I receive courier in Datang
Chapter 255 Fleet
Chapter 255 Fleet
I don't know why, while eating, my shoulders bleed?Who can stand this!She was so frightened that she almost suffocated, and then tears fell involuntarily.
"Am I going to die? I'm still young and I don't want to die yet!" Kong Junyao said.
The disease of sudden bleeding from the shoulder is really horrible, she doesn't feel it, and generally speaking, this kind of disease without feeling is the most serious.
Stomach pain is very painful but can be solved by going to the latrine, and some diseases that don't hurt can't be cured.
Li Chengqian felt that this was a good opportunity to give this scheming girl a good beating.
Li Chengqian said: "Oh, this disease that bleeds so much blood without a wound on the shoulder, even someone like me who knows astronomy and geography has never seen it. I'm afraid you will die soon. Since ancient times, the beauty is so unlucky, oh... ..."
Kong Junyao burst into tears now. She was indeed frightened by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian did know a lot of things, even he didn't know. What should he do?
"I don't care, I'm your tea girl, you have to cure me!" Kong Junyao said.
Li Chengqian said: "We will do our best!"
The tone of his speech was exactly the same as that of those doctors who pronounced the death sentence on patients with terminal cancer.
After hearing these words, Kong Junyao felt bad all over!What does it mean we will do our best!The tone is obviously full of regret, okay?
At this time, Luo Li saw that the sweat on the black phantom seemed different. She touched it and saw a layer of blood on her hand.
Luo Li said: "This is the sweat on the Black Phantom's body, not the blood on your body. He is lying to you!"
Li Chengqian was embarrassed and was exposed, hehe...
Kong Junyao was surprised, touched the black phantom, it was really blood and sweat.
Kong Junyao said: "Li Chengqian, is your horse okay? Is it sick?"
"It's fine, it's very energetic, eats a lot, sleeps soundly, what's the matter?" Li Chengqian said.
"That's good."
Kong Junyao can only write down the fact that Li Chengqian lied to her, and settle the score later, there is no other way now.
There was no taste in Li Chengqian's mouth, so he wanted to say something flirty.
"You girls, eat more pig's blood. After all, you bleed every month. It is very important to make up for what is lacking, you know?" Li Chengqian said.
The three of them cast blank glances at Li Chengqian, the dignified prince, who actually said such indecent things!It's really speechless.
However, these dishes made with pig blood are indeed delicious. They are the new version of Chuan Xin that I have never tasted before.
The skin of the black phantom is black, but the skin of the pig is different. The skin of the pig is white, and the skin of the black pig is also white. Therefore, the pig is also called a white pig.
Kong Junyao rolled his eyes and thought of an interesting thing.
"Hey, tell me, if we collect the sweat from the black phantom, can we make a meal of horse blood?" Kong Junyao asked.
Black Phantom, look at this woman, she has really strong taste!It doesn't matter, it's sweating, it's a regular thing.
Li Chengqian said: "Okay, I can help you collect."
He found a bowl and waved his hand, and all the sweat on the black phantom's body fell into the bowl drop by drop.
In a short time, he actually filled this small bowl. The black phantom was a little surprised. Not to mention, this thing looked like a bowl of blood.
Kong Junyao asked: "Is this blood or sweat?"
Li Chengqian said: "It's blood and sweat, it's just that there is some blood mixed in the sweat."
Kong Junyao was shocked: "Then wouldn't it mean that if you sweat for a while, you will die of lack of blood?"
Li Chengqian said: "You don't know anything about animals. In fact, blood is eliminated every day. After bleeding, it will be replenished faster. Sometimes bleeding is good for the body."
"Who said this? Why didn't I know?" Mo Yu asked.
Li Chengqian couldn't answer. He couldn't say it was the people at the blood collection station who said it!
Li Chengqian said: "But having said that, Kong Junyao, you should go home. You have been here for a few days, and everyone in your family is looking for you like crazy. If you don't go back, if you find you in the future, you will inevitably be taught a lesson."
Kong Junyao said: "I won't go back! It's boring! It's not as fun as here."
