Chapter 19 Achievement of Purpose
"If you want to follow me, you two have to learn to ride a horse first, I don't want to go anywhere, I have to ride a horse with you." Zhang Hao laughed.
Looking at the firm expressions of the two, Zhang Hao knew that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier, and as more and more people ate with him, Zhang Hao would often think about his future path.
In the past, they didn't have too many burdens on their own, but now, these people have decided to follow them, and they have to bear their due responsibilities.
The troubled times are coming, it is not easy to keep these people, and Zhang Hao still wants to make their lives richer, which is even more difficult.
"My lord, I feel like I can ride a horse." Actuna said excitedly.
"I'm feeling pretty much better, too." Mulhaqin also nodded.
"Oh?" Zhang Hao looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"My lord, we ride with adults every day, and we are already basically familiar with the habits of horses, and we have also experienced the adults driving horses up close, so I think we can ride them ourselves." Moore explained.
"Okay, I'll let you two try it tomorrow." Zhang Hao said happily.
The others also looked at the two brothers expectantly, wondering if they could surprise everyone.
Before leaving the next day, Zhang Hao brought two spare horses and asked them to try it.
The two eagerly looked at the horses, took the reins, quickly turned over on the horse, and were a little unsteady at first, but after getting used to it for a while, the two rode steadily on the horse, looking at everyone proudly.
"Come on, let's try a lap." Zhang Hao said, riding his own horse and guarding the two of them.
Hearing this, the two of them ran out with their legs clamping the horse's belly, and Zhang Hao was on the side, ready to rescue the two at any time, and at the same time pointed out the shortcomings of the two.
After coming back in a circle, although the two of them are not skilled, they are simply in a hurry, and they are no problem at all without encountering emergencies.
The team set off, although Huck and Moore didn't need to be led this time, they still had Zhao Yun and Zhang Hao by their side, just in case.
When everyone is in the modern Bering Strait, it is the middle of winter, and it is close to the North Pole, and the sea is covered with a thick layer of ice.
It is the closest place to the Asian continent and the American continent, the closest point is only a few tens of kilometers, and there are two large islands in the middle of the sea.
Everyone was stationed on the beach, Zhang Fei volunteered to explore the way ahead, and in less than half a day, Zhang Fei had already run to the middle island and came back.
"No problem, it's sturdy." Zhang Feiren arrived before he arrived.
"Yide has worked hard, rest for a while, the others will tidy up, and we will rest on the middle island tonight." Zhang Hao commanded, and everyone began to get busy.
When this side was cleaned up, Zhang Fei was almost rested, and everyone set off and quickly passed through the frozen sea.
Although the ice was solid and Zhang Fei had explored it again, in order to avoid accidents, everyone still did not dare to delay a little, and it was not until they landed on the island that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Zhang Fei explored the way, everyone passed quickly, when stepping on the land of America, Zhang Hao often exhaled a breath and looked into the distance.
"Full speed ahead, go furthest first, and gather what you need when you come back." Zhang Hao commanded, and the first one rushed out.
Others followed, heading south until they reached the rainforests of South America.
"That's it, there's not much point in going any further, rest today, start tomorrow, look for what is useful to take away, and explore back little by little." Zhang Hao said,
After a long period of cooperation, there is no need for Zhang Hao to arrange again, each performing its own duties, and the camp will soon be set up.
This tropical rainforest is known as the "biological gene pool" of about 150,000 plant species known worldwide, and at least 300,000 species can be found in rainforest areas.
Zhang Hao looked at the forest in front of him, looking forward to the scene of solving the famine of the people in the Central Plains, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's spectacular."
"There is such an amazing place in the world."
"Look there, what a pretty flower."
"What's that?"
Everyone let out bursts of admiration, looking east and west with curiosity.
"Be careful, there are many poisonous insects and beasts here that we haven't seen before, and as far as I know, the more you look at something bright, the more dangerous it is." Zhang Hao said.
"Your Excellency, have you been here before?" Huck asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, Zihan, how do you know about this place." Zhang Fei also asked innocently.
The others also looked at Zhang Hao with curiosity.
"Uh......" Zhang Hao was speechless for a while.
"When I was young, I met an immortal, and the immortal told me that there was such a place." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.
For people in this era, they are very superstitious, and they are deeply convinced of those gods and ghosts.
"This wouldn't be the residence of the immortals, otherwise how could it be so magnificent."
"Will we meet immortals here?"
"The residence of the immortals is not here, you can't meet the immortals, but there is a great possibility of encountering the natives." Zhang Hao hurriedly explained.
He didn't want these people around him to worship them like immortals when they met those natives, Zhang Hao felt goosebumps when he thought about that picture.
"What if we meet an indigenous."
"We try to avoid contact with them, try not to have a conflict if we do, but if they want to hurt you, we will kill them."
Zhang Hao was just here to find a way to solve the problem of food shortage in the Central Plains, and he didn't want to disturb the lives of the people here, but since Zhao Yun was injured, he didn't want anyone around him to be hurt.
After resting for one night, the next day Zhang Hao did not rush to let everyone start exploring, but led everyone to build a decent camp, build a wooden house, and clean up a small courtyard.
After it was built, he began to take the people to explore the camp as the center.
The most excited is Hua Tuo, since he started exploring, he only sleeps two or three hours a day, follows everyone to explore during the day, and at night he keeps studying the plants he picks back.
But sometimes he would sigh because he found that there were many plants that could be used in medicine, but he could not take them away, such as some leaves that could be used in medicine, but he could not bring the trees back.
After more than half a year of exploration, everyone collected thousands of plant seeds, rhizomes, and some herbs, which could not be transplanted, while Hua Tuo frantically collected and dried them well, and brought as many as they could.
And what excites Zhang Hao the most is that his main target has been found, looking at the pile of potatoes, a pile of sweet potatoes, and a pile of corn in front of him, Zhang Hao smiled.
As long as there are these three, it is enough, if the planting can be promoted, it is enough to solve the food problem, and Zhang Hao does not care about the rest.
