It is normal for men and women to love each other, and Yang Zhi understands Yang Hao very well at this age.

In Yang Zhi's position, Yang Hao is still very satisfied with being able to self-discipline for so long.

For his eldest son, with the passage of time, Yang Hao has become more and more determined to be the prince.

Yang Hao has decided to officially announce Yang Zhi to the world as his successor in a few years.

Maybe it's God's favor, although he has three sons, but there is no case of fratricidal brothers for this position.

His second son is obsessed with martial arts and basically knows nothing about politics.

In the future, the arrangement for him may be to be a vassal king overseas, and he can easily live a lifetime.

His youngest son is just six years old, and politics is too far away from him, as a child of the royal family, no matter how bad he is, he can have a bite to eat.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as long as they don't kill each other, Yang Hao feels that his family is relatively harmonious.

Although it is inevitable to stage palace fights between his concubines, there are only a few of his own women, and if he goes too far, Yang Hao can easily find out.

Let the women take care of Yang Hao, even if there is a gap between them, they can generally maintain peace and quiet.

The family and everything are prosperous, there is nothing big in the harem, and Yang Hao feels a lot more relaxed.

As for Yang Zhi's dating, he can only turn a blind eye, if his eldest son is really emotionally attached to that people's girl, he may not fulfill them.

As long as the future crown princess is not the child of an official eunuch, Yang Hao will not mind any status.

The power of the harem is weak, and to a certain extent, it can avoid the situation of the dictatorship of relatives.

Although Yang Hao's women are all powerful, Yang Hao's prestige is too high, and it is easy to deter them.

But it is impossible for his children and grandchildren to have such prestige as himself, which Yang Hao knows very well.

He is not young anymore, and when he reaches middle age, he will naturally think more about the future.

The spring breeze in March blew through the palace, and Yang Hao smiled faintly at the tender willows that had been budding in the courtyard.

Compared with the leisurely life of the people of Chang'an, the expedition team thousands of miles away encountered some troubles.

A few days earlier, a sudden storm had nearly wiped out the fleet.

Although there was no danger and he survived, one ship was so badly damaged that it had lost the ability to continue sailing.

There were only four ships in the fleet, and the loss of one would make sailing more difficult.

Docking the broken boat on the shore, Stony Brook could only let the people of this boat temporarily settle down in this unknown place.

It was already very close to Central America, and by the time he returned a year later, the ship's craftsmen might be able to repair the wrecked ship.

It's not just waiting for the fleet to come back after a year.

They also have an important task to do during this year.

Something like corn potatoes doesn't know exactly where they are.

Those who stay here can get in touch with the local tribes as much as possible, and if necessary, they can teach the natives some Qi techniques in exchange for useful resources.

The fleet's first task this time is to find high-yielding crops, and everything else that doesn't matter can be used as bargaining chips.

Stony Creek stayed here for only one day before continuing to lead the fleet toward the warmer south.

In March, the New World had become a little hot, and the sailors had already taken off their thick winter clothes and put on light summer clothes.

Jiang Liu sat bored on the deck, watching the undulating waves in a daze.

"I wonder if she's pregnant?"

He still can't forget the woman who has been married to him, and whenever he has free time, he can't help but think about it.

At this time, Jiang Liu felt a little strange, and suddenly turned around, only to find that it was an indigenous child looking at him curiously.

When the boy saw that he had been discovered, he quickly shrunk behind the mast.

Jiang Liu smiled at this and beckoned to the child.

The native child hesitated, but still pretended to fold and walked towards the river.

Maybe it's because Jiang Liu, who looks a little younger than the rest of the crew, always makes children feel a little close.

The child stood a little stiffly in front of Jiang Liu, as if he was waiting for a student to speak.

Jiang Liu said: "Why did you stare at me just now? ”

The little boy still couldn't understand Qi and looked at the river a little blankly.

"Hey, it's also a miserable person, it's just that, you can follow me in the future, maybe you can be less bullied."

Jiang Liu didn't care if the boy could understand his own words, for him, the boy was just an audience for his boring life.

As if reminiscing, he told the boy about his experience.

As he spoke, Jiang Liu's mood was a little depressed, it had been more than half a year since he left Qi State, and it had been almost two years since he left his former hometown.

"I don't know if the government gave them the money, hey, I don't know if there is a chance to go back to this cup."

Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.

The little boy seemed to feel the sadness of the river, showed a bright smile, and muttered a lot of words.

Jiang Liu said: "Thank you, I'm fine, but I'm in a bad mood, and you don't have to comfort me." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Liu seemed to think of something, groped in his arms for a while, and took out something wrapped in linen.

"Here, here's the leftover bread from the morning, take it and eat it."

The little boy stared at the dough in Jiang Liu's hand and swallowed violently.

Children like them who were brought onto the ship by the Qi State can be said to be the most underground people in the entire fleet.

Although the Qi people gave them food, they didn't want to eat the same food as those sailors.

Something as valuable as bread was something as valuable, and the little boy could only watch the sailors eat sweetly from afar since he got on board, and he could only hide in the distance and swallow his saliva.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly kind person actually gave himself half a piece of bread.

The little boy tried to reach out to take it, but as soon as his finger touched the dough, he took it back as if he had been electrocuted.

"It's okay, let's eat!"

Jiang Liu smiled and gave the boy an encouraging look.

The boy swallowed, could no longer hold back the thirst for deliciousness, took the bread, and took a hard bite.

Just when Jiang Liu thought that the boy would eat up the bread in the blink of an eye, the boy made a move that surprised him.

The boy took only one bite and carefully put it away.

Jiang Liu gestured with some confusion and asked him why he didn't eat it.

The boy pointed in the direction of the stern of the boat, where two thin figures were wiping the deck in the hot sun.

Jiang Liu understood that he was going to share this hard-won food with his companions, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.

got up and touched the little boy's dirty hair, and said in a deep voice: "Live well, only alive can there be hope." ”
