"As for the items … I'll lend them to you. I'll lend them to you as well …"
Li Yi made up his mind and told the 101 fishermen.
He also left some soap on the water mirror. The effect was not as good as a professional, but it would still be useful.
101 fishermen represented 65 households. The women did not come, so the surrounding fishermen represented 65 households.
When they entered the water, they were naked. When they boarded the boat, they were given large pants.
When they went out, they would wear clothes made of woven silk, which was considered a local tribute.
There were even better woollen silk. They could only look at it, but they could not afford it.
The local tributes were woollen silk, woven silk, Huai yam, aconite, and seafood. The Huai yam was called Dioscorea.
The fishermen on the small islands were poor. They had a single source of income and were not competitive. They had no external funds, technology, and local government support.
Li Yi gave them the tools, and then the Tang dynasty expanded to the Tianxia Fund.
The Zhoushan Archipelago was ignored by the Tang dynasty because of its small population.
However! This was very important.
Shanghai was only a small area, and part of Jiangsu was in the sea.
The Zhoushan Archipelago was the outermost island group. It was convenient for ships to dock, and it could be used as a supply point.
Even during Li Yi's time, the Zhoushan Archipelago was only conquered by the ruling party in 1950.
If foreign ships wanted to attack, or if their ships could not find a place, the Zhoushan Archipelago could build a lighthouse to store soldiers and food.
The coastal areas were unstable, and it was not conducive to the development of sea trade.
Ocean trade made money, and the coastal people did not have enough facilities. They could only watch others make money, and in the end, people took risks to survive.
Since he knew what would happen in advance, Li Yi prepared in advance. He did not want to wait for problems to arise before dealing with them.
Coincidentally, the Zhoushan Archipelago was connected to the Tang dynasty's territory. There were many sea vegetables around the islands, and it was suitable for raising pigs.
When the fishermen heard this, they finally put down their things and focused on the mutton skewers again.
The mutton skewers were already theirs. At least they could use it freely, and they did not have to worry about losing it.
The mutton skewers were definitely good stuff. They had only eaten mutton a few times, and it was too expensive, not to mention barbecuing it.
They sipped some white wine and ate a big mouthful of meat. As they chewed, they were filled with happiness.
After two mouthfuls, their spirits suddenly dropped, as if they had contracted an infectious disease.
"The Winged Knights have already sent skewers of meat to your families on the island, as well as wine made from glutinous rice. Don't worry."
Li Yi smiled at those who were in a bad mood and said that he had already made arrangements.
It was impossible to give some people good food and make them not think about their families.
Their homes were separated by hundreds or thousands of miles. There was nothing he could do but miss her.
He was clearly eating and drinking right next to them, but what were his parents, wife, and children eating and drinking?
When the imperial court held a banquet, officials were allowed to bring food boxes home.
The Li Family Zhuangzi gave more benefits to the officials. Therefore, the officials of the Governor's Office were honest and clean, so there was no excuse for corruption.
"Li Dongzhu, don't worry. I promise that I'll fish up more things in the water in the middle of the night."
Someone stated that the only thing he could offer was his physical strength.
The others chimed in, looking as if they were going to risk their lives.
"Good! I'll bring it back for His Majesty to eat. But … if His Majesty doesn't want to eat something exchanged with his life, even if one person dies, I'll throw everything we fish up into the sea. "
Li Yi warned that if you don't want to live, I'm afraid.
He was clearly bringing back food for everyone to eat, but there were lives on it …
"Li Dongzhu, we know. We don't want to die, so we promise not to cause trouble for you. "Another person patted his chest.
Everyone ate until they were half full and rested.
At two in the morning, everyone formed teams and went down again.
Princess Yongmu and the others went to bed early, so they didn't accompany him.
The sky was dark, and the water was even darker. Under the light, fish swam close to the side.
Li Yi swam and felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and met a pair of eyes.
He was startled and almost exchanged for a fishing spear underwater. Wait a second, aiya! A dolphin!
"Don't poke me with your head. If you poke me in the wrong place, I'll bleed internally. Look, there are fish over there. Go eat."
Li Yi muttered in the water, regardless of whether the other party could understand or not.
The dolphin seemed to understand. It went over and ate a fish, then turned around and swam back, continuing to look at Li Yi.
"I'm digging for dog claw snails now. Look, you can't help with this thing. I'll light it up for you to find fish to eat. Don't poke me."
Li Yi muttered again and approached the little robot. The little robot had a stun baton.
He said to the little robot, "Don't electrocute the fish first. Protect everyone. If you find a dolphin, don't know if there are sharks. If you encounter a shark, deal with it directly."
The little robots began to arrange positions. At the same time, a little robot said to Li Yi, "There are no sharks. Prevent the dolphin from hitting people."
"Yes, there are no sharks." Li Yi was sure that there was a sonar radar on the yacht.
The shark and dolphin system can be distinguished, so this dolphin will follow.
At five in the morning, the sun jumped out of the sea. Li Yi and others boarded the boat.
There were more than a dozen dolphins swimming around the yacht, their heads popping out of the water to look up.
"I don't have anything for you. You can catch fish to eat. Do you eat salt?"
Li Yi looked down and thought about feeding the dolphins some large grains of salt.
Horses, cows, sheep, and other animals liked to eat salt. The dolphins living in the sea probably couldn't find salt.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The dolphins suddenly ran away, probably afraid that Li Yi would feed them large grains of salt.
"They went to find food." The fisherman next to him was familiar with the situation.
"Let's also eat and sleep. We'll fish again in the afternoon and return to Luoyang in the evening. It seems that we can arrive on the ninth day, half a day earlier."
Li Yi yawned and went back to the restaurant to eat. He also gave Wan Zhaoyuan an IV drip.
Wan Zhaoyuan was in a good mental state, but he was always groaning in pain.
In the past, when he was injured and didn't make a sound, everyone always asked about him with concern, especially his wife.
Now that he made a sound, his wife would occasionally smile at him.
Breakfast was fish-stuffed wontons. The skin was big and the filling was small. The skin was more expensive than the filling.
"Actually, it's possible to make meat swallow's skin with fish and glutinous rice. It's just that no one is willing to do it. The main reason is the lack of sales."
Li Yi thought of meat swallow when he was eating wontons. Without white flour, how could he make the skin? He also wanted to eat the filling. He could only think of other things to replace it.
"Leave behind the tools?" Princess Yongmu gave Li Yi cucumber and pickled vegetables. The cucumber she bought was very tasty. After soaking it in the water, the pickled vegetables would have a chewy texture.
"No. When we go back, I'll find a craftsman to make it. Then … there are a bunch of them on this island. They can learn from the people on our island."
Li Yi put it on the agenda. It was best to have tools to make meat swallow's skin. It was too strenuous to use a stick to beat the fish.
Just use a roller to squeeze the fish. Fish don't have bones.
The people on this island made meat swallow's skin, packaged it, and sold it at a high price. When the people on other islands saw it, they would definitely want to learn.
There was a problem involved: how to preserve it.
