium and keep insisting on it, because only in this way can I grow taller and have a strong body.

I don’t know if it’s Li Li’s statement that is really effective or if it’s good luck. Zhao Mengniang has grown significantly in the past six months.

But compared to Li Li, it is pale in comparison.

Li Li's height is significantly taller than last year. If it weren't for regular height measurement, Zhao Mengniang wouldn't believe that Li Li's height was so fast.

In a year, Li Li grew one head taller and her skin became much darker. After all, she was often sunbathed and could not be avoided.

Then because I kept exercising, I became much stronger.

For Zhao Mengniang, Li Li's strength has two meanings, which can make her ecstasy and die. What she has been thinking about now is to continue the incense for Li Li.

"You have to insist on supplementing calcium. Really, if you get pregnant in the future, be good to your children and be good to yourself." Li Li looked at Zhao Mengniang seriously after breakfast.

"Pregnant women are prone to calcium deficiency. It doesn't matter if their foundation is good. If their foundation is bad, they will become more calcium deficiency when they are pregnant, which is prone to fractures and fatigue..."

Zhao Mengniang suddenly turned red in her eyes. Seeing this, Li Li quickly comforted her: "Oh, why are you crying?"

"I'm not... wuwuwu..." Zhao Mengniang was really anxious because she had not moved her stomach for half a year.

"What's the hurry? It's early?" Li Li held the concubine's hand and comforted softly: "I can't be anxious about this kind of thing."

"Besides, what if you have a few years later? You and I will pass the world of two first, isn't it good?"

The world of two people is a strange and warm word for Zhao Mengniang. When she is with Li Li, she only feels that time passes quickly. Thinking that Li Li is going to Jiankang, she has to stay alone in the empty room every night, Zhao Mengniang's eyes turn red again.

"Okay, okay, it's not good to cry too much. Don't tell anyone about my trip to Jiankang. My mother knows that she won't ask. If someone asks, I'll do it in the lake."

"Well, Saburo, why did you arrange this?"

"It's always good to be more mysterious when you walk. Be obedient and stop crying."

Li Li comforted her concubine and told her: "In the future, you should pay attention to calcium supplementation and be prepared. If you have it in the future, it will not be that hard."

The maid came in to take away the tableware, and the two of them were left in the room. Li Li did not plan to "work harder" but arranged a job.

Zhao Mengniang was his concubine and his "Director Zhao", so during the period when he left Poyang, Zhao Mengniang had to continue to perform her work responsibilities.

“Are the gifts ready?”

"Everything is ready. According to Sanlang's request, I have prepared one by one. I have checked it. There is no problem and I have not made any statements to the public."

"There can't be any problem. I want to give it to the Shaofu Cheng. There must be no mistakes in the gifts. Also, I will prepare some good copper coins. I will bring more money to Jiankang. There will be more places to spend money."

Zhao Mengniang looked at the list and asked with some concern: "Sanlang, can you really come back before the New Year when you go to Jiankang?"

"According to the plan, it should be possible. After all, I just showed my face and sent me filial piety, and it's nothing big." Li Li thought, looking relaxed.

"But, I have made arrangements for the future. They are in charge of all matters here. If there is any major event, Wulang and Lianglang will discuss it. Don't worry."

"Jia Lang manages the operation of the workshop very well. You just need to manage the female workers well."

Seeing that Li Li had an orderly arrangement and no longer had any worries, Zhao Mengniang asked curiously: "Is Jiankang City really big?"

"It's big, very big. It is said that the number of registered households in the city is 200,000."

"Twenty-hundred thousand households? So many?" Zhao Mengniang was surprised.

"Many, after all, it's a capital city. With a household of five, that's one million people."

A city with a permanent population of one million is nothing in later generations, but in this era, it is a world-class metropolis, so Li Li had an idea.

More than 40 years of peace have made Jiankang City extremely prosperous. Li Li wanted to see the prosperous scene of this super metropolis and imprint it firmly in his mind.

Because, you may not be able to see it in a few years.
