Hearing 20,000 miles, Li Dan still felt that he could send someone to take a look, but when he heard that the sea was crossed, he was discouraged.

"Why the other sea? Is there no earth attached? Li Dan muttered, interested.

"When we have a fleet of big ships, we can pass, and the problem of fresh water will be solved, so make more large glass covers and bring saltpeter."

Li Yi is not distressed, isn't it just to sail at sea, there are charts.

The drinking water at sea is distilled and many ships are brought over, and each ship does not have to be filled with people.

The ship that is specifically responsible for supply, when the things are exhausted, they throw the ship away, don't want it, it's just a matter of money.

The only threat is a hurricane at sea, a big storm, or a sudden encounter with a large whirlpool.

"It will take many years, right?" When Li Dan thought of the big fleet, he went back and forth, from the formation of the fleet to the past and back of the fleet, it was a long time.

"As long as you do it, there will always be a time when you succeed, if you don't do it, isn't it still a normal life now." Li Yi can think about it.

Just like the national research weapons and spaceships, the transition of leadership from generation to generation will eventually be able to be done one day.

"Yes, it's always like that if you don't do it. Even if the old man can't wait for that day, you can do it. Li Dan's eyes regained a look of determination.

"You can wait, if you have money, you will have a boat, and the sea ship can fight again, and you can wait to help bring good things back."

Li Yi comforted the old man, if the old man lived for another ten years, he would be able to see things from any continent.

Columbus and Magellan are gone, and the fleet is not large, and the crew is not much, so they are not running around.

They don't even have any nautical charts, they just rely on their enthusiasm to fight and gamble on their luck.

You can tell the seafarers a lot of knowledge, including world maps, and make them with tools.

If you go out with a hundred big ships, and many of them are responsible for supply, how can you not come back? What kind of luck does that have to be?

"Is there anyone in those places?" Doulu Guifei listened and thought of the questions of the locals.

"There are some places, some places don't, there are potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the locals are not educated, and they speak different things from us."

Li Yi asked the palace maid and eunuch to bring tea and dried fruits, and accompanied the two of them to eat and chat.

"The locals are not as good as the southwestern barbarians, with bows and arrows and spears, in fact, the nearest location is in the north of the Wa Kingdom, and continue to the northeast along the road in the northern part of Hebei Province......"

Li Yi told Li Dan and his wife about the geographical location.

He told them that they had crossed the part of Japan and had come up to a strait, and on the other side of the strait was a new landmass.

It's just that it's cold there, and if you sail along the land over there, the weather will gradually get warmer.

"There is no canal there now, so you can only continue to go down, go around to the other side, in fact, you can land directly there, there will be something, and the local climate is similar to that of Qiongzhou......"

Li Yi found pen and paper when he explained this time, and drew the continent of the Americas.

Li Dan and Doulu Guifei listened very carefully, and the palace maids and eunuchs also paid attention.

They never knew there was a place like that, it looked huge.

"Xiao Yi, how is it compared to the territory of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Dan couldn't know the specific size, so he asked.

"How so? Compared with the Longshuo years, there are three and a half of the Tang Dynasty, and if you follow the land that the Tang Dynasty actually controls now, there are seven Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Yi gave two answers, many places in Datang said that they were their own, but they were occupied by others.

"It's so big, and there are so many places to grow and have very productive crops? If you take ......"

Li Dan wanted territorial expansion.

Li Yi shook his head: "Who will govern it?" Will the ruler be the king of the locality? ”

"Alas!" Li Dan was reminded by Li Yiyi and thought of it.

The distance is so far away, the people sent are building locally, gathering the locals under their hands.

At the same time, he also understood Datang, and suddenly announced the founding of the country, and Datang had no way to deal with them.

Even if they leave their relatives in Datang as hostages, they don't want these relatives anymore.

Like now, many governors use locals as governors, and some governors don't take good care of them, and they rebel when they say they are rebellious.

"It's a pity that place." Doulu Guifei showed a look of regret.

"When Datang has a big ship with a steam engine and better weapons, as long as there are no problems within Datang and they send people over, they won't dare to rebel."

Li Yi had a vision for controlling the Americas, including Kangaroo Island.

Artillery is placed on ships, shells are not made locally, technology is not given.

Whoever sent over, rotated once in a few years, dared to be disobedient, and more gunboats went over to fight.

"Fighting?" Li Dan paused with tea.

"The water vapor in the pot, if it is made, from Datang to that side, two months is enough." Li Yi didn't say half a month, the technology is not good.

"Hurry up and build it, two months are good." Li Dan recognized this time.

Li Yi: "......"

That night, Li Dan and Doulu Guifei left and did not live in Zhuangzi, and by the way, they took away the sketch drawn by Li Yi.

When I returned to the Hall of Blessings, I first said that the results of the examination were very good, and I could live a few more years.

Then he began to tell them what Li Yi told them about potatoes, emphasizing that they were all uncivilized natives.

Plant something, and it will grow quickly, a herd of horses on the grassland, Li Yike didn't say anything about this horse, it was Li Dan who thought about it himself.

"Brother Yi hasn't mentioned it to me, but Brother Yi has always wanted to build a big ship, and it has something to do with it."

Li Longji was yearning, and the first thing he even considered was not to occupy it, but to go to many places he had never been to see.

"As long as the boat is fast enough, it will be able to rule the land."

When Queen Wang took care of the children and ate, she directly thought about how to control the local area in the future.

In such a large area, there are still few locals, natives, why not?

"Let's build a ship first, a river steamer." Li Longji temporarily gave up thinking about distant places.

Datang is not busy yet, and there are Tibetan, Turkic, Khitan, and Dashi around.

A few days later, more small steamers appeared, and these small steamers began to be leased out by the Li family Zhuangzi.

The water network is being dug and there are already rivers where it can be used.

There are many rivers in Lantian County, and a group of small boats are sent over, from one village to another, and someone is responsible for ferrying.

Monthly, the money is calculated according to the lease for one month.

Don't charge money first, and see the situation after a month.

If the person renting thinks it is cost-effective, give the money to rent.

I think it's better to make money or even lose money, so I don't have to give money, but this ship will not be chartered to him in the future.

On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, Yao Chong and his colleagues took a car to the site of the water network construction to inspect the situation.

"It's been more than a month, and Li Yi hasn't moved anything, are you scared?"

Yao Chong watched people digging ditches there, and remembered that it had been too calm recently.

"The winter wheat is harvested, and then another crop is planted, and the cotton is not someone from the Li family Zhuangzi who went to see the situation, and there are some small steamers in use."

Zhang said that when he recalled the incident of the Li family Zhuangzi, he had no bottom in his heart.

Li Yiyi didn't take the lead, feeling that something was missing in his life, and he gave people a sense of insecurity.

Lu Huaishen closed his eyes for a while: "Didn't Your Majesty say that Li Yi can't give a new invention for the time being." ”

"It's not necessarily an invention, there is also Tibet, and the hostages of Tibet have not yet come." Zhang said that the matter of remembering the competition has dragged on until now.
