A large flock of birds flew around and rested on the railings of the ship.
The deck of the yacht was covered with spots of bird droppings. It was a sunny day.
Li Yi looked through the glass window and saw the bird droppings on the glass and the seabirds flapping their wings to look at him.
"Look, there are more birds, so there is more bird droppings. Bird droppings are fertilizer. There is a lot of fertilizer on this island, although it is not the most phosphate fertilizer."
Li Yi did not use the loudspeaker to chase away the seabirds. The birds scattered and flew back. It was annoying to listen to them.
He took the opportunity to give a lecture. Anyway, the deck was like that. He would wash it when he left.
"The locals must have a good harvest of food." An official who came along analyzed and came to a conclusion.
"There isn't enough food for the birds to eat." Li Yi didn't give him any face at all.
"Seabirds eat grains and wheat?" The official obviously did not understand.
"If there is, they will eat. If there is none, they will eat fish and shrimp. They prefer to eat steamed buns or bread. "
Li Yi said as he went to look for bread, soft bread, for everyone to eat as snacks.
"Master, it turns out that seabirds like to eat cooked food. I thought they only eat raw food."
The little girl followed Li Yi. She guessed what her master was going to do.
The Winged Knights and the craftsman did not move. The others followed Li Yi outside. Each of them had a piece of bread in their hands and looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi took two pieces of bread. He tore one of them into small pieces and scattered it on the deck.
Whoosh. The birds were startled and flew away.
Not long after, a bird landed. It tilted its head and looked at the bread crumbs. It jumped forward, hesitated, and opened its mouth to eat.
After the first bite, it became addicted and continued to eat.
The other seabirds saw that it was edible and quickly ate it.
More seabirds joined in. A moment later, the bread crumbs were all eaten.
Li Yi tore a small piece of bread, pinched it between his thumb and forefinger, and held it in the air.
The seabirds that had eaten the bread hesitated again. Some stood on the deck and watched, while others flew up and circled in the air.
Perhaps because the bread was really delicious, some seabirds finally couldn't resist the temptation and flew towards Li Yi. When they got close to Li Yi, they suddenly flew higher.
This happened a few times. One of the seabirds probably wanted to play a trick of surprise. It suddenly sped up, but it didn't fly too high. Whoosh … it was almost there. It hadn't even opened its beak just now.
It doesn't matter. It adjusts its direction again and rushes for the bread.
This time, its speed was not as fast, and it was even more accurate. It bit onto the bread, flapped its wings, and flew far away. During the flight, the bread entered its stomach.
When Li Yi raised the second piece of bread, the other seabirds understood.
They all scrambled to fly over, and the fastest ones got it.
There was no need for Li Yi to remind them. The others who had taken the bread followed suit. They grabbed a piece and held it up.
The seabirds flew back and forth, eating to their heart's content. This was the first time they had eaten something like this. After living for so long, why didn't they know that such food existed before?
"Master, they're too stupid. If you want to catch them, you can catch several of them in one net." The little girl was happily feeding them.
"Yes, sometimes benefits can mean traps. Therefore, the people are not willing to accept all the things that are offered.
From a personal point of view, it's very difficult to gain the trust of others. It must be protected.
From a country's point of view, it's called credibility. The actions of the officials have a great impact on the imperial court.
As a teacher and a doctor, they face the same problem. Many times, they represent the same group. "
Li Yi followed the topic and explained to his eldest disciple. It was difficult to gain some support, but it was very easy to destroy it.
The little girl grabbed another piece of bread and threw it into the sky. A seabird with fast reaction speed directly caught it in the air.
"Master, what if some of the doctors harm people?" She grabbed a few pieces of bread and threw them up together.
"If they catch them, we'll deal with them. The doctors of the Tang dynasty still have integrity and faith.
It's not to the point where they'll gang up and fight for a high income. This is very good.
For example, if a doctor harms people and is killed in the end.
At this time, it's a test of conscience and interests. Doctors with a conscience will warn themselves not to do the same wrong thing.
As for doctors who have done wrong but have not been harmed, they will be afraid and will collectively strike. "
Li Yi continued to teach. It involved human nature. It was the same not only for doctors, but also for all professions.
No matter how smart the little girl was, she still did not understand. "Why?"
"Without the education of morality, traditional culture, and the rules of each profession, the result of blindly pursuing the development of money.
It should be laughing at the broken but not the broken. People's hard work is the most precious. In the end, it became laughing at the poor but not at the prostitutes.
Civilization itself is actually a belief. Whoever destroys this belief will be a sinner for all eternity. "
Li Yi, who had done many bad things in the past, now spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
He was actually a little embarrassed, but he pushed all the blame to the past.
What else could he do? At least now he could control the propaganda and education of the entire Tang dynasty. He, who had done bad things, also had a pure heart.
The little girl did not know what kind of person her master was. Now, she just worshipped him.
"Master, I know. Just give me your bread! I don't have mine. "
The little girl opened her hands. Some seabirds even flew over to take a look.
The seabirds all remembered her. She gave a lot, and her little hand grabbed a handful.
Li Yi gave half of the bread to his apprentice. "Feed them slowly. I'll get two more."
"Thank you, Master. Why don't I catch a few and roast them?"
The little girl took the bread. When she looked at the seabirds, they turned into oily and fragrant roasted seabirds.
"No, the kindness that has just been established can't be destroyed." Li Yi firmly refused.
A quarter of an hour, only a quarter of an hour, all the roasted bread left on the ship was fed to the birds.
Princess Yongmu was regretful. "Li Lang, do they eat the rice cakes?"
"They all eat the braised pork." Li Yi looked at Princess Yongmu.
"Forget it." When Princess Yongmu heard that the bad birds would compete with her for food, she immediately gave up the idea of continuing to feed the birds.
"Let's take a look at the price. When the time comes …"
Li Yi began to think about serious matters. Feeding the birds for a while was enough.
"Are you going to ask them to accept the exchange coupons?" Princess Yongmu suddenly thought of the key problem.
"Exchange coupons are not easy to circulate. The rain, waves, and humidity of the island make it difficult to preserve paper money.
I need to adjust the formula, metal, and then use a stamping machine to press and electroplate it. It's a little difficult.
The benefits are unique. Others can't make it. The key is to slow down oxidation. "
Li Yi ruled out paper money and thought of coins. He needed to improve the technology and electroplate.
In fact, chemical plating was also possible. For example, mirrors.
However! No matter which one it was, he needed to calculate the cost.
At that time, he had very few dime coins, and the more he made them, the smaller they became.
There was also the original fifty dime coin. The materials were replaced because the value of the coin was higher than the face value.
Just like copper coins, when the price of the same weight of copper was much higher than the face value of the copper, the people would not spend it and melt it in private.
