Chapter 1033 Collection of Sea Travel Stories(1/2)
There are natives in North America, which is not surprising.
After all, the footprints of the Incas have been found in South America, and the possibility that North America has also found is infinitely high.
However, Li Geng has been wandering in North America for several months after all, and now he has only seen the scene of natives appearing for the first time, which is somewhat surprising.
"Li Langjun, these natives have been staring at our roast beef. Could it be that they were attracted by the aroma of our meat?"

Chen Sier swallowed the beef in her mouth, took a telescope and looked at the natives in the grass in the distance.
These people had some bird feathers on their heads, and their faces were covered with messy things. At first glance, they thought they were some monsters.
However, with the help of the telescope, Chen Sier was sure that the people in front of him were natives and looked very similar to those in South America.
To a certain extent, they are somewhat similar to the Tang people, much more decent than the Kunlun slave.
"Let's go! Let's go over and they're here!"
There were only a dozen natives in front of him, and Li Geng was not worried about any safety issues.
Besides, when the fleet was in South America, it had already tried the benefits of dealing with natives.
In order to save his time, Li Geng felt that it was necessary to communicate well with the natives in front of him.
"They all have spears in their hands. If we go directly, will they think they are going to attack them? Although we definitely don't have to worry about not being able to beat them, it's a pity to lose one man."
Seeing that Li Geng was still covered in blood, Chen Sier went towards the grass hidden by the natives, and quickly stood up and called for a stop.
Li Geng didn't have that kind of stubborn personality.
After hearing Chen Sier's words, he immediately looked around, then went to the fire to pick up a large piece of steak, and then headed towards the natives again.
Whether a person is hostile can actually be felt more clearly.
Unless you are the kind of actor who deliberately hides your original intentions.
Obviously, Li Geng didn't have any content.
Although the natives on the other side were a little panicked when they saw Li Geng coming to him with a group of people.
But he did not feel the murderous intent on Li Geng. Considering the roast beef on Li Geng's hands, the natives obviously relaxed their vigilance.
Unfortunately, this epoch-making meeting did not leave any scenes worthy of writing.
Because the scene of chickens and ducks talking did not last long.
Fortunately, these natives were quite enthusiastic. While screaming, they pointed in one direction and invited Li Geng and the others to go together.
Obviously, it should be their settlement.
Although they didn't know where Li Geng and his group came out, after eating the beef in Li Geng's hands, they enthusiastically invited them to visit.
For these natives, obtaining bison meat is a rare thing.
If someone in the tribe invites you to eat bison meat, it is definitely a very important thing, which means that the other party regards you as a distinguished guest.
"Chen Sier, let's go and have a look with them. If these natives can survive in North America, they must have their way of survival. Let's see if it involves corn and sweet potatoes."
After thinking for a while, Li Geng came up with an idea.
"Li Langjun, it's actually very simple. As long as we take out the picture album of corn and sweet potatoes from the parcel and look at the reactions of these natives, we will naturally know if they have seen these high-yield grains."
Although there is no way to communicate with each other, pictures are actually common to the world.
Otherwise, the movies from various island countries and European and American countries would not be popular all over the world.
“What you said makes sense!”
While talking, Li Geng took out a booklet from his arms, turned to the page of corn, and then chatted with the natives.
From the excited reactions of these natives, Li Geng felt that corn was already waving to him.
"Let's go back with these natives and see what life is like in North American natives."
Li Geng no longer had any worries and walked eastward with the natives.
...
When America fell into the night, Chang'an City had just ushered in a new day.
There was already a long queue at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore.
"Master, Wen Daming's "Stories of Travel on the Sea" was published in the "Datang Daily" for a few days and stopped serializing it. Now it is published as a book. I wonder if the quality has dropped today."
Guo Dezhi and Guo Yunhe also came to Xinhua Bookstore in person today.
As the leaders of Chang'an City's storytelling industry, they actually don't have to go there in person.
However, in order to see "Stories of Travel on the Sea" as soon as possible, both master and apprentice chose to come and queue up.
"After I adapted the stories I had in the first series into storytelling content, it caused a great response. Now that I have been published as books, Wen Daming should have more time to refine his articles, and I think the quality will not be bad."
Guo Dezhi is still very confident in Wen Daming.
Although the leader of the "Datang Daily" is Luo Binwang, Wen Daming's reputation is quite famous.
In addition, he personally participated in the American adventure, and most of the stories in "Stories of the Sea Travel" were personally participated or found out, and they were basically not fabricated there, so Guo Dezhi felt that this book was still worth buying.
"Even if the quality is very good, it is actually quite strange that so many people come to queue up to buy it today. When did the people of the Tang Dynasty become so interested in learning?"
