Chapter 2492 Gold Is Valuable, Diamonds Are Precious
Everyone in Zhuangzi who was watching the big screen stood up, as if standing up could help them see more clearly.
The people in the river shouted loudly from time to time, and after shouting they would definitely bring out gold.
Li Yi was almost crazy with joy. When did you pick up gold? Shouldn't you be shopping?
Although it is hard work to search for thousands of pounds, you will only get gold after blowing all the sand.
Where is the slightest bit of hard work now? Is it hard to bend over?
So without saying anything, something suddenly appeared in his hand and waded in the river.
The sound of 'beep beep...' was heard.
Li Guizang came over, squatted down and touched in the water, and then looked carefully: "Master, what are you holding? Where is the noise, where is the gold?"
"Right! Gold detector, I'll turn down the sensitivity."
Li Yi is annoyed by the noise, adjust it...
This time it won't beep continuously. If it beeps occasionally, gold is guaranteed.
He didn't bother to study why there was a lot of gold in the river, so he quickly collected more.
"Master, what I picked up was a diamond? It's hard to find it in the water."
The little girl Zhuo Zhuo shouted while holding something the size of an egg, like glass.
"Oh my God!" Li Yi was so happy that he almost fainted.
He looked at this clear river, which was more than 20 meters wide and less than one meter deep, and tried to check the information, but there was none.
Where did so many golden rivers in history go? To whom was the thing given?
"Take it, it's yours, just leave it there, no processing is required.
In addition, 90% of what everyone collected today will be handed over and 10% will be kept for yourself.
Go after dark and pay attention to safety. There are no people in the area now. Wild animals and insects may be poisonous.
Check to see if there is any danger in the water. If you are bitten, call me immediately. Here, take the detector and find a few more people to help you find it.
I will give you half of what I find, and I will give you a warning. "
Li Yi wanted to distribute the benefits and gave the detector to a craftsman.
He didn't look for it, but stood on the shore and looked.
The craftsman randomly ordered four people, and one of the four people turned around and ran to the yacht.
When he came back, he had a few extra nets and big spoons, and he distributed them among them.
When the detector beeps, go down with a big spoon, pick up the things, pour them into the net, and then drain them with water.
When other people look at it, why don’t you take them all? Go back and get it yourself.
They didn't have a detector, so craftsmen helped.
After nets of sand and mud were scooped up, as soon as the water passed, golden lumps of different sizes appeared, and occasionally there were diamonds of different sizes.
"No one, Xiao Yi said there is no one locally."
Song Jing, an 'upright' person, also trembled, trembling in front of Jin Zi.
"Get rich, get rich, and have the collateral to issue national currency."
Yao Chong muttered that when Lijiazhuangzi printed the exchange coupon, he wanted to get it, but it was a pity that he couldn't.
After that, he always wanted to issue Tang Dynasty banknotes and save collateral.
The dream can finally come true. Wherever gold is produced in Datang, it takes a lot of crushing of stones and a lot of sand to get a little bit.
As a result, we found an uninhabited river outside and there was gold everywhere.
"Oxygen, give me oxygen." Bi Gou looked pale.
"I want it too." Lu Huaishen sat down.
Bring the oxygen bags and let everyone inhale one first.
The nurses set up a table nearby, and each person was responsible for checking the pulse.
The farmers who were resting nearby rushed over one after another, and the officials stopped working. First, they wanted to see the excitement and how they bent down to pick up the gold.
When it was less than noon, it was dinner time in Luoyang.
Everyone rested for a while before eating and then came over to watch the screen.
When Li Yi and the others were preparing to have lunch, it was dark in Luoyang.
At Li Yi's strong request, everyone went to rest. They will tell them the harvest at dawn tomorrow.
The people on Li Yi's side eat rice, water-cooked rice, and pickles. They eat small bowls in a few mouthfuls. If they don't eat, they will stoop down after eating too much.
After searching for another two hours, Princess Yongmu twisted her waist and came ashore: "My back is sore, you go look for it!"
"Actually, it's not much money." Xiaolan followed.
She found that except for the largest gold nugget, the other gold she picked up did not make money from the items sold by Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion.
How much gold can you pick up by yourself? When the Tang army arrives, tons of it will be shipped back.
Princess Yongmu thumped her waist: "Will it depreciate if there is too much gold?"
"Yes, it will naturally depreciate, but it will not increase in value. Gold is used throughout the world. As long as there is civilization, the value of gold will be recognized.
Places that use shells as currency do not yet understand the value of gold, and have never even seen it.
Big forces like Tianzhu and Dashi think that gold can be used to buy things.
Along the way, the local countries had exchanges with Datang and used gold to buy things in Datang. "
Li Yi first acknowledged the problem that anything will depreciate if there is too much of it, and then emphasized the rarity of gold and its recognition by others.
The more technology develops, the more valuable gold becomes, and electronic products require gold.
Unless one day humans can obtain gold from the middle of the earth, then gold will depreciate.
"Where's the diamond?" Princess Yongmu was skeptical about the value of diamonds, not as good as jade.
“Processed diamonds with many facets are very expensive and very beautiful, similar to those made from glass.
Diamond is harder than glass and cannot be processed by others. Glass can now be fired in some places.
They burned utensils and colored glaze, but could not make flat glass, and their glass blowing skills were not good, let alone float glass. UU Reading www. uukanshhu.net
At that time, if we say that diamonds are valuable and are willing to charge a high price, others will go looking for diamonds.
We process it and then sell it. Others will first recognize the value of the Tang Dynasty before accepting the value of diamonds. "
Li Yi knew that diamonds were not valuable now, and they were only good for cutting glass.
It was difficult to process, and diamond powder was needed to grind it, and multiple facets could not be ground out.
Diamond powder was easy to obtain, and diamonds could be found and smashed with a hammer.
Thinking of this, Li Yi pursed his lips: "In fact, I want to spread the method of making glass so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can use it as windows.
But glass can be used to make mirrors and trade with foreign countries for money and goods.
The people will continue to use paper to paste windows for a period of time in the future, and the money and goods exchanged for glass will enrich the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty. "
"If the people choose between glass windows and being able to eat enough and eat meat every day, they will definitely choose the latter. "
Princess Yongmu supported Li Yi's decision and did not give him glass technology.
It would be fine if we could even use glass to exchange for other people's food!
With more food, we can raise livestock, kill them for meat, or use cows, horses, donkeys and mules to work.
Even if we feed chickens, we can have chicken and eggs to eat.
"My little mother is right. What we are doing now is for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live a good life.
The elderly are well cared for, the young are well educated, and in cold winters, people live in buildings and use heating.
Train many doctors and build a hospital in every county. Li Lang, do you think we can live like this? "
Xiao Lan fantasizes about the life of the people in the future of the Tang Dynasty. In her opinion, it is already the best.
Li Yi smiled: "Xiao Lan, your requirements are too low. Do you believe that at a certain time, everyone will have a... thing with the same functions as a small robot, holding it in your hand, and video communication?"
"Ah? How much does each one cost?" Xiao Lan was surprised and looked at the small robot.
The small robot said cutely: "A few hundred kilograms of rice."
