I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The happiest person is not Fengchao, but Xue Rengui.

After getting off the boat, he vomited out everything in his stomach, and hurried back to count the troops and equipment. He counted the guns and artillery, all of which he had to bring.

Been busy until late at night.

Xue Rengui counted the manpower and weapons and equipment, and then rushed to Tongfu restaurant.

He was in a hurry to go out, so he didn't have time to check the time, but at this point... the Tongfu restaurant should not be closed yet, right?
Wait for him to arrive.

The late-night guests gradually dispersed, and the group of scholars were drunk and insisted on going to the Bahe River to relive the grand occasion of the steamboat launching that day.

Yin Xuan's face twitched when he heard that.

Good guy... at night, if you go to the river when you are drunk, isn't that just lighting up a lantern to go to the toilet-court death?I don't even know how Li Taibai passed away unfortunately!

Oh... They really don't know, Li Bai shouldn't have been born at this time?

But if you're drunk, you really shouldn't go where there's water.

To put it bluntly, this group of scholars muttered that they were going to Xuandu to watch the peach blossoms, and staggered away.

Yin Xuan sighed, very sad.

There is a curfew in Chongdefang, it seems that this group of scholars will have to be punished, or they should be sober.He rubbed his hands, ready to follow and have a look.

A group of big men being beaten up screaming is also a fun to pass the time.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xue Rengui coming not far away.

Yin Xuan knew that tonight's fun could not be over, but there might be more fun coming.

Xue Rengui came up to meet him and was about to bow and salute.

Yin Xuan waved his hand and turned his head back a little: "Go, go to the second floor and talk."

There was no one on the second floor, but Di Renjie and the others had cleaned it up long ago. Although this big fat boy was young, he didn't procrastinate at all in his work.

"Da Lang, Fengchao said that the boat can go into the sea." On the second floor, after making sure that there was no one behind him, Xue Rengui couldn't wait to speak.

"Can't wait?" Yin Xuan looked at him with a smile.

Xue Rengui smirked: "There are some. If you don't use them properly, they will rust." The "they" in his mouth refers to those firearms.

"Have you prepared all the parameters for going into the sea?" Yin Xuan asked casually.

He hasn't read the new data that Fengchao sent today.

Xue Rengui nodded: "Well, everything is ready. Now Mrs. Wu said that she is going to use the dock on the side of Guangfu and go to Yizhou first."

"If this voyage is successful, we can sail further afield."

Yizhou...

Yizhou is an integral part of Tang Dynasty.

Yin Xuan nodded in agreement.

Xue Rengui couldn't wait to ask again: "Da Lang, if the launch is successful this time, where shall we go?"

Yin Xuan pondered for a while: "Let's go to Tianzhu."

"Let's get through the sea business first."

Yin Xuan wanted Xue Rengui to go directly to America, at least to bring the oak back.Now I have a way to produce rubber.

However, the output of rubber grass is very low, resulting in the high cost of rubber, and there is no way to become a cheap industrial product.

It can only be said that it can barely meet Datang's current production needs.

But the idea is wonderful, but the reality is cruel. What Datang needs now is not rubber, but a market—the kind of market where Tang money can be exchanged for various resources.

So... Tianzhu, a country that is still at the end of the most glorious period in their history, has become the most suitable choice for now.

Yin Xuan's impression of Tianzhu is actually not very deep.

Except for the sentence "Brothers, it's clean and hygienic, it's no problem." There is only one impression of Chen Xuanzang-the poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.

There are more or less Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions, and I read some under the guidance of my ex-girlfriend from the history department.

I only know whether the current Tianzhu should be in the period of Jieri Dynasty, or the Tianzhu people control this land, but... since then, Tianzhu has gone downhill.

It was rounded back and forth by Byzantium, by Mughals, and by Turks.

Instead of letting them eat fat, it is better to let yourself eat it, so that you can eat cleanly and not waste it.

In the land of Tianzhu, the reserves of iron ore and coal mines are not low, and there are also a lot of bauxite and mica. These are indispensable resources for industrial development.

Yin Xuan was reluctant to stick to the land of the Tang Dynasty. Although the land of Tianzhu was called a Buddhist land in Chen Xuanzang's mouth, there were more people who couldn't eat enough than in the Tang Dynasty.

It shouldn't be too much to feed them by yourself, and then exchange a few hundred million resources, right?

"Tianzhu?" Xue Rengui frowned slightly. He was a little unfamiliar with the name of this country. Datang often saw Persian businessmen, but businessmen from Tianzhu...seemed to have never heard of it?
Yin Xuan paused and recalled the world map: "Starting from Yizhou, crossing the South China Sea, you will arrive at Baiyue."

"Further south, cross a strait, and go northwest, you can reach Tianzhu."

Xue Rengui was a little surprised, his own Dalang is so young, but... he knows so much about these things?
He had never heard of Tianzhu.

But my Dalang can tell how to get there by sea.

But...the magic of my Dalang is not limited to this one, Xue Rengui has long been used to it, and will not ask questions about such things.

"It's a bit general, but the general method is like this." Yin Xuan broke free from the state of memory, shook his head with a smile, "you should be more careful when sailing."

"Nautical charts are to be done, too."

Xue Rengui nodded in response: "Understood."

Then, he discussed some other matters with Yin Xuan, and packed his luggage, as well as some weapons and equipment, and went to Guangfu.

Taking a boat by water is also the fourth test.

Although there were some bumps and bumps on the road, there was no problem with the ship as a whole—it was just that the captain was operating such a steamship for the first time, and he was inexperienced, so he made several near-misses.

To Guangfu Dock.

The people of Fengchao rested for a while, and re-tested the data of the ship at the seaside. The result of this test was not very different from the value they calculated.

The fifth trial officially started.

Xue Rengui went into battle in person, led twenty rangers, and set sail for a long voyage—oh, steam ships don’t have sails, that’s just honking their whistles for long voyages.

Yizhou is far away.

In addition, the sea chart is not very clear, and the weather has gradually turned hot after sailing back and forth for nearly two months.

Although Yizhou relies on the sea for food, but...they don't know that people from Datang came and left secretly.

Yin Xuan has no idea about this land boundary now.

Let Li Shimin deal with it later, he doesn't need to bother.

The fifth test data was handed over to Fengchao. Xue Rengui, who had sunburned eight degrees in two months at sea, looked at the sea, clenched the gun in his hand, and there was a flicker in his eyes.
