Liu Zhang was very excited when he got the news, but Zhang Song and the others didn't understand why Liu Zhang was so excited. To be honest, the current population of Dahan is really not large, so there are naturally more potatoes and planned cultivation of food. Even if there are no potatoes, you only need to persuade farmers to still have enough grain and grass. However, sufficiency and satiation are two different concepts, and even in later generations there are cases of people dying of starvation. Corn is another powerful cash crop, and Liu Zhang can really rest assured after this thing comes back.

"I'm ready to go to Shanghai...... Liu Zhang was silent for more than half a year, and finally couldn't help but go out to wave, nesting in Chang'an as if he was in captivity.

Wang Yi and the others like this kind of ordinary day, they are busy every day but they are not very busy, and they still have fun to go in their spare time. This kind of day is what most people in Dahan like, but it's too monotonous. Even though Liu Zhang has initiated a lot of sports, such as basketball and football? But this only enriches folk activities, and Liu Zhang still seems very lonely. These things make Liu Zhang have no fun at all, I am afraid that he can only eat and eat in this life.

"Your Majesty is so pleased? What good things did those fleets bring back? Wu Yi said that she couldn't understand it at all, what was the good thing that made Liu Zhang so happy? Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao also probed over, Liu Zhang should have something good to do if he is so happy, right?

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Of course there are good things, let you try the real hot pot this time." "The hot sucking sensation feels like I haven't experienced it for a long time.

The women looked at each other, although they didn't understand very well, but they seemed to be very powerful. After explaining a few things in China, Liu Zhang slipped away. At this moment, the road has long been opened to Jingzhou, and although it is not enough to see the road construction for more than ten years, the main road is almost completed.

Liu Zhang doesn't need to worry about things in the future, these are the affairs of parents and officials everywhere. Because they are rich and each state has its own way of making money, road construction is naturally their business. The existence of the road has greatly strengthened the exchanges between various places and greatly enriched the output of various places.

"Is it really comfortable to repair this road?" Liu Zhang is still very happy in his heart, although the steam car is not fast, it is also a good thing that it can keep driving. You can enjoy the scenery along the way, whether it is a rice field or a deserted road, these are still very good to look at from the back of the car.

Walking on the road of Shanghai, the prosperity here already has a bit of a Chang'an feeling. Merchants from all over the world said something unpleasant, and they couldn't get to Chang'an. Whether it was the merchants from Rome or from India from Egypt, the things they brought could not leave Shanghai at all, and they were directly taken over by the merchants of the Han Dynasty. Of course, they can also buy directly in Shanghai, and then they can go home.

If you want to go to Chang'an, there is no problem, but it will delay business. So it is conceivable that Shanghai is busy, but it also increases the prosperity of Shanghai. In just two or three years, there is already a sense of urbanization. The original fishing village has changed a lot, and it is constantly expanding into it. I'm afraid it won't be long before Shanghai becomes the second major city. Compared to the inland, this kind of place is really developing fast, and the inland is only a local merchant exchange, but here it is a merchant from all nearby countries. This is still part of Panyu, otherwise there are more people here.

"Your Majesty......" Huang Quan was busy and wanted to come to see Liu Zhang in person, he would not doubt the ability of this majesty. But he still can't do anything about Liu Zhang's ability to run around.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "How long will it take for those ships to come back?" "It should be fast to travel a thousand miles at sea, right? To be reasonable, it should have arrived in the next two days, and I heard that the local peppers will be very spicy.

Huang Quan said directly: "It is estimated that there are still about four days, and there is no way to hinder the transmission of information at sea. ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "It's a good thing, if this boat can bring back half of what I need, then Dahan will no longer lack food to eat." ”

Huang Quan said in surprise: "Your Majesty is no longer short of food in the country now......

Liu Zhang stood on the beach and looked into the distance and said, "There is not enough food, and now we are just filling our stomachs." In the future, we should eat well to make our bodies stronger. "You can't drink milk less, and meat is even more indispensable, especially this beef.

In the next few days, Liu Zhang saw the busyness here, and felt that this city was indeed a fast-paced life. It can be said that it is not suitable for Liu Zhang, watching others busy and feeling a little idle. Every day except waiting, you can only wait here.

At noon on the fourth day, messengers came to report that the ship had returned. Liu Zhang led people to the shore at this time, and you can see it very clearly here. The originally bright treasure ship in the distance now feels a little dilapidated, and there is no damage to the hull, but there are many more marine creatures.

