On the night of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the team arrived at Haizhou in Henan Province and set up camp outside Qushan County.
No one disturbed the place, but the local officials were disturbed.
With so many Winged Knights coming, who wouldn't be afraid?
The provincial governor and the county magistrate started to think that they were here to arrest them.
Li Yi ate hotpot and didn't leave. A few miles away was the sea and there was a port.
A natural port for small boats.
There weren't many people and it was a small fishing village.
For small fishing boats, the port in Haizhou wasn't good. The water was too deep and they needed to find a shallow place. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pull the boat ashore.
Li Yi liked deep ports where aircraft carriers, large cruise ships, and even submarines could be parked.
Get a dock, build a large boat, and ski directly into the water.
The Winged Knights team ran to the beach and unloaded.
Medicinal herbs, kerosene lamps, glass mirrors, steel knives, soap, floral water, thermos bottles, black bean sauce, rock sugar, silk and silk clothes …
These were all things to be exchanged with the local natives.
According to records, the natives warmly welcomed the outsiders and even provided help.
The white-skinned people who were helped found the "treasure" and then …
Li Yi didn't want to obtain resources by killing people. In his eyes and heart, there was no room for any people, ethnic group, or race who were friendly to him.
He planned to use a sincere heart to deceive, no, to help others.
"The natives' lives are too hard. Some places don't have winter, and some places are hot in the summer.
Just like the people who live in Guangzhou, oh, Qiongzhou.
They don't have silk, satin, or paper. "
Li Yi introduced the situation to everyone, including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and other places.
Some places were cold in winter, but other places were very hot.
After Li Yi finished speaking, he thought of many things and then realized that he only needed to go to Mexico.
Peanuts, tomatoes, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, pumpkins, sunflowers, different kinds of peppers, Mexico had it all.
At most, he would go to Peru. He didn't need anything else for the time being.
No, rubber, Brazil.
If he went directly from Peru to Brazil … he would die in the jungle.
Li Yi had never wished for a Panama Canal so much, or even an Ecuador Canal.
After going to Mexico, they could go directly to Brazil from the canal. There was no need to go around the Strait of Magellan.
"Will the locals starve?" Princess Yongmu did not consider silk first. She felt that if there was no food to eat, especially if she could not eat red braised pork, life would be too difficult.
"There's no shortage of food. The local crop yields are high. You just need to throw down some seeds and they'll grow on their own.
There were also many fruits. As long as one was diligent, one would not starve to death.
Let's go to a few more places so that we can be the vanguard for the teams behind us. Then … we'll go back the way we came. "
Li Yi originally planned to go to Africa and cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Considering the long distance and the bad wind direction, Africa could not provide much help, so the idea was shelved.
On the way, he had to pass by some small islands and use the plants on the islands to set up camp.
If there were people on the island, everything could be discussed if they were given benefits.
His yacht was advanced and didn't need any extra supplies, unlike other Tang dynasty ships.
"Oh!" Princess Yongmu was not worried about how to return. She was only worried that there would be no meat to eat.
The officials from the state government and the county came and asked for an audience outside.
They found out that Li Yi was here and wanted to go out to sea. Good, going out to sea was good. It was good that he did not need to catch anyone.
"Bring me pen and ink." Li Yi did not want to see anyone. He did not have the energy to pretend to be polite.
After the paper was laid out, Li Yi began to draw a map. It was a small simplified map. He circled a location and marked it with the words "coal mine".
There were instructions below that he needed to dig a mine, not an open-pit mine.
He drew the Tangzhuang coal mine. He did not draw the Hanqiao coal mine further away in Shandong.
One was enough. Mining in a mine was tiring, but it was better than not having coal.
In the future, when the steam engine train came, there would be coal. It was just right. He asked the locals to dig it first.
After he finished drawing, someone sent it out. Li Yi continued to eat hotpot.
Princess Yongmu was not excited or starry-eyed. She was used to it.
The only thing that could make her eyes sparkle was the red braised pork. A lot of red braised pork.
The Provincial Governor of Haizhou did not see Li Yi. Instead, he received the map. He felt as if he had received a treasure. He hurriedly brought people to look for a location at night with lanterns.
There was coal. With coal, they could cook more seafood and dry it. They could then send it to other places, such as the capital office.
…
After a night, the sun rose above the sea level.
Everyone stood by the sea, deep in the water.
Li Yi was observing to see where the yacht should be. He did not want to damage it. He did not know how to repair it.
After looking around, he asked people to tie rocks with ropes and throw them down. It was not necessary to reach the bottom. It was enough for the yacht to float.
After selecting it, Li Yi turned his head and asked Princess Yongmu, who had an expectant look, "Wen Tian, do you think we should burn some incense first?"
"Can we not burn incense?" Princess Yongmu was anxious.
"You can. Alright! Look at me, wah wah wah wah wah … steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck … Humans are born by their mothers, demons are demons … Come out, pika, pika. "
Whoosh. A yacht more than 60 meters long appeared in front of everyone. This yacht was not called a pickup.
"It's fully automatic. It can be turned into a semi-manual or purely manual operation. Move things in. There's a lot of space inside."
Li Yi pulled the dumbfounded Princess Yongmu forward. Someone had already carefully set up a gangplank.
The others followed with numb expressions. They were shocked. The yacht was beautiful enough.
After entering the yacht, Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan's eyes widened.
"It's more beautiful than the palace." Xiao Lan was shocked by the interior of the yacht.
"It's a waste of space. Look over there, a big room for one person. But we don't.
And this living room, there's no need. It's so high above. It should be a mezzanine.
This is wine, right? There's no wine at all. It's called an open kitchen.
There's a theater and a place for singing and entertainment on the lower floor. There's a swimming pool and an overlooking platform on the upper floor.
Such a big yacht could accommodate 15 people in the past. The other 40 or so were the service staff.
Let's add some Winged Knights. Put the sofa aside and pile up the goods. See if there's anything else locally. Buy it as long as it's not overloaded. "
Li Yi introduced the items and functions of the yacht. He used to want to own one. Now that he had one, he felt that it was better to put the goods in.
The swimming pool could be filled with water and then covered with a thatch.
"Li Lang, is this our yacht?" Princess Yongmu touched and touched it.
She was born noble and had seen the advanced equipment in the hospital.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to take a step. The yacht was so luxurious.
"It's a small yacht. If there's a chance in the future, I'll get you a big cruise ship." Li Yi found that he was not surprised.
He used to want to own something but didn't dare to. Now that he had it, he felt that it was not as good as the Li Family Zhuangzi.
What yacht or cruise ship was more valuable than the Li Family Zhuangzi? The Li Family Zhuangzi printed money.
In the past, he wanted to show off how much money he had. Now, he wanted to pursue how many people of the Tang dynasty he could feed.
