Chapter 2490: Pursuit of the Gifted Land Civilization

The current canal is not as narrow and shallow as the past. As long as their own boats can pass through, it will be fine.

Li Yi was worried that the yacht could not pass through, so he used a drone to check first, and then the yacht slowly moved forward to check the depth of the water.

The drone was replaced, just one, with a simple anti-submarine function, to check the water, so that some information about the water depth can be collected.

The yacht needs to always sail around this continent of Africa, close to the shore, and has high requirements for underwater conditions.

As soon as the yacht arrived, the locals immediately responded. Officials came with the army. It was the first time they saw a ship from the Tang Dynasty, and it was so big.

Li Yi first gave gifts to the other party in an official capacity on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

Glass mirrors, makeup boxes, perfumes, silk, porcelain, spices, all given...

The other party gave back a lot of gold-made things, and gems. Li Yi was not very satisfied with some of the gems he could get. It would be better if they were all gold.

Egypt does not lack gold, they have a lot of reserves.

After the official meeting was completed, the trade began. Li Yi took out frankincense and exchanged it for gold with the other party, giving a preferential price of one to one.

Paper, porcelain, glassware, more small mirrors, colored ink, quill pens, "treasure swords", red and green tea leaves, brocade...

Just exchange for gold, nothing else.

The other party was very happy, especially frankincense, one-to-one exchange for gold, making a profit.

"Ouch! I can't do it anymore, I have to take medicine."

Bi Gou, who was watching dinner on the big screen, couldn't stand it. He had thought that a glass of beer for a glass of frankincense or myrrh was about the same.

Now I understand that this is a glass of beer for a glass of gold, calculated by volume.

Isn't beer just wheat! How much wheat can be used for a glass of beer? Equivalent to gold?

The person next to him brought an oxygen bag, here, breathe oxygen, it's hot at night.

"How should the tax be collected? Thirty percent? No." Bi Gou considered the tax.

As if by telepathy, Li Yi watched the exchange process and suddenly said to the camera: "So much gold fell into the sea due to strong winds and waves.

We paid the cost but didn't get it back, so we should ask for tax reduction.

There are so many ambergris in the sea that we didn't find when we went back."

"I need to be hospitalized, hospitalized!" Bi Gou covered his heart with his hands, looking like he was dying.

"Hehehe" Li Longji laughed out loud, one to watch Bi Gou's performance, and the other because overseas trade really makes money.

"If we take these gold back, we can issue currency. No wonder Xiao Yi teaches others how to plant trees on the island."

Su Yan understood that frankincense can be exchanged for beer at a one-to-one ratio, and it will be compensated for gold at a one-to-one ratio in another place.

The more frankincense on the island, the richer the Tang Dynasty.

After the gold is taken back, Li Yi can't make it into jewelry to wear, because Li Yi doesn't like to wear jewelry.

Only when wearing official uniforms to avoid wind, he puts something to press it down, and puts medicinal materials in the goldfish bag.

"Why can't credit currency be issued?"

Song Jing also knew Li Yi's purpose of exchanging gold, and gold cannot be eaten.

Through study, he understood the meaning of credit currency.

Just like the 10 million strings of Lijiazhuang exchange vouchers that Princess Jincheng got, there was no collateral for the 10 million strings.

But everyone admits that the exchange voucher is worth 10 million strings, and Lijiazhuang's credit is the best in the world, not to mention technology, in fact, technology is money.

Then Tubo accepted it and sold the things to Princess Jincheng, and the price of those things in the Tang Dynasty was higher.

Lijiazhuang recovered the currency through operation and generated profits at the same time.

Such a good operation mode is only used in Tubo, and it is a one-time operation, and it has never been used in other places.

The issuance of exchange vouchers is still based on collateral first. Sometimes the collateral appreciates, and the exchange voucher also appreciates in theory! You can go to Lijiazhuang to exchange things at will.

"When people in the Tang Dynasty want to eat meat and can eat it at will, credit currency can be issued."

Li Longji also read books to understand the situation.

The drones over there are back, and they can pass through, and yachts can pass through.

Li Yi wanted to talk to the other party, pay for it himself, and let the other party organize people to open up the canal.

Later he stopped again, he couldn't say it, because after he finished talking, the other party might use the canal to manipulate it, such as pushing soil and rocks in.

The more you care, the more the other party will take advantage of it.

Li Yi explained this situation and analysis to the country.

Beyond the canal is the Mediterranean! The world over there is vast.

When the people of the Tang Dynasty fell asleep, the yacht was exchanged and entered the canal.

In the middle of the night, the sunrise of the Tang Dynasty appeared, very beautiful, and the morning glow was red all over the sky.

Everyone took measures after seeing it, it was going to rain.

The yacht continued to sail and entered the Mediterranean.

The officials who were qualified to attend the court and lived in Lijiazhuangzi had breakfast under the big screen, which was required by Li Longji.

Let you see it, don't think you are so awesome.

When you go out, do you have so many calculations and arrangements? Brother Yi is not going out to play, he has been working hard to help the Tang Dynasty to get benefits.

The officials just watched, there is nothing to say, to understand the local situation, but now it is dark there, everyone is asleep.

When breakfast started on the yacht, Luoyang was having lunch.

Li Yi led his staff to the kitchen to make breakfast, beef, pork and green onion stuffed buns.

After steaming, they were fried in a flat pan instead of being made into pan-fried buns directly.

What is the difference between the two? Oil.

Pan-fried buns are just coated with a little oil and boiled in water.

Steaming and then frying the buns consumes a lot of oil.

Li Yi fried it with fish oil, and served it with eight-treasure porridge, pickled vegetables with shrimp oil, and fermented bean curd, garlic chili sauce, and shallot tofu.

This was overseas, and the times were different. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net It was not the aircraft carrier fleet of Li Yi's time.

The people in the village looked particularly relieved, and you still had the leisure to fry buns.

The yacht went along the coast, not to Greece and other places.

Stop after walking for a while, and the drone will remind you when it finds a crowded area.

Li Yi used to exchange things with others, including Tunisia at that time, and took more sea routes, but not Malta.

Li Yi looked at the map and the route, and remembered a game he had played, the Age of Navigation.

When he played it, the second generation was a red and white machine, and then it changed, and then it was a computer, buying and selling things and fighting.

At the same time, looking for "treasures", the key is when you are about to reach the Bering Strait from Europe, why is the wind direction so uncomfortable? And the fatigue of the sailors.

There is no way, so I have to modify and lock it through the hexadecimal database. Now it's OK, and you can run around the world.

Li Yi had the same feeling while eating the steamed buns. The buns were delicious. They were first steamed and then fried, and fried with fish oil. They were inedible when cold, but when hot, every bite was classic.

"Li Lang, I found that there are too many fish here. The local people must have a good life, right?"

Princess Yongmu, who came to the African continent for the first time, found that the seafood here was easy to catch and she could eat it whenever she wanted.

Li Yi scratched his head: "How can I explain this? Influenced by culture, they will be hardworking when they come to the Tang Dynasty. They are local, right?

Their farming is a little different from ours, that is, they dig a hole to bury the seeds and harvest them all the time.

You know cucumbers? We eat them once or twice a year, but they grow them once and eat them for several years.

If you had such land, what would you think?"

"I would grow rice. Rice has a long shelf life and can be transported to other places so that more people in the Tang Dynasty will not starve."

Princess Yongmu thought about it, raised her chest and gave such a response.
