Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at Cheng Chusi.

"no!"

Cheng Chusi couldn't help laughing and said, he also reacted now.

"But master, why do those barbarians call this thing a poisoned apple?"

"That's their ignorance!"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, seeing Cheng Chusi, he continued to ask carefully, and said directly: "Okay, stop whatever you want to say! Now, please hurry up and sort out all these sweet potatoes for me.

Otherwise, if there is rotten sweet potato juice left on other sweet potatoes, it is easy to rot other sweet potatoes.

In addition, these tomatoes are taken out for my master, and this thing is also a must for cooking! "

"A must?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others' eyes lit up again.

"naturally!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, "This thing cooks and cooks, no matter how you cook it, it is extremely delicious!"

Another delicacy?

Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi were immediately full of motivation.

So far, on board, they have tried and tried sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, peppers, and even corn.

In addition to corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and peppers make them want to lick the bottom of the pot.

4 catties of sweet potatoes and more than [-] catties of potatoes, although every steel ship has an equal share.

But on Li Xuan's big boat, there were still 3000 catties of sweet potatoes and more than [-] catties of potatoes.

It took a whole afternoon to sort it out.

In Li Xuan's hand, there were more than 50 red tomatoes.

Li Xuan was overjoyed, some tomatoes were already ripe and soft, and the tomato seeds inside were also ripe.

So, Li Xuan dug out those seeds, and then used these tomatoes to make a pot of tomato fish in sour soup. Although there were not many, it was enough for everyone to have a small bite.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed!

He stared straight at the cauldrons with clean bottoms, and his face was full of longing, wishing to lick the bottoms of the pots again.

"Master, this thing is actually more fragrant than mature vinegar!"

Cheng Chusi still couldn't help smacking his mouth.

"This is natural. Although the barbarians in America are sparsely populated, they are a treasure land. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes, these crops are not available in my Tang Dynasty.

Also, you all just saw that there was gold flowing in those rivers.

But, have you ever thought about how many gold mines there are here even if there is gold flowing in the rivers! "

Li Xuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"hiss……"

Immediately, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but froze, and they thought of this situation.

Immediately, his eyes glowed with golden light.

"Okay, I'll give you tomato fish in sour soup made of tomatoes, just to let you know how delicious the food made of tomatoes is!"

Li Xuan said again, "It is ordered that early tomorrow morning, we will find a place to dock, and then put two big boxes of soil on each big ship, and plant these tomatoes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui clapped his hands in response, and then quickly went down to deliver the order.

The next day, while loading all the boats with soil, Li Xuan checked the other two boats.

Those soldiers are really good at handling crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Each of them is individually and neatly sorted out and placed there.

Moreover, they have been covered with thick thatch to prevent moisture and impact!

Li Xuan once again told the soldiers how to grow tomatoes.

During this period, the delay was less than an hour.

The whole fleet set off again.

A month later, the sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins and peppers planted in the entire fleet also began to sprout.

The fleet rested again, replenishing some fresh water and meat on the shore, and Li Xuan also took the opportunity to check the tender seedlings on all the fleet.

And the sweet potato seedlings were moved out and planted.

Then, on the fleet, some peppers, potatoes, tomatoes were planted.

Started off again.

Along the way, all the soldiers were eager to return home.

At the same time, next to the planting boxes of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and tomatoes, there are special personnel guarding them day and night.

During this period, every other month, the fleet stopped at the shore, mainly to replenish fresh water, and incidentally let the soldiers relax on the shore and replenish some meat.

So, it's summer.

Fortunately, the fleet has reached the southernmost section of America at this time, and it is not too hot.

After that, he began to follow the series of small islands, cross the ocean, and head to Yelu Island.

at the same time.

Things that make the entire fleet, everyone's heart full of joy, also appear.

The potato seedlings on the fleet have bloomed, and several small bags have bulged from the roots.

And the peppers also began to bloom, forming small green peppers one by one.

The pumpkins are also blooming, and they bear small pumpkins.

Of course, what pleased Li Xuan and others the most was that the tomatoes and corn were ready to eat.

The tomatoes were as bright as a child's fist. Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others picked one directly, washed it casually, and bit it into their mouths. It was sweet and sour.

The rest of the tomatoes were shared among the soldiers.

Everyone was filled with joy and shed tears of excitement.

As for the corn, Li Xuan left a few as seeds, and picked off the rest, cooked them, and ate them again, tender and sweet.

