"anchor!"

With a command, the ship stopped dozens of meters outside the pier.

"Brother Li, come on the boat and take a look. I'll bring you surprises!"

When the ship stopped steadily, Li Yixie could no longer hold it back and shouted hard to Li Geng on the dock.

At this time, he was like a wanderer returning home from wealthy, eager to see everyone's achievements.

Li Geng, Wen Daming and others on the dock were shocked when they heard Li Yixie's words!

Could it be that Li Yixie found the high-yield crops in the album of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

They immediately couldn't stand, so they took the lead in boarding a small boat and then headed towards the big boat.

After all, Hope Port Pier is just a very simple pier. In order to avoid ships touching the reefs, for the time being, the sea boats dare not get too close directly.

So the boat needs to turn around.

Fortunately, it was only a few dozen meters away, and Li Geng quickly jumped onto the bow of the ship.

Under the sunlight, the glowing gold and gold bowls on the deck made Li Geng happy.

However, soon, his face darkened again.

Being able to discover large gold mines like Australian adventures is certainly something to celebrate.

But for fleets, high-yield crops are things that money can’t buy.

"Brother Li, congratulations, you have found another big gold mine for my Tang Dynasty! Look at this deck full of gold, the scale of this gold mine is definitely not smaller than that of Australia. When you return to Chang'an City, you will finally be able to make a contribution to His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Li Geng reconciled his mood and showed a bright smile on his face.

Now that things have come to this point, it makes no sense to say anything like a pity.

Fortunately, he went north for a month and found no other high-yield crops except for peppers, so he was mentally prepared for the situation where Li Yixie had not found them either.

"Li Langjun, although there are guardrails on the deck, if the wind and waves are a little bigger, these dog-headed gold will easily fall into the sea, which is a pity."

Wen Daming's mood changes are similar to Li Geng.

However, he felt that in order to show off in front of his own people, Li Yixie specially placed valuable dog-headed gold on the deck, which was a bit too much.

If you find potatoes and sweet potatoes, he will recognize it if you show off like this.

Words of gold...

Although it is indeed worth showing off, it is a bit wrong.

"What Brother Wen said makes sense. It's really too careless to put such expensive gold on the deck."

After Wen Daming said that, Li Geng felt a little unhappy, and felt that Li Yixie had done too much.

“Haha~”

Li Yixie saw all the changes in expressions of Li Geng and Wen Daming, and naturally understood what they were thinking, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Li, Brother Wen, it's not that I want to put these gold gold on the deck to show off, I really can't put it in the cabin."

"Ah? I can't put it in the cabin anymore?"

After hearing this, Li Geng also showed a shocked expression on his face.

"Is the scale of the gold mine you discovered so scary? Even the dog-headed gold can fill the entire ship, which is too exaggerated, right? If the nobles in Chang'an City knew that the dog-headed gold was so easy, would they be willing to spend a lot of money to auction the dog-headed gold and take it back to show off next time?"

"Is the dog-headed gold in the cabin? You can tell if you go with me and take a look." After hearing Li Geng's words, Li Yixie couldn't help but laugh, and took the initiative to go forward and took Li Geng's hand into the cabin.

During this period, Li Yixie was taken to bathe by Xiaoxiaoni or Apache every day, and he had become accustomed to holding hands between men.

However, Li Geng is not used to it.

Fortunately, it will take a while to go from the deck to the cabin.

“Huh?”

As soon as he stepped down the deck, Li Geng found that almost all the places where he settled were filled with yellow mud balls.

"Potato! Is this potato? Brother Li, is this potato?"

Li Geng broke free from Li Yixie's hand excitedly and leaned over and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, this is potatoes! His Highness the King of Chu said that the potatoes produced more than a thousand kilograms per mu were filled with a whole ship of potatoes. If we regard it as seeds, it would be enough to plant tens of thousands of acres or even more fields. It only takes a few years to give the people of the Tang Dynasty the opportunity to plant this high-yield crop, so that the people no longer have to worry about eating!"

Li Yixie couldn't help but feel excited.

There is no way, it is really a potato with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, which is too extraordinary for the Tang Dynasty.

Although I don’t know if potatoes are suitable for every place, as long as there are one or two courses to plant, the yield is already very scary.

"By the way, Brother Li, this time I went south, I only found potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and peppers. Among them, those natives said that they might have seen similar things in the wild. As long as there is enough time, they should be found; but corn and sweet potatoes have no clue at all. If you search the north, what will you gain?"

Li Yixie looked at Li Geng curiously.

This not only has a sense of comparison, but also really wants to know the search results of Li Geng.

"I'm ashamed to say that we have found some seeds of chili, but we haven't found any of the other crops. Even these potatoes have not been found. Apart from that chili, we have also found some special animals. In short, there is no way to compare with the harvest you went south."