Li Chengqian said: "After all, it's your family, why don't I tell them, how about you live here first?"
"You say I'll kill myself! You killed me!" Kong Junyao said.
Li Chengqian: "..."
No idea!
Then he can only hope that his subordinates will accidentally leak the news.
But it seems a bit difficult, Kong Junyao does not leave the gate now, the servants here, except for a few core ones, do not know she is there, Li Chengqian thinks of this, and thinks that the people here should see Kong Junyao.
"From now on, let people take turns to serve you in the backyard. We have to do this well, and we have money. We can't treat you badly." Li Chengqian said.
"No need." Mo Yu said.
"I have the final say." Li Chengqian said.
Kong Junyao saw through Li Chengqian's trick at a glance. She naturally had a way to deal with it. She could just hide when the time came.
Another thing worth noting is that Li Chengqian noticed that Mo Yu's attitude towards Kong Junyao had changed. It seemed that the scheming girl was indeed very powerful, and these two idiots had no choice.
Xiao Ningzi came over and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, there is a big matter for you to decide."
"What's the matter?"
"The big boat is finished, it's time to go down the river." Xiao Ningzi said.
Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised, the ship was finally built?Very good!
In this era, many people still can't afford to eat, but they can't be complacent and not explore the world because of this.
People who need to look up at the starry sky in any era, it is a bit difficult to go to the sky now, so let's explore the world first.
Li Chengqian said: "In this case, open to everyone and recruit sailors, this ship will ride the wind and waves, go to a distant place, and explore this world covered by fog."
Xiao Ningzi: "???"
This ship does have such strength. After all, it cost a lot of money, but didn't Li Chengqian build this ship for his own enjoyment?
There is even a place for raising horses on this boat. It is a pioneering work to raise horses on board!It's just that I don't think it's so good to hear this.
"How does Your Highness plan to choose someone?" Xiao Ningzi asked.
"Of course, the first thing is to have good water quality. Even if the boat capsizes, we can still find a place nearby to leave our Tang people's fire." Li Chengqian said.
Don’t speak human words!
Xiao Ningzi said: "Don't we still need women?"
Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right, you've already learned how to answer quickly!"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's mind became active, how about a swimming competition?But now that the weather is cooling down, the swimming competition seems a bit difficult!
Since the Prince's Mansion has become a greenhouse, it seems necessary to hold a swimming competition now.
Soon, Li Chengqian's sailing plan was fully announced, and everyone who saw this plan was shocked!
This plan is not for making money, but for exploration!Usually they go to the west, but this time it is good, it is in the direction of Fusang!
Is this still the prince who likes to make money?
At the same time, Li Chengqian went to find Bianji. Compared with before, this guy looked more courageous now. Obviously, the person Li Chengqian sent to teach him was very capable and taught him well.
"Bianji, what did you learn?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Skills in the house, cooking skills, of course, and most importantly, forbearance." Bian Ji said.
When he said the words "Zhishu in the room", there was no smell of fireworks, as if he was talking about the purest and most beautiful thing in the world.
Li Chengqian couldn't believe it.
"What do you think of my arrangement?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Fusang rituals and music collapsed, and I really need to give them some faith. In order to accomplish this, it's nothing to sell a little color." Bian Ji said.
Li Chengqian was overjoyed: "Okay! If that's the case, go and say goodbye to your master, and then prepare to set off. The fleet happens to pass by Fusang, where will you be placed then."
"So good."
After solving this matter, Li Chengqian was in a good mood. This can be considered a great achievement. What a wonderful ending!
As for the venues for swimming competitions, we can just leave them to the Ministry of Industry. Once they are built, they can be opened to the public for a fee. It doesn't matter.
He has more important things to do, to prepare supplies for the fleet.
Of course, a place like a stable cannot be left empty. The best way is to raise some hens. These hens are very important. They can lay eggs at ordinary times, but they can be killed for meat if it is not possible.
As for other things, weapons are very important. Unlike Datang, other places are the capital of etiquette, and there are always dangers.
He even wanted to go with the fleet, so as to ensure the safety of the fleet, but he still held back, he could not leave here.
