Back in Hangzhou, Gao Fuji checked the construction progress of the shipyard, the two assembly lines were basically completed, and the projects were progressing steadily. The training of sailors on the first sea vessel, the Conch, has also come to an end, and Gao Fuji is ready to organize an expedition to Luzon (later the Philippines) to bring back sweet potatoes.

In ancient China, even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the yield per mu of grain was not high, and after paying various taxes, it was enough for a family to eat. If you are a little careless, you have to eat wild vegetables, and sweet potatoes are a plant with a high yield per mu, and they can be planted in the north and south without picking much land, and now they are still lying in the wilderness of Luzon, it doesn't matter if others haven't seen it, Gao Buer has carefully drawn the vines and roots of sweet potatoes.

This time to sea, although some charts were also collected through the Xiao family and Dugujia in the early stage, they were not too accurate, and Gao Fuji planned the route with reference to the collected charts.

First to Yizhou, then along due south of Yizhou, to Luzon.

This time it was the old captain who led the team, and Carpenter Lu was also responsible for shipbuilding.

The old captain's surname is Xian, and his family grew up by the sea, and his understanding of the sea is far better than that of Lu Carpenter, and it is not comparable to a half-person like Gao Fuji.

Originally, it was best to run Gao Bu'er, but now the situation in the Great Sui is changing rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting, although Zhang Zhongping has rushed to the northwest, but the situation is not very good, the letter said that now the Turkic Shibi Khan is in charge, and Yang Guang, who looks down on his father and mother, is ready to unite Tuguhun to attack Sui, and the horse trade is difficult, so Gao Buer needs to go to the northwest.

Gao Buer is ready to take advantage of Yang Guangxi's tour next year to take a trip to the northwest.

On that day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and at the Qiantang River wharf, Gao Fuji practiced for the southbound fleet.

"Old captain, it's hard all the way, the weather at sea is changeable, you have more experience than me, be careful."

"Please rest assured, we have nautical charts, and the road map you gave is naturally no problem, Luzon and I have had trade contacts since the Han Dynasty, and it is not difficult to find it. And our boat speed is still fast, and we should be able to return for more than a month. ”

Gao Buer nodded and said: "Okay, I won't say much if I have anything superfluous, the purpose of this trip is to test the long-distance sailing ability of our fleet and prepare for the restoration of the Maritime Silk Road in the future; The second is sweet potatoes, and you must bring back sweet potatoes on this trip. ”

The old captain was puzzled: "Master, you have spoken of sweet potatoes many times, but I don't know what is precious about this thing. ”

Gao Fuji sighed and said: "During this time, I traveled all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, and found that in addition to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, there is almost no hunger, and the grain output in most areas of the north is pitiful. ”

The yield of sweet potatoes per mu in later generations is 5,000 to 6,000 catties, that is, about 50 to 60 deniers, but now there is no chemical fertilizer in the society, and farmers do not use much fertilizer, so Gao Buer can only make a half-fold, to say less. If memory serves, it was precisely because of the introduction of sweet potatoes that the Chinese population began to soar.

You must know that since the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, seven or eight hundred years in the middle, the whole of China has spent time in war, a large amount of land is barren, and the people have almost been struggling on the hunger line, that is, after today's reunification, the two years have been better, so that they can not have an empty stomach, but it is difficult to eat enough, because the yield per mu of good land is only thirteen or four deniers, and after paying the rent and various taxes, you can leave three or four deniers, barely enough to eat for a year.

When he heard what Gao Buer said, he immediately said excitedly: "Please rest assured, little old man, I am fighting for my life, and I want to bring the sweet potatoes back." ”

Gao Buer said with a smile: "Don't get excited for the time being, now it is estimated that sweet potatoes are also rare in Luzon, the place of origin, after you arrive, you must first have a good relationship with the local government with high profits, it should be easier to find through them, you must not say that this thing is food, just say that it is a good livestock ration or a medicinal material, once the value of this thing is revealed, I am afraid it will be difficult to bring it back." ”

"Please rest assured, the little old man can save it."

"Okay, let's go, it's the monsoon season, if there is no problem with the course, you should come back soon, remember, the sweet potatoes are packed in sacks, and we will bury the big fruit in the soil, but don't do anything to buy and return the pearls."