Li Geng said a little embarrassedly.

Seeing that they were both gold mines and potatoes, I found the most useless chili pepper.

Li Geng himself disliked the taste of peppers, and felt that peppers had very low meaning for the Tang Dynasty. There was no big difference between finding and not finding them. I don’t know why His Royal Highness the King of Chu compared it with potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

"It's good to find chili peppers. There are four crops drawn on the album of His Royal Highness of Chu. You found chili peppers and I found potatoes, so you can pass the money. Calculate the time, we have been out for a long time, and it's almost time to go back."

After hearing Li Geng's answer, Li Yixie immediately restrained his joy and comforted him with words.

The show-off has been done, and everyone will be good friends after that.

"Brother Li, there are a total of five ships that we went to sea this time. I want to leave two ships to repair them slightly, and then I will continue to go north with the fleet. From the chart, you can reach North America by continuing to go north, where there is a wider land. This time we didn't find any shadows of corn and sweet potatoes. I guess they may be more suitable for growing in North America, so I want to take a look.

On the other hand, I also considered that one time and one time, it would be basically gone in a year, which would be too delayed by our exploration of the mysteries of America. So you brought three ships and this time to the Tang Dynasty, report the situation here to His Highness the King of Chu, so that more fleets can come to the Americas for adventure.

At the same time, I continue to go to North America to try to return from North America the next time you return to Port Hope. In this way, we can double the speed of exploring America."

Although Li Geng had this idea before, he had never made up his mind.

Now, under the stimulation of Li Yixie, he feels that he needs to continue working hard to find corn and sweet potatoes.

No crop is omnipotent, and it is impossible for every piece of land to be suitable for their growth.

However, if the people of the Tang Dynasty had three high-yield crops: potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, they could definitely find crops that suit them no matter which piece of land they were.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty truly solved the problem of hunger.

Of course, it is undeniable that Li Geng will make this decision and he has the intention of not wanting to lose to Li Yixie.

"Brother Li, although the distance here is not particularly long, from the chart, there is a section of the sea conditions in the middle that are similar to those in the South Ocean. His Highness the King of Chu also mentioned it and said that you should be more careful when ships appear here.

Now that everyone has left the Tang Dynasty for almost a year, their physical condition is not the best. Why don’t you go back with us first and wait until the next time, we will explore the west and east coasts of North America at the same time?"

Although Li Yixie felt that what Li Geng said made some sense, he felt that the risk was a bit high when continuing to explore North America.

So it's not particularly supportive.

"Didn't Your Highness the King of Chu say that 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day! While we are all young, hurry up and try more. In a few years, I'm afraid you won't have the energy to make a living. As for the physical condition of the seafarers you mentioned, there is a way to solve this, so that everyone can rest for a few more days in Hope Port."

The more Li Yixie disagreed with Li Geng continuing the adventure, the more Li Geng became more determined in his opinion.

There is no way, people sometimes like experts and horny.

"Since that's the case, let the 'Yang Benmann' continue to follow you. It is a blessing from the sea. With it carrying you to North America, we will definitely ensure that we are safe and sound. Then, we will leave more wine, tea, salt and other things on the other three ships, and you need them more than we do."

Li Yixie also knows Li Geng's character very well, and knows that if you continue to persuade him at this time, there will be no result.

Instead of doing this, it is better to improve your navigation plan and reduce the risks.

"Yes! I think you can also keep some of the potatoes on your boat to plant at Hope Port, which can be used as a supply for the fleet to solve the food problem. Otherwise, if you always rely on fishing, it will be a bit of a risk after all."

"When it comes to fishing, the fish in the seas in the south are almost everywhere. If you want to find enough fish near the port, you can move south for a few days and you will definitely catch a lot of fish."

Li Yixie also felt a sigh when he thought of the fish that were mistakenly considered a "siege monster".

This world is really amazing.

Li Yixie had no feelings about the saying "It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books."

Since going to sea, especially this trip to America, Li Yixie's understanding of this statement has been sublimated to a new level.

"Okay! We have a good exchange these two days, sorted out the situation in South America into a book, and took it all back to Guanshishan Academy. At the same time, we will also improve the construction plan of Hope Port and confirm who wants to go to North America with me, who stays in Hope Port, and who follows you back to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Geng and Li Yixie were in the cabin and in the potato pile, making arrangements for the future where the fleet would go.

Next, there will naturally be some specific details exchanges.

"What? You not only discovered gold mines? You also discovered silver mines larger than Ishimi Yinshan?"

"There are really natives living in the south?"

"In this world, there are people who can learn a language in just a few days? It's really incredible!"

"There are fish in a few miles apart? Is this too exaggerated?"

When Li Geng, Wen Daming and others listened to Li Yixie introducing his southbound experience, they kept making surprises.
