Chapter 142: Seeking Plans!
"What the prince taught me is that the family teacher passed away early, and there are fewer people to urge him, so the kid will inevitably be a little slack in the past few months!"
When you encounter this situation, you can't reason, quibble, and make all kinds of excuses with your elders, following their words, taking retreat as advance is the best choice, this is all Li Zexuan's experience summed up in countless "struggles"!
"Haha, the son can be taught!"
Li Xiaogong's hearty laughter soared into the sky, he patted Li Zexuan on the shoulder, and said, "This king knows that you have been arranged by His Majesty to serve in the Guozijian, but you also have to take time to practice martial arts!" Belch...... Ahem, this king is a bit nosy, don't blame you! ”
Li Xiaogong said and thought that he was not specifically here to preach, but had other things, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"Where did the prince say, you can mention some kid, the kid is already grateful! You please use tea! Uncle Qin, you also use tea! ”
Although Li Zexuan slandered in his heart, he quietly poured a cup of tea for the two of them and served it personally.
Taking the teacup, Qin Qiong began to get down to business.
"Xiao Xuan, the old man and the prince are here to exchange food for the south this time, there are some things that the prince needs to ask you in person, I hope you can answer truthfully, some things are related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!"
Li Xiaogong also nodded, and said: "Shubao is right, the prophecy of the locust plague was mentioned by you, and the three strategies for controlling the locust were also thought of by you. ”
Li Zexuan had already expected it, and arched his hand and said: "If the prince has something, please ask, the kid must know everything, and he will say everything!" ”
"Good!"
Li Xiaogong pondered for a moment, his sharp gaze stayed on Li Zexuan's face for a while, and then he said: "Boy, you told Your Majesty that there will be a locust plague in June next year, and since Your Majesty and several important ministers believe in you, then the old man will also believe you, but how do you know that the small country in Nanyang is rich in grain, could it be that you have also gone to sea?" ”
Li Zexuan felt Li Xiaogong's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to hesitate more, and the relevant thoughts in his mind flashed away, and he replied. "In his later years, the teacher did take the kid to travel around the world, and he went to a small country in Nanyang a few times, and he knew a little about the customs and customs of that place, and he was indeed amazed at the rice that was ripe three times a year!" ”
"And how did you get out to sea?"
Lee Hyo-kung then asked.
"Merchant ships, a medium merchant ship about seven or eight zhang long and more than one zhang wide, I and my family teacher and I entered the Yangtze River from Yuezhou (the Yangtze River was referred to as the Yangtze River in ancient times, and the Great River and the Yangtze River were called after the Six Dynasties, that is, after the Sui Dynasty), and went down the river, all the way through Ezhou, Hongzhou, Xuanzhou, and from Yangzhou into the East China SeaAfter two months of traveling around the countries of the South China Sea, Master and I turned back the same way. ”
Boasting is better than not asking for money, and lying without blinking, this is Li Zexuan's current state, no way, don't say the truth, Li Xiaogong definitely doesn't believe it, and if he doesn't want to go, it's over, of course, he just made up his experience, he didn't talk nonsense, it was a route that he came up with after careful consideration.
Li Xiaogong touched the three-inch beard on his chin, and fell into deep thought, he had never been to the sea, so he naturally didn't know if what Li Zexuan said was true or false.
"Boy, can you draw a chart for this king? To tell the truth, although this king has commanded the naval army many times, but has never been to the sea, for the risk of the sea, this king has only heard, has not experienced, with accurate charts, this team to the south, the risk will be much smaller. ”
Li Xiaogong thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find the loophole in Li Zexuan's words, so he said the most important purpose of his trip.
Li Zexuan thought about it seriously, in his previous life, he studied geography very well, after high school Chinese science division, he once complained, why science students do not study geography, to study biology, it is really a pit! Now with his perverted spiritual power, it should be no problem to recall a rough nautical chart, at most ask others when the time comes, what are the names of some places in the Tang Dynasty, and it is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, this map must be drawn!
"The boy is willing to serve, the prince can go back and stay for two days, and after the boy is finished, he will send someone to send the chart to the palace." The boy will do his best to remember these two days and make sure that the charts are as detailed and accurate as possible! ”
Li Xiaogong said politely with a smile on his face: "Then there is Lao Xiaoxuan!" ”
Li Zexuan didn't dare to say again, he hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Lord Wang, in fact, regarding navigation, the kid thinks that there are several aspects, and the Lord must pay attention to it, otherwise the crew will lose a lot like the soldiers at that time." ”
"Oh~? Then Xiaoxuan, come quickly, if it is reasonable, this king will definitely do it! ”
Li Xiaogong held the hand of the teacup, slammed it, and said hurriedly.
Li Zexuan nodded secretly, Li Xiaogong's performance shows that he really loves soldiers like a son, otherwise he would not be so polite to himself by virtue of his body as a prince.
"First, the fleet should bring enough fresh water and food, I don't say this, the prince must be able to think of it. Second, the fleet must not go far along the coast, so that, on the one hand, the fleet can dock to shelter in the event of strong winds and waves, and on the other hand, when the fleet is insufficient, it can also dock at any time to replenish.
Third, all crew members must eat fruit every day, and the master once said that if the crew of an ocean voyage does not eat fresh fruit for a long time, they will suffer from sepsis, and in serious cases, they will lose their lives. ”
"Hiss~!"
Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong gasped.
"How can there be such a thing?"
Li Xiaogong looked incredulous.
Li Zexuan nodded with great certainty, and said: "This is indeed the case, the family was also a holy hand of medicine and Taoism when he was born, what his old man said, Uncle Qin and the prince should always believe it, right?" ”
"Believe it, of course the old man believes it."
Qin Qiong nodded and said.
"This king also believes, and when the time comes, he will do as you say."
"Well, fourth, ocean navigation is a very lonely and lonely thing, and long-term loneliness can easily make people mentally problematic. Many of the crew did not die of wind and waves, nor of sepsis, but eventually died of insanity, that is, insaneness. So the kid hopes that on the one hand, the prince can organize more crew members to communicate together, and on the other hand, take advantage of the shore to replenish, and let the crew go ashore to rest and recuperate. ”
"This kind of thing, this king has heard of it, but I didn't expect that your knowledge is quite broad, boy!"
Li Xiaogong touched his chin and sighed in admiration.
"The prince has won the award, and his five ........"