"Yes, please rest assured." After that, he walked on the boat and ordered the anchor to be lifted, and there was a tragic momentum of a strong man going to die.

The Venerable Master of Zhuangzi waved goodbye to the sailors, all of whom were residents of the Zhuangzi and were full of reverence for the sea, so the send-off ceremony was very solemn.

Although Dugu Binglan is a daughter, she has a chivalrous heart, and when she came to Hangzhou, she was almost inseparable from Gao Buer, helping Gao Buer deal with the trivial matters of various workshops, making Gao Buer a lot easier.

Gao Buer, these three ladies really have their own characteristics, Dugu Binglan doesn't talk about it, Xiao Yumei is a good hand at taking care of business, and she is basically in charge of foreign trade, while Su Xiaoxiao is a good family, and she is well organized inside and outside the Gao Mansion.

Dugu Binglan, who was standing beside Gao Buer, watched the boat drift away, and the crowd gradually dispersed, before she said, "Husband, is the sweet potato yield you said really so high per mu?" ”

Gao Buer smiled and said, "Lan'er, don't keep your face cold, give your man a smile." ”

Hearing this, Dugu Bing Lanyu's face turned red, and she smiled strongly, Gao Buer shook his head, these three wives have such a personality, they don't like to laugh, and they can endure it when they run errands in bed, unlike the second wife's passion.

Gao Buer stretched out his hand and quietly grabbed a handful in front of Dugu Binglan's upturned chest, looking at Dugu Binglan like a frightened bird, Gao Buer laughed and hugged her, and said, "I dare to doubt your husband's words, and I can be served by the family law when I go back later." ”

Dugu Binglan blushed, glanced at him, and her head was about to be buried in the twin peaks on her chest. Seeing that this third wife with a super high force value still has the appearance, Gao Buer gently kissed her full red lips and said: "Sweet potato yield, I only said a little, and when I get it back, I will know." ”

After that, he pulled her happily and walked towards the shipyard, most of the two sea ships of the same size in the dock have been built, and they will be delivered to the buyer in the spring of next year, one is about 150,000 yuan, thinking about a bunch of money mountains, which is exciting.

Dugu Binglan looked at Gao Buer's innocent smile, and liked it very much, although this cheap husband loves to be careless and flamboyant, but after contact, he found that Gao Buer has the ambition to worry about the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world.

If you don't make a move, it's just a big deal to bless the people, and it is said that Huirentang has saved a lot of ordinary people, and word of mouth has spread all over the country, because it was opened in the name of the eldest lady, Su Xiaoxiao is now about to be worshiped as a god.

Xiao Yumei is also famous at home and abroad for launching a series of women's products, as well as glass mirrors and other items.

can earn money, can spend money, loves his wife, and has a love for the world, which is really a good match in Dugu Binglan's mind, not comparable to Yang Guang's arrogance, so the initial anger in his heart is decreasing day by day, and his love is increasing day by day.

Dugu Binglan said secretly in her heart: "If this sweet potato can really produce thirty stones per mu, then my Dasui will no longer have to worry about hunger, and it is not impossible to promise my husband to be slept with at that time, I don't know why this husband likes to make people shy to sleep with him, and he is not afraid of being tired and paralyzed." ”

If Gao Buer knew what this Ice Lady was thinking, it was estimated that he would have to chase the sea ship to sea and go to sea together, and get the sweet potatoes back immediately. Sleeping with the three ladies, what a tempting thing, I tried it with the other two ladies, but the three ladies couldn't pull their faces, and they have not been able to realize their desire to sleep with the three ladies.

Gao Buer turned his head, looked at Dugu Binglan and looked at him with a smile on her eyes, stretched out his claws, grabbed a handful of her upright buttocks, and teased: "Madam, why don't we go back now and discuss the philosophy of having children?" ”

Dugu Binglan snorted, broke free from his hand, and ran towards the shipyard.

"My wife gave birth to a child for her husband, what is dirty." Gao Buer shouted in the back, Dugu Binglan stumbled at her feet, Lianbu walked faster, and the Dugu beauty with a strict family education really couldn't stand Gao Buer's naked show of love, which made people love and hate.
