Chapter 1493: Hardworking Nature Is Different

The flames of the torches swayed in the sea breeze, and the well-fed aboriginals sang and danced around the bonfire.

The people in the Datang team only ate half full and kept fighting at all times.

The craftsman was shaving the heads of others with a scraper in his hand. According to Ruan Jin's request, everyone would be bald in the future to prevent illness.

The person who was going to be shaved first wet his hair with warm water and applied soap.

The scraper scraped along the roots of the hair, and when the long hair was shaved off, soapy water was applied again, and the hair was scraped forward and backward once, and the hair was shaved clean.

"I won't, I won't shave, I'm an official, and officials need to be decent." The official who was almost chopped off before was making trouble again.

He was afraid that he would be laughed at by his colleagues after going to sea once, and it would take at least three years to grow hair that could be tied up.

Ruan Jin came over with a knife: "Keep your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head."

"Why, why are you so unreasonable? Shave gently, use a sharp knife, don't pull hard."

The official looked at Ruan Jin for three seconds and got scared.

When he came out, he received training. The captain of a ship is the most important. He can throw anyone he wants off without any reason.

The leader of a fleet is the most important. He can abandon any ship he wants without any excuse.

"If you dare to be nosy again, you can save food for the team." Ruan Jin glared at the official and turned to look elsewhere.

When Ruan Jin walked away, the official muttered: "I can still work. If you don't want to take me with you, leave me here and wait for you to come back and take me..."

"Take your suicide note back to the Tang Dynasty?" Liu Tingguang stood behind the official without knowing when.

"Where is there room? My scalp is itchy. I want to shave first..." The official ran away, shouting as he ran.

The people who had their heads shaved took a cold shower, put on their cropped pants, and continued to use axes and saws to process the trees dragged back under the light of the fire.

When the female leader saw that the Tang people were working again, she quickly called her people, "Stop jumping, go and work."

The indigenous people looked at each other and ran to work. In fact, they didn't want to work with wood. It was tiring. It would be much better to sing and dance.

They couldn't understand why the Tang people who came twice were not willing to work.

They slept when they were tired and ate when they were hungry. The rest of the time was to work, work, and work.

They only took a short break when they were tired from working, and then continued to work.

In the middle of the night, some Tang seamen swam back to the boat to rest. They were worried about others.

Others slept on the island and applied some floral water. There were mosquitoes on the island.

They were not afraid of being bitten and itchy, but they were worried about getting sick.

...

In the same night, the people on the yacht did not sleep.

Everyone was shaken to the point of vomiting. The waves in the Drake Passage were one after another, like riding a roller coaster.

Li Yi's stomach was churning. The only thing to be thankful for was that he told everyone not to eat too much in advance.

"Li, Li Lang, this, this boat can still sail?" Princess Yongmu was pale.

Li Yi wanted to give her a seasickness injection, but she refused and insisted, saying that she would get used to it.

"Don't take this route, go back and take another one, that one... is a little better, there is actually another one in the middle, it's too narrow."

Li Yi was worried that the boat would capsize, there was a strong wind above and turbulence below.

The boat rose and fell again and again, and the waves hit the deck again and again.

He wanted to change to a bigger ship. The current tonnage was small, no wonder they had to dig the Panama Canal, it was simply not a place for people to pass.

"Suez, Panama, must be dug out, and there is also the Kra Canal." Li Yi squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

The Kra Canal was his Thai at that time. If it was dug out, it could bypass Malacca.

Thailand wants to open the canal, but is worried that after it is opened, the area on the other side of the canal will be full of *** people, and they are afraid of independence.

At the same time, many countries in the international community block it, such as Singapore, which relies on the Strait of Malacca to survive.

And Malaysia and Indonesia, their interests are damaged.

Other countries do not want Li Yi's country to trade more smoothly, and they also block the excavation of the Kra Canal.

What Li Yi wants to dig out quickly is the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, which are convenient for going to America and the Mediterranean.

The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty has steam locomotives, and it is developing quickly while others can't catch up with the technology.

"When I go back, I will find a way to dig the canal here, give money, send people, and then hire local natives to work together. There are explosives, metal tools, and health guarantees."

Li Yi is ready to exchange other ships at any time to take everyone out of danger, muttering.

Historically, the actual excavation process of the canal took ten years, and someone had excavated one-third of the easier excavation areas before.

It took several more years to repair and open to navigation.

"Alas!" Li Yi sighed again, he knew it was impossible in a short time.

The Panama Canal needs to store water, that is, build a large dam.

When the canal was built, there were cranes, chainsaws, and trains.

If the Tang Dynasty had such capital, why didn't it use it within the Tang Dynasty first? Why go to America?

Even building a railway on the land of Panama or Ecuador to connect the two sides is not cost-effective, and the investment is too large.

The Tang Dynasty needs a bridge over the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, as well as other better roads and railways.

For the time being, we don't need the resources of America, so we can just use ships in America. At worst, we can't cross Cape Horn and get resources on the west coast.

Continuing south from Cape Horn is Antarctica, where the weather is very cold.

Li Yi regretted for a while, and the yacht began to change its course. Take it slow, don't be hit by the waves and capsize.

When it was dawn, Li Yi collapsed in the captain's room, and everyone was the same as him.

"After we get the things, the boats behind us won't come over. Something will happen." Li Yi didn't want to let the Tang people take risks.

Wait a minute. When the Tang navy is used to long distances on the ocean and is better at maneuvering and steering, we can consider passing through here.

The resources on the west coast are sufficient. At worst, the army can disembark and go deep into the jungle on land.

"The sea is too fierce!" Xiaolan was doing eye exercises there. She was seasick and her eyes and head hurt.

It was like waking up in the morning after a hangover. There was no place on the body that didn't feel uncomfortable. It was best to faint, and then you would be fully recovered when you wake up.

Li Yi stood up and staggered to the kitchen, put a lot of meat oil in a large jar, poured salt and dried scallions, and filled it with water and boiled it.

Sprinkle pepper powder, ginger powder, and pepper powder.

"Come on, everyone, drink a bowl. If you feel uncomfortable, spit it out and drink it by blowing."

Li Yi first filled seven bowls and served them on a tray to Princess Yongmu, Xiaolan, the little girl, and four palace maids.

He then served more to the eunuchs and craftsmen.

"Master, we will do it ourselves." The Yulin Flying Cavalry had never been so shaky before. They insisted one by one and did not let Li Yi move.

"Stay, I will do it. I am better than you." Li Yi refused. He personally served soup to others.

He was really good. He had a driver's license, a helicopter driver's license, and a yacht driver's license.

He could play with individual flying vehicles. He had received training before, especially the simulation cabin rotation.

The simplest training was the movable roller and fixed roller training, which was very cool.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. I will take you to play with the movable roller when I go back." Li Yi apologized to the Yulin Flying Cavalry.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry, who had just recovered a little, turned pale again in an instant.
