Ang Lee gathered the captains and important seafarers of each ship, emphasized the specific situation of the islands they were passing through along the way, and told them how to deal with them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to make it easier for these people to know their location on the sea, Ang Lee marked the islands on each world map with corresponding Arabic numerals, and each Arabic numeral corresponds to a complete set of small maps, that is, the topography of the island, as well as the plants on it and other detailed information.

In this way, after discovering the island, these seafarers only need to investigate the various conditions of the island, and according to the small map and information, they can confirm which island it is, and then, according to the number, go to the world map to check, they can know where the island is on the map, so as to determine their specific position in the ocean.

Although the map provided by Ang Lee is a map thousands of years later, there are still some differences from the era of the Tang Dynasty, but most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean have existed for tens of thousands of years, so many of the islands that existed in later generations also actually existed in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and there is not much difference, which can be used as a practical reference.

While the captains and chiefs of these ships conscientiously studied the knowledge of maps and materials, the sailors and miscellaneous servants below, under the command of the imperial officials, carried all kinds of important supplies onto ten steam ships, so as to make the most adequate preparations for the voyage.

Because the journey to the Americas is extremely long, therefore, the preparation of various materials is still very large, mung beans and soybeans must be prepared sufficiently, because there are no vegetables at sea, people can not eat vegetables for a long time, it is easy to get septicaemia, not to mention the water source, the sea is full of water, but the sea water is not drinkable, only clean fresh water can be used for people to drink.

In addition to soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, there are also a large number of canned food on board, including canned vegetables and fruits, which can better prevent the occurrence of sepsis, ensure that the crew can arrive in the Americas quickly and efficiently, and bring back all kinds of products needed by the Tang Dynasty, so as to further promote the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Empire.

The equipment of astronomy is of course indispensable, and the equipment of large-aperture wide-angle high-power telescopes can increase the probability of the fleet discovering the new continent to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also allow the fleet to discover the storm on the sea surface as soon as possible and make timely evasive actions.

However, the Pacific Ocean is still relatively calm in general, otherwise how could it be called the Pacific Ocean? A steam-powered fleet should be able to reach the Americas without any trouble and bring back enough goods.

And once the exploration of the Americas is successful, next, the Tang Empire will continue to send more ships to the Americas and bring back more products, after all, the transportation capacity of ten steam ships is very limited, and it is impossible to transport back a sufficient number of properties.

To make sure nothing went wrong, Ang Lee spent ten days in the harbor and spent at least five hours a day communicating with the sailors on various aspects of navigation.

I have to say that these sailors all grew up by the sea and have a good understanding of marine knowledge, so it was quite smooth for Ang Lee to communicate with them with his knowledge of the ocean, at least, they could understand what Ang Lee was saying, and Ang Lee understood what they meant.

Ten days later, everything was ready, and under Ang Lee's watchful eye, ten steamships slowly sailed out of the harbor and headed for the Americas, tens of thousands of miles away, to explore the New World.

After the steam ship left, Ang Lee's mission came to an end, and the time was about to celebrate the New Year, that is, Ang Lee needed to leave the harbor and return to Chang'an City.

After inspecting the steam ships under construction, Ang Lee went to the Laizhou Railway Station to take the bus back to the capital.

"Li Shilang, the fishermen near the Laizhou Thorn Shi have caught a lot of sea fish, all of which are alive and ready to be presented to Your Majesty, and the sea fish have been loaded onto the train."

One of the guards walked over and spoke.

Li An can eat fresh sea fish almost every day these days, however, Chang'an City is too far away from the sea, and there are really no fresh sea fish on the streets of Chang'an City, because, according to the previous mode of transportation, the sea fish will definitely die on the way to Chang'an City, so the people of Chang'an City, all the sea fish they can eat are dried fish.

And now, between Laizhou and Chang'an City, has been connected to the railway, a single line journey is only three days, fill the big box with seawater, put in the sea fish, three days will definitely not die, so that the people of the capital can also eat fresh sea fish.

However, the first batch of fresh marine fish shipped to the capital in front of him was all presented to Emperor Li Longji, so all of them were expensive and rare species.

"It's these sea fish, Li Shilang, please take a look."

Ang Lee boarded one of the carriages of a freight train and found that there were a large number of fresh marine fish in it, and they were indeed valuable and rare cherished marine fish, which were very ornamental.

The wooden box in which these fish are stored is so large that it looks like a small fishing boat, and not a drop of water leaks.

Based on the experience of Li An's later generations, these sea fish were transported to Chang'an City together with the seawater, and as long as they were taken care of, these fish could survive forever, and even have children in Chang'an City.

If you use medicinal jade materials to make an aquarium with excellent ornamental properties, and put these marine fish in it, you can achieve excellent viewing conditions for these marine fish.

Li An thought of making an aquarium and putting these sea fish in for people to see, his mood immediately became excited, after returning to Beijing this time, he must seriously make an aquarium and dedicate it to the palace first, so that Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan can enjoy it, and then, after more sea fish and sea water are transported to the capital, Li An can build more aquariums and open an aquarium to charge tickets at a very low price.

With the current population of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the gathering of nobles and merchants from all over the world, Li An believes that opening an aquarium will definitely have a very good business, especially the nobles from many small countries in the west, in the vast desert Gobi, they must not have seen fish in the sea, and in Chang'an City, you can enjoy a wide variety of fresh sea fish, so why care about that little bit of money?

These fresh sea fish are a little bit of affection from the officials and people of Laizhou to the emperor, and of course Li An has to accept them on his behalf and be responsible for presenting them to the emperor.

