Chapter 1484: The National Flag Is Flying and Faith Is Strong
‘Click, click, click… squeak, squeak…’
The machine started to work, and the equipment exchanged by Li Yi worked again.
The Indians, like people in other places, stared with wide eyes to see how the magical house was built.
“Owner, they don’t keep rough wood.” The craftsman frowned as he watched the newly cut wood being broken into boards.
He went to the locals’ ‘home’ and took a look. The wood was piled diagonally together to form a cone, and a bundle was tied on top.
Some people had fur rings, while others had leaves.
In such houses, rainwater flowed down the side of the building on rainy days, and drainage ditches were dug next to each house.
There was no reserve of rough wood, which delayed things.
“Just make do with it first, put charcoal fire in the wooden house to roast, and if there is a crack, use nails to repair the board, and there is no need to use mortise and tenon structure.”
Li Yi had no good solution for this. If you want to find good wood, you have to go into the rain forest, where there is sappan wood, that is, Brazilian mahogany.
It can be used as a dye, but it has been made a protected species by a group of people who don’t care whether it will destroy a species.
Hunters in the Tang Dynasty all know when not to go into the mountains, and woodcutters know how to maintain a forest.
Some people only know how to destroy and plunder.
"Alas!" Li Yi sighed: "This base is particularly important, and it is related to the mental state of our people when they come here."
Li Yi refers to the long voyage from Hawaii to this place. Sailboats and steam engines are not as fast as yachts.
It is not easy to dock, and it is the most tiring time. Both the mind and the body are exhausted.
If there is a warm "home", it will help to inspire morale.
Therefore, Li Yi wants to use big wood to build a three-story building, not expecting people to live in it, and put the flagpole on it, and the flag of the Tang Dynasty will rise.
The strong natives help to pull the felled wood and help to lift it to the broken wood platform.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry divided 15 people, wearing plane glasses, breathing tubes, and flippers, and pulled the rubber boat to the sea to catch conchs.
They took it as training. There is no polluted sea water. As long as it is not too deep, when the sun shines, you can see the situation at a depth of more than ten meters from above.
The conchs are pleasing to look at, and make people... want to eat.
"Li Lang, should I change into my swimsuit and go to fish?" Princess Yongmu looked eager to try.
"No." Li Yi didn't even think about it. If you fish, what will happen if you are lost?
You can just swim in the swimming pool on the yacht, or wait until we get back to the manor, where you can go into the water at will, and a group of people will protect you.
"I'll take the oxygen tank and change to a scuba tank." Princess Yongmu thought of a good idea.
"There are many reefs underwater, and it's easy to get scratched." Li Yi still refused. A scratch from the reefs in the sea would hurt for several days.
"How to eat conch?" Seeing that she couldn't go into the water, Princess Yongmu studied conch.
"Use the simplest method." Li Yi looked mysterious.
"Boil and roast?" Princess Yongmu understood instantly that there were only two simple methods besides eating it raw.
"The big ones are steamed and eaten with sauce." Li Yi picked up a large conch: "With convenient transportation, people in the inland mountainous areas can also try it."
"You can only eat dry ones. Fresh ones are too expensive. People in the mountainous areas won't eat them. In fact, dried goods such as mussels, clams, and dried shrimps are already good. I couldn't eat them when I was a child."
Princess Yongmu recalled her childhood and was not happy.
"Yes!" Li Yi's eyes were a little empty. He thought of the destroyed Tianshu.
He was powerless to stop it at the time. Even if he could stop it, he would not stop it. It had to be destroyed.
That was something that praised Wu Zetian's belief in the Zhou Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was not stable to begin with. If there was another symbol that belittled the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty...
When fighting, we lost to Tubo, lost to the Later Turks, lost to the White-robed Arabs, and lost to the Khitan...
It will inevitably be used by those with ulterior motives to say how the Zhou Dynasty was, and how the Tang Dynasty is now.
Li Yi estimated that it was because of this thing that Wei and others had the idea that since Wu Zetian could do it, why can't we?
Poisoned Li Xian, and then was dealt with.
Princess Taiping also thought that she could do it, and the Tianshu was still standing.
"Let's choose a place and build a Tianshu more than 30 feet high, and put the heroes who died for the country together. It's a matter of money."
Li Yi thought it didn't matter if one fell, and he would build another one, just spend money! What's the big deal.
Look at the surrounding foreign countries bullying, isn't it just because they have a lot of money!
"Is it a waste of money and labor?" Princess Yongmu raised her eyebrows when she thought of the project.
"The workers are paid, and the money is in the hands of the people, and it will circulate.
The court's money will be partly spent on this, and the finances will be used to assist the faith.
At that time, we will raise the national flag of the Tang Dynasty every day, write a national anthem, and the people will all be able to sing it."
Li Yi likes to watch the flag raising, no matter where it is, even if the elementary school raises the flag on Monday, he will stand and wait for it to be raised.
Tiananmen Square is the best, with a guard of honor, the only disadvantage is that there are many people and it is crowded.
"Yeah!" Princess Yongmu smiled sweetly. Yes, it's a matter of spending some money. The court finances are sufficient.
"We are looking for people from other places to compete in archery, polo, football, badminton, swimming, rowing, running, javelin throwing..."
Li Yi introduced the competition items. It is not called the Olympics, but the Tang Dynasty Games of the World.
Take a mirror from Mount Taibai to get fire, and then pass the torch.
Princess Yongmu narrowed her eyes: "Yes, football has made a lot of money. The football team in Jingzhao Prefecture is very competitive. Some prefectures have also said that they can participate.
When the time comes, we will find other Yi people to play. I believe that the Tang Dynasty football team is the most powerful. If you dare to lose the game... you will be beheaded. "
Li Yi: "..."
"No need?" Li Yi felt that victory or defeat should not be linked to life.
"Last summer, the left back of Liyang County took the money of the gamblers outside and deliberately let several balls go. His leg was broken and he is now lame.
The person who gave the money was taken away by the King of Song. I don't know where he went. I think the King of Song wanted to make a fortune from the other party. If he didn't give it, he would be beaten to death. "
Princess Yongmu said it lightly. The leg was broken and the person was gone, just because of participating in a football game.
Li Yi swallowed his saliva and moved his legs: "It's a good idea. Let's go and see Qingdai. "
As he said this, he walked towards the house of the child who was bitten by a pit viper yesterday. When he walked, his legs felt a little unnatural.
The little girl was observing the patient. She changed the medicine herself. The place where the child's calf was bitten and the surrounding area were swollen.
The cold compress cannot be used all the time. Frostbite should appear. Fortunately, the swelling is not large.
The child did not get out of bed. He ate by himself. The little girl took care of the toilet. The little boy was obviously a little shy.
He looked at the little girl with a different look. This beautiful girl who was about the same age as him was good to him, right...
"Wow wow wow..." The little boy stared at the little girl with expectation in his eyes regardless of who was around.
The little girl listened and thought for a while: "Don't think about it. Why do you want to marry me? I will be dragged to death by you. You are so stupid."
"Last time, that family who was looking for gold mines got sick. Did they want to find our nurse? "
Li Yi didn't understand what the little boy said, but he understood what the eldest disciple meant.
So he remembered someone, the younger brother of a cadaver teacher he used for training, who fell in love with the nurse.
