Chapter 1512: Don’t Be Sad when the Young Eagle Grows Up
"I'll give you a tablet and teach you how to operate it. It has voice translation, topographic maps and other information. Let's learn it together."
Li Yi wants to exchange for another tablet and copy the information into it.
The team took a diary from the start to now and brought it back to the Tang Dynasty.
"Thank you for your hard work, Boss." Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Ruan Jin thought of what Li Yi and his team had experienced.
Without Li Yi, would it be enough to die 100,000 people for the same information?
Including the location of reefs on the main routes, climate characteristics, local population, eating habits, living habits, plant and animal species, ocean current patterns, wind direction changes...
A team of 40 large ships with 6,000 people cannot produce the same information even if all of them die 20 times.
"Don't flatter, remember the word cautious, don't seek merit, but seek no mistakes.
Brothers' lives are the first, and cannot be measured by money. Whose child? Whose husband? Whose father?
We in the Tang Dynasty love peace, but it doesn't mean we don't have temper. If someone dares to attack, we will destroy him.
If we find that we can't destroy him, run back to the Tang Dynasty, and we will reorganize our troops to go there."
Li Yi talked to Ruan Jin about the communication problem earnestly. He didn't go deep into South America, and there were some places he didn't stop along the way.
What if someone doesn't know what's good for him and gives him something to show goodwill, he thinks you are afraid of him, and instead wants to rob you of your things and kill your people.
Don't be polite if you meet him, fight to the death. If the other party organizes more people to continue to fight, then beat them to submission.
Ruan Jin nodded vigorously: "Listen to the host, but host, I guess no one will attack us, there are 6,000 people."
Ruan Jin has such confidence, more than most of them are combatants, carrying weapons, who is stupid enough to take the initiative to attack?
"You are not allowed to participate in the war between other tribes. I mean, don't mediate. If you must mediate, remember to give gifts to both sides first."
Li Yi mentioned another thing. Do you know what is going on when others fight?
It's like someone came to the Tang Dynasty to mediate the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, haha!
Is it okay? Sure! First give 10,000 war horses, or pull out a million cavalry, and recognize your qualifications.
"Understood!" Ruan Jin looked serious.
"Basically there is no big problem. They also trade with each other. You will know the situation after reading the information on the tablet."
Li Yi chose to let it go. He just looked like watching a child go on a long journey.
Usually, mothers who send their children will give instructions over and over again.
As a father, it is a few simple words. The rest he wants to say but is unwilling to say. Children will always grow up, and young eagles will eventually rely on themselves to fly in the blue sky.
Ruan Jin stood up and tapped one knee: "Don't worry, host, I will lead people to study hard."
"Let's cook. There are many of us. Prepare in advance." Li Yi said as he left his seat and put his hand into the pocket of his big pants.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan took Li Yi's arms on the left and right, not feeling hot.
The natives were like celebrating a festival, the children ran around, looking here and there.
The adults worked hard, and there were many fish, shrimps and shellfish.
For the Tang Dynasty team, providing things to the 300 local people was a piece of cake.
The local indigenous people definitely did not feel that they had to survive.
A large wooden barrel with a lot of water, salt, food, wood for making boats and houses, useful tools, and beautiful "cloth".
Princess Yongmu took Li Yi's arm and felt that her hand was too hot, so she pulled Li Yi's hand out of her trouser pocket, pulled it, and swung it back and forth.
Xiaolan followed suit, holding hands, and walking in the opposite direction of Princess Yongmu.
Li Yi turned the same way instantly, and he stopped: "You two are walking the same way."
"Oh!" Xiaolan took the initiative to adjust, who made her a step late.
The little girl didn't follow, she took a large group of people to dig wild vegetables.
The vegetables on the island grow well, with sufficient fertilizer and no water accumulation.
The same wild vegetables grow several circles bigger on the rice than elsewhere.
"Dig, dig out the soil, I want to take back two big bags, no, five sacks."
The little girl made others work, and she found that the soil was good.
The sailors shoveled down without saying a word.
They were the navy of Bohai Bay, and had never seen the little girl. Now they were ordered, and they were not annoyed at all.
What does it mean that Li Dongzhu's eldest disciple can be accepted as a disciple by Li Dongzhu?
Besides, the little girl also took a small shovel to dig, and she was definitely not bullying.
"Li Lang, after you go back, will you plant for two years and give it to the mountain people in remote areas?" Princess Yongmu asked suddenly while walking.
"Are you talking about Bohai, Southwest Barbarians and other places? Don't give them first, Luzhou, Guangzhou and other places, as well as Jiangnan East Road and Shannan Road."
Li Yi shook his head. He was not so philanthropic. Your place is not my Tang Dynasty.
The black soil in the Northeast is indeed good, but it has nothing to do with me now!
If you want to grow potatoes, Inner Mongolia is also good. You can dig out a lot of big potatoes from one acre of land, but you can't grow anything else.
The Yellow River is a few fields away, from Anbei Protectorate to Hedong Road, it's a big area, and the Turks are now withdrawing their troops and can't move out.
The local area is full of grass, and cattle, sheep and horses are grazing.
It's just right to move the army outward to resist the Turks' southward advance, and then grow potatoes.
Don't use the Yellow River as a natural barrier for defense, take the initiative to go out, and the cavalry gallops, and fight if you don't obey.
If you grow wheat, you can raid in and burn it, and then play guerrilla warfare.
You grow potatoes and burn one for me? I let you step on the potato vines as you like, see how many you can step on?
There are ridges in the potato field, run back and forth, and the cavalry horseshoes don't break you.
What? You bring a hoe to dig? How many sacks can you dig?
"Hehehe~~~" Li Yi thought and smiled foolishly.
Xiaolan and Princess Yongmu looked at each other and understood each other's meaning: Li Lang must have thought of another trick.
"Big potatoes are not as delicious as small ones. Small ones are made into salt-baked and peeled and eaten. They are very fragrant, especially in a large iron pot on a clay stove."
Li Yi muttered, greedy, small potatoes are suitable for cooking in a large iron pot, with a lot of salt.
After cooking, the pot is dry, and there is a layer of salt frost on the potatoes.
It tastes better than the sauced potatoes stewed with boiled pork skin. The sauced ones are small pickles, and the salted ones are snacks.
The female leader turned from somewhere else. She had a bow in her hand and her face was a little black.
"Drilling wood to make fire? Yes, there is no flint here, so you can only drill wood.
Leave a few lighters and kerosene in glass bottles.
Remind me when you go back, and give them to the various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, and go all the way to the villages to provide lighters."
Li Yi knew what the female leader had done at a glance. She must be able to drill wood to make fire if she can be a leader.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which is far away, just in Chang'an, many people used to drill wood to make fire, so less than half of the people in Chang'an cooked at home.
If you want to cook, you can't keep fire at home, so you have to borrow fire from the alley.
The 108 alleys in Chang'an are not just designated places.
There are night watchmen in each alley, and they leave fire in the alley.
If the people want to cook, they don't keep fire themselves, so they get up early to borrow.
If the fire in the alley goes out, many people will help to drill wood to make fire.
It's not possible outside the city. Once the fire is out, you can only drill it yourself.
Li Yi knew that in his previous era, drilling wood to make fire was just a game, but for the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was a part of life.
