Chapter 1457: Appearance of Happiness Lacks Fresh Water

Princess Yongmu picked up some shellfish meat to eat, stopped after eating a few, looked at the happy faces of the islanders around her, tilted her head and asked Li Yi.

"Li Lang, just give them money and tell them to use this money to buy our things?"

"No, that's deceiving themselves. They must pay the corresponding price before they can get our money." Li Yi waved his hand.

"Use money to buy their shells? Then they will get used to using our money, just like the people in Chang'an are used to using exchange coupons?"

Princess Yongmu thought that the same model could be adopted.

Li Yi still waved his hand: "Let them farm and grow vegetables. They only grow rice now, and there are few other grains. They dig wild vegetables and eat things from the sea.

We set aside a piece of land, give them money, and hire them to work.

Red beans, soybeans, cabbage, spinach, etc., our people come here to eat.

The closer we are to the sea, the more we need fresh vegetables, and then teach them how to make soy products."

Li Yi had already planned to turn the islands with people around into vegetable planting bases.

He then added: "By then, if there are seafarers who want to do that with them, I won't stop them. If they have children, they will slowly teach them the writing and language of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi is open-minded. They are a matriarchal society and don't need men to help raise children.

When the population increases and exchanges become more frequent, the local area will be directly incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

With the abundance of material, the difference in people's labor force is reflected, and the class division is serious.

Gradually, the local area has become a feudal society.

It won't take too long for the Tang Dynasty, which has military, economic, cultural and technological advantages, to be the dream of everyone.

People in these places still live in tribal groups, so there is no patriotism.

As long as others are strong enough and can guarantee their own benefits, they are willing to attach themselves.

Don't talk about the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi thought of another time and space.

Isn't it the same? Whoever is strong will be listened to, and even drag their families to run there.

Small countries, although they look like they have sovereignty, actually have to listen to others.

Princess Yongmu picked up a shellfish and fed it to Li Yi: "What if there are too many people on the island and there is no room for them?"

"It's too early. It will take many years for the population to increase by dozens or hundreds of times. Don't worry about it for now." Li Yi didn't think about problems that were too far away.

He wanted to make the national strength of the Tang Dynasty many times stronger than before in a short period of time, and the rest would be easy.

Princess Yongmu thought for a while and said, "The world is too big. I want to go and see it."

"It's simple. When the Tang Dynasty stabilizes a little, we can go wherever we want." Li Yi remembered that there were resources in other places.

"In other places, there are many fruits that we have never eaten. They are delicious. Most of them should be planted in Qiongzhou."

Li Yi thought of the fruits in Africa. There are places in Africa with unique environments, but the desert is not counted.

"It must be inconvenient to transport them. They will rot when they are transported to Changan." Princess Yongmu smacked her lips. She wanted to eat fruit.

In the past, there were fruit plates for meals, but canned food can only be eaten when going out to sea.

Except for canned hawthorn, other things don't seem to be as delicious as fresh fruits. Does hawthorn count as fruit?

"Yacht, drive the yacht to eat, pack it up after eating, and then drive back to Chang'an for others to taste." Li Yi pointed to the yacht parked on the sea.

Yachts are fast, and you can also get a gas tank to load fruits, which can be preserved for a long time.

As long as the temperature is controlled and there is a gas tank, any fruit can be preserved, at least it is no problem to eat relatively fresh.

Cherries, mangosteens, bayberries, lychees...

As long as Li Yi is willing to preserve anything, it is no problem, the cost is high or low.

"This summer, I will fly over to bring back the melons from Hami for you to eat."

Li Yi thought of Hami melons, which are not available in Chang'an.

Princess Yongmu shook her head vigorously: "No, I will eat sweet teeth."

"Or I can get some fresh water, add a box for ice cooling, and when the melons from Hami are about to mature, soak them in fresh water, put them in the box, and send them over by fast horse."

Li Yi thought of a way to save life. With this method, it is no problem to preserve for a month.

If the ice melts on the way, re-ice it at the post station, it's a matter of money.

"I want to eat it. I'm not afraid of my teeth. Li Lang, you can treat teeth." Princess Yongmu quickly agreed when she heard that she didn't need to live any longer.

"We have to talk to the rich people and ask them if they want to eat it. If they do, we can send more people to get melons and earn back the travel expenses."

Li Yi didn't even want to pay for the money for horse money, labor costs, and ice.

Princess Yongmu smiled into a crescent moon: "I said in Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion... I said eating this for beauty and beauty."

"You're right, it's really a medicine, the seeds are not bad, and it's better to make it into preserved fruits when it's fresh." Li Yi first gave Princess Yongmu a thumbs up.

Women's beauty, men's functions, the life span of the elderly, and the intelligence of children are all sales points.

Princess Yongmu was even happier. Suddenly seeing the islanders, she sighed: "They still live a simple life. They are very happy when they have fish to eat."

"Then you haven't seen them when they have no food to eat, and when they are sick.

When a typhoon comes, the waves roll people in, and the island is humid and hot.

The life span of the locals is short, much shorter than that of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi doesn't want to live such a simple life, he has to enjoy it.

The aboriginals who were being talked about by the two people were really happy.

They got a lot of shells, delicious dips, and fish to eat at will.

There was also salt, so they pickled the fish and dried it, and they would eat it when the weather was bad and there was nothing to eat.

The most important thing is that the child said that there will be more ships from the Tang Dynasty coming in the future, exchanging things for what they need.

It is not easy for them to exchange things, especially people, women go to other places, or other men and women come.

It is too risky to get a boat out by yourself, so you usually wait for others to come.

With the big shells, you can collect water when it rains.

The female leader's mind is not on the shells and fish, she glanced at the yacht from time to time.

After looking at the yacht, she looked at Li Yi, and Feng Qingdai introduced her.

The big ship belongs to Li Yi, her master, the one who taught her.

The team must stop her master's words, her master is very powerful in the Tang Dynasty.

The female leader chatted and listened, and suddenly said a few words to the little girl.

"Master, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net She asked me, how do we get water on the boat? She said that there is too little water on the island, and someone will die in danger because of taking water from leaves in the forest."

The little girl stood up and shouted to Li Yi.

"Tell her that we will make a lot of wooden barrels for them to collect rainwater."

Li Yi was not going to exchange things for the people on the island. He could exchange for very useful water storage equipment.

It is not worth wasting life to make wooden utensils.

There are tools for breaking wood. It is simple to make wooden barrels. You can use hemp ropes soaked in tung oil.

There are also iron wires on the yacht, which are drawn by wire drawing, and there is also glue.

No craftsmen are needed, the Yulin Flying Cavalry can do it.

Fresh water is not only for local people. When ships come in the future and need to replenish fresh water, there is no need to worry.
