March and April.

It also happens to be the busy farming season in Liaodong.

When the fleet returned, corn, pumpkins, potatoes, etc., were quickly used for planting.

On this trip to the Americas, in addition to bringing back gold, they also brought back a large number of American crops.

Even......

They also brought back the rubber trees.

Of course!

It is estimated that the saplings of this rubber tree can be planted alive in Liaodong.

Soon after the fleet returned, immediately after Luoyang, Li Chong also received the American crops sent back by Li Zhi.

Li looked at the corn, pumpkin, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and could only say that these things were good.

In fact, compared to gold......

These things are really valuable.

Even more valuable than the crops brought back from the Americas was the voyage diary of the fleet across the Pacific Ocean.

Of course!

This one...... Li Chong obviously didn't get his hands on it.

Li Zhi's side, holding a nautical diary in his hand, is also reading at night.

In fact......

From the Wa Kingdom to the Americas, it does not take half a year at all.

It only takes three months to get there.

And this time, the fleet also brought back 7,000 catties of gold from the Americas in one go.

Seven thousand catties of gold, more than 100 people divide it equally, and each person can get at least about forty or fifty catties.

Don't look at it, it's only forty or fifty pounds.

However......

In fact, forty or fifty catties, let alone in Datang, even if it is put in the next generation, it is already worth tens of millions.

As long as you deposit this money in the bank, of course, Datang will definitely not have a bank, but you can do lending business, and you can lend money in Datang, and the interest rate may be higher.

In a word......

Go out for two years, change a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing, do you do this kind of thing?

Let's be honest.

When it was learned that each of these crew members had received forty or fifty pounds of gold.

Now many officials in Liaodong have red eyes.

Because even if they do, many people can't get such a high salary in a year.

Don't say it's them.

Even if it is Li Chong, it is difficult to say that he can earn forty or fifty catties of gold in a year.

Of course!

If you have to say it, it's not impossible.

Mainly......

He now has a monopoly on the entire Datang steam mill business.

If you want to say who is the richest in Datang, it should be said that Li Chong will definitely be able to rank first.

I guess it's at least in the top 50.

The main reason is that it is not easy to estimate how much other businessmen can earn in a year.

……

After reading the nautical diary, Li Zhi did not hide it like Li Tai.

ordered someone to copy a copy again, and sent it to Li Chong's side.

It has to be said that there is still a certain risk in crossing the Pacific Ocean, and there are often strong winds and waves from time to time.

Other than that......

For three months, there were no islands or people at all, but there was only blue sky, white clouds and sea, which often had a lot of impact on the psychology of the crew.

Fortunately......

This time the voyage was survived.

On the way here, I encountered a lot of wind and waves, and when I came back, it was fine.

It seems that the South Pacific is more docile than the North Pacific.

Li Chong also suspects that there must be an element of luck in this.

Maybe next time, they won't be so lucky.

But anyway.

This time the voyage was completed.

Next......

Li Zhi should definitely not give up on the second voyage.

Really!

The next is after a two-month break.

Li Zhi again proposed to cross the Pacific.

After all......

The costs he has paid over the years have not been recovered.

And the crew who has been there before......

Surely, ninety percent don't want to go anymore.

The remaining 10% is completely a mandatory task.

But it's okay!

Although the people in front of them are no longer willing to go, as long as the treatment is good enough, there should be people to go.

After all......

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Of course!

It certainly wasn't right away.

Instead, stay until next year and sail at the same time, so that you may be able to make the journey relatively safer.

Soon......

The fleet was replenished with two hundred and fifty men.

For the next few months, I will practice in an offshore place, and when I am familiar with everything on board, I will go back next year.

Li Chong was even more concerned about whether the corn, pumpkins, potatoes and so on brought back could be planted alive.

September, October.

In this year, Li Er, Li Chengqian, and Li Chong ate corn, pumpkins, and potatoes.

All I can say is......

When I was a child, Li Chong didn't like to eat pumpkin very much, but now......

Don't talk about it, just taste one piece or two, and it will be worth the meal.

It's not okay to eat too much, and if you eat too much, you will feel a little tired.

This year.

Li Er probably let go completely.

Therefore......

In terms of physical fitness, it is naturally not too good.

The key is......

He was sick and he wouldn't let him be cured.

This is the same as who Li Shiji is.

He's going to go on like this......

Li Chong can only say that Li Er will finish playing sooner or later.

But don't panic!

Because......

Li Er probably ...... Should......

I think it will last another year or two.

this year.

On the one hand, the 150,000 Western Turkic army resisted the Persian attack, and on the other hand, it also went to Zhongtianzhu.

In the past, Tianzhu was very far away from Datang, so Datang had nothing to do with it.

The current word......

It's time for Tianzhu to be included in the management of Datang.

Of course!

The reason for attacking Tianzhu is also a practical factor to consider, because these 150,000 Western Turkic cavalry are raised by a country in Persia, which is really a bit choking enough.

Simply......

Pei Xingjian also led the army to fight Zhongtianzhu once.

Why......

It can only be said that the king of Tianzhu, A Luoshun, is also more cooperative.

It was completely the other party that gave Pei Xingjian the opportunity.

The other party obviously didn't realize that Datang had the ability to come and beat him.

Thereupon......

For the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, the other party showed a little lack of respect.

That is a good excuse for Pei Xingjian.

And then......

50,000 Turkic cavalry chopped melons and vegetables all the way, and it took less than three months to beat this Zhongtianzhu down, so that the opposing king had to flee.

At last......

Pei Xingjian proposed that they should provide military rations to the Turkic army, and in addition, they got a lot of booty, so they quit the army.

Now with Zhongtianzhu and Persia, as well as Zhaowu Jiu, they are obviously much less in terms of logistical pressure.

As for the big food......

In fact, it's not a matter of just consuming it.

So......

Pei Xingjian is also preparing to report to the imperial court to see if he should directly hit the capital of Dashi.

In fact......

Now they are not far from the capital of the Great Cannibal.

After the battle, he can go back, and on the Western Turkic side, it is obvious that the army's heart is also a little shaken.

It is also because Pei Xingjian has been in the Anxi Protectorate for many years that he can suppress them.

If you change people, it is estimated that the Western Turks are already reversed.
