"Madman?" Li was stunned, this title is not a compliment in Datang, although it is not as direct as a madman, but the meaning is similar, but how can he be a madman who can come up with such a bold and ingenious three strategies? But then he was a little relieved, he was able to come up with such a perverse method of extensive farming, and his thinking was naturally different from ordinary people, and it was not surprising that he was called a madman.

Thinking of this, Li Su hurriedly asked for the details of this madman again, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Guo gave Li Su a salute again, and then said: "Your Highness Qiqi, this person has a deep relationship with Wang, and now it is really not good to say too much, and before coming, that person also said that we are not allowed to reveal his identity, if His Highness wants to see him, you can go to Taiyuan City in person." ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he didn't expect the other party to play with him as a corporal, but such a talent is indeed worth his personal trip, after all, there are too few talents in his hands now, and it is not enough to rely on Lu Hong as a strategist. Thinking of this, Li Su nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, this king is going back to Chang'an anyway, and one of them is not far from Taiyuan, so I will take a trip in person to see where the other party is sacred?" ”

Hearing Li Su's agreement, Wang Kuang was even more excited, and even his eyes were a little red, while Cui Yu sighed, and a little relaxed smile appeared on his face, he had seen that person, and he also had the grace of guidance, and even the reason why he and Wang Kuang came to Li Su was also guided by that person, but it was a pity that that man was not tolerated by the world, and his ambitions could not be displayed, and he even had to endure the ridicule of mediocre people every day.

After talking about business. As the master, Li Su naturally wants to entertain the two of them well, everyone is young, and they are all extraordinary, and they talk about everything. The atmosphere changed from the beginning to a lively and casual. And Wang Guo also took the initiative to ask Li Su about the overseas scenery they talked about when they met for the first time, although he was dizzy that time, but he recalled it afterwards. But he is very yearning for the majestic and magnificent overseas world, and he has also inquired about overseas customs from many overseas businessmen, but compared with what Li Su said, it is too bad. Cui Yu also heard some things about Wang Guo and was also very interested in this.

Li Su has also been suffering from a headache about rubber in the past few days, and he is about to go crazy with the American continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and he listens to the request of the two. At the beginning of the lecture, he talked about various specialties of the American continent, in addition to talking about the rubber trees that he wants most now, and also focused on the three high-yield crops of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. Speaking of which, God really favors the American continent, and these three high-yielding crops are all specialties of the Americas. I can't find it anywhere else, but with Li Su's current strength, it is out of reach, and I can depress people to death just thinking about it.

After Wang Kuang and Cui Yu heard about the richness of the American continent, they were also very moved, as young scholars who were influenced by traditional culture, they were interested in high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes. The performance is even more eager than Li Su, although they heard Li Su repeatedly emphasize that the American continent is too far away, but the two are still unwilling. I beg Li Su to think about it again, to see if he can send someone to the Americas first, if he can bring back some of those crops, it will not only benefit all the people, but also be a move that will last for a hundred years!

In fact, Li Su also thought about the proposal of the two. If you send a fleet of daring ships, you will sail to the Americas at great risk. Even if only one ship comes back, as long as it can bring back a few American specialties, it will be worth it. However, he quickly dispelled this idea, because the sea is no better than the land, and even the slightest negligence could wipe out the entire fleet, especially if it could not be located, and I am afraid that the ten fleets he sent out would not return even half a plank.

But it's not that there is no way, last time Li Chunfeng came from Chang'an news, it seems that there has been a breakthrough in the production of the sextant, and now a few months have passed, I don't know what the situation is, if he can make the sextant, and then rely on the Galen ship and the lucky ship that Li Su made, although it can't be said that there is 100% certainty of reaching the Americas, but at least half of the hope, at that time can also give it a go.

Thinking of this, Li Su explained the situation to Wang Jing and Cui Yu, and the two of them saw that Li Su was resolute, and it was not easy to force it anymore, they only hoped that Li Dacong would make things out quickly. Moreover, they also asked that if Li Su sent someone to the Americas, they hoped that he would inform him, and then they would also send their own forces to participate. Li Su naturally couldn't ask for someone to help him take risks, and he was not a person who liked to eat alone, so he readily agreed.

The three of them kept chatting and the sun was setting, and Li Su personally sent the two out of the house. Then I was busy with Dengzhou for a few days, everything else has been prepared, the time has entered the middle of June, it is estimated that Li Shimin is about to return to Chang'an at this time, and Li Su is also about to leave, because the weather is too hot, so Li Su decided to take the waterway all the way, when he arrived at the Yellow River section of Jinzhou, he got off the boat and went to Taiyuan again, and saw the person who offered advice in the mouth of Wang Guo, and he had to recruit him anyway.

