Lantian County was a good place to produce Lantian jade. In the modern era, Lantian jade had long since dried up. This kind of jade had been used since the Stone Age and reached its peak in the Great Tang.
After the Great Tang, the quantity of Lantian Jade had drastically decreased, and it had reached a terrifying price of one gram of blue sky jade and one gold coin!
With Lantian County and Lantian Jade, Li Yi would have a sufficient source of income!
How awesome was Lantian Jade?
The legendary heirloom seal was forged from Lantian jade!
You'll know how awesome it is!
To Li Yi, the greatest wealth of the Great Tang was the countless undeveloped resources. If he was willing to use them, he could resell all kinds of things. A trip to Lingnan and the development of Myanmar's jade mines would be enough for Li Yi to live a lifetime!
However, he did not have the ability to do so now. If he were to die on the way from Chang 'an to Lingnan…
Li Yi took the silver that each household had sent over and did not hide anything. He found someone to exchange it for precious items such as jade, gems, and gold. Of course, he kept a portion of his own expenses. Then, Li Yi bought quite a few things and kept them at home.
He finally bought two oxen and eight horses. Li Yi was happy. He could raise horses in the mansion and had a special stable. Chang 'an was too big, and many dignitaries needed carriages when they went out. They could not be managed in one place, so all the big families had stables.
Of course, there was a cowshed, but Li Yi's residence did not have one. He had built one temporarily. Li Yi used the excuse that he was going to Lantian County for the villagers to use. The Chang 'an County Magistrate rolled his eyes. He was really preparing for a rainy day. He had not even gone to Lantian County and had already bought cattle!
Of course, Li Yi also said that it could be used to pull carts for the time being. In this era, if a cow couldn't farm, pulling carts would also be excellent!
In the end, in less than two days, the Chang 'an County Magistrate came to visit again. This time, he brought the bailiffs with him. The reason was that someone had sued Li Yi for injuring a cow!
The Great Tang still used the Martial Virtue Law, but it was not very different from the Daye Law of the Daye Era and the Zhenguan Law of the later years. The rules were the same for cattle and horses.
According to the laws of martial arts, those who killed cattle and horses privately would be exiled for a year and a half. The so-called "exiled" was to be exiled to the border and other places to work. If it was serious, they would simply be thrown into no man's land and let them fend for themselves!
This was selfishly killing cows and horses. What if he hurt cows and horses privately?
If they hurt the cows and horses, they would be fined. If the cows died after the injury, they would still be dealt with according to the rules of killing the cows. If they stole other people's cows and horses to kill them, it was almost a capital crime.
Therefore, there was a big incident in Zhenguan, and that was " Crown Prince Stealing Cows ". Legend had it that Crown Prince Li Chengqian was instigated by others to steal cows, but he was accidentally stepped on by a cow and broke his foot. He became a cripple from then on. After that, due to a series of problems such as inferiority, plus Li Shimin was never cut out to be a father, Li Chengqian finally rebelled!
Anyway, if you, Li Shiming, can kill your brother and imprison your father, then I can do the same. Li Chengqian must be thinking the same way!
They were all forced!
It had to be said that Li Shiming's education was a failure. None of his children were educated well. Even if they were good, it was because of the prince and princess themselves.
Li Yi was prepared to go back. The Great Tang was currently in a stable state, and it wouldn't take long for Li Yi to return. Li Yi had exchanged a lot of gold, but he was also prepared to bring a lot of things back!
Among them, the most important ones were porcelain and wooden ware. Porcelain was fine, but wooden ware referred to wooden bowls. The Tang Empire was not like the Song Dynasty. Porcelain had not yet been popularized, and even pottery had not been particularly popularized. There were still many uses for wooden ware.
The purpose of bringing these things back was not to sell them. Li Yi was not stupid. Without time, even if it was the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, it would only be an antique piece if it was brought back to the modern world. It would not be able to sell for much!
Of course, if it was Yan Liben's painting, it could still be sold for money, but the price would definitely be very different from that of an antique!
Salt, tea leaves, horseshoes, and high-yield grain had all been released, but it was not time yet!
They had only listened to Li Yi's words, and Li Shimin was not even prepared for these things to appear, so Li Yi would not rush them!
The salt had to be transported over from the salt mine. The tea leaves had already been harvested, and many of the tea leaves had not been sorted yet. Moreover, Li Yi did not know how to stir-fry the tea!
Horseshoes could be forged, but that was Zhangsun Wuji's business, so Li Yi couldn't care less. Li Yi's family's blacksmith had already been taken away, and Li Yi probably wouldn't be able to see him again in this lifetime!
He was not dead, but was being guarded. This was a job that could cost him his life, but the blacksmith was so happy that he was about to go crazy!
To him, this kind of stable job was the most important. As long as he behaved himself, it was even possible for him to get rid of slavery in the future.
As for the final high-yield grain, the grain had to be seeded and planted. It had to wait until it took root, germinated, and ripened. All of this required time!
……
He had collected a lot of things!
30 pounds of gold, more than 20 pieces of top-quality jade, a bucket of pearls (100 pieces), as well as some gemstones, red and green gemstones, and Cat's Eye Agate. Li Yi took some of them and prepared to exchange them for money!
There were also porcelain and wood. Li Yi wanted to see if these things would be affected by time!
At night, after a few days of contact with the cows and horses, Li Yi finally gathered the energy to transmigrate three times and returned to the modern world!
In an instant, Li Yi's hand felt lighter. He took a closer look and gasped. There was a fish in Li Yi's arms. Li Yi realized that he had the most difficulty communicating with fish. He did not know why!
However, one thing was certain. The smarter the creature, the easier it was to communicate with it. Perhaps the fish were more stupid!
Furthermore, the amount of golden energy that the fish transmitted to Li Yi was rather small. It was probably because they could not communicate with each other.
But now, the fish in Li Yi's hand was gone…
To be precise, it had turned into ashes…
"Time!"
Li Yi checked the time and turned on his phone. Then, he turned on the monitor of his computer and looked at the time!
"In the Great Tang, 79 hours and 37 minutes have passed, which is 4777 minutes!”
"As for the modern era, the time in the past…3 minutes and 11 seconds?”
What kind of ratio was this?
286620 seconds and 191 seconds?
The ratio was as high as 1500:1. This number made Li Yi dumbfounded!
In other words, 25 minutes in the Great Tang was only one second in the modern world!
Li Yi's day in the Great Tang was less than a minute in the modern world!
Fortunately, Li Yi's reaction was quick. The second he returned to the modern world, he pressed his watch and the watch began to count. In the Great Tang, he had also placed a watch to count time. He wanted to test if the time in the modern world was exactly the same as the time in the Great Tang!
Was it 1500:1 in both directions?
But this ratio still shocked Li Yi!
Immediately after, Li Yi looked at his other belongings. Gold and the like had turned black as if they had been oxided. Porcelain and wood seemed to have been baptized by countless years and had become very dull. However, Li Yi was from the History Department and often hung out with the professors and students from the Archeology Department. He more or less had some knowledge.
Although there was no patina on the porcelain and wood, but…
The carbon-14 test was definitely from Tang Dynasty, not a few months ago!
"I'm rich…"
