Chapter 2508: It Is Difficult to Breed Giant Salamanders
Wang Guangyuan arranged for people to work, Li Yi didn't care, the yacht continued to move forward.
In less than two days, the yacht was anchored in the artificial lake.
Li Longji and others came to greet him, the food was ready, and they had to eat hot pot early in the morning.
What was the time to welcome dumplings and send noodles or send dumplings and welcome noodles, there was no dispute at this moment.
"Hurry, Xiao Yi is back, hurry up and unload the goods, hurry up, this is the most important."
Bi Gou shouted, asking people to unload gold and ambergris on the yacht.
As a result, everyone stood there clapping, welcoming...
As for unloading... hehe... unloading whose? How to unload?
"Why did you come back so soon? `I finally waited for you to be away and have some peace and quiet, what are you doing back?"
Li Yi's yacht arrived at Luoyang Zhuangzi, and did not hit other people's boats due to drunk driving.
Bi Gou stood on the shore and yelled at Li Yi who had just got off the boat, looking angry.
"Who is that monkey-looking guy?" Li Yi looked at Bi Gou with a gangster look, his shoulders tilted.
Bi Gou stepped forward and raised his hand.
"What are you doing? I just asked, it turned out to be Old Bi." Li Yi felt guilty and dodged backwards.
Bi Gou gently placed his hand on Li Yi's shoulder: "Little Yi, you are right. I am old and my eyes are blurry. I thought it was a bandit."
Li Yi believed it, no matter whether others believed it or not, he believed it anyway: "I am the same. I was drifting on the sea and had nightmares as soon as I closed my eyes. When I woke up from the dream, I felt that the things in the dream were not real.
For example, people should not talk about money. I woke up from a dream and thought that some people were shameless and had to talk about money."
Li Yi fought back. How much gold and ambergris did I bring back? Don't you want some spices? It smells good when it burns.
Bi Gou sniffed: "There is no fragrance!"
"How can there be fragrance without some fragrance? Slow-release volatile fragrances are all placed in the toilet. Let me go down, why are you blocking me?"
Li Yi walked out. I have already returned home, are you looking for trouble?
It was only the eighth month of the lunar calendar at this time, and the seventh month in between.
The gold nuggets that were picked up were unloaded first and distributed to the people who found the gold. They chose not to refine it and kept it as a souvenir.
The rest were refined by Zhuangzi and then made into gold bars for storage and used to issue exchange vouchers.
Ambergris of various colors and sizes were moved to the ground, and everyone, including Li Longji, smiled.
With so many ambergris, it seemed that there was not enough to give to the people on the island.
The islanders helped to collect more ambergris, but the yacht could not fit it, so they brought back other frankincense and myrrh.
When the fleet returned to the Tang Dynasty, there would be more ambergris and other spices.
"Developing technology, going to sea is really profitable."
Yao Chong looked at the classified and preserved ambergris and sighed. Glass mirrors, matches, and tea leaves could be exchanged for a lot of spices and gold.
The Sinhalese believed in Buddhism and could get gold. Matches that were worthless in the Tang Dynasty were extraordinary when they ran outside.
Spices can be used to make incense and enjoy, and they are also medicine.
Ambergris is much better than musk, which can be obtained by extracting incense from living musk deer.
Lijiazhuangzi and the imperial court are breeding and breeding, and also raising tigers, leopards and other animals to make medicine.
Musk tiger bone paste is very useful. Tigers are not easy to catch, and it is difficult for the people to catch tigers.
Send troops to capture them, bring them back and raise them, and solve the tiger problem for the people.
Look at Xiaoyi's medical book, dog bones can replace tiger bones under certain circumstances, plus the Tang Dynasty's mole rats, raise them all, and use bones as medicine.
"People's medicine is cheaper, and all spices can be used as medicine."
Lu Huaishen picked up a small piece of white ambergris and weighed it. He read medical books when he had nothing to do.
The star anise, pepper and other things in it can be used as seasonings and cure diseases.
With the extraction process, the dosage needs to be adjusted for better results.
In Luoyang's pharmacy, a plaster for removing abscesses used to cost four coins, but now it costs one coin, and the more you buy, the better the discount.
Of course, if you don't mind the distance and don't want to spend money, you can come to Lijiazhuangzi to get it. If the patient comes, you are afraid that you will sell it.
Lijiazhuang has too much money and can't spend it, so he should do charity.
Bi Gou picked up one and sniffed it, and finally smelled a little bit of odor. Some ambergris had been soaked in the sea for a short time.
"Next year, we will issue Tang currency and tell the foreign merchants to use gold and silver to buy things, and reduce taxes by 5%. Use rice and wheat to offset taxes of equal value."
Bi Gou threw away the ambergris in his hand with disdain, and ran to the water to wash his hands.
He wanted to promote the issuance of Tang paper money, and he couldn't always use the exchange coupons of Lijiazhuang. The country is the country.
Using rice and wheat to offset taxes, I believe someone is willing to come here with gold, silver and grain to trade.
The tax is low, and grain can be sold for money and offset taxes.
And if Tang wants spices, it will send its own fleet to exchange them, without using foreign merchants, who ask for too high a price.
"Xiao Yi, how do you use the ivory you brought back?" Song Jing saw someone moving ivory downstairs.
"Hmm..." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "As medicine, not carving things. Ivory is generally used as medicine, all from the leftovers when carving. No handicrafts, just as medicine.
In this way, less ivory is used. Find the elephant cemetery and get ivory from there to avoid being killed to extinction.
There are also rhinos. There are not many in the Tang Dynasty. Rhino horns are medicinal materials. We should raise rhinos.
Saw off the rhino horns, it can grow back, just like human nails. Don't wait until one day, everyone will not recognize rhinos after seeing them."
Li Yi wants to protect elephants and rhinos. Rhinos have been killed to extinction in their own country.
It takes a little effort to control rhinos, but the goal can be achieved in the end. Saw off the horns, artificially protect and assist in reproduction.
There are also pangolins. Pangolins are also Chinese medicine, but unfortunately, they cannot be artificially bred and will die after being raised.
"Let's catch some pangolins and raise them, and raise termites at the same time. If the pangolins die, they will be used as medicine. There are a lot of them now, and there are enough experimental subjects."
Li Yi thought about it. Pangolins have to be caught for medicine anyway, so it's better to raise them.
Try more. What if you master the method? Then the source problem will be solved.
There is no need for too much medicinal use, as long as it is not eaten as meat. After death, it can be made into medicine and can be preserved for a long time and placed in the medicine shop.
He felt that he couldn't raise them well at that time. One reason was the cost, the investment was too high, and the other was the technical reason. God knows why pangolins are so delicate.
The other reason was that he didn't want to raise them for breeding at all, and used the name of breeding to get pangolins over, making it legal and easy to sell.
The Tang Dynasty didn't have any good technology. Li Yi could find information, but it was very little and basically useless.
Let the people of the Tang Dynasty figure it out for themselves! There were smart people in the Tang Dynasty, and people were studying hybridization, including going to various places to get seeds. Sinong Temple had already cultivated many things before he crossed over.
"Hard and soft, pangolins are hard to raise?" Zhang Jiuling knew pangolins, which eat ants.
"Just like artificially growing blood-red rivet mushrooms, I can grow ginseng, but it can't grow. I can raise giant salamanders, but not pangolins."
Li Yi nodded and shook his head. He looked up all the information. If others couldn't raise it, he had no choice.
Giant salamanders are cheap when they are raised. You can eat them at will, but wild ones are not good.
"Is the giant salamander delicious?" Princess Yongmu was greedy. Fish, braised.
