'What the hell have you encountered?' The place where today's banquet is held is not the Lin De Hall that was sent off at the beginning, but the Hanyuan Hall. Although www.biquge.info this is a place to hold a meeting, as long as there is a table and a mat on the ground, it can become a place for banquets.

Originally, I didn't have to book a place here, but there were too many people. Li Chen greeted the expedition team back today, they discovered the new continent, and not only that, but also brought back a huge amount of gold. The gold of dozens of ox carts blinded them.

If it weren't for the military salute and the cannon salute, many people would have been scared away, and maybe there would have been a stampede, in order to get close to see this grand occasion. Even, maybe there will be a robbery, although there is a Shence army, this possibility is very low, but it will inevitably cause greater casualties, so Li Chen inadvertently came out to greet the etiquette and prevent a possible tragedy.

However, this is not over, when the convoy passes through the most lively Tonghua Street in Chang'an, more and more people are watching. The shops on both sides, the first and second floors, were crowded with people, and some people were even squeezed down, falling from the second floor, crushing the people below.

The second floor is not the worst, the worst is to climb to the top, look from the roof, and then slide down by yourself, or accidentally be squeezed down. That's a terrible fall. Today, the Wannian County Commander does not know how many lawsuits he has accepted, all because of the crowd squeezing and trampling.

The Wannian County Order is the worst crime today, busy maintaining law and order during the day, and busy trying cases at night. He couldn't help but complain a little, it was okay to maintain law and order during the day, and the judicial county lieutenant had full authority to deal with this aspect, and he only needed to supervise. The trial made him a head and two majors, and he couldn't help but wonder when this right of trial would be thrown out, so that he would be relaxed. He probably didn't expect that he would be signed in the future.

Because there were so many people, there were so many that only some officials were invited, but this gold, shining brighter than the sun in the sky, made very, very many people excited, and many officials wanted to participate in the night banquet, and even the relatives of the officials wanted to participate.

Even, this kind of grand occasion, even those envoys of foreign races stationed in Datang want to participate. Although Datang no longer provided these envoys with free food and accommodation in Datang, all ethnic groups set up units similar to later embassies in Datang.

On the one hand, it is to strengthen and maintain ties with Datang, and on the other hand, it is to try to purchase various commodities of Datang and sell their own goods. Because of the trade exchanges, it is not difficult to bear the resident expenses of some envoys.

It is not only these people who are alarmed, outside the Daming Palace, you can still see the people who want to see a large amount of gold, even if all this gold has entered the palace, there are still people who continue to gather and listen to those who witnessed it, constantly relay, relay, relay.

As a result, the amount of gold has become more and more outrageous, causing more and more turmoil and impact. Hundreds of ox carts, in fact, only the dozens of ox carts in front are gold, and the back are all special products. But they ignored it. The number of gold cars has changed from dozens to hundreds, and finally to hundreds. Make the New World more attractive and magical. Although it caused a lot of unexpected troubles for Li Chen, it also made Li Chen's future development of the new continent much smoother.

The people who were attracted, not to mention ordinary people, or those envoys, didn't even ask about the world for a long time, and only during the New Year, when they appeared to accept the Empress Dowager Zheng, they were interested. Well, the former Third Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty is now the only one left.

The old Empress Dowager Guo, who died of illness a few years ago, let the hundred officials run one less trip during the New Year, otherwise every year for the New Year, they will have to run again to Xingqing Palace, which is really delaying.

Because there were too many participants, Li Chen had to change the venue of the banquet to Hanyuan Hall. When the huge bell tower rang six times in Suzaku Gate Square, the banquet began on time at six o'clock in the afternoon. Hanyuan Hall was brightly lit, the oil lamps were lit transparently, and groups of healthy women dressed in brocade clothes sent all kinds of delicacies.

These delicacies come in two types and will whet everyone's appetite. One is the traditional Tang Dynasty dish, which is for those who have returned to their hometowns and traveled far away from home for several years. There are even many different types of dishes, specially prepared according to each person's taste.

