"This ......" Hearing Li Xiu's inquiry, Zhang Shiyi suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but then returned to normal, "Almost, this trip to the Americas is far smoother than we imagined, but because of some things, I came back first, my father and their ship is still behind, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come back."

"Great! Fast! Tell me about your experience at sea! Li Xiu also shouted excitedly when he heard this, and as for the bruises on Zhang Shiyi's face, he directly ignored it, after all, he had been looking forward to this matter for too long.

Seeing that Li Xiu was so excited that he forgot to take the ointment for himself, Zhang Shiyi was also a little speechless, fortunately, he always had some medicine on him, and at that moment he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and explained while rubbing the medicine for himself: "In August this year, that is, when autumn was just coming, my father and I set off for the east coast of the Japanese country, and we originally planned to stay there for a while before leaving for the Americas, but later we found out that ......"

According to Zhang Shiyi, because the autumn of this year came relatively early and the sea was relatively calm, the bearded guest immediately decided to leave for the Americas after arriving on the east coast of the Japanese Kingdom.

On such a sunny morning, the bearded man left the country with his fleet, having already found the current that Li Xiu had said could reach the Americas. In Li Xiu's opinion, as long as the bearded guests entered the current, the entire fleet did not need to do anything else, just wait for the current to bring them to their destination.

However, in fact, it is not as simple as Li Xiu imagined, after they enter the ocean current, they still need to be mentally prepared for the dangers that may be encountered at sea, such as strong winds, thunderstorms, huge waves, etc., if they are a little more unlucky, they may even encounter an undersea volcanic eruption, so as to witness the formation of an island, of course, the premise is that the fleet must be far enough away from the volcano, otherwise they will also become part of the island.

In addition to unpredictable natural risks, in addition, the fleet will encounter more dangers from within during the voyage, such as food and fresh water, in the humid environment at sea, both food and fresh water are easy to spoil and deteriorate, among which the food is better, there are many protective measures, but drinking water is more troublesome, and it is generally inconvenient to raise fire on the ship, so even if the water has been boiled, it will still stink or even turn green after being stored for a period of time, but in order to survive, the crew must overcome these dietary difficulties, Drink even stinky water.

Compared with the diet, there is a greater danger, that is, from within the crew, as a crew, not only have to bear high-intensity labor every day, but also have to endure a bad diet, in addition, after going to sea, the loneliness and depression of driving on the vast sea has also been eroding the hearts of the crew, under this strong pressure, it is likely to make the crew become irritable and arrogant, and they may even do their own actions if they disagree, and there may even be riots, as well as the kind of collective mental breakdown similar to the camp roar.

The bearded man has a lot of sailing experience, so when he went to sea this time, he selected some experienced old crew members, but this time it was the farthest they had traveled and stayed at sea for the longest time, so this voyage was a huge test for everyone in the fleet.

For the risks encountered by the fleet on the road, Zhang Shiyi picked out a few more serious risks and talked about them, such as on the tenth day after they left the Japanese country, they encountered a violent gale, which caused two ships that were relatively close to each other to be unable to control the direction, and as a result, they collided together, one of the ships was knocked out of a big hole and sank on the spot, and the crew on the ship only rescued a small part, and the other ship was lucky, although it was damaged, but it could still hold on after repairing it afterwards.

In addition, they also encountered a thunderstorm at sea, the sea was full of black and oppressive dark clouds, countless thick thunderbolts rolled in the clouds, and from time to time there were thunderbolts falling on the sea, which made the bearded man also frightened and hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn, so he even did not hesitate to deviate from the original course, but the thundercloud moved too fast, and finally the fleet was still rubbed to one side by the thundercloud, as a result, a ship was hit by lightning and caught fire, and several crew members were killed on the spot by thunder.

In the end, although the fire on the ship was extinguished, the ship's losses were not small, and after tinkering and persisting for some time, the bearded man finally decided to abandon the ship and distribute the crew and supplies on the other ships.

Above are the two biggest disasters they have ever encountered, losing a total of two boats, but they chose the right time to go to sea, and they also made adequate preparations, otherwise the losses they encountered might be even greater, or even the whole army was wiped out at sea. In addition, they encountered some other difficulties, but the losses were not significant.

