Hearing this, Li Chongyi was startled and subconsciously looked at Li Xuan aside.
Li Xuan sighed softly.
"They are all rotten. Even if they are used as seeds and can be planted with some luck, the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown are not good varieties. It is better to eat them so as not to waste them.
Besides, on the way back, I had eaten almost 30,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, more than 40,000 kilograms of potatoes, more than 10,000 kilograms of corn, and 500 kilograms of pumpkins.
Now, there is no shortage of more than ten kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
"Eate 30,000 catties of sweet potatoes and 40,000 catties of potatoes?"
Li Xiaogong's eyes widened and his face suddenly felt distressed.
"The journey is so long, and every day the sweet potatoes and potatoes begin to mold and rot. Why don't we eat them?"
Li Xuandan laughed, and then told Li Chongyi and Cheng Chusi, "Okay, you all know how to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes. Don't be stunned and start cooking quickly!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong opened his mouth. Although his face was still full of distress, he did not continue to object.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others looked happy, and quickly bowed slightly to Li Xuan and Li Xiaogong, then walked to the kitchen with the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
They are also very familiar with Soga Ezo's mansion.
As for eating potatoes and sweet potatoes like this, the 30,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 40,000 kilograms of potatoes on the ship were not eaten for nothing.
Half an hour later.
Li Xiaogong and a group of navy generals ate steamed sweet potatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, steamed pumpkin and other dishes in their hands. Everyone's eyes were bigger than copper bells.
His face was full of shock.
At the same time, they all stuck out their tongues and licked their respective bowls until they were shiny.
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and even this pumpkin, are they all so delicious?"
“Still full!”
Li Xuan chuckled.
"Such a sacred object must be brought back to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible and presented to His Majesty!"
Li Xiaogong said hurriedly.
"Let's rest for a day. I will set off the day after tomorrow and return to Datang!" Li Xuan said.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was startled. He couldn't help but think of the two warships he had just sent out.
According to the speed of the three giant steel ships of King Jin's fleet, it should only take five days to catch up with those two warships, right?
It really messed him up!
"But what's wrong?"
Li Xuan frowned slightly and asked with some doubts.
"When the King of Jin and the Crown Prince just disembarked from the ship, I sent someone to announce the good news to Chang'an!" Li Xiaogong explained.
Hearing this, Li Xuan chuckled.
"It doesn't matter, I'll go back first, and the people sent by Brother Wang can return to Qingzhou slowly!"
Regarding this, Li Xiaogong could only sigh helplessly.
Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others had strange faces.
Then, thinking of something, Li Xiaogong gave an order to the lieutenants on the side.
"Send the order and the whole army is ready to pack up. I will set off the day after tomorrow and return to Datang!"
"yes!"
The generals clasped their fists to accept the order, and then went down to make arrangements.
"Brother Wang also wants to return to Tang?"
Li Xuan asked with some confusion.
"I have already collected all the taxes from the Japanese country. Since the King of Jin and the Crown Prince have returned to the country, it's time for us to go back too!" Li Xiaogong replied with a relaxed look.
"That's it. Thank you Brother Wang for making the special trip to wait for me again!"
Li Xuan slightly bowed his hand, although this time Li Xiaogong was ordered to come to Japan to wait for them.
But, after all, she can still wait for him, and he has to accept this feeling!
Then, without waiting for Li Xiaogong to speak, he continued: "It's just that sweet potatoes and potatoes need to be planted in the soil urgently, so we can't sail with the navy fleet!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's important to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, these sacred things!"
Li Xiaogong hurriedly waved his hand.
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
Then, they once again recounted their journey to America.
However, it was usually Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others who talked, while Li Xiaogong was listening.
Li Xuan sat aside and took a nap with his eyes closed.
He really couldn't rest well on the boat.
However, I have been sitting here, listening to Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others bragging to Li Xiaogong.
And Li Xiaogong was also surprised, without any doubt.
Li Xuan wanted to laugh but felt that he couldn't. It would be bad if it disturbed everyone's interest.
But I wanted to sleep, but the voices of Cheng Chusi, Li Xiaogong and others were too noisy.
So, after thinking for a long time, Li Xuan quietly stood up and walked back.
Behind you, you can still faintly hear the excited voices of Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others.
"Uncle, you don't know that the small island suddenly erupted into flames, reaching a height of a hundred feet, and the whole sky turned red. Even sitting on the boat, I felt unbearably hot!"
"Hundreds of whales bigger than steel ships jumped up ten feet away from us. Their blood-red fangs, which were bigger than the main hall where we were sitting, frightened all the veterans and paralyzed them.
sit on the floor……"
"Moreover, when I came back, I encountered a big storm and huge waves, which directly threw the steel ship hundreds of feet high on the sea, and then smashed into the sea. Fortunately, the steel ship was strong..."
"Uncle, you don't know..."
In this way, for two consecutive days, with nothing to do, Li Xiaogong dragged Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others to sit together and listened to these little bastards telling him everything they had seen and heard on their way to America.
Li Baoding and Wang Xuance, on the other hand, were hiding in the room and continuing to sort out their books.
"American Experience"!
The third day.
Li Xuan took Li Chengqian and others directly onto the giant steel ship and headed for Qingzhou.
As for Li Xiaogong, as the general manager of the Japanese road, he could only follow the Tang navy, slowly and leisurely behind Li Xuan and others.
It's just, less than half a month.
Li Xiaogong and others could not see the fleet of Li Xuan and others.
Instead, he waited for the two warships he had sent to Chang'an to announce the good news.
This time, the fleet replenished enough food and fresh water in Japan.
Li Xuan did not stop at any time along the way, and arrived at Qingzhou Seaport more than two months later.
"At the end of the day, I will rush to the school captain Cheng Duanbo to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"
Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others had just got off the ship when they saw Captain Cheng Duanbo of Qingzhou Zhechong, leading a group of troops, hurried over.
"Cheng Duanbo, why are you still serving as the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Qingzhou?"
When he got off the boat, he saw an acquaintance and Li Xuan couldn't help but feel very good.
"Hehe, His Highness King Jin doesn't know that Qingzhou has been promoted to Shangfu now!"
Cheng Duanbo chuckled.
"In that case, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion and wealth!"
Li Xuan smiled.
Previously, Qingzhou was the Zhongfu, and Zhechong Duwei in Zhongfu was from the fourth rank.
Now, Qingzhou is directly promoted to Shangfu, so Qingzhou's Zhechong Captain will be directly promoted to the fourth rank.
The level is directly upgraded three levels in a row! (from the lower level of the fourth level, from the upper level of the fourth level, to the lower level of the fourth level, to the upper level of the fourth level!)
"General, I would like to thank His Highness the King of Jin and His Highness the Crown Prince for their support!"
Cheng Duanbo said quickly.
It was really because of Li Xuan that Qingzhou was promoted to Shangfu. As for Cheng Duanbo, he was able to jump three levels in a row and continue to stay in the position of Zhechong Commandery of Qingzhou. Most of the credit was due to the attack on Beisha City and Shicheng.
Because of the cave city.
This is again the credit of Li Xuan.
As for Li Chengqian’s contribution?
Cheng Duanbo has been with Cheng Zhijie for so many years and has long learned the essence of Cheng Zhijie's generalship.
"This is His Majesty's respect for you. What does it have to do with the king and the prince?"