Guo Yunhe looked around and found that Xinhua Bookstore had not been officially opened yet, and the number of people queuing up was as high as hundreds.
There were even police officers from the Chang'an County Police Department next to them to maintain order.
"Yunhe, this is actually not surprising at all. You may just regard the book "Stories of Travel on the Sea" as a subject of storytelling, even if it is written well, it is this function.
But for many people, storytelling has nothing to do with them. What they care about is the story of going to sea. Nowadays, there are people in their homes in Chang'an City, but many people are there. In addition, some people are considering going to sea, so they will naturally be able to buy a book "Sea Travel Story Collection" and study it carefully to see if the risk of going to sea is great and whether the overseas world is really that wonderful.
Of course, Wen Daming is very good at using newspapers to hype him, which is also a very important reason. Various factors are superimposed, and today's scene of crowds is full of people."
Guo Dezhi still admires Wen Daming a little.
Chang'an City is more than 20,000 miles from the Americas. Wen Daming, as the writer of the "Da Tang Daily", dared to go out to sea.
The courage is commendable!
"Master, you are right. In the past month, almost every day, ships have left the Weishui Wharf, and they are all ready to go to sea. I heard that the orders of shipbuilding workshops in various parts of the Tang Dynasty have been scheduled until next year."
As a top storyteller, Guo Yunhe naturally has a wide range of sources of information.
Nowadays, a shipbuilder, as long as he is a fourth-level worker, his monthly salary is higher than that of a county magistrate.
The key is that many shipbuilding workshops want to recruit people, but they can’t recruit people.
"The atmosphere of going to sea has been quite prosperous in recent years. Now the fleet of Guanshishan Academy has returned from America, proving the correctness of many things described by His Royal Highness of Chu's globe. Everyone's enthusiasm for going to sea immediately became even higher. The article Wen Daming had just started to publish in the "Da Tang Daily" was very attractive, and even those who were afraid of going to sea could not help but be moved.
Yunhe, I’m going to tell you, my teacher is also planning to find an opportunity to go overseas, otherwise when you get older, you won’t have that energy even if you want to go overseas.”
Guo Dezhi's words shocked Guo Yunhe.
Is his master actually going to go out to sea?
What's the situation?
Is going to sea really that delicious?
"Master, although many merchants in the Tang Dynasty made a lot of money through overseas trade, and some crew members changed their destiny by going to sea; but behind these victors, there were actually many people who sank in the sea, and the ships were blown over by the wind and waves, and even there was no news, and no one was seen in life or corpses died.
This trip to sea is not as simple as everyone imagined, nor as comfortable as everyone imagined. I heard that on the boat, you may not have the chance to take a shower once a month.
Master, think about it, if the ship sailed in Southeast Asia, the climate was very hot, and there was no chance to take a bath or eat fresh vegetables, what else would the day be?
With your income in Chang'an City now, even if you will never speak again from tomorrow, you will go to Dude and Wuheju for dinner every day, and there will be no big problem. Then go to Pingkangfang for a walk in the evening. How comfortable will your life be?"
Guo Yunhe obviously does not support Guo Dezhi going overseas.
Guo Dezhi has no son, he is just a disciple.
If he goes to sea, how could he not follow him?
If you don't follow me, you might be scolded by many people.
These days, a good reputation is more important than anything else.
"I understand all you said! But the world is so big, I want to go and see it! I want to go to Nanyang to see the legendary spice island; I want to go to Nanyang to taste the kind of fruit that smells smelling and tastes very fragrant; I want to go to Puluzhong, which is known as the largest city in Nanyang; I also want to go to Yongping Port in Australia, and to Port-au-Prince in Australia; I even want to go to the West to see what is different in the world there.
Yun He, as a teacher, has a feeling that my ability to speak books has now reached a bottleneck stage. If you don’t increase your knowledge, it will be difficult to make new breakthroughs.
By going overseas, you will definitely increase your experiences and even get to know some businesses in other countries and hear some stories that you have never heard of.
When I was on the boat, I could slowly process these stories into storytelling content. When I returned to Chang'an City, I would become famous again for my teacher.
Even at that time, my teacher could have compiled the contents of the storytelling into a book like Wen Daming and found a printing workshop to print it into a book."
Guo Dezhi is now considered a person who has been separated from low-level interests and has begun to pursue spiritual things.
Obviously, he, who is barely considered a literati, now hopes to be remembered forever and leave some works.
Ten years ago, he didn't dare to have such an idea.
After all, storytellers were not a very high-ranking character in the Tang Dynasty.
"But... I think these things can be obtained by watching "Sea Travel Story Collection", chatting with seamen, and going to Xishi to find Hu merchants to communicate. There is no need to risk your life to go to completely unknown sea areas."
