Chapter 1846 Just Waiting for the Reward to Return to Its Roots
Chapter 1828 Just waiting for the reward to return to its roots (second update)
The people from Lijiazhuangzi took Yulin Feiqi to carry the rubber sheets, and the seeds were not in a hurry.
The rubber sheet can no longer be exposed to the sun, it will continue to oxidize, and Li Yi will put more things in it.
"Two locomotives run with empty carriages, add more carriages, and transport rubber first."
Li Yi ordered that other things be put on the back burner.
Rubber needs to be kept in a dry and cool environment. The navy sacrifices its life for it and must make good use of it.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes brought back in the car were all covered with buds, some had changed color and looked like they were about to rot.
Others were in smaller quantities, and apparently the Navy knew that the seeds had been brought back by the cruisers, and more were grown in a year than they could fill the ship.
What's more, it is not easy to collect seeds locally, especially small seeds. It is impossible for the indigenous people to leave several large warehouses.
"They probably exchanged the rubber with local people for fish and salt. They fished and boiled the sea salt.
When others saw that there was enough food, they gave up part of their work and joined them in tapping rubber.
I guess while they were waiting, they built a lot more wooden houses and learned the local language. "
Li Yi looked at things and analyzed them. The navy promised to be very hardworking and pave the way for future visits.
"After the court meeting is over, ask them to take their things home and have a good rest. They should not stop having babies."
Yao Chong said with a smile that the soldiers who had families were probably more anxious than anyone else after going to sea for a long time.
Yin Sizhen took over the words: "If you are not married, you can be a good wife, and you can find someone from a rich family. It turns out that they make more money, so they probably save it."
…
Things were being carried one after another, and the large group of people returned to Zhuangzi.
A group of soldiers from Haizhou are waiting anxiously. Many of them live in Dengzhou and other places, and the locals work in the navy.
They wrote a letter and asked the inn to help deliver it home. They could not go home directly and would make arrangements after going to Chang'an.
"When we went to sea, my daughter could just stand holding on to the wall. She would probably call her dad when she got back. I went to Chang'an to see what was good and bought some to take back."
A sailor was sorting out the goods and talking to the people around him.
"I want to pull a few feet, no, a few feet of good cloth for my wife to make beautiful clothes." The man next to me was homesick.
They are not allowed to take anything with them when they go to sea. If they fancy someone else's gem, they can bring another one with them, but that won't work.
They can only buy it in Chang'an. They know there will be rewards and use the reward money to buy it.
When military pay went out, the court sent it to their homes, but they couldn't get it.
In the past, military pay was millet. I ate part of it myself and sold the rest for daily necessities.
Nowadays, meals are not included in the military salary. The military salary is issued with exchange coupons, including the fish caught, and additional distribution is sent to the family.
In the past few years, the family has built a new house. Those who are married have built the house bigger and stronger, while those who are not married have built their future houses first.
Basically, there is no separation of homes. Even if you need to build a separate suite, once the house is built, the yard will be one.
If the two houses are separated, building a fence or building a high wall in the courtyard between the two houses is basically a contradiction.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to build a warehouse for your home if you have the money to build the wall?
"My three children are all studying in school. I want to buy them a dictionary. I heard there is a Cihai dictionary. How much does it cost?"
"I haven't finished studying Cihai yet. I heard someone said that I need to study for another two years. What is being produced now is a thick dictionary, for others to use first."
"Ask the price, the reward is enough, buy it, the child can't be delayed."
"Look for Li Dongzhu, Li Jia Zhuangzi is responsible for the seal, and I will give you a capital."
"If you don't look for it, if you look for it, proprietor Li won't ask for money. He can give me a set directly."
As everyone was chatting, how many of them knew how much of the reward they had received this time?
"Do you think Boss Li will be satisfied with the rubber block we brought back? It looks a lot dark to me."
Liu Tingguang was not working, he and Ruan Jin were drinking.
People from the local government wanted to visit, but they refused. They didn't see His Majesty and saw you first. There are also people from Yulin Feiqi and Lijiazhuangzi. Are you sure you have enough heads?
So the state capital sent food and wine to express help from local officials.
We got together with the officials who came over and had large pieces of beef in sauce, cut into slices and dipped in garlic sauce to eat.
The wine is rice wine, no wine.
Since the advent of wine in the Tang Dynasty, rich people have to drink it with every meal, a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of wine.
When cooking rice wine, there are all kinds of things in it. Drinking wine and eating pancakes rolled with green onions is not a problem.
Therefore, the earliest use of wine to accompany meals was in the Tang Dynasty.
Ruan Jin grabbed the cucumber and punched it in the sauce bowl: "Can the black one be used? It will turn black after just putting it in. Is there any way to avoid it?"
"Yeah!" Liu Tingguang felt much more at ease.
He asked again: "The reward for returning should be worth the entire military salary during the time at sea, right?
I listened to the brothers talking last night, thinking about getting rewards and buying things to take home.
Looking at it now, there are probably more people talking about it, although it should not be mentioned as working for the court. "
"You want this? Don't worry! Brothers have become rich, it doesn't matter how much things are worth. Let's go out and come back alive, people are the most precious."
Ruan Jin smiled. He, the Yulin Flying Cavalry, knew the situation best.
He never worried about salary issues, he only cared about how to improve his abilities and successfully complete tasks.
"Brother Liu, the court is rich, His Majesty is rich, and Mr. Li has even more money.
The food and salary thing determines whether the Tang Dynasty is poor or rich. The current Tang Dynasty pays more attention to people.
Now that we have the experience of going to the far sea, Boss Li is willing to give us benefits and train more people in the future. "
Ruan Jin gave Liu Tingguang another reassurance, taking a bite of cucumber and chewing it.
"Oh! Oops! Tell your brothers quickly, don't tell us that we threw things away and took risks."
Liu Tingguang was relieved on one side, but anxious on the other side.
"Can the people in Lijiazhuang also listen to you? Yu Linfei will report truthfully when he returns.
Your Majesty asked me, is it possible for me to lie? Or intentionally left out a part?
The people from Lijiazhuangzi went back and told proprietor Li... I am very satisfied with my current life. "
Ruan Jin firmly refused. He came back alive despite the storm and died in Chang'an. What an injustice!
"Alas!" Liu Tingguang sighed; "Next time I go to sea, I won't dare to take risks. I'm afraid when I think back, and I can't bear to throw things away. It would really kill my brother, and I won't be able to live either."
"Eat food and drink, don't be afraid, it's over, it's over. When you go to Chang'an, you'll be beaten once at most, but you won't be beaten to the point of disability."
Ruan Jin comforted Liu Tingguang, and actually comforted himself.
He quickly took a sip of wine to calm down his shock, and then ate a slice of beef with soy sauce: "It's not as delicious as Zhuangzi's."
In the afternoon, much earlier than usual, two trains rushed over one after the other. They were empty, and there were three empty spots for supplying coal and water on the way.
When I came here this time, when I was replenishing in Luoyang, the people with the telegraph machine got on the bus. When relays were needed on the way, someone got off. They were responsible for communicating with Chang'an in Haizhou.
"Ruan Jin, are you okay? Do you have anything to report to His Majesty? I'm here to help you."
The man from Yu Lin Feiqi who brought the telegraph machine stood in front of Ruan Jin with a smile.
"Chen Ran, did you bring the pigeons?" Ruan Jin thought about what the other party was going to do.
besides!