However, the officials and people of Laizhou are grateful to the emperor is true, if it is not for the emperor to build the railway from the capital to Laizhou, the fresh seafood in the hands of Laizhou fishermen, because of the restrictions of transportation conditions, it is difficult to have a particularly good market, and now, after the railway is completed, the development speed of Laizhou has been greatly improved, and the living standards of the people will inevitably become better and better.

Not only Laizhou, but also all the cities along the railway line will achieve rapid economic development, and the people's livelihood will become wider and wider.

In addition to the sea fish, there are many tributes that are loaded together and transported to Chang'an City, if in the past, it takes a lot of time and energy to transport these materials, but now, as long as these materials are loaded on the train, they can be easily transported to the capital, which is convenient and fast and very cost-effective.

Li An lay in the soft sleeper car, comfortably rushed to Chang'an City, along the way, passed the magnificent Jishui Bridge, the Grand Canal Bridge, and many more magnificent bridges.

In addition, the scenery along the way is really very good, there are many places, Li An wants to stop the train and stay to enjoy it, but in order to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible and reunite with his wife, Li An still resisted this thought, after all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is time to go back to reunite with his relatives earlier.

Three days later, the train that Li Ang was taking finally arrived in Chang'an City, and immediately got off the train and went home, bringing some fresh sea fish for his wife to taste.

Most of the sea fish were transported to Daming Palace, these things were dedicated to the emperor, Li An couldn't take too much, and it would be fine to take a little bit, and the emperor was not so stingy and would not care about himself.

Although Li Ang was not a chef in his previous life, his cooking skills were still okay, especially the skills of making sea fish, which were still very powerful, the only regret was that the Tang Dynasty in this era did not have chili peppers, and without this raw material, the taste of making sea fish would be discounted a lot.

There is no way to do it, only when the ten steam ships sent out return from the Americas, and bring back the seeds of chili peppers, which can be planted in the territory of the Tang Empire, and then the people of Datang can eat delicious chili peppers.

Although there is no chili pepper as a very practical and delicious seasoning, Ang Lee's superb cooking skills can make up for the lack of ingredients, so the sea fish made is still very delicious.

Yan Ruyu and the others were all very satisfied, praising Ang Lee's good cooking skills, which made Ang Lee very proud, and at the same time proposed to let them thank themselves.

And the way Li Ang asked for thanks, naturally a few ladies accompanied him to rest, Li Ang likes this kind of left and right hug, and there is a feeling of lying on it, although the three girls of the night are more difficult, but they also enjoy it! The feeling of lying down together as a family and talking about life together is needless to say.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li An went to the R&D center comfortably, and after a casual turn, he went to his workshop, and immediately asked the craftsmen to start manufacturing medicinal jade aquariums according to their own wishes.

At this time, Li An's medicinal jade workshop has developed very maturely, and the technical conditions for making medicinal jade aquarium have been fully satisfied, so there is no need for Li An to spend too much time on research, and after drawing the drawings, it is enough to directly produce it.

"Li Shilang, what are you doing with such a big medicine jade box, what are you going to hold?"

The craftsman was very curious.

"Fish loaders, work hard, and do a good job of these things as soon as possible, this official has an urgent need."

Ang Lee ordered, and after some explanation, he returned to the R&D center and continued to guide the craftsmen there to develop more advanced machinery.

In fact, after returning to the capital, Li An should be the first to see Li Longji, but Li An felt that it was completely unnecessary, the accompanying eunuch must have entered the palace and reported all the situation truthfully, so Li Longji already knew everything, so why did he run over to report it in person?

Besides, Li Longji also knows Li An very well, and knows that there is no big matter, Li An will not enter the palace to find him for no reason, so naturally he will not blame, if he wants to know something, he can naturally send a eunuch to summon him and let Li An come over.

A day later, Ang Lee's workshop had already finished the Yaoyu aquarium and conducted some inspections to determine that there would be no problems, and immediately reported to Ang Lee.

Li An was very happy when he learned that the medicinal jade aquarium was ready, and immediately went over to take a look, and then asked these craftsmen to take this batch of medicinal jade aquarium that had just been made to Daming Palace, where he wanted to give a gift to the emperor.

Since Li Longji had already made a will, as long as Li An brought good things into the palace, there was no need to pass it on, and he could just enter the palace directly.

Therefore, Ang Li went very smoothly, and entered the palace with a group of craftsmen and a finished medicinal jade aquarium.

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty is taking a lunch break, look?"

The little eunuch ran over in small steps, as if he was discussing with Li An.

"Oh, then don't disturb Your Majesty yet, what about the fish? In what place? ”

Li An's purpose is to enter the aquarium, and it is not very important when the emperor will see it, he just needs to do what he should do.

"Fish? What Li Shilang said, but the sea fish brought from Laizhou? ”

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, but still thought of something.

"That's right, those sea fish."

"Oh, in the courtyard here, Li Shilang, please come with me."

The little eunuch took Li An and walked to the place where the fresh sea fish were stored.

"Li Shilang, it's all here."

The little eunuch pointed to the fish in the barrel.

Li An took a look and saw that the sea fish were still alive, so he said: "Put the Yaoyu Aquarium away, move all the sea fish here to the Yaoyu Aquarium, and these wooden guys can be thrown away." ”

"Li Shilang, this ......"

The little eunuch was startled when he saw that Li An was going to move these sea fish, after all, the emperor and the concubine had already seen these sea fish, and they liked these sea fish very much, so that people could take good care of them, if Li An killed these sea fish, the emperor and the concubine would definitely be very unhappy, and his head might not be saved.

"You don't have to worry, the official knows that His Majesty and the concubine like these sea fish very much, so he specially sent the medicinal jade aquarium, which is much better than these rotten wooden barrels, if Your Majesty asks, just say that it is the official's idea."

Li An said very domineeringly.
