The female leader was mesmerized by the scene that Li Yi had created. It was too beautiful.
She looked down at the 'clothes' on her body and then at Princess Yongmu's clothes.
"Go get two sets of clothes, one Sichuan brocade and one Su embroidery." Princess Yongmu understood. She had long wanted to get clothes for the other party.
What are you wearing? Two strings of shells on the top and one string of shells on the bottom. You're sitting so close to my Li Lang.
If it weren't for the hot weather, I would've put a cotton coat on you.
Xiao Lan quickly called the two Winged Knights to go back and get the clothes.
"When we go back, Wentian Lan Pavilion will release a new style of traditional foreign clothing, shell clothing." Li Yi thought of something.
"Shells are easy to find, but they can't be sold at a high price!" Princess Yongmu was afraid that people would imitate her. The clothes she sold had glass on them.
"We've been collecting shells along the way. We've been looking for shells that are not or are very rare in the waters around the Tang dynasty," Li Yi said as he picked up a bun.
The female leader came to her senses and ate first. It seemed that these people did not intend to leave so soon.
She went back to eat and asked Li Yi for a pair of chopsticks. She was working hard to learn.
Eating buns with chopsticks was not hot.
It was just two small sticks. How could she not know how to use them?
Li Yi saw that the female leader was learning how to use chopsticks, but she was not used to it. Suddenly, he said, "Sometimes, many skills that are seen as skills in the eyes of others are nothing in the eyes of the tribe."
"Are you talking about using chopsticks?" Princess Yongmu was smart.
"Yes, did anyone teach you how to use chopsticks?" Li Yi asked.
Princess Yongmu thought about it, then shook her head and nodded. "They taught me the rules of using chopsticks, but no one taught me how to use them. I should know how to do it myself. "
Li Yi nodded. "The people of the Tang dynasty are all like this. Children see adults using chopsticks and want to try it themselves. If adults don't teach, it's not easy to teach.
Children imitate themselves time and time again. It doesn't matter if they fail, adults don't worry.
Children along the Yellow River and Yangtze River can swim, but adults don't teach them.
Children on the grassland can ride horses and shoot arrows, but adults don't teach them.
This means that the environment is very important. If a civilization wants to grow, it must provide all kinds of environments. "
"We're the ones who provide and guide them?" Princess Yongmu sat up straight as she spoke, feeling a sense of sacred duty.
"Get someone else to guide us. Let's come up with an idea. As for the canal I wrote to you about, as long as the materials are delivered and the money is in place, it will be ready in half a month. The name should be … Kaiyuan New River. "
Li Yi explained the contents of the letter. He wanted to build a man-made canal at Sanmen Gorge.
Now that Sanmen Gorge is too dangerous, many ships capsize every year.
Li Qiwu, a member of the Zong Consortium's royal family, had specially built a river. First, he set fire to the rocks and then poured vinegar on them to crush them.
The canal had been repaired for three months and was now open for navigation. Although it required a tracker, it was much safer than the original place.
It was spring. Li Yi regretted it when he heard Princess Yongmu say that the yacht had gone in. He should have thought about it when he came out.
How much wood and vinegar did it take to burn stones and pour vinegar?
Most importantly, it was a waste of time. A large group of people kept burning, pouring, chiseling, and digging.
Now they were counting on the pigeons to bring the letter back. With enough manpower and gunpowder, they could blast the canal out in half a month.
It just so happened that the entire Yellow River had thawed, and it was not time for the water transport yet. Other merchant ships could pass through, reducing the risk and danger faced by the trackers.
The ropes used by the trackers were provided by the trackers themselves. They did not want the ropes provided by others.
If the boat capsized during the towing process, who would look for them to work in the future? They could also be taken away, and the ropes would be gone.
Usually, the person on the boat being towed would beat the drum, and the trackers would get on the boat and observe the situation from the bow. They would beat the drum and shout the call sign.
The person towing the boat would also shout the call sign, and both parties would communicate with each other through the call sign. The position of the boat and the strength of the person towing the boat.
The people on the boat would watch anxiously and be afraid that something would happen. Usually, when the boat reached a dangerous location, the people on the boat would pay extra.
The person beating the drum would tell them to pay more, and everyone would fight for it.
If something happened to one of the trackers or they had to leave due to other problems, they would need to add more people. The new addition must be approved by everyone.
Li Yi showed Princess Yongmu the location of the Sanmen Gorge and drew a line for the new man-made canal.
Princess Yongmu took a look. "Can the plank roads be built with cement?"
"Places that are not made of wood can be built. Concrete and wood cannot be built.
Those poor people who can build plank roads are the treasures of our Chinese civilization.
If it was at a certain time, such people would earn at least 500 RMB a day.
In order to increase their benefits, there are still many plank roads to be built in the Tang dynasty. Craftsmen are the foundation. "
Li Yi was very emotional. The technical jobs in the Tang dynasty were not worth much.
How many carpenters in another space-time could use ancient equipment to quickly build plank roads?
It would be impossible to hire a classical balcony without at least 2,000 to 3,000 RMB a day.
But they said it was dangerous and not easy. How could they accept wood so easily? Did they know how to bear the weight? Did they know how to share the burden?
That's right. It was not easy.
But why were the plank road workers not given the same treatment? They had to hang ropes and chisel the rock walls. Then, they had to insert the wood into the walls and make wedges and auxiliary frames …
Most importantly, they had to carve their names on the wood. Other places were fine, but the place where they worked was damaged …
Of course, there were usually no problems. The government would repair it every year. They would not wait for something to happen.
"I have a way to deal with the rocks falling off the rock walls. When we go back, we will need glue. This time, we are going to look for rubber and refine it."
Li Yi mentioned another support for the plank road. The rock walls that were prone to falling off should be covered with a net and then covered with glue and cement.
There should be an extension of the net so that the rocks would not fall off. He had done this many times in the past, and it was quite effective.
"Li Lang, Li Lang, I'm back. Come, let's help them change." Xiao Lan jumped down from the kayak with her bag and ran over.
She was like Princess Yongmu. She had seen how awkward the female leader's clothes were and would rather not wear them.
She brought back four sets of clothes, two long ones and two short ones, the ones with the skirt on her thighs.
She also brought two pairs of new shoes that were about the same size for the female leader to wear. She did not want to dangle the shell all day long.
The female leader did not have time to eat the buns and quickly changed her clothes. She envied other people's clothes. They were beautiful!
She did not know how to make clothes at all.
Soon, the female leader in the long clothes appeared in front of everyone. Her hair was coiled up with a golden hairpin. The golden hairpin was made into a half-step rocker.
She also put on some light lipstick, eyelashes, a thin layer of powder on her face, a little blush, and a red dot between her eyebrows.
"Here, the whole makeup box is for you. There is a mirror inside. Look, look at yourself. Isn't it beautiful? Let me tell you, if you are close to the Tang dynasty, you can have anything. Only Li Lang is not for you. "
Xiao Lan tempted and warned, not caring if the other party could understand her.
The female leader knew that it was her the first time she looked in the mirror. Li Yi took a picture and soon the film was out.
"Come, change into a short one. Let your hair down at the back and put a hairpin on it. Put on an earring." Xiao Lan continued to work.
Not long after, a new female leader appeared in front of everyone.
Li Yi clicked again and the second picture appeared.