These people come from all over the world, with different tastes, although Datang has not developed as many styles of dishes as later generations, but people in different places have different taste preferences. In order to take care of them, Li Chen made people do it very well.

This made everyone cry when they ate, how many years, how many years have they not eaten this taste, even dreaming, they are about to forget the taste of home.

They ate with tears streaming down their faces, and ordinary people, including prime ministers, princes, and grandchildren, also buried their heads in eating. All of a sudden, it was very lively, and everyone had been asking questions about the sailors and scholars before the food was served, but it was gone, and only the sound of eating remained.

This phenomenon is very strange, because the people who can squeeze into this banquet are not ordinary people, at least some low-level officials, as well as envoys from various countries, and the dishes provided to ordinary guests are not even much.

Although they are all ordinary dishes, they can be served on the royal banquet plate, so naturally they will not be bad. It's just that it shouldn't be like having never eaten anyway, everyone is taking it seriously. The key to this is those fresh dishes, which Datang does not have.

'Master, what is this?' ''It's called roasted corn, just pick it up and eat it like this.'' At the feast, Li Chen first demonstrated how to eat, he picked up a golden-brown, alluring fragrance stick-shaped, covered with particles, and gnawed it first. Everyone did the same and gnawed.

'It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious. Li Chen's children smiled as they ate, and Li Chen continued, "This is called corn." The stick in the middle is not tasty, but you can feed it to the animals, and you can use it to feed your own horses. That's peanuts, eat less, it's hot, beware of eating big fat. ''Can peanuts be fed to horses too?'' ''I guess it's okay, don't feed too much.'' ’

Each of Li Chen's children has a horse, and as long as they reach the age of their own, they will have their own horse, their own horse, and take care of themselves. Of course, you can not raise it, you can not force it, you can also raise a dog, you can raise a cat anything, but a principle, you must take care of yourself.

This is to cultivate a sense of responsibility in children and let them learn to cherish life. It's okay not to raise them, but you should never be abused, or let someone else take care of them. Both men and women have a certain ability to take care of themselves, and they will not leave others, and they will not have anything.

This is Li Chen's resolute policy, and even he wrote him as a family motto, elaborating on his expectations for future generations, and also becoming a thousand-year-old Li Tang Dynasty, and the future education policy, so that the Li Tang royal family, even after a thousand years, has rarely appeared in history, all kinds of strange princes and grandchildren, let alone the loser emperor.

In addition to corn, there are many other crops unique to Central America, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, and peanuts.

After eating, there is also a special drink from the Americas, each child has a cup of fragrant cocoa hot drink, and adults have agave, which is a special drink from the Americas, so fresh that people feel that the meal is so satisfying that it is just a cigarette after the meal.

Tobacco, of course, was brought back. It's just that there are so many people here, and this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone, so Li Chen doesn't smoke it. But he didn't smoke, and it was still smoky, because some of the sailors smoked, and they learned this leisure activity with the natives of the New World, and when they had finished eating, they habitually smoked a cigarette, and they smoked it with a tallow lamp, and they put it away like a baby, and let the curious take a puff.

Li Cheng was greedy, he was so curious that he took one from Li Chengtai, and according to the guidance, he also swallowed the clouds. Li Zi also wanted to try, but was scolded by Li Chen, "Minors are not allowed to smoke." Let Li Zi return the cigarette in a huff.

However, he threw off the trick and secretly kept a little, wanting to taste it secretly, thinking that Li Chen didn't know. But I didn't expect Li Chenquan to see it in his eyes, and he was only going to teach him a lesson in the future, he had never smoked, as soon as he got close to the smoker, he would smell the smoke, and when he smoked secretly, he would teach him a lesson.

After eating, it is the time of the returnees to satisfy their appetites, and then the curiosity of many cats is killed. According to their identities, everyone pestered those sailors, scholars, and soldiers, and asked questions.

Li Chen first announced that everyone should at least get the rank of three-turn flying cavalry captain. This position, according to the regulations, can be obtained by those who kill one-tenth of the enemy when the two armies are in battle.