After a closer look, only seven treasure ships had returned. Liu Zhang chuckled in his heart, shouldn't the rest be destroyed? If that's the case, it's a bit bad, Liu Zhang stood at the bow of the ship and watched the men slowly enter the port. At this moment, Liu Zhang felt a little excited, could the Great Voyage be regarded as his own start?

As the seven ships docked, the captains came down one after another. Huang Quan immediately walked over and asked, "Zhang Shu, what about the other ten treasure ships?" Liu Zhang stood aside and didn't ask, he didn't need to come forward for this matter.

That Zhang Shu hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, we followed the map all the way to find that piece of land, there is really an incredible continent there, and there are many things drawn by Your Majesty. We searched a lot at first, and then we went against other natives in the process of collecting. Those people are not our opponents at all, and we have taken quite a few prisoners. Finally we set up a camp, so we loaded a bunch of stuff and came back first, and they stayed there. These seven ships are full of things drawn by His Majesty...... "They are very protective of these things."

Liu Zhang walked over at this time and looked at them one by one. Although there is fish and meat in the sea, it doesn't feel good if they eat too much, but it is indeed a surprise that they can bring back so many things.

"Good, very good. You have done a very good job, and I am very rewarded. "It's impossible to be a marquis or something, but it's no problem to give a fictitious official position.

As the group chanted, the ship's contents were also removed. The things in it are all stored according to their own requirements, and what excites Liu Zhang the most is the appearance of peppers, pumpkins, corn, and rubber. As for sweet potatoes, peanuts, sunflowers, pineapples, pomegranates, and other vegetables, they are nothing. It's better to have these things, and it doesn't matter if you don't have them.

There are many, very many dried chili peppers, so many that a whole boatload is full of them. Liu Zhang picked up a bright red pepper, took a bite, and the spicy burst straight to his head. Snot and tears appeared in an instant, and the feeling was really joyful. Huang Quan was a little confused, so he also took a bite, and in an instant, Huang Quan's snot and tears poured out. Because Liu Zhang knew, he was on guard. But Huang Quan had never eaten this thing at all, and the feeling of burning fire made him can't help but pour several sips of tea.

Wang Yi and the others who followed over also learned from Liu Zhang to bite it slightly, and then all these women spit out. This stuff is really unpalatable, and that feeling is really uncomfortable. Liu Zhang looked at this group of people and couldn't help but laugh: "Good thing! For other crops, I wrote out how to plant them, and quickly arranged for people to plant them here in Panyu and Shanghai. The excess seeds were sent to Jingzhou and Xiliang for planting. ”

In summer, it can only be planted here in Panyu, and it can be planted everywhere in the spring of next year. At that time, Liu Zhang was no longer afraid of no food, corn and pumpkin were both high-yield crops, and Liu Zhang's worries were much less as soon as these two artifacts came out.

The matter here was arranged by Huang Quan, but Liu Zhang took his own people to prepare a pot of chili oil. Now grind these small peppers into powder and then prepare a generous amount of oil. Once the oil is boiling hot, pour in the chili powder. Looking at the rising smoke and the choking smell, Liu Zhang knew that he had a big meal to eat tonight.

The group of women stood behind Liu Zhang, watching Liu Zhang command the attendant's constant modulation. How scary does this thing feel so red and glamorous? Finally, the high-quality butter was prepared, and it was originally intended to be consumed, but unfortunately it was too far away. I didn't know when I would come back, so I didn't think about preparing, but the butter wasn't bad.

Waiting for the chili oil to cool, Liu Zhang's sesame paste was also boiled. After nightfall, Liu Zhang's mansion started a hot pot feast, looking at the churning red oil on one side and the clear soup on the other side, several women sat on the other side. To be honest, they are a little cowardly, and they feel very uncomfortable when they try it for the first time.

Seeing that the oil pot was good, Liu Zhang didn't care about them. He took the lead in putting in beef slices, mutton slices and the like, and after the meat slices were cooked, Liu Zhang dipped some sauce and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it's a familiar recipe with a familiar taste, and this kind of thing is really delicious. At this moment, Liu Zhang was even a little moved, although the appearance of chili peppers is not important, but this is a symbol of a milestone after all. After sighing, Liu Zhang began to feast.

Several women on one side looked at each other, is this thing really that delicious? They hesitated for a moment, and the boldest Cai Yan picked up a piece from Liu Zhang's pot, dipped it in a little sauce and took a bite. The spicy feeling instantly filled his mouth, and he barely swallowed it, and Cai Yan poured several mouthfuls of water in an instant. This stuff is too unpalatable, isn't it? It felt terrible, coughing and drinking......
