Everyone in the team tasted the peanuts. The local natives gave all the peanuts to Li Yi.
Li Yi's team helped the natives make a lot of dried salted fish, which was more than ten times more than the peanuts.
There were also dried shrimps, dried scallops, wolf skin, smoked wolf meat …
The Winged Knights went into the jungle and helped to clean up a large number of wild animals. They also collected plant seeds and seedlings in the jungle.
They built a lot of big houses for the natives, and cut wood.
Li Yi made hanging peanuts, boiled peanuts, salted peanuts, fried peanuts, and boiled peanuts with shells.
The boiled peanuts were divided into five spices and sauces. He also squeezed some peanut oil and added some sugar to make peanut crisps.
Princess Yongmu tasted a little of each. She didn't want to eat anymore.
She knew that delicious things should be taken back as seeds, and the people in the team were even more so.
"Eat, there are a lot more at the next place. If you eat too much peanuts, you can grind them to make peanut juice.
There are a lot of saltpeter in the desert next to us. When there are more ships in the Tang dynasty, we can purify the saltpeter locally and ship it back.
The cherry seedlings are ready. When we reach a suitable place, we can talk to the natives and ask them to help us plant them.
The cost of our out-of-season cherries is too high. We can plant them here. When the technology is good, we can ship them to the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi deliberately brought the big cherries from the Tang dynasty. He also planted them in Zhuangzi. They were big and sweet.
This was Chile. The translated name of the big cherries in Chile almost made people fight.
Many people actually knew what the name meant. It was the same thing. The reason why they were stubborn was that they didn't want to admit their mistakes.
There were no cherries in the local area. Different groups of Indians lived there.
They were still in the stage of matriarchal society. They were relatively friendly to outsiders and were willing to trade and contact.
Of course, they wouldn't agree if they wanted to take over the land and order them to work.
"Oh, then I'll eat more. Besides saltpeter, what good things are there in this place?"
When Princess Yongmu heard that she could add on, she pinched another grain between her fingers.
"Copper ores, lots and lots of copper ores. As long as we can mine a part of them, the price of copper in the Tang dynasty will be reduced by half.
There's also silver and gold. Silver shouldn't be too valuable, but gold is rare in the world. "
Li Yi checked the information casually. Even if he didn't, he still knew the local copper reserves and the high level of production.
"In the future, we don't expect to exchange them for money. Our industry needs them."
Princess Yongmu was very thoughtful. She didn't see copper as money now.
Copper seals, copper pipes, copper faucets, copper hotpot …
"Let the locals pick it. We'll trade with them."
Li Yi said as he grabbed a handful of fried peanuts, rubbed them with his hands, and ate them without the skin.
At noon, when he saw her, he went to cast a net and brought some fish as a greeting gift.
When the local Native Americans saw such a big ship, they all stood on the shore.
Where there was water, they planted things and fished. There were still people inside, but it was too far and they couldn't come over.
Using the same method, the locals brought cherry sprouts to plant and waited for the day when the cherries in the tablet would ripen.
Two days later, everyone waved goodbye. The yacht went through the Drake Strait, took a big detour, and passed through the Magellan Strait on the way back.
In the past, Argentina belonged to Li Yi. Li Yi didn't want to stay here for too long. If he met someone, he would meet them and give them something.
The yacht was very fast, and they could go wherever they wanted.
The speed of a sailing ship depended on the way the wind blew, and after twenty days of sailing, the thirty-seven galleons circled the three steam ships and finally reached Guam.
The leader was Ruan Jin of the Winged Knights. Most of the assistants were also Winged Knights. The rest were the navy of the Tang dynasty.
The commander-in-chief of the navy was called Liu Tingguang. In the past, he was about to lose his position. The Tang dynasty didn't need to fight at sea. Later, he was helped by King Song, Li Chengqi.
The entire navy was grateful to King Song and Li Yi.
The imperial court had 20 officials accompanying them. All of them had good physical fitness. They could carry 100 jin of rice and climb six floors without panting.
They didn't choose the weak and sickly ones. They were afraid of dying at sea.
Even so, the 20 officials were still vomiting. Soon, they got used to it.
They didn't go to Hisashi Island. According to the sea map, they found that the direction of the wind led them to the next place.
There were a lot of supplies. The wind was blowing from the front. They chose a slanted route downwards. They didn't see Bird Island, Sulphur Island, and other islands.
They traveled more than 3000 km in one go. The sailing route was a big slanted line.
"Too enthusiastic. They are too enthusiastic." The sailors of the Tang dynasty got off the ship to replenish their water. They were warmly welcomed by the locals.
The female leader waved the Three Stars Flag. She didn't choose the flag of the Tang dynasty.
The people of the Tang dynasty saw her. They knew that they had only interacted with her for a short time. However, there were many beauties in the local area.
The problem was, how could so many beauties wear gunny sacks?
Piles of coconuts were sent over. The female leader found Ruan Jin, who was most used to speaking in the Tang dynasty, and gestured.
She pointed at the clothes on her body. Li Yi said that the ships coming later would change her clothes.
"Silk? Easy. " Ruan Jin understood. The other party was wearing gorgeous Sichuan brocade. He ordered people to row a small wooden boat to retrieve the silk.
Five bolts of silk were laid out. The natives on the island couldn't take their eyes off them.
The leader's clothes looked better. However, there were only two sets, both of which were worn by the leader.
She was still wearing the comfortable gunny sack clothes. It was cool.
The fresh water on the island had long been prepared. The natives looked forward to it every day. They hoped to live a good life.
When they saw the five bolts of silk unfurled, they were at a loss. They didn't know what to give in exchange.
They obviously didn't want the shells. Were they just going to give them some water and food?
"Doctor Li is pretending to be a good person. How are they going to use the silk without scissors, needles, and thread?" an official suddenly complained.
He had taken a fancy to the female leader. However, he was glared at by the Winged Knights.
Whoosh! More people looked at him. Ruan Jin placed his hand on the scabbard.
"What I mean is that Li Dongzhu has indeed made proper arrangements. He trusts us and knows that we will follow his orders to bring scissors and other tools."
The official instantly lost interest in the female leader and returned to his normal state.
"Bring the other items over. The island is in a crucial location and will be of great use."
Ruan Jin's hand left the scabbard, ignoring the official.
He wouldn't kill anyone for now. He would slowly settle the score when he returned.
More daily necessities were brought over. An additional bolt of silk was used as a demonstration. The Winged Knights began to cut and sew it.
The others filled the boat with water. Fresh water was the most important. The fresh water on the boat was discarded and replaced with new ones.
The female leader took a look and also picked up a needle and thread. Her movements were slightly clumsy.
"Why is she so proficient?" a navy soldier wondered.
The navy soldier beside him gestured with his chin. "Look over there. Someone's leg seems to be injured. It's sewn, but there's no infection. She must have been taught by Li Dongzhu."
"Should we bring embroidery workers on the boat in the future? I'm just afraid of getting injured. "
Another navy soldier frowned when he saw the stitching. It was too bad.
