People had different understandings of things, but the only thing they had in common was survival. To live, one had to eat meat, just like Li Longji.
Li Longji took the seafood brought back by Li Yi to Zhang Village, mainly for ribbonfish.
Ribbonfish were too difficult to catch, so they had to cast a deep net.
"Brother Yi, I heard from the people at the beach that they have never seen a live ribbonfish."
When they arrived at the village, the ministers were arranged to rest, but they did not accept the arrangement and insisted on following.
The people of Zhang Village were not happy. We told you where to stay, but you didn't even take a look?
Next time, don't be so enthusiastic. We are with Dongzhu, why should we care about you?
"Actually, we can see a live one, but it will take a little effort." Li Yi really knew how to catch a ribbonfish alive.
Ribbonfish were not sharks. Sharks did not have swim bladders, and they relied on their flexible bones to swim in the sea.
Ribbonfish usually lived in deep waters. Once caught, or because of the ocean currents, the pressure in the ribbonfish's body would be too great.
The swim bladders were the main cause, and if they were damaged, they would die.
Altitude hypoxia was a similar situation. The high altitude oxygen was thin, and people's ability to adapt was not good.
Plateau people suddenly came to a negative altitude basin, which was oxygen intoxication.
"Can we see a live one? Before you, Li Yi, who said that ribbonfish would be auspicious when transported to Chang 'an, do you know? "Song Jing stared at Li Yi and said.
"When I cleaned your teeth, your eyes were not so round. Don't play this game with me, I don't need to explain to anyone."
Li Yi stared at Song Jing. If you don't understand, you can just ask, it's called asking for advice.
You are asking for advice, but you treat it as a question. You think you are superior?
Song Jing's face changed: "How is it a question of explanation, but …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Li Yi pulled Princess Yongmu and left.
Song Jing was dumbfounded. He did not expect Li Yi to turn hostile so quickly. He always thought that Li Yi was more tactful.
Li Longji glared at him and quickened his pace to catch up with Li Yi. The others followed, while Song Jing hid at the back with an ugly expression.
"Brother Yi, you haven't told me how you caught the Cutlass alive." Li Longji did not ask about the Tujue and instead asked about the Cutlass alive.
"Set up a large net with four fixed supports and fix the hairtail within a certain range. Slowly raise the net, and the hairtail will rise bit by bit along with the net, slowly expelling the gas in the swim bladder.
The speed of the net was very fast. Before the hairtail could expel the air from its swim bladder, it had already reached the top. The surrounding pressure was very small. The hairtail's swim bladder exploded, and the hairtail died.
Humans need to decompress when diving, just like ribbonfish. Of course, it's not a problem with the swim bladder. "
Li Yi explained the whole process very simply. He put a big shrimp cage in the sea and slowly lifted the fish after it went in.
Then he added, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the hairtail dies as soon as it comes out of the water. They're very powerful in the water. Look at their teeth."
"The meat is delicious." Li Longji understood the principle clearly. He thought that the hairtail had a bad temper and would die of anger after being caught.
"Steam it and eat it fresh." Li Yi stayed at night to treat the villagers to good food.
Li Longji nodded gently, "Guangping has been very irritable recently. The Tujue's affairs are still unresolved. The Tang dynasty is seeking stability internally. As the Chancellor, he can't find a good solution."
"To put it bluntly, it's because he doesn't want to lose face that he has to talk to me like that. What did Confucius say?" Li Yi looked at Princess Yongmu.
"Shameless to ask." Princess Yongmu immediately gave the answer.
"Wen Tian is smart. That's what it means. Shameless to ask someone who is not as high as you." Li Yi explained.
Princess Yongmu and Li Longji, "…"
Can it be explained like that? Are you sure that Li Yi's soul hasn't been swapped?
Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, "We have to keep the Tujue's affairs. The Tujue is a group of races, not just a single Tujue.
The land is connected to the Tubo behind the Hexi Corridor to form a large continent.
We have to train our troops and have an army that can defeat the enemy at any time. Coincidentally, the Tujue's internal strife is now, so we have to be more active there.
At the same time, we can suppress the Khitans, the Xi Tribe, and the Bohai Sea. The key is that after two years, we don't have to worry about military supplies. "
"Where will the money come from?" Bi Goo and the others had been following him, including Song Jing. He adjusted himself and didn't argue with Li Yi.
"Planting potatoes and corn. The local climate is very suitable. There are also many mines there. What's the saying? Oh! East forest, west mines, south agriculture, north herding. "
Li Yi was talking about the Inner Mongolia region. No, it was even further north.
The mineral resources there were abundant. Moreover, they could raise cattle, horses, and sheep.
There were also many other animals. Wolves were in packs and needed to fight.
Zhang Jiuling looked at Li Yi's side profile in surprise, "You've already planned for Gang Rou?"
"What plan? It's just the general trend of the world."
Li Yi wasn't lying. He had a map in his head, and the races, resources, strategic locations on the map …
He also knew where the wars were happening, who was fighting who, what was the reason for the war, and who was more powerful.
Zhang Jiuling said, "Build a road from there to Chang 'an. Build a railway."
"We need to wait. Wait until the railway from Chang 'an to Haizhou is profitable. Then we can build another road. The people of the Tang dynasty need more tools. Tomorrow, I'll see if there are any suitable iron mines. "
Li Yi also wanted to build a railway. Money wasn't a big problem. Instead of using the mineral resources to build the railway, it was better to use them to make kitchen knives, sickles, hoes, and other household appliances.
The railway from Chang 'an to Haizhou was used to transport goods from the Grand Canal during the dry season of the Yellow River in winter, as well as Haizhou's seafood and foreign trade.
After thinking, Li Yi pointed to the north, "Building a railway to the grassland won't make money. It's better to build it south along the Grand Canal and then go around to Guangzhou."
"But from Chang 'an to Chengdu in Shu Di," Zhang Jiuling thought of another route. This was profitable.
Li Yi looked at Zhang Jiuling in shock, as if he was looking at a lunatic.
Are you going to build a railway? Do you know how much manpower and material resources were used to build that railway? How many people died?
"In the future, there will be bread and milk." Li Yi didn't refute Zhang Jiuling. He was just being kind.
They continued to stroll around the village. Once the matter was solved, they would leave a hole for future use.
When it came to grassland, it gave the ministers a feeling of desolation and barbarism. Grass could grow very tall.
Grass could grow very tall, and so could other crops.
"Xiao Yi, what about the growth of rice and wheat?" Yao Chong couldn't help but ask.
"Wheat is fine. It needs much less water than rice. The same goes for potatoes and corn. Rice can't be grown, even in the Hetao region.
Wheat can be grown in a latitude region, such as Denzhou in Henan Province. The region from east to west, including Chang 'an, is in the same latitude region.
In grassland areas, dry farming should be the main staple crops, supplemented by cash crops such as rape and soybean. Sorghum is also fine. "
Li Yi patiently explained to everyone that the advantages of the local environment should be brought into play.
