The three ships sailed away and disappeared from sight. Li Longji was still looking around in his dragon robe.
He knew that Brother Yi could go anywhere he wanted, but it didn't mean that the Tang dynasty could.
Only when this team successfully reached a distant place and returned could the strength of the Tang dynasty be proven.
There were many ores overseas, and crops could be planted several times a year. Some seeds even grew well after being thrown in.
With so much food and Brother Yi's idea to let the people have more children, who would dare to be enemies with the Tang dynasty?
"San Lang, this dress is uncomfortable." Empress Wang, who was also at the farewell party, was wearing a phoenix robe. She touched her belly.
"Okay, change." Li Longji turned and walked from the shore to the courtyard. He stayed on the shore near the Li Family Zhuangzi and didn't go to the other side for fear of danger.
The manor lords came and went on the road, but he didn't see anyone wearing a dragon robe.
When he was about to reach the courtyard, Song De hurried over and saw Li Longji. "San Lang, Zhuangzi is going to make a batch of throwing cannons for the children to play with in the name of His Majesty. What do you think?"
"Good!" Li Longji nodded.
"Okay!" Song De turned and left naturally.
Bi Goo and the others were speechless.
Is it already like this? Are you pretending not to know? Can't you be more professional and put on a good show?
"He probably doesn't know about the dragon robe and the fan cover. How can a manor lord see the world?" Zhang Jiuling whispered.
"Jiuling, don't say anymore. I understand now. When we come to see His Majesty in the future, we can just ask the yellow door to report. No one will pay attention to us. "
Bi Goo shook his head. He felt that Zhang Jiuling was forcing the issue.
What does he mean by not knowing about the dragon robe? It's the entire ceremonial parade.
Ask the people outside. Is there anyone who doesn't know?
Zhang Jiuling smiled. "Okay, it's easier. But I still think it's better not to report. It's a waste of time."
"Counting the days, the empress …" Song Jing secretly glanced at Empress Wang's belly. Last May.
It was already more than February this year, and it was going to be March soon. She could give birth at any time.
"Li Yi is not here." Su Yi understood what he meant. Would the Empress be in danger?
"A second child? Easy. I'm not in the right state." Empress Wang suddenly turned her head. She had heard it.
The chancellors quickly lowered their heads. It was not good to discuss the empress giving birth behind her back.
This matter should be told to His Majesty face to face. The Empress giving birth was not her own business.
Li Longji and Empress Wang went into the courtyard to change their clothes. They hurriedly withdrew, as it was too ostentatious.
The farmers ran over to help. They folded the items that needed to be folded and put them into the warehouse in case they needed them again.
Originally, Zhuangzi didn't have one. He took it from Xingqing Palace and left it in Zhuangzi. It could be considered as a set. After all, no one dared to wear it.
"His Majesty has not forgotten me," Zhangsun Xin commanded. His original job was to manage these things for Li Longji.
This time, he was called over at the last minute to celebrate together.
He came with his wife and concubine. He also took the twins of the Xu Family to Zhuangzi to play. When he went back tomorrow, he would bring them back.
"Our family's land has been arranged. There is no rush to think about what to plant right now." Zhangsun Xin's wife was thinking about another matter.
Other people were planting. Now, they were thinking about the order of planting. Last year's winter wheat, what kind to plant after this year's harvest?
Those who did not plant wheat last year, plant paddy fields this year. In which month should they harvest and plant cabbage? Was there enough fertilizer?
The vegetable fields that were not planted in rotation with the grain crops needed more consideration. They needed to always have vegetables that were in season.
Cucumbers, eggplants, chrysanthemums, lettuce, cowpeas, coriander, leeks, cabbage, shallots, green onions. The layout of the vegetable fields was a study.
When there were tomatoes, beans, pumpkins, and other crops, they would all be considered.
This included corn, sorghum, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the grain fields.
Zhangsun Xin nodded first and then had a worried expression. "I'm afraid that Li Yi will not let us plant them when he comes back. Even if we plant them, do we dare to sell them?"
"Eat, eat a little. First, learn how to plant. When there are more seeds, once they are released, the first batch is guaranteed to make money. "Zhangsun Xin's wife gave her plan.
"Yes, plant one batch, harvest, expand the area, harvest, and continue one more time. When there are enough seeds, three years.
No, if the vegetables produce seeds, Li Yi will definitely use greenhouses to fight for time.
Two years after the greenhouses produce a batch of seeds, there will be seeds all over the Tang dynasty. "
Zhangsun Xin did not think about anything at the moment. All he thought about was Li Yi.
He found that following Li Yi made a lot of money. His wife was pregnant. After she gave birth to a boy, the concubine could give birth.
Then, he would get a high position and let the child be an official.
As for staying by the emperor's side, what was the use? Whether or not he could become a high official did not depend on whether the emperor could see him or not. He had to ask Li Yi.
Below the assistant minister, the emperor and the assistant prime minister appointed. Li Yi did not agree to the minister and the prime minister …
…
"Li Lang, the imperial court's fleet should be leaving soon, right? In the current wind, it is not easy for the sailboat to move forward. "
On the deck, Princess Yongmu's hair was not tied up, and it was dancing in the wind.
The ship was sailing in a straight line. Affected by the wind, the waves on the port side were big, and the ups and downs of the ship could be felt.
"The sails of the current army are woven with cotton thread. They are stronger and do not need to be brushed with tung oil. In terms of energy performance, they are lighter than linen."
From the perspective of craftsmanship, Li Yi knew how to sail. The people of the Tang dynasty were more skilled than him.
Princess Yongmu turned her head, and the wind blew her hair from the side of her face. "Li Lang, let's eat barbecue. Barbecue mutton skewers."
"Tie up your hair first." Li Yi said as he went to get the frozen mutton and asked someone to light the charcoal.
There were no live sheep on the ship, only live pigs and chickens. These two species were easier to raise because they could eat meat.
An hour later, the thawed mutton was fed, and everyone ate it together.
"Li Dongzhu, I heard that there are barbarians who eat people. Will we meet them where we go?" An official rolled up his sleeves and ate the meat seriously.
"Yes, but we may not meet them. Even if we meet them, it doesn't matter. They don't eat people mainly. We can beat them."
Li Yi did not deny it. There was indeed information that people in some places would eat people. It was a kind of ritual, and they did not eat the main food.
It was like taking people as living sacrifices. They killed people and gave them the ghost or god they believed in as a gift, hoping to be forgiven or sheltered by the ghost or god.
The premise of eating people was that they could catch people and eat them. It was fine as long as others did not eat the people of the Tang dynasty.
"Since they eat people, should we teach them what they shouldn't eat?"
Another official asked. He could not understand eating people, although there were many historical records about eating people as food.
Li Yi thought for a while. "We should teach them and let them have a new belief. Otherwise, if we are always in contact with them in the future, what if we are accidentally eaten by them?"
Li Yi was not thinking about whether it was right or wrong for them to eat people. He was worried that when he was in contact with some people, they would always treat him as food. Wouldn't that be too uncomfortable?
"That's what we mean." The officials were relieved.
