Bringing System to Great Tang

Vol 2 Chapter 2448: different merchants

The place that Li Yi was concerned about, guarding the key position of the Malacca Strait, was called Sarudu at this moment in the Tang Dynasty.

There are people living in the area, and they also farm and fish.

They didn't teach anything, they all belonged to them, and their living conditions were okay.

They live more in the seaside and eastern plains, relatively few in the hills, but they hunt there too.

In addition, they live by exchanging things. There are ships passing through the Strait of Malacca, and it is not easy to stay in other places.

Especially coming to Datang, I feel that Singapore is the last supply point for the remaining sea route.

In general, merchants who need fresh water will go ashore here.

The local residents did not understand that the water in the river could be sold for money, and they even led others to fetch water.

Then look at what other people have, and the two sides exchange.

Now many local people gather together and eat grilled fish in the morning.

It is more difficult for them to fish by themselves. They do not use nets, but use wooden spears. They take small boats to the sea and pierce when they see fish.

No matter how far they are, they don't go, and most of the things they get in exchange are iron utensils and pottery pipes.

They collect pepper, prickly ash, cinnamon and other things for others.

They don't know the specific price very well. Anyway, based on what they paid and received, it was very good.

"You should be drying salt, and you shouldn't have taught it to you, but we can see the salt fields in the Tang Dynasty, and will eventually learn it."

Facing the local people, Jia Tong, the leader of Datang's team of forty sea ships and one steam engine ship, gestured while talking.

He can be the leader not only because he is a battalion commander of Fei Lin Feiqi, but also because of his foreign language ability.

Before he came out, he learned more than nine foreign languages ​​with the barbarian merchants in Chang'an and Luoyang.

When he got here, he kept changing languages ​​to communicate with each other, and finally he could reach a consensus on certain words.

The fish was caught by the fleet. After they came over, they were supplied with fresh water and took a nice bath. The two sides have been in communication for three days.

He wants to teach the other party how to dry the salt, free up productivity, and don't cook it in a jar.

At the same time, he gave the other party a lot of farm tools, including hoes and shovels, both of which do not belong to the same thing.

The **** is mainly used to remove grass, and the **** is mainly used to dig and dig soil.

The front of the **** is more flat and wide, while the head of the **** is long and flat.

Pickaxes are for digging deeper soil, including crushed stones.

When the locals got the scythe, many people hugged and cried, and there is such a good thing.

The team led by Jia Tong was naturally given preferential treatment. The locals sang and danced and brought out all the spices.

Jia Tong decided that this voyage would end here, not to move forward, and there were others ahead.

He led the team ashore, drew maps, recorded species, and made specimens to take back.

Continue to go elsewhere here, there are more things, enough for them to collect, good wood to be cut down.

On the return journey, pass by a place known before, and exchange food and wood with the other party.

In this way, the fleet will be full of things, and here, they will help to build and become the stronghold of the Datang fleet.

The other party was eating grilled fish, and also gestured and said, asking about the specific situation, how can you make a lot of salt at once? What about seawater?

After eating the grilled fish for breakfast, Jia Tong took a group of people and some local people to the seaside to build a salt field, which required building blocks after blocks.

Temporarily make salt raking tools and teach the locals how to operate them.

Others went into the rice fields of the locals to help weeding, rolled up their trousers, took off their shoes, and went in, pulling out weeds, such as barnyard tares, when they found them.

The local people's rice is tossed, not transplanted. It's refreshing after entering. There are marks one after another on the calf. When it hits the water, oh my!

The locals felt the kindness of the Tang people, but other people never helped with their work.

The leader looked at Jia Tong and asked, "You are different from others, why are you helping us?"

Jia Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and told the other party: "Those people can help you to make money in order to make money? How to exchange or how to exchange.

We represent the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our words and deeds abroad reflect the demeanor of a country.

Do not bully those who are weaker than us, do not fear those who are stronger than us, this is the Tang Dynasty. "

"Da Tang?" the leader repeated.

"Da Tang!" Jia Tong pointed to the northeast.

"Da Tang!" The leader pointed to the past, with a look of hope in his eyes.

At noon, they ate again, and the locals were smiling. In recent days, they have been eating three meals a day, and the last meal at night will last until they are full, and then go to sleep.

But today, there is no grilling or stewing fish. Jia Tong and his brothers are tired of eating.

They made fried fish, braised fish, dried fish, salt-baked prawns and crabs, and cooked fried rice with rice left over from the local area.

Pick wild vegetables to make fish soup, and get some pickles by the way.

The leader's eyes glowed and he stared, not only watching the cooking process, but also the big iron pot.

Iron smelting will happen in many places in the whole world at this time.

Including Africa, Africans know how to smelt iron ore.

Knowing does not mean that there is, Datang understands better.

When Li Yi didn't tell how to get the coal and pointed out the large iron ore, the iron bulls on the Pujin Ferry Bridge in Datang consumed nearly half of Datang's iron output that year.

How heavy is the iron bull? It shows that there is not a lot of iron in Datang.

If it weren't for the fact that the Turks and the Post-Turks were there before and after, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com Datang needed fast transportation capabilities, and it would not have been willing to build such a pontoon bridge.

After Li Yi appeared, it was changed to concrete. There was no shortage of iron, but it was useless.

Replace it with iron, that iron, that is, the output of two or three days. If you don't believe it, look at the Datang Railway.

African iron smelting is not actually melting iron, but getting other things out of iron ore, leaving iron that cannot be melted, and then forging.

Because the temperature is not enough, they use charcoal as fuel.

Their craftsmanship for making charcoal is not yet good, and they don't know how to build kilns.

Thanks to Africa, there are enough good woods. If you change the place, you can change people to cry by consuming firewood for charcoal.

At present, Salu has a little ironware, which is very precious, and has been made into knives.

With such a big iron pot, how many knives can this iron pot make?

"I have given you so many iron tools, and this pot is also given to you. Don't think about smashing it and replacing it with a knife. The steel mouth is different."

Jia Tong, who was cooking, noticed that the other party's eyes were not good, and told the other party not to smash the pot.

"You are the 'king' in the Tang Dynasty, right? You have a lot of iron, and the tools you gave us are, now this..."

The leader asked in his vocabulary, which can also be translated as aristocrat. He gestured the diameter of the big iron pot and was in awe of Jia Tong.

Jia Tong smiled: "The king? Me? I have such a big iron pot at home, and there are other pots, complete sets. Let me tell you..."

He told the other party about the life of the Tang Dynasty, and about the Zhuangzi of the Li family.

The leader was stunned for a while, eating dozens of dishes in one meal?

Do not work when the sun rises, rest when the sun sets?

Still today!
