Chapter 2448: Merchants Have Different National Systems

The place that Li Yi was thinking about, guarding the key position of the Strait of Malacca, was called Saludu in the Tang Dynasty.

There were people living there, and they were farming and fishing.

There was no teaching, the place was theirs, and their living conditions were OK.

They lived mostly in the plains by the sea and in the east, and there were relatively few people in the hilly areas, but some people hunted there.

In addition, they lived by exchanging things. There were ships passing through the Strait of Malacca, and it was not easy to stay in other places.

Especially when coming to the Tang Dynasty, it felt like Singapore was the last supply point for the remaining sea route.

In general, merchants would go ashore here if they needed fresh water.

The local residents did not understand that the water in the river could be sold for money, and they led others to fetch water.

Then they would see what others had, and the two sides would exchange.

Now many locals gather together and grill fish in the morning.

It is more difficult for them to catch fish by themselves. They don’t use nets, but wooden spears, take a small boat to the sea, and stab fish when they see them.

They don’t go to places farther away, and the things they exchange are mostly ironware and ceramic pipes.

They collect pepper, prickly ash, cinnamon and other things for others.

They don't know the specific price, anyway, according to what they pay and get, it's good.

"You should dry salt. I shouldn't teach you, but other people can see the salt fields in our Tang Dynasty, and they will eventually learn it."

Facing the locals, Jia Tong, the leader of the Tang Dynasty's 40 sea ships and a steam engine ship, said and gestured.

He can be a leader not only because he is a battalion commander of the Yulin Flying Cavalry, but also because of his foreign language ability.

Before he came out, he learned more than nine foreign languages ​​from the foreign merchants in Chang'an and Luoyang.

When he came here, he kept changing languages ​​to communicate with the other party, and finally reached a consensus on some words.

The fish was caught by the fleet. After coming here, they were first replenished with fresh water and had a nice bath. The two sides have been communicating and getting along for three days.

He wants to teach the other party to dry salt and liberate productivity, and not to cook it in pots.

At the same time, he gave the other party a lot of farm tools, including hoes and picks, which are not the same thing.

The hoe is mainly used for clearing grass, and the hoe is mainly used for digging and digging soil.

The front of the hoe is more wide and flat, while the hoe is long and flat.

The pickaxe is used to dig deeper soil, including broken stones.

When the locals got the sickle, many people hugged each other and cried. There was such a good thing.

The team led by Jia Tong was naturally treated well. The locals sang and danced for them and took out all the spices.

Jia Tong decided to end this voyage here and not move forward. There were others ahead.

He led the team ashore, drew maps, recorded species, and made specimens to take back.

If they continue to go elsewhere, there will be more things, enough for them to collect, and good wood will be cut.

When they return, they will pass by the places they knew before and exchange food and wood with the other party.

In this way, the fleet will be full of things, and here, they will help build it to become the base of the Tang Dynasty fleet.

The other party ate grilled fish and gestured in the same way, asking about the specific situation, how can they get a lot of salt at once? What about sea water?

After eating grilled fish for breakfast, Jia Tong took some people and some local people to the seaside to build salt fields, which required piling up one piece after another.

Make temporary salt raking tools and teach local people how to operate.

Others went into the local people's rice fields to help weed, roll up their trouser legs, take off their shoes and go in, and pull out weeds when they find them, such as barnyard grass.

The locals plant rice by throwing seedlings, not transplanting them, and it feels good after going in. There are scratches on the calves one after another, and when they touch the water, oops!

The locals felt the kindness of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but other people never help with the work.

The leader looked at Jia Tong and gestured and asked: "You are different from others, why do you help us?"

Jia Tong was stunned at first, then smiled and told the other party: "Those people are making money, can they make money by helping you? How should we exchange or how should we exchange.

We represent the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our words and deeds outside reflect the style of a country.

Don't bully those who are weaker than us, don't be afraid of those who are stronger than us, this is the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty?" The leader repeated.

"Datang!" Jia Tong pointed to the northeast.

"Datang!" The leader followed and pointed, with a hopeful look in his eyes.

At noon, they ate again. The locals were smiling. In recent days, they have been eating three meals a day, eating until they are full at night, and then going to bed.

But today they will not grill or stew fish. Jia Tong and his brothers are tired of it.

They made fried fish, braised fish, dry pot fish, salt-baked prawns and crabs, and cooked fried rice with the rice left by the locals.

Pick wild vegetables to make fish soup, and make some pickles by the way.

The leader's eyes lit up and stared, not only watching the cooking process, but also watching the big iron pot.

Iron smelting is now known in many places in the world.

Including Africa, Africans know how to smelt iron ore.

Understanding does not mean having it, Datang knows better.

When Li Yi did not tell how to get coal and point out large iron mines, the iron oxen on the Datang Pujin Ferry Floating Bridge consumed nearly half of Datang's iron production that year.

How heavy can an iron ox be? This shows that the Tang Dynasty did not have much iron.

If the Turks and the Western Turks were not there, the Tang Dynasty would not have been willing to build such a floating bridge if it needed fast transportation capabilities.

After Li Yi appeared, it was changed to concrete, UU Reading www.uukanshu． net I'm not short of iron, it's just useless.

If you change it to iron, that iron can only be produced in two or three days. If you don’t believe it, just look at the Datang Railway.

Iron smelting in Africa actually does not involve melting the iron, but removing other things from the iron ore, leaving the iron that cannot be melted, and then forging it.

Because the temperature was not enough, they used charcoal as fuel.

Their skills in making charcoal are not good enough, and they don't know how to build a kiln. They just make a few charcoal out of thin air and then bury them in the sand.

Thanks to Africa, there is enough good wood. In another place, consuming firewood for charcoal can make people cry.

Nowadays, everyone in Salu has some iron tools, which are very precious and are made into knives.

There is such a big iron pot. How many knives can be made from this iron pot?

"I've given you so many iron tools, and I'll give you this pot too. Don't think about smashing them and replacing them with knives. The steel mouth is different."

Jia Tong, who was cooking, noticed that the other party was looking at him unkindly and told him not to smash the pot.

"You are the 'King' in the Tang Dynasty, right? You have a lot of iron, and the tool you gave us is this..."

The leader asked using his vocabulary, which can also be translated as noble, and he gestured to the diameter of the large iron pot in awe of Jia Tong.

Jia Tong Wan'er: "King? Me? I do have such a big iron pot at home, as well as other pots, in sets. Let me tell you..."

He told the other party about life in the Tang Dynasty and about Li Jia Zhuangzi.

The leader was so frightened that he ate dozens of dishes in one meal?

You don’t work when the sun rises, but you rest when the sun sets?
