One month! It took them a month to wipe out all the tribes on the island, and with them all the old and young.

Some of the fast ones have already arrived first, and they happened to build a shed where Cheng Hong cut down the trees, and they also lost that there was no shortage of food in this place, but it was just a matter of eating better and worse!

When one of the natives changed to a pot and stewed in a mess, all the natives burst into great enthusiasm for the pot.

Within a few days, natives with pots on their backs could be seen everywhere, picking up something they thought they could eat, and then setting up a fire to stew it!

Of course, some are okay, and some are purely dark cuisine, Cheng Hong looked at the things they made like, and felt sick to his stomach!

What the hell is this? Could it be that later generations of Indian crafts were learned from here? The good stuff is like vomit, and they are all very happy to eat.

Not only Cheng Hong, but all the people of Datang, were dizzy when they looked at the food of the natives, and finally the fat chef couldn't stand it anymore and showed his hand to this group of natives.

The natives ate the fat chef's meal and immediately offered him up like a tribal chief, and a group of people respected the fat chef more than Cheng Hong, and they had to admire the brain circuits of this group of natives!

With the increase in the number of natives, the number of picks is increasing day by day, and with the addition of 5,000 soldiers with large saws to plow trees, the fleet will soon be full!

The main reason is that this tree occupies too much space, almost the largest load is wood, and this open sea can not be dragged yet, in case of wind and waves, dragging may be able to hit the boat into a big hole!

So it can only be loaded on the ship, in order to load these timbers onto the big ship, Cheng Hong is struggling to brain, but fortunately he brought a lot of iron chains, and directly fixed the wood with iron chains, not afraid of the wind or something to turn the wood upside down!

If this thing is upside down, it's enough to choke anyone by touching it!

Rather than wood, the crew would prefer to pick more spices, because it's expensive! Everyone had as much spices as they could, and even the cabins were stuffed with spices!

made Cheng Hong sneeze a few times every time he got on the boat! The whole ship seems to be marinated with spices, if it weren't for Cheng Hong blocking this group of people who were eager to hollow out the masts and put spices, a group of people who had never seen the world, hum!

Finally, two months after Cheng Hong discovered the island, the ships were full, and now the natives have basically established a regime centered on Cheng Hong's camp!

That indigenous traitor is the leader, because he has been with the Tang people the longest time, and he can more or less understand a little Tang dialect!

Unlike other natives, it takes so long to learn two words, one ~ change! Also a ~ pot!

After the last ship was loaded to the waterline, finally this time the king picking was over, and everyone was still unsatisfied, there was no way, the ship couldn't be loaded!

It is estimated that there is no need to go anymore, it sinks directly, let's put it this way, Cheng Hong even peeled the coconut in order to replenish fresh water, it can be said that this group of people can't wait to go bare-bottomed in order to reduce weight!

You must know that you can hold a pound of spices if you save a pound of space.

When all the natives knew that Cheng Hong was leaving, they almost didn't riot, and they didn't want them to go, although Cheng Hong brought killing, but also brought civilization.

Fine porcelain, beautiful silk, practical cloth, iron pots, kitchen knives......

They didn't have to venture into the woods every day to gather food, and with the way of cooking, they began to eat grains......

Everyone looked at Cheng Hong's big ship, their eyes were deeply reluctant, and finally Cheng Hong called the fat cook and asked the fat cook to tell them: We will come back!

The fat cook explained for a long time with a metaphor, and finally explained it clearly!

With the sound of the horn, Cheng Hong set off for his return, and behind him was the group of natives who were watching Cheng Hong go away on the dock.

The ship slowly accelerated and disappeared into the sea, if nothing else, it is estimated that it will be able to return to Quanzhou in a month! And this time, after pulling so many spices, it is reasonable to go back to Chang'an.

In the steel workshop, in addition to supplying the grassland thin iron pot, Cheng Hong also has to prepare a batch here, and silk cloth must also be requested! You have to get some knives to untie your hand, and there are a lot of things!

In the presence of Hou Si, I don't know if Hou Si's road is smooth or not, along the coast, even if it doesn't go well, there won't be much major event, and these days are calm, at most there is a little rain, the wind is not big, there should be no problem!

Indeed, Hou Si's journey went very smoothly! Walking against the wind, pushing the water wheel without wind, breaking down at night to rest, it is very easy along the way!

It's just that the time is a little longer, and it took less than twenty days to find a place where the boat can be parked, and it took less than 20 days to reach the boundary of Lingnan!

