"The distance of the next stop is relatively close. From that island, we can go to other islands." Li Yi was finally about to reach the edge of the archipelago.
The last stop was called Koslei Island. It was only numbered now.
All the islands were female leaders and maintained a matriarchal social model.
After leaving Koslei Island, they would go to Nauru.
According to the records, there were now people on Nauru and many birds. In fact, there were also many seabirds on other islands.
"Master, is there fresh water there?" The little girl now knew what was most needed for sailing, fresh water.
Li Yi only marked the reefs without fresh water and did not build houses on them.
"There is fresh water and there is a lot of natural fertilizer made from bird feces. In the future, we will occupy it and slowly dig it out." Li Yi introduced the island to his eldest disciple.
In the 1970s, the local per capita income was more than 800,000 yuan when converted to Li Yi's national currency. At that time, the monthly income of Li Yi's citizens …
In the 1980s to 9092, the per capita income was more than 10,000 US dollars.
In 1991 and 1992, the exchange rate between Li Yi's national currency and international currency was more than 5: 1.
It was equivalent to the local per capita income was more than 60,000 yuan in Li Yi's national currency.
At that time, Li Yi's citizens were more than 100 per month, and the good ones were more than 300.
An annual income of 3,000 yuan was considered a high income. 10,000 yuan was too little.
Unfortunately, selling ores was just spending without thinking about the future. In the later period, the GNP was only more than 100 million US dollars.
A country with a GNP of more than 100 million.
Life was not good. Li Yi decided to lead the local people to change their lives.
Now, they could change easily. The local people would not target the Tang dynasty for the money of other countries.
After more than half a day, the yacht arrived at Koslei Island in the afternoon. There was no bridge. There were small islands next to the main island.
There were people living on the island. Smoke rose in spirals.
When the yacht arrived, the people on the island ran out of their "houses" and looked at it from afar.
According to the previous operation, they first caught a net of fish as a gift.
"We are from the Tang dynasty. We are here to give you a gift."
Li Yi shouted with the loudspeaker on the yacht. Naturally, he used the local language.
The people on the island were dressed the same as the people on the previous island, and they looked the same as well.
Li Yi shouted a few times. The Winged Knights put on their swimming trunks and jumped into the water. They waded to the side of the fishing net, scooped up the fish, and threw it to the shore.
Some fish landed in the shallow water and ran away while wagging their tails.
When the people on the island saw this, they thought, How can they run away?
They ran over, picked up the fishes that had been knocked out, and continued to throw them ashore.
More and more people joined in. It would take a lot of effort to catch the good stuff by themselves.
A net of fish was finally brought ashore. The islanders smiled happily. Li Yi and the others who came down were very enthusiastic.
When Li Yi took out the refined salt, the islanders reacted in a similar manner as the islanders in front of him.
They took out the shells and put them on the ground, wanting to buy them.
They used shells as currency. Whoever had more shells would have more money.
For example, Li Yi used a fishing net to catch shells. After a few nets, Li Yi became the richest man.
Li Yi waved his hand in the common language and said, "This is for you. You don't want the shells. You keep them. We'll come over …"
Familiar words were spoken. They were used to it.
The islanders smiled brighter. They believed that the person who could give them a lot of fish and salt couldn't be lying.
It was still the female leader. After she learned that the people of the Tang dynasty would be eating with them, she asked people to cook and burn wood.
Li Yi took over the cooking. He didn't need the locals to cook because it didn't taste good.
Today's dish was hairtail. Li Yi specially caught it. He was tired of eating other fish.
Braised hairtail, seabird eggs, wild vegetable soup, parsley, seaweed, pickled vegetables, and rice balls.
The islanders didn't know how to use chopsticks, so they tried to let them use their hands. Braised swordfish rice balls were dipped in the soup and caught to eat the fish.
The soup was to be drunk from a bowl. There was no need to use a spoon.
The female leader deliberately took out a few "bowls" made of coral and gave them to Li Yi. Li Yi looked at the bowls in a daze.
After a while, he said to Princess Yongmu and others, "Remind me on the way back. We're going to fish for coral. We don't want the coral here. We want red coral."
"You don't want anything else?" The little girl looked up at her master.
"Yes. See where there are more corals on the way back. This place is good. When the tide recedes, there are a lot of corals."
Li Yi thought of coral and medicine, so he decided to take some back.
Princess Yongmu looked at the sea. "Coral is not easy to fish. It's expensive. Ordinary people can't get it. Anyone who has red coral will give it to the officials and dignitaries."
"It's not easy for others, but it's easy for us. Red coral is valuable. If we fish it up, we can increase the circulation of exchange coupons."
Li Yi had this plan. Not to mention the whole red coral, even a small piece was still valuable.
He planned to fish more. At that time, the food on the ship would be consumed a lot. He would use it to store the red coral.
"When the time comes, let's ask some rich people to take a look and let them know that the Li Family Zhuangzi has treasures.
Oh, it's okay if they don't see it. We know what we're doing.
Let's appraise it first and use the estimated price to print exchange coupons. In fact, the price can be inflated. "
Li Yi found the collateral to issue a lot of money. Red coral, of good quality, was called blood coral.
"I know. It's the gloomy wood in the Zhuangzi."
Xiao Lan understood. The gloomy wood was collected in large quantities before. Later, it was used to make a batch of musical instruments. The price suddenly changed.
The Li Family Zhuangzi didn't issue additional exchange coupons because of this. Otherwise, there would be more money.
"Yes, Xiao Lan is smart!" Li Yi praised.
Xiao Lan looked happy. In fact, she didn't have anything to be happy about. Who didn't know about the gloomy wood?
Princess Yongmu held a pair of chopsticks in each hand and dissected the hairtail on the plate. She tried to keep the fish intact and remove the bones.
After removing a piece, she stuffed it into the little girl's mouth: "When we go back, we have good seeds and money. The Tang dynasty will become prosperous."
"We have to keep all the seeds in the first year. We won't eat them. We'll eat the ones brought back by the fleet.
In the second year, the seeds from the first year can be planted in the best quality fields in the capital.
After that, we can distribute them to various places in the Tang dynasty. Sweet potatoes are easier to grow than potatoes. Although eating too much will make the stomach uncomfortable, we can make them into noodles. "
Li Yi liked the way sweet potatoes were planted. They could be cut and planted with seedlings.
Potatoes were not good. Potatoes could only grow sprouts. There were many sprouts on a potato. A piece of potato could be cut off from each sprout and planted together.
"I heard Li Lang mention it before. I'm waiting to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
As soon as Princess Yongmu mentioned roasted sweet potatoes, she suddenly felt that the hairtail in front of her didn't smell good.
The islanders didn't feel that way. They were eating happily and holding the hairtail with their hands.
The hairtail was an extreme luxury for them. They couldn't catch it and could only wait for the seawater to wash it to the beach.
If the hairtail was soaked for too long, it wouldn't be edible.
When they finally saw a large number of hairtail appear on the beach, they were not happy. Instead, they were scared.
Usually, when they encountered hairtail, there would be huge waves and the ground would shake.
