Chapter 118: Corn, Potatoes, and Sweet Potatoes Are All Available

"Oh...... Master, you don't say that I almost forgot, little prince, not His Royal Highness King Shou, master, you should also call the little prince His Royal Highness, he will soon go to Dongguan County, let me take you there, by the way, I also asked you if you have found any treasures? ”

"I found it, if I didn't find it, your master and I wouldn't have the face to come back to see the little prince! Oh, oh, it's His Royal Highness King Shou...... Then let's hurry up and see His Highness! Can't you make Your Highness wait a few more minutes......"

After Hai Laoba finished speaking, he immediately turned around and pulled up his baby son, Starfish Boy. When Wangcai saw Xingzai, he couldn't hold back his cry again, "Stinky boy, I told you not to follow, don't follow, but I just didn't listen, now I don't have to suffer less, go back and see how she teaches you ......"

"Brother! Haven't I come back well? You see how strong I have become, and I tell you that this voyage is dangerous, and many times I have seen a big fish that can swallow a big fish that is jumping overboard, and it will squirt water from its back, and I have a strong wind......"

The two of them pulled their shoulders and said as they walked, and when Hai Laoba chased after him, a few horses were ready, and they were already riding together on one horse, and the talk was endless.

"Master...... Is it really that dangerous in the days of sea voyages? "Yes! If His Highness hadn't drawn up a detailed chart in advance, we would have gone without returning this time, and when we first set off to Fuso to supply supplies, we encountered a hurricane and almost wiped out our army...... Another time, when I lost my route, I drove to a place full of ice and snow, and it was white...... That's called a cold! That's where many of the crew froze to death...... Later, the merchant ship sailed to the big island called Australia that His Royal Highness said, it was really good, and it was so good that it took more than ten days to see the other one, and it was full of fierce beasts that we had never seen, and then the master did not dare to go, so he immediately returned to the ship, and then he did not know that he spared Tianzhu ......."

Hai Lao Ba rode on the horse, and his voice became quieter and quieter, as if every time he recalled at this time, it was like re-experiencing the terrifying scene at that time, Wangcai saw that his master recalled so hard, so he was distressed and refused to let him continue.

However, it took half a day for the group to run from the coast to Dongguan County, and Li Mao was impatient at the beginning, and slowly became silent, until he saw the figure of Hai Lao Ba and Hai Xingzi riding horses towards him, and he trotted directly from the gate to greet him.

"Xingzai! Eighth Master, you're back! "Well, it's back!" As he spoke, Hai Laoba rolled over and jumped off his horse, and then plunged headlong into Li Mao's legs.

"Humble and bow to His Royal Highness King Shou!" "Xingzi also knocks on His Royal Highness King Shou!" "Get up, get up, Xingzi, why are you so outside, we are good brothers!" Li Mao pulled the eighth child and pulled the starfish, but the two of them refused to get up as if their legs had grown into the ground.

Li Mao was about to lose her temper for unknown reasons, but suddenly found that the two of them had already cried into tears. "Your Highness, our father and son can't stand you! The two of us were the only ones left in the palace......"

"What? None of the 28 Nakshatras have returned? When Li Mao asked this, the whole person obviously shook a little, because those twenty-four people were all carefully selected and cultivated by themselves since childhood, just like chasing them, not to mention how much effort they spent, they were all outstanding characters like their own flesh and blood brothers!

Li Mao tried his best to control his emotions, and then helped Hai Lao Ba father and son to slowly get up from the ground, "It's good that you guys are back, this trip has long known that life and death are unpredictable, but I didn't expect the price to be so big!" Walk...... Let's go and talk to the king...... Lord Zhang, this king will not discuss the matter of the field with him today, you can do it yourself! ”

"Oh, the lower official just dealt with the affairs of the Shipping Division, Your Highness, you are also mourning......" Zhang Jiuling left the scene very consciously after speaking, and then Li Mao gave another order to chase them back to transport the goods, and then took Hai Lao Bahai Xingzai's hand and walked into the backyard of the Dongguan County Ya.

"Your Highness, this is the way it is, some of them sacrificed their lives to protect the crew, some were swept away by the waves in the waves, and a few were infected with serious illnesses ......that could not be cured."

"I understand, they are all my Li Mao's good subordinates, I didn't embarrass our Tang people, you have also worked hard, this king has seen that he has a talent for sailing! It didn't disappoint! It seems that the main reason for so many accidents this time is the quality of the compass, of course, the firmness of our merchant ships also needs to be improved, especially the ability to control the sails must be strengthened in the future......"

"Your Highness, you are right! No matter how well prepared you are, when you really get to sea, there will still be such and such problems, which people can't predict in advance! However, the biggest gain of this voyage is that we have confirmed the correctness of the charts drawn by His Highness, although there are still some discrepancies, but on the whole there are traces! For example, the Cape of Good Hope's humble position was really spared......"

"God, aren't you supposed to go to the Pacific Ocean? Why did you go to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and if you go to the Indian Ocean, isn't it closer to the Suez Canal from the Arabo Sea through the Red Sea? ”

"This ...... When I went to the lowly position, I lost my sailing, and the canal you said was not open at all, and finally I returned to the Indian Ocean and took the Cape of Good Hope in Africa again......"

"Oh...... Oh, it's the king's fault, we're in the Tang Dynasty now, and that canal shouldn't have opened yet! So, you've been to Europe and then moved to South America? ”

"Humble position, I don't know if that place is what Your Highness said about Europe, but the locals look very weird, yellow hair and blue eyes abound, and they have brought a lot back from this trip! However, the last place to arrive should be the Americas that Your Highness mentioned earlier, because although the local people are still Ru Mao and drink blood, they look very similar to us Tang people, and they even suspect that they are our Chinese ancestors who migrated to the past by boat......"

"Haha...... So you left all the injured crew members in the local area! "Yes, I remember that Your Highness, you once said that that land is a good place, if we don't seize it first, it will be taken away by those Europeans in the future, so I specially instructed those who stayed behind to erect a monument to enclose the land, to show that North America is already the land of our Tang Dynasty......"

"Okay, it's a good circle! First come, first served...... As long as we settle down first, then there should be a saying from ancient times in the future! ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he was a little excited and turned around in a circle, the previous potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and even peppers, Hai Lao Ba have been taken back, so the rest is Li Mao's most relevant trade issue, but for a while he didn't know how to say it, after all, only thirty-five of the hundreds of ships came back, so the silk, ceramics, and tea that were loaded away at the beginning may have sunk directly to the bottom of the sea.

If you rashly ask him, he will inevitably open the scar of the eighth man first. So Li Mao spun in such a dilemma, until the spinning Hai Lao Ba was a little dizzy, and he stopped suddenly.
