"I'll give you a tablet and teach you how to operate it. There's also voice translation, topographic maps, and other information. Let's have a few smart ones learn together."
Li Yi wanted to exchange for another tablet and copy the information inside.
From the time the team set out until now, they had recorded the diary and brought it back to the Tang dynasty.
"Dongzhu, you've worked hard." Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Ruan Jin recalled the experiences of Li Yi's group.
Without Li Yi, it would not be enough to obtain the same information even if 100,000 people died.
The information included the location of the reefs along the main sea routes, climate characteristics, local population, eating habits, living habits, species of animals and plants, ocean currents, wind changes …
A team of 6,000 people with 40 ships would not be able to produce the same information even if they died 20 times.
"Stop flattering and remember to be cautious. Don't seek merit, just avoid mistakes.
The lives of our brothers are the most important. It can't be measured by money. Whose child? Whose husband? Whose father?
Our Tang dynasty loves peace, but that doesn't mean we don't have a temper. If anyone dares to attack us, we'll destroy them.
If we discover that we can't destroy them, we'll run back to the Tang dynasty and reorganize our forces. "
Li Yi spoke earnestly to Ruan Jin about the problem of communication. He hadn't gone too deep into South America, and there were other places he hadn't stopped at.
If someone didn't know what was good for them and gave them something to show their goodwill, they might think that they were afraid of them and try to rob them and kill them.
If they encountered them, they didn't need to be courteous. If the other party organized more people to attack them, they would beat them until they were convinced.
Ruan Jin nodded his head vigorously. "I'll listen to Dongzhu. However, Dongzhu, I don't think anyone will attack us. After all, we have 6,000 people."
Ruan Jin was confident that the majority of them were combatants armed with weapons. Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to attack?
"You're not allowed to participate in the war between other tribes. What I mean is, don't mediate. If you insist on mediating, remember to give gifts to both sides first."
Li Yi brought up another matter. Do you know what's going on when other people fight?
For example, if someone ran to the Tang dynasty and wanted to mediate the war between the Tang dynasty and the Turks, hehe!
Is that okay? Okay! First, give them 10,000 warhorses or a million cavalrymen and admit that you're qualified to mediate.
"Understood!" Ruan Jin had a serious expression.
"Basically, there are no major problems. They also trade with each other. You'll know the situation after you read the information on the tablet. "
Li Yi chose to let it go. It was as if he was watching a child go on a journey.
Usually, mothers who sent their children to school would remind them of everything, no matter how trivial.
As a father, he could only say a few simple words. He wanted to say the rest but was unwilling to say it. Children would eventually grow up, and young eagles would eventually have to rely on themselves to soar into the blue sky.
Ruan Jin stood up and knelt down on one knee. "Rest assured, Dongzhu. I'll bring people to learn with all my might."
"Let's cook. We have a lot of people, so we can prepare in advance." Li Yi left his seat and put his hands into the pockets of his trousers.
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan held onto Li Yi's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
It was as if the natives were celebrating a festival. Children ran here and there, looking here and there.
The adults worked hard and there were many fish, prawns, and shellfish.
For a team from the Tang dynasty, providing things to the three hundred local people was a piece of cake.
The natives felt that what they provided were definitely not necessities for survival.
There were large wooden buckets filled with water, salt, food to eat, wood to build boats and houses, useful tools, and beautiful "cloth".
Princess Yongmu held onto Li Yi's arm. Feeling that her hand was too hot, she pulled Li Yi's hand out of his trousers pocket and swung it back and forth.
Xiao Lan followed suit and held hands. Her pace was the opposite of Princess Yongmu's.
Li Yi instantly turned and stopped. "You two are walking in the same direction."
"Oh!" Xiao Lan took the initiative to adjust. Who asked her to be a step late?
The little girl didn't follow them. She led a large group of people to dig for wild vegetables.
The vegetables on the island grew well. There was plenty of fertilizer, and there was no accumulation of water.
The same wild vegetables on the rice paddies were different from those elsewhere. They were several times bigger.
"Dig, dig out the soil. I want to bring back two big sacks, no, five sacks."
The little girl made others work. She found that the soil was good.
The sailors did not say anything and dug with shovels.
They were the navy of Bohai Bay. They had never seen the little girl before. Now that they were ordered, they were not angry at all.
She was Li Dongzhu's first disciple. What did it mean for Li Dongzhu to accept her as his disciple?
Moreover, the little girl was digging with a small shovel. She was definitely not bullying them.
Princess Yongmu suddenly asked as they walked, "Li Lang, after you go back and plant for two years, will you give it to the mountain people in the remote areas?"
"You're talking about Bohai Bay, the southwestern barbarians, and other places, right? Let's not give it to them first. Lu Zhou, Guangzhou, Jiangnan East Province, and Shannan Province. "
Li Yi shook his head. He was not that generous. After all, those places were not the Tang dynasty.
The black soil in the northeast was indeed good, but it had nothing to do with him now.
If he wanted to plant potatoes, he could plant them in Inner Mongolia as well. There were a lot of potatoes in one mu of land. In any case, other crops could not compare to them.
The Yellow River, the Northern Protectorate, and the Hedong Province. There was a large area where the Turks had withdrawn their troops and not come out.
The local area was full of grass. They herded cows, sheep, and horses.
It was a good opportunity to move the troops out and stop the Turks from going south. They could plant potatoes at the back.
They would not use the Yellow River as a natural barrier. They would take the initiative to go out. The cavalry would gallop. If they were not convinced, they would fight.
When they planted wheat, they could launch a surprise attack and burn it. Then, they could play guerrilla warfare.
'You'll burn potatoes for me? I'll let you step on the potatoes. Let's see how many potatoes you can break.
There were furrows in the potato field. If you ran back and forth, the cavalry would not break the hooves of the horses. '
'What? You're digging with a mound? How many sacks can you dig? '
"Hehehe!" Li Yi laughed foolishly as he thought about it.
Little Lan and Princess Yongmu exchanged glances. They understood each other's thoughts. Li Lang must have thought of another trick.
"The big potatoes are not as delicious as the small ones. The small potatoes are baked with salt and eaten with peeled skin. They're delicious, especially in a big iron pot with an earthen stove."
Li Yi pouted. He was hungry. The small potatoes were suitable to be cooked in a big iron pot. Add a lot of salt.
After cooking, the pot was dry, and there was a layer of salt frost on the potatoes.
It was even better than the soy sauce potatoes cooked with the skin of the meat. The soy sauce potatoes were salted vegetables, and the salt frost potatoes were snacks.
The female leader turned around. She was holding a bow in her hand. Her face was a little dark.
"You're drilling wood to start a fire? Yes, there's no flint here. You can only drill wood.
Leave a few lighters and some kerosene in glass bottles.
When you go back, remind me to provide lighters to all the prefectures and villages of the Tang Dynasty. "
Li Yi knew what the female leader was doing at a glance. To be a leader, she must know how to drill wood to start a fire.
The Tang Dynasty was far away. In the past, many people had to drill wood to start a fire. Therefore, less than half of the people in Chang 'an lived in Chang' an.
If they wanted to cook, they would have to borrow a fire from the workshop if they couldn't keep a fire in their house.
The 108 workshops in Chang 'an were not just designated places.
Every workshop had a night watchman who left a fire in the workshop.
If the people wanted to cook, they would have to borrow a fire early in the morning.
If the fire in the workshop was extinguished, many people would help to drill wood to start a fire.
It was not possible outside the city. Once the fire was extinguished, they could only drill wood by themselves.
Li Yi knew that in his previous era, drilling wood to start a fire was just a game. The people of the Tang Dynasty were a part of life.