However, after going through many difficulties, the fleet of the bearded man finally reached the Americas, when they saw the Americas for the first time, they thought it was a big island in the sea, but later found out that this was the American continent they were looking for, which made the bearded man and the others also excited, and then they began to go south along the American continent, because Li Xiu had told him in advance that most of the high-yield crops needed were produced in South America, and they could only reach North America along the ocean current.

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sit up straight, hoping to hear a wonderful story of exploring in a strange continent, but to his surprise, Zhang Shiyi only roughly described their voyage on the west coast of America, and then said that they had arrived in Central and South America, where there were many indigenous tribes, and even some tribes had established cities and countries, and they also found the high-yield crops they needed there.

"Corn and peppers are the easiest to find, we used a little cloth to get a lot from the natives, and then the sweet potatoes were also found, but the potatoes have not been found, my father wants to have a good relationship with the natives there, and by the way, look for potatoes and other crops that have not been found, so we divide the fleet into two parts, and those high-yield crops are also divided into two parts, so that even if one fleet has a problem and cannot come back, the other fleet can bring back high-yield crops." Zhang Shiyi finally concluded.

"That's it...... It's that simple? After listening to it, Li Xiu said a little unfinished, just now Zhang Shiyi described in great detail the hardships when they went to the Americas, but after arriving in the Americas, he only used a paragraph to bring it simply, which always made him feel a little abnormal.

"Of course, there were some difficulties, but we were able to overcome them and finally get the crops you needed!" Zhang Shiyi blinked his eyes and replied, but his expression was a little unnatural, which made Li Xiu even more determined that the other party must have something to hide from him.

"Eleventh brother, when will he come back?" Li Xiu asked a little vigilantly at this time, the bearded guest did not come back with Zhang Shiyi, which made Li Xiu a little worried about whether something had happened to him?

"It will take about a month or two, I have been resting in Nanyang for a while after I came back, and I was going to wait for my father to come back to see you, but there were some problems with the crop seeds that I brought, so I had to come to you in advance!" Zhang Shiyi opened his mouth and replied, his expression was not unusual when he mentioned his father, which made Li Xiu finally breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that his guess was wrong, the bearded guest should be fine, but Zhang Shiyi is definitely hiding something?

"Where are those seeds now, and what's going on?" Li Xiu finally asked with concern at this time, since the bearded guest was fine, his attention had finally shifted to those seeds, if something went wrong with the seeds that had been transported from thousands of miles away, resulting in the inability to plant, it would really make people want to cry without tears!

"I'm afraid of delaying the time, so the seeds are also shipped with me, I took a step to your house to surprise you, but I didn't expect to be beaten, it is estimated that the person who transports the seeds is about to arrive, as for the problem of seeds, you will know when you see it!" Zhang Shiyi spoke again, if it weren't for the problems with those seeds, he wouldn't have rushed in during the festival.

"Great, I can't wait to see those seeds with my own eyes!" Li Xiu couldn't help but stand up excitedly when he heard this, and then walked back and forth in the living room for a few steps, and suddenly thought that this good news should be known to Princess Pingyang, so he turned his head to Zhang Shiyi again, "Brother Eleven, you have worked hard all the way, I will let people prepare wine and food for you, you use it slowly, I will tell the princess this good news!" ”

"Okay, I hope your wine and food are not adulterated with poison!" Zhang Shiyi glanced at Li Xiu when he heard this, and sent food seeds to Li Xiu thousands of miles away, but he was beaten for no reason, and he was beaten by a group of women, which made him still unable to swallow this breath, but there was no way but to sneer at Li Xiu and let out his anger.

Li Xiu was in a hurry to see Princess Pingyang at this time, he didn't care about Zhang Shiyi's words at all, and strode out of the living room at the moment, at this time the lantern viewing in the front yard had ended, after all, there were guests at home, naturally they couldn't be so unorthodox, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang They probably also went back to the inner house, and then Li Xiu went to find Yuechan first, and asked her to prepare some wine and food to send to the living room, and then went to the inner house.

When Li Xiu found Princess Pingyang, he found that she was chatting with Yi Niang, and she seemed to be very happy, which made Li Xiu feel a little emotional, or feudal society, this kind of scene can only be seen in this feudal era, if it is placed in the later generations when women's rights are rampant, I am afraid they have begun to start to do it in real terms.

"Princess, the grain seeds from the Americas have been shipped back!" I saw Li Xiu excitedly stepped forward and said loudly. (To be continued.) )
