"Indians eat curry, so do the southwest barbarians." Li Yi was once again thinking about exports.
Others did not have it, but he could exchange it for many things.
There were many other spices in India. They were not worth much locally, but they were very expensive in the Tang dynasty.
The southwest barbarians referred to a large area, including Thailand. After the Tang dynasty, it was called Siam.
Could a catty of chili powder be exchanged for a hundred catties of various spices? Pepper, yes, especially pepper.
They would have to wait another year for Qiongzhou to bear fruit. How much did India earn in this year?
No, the Indians did not earn much. All the money was pocketed by the barbarian merchants.
When Princess Yongmu heard Li Yi mention India, she continued to pinch the ice shell on the frozen autumn pear beside her. "Are there many good things in India?"
"Yes, I have to admit that the climate there is good, and the river is not bad. It's just that … dead people are thrown into the river."
Li Yi suddenly trembled. The floating corpses in the Ganges River were frightening.
He was not afraid of corpses, but of hygiene.
When the Tang dynasty fought, they also knew to dispose of the enemy's corpses. They could not be left out in the open, or there would be a plague.
Every day, when the people saw a floating corpse in the river, they would fish it out and report it to the officials to find out how it died. Then, they would bury it.
Corpses found in the wilderness were dealt with in the same way.
The laws of the Tang dynasty stipulated that corpses must be buried and the cause of death determined. Those who died of natural causes, such as the elderly, were buried on the spot.
Therefore, there were many missing people. Even if they were murdered, such as those who were poisoned to death, the average person would not be able to tell and would just treat it as a normal death.
"Water burial? I heard that there are many wild burials in Tubo. "Princess Yongmu had become eager to learn after meeting Li Yi.
"Yes, wild burials. There's no other way. Tubo is the same as the frozen soil in winter. Moreover, after being frozen for many years, the frozen soil is very thick. It's not easy for ordinary people to dig."
Li Yi analyzed from a technical point of view. There were no sky burials now, only wild burials.
Because the relevant teachings had not been passed down, there was no such thing.
All the places that could be dug were planted. Generally, they were planted with barley.
Where they could not dig, they had no choice but to leave the corpses there.
"Oh!" Princess Yongmu replied and asked, "Tubo is cold, can we grow cotton?"
"Yes, now that the climate is warmer, we can grow cotton in some low-altitude areas, but how can cotton be compared to wheat?"
Li Yi knew where to grow cotton in Tubo. It was in the southeast.
If they could not grow food, Tubo would not have the ability to wage war against the Tang dynasty.
"Li Lang, will Princess Jincheng's aunt believe in Tubo's teachings?" Princess Yongmu suddenly thought of something.
"I wasn't sure before, but now I don't think so. She trusts the Tang dynasty more.
As long as a country was strong enough, the people would believe whatever they advertised.
Therefore, we can't blindly advertise it in the newspapers, including planting and breeding. Different regions will treat it differently. "
Li Yi said as he got up to get another basin of cold water and changed the three frozen autumn pears from the previous basin into the new basin.
Xiao Lan was also there. She did not speak and was trying to record Li Yi's words.
In the past, when Confucius spoke, there were people who recorded it. In addition to the real records, there were also people who organized and fabricated it, and it was all written in the Analects of Confucius.
Confucius spoke about politics, economics, humanities, military, and other aspects.
It was indeed good, and many aspects could be applied by later generations.
However, the prime minister of the Tang dynasty and Li Longji were more willing to record Li Yi's words.
Li Yi's words were like suggestions, and they were very practical.
It was very likely that Li Yi's words inadvertently had a way to benefit the people.
It was not important whether he thought about it or not. Everyone would look at it and analyze it. When they found out which one was useful, they would quickly ask him.
It was like the technology of artificial impregnation of livestock. If when the technology of hatching chicks came out, they asked, "What can you do with horses?" Wouldn't they know in advance?
Li Yi himself did not know. Li Longji sent people to set up a separate department to look at Li Yi's words.
Li Longji felt that it was a hundred years late after the inoculation of the stallion, and he was distressed about the time.
He wished that he could lock Li Yi in a small dark room and do nothing but think for him. Think of all the things and technologies that he should think of.
"Dongzhu, can I come in? I think the thing you told me last time can be used. "Guo Ziyi's voice came from the door.
Li Yi looked up. "Did you bring your own frozen autumn pears? They are already soaked. I can eat them in a while, but there are only three. "
"I don't want to eat." Guo Ziyi was helpless.
"Please come in." Li Yi was relieved that he did not have to give his pears to Guo Ziyi.
Princess Yongmu covered her mouth and laughed. She felt that Li Yi was very interesting. Officer Guo had a serious matter to ask, but Li Yi was actually worried that there were not enough pears.
Guo Ziyi entered the 'house'. "Dongzhu, I think the method of locking people in a small dark room can work."
"Small dark room? Ah! Actually, it's not very useful. "Li Yi admitted that he had said that before.
"How is it not useful? Think about it, if a person stays in a place for a few days, and no one talks to him, and the room is dark, ordinary people would not be able to bear it. "
Guo Ziyi analyzed and agreed with this method.
"Then you have not met any web novelists. As long as they have food and toilet facilities, you can lock them up for a month, and when they are released, they will have a complete outline of their novel."
Li Yi shook his head. You don't understand. Some people are not afraid of a small dark room.
"What?" Guo Ziyi did not understand.
"I mean, for example, if you lock me up for a month, there will be food. Black bread will do. If you do not want me to be malnourished, roujiamo would be better. Then you will give me water and toilet facilities.
I don't need any light in there, so I will just lie down, sit down and think about what other technologies I can bring out.
After a month of confinement, I estimate that I can bring out at least 20 technologies, and a lot of internal and external planning. "
Li Yi put it in another way. He was not afraid.
"Really?" Guo Ziyi stared into Li Yi's eyes.
"Really!" Li Yi was certain.
"I will tell the others to lock you up." Guo Ziyi said and was about to leave.
"Stop." Princess Yongmu said. "If you lock Li Lang up for a month, what should I do?"
Guo Ziyi slapped his forehead. Yes, I forgot. If I can't lock Li Yi up for a month, who will Her Majesty talk to?
Li Yi gestured for Guo Ziyi to sit down. "The people of Buddhism don't care about being locked up in a small dark room.
Our Winged Knights teach tactics and command. Once you are locked up, you can simulate all kinds of battles in your mind.
When you go back, tell the brothers and give it a try. Lock him up for three days as part of the training.
Ziyi, the brothers of the Winged Knights want to thank you. You are the one who provided this idea. "
Li Yi was very happy. Look, he found another way to cultivate willpower. It was all thanks to Guo Ziyi. He was indeed a capable person.
Guo Ziyi was speechless.
He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up. "Dongzhu, are you going to tell them that it was my idea?"
"Yes, you are a good person. The Tang dynasty needs people like you. The more, the better." Li Yi praised again.
"Didn't you suggest it?" Guo Ziyi asked.
"I don't want to take credit. It was you." Li Yi waved his hand.
"This is called credit? They will hate me. "Guo Ziyi looked at Li Yi with those eyes. Do you really not understand, or are you playing dumb?
