Chapter 414: Hard Won
The items brought down by the guards from the boats, from large and small, from left to right, were arranged all over the dock in order, and even the large rats and cockroaches caught on the ship were also placed in a pile, but the whereabouts of not a single grain of corn or potato were found.

Hao Ren regretted his past relationship with Fang Guozhen, at least, he shouldn't blindly use overseas wealth to bewitch Fang Guozhen, and he should have told Fang Guozhen bluntly about his thirst for corn and potato seeds.
But who would have thought that Fang Guozhen would be able to fly across the sea to the Americas, and actually miraculously come back.
The size of one seed is very small, and even if the entire ship eats up the food, it is entirely possible for me to carry one or two of all the items.
"Search, search carefully for me, don't turn over a corner!" Hao Ren's face was unusually calm, and he pointed at the items on the dock with a horsewhip, and ordered the guards.
The guards took the order and took the lead in pouring the leftmost sacks to the ground, and Hao Ren only felt that a golden light in front of him was extremely dazzling.
Under the sun's radiance, the hill-like gold was piled up in front of him, and the crowd of onlookers on the pier couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Dozens of large and small sacks were filled with gold jewelry that I don't know if Fang Guozhen brought back from the Americas, or if Fang Guozhen got it in Fusang, flew across the sea to the Americas, and brought it back from the Americas, but according to Hao Ren's inference about the gold artifacts, there should be both.
Hao Ren ordered the guards of the Chinese army to pick out the gold, jewelry, and utensils one by one, hoping to find the seeds they needed in the end.
Fang Guozhen's subordinates, who were originally placed in the barracks on the dock for food, heard the crowds on the dock, and approached one after another, seeing a person, who was moving the jewels they brought back from nine deaths, and the sailor's eyes were glowing green, and he shouted, "Ahh
These sailors who have died for a lifetime, even human beings, naturally do not fear any life and death, and the barrels of the guns raised by the Chinese army guards have no deterrent effect on these life-playing soldiers. Perhaps, they don't know what the concept of muskets is, as long as the gunner's trigger is pulled, it will pierce a bloody hole in the human body, or perhaps, they have already regarded gold as more important than life, and put life and death out of the way.
"All assistants!" Hao Ren hurriedly ordered!
In Hao Ren's view, these sailors who died for a lifetime mostly did piracy overseas, but for the Heavenly Dynasty that opened up the sea frontier, they were full of heroes, at least exploring the feasibility of sailing to the Americas.
These well-trained sailors are masters of navigation who have been eliminated by life and death, and they can't be trained by spending more money, how could Hao Ren be willing to kill any of them? It's useful to keep it in the future.
In the later Age of Discovery, whether it was Columbus or da Gama, which one was not a pirate? The aborigines who brought the profound disaster to the exploration land, Fang Guozhen's actions are probably much more upright than them, especially Fang Guozhen and the natives of the Americas, who have the same color of skin.
As soon as Hao Ren gave the order, the guards on the dock who were looking for seeds also stopped, and put their hands on the handle of their knives, ready to fight at any time, while the guards in the outer realm formed a human wall to block the sailors outside.
Although the sailors killed people without blinking, they did not dare to rashly make a move against the powerful army, especially Hao Ren's cold drink from a high position for a long time, with a full domineering spirit, the sailors did not dare to send them to death.
"The goods on the ship were bought by you with the corpses of your companions and your own blood, I will not fight you for these riches, I only need to look for two seeds, if you can provide information, I will reward him heavily, as long as you provide the food you have hidden privately, I will thank him heavily!" Hao Ren said to the sailors.
"Nonsense!" A rebellious sailor said: "If there is still some food, it will not starve so many brothers to death, nor will it kill each other, as for eating ......" At this, the sailor's expression darkened, and it was obvious that he could not talk about his cruelty.
Another sailor, while trying to break through the human wall to protect the jewels, said: "We still have thousands of brothers left in the wilderness, Fang Dashuai wants to use this gold to build a sea ship and take those brothers back, I swear in the honor of my quartermaster, there is no private food in the army, and it will be eaten equally at sea!" ”
It was in the crowded process that three wrinkled, sprouted potatoes rolled out of the sleeves of the sailor who swore by honor, and all eyes were almost focused on the three potatoes that were rolling in the third, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
This quartermaster's oath is more broken than Fang Guozhen's oath, and just after saying it, his lie will be self-defeating.
Hao Ren spent too much effort in order to get a seed. Hu Boyan once brought back corn from the South China Sea, but it was only fried popcorn, and these three potato seeds had already sent out dense shoots, as long as they were transplanted into the soil, they would surely survive.
The rebellious sailor just now grabbed the quartermaster's shirt and clenched his fists to beat: "Okay, you Wang Mazi, no wonder you are so fat, and your feelings are your own private food?" If I had asked you and you had taken it out earlier, would my brother have starved to death? ”
Wang Mazi naturally refused to give in, and between the two of them, they had already stepped on a potato to smash, but fortunately, Chen Xian, a member of the Su Wei Qianhu, had already pinched the two potatoes in his hands, flashed into the crowd, and presented the two potatoes in front of Hao Ren.
Wang Mazi secretly hid food, causing public outrage among the pirates, and when the dock garrison separated the crowd, Wang Mazi had already fallen in a pool of blood and lost his breath.
Hao Ren's fateful guards turned over all the items on the ship, except for a pair of gold and jewelry, they couldn't even find a grain of corn seeds, so they could only return the gold, silver and jewelry, and take a pair of guards and two potatoes and go straight back to Luzhou.
Hao Ren hurriedly ordered someone to find sandy soil, cut the two potatoes into seven, and planted them in two different places, and took care of the queen Chen Xiaoyu and Guifei Cui Sleeves respectively, and repeatedly told the planting method to ensure survival, before returning to the small living room and wanting to talk to Fang Guozhen again.
In the small living room trembling in the snoring, it had already become stinky, and the Fang brothers threw down the chewed bones all over the table, threw aside the Handi boots that they hadn't taken off for an unknown amount of time, and the two curled up on the chairs, sleeping with their heads covered.
Hao Ren couldn't bear to be disturbed, but two fresh lyrics flashed in his mind: "The sea breeze blows gently, the waves you shake gently, let us sailors sleep well!" ”
"Brother-in-law, what do you think this is?" Chen Xian said, holding a stinky boot, turning the boots upside down, and a handful of yellow, orange and orange corn seeds were already scattered on the desk.
I don't know if it's the one of the Fang brothers, in the sandwich of the boots, he hid corn grains as spare food.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Hao Ren didn't feel a trace of excitement at this time, but felt very sad.
"Is it worth sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers for a few seeds?"
However, Hao Ren immediately changed his way of thinking, and said in his heart: "Tens of thousands of Fang family soldiers did not die in vain, at least they brought back crop seeds to improve the planting structure of the Han land!" Thinking about it like this, Hao Ren's heart was also calm.