"What's the place ahead? Who knows? How do I look like I've reached our realm? ”

At this time, the captain came over and reported to Hou Siyu: "It seems that the front is the boundary of Lingnan, we seem to have been here during the sea training, and this island seems to be Zhuya County!"

Hou Si listened to the clouds and mountains covered in mist: "Why do you always look like it, are you it?"

The captain said aggrievedly: "I don't know much about this, we came from the west, we used to come from the east, and we usually go back after arriving in Zhuya County!" We haven't been to the west of Zhuya County either! I'll know when we get to the east! ”

Hou Si nodded: "Let's go!"

When he arrived in the east, the captain was so excited that he even changed his voice: "It's here, we're almost home, it's only three days at most, and we'll be able to go to Quanzhou in three days."

We can go to Zhangpu Salt Works in two days at most! If we rush overnight, we can reach Quanzhou in two days! ”

Hou Si shook his head: "One hundred steps and one half ninety!" We've been here all the way, and if we get to the door because we bumped into it overnight, it will make people pick up jokes! Go on a normal course and tell the fleet the good news! ”

"No!" The captain went down in response.

After a while, the whole fleet was cheering!

Sure enough, as the captain expected, he arrived at the Zhangpu Salt Works in less than two days! There is a large queue of boats that come and go to pull salt in the salt works!

All of them were Chen-class battleships, and when they saw Hou Si's fleet coming, they all said hello to them! Of course, this greeting is made in the language of the flag!

At first glance, this pose must be from the boot barracks! It is estimated that the new water army is training their hands!

And the waterway to Quanzhou, in addition to the ships transporting salt, there are also fishing boats! Even Hou Jie saw a Yin-class battleship!

It seems that this shipyard has not been idle during this time!

When the sun set back, Quanzhou Port appeared in front of Hou Si, and after Hou Si docked steadily, a group of people waited below, and Hou Si got off the boat, and Hula surrounded him.

He began to ask, "How many ships are there this time?" Can you leave me a boat? My surname is Xie, Jiangnan Xie! ”

"No! No way! No one can do it, this time you must first satisfy the Datang royal caravan in Chang'an! The rest are ...... in the back row."

Hou Sisi shouted: "Stop!" What are you doing? ”

"Want to buy salt?"

"Do you know what's on my ship?"

"Yanbei, what else could it be? If it was fish, the fishy smell would have come a long time ago! ”

Hou Jie shook his head: "I am traveling with Cheng Dudu to the fleet, and this boat is full of rice!"

"The Fleet?"

"Coming back?"

"Isn't it a lot of walking? Why did you come back so many? ”

Hou Si shook his head: "Cheng Dudu is still walking south, and the first batch to come back behind me will go to pull the grain when the grain is unloaded!"

Hou Si left, leaving a group of merchants who continued to wait for Haiyan......

"Grandpa, the little Hou Si is back!"

Hou Junji squinted his eyes at the gate of the city and nodded: "Hurry up and report it!"

Hou Si ran all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Ke was dealing with official business, and the screen behind him was not calligraphy and painting, but a map of the Seven Star City in Jiangnan East Road.

Li Ke was stunned at first when he saw Hou Si come in, and then he was ecstatic: "You are all back?"

"No, only the small ones and a few boats are back, and the rest are still on the way! All 22 of them were full of rice! ”

Li Ke slapped his face: "Okay!" Now there is finally a source of food! Is rice cheap there? How's your fleet? ”

"Everything in the fleet is fine, but when I went, I encountered a storm and destroyed a few ships, and injured a few people, but after the storm, the governor slept for a day and two nights, and I heard Li Daochang say that it was a puzzle!

If you want to say that this Zhancheng rice, it is really cheap, a kitchen knife can be exchanged for 500 catties of rice, and it is basically in short supply!

There is more rice there than there is sand on the beach! You may not know it, but the rice we went to exchange this time was basically not grown!

It's all wild rice, and the people there don't farm at all, and there is a shortage of food, so it's enough to go to the river beach outside the city and eat it for a while!

When we went, we saw a large area of land overgrown with wild rice, which was pecked by seabirds, and the rest rotted to the ground, sprouted, and gave birth to new rice! ”

Li Ke's face flushed angrily: "How can this be reasonable!" We in the Tang Dynasty worry about food every year, and they actually let the grain rot into the ground? Can we send troops to occupy there? ”

Hou Siyi bowed: "Back to the king's words!" I guess not, we don't have that many people! ”

Li Ke said several times in a row, but there was no good way, so he could only write to the one in Chang'an, and see if there was any good advice!
