"Ka ka ka … Squeak squeak squeak …"
The machinery started to operate, and the equipment Li Yi exchanged for came into play again.
The Native Americans, like the people from other places, watched with wide eyes to see how the magical houses were built.
"Dongzhu, they don't keep any rough wood." The craftsman frowned as he watched the newly cut wood being broken into boards.
He went to the local "homes" to take a look. The wood was piled up diagonally to form a cone with bundles tied on top.
Some of them were wrapped in fur, while others were wrapped in leaves.
When it rained, the rainwater would flow down the side of the building, and every house had a drainage ditch dug next to it.
There was no reserve of rough wood, so it was a waste of time.
"Make do with it first. Put charcoal fire in the wooden house. If there are cracks, use nails to repair the boards. There's no need to use mortise and tenon construction."
Li Yi didn't have any good ideas. If he wanted to find good wood, he had to go into the rainforest. There was Su wood, or Brazilian mahogany.
It could be used as dye, but it was protected by a group of people who didn't care about whether it would destroy a species.
The hunters of the Tang dynasty knew when not to go into the mountains, and the woodcutters knew how to raise a forest.
Some people only knew how to destroy and plunder.
"Sigh!" Li Yi sighed. "This stronghold is very important. It's related to the mental state of our people when they come over."
Li Yi was referring to the long voyage from Hawaii to here. Sailboats and steam boats couldn't move as fast as yachts.
When they finally reached the shore, it was the most tiring time. Both the mind and body were exhausted.
If there was a warm "home", it would be good for morale.
Therefore, Li Yi wanted to build a three-story building with big wood. He didn't expect people to live in it. He just wanted to put a flagpole on it and raise the flag of the Tang dynasty.
The strong natives helped to pull the cut wood and lift it onto the wooden platform.
Fifteen people from the Winged Knights put on flat glasses, breathing tubes, and flippers. They pulled a rubber boat to the sea to fish for conches.
They treated it as training. As long as the sea wasn't too deep, they could see more than ten meters below the surface when the sun shone on it.
When they fished up the conches, they looked happy and … wanted to eat them.
"Li Lang, should I change into my swimsuit and go fishing?" Princess Yongmu looked eager to give it a try.
"No way." Li Yi didn't even think about it. What if I lose you?
You can just swim in the swimming pool on the yacht. Otherwise, when you return to Zhuangzi, you can go into the water as you wish and have a group of people to protect you.
"I'll bring an oxygen tank down and change to scuba." Princess Yongmu thought of a good idea.
"There are a lot of reefs underwater, it's easy to get scratched." Li Yi still refused. A scratch on the reefs in the sea would hurt for a few days.
"How do you eat a conch?" Princess Yongmu couldn't get into the water, so she started to study the conch.
"Do it in the simplest way." Li Yi had a mysterious look on his face.
"Boiling and roasting?" Princess Yongmu instantly understood. Other than eating it raw, there were only these two simple methods.
"Steaming the big ones and dipping them in sauce." Li Yi picked up a big conch. "Transportation is convenient, people in the mountainous areas can also try it."
"You can only eat the dry ones. Fresh ones are too expensive, people in the mountainous areas won't eat them. In fact, dried ones like Haihong, clams, and shrimps are already good. I couldn't eat them when I was young. "
Princess Yongmu recalled her childhood and was unhappy.
"Yes!" Li Yi's eyes were a little empty. He thought of the destroyed Tianshu.
He couldn't stop it at that time. Even if he could, he wouldn't. He had to destroy it.
That was something that praised Wu Zetian and the beliefs of the Zhou Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was already unstable, leaving a symbol that belittled the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty …
During the war, they lost to the Tubo, lost to the Later Turks, lost to the White Abbasid Caliphate, lost to the Khitans …
It was bound to be used by people with ulterior motives, saying what happened in the Zhou Dynasty and what happened in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yi guessed that it was because of this that the Wei Family had such thoughts. Since Wu Zetian could do it, why couldn't they?
They poisoned Li Xian and got dealt with.
Princess Taiping also thought that she could do it. The Tianshu was still standing.
"When we go back, let's choose a place and erect a 300-zhang-tall Tianshu. We can put the heroes who sacrificed for the country together. It's just a matter of money."
Li Yi felt that it was fine to destroy one. He could just build another one and spend money! What's the big deal?
Look at how they bullied the foreigners around them. It's just money!
"Is it a waste of money and manpower?" Princess Yongmu raised her eyebrows when she thought of the project.
"Those who work will be paid. It's a waste of money. Money will circulate in the hands of the people.
The Imperial Court will spend part of their money on this. They will use finance to support the beliefs.
When the time comes, we can raise the flag of the Tang Dynasty every day and write a national anthem. The people must know how to sing it. "
Li Yi liked to watch the raising of the national flag. No matter where it was, even if a primary school raised the national flag on Monday, he would still stand and wait for it to finish.
Tiananmen Square was the best. There were honor guards. The only drawback was that it was crowded.
"Yes, yes!" Princess Yongmu smiled sweetly. Yes, it's just a matter of spending money. The Imperial Court has enough money.
"Let's find people from other places to compete. Archery, polo, football, badminton, swimming, rowing, running, javelin throwing …"
Li Yi introduced the competition. It was not called the Olympic Games. It was called the Tang Dynasty Games.
They would take a mirror from Mount Taibai to start a fire and pass the torch.
Princess Yongmu narrowed her eyes. "Yes, football has already made a lot of money. The Beijing Governor's football team is very hardworking. Some prefectures even want to let them participate.
When the time comes, we can find people from other countries to play. I believe that the Tang Dynasty's football team is the best. If they dare to lose the game … they will be beheaded. "
Li Yi: "…"
"That's not necessary, right?" Li Yi felt that victory and defeat should not be linked to life.
"Last summer, the left back of Liyang County took the money of a gambler and deliberately let a few balls go. His leg was broken and he is now limping.
The gambler was taken away by King Song. I don't know where he went. King Song wanted to make a fortune from the gambler. If he didn't pay, he would beat him to death. "
Princess Yongmu played it down. His leg was broken and he was gone because he participated in football.
Li Yi swallowed his saliva and moved his leg. "That's a good idea. Let's go and take a look at Qing Dai."
As he spoke, he walked towards the house of the child who was bitten by the viper yesterday. When he walked, his leg was a little unnatural.
The little lass was observing the patient. She personally changed the medicine for the child. The area around the child's leg that was bitten was swollen.
The cold compress couldn't be applied continuously. Frostbite should have occurred. Fortunately, the swelling wasn't too big.
The child didn't get out of bed. He ate by himself. The little lass handled the matter for him. The little boy was obviously a little shy.
The way he looked at the little lass was different. This beautiful girl who was about the same age as him treated him well. Was it because …
"Wah wah wah wah …" The little boy didn't care about the people around him. He stared at the little lass with anticipation in his eyes.
The little lass listened and thought for a while. "Don't think about it. Why should you marry me? I will be burdened to death by you. You are so stupid. "
"Last time, when the family who knew how to look for gold fell sick, did they want to look for our nurse?"
Li Yi didn't understand the little boy's words, but he understood what his eldest disciple meant.
Thus, he thought of a person. It was the younger brother of a cadaver that he used as practice. He had taken a fancy to the nurse.
