Chapter 1243 The Legend of the Sea Breeze
Li Yi went out and saw an ice cart being pulled by a man in his twenties with a rope.
There was a small wooden house on the ice cart, covered with fur and with a door.
The door was open at this time, and the old lady was sitting inside, followed by a woman in beautiful silk clothes.
The man pulling the cart was wearing a leather coat, good leather, wolfskin.
The warmth effect may not be as good as deerskin, but it is more than ten times more expensive, and the boots are also made of wolfskin.
The woman's clothes looked a bit awkward to Li Yi. If they were simpler, with fewer patterns and the chest strap lower, they would look like Hanfu.
If the chest strap was wider and higher, it would look like a kimono.
How is he now...
Li Yi couldn't describe it, but he seemed to have some impression.
"My son, this is Li Dongzhu." The old lady sitting in the small house spoke and wanted to come out.
The man in his twenties looked at Li Yi, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
He stood up and wanted to kneel again.
"Just once, I'll take it." Li Yi stopped her.
The woman followed and knelt down to salute, her tone a little off: "Thank you, Li Dongzhu, for taking care of my mother, *— # ¥· # ¥..."
She said anxiously, and the Japanese language appeared.
Li Yi finally remembered the clothes. Yes, the Japanese clothing of this era is different from the kimono of the future.
He also spoke to the woman in the Japanese language he learned at that time.
"Li Dongzhu also speaks Japanese?" The young man was very surprised.
"Your name is Lan Bao. Seven years ago, you learned skills and went to Japan to make a fortune?"
Li Yi did not answer this kind of question. He had already said it. Do you think I can do it?
He did not blame Lan Bao for coming back after so long. When Lan Bao left, his brother was still alive, and his sister-in-law was still there.
Looking at the clothes the old lady changed, and the ice sled she sat on, it should be said that it was a small sled, you can know that Lan Bao is filial.
The clothes were obviously not put on today, and the sled was not bought outside the village.
Lan Bao hung his hands in front of him and bent slightly: "Yes, when I was learning, my master taught me to forge iron. Later I learned that the master's most powerful skill was shipbuilding.
The master had no family. When I built a boat that could go to sea two years ago, the master passed away.
I found a few people on the beach to go fishing with me in deep sea, and the result was..."
Lan Bao talked about his experience. He was fishing and encountered a strong wind. In order not to capsize, he had to run with the wind.
He ran and ran, and ran to Japan.
When he arrived in Japan, he knew how to forge iron and was familiar with ore. He actually found copper ore and silver ore by the sea.
He told the fishermen about this situation, and everyone tried to get food. It was not enough to have ore, but also to refine it.
So they found the locals, that is, the woman's village, called Nantian Town.
The two sides gestured, and the Japanese finally figured out the identities of the seven people. They were from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had a high status.
After the Japanese knew about it, they sent food to Lan Bao and his friends. Life was not easy, so the food was only enough to fill their stomachs.
There was a blacksmith shop in the town, and Lan Bao showed off his skills there, so Nan Tian He Zi was also sent to him.
He led people to look for ore, came back to smelt it, said goodbye to everyone, and took a pile of copper and silver ingots back by boat.
He melted the copper to make Kaiyuan Tongbao, and bought things, and the silver could be exchanged for money.
He took the things he exchanged back to Japan, traded back and forth, established his power, and built a new ship. He thought of his mother and brother, and brought Nan Tian He Zi back to see them.
When he came back, he found out that his brother was gone, his sister-in-law remarried, and his mother was blind before and was taken away by Li Jia Zhuangzi in Bashui.
Now he is helping to clean Zuixianju in Lantian County. After knowing that there is a sled, he made one himself and brought his mother and wife to see Li Yi.
"According to this, you are very powerful in Nan Tian Town?"
Li Yi thought of Lan Bao trading things back and forth, the Tang Dynasty needed copper coins and silver, and Japan needed silk.
There is very little maritime trade between Datang and Japan now, but Lan Bao actually found a suitable route.
The silk was sent over, but it was obvious that the people of Nantian Town were reluctant to use it themselves and wanted to sell it to others.
The supply channel was controlled by Lan Bao, and the locals helped Lan Bao to mine and smelt.
The people of Datang village on the other side also seemed to follow Lan Bao's lead. This kid is quite capable.
"We have weapons." Lan Bao knew how powerful Li's manor was, and he didn't dare to say that he was powerful.
"Use force to protect trade, and at the same time, because they can't control the channel, you... are very good!"
Li Yi thought about it, recognized Lan Bao's ability, and knew the reason.
If people in Datang want to make a fortune, they must get the approval of Nantian Town.
If people in Nantian Town want to come to Datang alone, they don't know who to find.
Nantian Town and Nantian Kazuko are the same family. Lan Bao has Nantian Kazuko as his wife, but other people in Datang don't have her, so the relationship is distant.
Li Longji, Li Chengqi and others listened nearby, and didn't think Lan Bao was so powerful, a woman's daughter-in-law from a small town in Japan.
How much money can be made from the trade? How many people can be killed with weapons?
"Auntie, have you eaten?" Li Yi went to see the old lady.
"I ate at the bridge head. I had a bowl of noodle soup with two slices of meat." The old lady seemed to be ten years younger.
The son is back, alive, and with a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Sometimes it's hard to speak clearly, don't worry, just talk more.
"Let's eat crabs tonight. Blue treasure is always crabs, right? I'll show you again."
Li Yi said as he went over to hold the old lady's arm and went to the hospital.
The old lady's eldest son died for the country, so the old lady is rich.
There are more than 20 strings of cash in the family, part of which is for the pension, and part of which is for the bride price of the eldest daughter-in-law's remarriage.
When the eldest daughter-in-law remarried, she asked for the bride price and left it to the old lady.
Now the old lady's home has become a hotel, earning hundreds of strings of cash, but Li Yi didn't touch it and kept it all.
The old lady herself didn't want to go home, so she lived in Zuixian and helped with some work, mainly sweeping the floor.
She didn't need to wipe the table and serve tea and water. She raised chickens and grew vegetables in Zuixianju in her spare time.
There are hot springs there, and the price of hot spring water for watering the vegetable garden is five times higher than elsewhere.
You can't eat it whenever you want, the quantity is limited.
After the examination, there are still old age problems, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which can only be maintained, and Li Yi doesn't need to inject it.
In the evening, when they heard that there were crabs to eat, Bi Gou and a large group of people came again.
The old lady didn't care. If she had known that the prime minister would run to Li's manor when he had nothing to do, she would have gone to Li's manor.
Lan Bao and Nan Tian He Zi were terrified. UU Reading www.uukanshu.netThe Prime Minister, the former Prime Minister, and the Shangshu, are they here for a court meeting?
Li Yi accompanied the old lady and her family of three alone, and it was impossible for them to go to eat with other people. The pressure was too great.
The crabs were cut and fried, not steamed. Frozen crabs are not delicious when steamed.
"Auntie is here, don't worry, there is nothing missing. Lantian County is half a day's journey from Zhuangzi, and there is a royal doctor next to Zuixianju.
As for you, you still have to keep in touch with Nan Tian Town in Japan, and don't stop buying and selling. I will take out three large ships to invest.
Give me the copper and silver ingots directly, no need to deal with them separately, I will exchange them for you with exchange coupons.
After that, we will invest in other trading items, and we will split them 80-20, 30% for me, 20% for you, and 50% for the Tang Dynasty court.
I will send Yulin Flying Cavalry to take charge for you, do you think it's okay?"
Li Yi saw a line and didn't intend to let it go. He had to master it in his own hands.