Li Su wanted to leave, and he naturally had a lot of guards around him, and as the king of Tang Qi, the government did not dare to embarrass him along the way. Therefore, many businessmen in Dengzhou saw this opportunity and set off a few days earlier or later, in order to follow Li Su's fleet to get some light. It is precisely for this reason that on the day Li Su set off, more than a dozen ships in front of him were ships from the Qi Palace, but they were all merchant ships that stretched for miles behind. Li Su doesn't mind this, after all, it's not easy to go out, you can help a little bit, anyway, you don't have to spend money, and you can buy people's hearts.

Li Su took this huge fleet across the Bohai Sea and into the Yellow River, and when he reached the Qingzhou River, he replaced the pointed sea boats with flat-bottomed river boats, and then went all the way west. Because of the prosperity of Dengzhou, now the Yellow River has become one of the golden waterways of the Tang Dynasty, although the strategic position is not as important as the Grand Canal built by Li Su's grandfather, but the commercial value is many times higher, after all, along the Yellow River, is the most concentrated area of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time it also connects Guanzhong and Dengzhou merchant ships, and the Dengzhou area is the hub of sea trade between the south and the north, so its importance is self-evident.

It is precisely because of this that Li Su and his team saw all the boats coming and going along the way, and in some places even covered the entire river surface, and even occasionally encountered river blockages, at this time, the local government had to come forward to direct and coordinate the traffic on the river.

Because the weather is too hot, Li Su usually hides in the cabin with Wen Xin during the day, this ship is also specially made, the decoration in the cabin is very luxurious, and the wall of the warehouse is very thick, the heat can't get in, plus Li Su prepared a lot of saltpeter on the ship, and kept making ice to cool down, making the temperature in the warehouse very comfortable, plus Wenxin accompanied them, or playing games or telling jokes, anyway, they don't feel bored.

On this day, the fleet arrived at the Weizhou River section, which was the fief of Li Tai's little fat man, but he had always been in Chang'an and had never been to the fiefdom here, and Li Su didn't need to go ashore to meet him.

It had just rained during the day, and the rain was not heavy, Li Su accompanied Wen Xin and them out of the warehouse, and waited for the rain to stop before sending them back to the warehouse, and Li Su had nothing to do, so he called Yanbei from another ship, and also called Wang Guo and Cui Yu in the back fleet, these two bought a lot of slaves and goods in Dengzhou, and also hired a few big boats to follow Li Su, and when they arrived at the Jinzhou River, they took Li Su to Taiyuan to find the man.

After inviting the three of them, Li Su introduced them to each other, and then asked people to set up a table on the deck, boiled a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and the four of them gathered together, pointing to the passing ships while eating and talking, quite a bit of the momentum of pointing out the country. However, Li Su soon found that he, who was the introducer, quickly couldn't interject into the conversation between Yanbei and the three.

Speaking of Yanbei, the experience of the three of them is really similar, they are all born in the children of a family, and they are also full of talent, Wang Guo and Cui Yu had to stoop to be a businessman because of the suppression in the clan, but Yanbei was affected by the ancestors and ruined his reputation, thinking that he had no possibility of being an official, so he became interested in business.

It is also the similar background and experience that makes the three of them have a feeling of hating each other, the more they talk, the more they talk, let Li Su get it after the wine is drunk, and Yanbei This guy has a clear door to Li Su's wine collection, and he opened his mouth to ask Li Su for the bottles of good wine that Li Su hid, although he was a little reluctant, but in front of Wang Guo and Cui Yu, the two outsiders, it was not easy to show stinginess, so he had to endure the pain and take it out.

As a result, after these three guys finished Li Su's good wine lees, they began to get drunk on the deck, first made a friendship with the crescent moon that had just come out, and let Li Su be a notary, and then the three of them were brothers, among which Wang Guo was the eldest, Yanbei was the second, and Cui Yu was the youngest, but even Li Su didn't expect that the marriage of these three people would have a huge impact on the business pattern of Datang and the road he would take in the future?

When Li Su asked the three guys who were drunk on the deck to be sent back to their respective ships, it was already nearly two watches, and a dark cloud drifted from nowhere, covering the crescent moon in the sky.

However, just as Li Su was about to go back to the cabin to rest, Zhou Long and Hu Li suddenly found him, and the first words of the meeting made Li Su startled: "Your Highness, something is wrong, I'm afraid our ship will be lively tonight." ”
