"100 pieces of soap, 500 pieces of soap, a small mirror, and 20 porcelain bottles of toilet water. Take them with you when you leave tomorrow morning."
At night, Li Yi and the 50 people returned to Zhuangzi. They took out the things before dinner.
"Li Dongzhu, we don't have anything to pledge." Wei Yuefeng looked troubled. The things were good, but he couldn't take them.
"Don't pledge. Tell me your name, leave your fingerprint, and take the things. You can't change the base price. We'll split the price 50-50." Li Yi waved his hand generously.
He didn't believe in the other party's character. He believed in his own ability.
If the 50 people sold the things and didn't take them back, they could only run to other places to hide. They would never be able to participate in overseas trade.
When the time came, Li Yi only needed to issue a reward and say that one of them was willing to report. He would pardon the person's crime and even give them benefits. The 50 people would definitely be in chaos.
Wei Yuefeng looked at the others. Everyone had an expectant look in their eyes.
They were going to make money. Someone was selling soap, soap, and toilet water to the barbarians.
They were all sold for one or two pieces. The bottles were replaced with smaller porcelain bottles and sold together.
Every item was expensive. They could be exchanged for precious stones, corals, tortoiseshell, pearls, and other expensive items. They would then be sold in prosperous places or Chang 'an.
"I have something to say. As long as the seeds don't exist in the Tang dynasty, like the green onion seeds you think are this time, you can buy them at a high price and let the barbarians look for them."
Li Yi added. He knew that there were still things outside that hadn't been spread to the Tang dynasty.
For example, cabbages, cauliflower, apples, and bitter gourds. They weren't in America, so they could be sent over.
"I'll draw a picture for you. You can show the picture to the barbarians." Li Yi thought of a specific point and specified the target.
After that, he hurriedly finished his meal and went back to the study to draw.
What he drew was still life. He thought for a while and continued to sketch. Then, he used mineral gouache to color it.
He didn't use oil paints. It took a lot of effort. Besides, he didn't like oil paintings.
Well, to be honest, his oil painting was just a beginner. It was okay to fool people, but he didn't have time to practice.
Other than those things, Li Yi also drew loofahs and bananas, which were different from the bananas in the south.
He also drew coffee, bananas, and other African fruits as much as possible. In case someone had gone there by land or sea, they could bring them back and buy them at a high price.
Even if they couldn't grow it anywhere else, Qiongzhou wasn't a problem.
He painted until it was very late before he went to bed. Not only did he paint, but he also wrote an introduction. Of course, he would not write about the medicinal aspects.
Before going to bed, he muttered, "Check the export goods and restrict the outflow of medical books."
The next morning, Li Yi waited for the fifty people to finish their breakfast before he began to bring them food. There were instant noodles, fried noodles, and steamed buns that could kill people.
It wasn't correct to call it a steamed bun. It should be called a bar head. It wasn't made with fire. It was made by rolling dry flour into the dough.
The noodles were not made of dough. They were made with a little warm water and were called dead noodles.
Then, after roasting it, it would be like a stone and would not mold when placed on the body.
"I brought some tea leaves for you. They are different from the tea you have now." Li Yi filled many bamboo tubes with second-grade tea leaves.
The tea wasn't good, but the bamboo tubes were exquisite.
"I know, I know." Wei Yuefeng nodded vigorously, indicating that he had seen Li Family Zhuangzi's tea. It was expensive, and there were also cheap foam.
"Be careful on the way." Li Yi waved his hand, and these people boarded the car and headed south.
The car would be sent all the way to the south of Lantian County, and they would carry the rest of the way.
Li Yi also gave them ordinary bows and knives. Their original ones were thrown into Zhuangzi.
Each person was wearing a military coat. When it was hot, they could take it off and carry it. At night, they could use it as a quilt when they slept in the wild.
After sending them off, Li Yi wrote a note and asked someone to send it into the palace. It was what he muttered before he went to bed last night.
The medical books he copied were different from the current medical books. The system had organized them, and anyone who took them would be treasures.
For example, the Japanese Empire could not be given away. As for Xinluo, Li Yi planned to occupy it first. It did not matter if he gave it away or not.
The Korean Peninsula could not be given away. They could connect on land, not necessarily through the Yalu River.
The place where they connected was Changbai Mountain. They could just build a road.
After giving a lesson to the nurses and having lunch, Li Yi walked towards the land he bought in the east.
A group of people followed him. When they arrived, they saw a sea of flowers.
Red, pink, white.
"It's too beautiful." Taohong sniffed hard, wanting to smell the fragrance of the flowers.
"Poppy flowers are so beautiful." Li Yi looked at the plant that should now be called Yingsu and said with a smile on his face.
"This flower can bloom for two months?" Cui Liu followed.
"Then, you can cut the pulp and collect the pulp. After that, the dry shell can also be used as medicine. It's a good thing. It can cure many diseases. "
Li Yi knew how to use it. Even when he did not study medicine, he knew that his family had planted it in the courtyard.
It was either to look at the flowers or to cut the pulp and collect the seeds.
The pulp was cut and boiled in the pot. After boiling, a black piece was boiled. It was as hard as dry asphalt.
When eating, he used a kitchen knife to chop it. When a child had diarrhea, it was as big as a match head. It was very effective to drink it with water.
When he learned to smoke, he was curious and wanted to know how to get addicted to it.
He tried to put some in the cigarette but didn't feel anything when smoking. Later, he brought some with him when swimming and ate a piece as big as a pinky nail.
He felt something. His stomach felt warm. He didn't feel cold when swimming and wasn't hungry even when he didn't eat at noon.
After that, he didn't eat it anymore. He also stopped planting it at home. After two years, he only needed to keep the ointment for emergencies. He didn't need to plant it every year.
The donkey meat buns in the 1990s were still used when cooking donkey meat.
Including some knife-shaved noodles, the poppy shell rolled in the soup.
Sometimes, the poppy would be scooped into the bowl by accident. When people saw it, no one said anything. They just picked it out and put it aside before continuing to eat.
They only ate the soup boiled with the shell to improve the taste. It was not addictive.
After that, they couldn't see the poppy anymore. It was too strict.
The Internet was also developed. If someone saw the poppy, they could take a photo and post it online. The police would soon find them.
It was fine as long as they didn't let others see it. They couldn't sell it, let alone take a photo and post it online.
Now, no one cared. Except for those who studied medicine who knew that this thing could be used as medicine, the common people saw it as a flower, similar to cotton.
No one knew that this thing could be made into longevity ointment. The more one smoked, the more addicted one became to it and the body collapsed.
"Send someone to patrol. No one is allowed to pick the flowers. They have to be kept. After two or three months, they will be harvested and used for treatment."
Li Yi ordered. The palace maids and eunuchs noted it down. As medicine, they couldn't let others pick it up. They could only look at the flowers here.
"Dongzhu, what disease does it treat?" Qingsong was eager to learn.
"Diarrhea, nausea, and pain relief. Pain relief … "When it came to pain relief, Li Yi hesitated.
The best place to relieve pain was the battlefield. When a warrior was injured, the pain was too great. It would hurt to death. Eating this was okay. It was also refreshing.
But once it was used, the warrior would know the effect of this thing. Would he eat it normally? Eat it when he wasn't injured.
Eat too much and get addicted. Then, it would spread.
"Go back and think about it. It's a pity if you don't use it. If you use it, you'll be worried." Li Yi hesitated.