After landing here, it will be two months later.

The fleet crossed the ocean and returned to Yelu Island.

Everyone, go ashore again to replenish fresh water and meat.

At the same time, prepare to replace the soil again and plant another crop of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peppers, corn, and tomatoes.

Because the stems and leaves of potatoes and sweet potatoes finally withered.

All the soldiers on board, including those at the helm in the cabin, also came up, surrounded the wooden box, and looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others first walked to the first wooden box where sweet potatoes were grown, and carefully dug out all the sweet potatoes inside with their hands.

After digging out the first sweet potato, Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Chapter 601 You all have to hurry up and marry your mother-in-law and have a baby

"Master, this plant yielded nine sweet potatoes!"

"Great King Shenwu!"

"Hahaha, one plant can grow nine fist-sized sweet potatoes..."

Under this sweet potato seedling, nine huge sweet potatoes were dug out!

Similarly, the surrounding soldiers on the ship couldn't help it immediately, their faces were full of excitement, and some soldiers even burst into tears looking at the neatly arranged nine sweet potatoes.

They could all tell directly that the nine sweet potatoes dug out from such a plant weighed at least four to five catties.

Similarly, Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others were also extremely excited.

"This is the first plant. After digging out the remaining sweet potatoes, we'll see the situation!"

Li Xuan let out a sigh of relief, and began to plan the remaining sweet potatoes.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi didn't dare to delay, they quickly found a plant and started digging.

After a while, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others turned over the soil in the entire big wooden box, and dug out the remaining eleven sweet potato seedlings one by one.

At most one plant grew, eleven sweet potatoes were dug out, and at least eight sweet potatoes were dug out, but all the soldiers were already overjoyed.

They are all good at handling crops, so they don't need to seriously calculate, just use these twelve sweet potatoes to estimate, as long as they plant these sweet potatoes in their own fields, one mu of sweet potatoes can produce at least ten stones of sweet potatoes .

One mu produces ten stones!

You know, many of them have fields in their homes, and only one acre can grow about two stones of grain.

But now, they are going to take it back, and one acre can grow ten stones of sweet potatoes.

Just thinking about it, everyone is full of emotions and tears!

The king is indeed a sage of the world!

Next, Li Xuan didn't do anything, and asked Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others to plan the sweet potatoes.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers on the other two large ships to start peeling sweet potatoes.

Soon, five large boxes of sweet potatoes and five large boxes of potatoes on his boat were dug out.

Twelve sweet potatoes are planted in each large box, and each plant can produce 900 catties of sweet potatoes, and the five boxes are [-] catties. Three large ships, a total of more than [-] catties of sweet potatoes can be planted.

As for potatoes, twelve plants are planted in each large box, but only three catties of potatoes are dug out from each plant, so the three large boats planted a total of more than 540 catties of potatoes.

But looking at the piles of fresh sweet potatoes and potatoes that were still stained with yellow soil, all the soldiers were full of excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for finding such a fetish for the people of Tang Dynasty!"

"As long as the two gods are brought back to Datang, then we and the common people will never be hungry again!"

"Back to Datang, as long as the king has something to do, just send someone to inform, and I will hand over these people weighing more than 100 catties to the king. Even if it is a knife, I will never frown! "

"Exactly, King Dan has a mission..."

In an instant, all the soldiers, including the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion, also knelt down towards Li Xuan with solemn faces.

These soldiers are all rough men who plan food in the fields, and they are the most friendly.

A piece of sweet potato that can yield ten stones per mu, and another kind of potato that can yield six or seven stones per mu, no matter which one is, it is a great kindness to these farmer guys.

Life after life, I still don't know that.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan was also shocked.

However, no hypocritical words were said.

Instead, he laughed loudly.

"Your intentions, this king knows. However, in Datang, it seems that no one except your Majesty dares to bully this king. Therefore, this king does not need you to kill and set fire for this king.

After all, in terms of destroying houses, killing people and setting fires, the sum of a thousand of you can't compare to this king alone! "

Hearing this, all the soldiers couldn't help but startled, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.

It seems that this is really the case.

In terms of killing and fighting, all of them may not be able to compare with this King Jin.

Then how should they repay the kindness of King Jin?

Li Xuan continued: "Besides, you may not have thought about it, but you are all responsible for bringing these gods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers back to Tang Dynasty from America thousands of miles away.

If it weren't for everyone, who would drive such a huge ship?Just relying on me and a few people, I can't reach America.