The things other than weapons are probably oranges. If there are vitamin C tablets, of course he wants to prepare them for the fleet. It is very convenient. If not, oranges are better.
These are things he can think of, and Datang, who is mature in navigation, must be aware of these things.
The most important thing is naturally a navigation chart. I have never received it before, so I can only draw it with negative emotion points and add a girl's prayer.
After making these preparations, the rest is to select people for training. The training must be carried out under his nose, otherwise it would be better to do it in coastal areas, after all, the people there are more water-savvy.
The venue chosen by the Ministry of Industry is an abandoned mansion. With a little modification, the swimming pool is built, and a swimming pool is completed.
As for the fact that you can swim when the weather is cold, it is easy to solve, just heat the water.
Speaking of which, this swimming pool will probably become a bathhouse in the future, and it will be a very large bathhouse. Li Chengqian didn't seem to have thought of this.
A few days after the horse-drawn carriage race, there was another swimming competition, and the people began to talk about it.
"I heard that His Royal Highness can walk on water."
"Doesn't that mean he's going to win the championship again this time?"
"It's obvious!"
……
Li Chengqian had no intention of participating, so he could not set off with the fleet.
The rewards for this competition are not as high as the previous ones, and the reason is very simple, driving requires more money to practice.
And swimming?Xiaohe can practice. Besides, there is no shortage of such practice places in Chang'an City, but there are still many people who don't have the money to buy a car.
Since there are too many applicants, it is necessary to screen the applicants.
There was no swimming competition before, so it was very troublesome. Lu Zihou found Li Chengqian and told him about it.
"Your Highness, many people say how good they are at swimming, but we can't put them in the swimming pool to try. It's too time-consuming. What should we do?" Lu Zihou asked.
"Our prize money for this competition is still very generous, No.1 has a thousand guan." Li Chengqian said.
Lu Zihou said: "Yes, everyone came here for money, so much money is enough to buy a house, everyone wants to try their luck."
"Well, we can ask these participants to pay a deposit first to ensure their swimming speed. If they are slow, the deposit will be ours. In this way, many people will give up in spite of the difficulties." Li Chengqian said.
Lu Zihou was surprised, this is indeed a good way!Isn't this the idea of using insurance backwards?sharp!
After the plan was announced, two-thirds of the people chose not to sign up. Just kidding, they originally wanted to make some money, but ended up losing money?They don't do it!
Besides, they just want to try their luck, and they know very well how strong they are.
The qualifiers were very exciting. Li Chengqian found that most people used the method of diving. Indeed, diving is the fastest method.
I haven't seen that kind of fish swimming upstream on the water surface. Obviously swimming on the water surface does not meet the needs of labor saving.
Li Chengqian, who was watching the competition, had no objections. After all, when it comes to the sea, everyone depends on their ability. No matter how you swim, surviving is the most important thing.
What surprised him the most was that some people can swim directly from the beginning to the end of the water, which is unbelievable!
Of course, this is for ordinary people, he can also do it, but ordinary people are really powerful.
Speaking of which, a good swimmer like this can win glory for the country at the sports meeting, but now he has to go overseas to fight for it, and there is a high probability that he will not come back.
In the semi-finals, the competition became more intense. Li Chengqian arrived and decided to give a speech.
"I did not place an advertisement for this swimming competition. I am not here to make money. I am investing for the future. I have already invested a lot before. Everyone should know that such an investment cannot withstand failure!"
Everyone knows what investment Li Chengqian is talking about, that is, that ship, which is indeed very powerful.
"However, the probability of failure in this matter is very high. The place you are going to is far away, and the people there will not be as reasonable as us. It is very likely that we will encounter a war."
"Therefore, those who want to quit can leave now. I won't stop you. To be honest, no one may be able to come back from this trip."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, looking at these people, none of them left. This is Datang, this is the integrity of a nation, and this is the biggest reason why Datang is strong!
For a lofty goal, no matter what they do, they are all holding their breath. Since Datang needs them, they will definitely stand up!
Li Chengqian was very moved, the money is not wasted, with such people, it is worth the money!
