Zhang Ruibo had eaten some popcorn. He wanted to take a few handfuls and bring them back home for his family to try.
Li Yi hurriedly stopped him. The three ships were going to the Japanese Empire. By the time they returned from the Japanese Empire, Zhang Ruibo would have sealed the popcorn.
The family members would vomit and have diarrhea. They would think that Li Dongzhu had secretly poisoned the popcorn.
"There will always be typhoons in the Japanese Empire. If you can land, do not stay on the ship."
Li Yi drew a stack of pictures with various clouds on it.
He passed it to Zhang Ruibo, hoping that it would help him. He had forgotten such an important thing.
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu." Zhang Ruibo held the paper with both hands.
"Don't pay the taxes for the time being. Save the money to build a sturdy ship. How much did you pay the last time?"
Li Yi felt that collecting taxes from the other party was bullying them.
There was no tax collection in the local area. If he collected 30% of the taxes, it would not be good for promotion. Guangzhou mainly collected taxes from merchants, and the local tax was only 10%.
"Some goods have not been sold yet. Estimate the price. According to the 30% tax, send 2,220 coins to the relay station.
I estimate that there will be 8,000 coins. After paying off the debt, the remaining 7,000 coins can be used to make money.
If you go all out, you will have glory and wealth. This trip will be short distance. Three ships. I estimate that you will have earned more than 10,000 coins. "
Zhang Ruibo grinned. Money seemed to be easy to earn if there was no danger.
Li Yi went to get a stack of coupons: "I will refund you the taxes. When you are familiar with this route, you will be able to lead more people. When the time is right, you can pay the taxes. "
Zhang Ruibo hurriedly put the cloud drawing paper into his pocket and took the money.
There were not many coupons in his hometown. He had to take a hundred copper coins to exchange for a handful of coupons.
"Take advantage of the dawn and hurry on. I will not keep you guys here." Li Yi wanted to continue fishing for red corals.
Zhang Ruibo and the other four happily left. They had returned the taxes and used good materials to build the ship.
"Looks like we have to cut down a bunch of big trees near the sea, on the banks of the Yellow River and Yangtze River." Li Yi wore a diving suit.
Princess Yongmu asked diligently: "Are we going to dry them and build the ship?"
"Yes! As long as the wood is suitable, it will take three months to build a boat. A big boat. "Li Yi admitted.
The steel smelted by the Li Family Zhuangzi was piled up, allowing the steel to slowly release its stress. It was the same for the big wood.
After Li Yi finished speaking, he jumped down from the side of the ship.
The little girl held the lollipop in her small hand and licked it. She continued to look at the water surface, but she no longer cried.
Stalk after stalk of red corals were pulled out of the water. The officials were envious. If they wanted to have one, they would have one.
For example, the one that just came out of the water looked about one meter tall and was bright red.
The person in charge of the crane hurriedly raised the pole and raised the rope to prevent the coral branches from being knocked off.
"It's too beautiful. If it's made into jewelry, how much can it be sold for in the Fragrant Fragrance Pavilion?" Xiao Lan's voice was trembling.
"We're not going to make jewelry. We're just going to leave it like this and let rich people see it. The Li Family Zhuangzi is going to issue two million yuan in exchange coupons."
Princess Yongmu had seen red corals in the palace before, but she had never seen one that was so complete and so big.
She became excited. If she salvaged red corals, the Li Family Zhuangzi would be able to issue tens of millions of yuan in currency.
The greatest value of red corals was that they could issue currency and accelerate the circulation.
Its beauty couldn't compare to the smiles of the people of the Tang dynasty. She didn't need to use it to show her elegance.
"Another stalk. This one is 1.5 meters tall, right? Is it heavy? It's heavy. It turns out that it's so easy for the Li Dongzhu to make money? "
The officials were trembling. They were even more exaggerated than when they saw the yacht.
"If you give it to me …"
"Your family will be exterminated. How can you have something that's worth millions of yuan?"
"Yes, an ordinary man is innocent."
"Don't remember the location of this place. Quickly lose your memory."
"You can't catch a complete coral with the net. You can only catch small branches."
"Are the small branches not valuable?"
The corals continued to be pulled up. There were big and small ones, and the smallest one weighed more than one kilogram.
He didn't want those that were too small. Let them continue to grow.
"Dongzhu is out. Was that one just now tied up by Dongzhu? Dongzhu is amazing! "The officials quickly flattered.
Li Yi boarded the boat. He still had a lot of oxygen. He was anxious.
On the boat, he directly performed a magic trick. A large bathtub and a bunch of equipment appeared.
"Put them in and raise them. The quality of dead corals will slowly decline with the passage of time." Li Yi instructed the operators to hang the corals one by one into the fish tanks.
The corals could still grow now, as long as the right environment was provided.
When they returned to Zhuangzi, he would change to a bigger glass carrier and get some suitable fish that didn't eat corals. He would then test the water quality and see what to feed the corals.
"Corals can be raised?" Xiao Lan heard this for the first time. She always thought that corals were stones.
"They grow bigger year by year. As long as they are raised properly, they will grow bigger after a few hundred years." Li Yi introduced with a smile.
Princess Yongmu considered another aspect. "Is it more valuable to raise them?"
"Let's get some more. When we go back, we can issue 50 million yuan in exchange certificates.
Being alive means strength, and the people will recognize it more.
It seems that I need to find more gems. The jade of Lantian County is valuable.
Kunlun jade is also valuable. Get people to pick it. Pick it from the river. The ones in the river are called Zi Material. The ones in the mountain are called Shan Material. The ones in the river have been polished for many years and are very valuable.
In addition, think of a way to promote rubies, sapphires, diamonds, and jade from other places. Think of a way to promote the jade of the southwest.
I will use them to ensure the stability of the currency. If they are not famous, we will find famous people to promote them.
For example, I, Her Majesty, or the ministers, when we talk about how good and beautiful this place is, we will write poems to praise it. "
Li Yi, who didn't like gems, decided to love them this time. It was easy for him to get gems because he knew the specific location of the mine.
If he wanted to pick them, he would send people to do it. It was best to do it secretly. Otherwise, there would be people guarding the place.
"Can't we get 100 million yuan?" Princess Yongmu didn't think it was too much.
"It's relatively shallow here. There is nothing around here. If we go down another 60 or 70 meters, it will be uncomfortable to wear an oxygen tank, unless I exchange for another set of equipment."
Li Yi knew that there was something else that could allow people to dive deeper. It was a liquid oxygen diving suit that could suck water into the lungs like breathing.
Also, the ears and nose could be filled with water, so the pressure on them would be less.
The feeling was probably not very comfortable. Breathing water into the lungs, unless it was a baby.
If it was inhaled and excreted through spontaneous breathing, it could easily cause fractures.
It was like another surgery, lung washing. However, lung washing had anesthesia, so it could be done alternately.
"Remind me again. When I go back, ask all the people who do dust work to wear masks, including carpenters. After a long time, carpenters' lungs will also have problems."
When he thought of lung washing, Li Yi thought of other industries. His thinking was too jumpy.
"Remember, 50 million yuan is enough." Princess Yongmu heard that he still had to exchange. No, money was easy to earn, but what if his lifespan was shorter?
Li Yi jumped down again. Since he could raise the big ones, he could raise the small ones next to the big ones. It was interesting to look at them.
Corals were not afraid of density as long as the water and nutrition were suitable.
When Li Yi came up again, in addition to the living small corals, there were also dead ones.
The dead ones were not as valuable as the living ones, but the people of the Tang dynasty did not know that. They felt that all red corals were the same.
