"Let's set sail! Goodbye! When I return, I will bring all of you to live a good life together. Don't send me off, don't send me off! "
In the evening, there were still no stars. The drones rose into the sky and shone like stars.
Li Yi stood on the deck and waved goodbye. He looked like he couldn't bear to let others send him off too far.
The fishermen stood on the fishing boats. If no one sent them off, how could they send their own boats off? They obviously couldn't keep up with the speed. Did they think they were dolphins?
The fishermen didn't feel sad. They had agreed that they would mail the broken items back and write a letter.
After a period of time, Li Dongzhu would send the items over and they would earn a lot of money.
"The sadness of parting can't be washed away. Sigh! Let's go and see how much seafood we caught. "
A hint of worry appeared on Li Yi's face. After sighing, he turned around and pulled Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan to go look at the seafood.
"Senior Sister, is Master hungry because he hasn't eaten dinner? Can you take Master's pulse when we eat? "
Li Guicang looked at his Master and was worried.
"Go away, what do you know? Master is happy and can solve a problem. "
Xiao Lan scolded her junior brother and walked a few steps before stopping. "But I should take Master's pulse. It is indeed abnormal. The seawater is probably cold."
"See, I told you!" Li Guicang proved himself.
"You said he was hungry, but I said the water was cold." Xiao Lan glared at her junior brother.
"It's cold and hungry!" Li Guicang was not convinced. Why are you right?
"When we go back, let the villagers have a taste. It should be enough for everyone in Zhuangzi. The rest can be eaten by Third Brother and the rest for a few more days."
Li Yi looked at the dog claw snails that were raised in the cold environment. They were not small. He was happy!
Zhoushan Archipelago was indeed a good place.
"Let's try it!" Xiao Lan thought about the number of villagers and nodded.
There was a large group of craftsmen who came later and brought their families.
They were probably still learning and looking at the blueprints, the new weights, the use of tools, and the simple processing of parts …
"After a few years, let's see if the railway can be built along the canal. It can be built in sections."
Li Yi hated that he couldn't get the national road and railway network from his era to be the best in the world.
"Li Lang, with the railway, will the canals lose their function?" Princess Yongmu asked with some reluctance.
"Yes, it's suitable for shipping bulk goods and has a long shelf life.
If it was not used, the canal would naturally be abandoned. The canal was not only used for transportation, but also for diversion and flood control.
If they didn't use it, they wouldn't clean it up or maintain it. If they encountered a flood, the price they would have to pay would be countless times higher than the time spent.
As the number of steam engines increased, the number of steam engine ships increased, which was beneficial for shipping.
Wouldn't it be better to transport a ship full of preserved vegetables to the railway next to the canal to unload and load the goods? "
Li Yi gave an example. Back then, he had abandoned it. Later on, everyone realized that something was wrong. They still had to use it.
The use of water from the south to the north and the use of ships was not wasteful at all. Instead, it promoted economic growth.
For example, many of the bridges on the Yangtze River were built too low. At the beginning, boats were not considered at the bottom of the waves.
The same mistake could not be made again in the Tang dynasty. The shoulders of giants were easy to step on.
"Good, good!" Princess Yongmu was happy. Then, she frowned slightly. "How many years will it take to repair it?"
"How long will it take to repair the Chang'an to Haizhou? Once the double track is laid, it will be repaired immediately. Let's see how much manpower and steam engines are involved. One year? "
Li Yi was not worried about the time. At first, the Jinpu railway from Tianjin to Nanjing was built in four years.
At that time, five million pounds was used. The purchasing power of the pounds in The Rising Sun City was very strong at the same time.
However, the Tang dynasty was not weak. They could throw money into it. In fact, the money spent was all for labor costs. The cost of materials did not include profits.
Mining iron ore, coal mining, and smelting only counted the labor costs, including transportation.
There was no need to buy the tracks. He did not earn a single cent from it. He did not dare to earn.
Next year, he would continue to build the railway and the bridge.
The Jinpu railway was from Tianjin to Nanjing. Why did the Tang dynasty build Tianjin? It was so far away, and the Khitans occupied it to help them transport tussah cocoons?
The railway from Luoyang to Haizhou was enough to connect here, but the Yellow River.
Without going to Tianjin, the total length would be reduced by almost three-fifths. It would be easy to finish it in one year.
"I have to find a way to make money again!" Xiao Lan was such a rich girl, but she did not dare to say that she had a lot of money when she thought about the railway.
"It's not a matter of money. Next year, more crop seeds will be released, and the output of indica rice will be higher.
Ezhou and the surrounding provinces will raise poultry and livestock. The handicraft technology will be thrown to the big clans and big merchants.
The Tang dynasty's agriculture and handicraft industry will improve as a whole. The increase in overseas trade will be able to support the construction of infrastructure. "
At this moment, Li Yi no longer considered the printing of paper money as collateral. It was meaningless.
If he suddenly had ten thousand tons of gold, would he dare to print the same amount of exchange coupons?
The people did not buy gold. They bought food, cloth, and meat …
The Tang dynasty could not digest ten thousand tons of gold, but they could let people overseas accept the exchange coupons.
Tell the people overseas to bring the exchange coupons to the Tang dynasty and exchange them for gold.
The value of the exchange coupons was the same as the value of the exchange coupons.
If the overseas merchants wanted to use the exchange coupons to buy food, fine, but they would add a thousand percent export tariff. Would they buy it?
If you don't want gold or food, kerosene lamps are better. You can take them back and use them yourself or sell them. How convenient.
You don't have spices or food, but do you have oil? You can dig it out in the open.
I'll teach you how to use wooden barrels. Bring them over. Fifty barrels for one barrel of diesel.
Aiya! I'll give you a friendship price at a loss!
Thinking of this, Li Yi chuckled.
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan looked at each other. Something good happened?
"Li Lang, what did you think of? Tell us! "Princess Yongmu asked gently.
"It's not easy for the overseas merchants. We can't always take advantage of them. I was thinking …"
Li Yi shared the process of how to be good to others. Giving roses to others would leave a lingering fragrance in the hand!
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan listened, and their eyes narrowed into crescents. Good! Li Lang was a kind person.
Fifty barrels of oil for one barrel of diesel. Lose money. If you don't believe me, I can give you a hundred barrels of oil, and you can give me one barrel of diesel?
The three of them happily went to eat dinner. An hour later, the yacht entered the inland river and the Yangtze River.
The drone rose into the air and shouted to the boats in front. It also helped to light up the boats.
Li Yi ate skewers. He didn't eat much in the hour and only drank beer.
He looked at the time and then at the speedometer. It was marked 35 knots.
He pursed his lips. More than 140 kilometers in an hour, and you're telling me that it's 35 knots? One nautical mile is equivalent to four kilometers?
Was there something wrong with the boat? Why couldn't it go so fast when he operated it?
This was a yacht, not a racer used to break records. Would it be able to fly if it had wings?
Eat skewers, continue eating skewers. If you don't think about it, you won't be troubled. Just don't damage the boat.
"We can eat at home at noon next year." Li Yi told Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan a piece of good news.
He considered that the inland river couldn't reach 140 kilometers per hour and needed to avoid the boats. Otherwise, he estimated that they would reach Zhuangzi by dawn.
If they were fast, not only would they not bump into other people's small fishing boats, but they would also be overturned by the waves.