Or the first merit of the hard battle in the fortified city can be obtained, these people, who have left their hometowns and risked their lives to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, deserve this merit. And if the merit is greater, there will be a higher reward, and there will be a higher rank.

It was also announced that they would receive a reward of ten times the required amount of land in the New World. Li Chen will announce this, mainly to tell these people who are also the lowest petty officials of the ninth grade, and their relatives, don't rely on power to bully people.

In Li Chen's opinion, even if many of them want to settle down there, it will be difficult. These people who have been to the New World, each of them will be a treasure for a while.

Because wealth is moving, I am afraid that many people will move and want to form a fleet to explore treasures in the New World. These people, each of them may not escape the temptation, they have status, and they cannot be moved. The high salary temptation, the beauty plan can also be.

Don't look at these people who have everything, everyone has returned with a lot of gold, and there are at least 800 acres of land waiting for them in the New World, each with at least three wives, but as long as the price is high, they can always be hooked.

Next, it's time for them to elaborate. They recounted how they had obtained so much gold. They easily exchanged some small things brought by Datang for these, instead of taking them by skill.

They are very backward, and any kind of ceramic, cloth, glass beads, and so on, can be exchanged for a high price. They have a lot of gold and silver, and they don't know how to use it, they just think it's shiny. ’

Li Chengtai elaborated that Li Chen asked them to bring these things, and at the beginning, Li Chen prepared many things, which could be used as gifts or exchanged. They use all of these things to the maximum. In addition to this, they also taught them a lot of techniques, in exchange for a lot of gold.

Do they even live in tree houses? A milky voice asked, Li Chengtai didn't know that this was Li Chen's son, but it didn't prevent him from answering, "Don't underestimate them, their calendar is very advanced, and they can also build some, similar to the pyramid building, but it is much smaller." ’

It was their temple. Many of the buildings there are made of stone, but only a few of them, and most of the people live in thatched and wooden houses. ’

When we got there, we fought first, and there were many small countries where they were fighting each other, but they didn't even know how to use iron tools, and they were trained by us so hard that they were better for us, except for some works of art and mathematics, they were very backward. ’

In agriculture, there is a lot of rainfall, and they all plant their fields by throwing away the wasteland, and they burn the rainforest, which is the field, and after a few years of planting, it is not fertile enough, so they abandon it, and it will not be long before it is overgrown with plants, and they don't recognize it as a field. ’

We defeated them, taught them some techniques, and were invited by many countries to visit. Then we went south, and there were no decent countries left, just small tribes. Some tribes were very unfriendly, and we eliminated them and robbed them of a lot of gold. ’

'That's it, you're not coming back?' When Li Chengtai said this, Li Chen was unhappy again, and asked them to come back early, but as soon as they went there, everyone was happy. Makes him very worried.

He even prepared another large fleet, which was better in number and type than the previous wave. For the New World, he is not dead yet, no matter how he thinks about it, it is impossible to wipe out the whole army.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money, and he spent a lot of money on it, but fortunately, Datang has improved financially over the years, and he doesn't need to make up for it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise it.

Yang Er knows these things, so she can't just be like Xiaohong, happy for their return, obviously it's all right, why don't you return early, so let's report safety. As a result, I heard them say that they went around half of the Americas and found the strait that Li Chen said, which is now named, and the Chengtai Strait was originally the Strait of Magellan, before returning home.

'You're in the Philippines?' They could have come back earlier, but they followed the current, and when they returned, they arrived in the Philippines.

'Pig's head, is it really easy to bully those natives?' They made the same mistake as Magellan, who thought he was God, and the natives were in dispute, and he intervened on the island of lights, and as a result, he was hit by a poisoned arrow. They were the same, and although they were attacked by the natives when they first arrived in the New World, many of them were kind to them.

As a result, when they arrived in the Philippines, they wanted to mediate the dispute between the natives in good faith, but this time they suffered a big loss, and many people were injured, many of whom were poisoned by arrows, so angry that Li Chengtai ordered the tribes in the vicinity to be washed in blood. It took a little more time to get back.

'Hmph. Hearing this explanation, Li Chen snorted coldly.
