Chapter 2488 Libra 1 Trade Talk

Three days later, three long wooden docks were built on the island, and the islanders who could come nearby stood on the docks to bid farewell to the yacht.

They received hundreds of tons of cooked dried fish and ten tons of refined salt.

All exchanges with outsiders were ultimately for the purpose of transforming them into food. . .

The people from the Tang Dynasty came the most directly, and the natives became Tang people, waiting for the Tang people behind to come and learn the language and writing of the Tang Dynasty.

After saying goodbye, the islanders began to work hard to plant, catch cats, and look forward to the cattle being sent over.

"It's too heavy, more than ten tons of things, I want to put it there, but I'm worried, it's too fuel-consuming to carry it."

Li Yi was distressed and happy, so much ambergris, wholesale!

The people on the yacht had already sorted it out by category, color and size.

In the past, the entire Tang Dynasty, the imperial palace did not receive these since Li Yuan, and it was good to get a hundred kilograms a year, not all ambergris were that big.

At that time, it was hard to get some, and they were all made into incense. Use it yourself or give it to others.

One pound of this thing is ground into powder, mixed with other things, and lit together to smoke.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, some sea dwellers will find that the local government will deduct a little, but you dare not take more because you don’t know which of your colleagues wants to replace you.

Li Yi is worried about the current situation. Take it for a turn, it sinks!

"Dock it on the land next to it, bury it, and take it away when you come back."

Li Yi wants to hide it, anyway, there are few people here.

Free up space on the yacht, and you may not encounter anything along the way.

"Li Lang, you sink it in the water with a net. This thing is not afraid of seawater, and others can't find it even if they want to."

At the critical moment, Princess Yongmu suggested that we throw it into the sea.

"Good idea." Li Yi thought it was feasible, and the drone flew out to observe the surroundings to see if anyone saw it.

Then find a place where sonar detection is most obvious and put down the things, including the more than 400 kilograms of ambergris before.

He knew that there were a lot of ambergris before, but no one cared.

Floating to the shore in the sea, it looks like a worthless white coral block, black and brown porous stone.

Even if at that time, something floated over the sea water, the kind with many holes and white, people who were swimming and playing would not first think that it was ambergris.

A few days later, the yacht arrived at the entrance of the Red Sea, the Strait of Mandeb.

The drone reported: 'We found coffee trees and khat trees. Do you want to exchange? '

"Prepare for exchange." Li Yi ordered.

Looking at the picture, a group of people were active. They planted coffee, and they also planted other things, while khat trees grew naturally.

The location of the strait was suitable for large ships to dock and tie ropes, and the yacht slowly approached.

The white-clothed Arabs on the shore held the tools in their hands, looking at this large ship they had never seen with vigilance and curiosity.

The Yulin flying cavalry jumped onto the shore, bang bang bang bang chiseled the piles, and then took the ropes from the yacht and tied them up.

After putting up the gangplank, Li Yi and his group got off the boat, and the people behind carried things to exchange with the other party.

The white-clothed Arabs wanted everything, silk, oriental spices, porcelain, copper coins, and tea.

However, Li Yi did not take down any of these, there were no copper coins on the boat, and he did not need them.

There are other things, and we will exchange them when we get to Egypt.

Li Yi is now exchanging the resin of the dragon blood tree on the Socotra Island of the Tang Dynasty. It is called blood clotting, a Chinese medicine, and it becomes a dye when diluted with water.

It is not only available on the island, but not where we are stopping now.

When we return, Li Yi will go to Socotra Island again. When he comes back, he will change his name and let Li Longji and others give it to him.

According to historical situations, the natives are easy to get along with and can get along with anyone.

In fact, the Indians are also easy to get along with. When they were colonized, they were very obedient.

As long as there are no bad guys to incite, people in East Asia and Southeast Asia are good.

The local white-robed Arabs know blood clotting, and they use it as a dye, not knowing that it is a medicine.

Li Yi does not want to teach the white-robed Arabs medicine. If they don’t understand, then don’t understand! Anyway, it’s fine to exchange.

Li Yi speaks fluent Arabic, which he learned after arriving in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji knows more than ten foreign languages. He calculates this and that all day long, and he can still find time to learn foreign languages.

Li Yi must learn all the languages ​​he comes into contact with, otherwise he can’t teach his apprentices.

The white-robed Arabs understood, Tang people! I thought they were monsters, such a big ship, it didn't look like what humans should have.

The two sides exchanged and bargained, the other side had coffee seeds, coffee beans, the kind that can be planted.

Li Yi wanted to dig coffee trees, the seeds need to be planted, it takes a long time, and he can continue to plant them himself after several years.

There is no need to exchange the carter trees, they grow naturally, the Yulin flying cavalry went to dig them, the white-robed Arabs didn't feel bad, it's just grass, if you want it, just take it!

When it came to exchanging coffee beans, the Arabs didn't give it for free, they actually took out a scale.

It was designed very crudely, this thing was always used in some places when Li Yi was there, and it was used as a scale.

Li Yi looked at his own blood, then looked at the other side's coffee beans, and shook his head vigorously, what a joke? One-to-one exchange?

Your coffee beans are more valuable than blood? Uh... In theory, the price of drinking coffee and blood is about the same.

Blood was also 70 to 80 yuan per kilogram at that time, and so was coffee beans per kilogram. It was different in pharmacies and coffee shops, too expensive.

Li Yi returned to the yacht and came out with a scale and weights.

He fiddled with it, putting a pound of weight on one end and coffee beans on the other.

After putting them down, UU read books wwｗ.uukａnｓhu.net He took fifty one-jin weights and put them on one side of the coffee beans, and took up the one-jin weight on this side, and let the other party put the coffee beans.

This proves that his scale is of good quality and can weigh a hundred jin.

The bargaining white-robed Arabs focused their attention on the scale and weights. This thing is good!

Not only is it big, but there are many large and small weights.

"How do I exchange this?" the other party asked Li Yi.

"No." Li Yi refused bluntly. Exchange the scale with me? Do you know what the accuracy of my scale is?

The other party was obviously unhappy and took the weights down from the scale.

Li Yi looked at it and didn't feel bad. If he exchanged the scale made by Zhuangzi, he would never allow the other party to touch the weights.

The other party looked at him and took down thirty weights.

Li Yi frowned and put back twenty-five.

The other party took down twenty, and Li Yi put back fifteen.

The other party took down ten, and Li Yi put back five.

The other party wanted to take more, Li Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, can't reduce it anymore, thirty-six to one, if you want to change, change it.

The other party thought about it and raised a finger, the last stubbornness and persistence.

Li Yi nodded, took down a weight himself, okay, thirty-five to one, give you face.

The bargainer smiled, the white-robed Arabs began to pack coffee beans, Li Yi went to get a scale and weighed a pound.

The other party put thirty-five pounds of coffee beans on the scale on this side and one pound of blood on the other side.

Li Yi observed the color of the coffee beans, and didn't want the unripe ones, he had to take them back to plant.

He would plant them on the island later, just in time to help grow the seedlings during the journey.

After forty exchanges, the white-robed Arabs stopped exchanging, it was enough, and they still had to keep it for themselves.

Then they changed to coffee trees.
