Li Shimin

Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xuan expectantly, muttering something and making gestures.

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

The old man was overjoyed, and quickly took the bottle of refined salt with both hands.

Then, after carefully looking at it, he hid the small bottle of refined salt in his bosom.

Immediately, he quickly ran to the side hut, took off the bunches of peppers, and handed them to Li Xuan respectfully.

Li Xuan smiled gently, took the pepper and handed it to the guard behind him.

At the same time, he slowly shook his head at the old man, and pointed at the chili strings on the surrounding houses again.

Seeing this, the old man was startled, and then he murmured something to the natives behind him.

The natives were startled, and then hurried to their respective houses.

Then, he took off the peppers and handed them to Li Xuan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

And the old man relaxed a little.

Afterwards, after Li Xuan handed the chili peppers to the guards behind him, he looked around the small village with curiosity again.

This time, these natives looked at Li Xuan expectantly, without any expression of fear before.

After a while.

Li Xuan stopped at a round pile of firewood.

He took out one and looked at it carefully for a long while. The more he looked, the more he felt that it was corn stalks.

So, he pointed to the corn husks to the old man, and motioned to the old man behind him.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly signaled Li Xuan to follow him.

He brought Li Xuan into a room, and then stopped in front of a large pottery vat.

Open the wooden lid on the clay pot.

Inside, small yellow corn kernels were exposed.

"Master, is this corn?"

On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi couldn't help but brighten their eyes and asked expectantly.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that in this small village, I could find two kinds of gods in succession!"

"Come here, bring me another small bottle of refined salt!"

Li Xuan shouted towards the outside.

Soon, a personal guard took out a small bottle of refined salt again.

Seeing this, the old man was overjoyed.

Li Xuan pointed to the jar of corn and stretched out a finger.

Then, he pointed to the bottle of refined salt and stretched out five fingers!
Seeing this, the old man was stunned, and then his face was filled with anxiety, while he was talking, he was gesticulating randomly.

These corns are all their food, and if they take away five cylinders at once, they will be hungry in the future!
Li Xuan was furious.

The old man suddenly panicked!
Hastily stretched out three fingers, and hastily knelt down.

"Master, this old man is too ungrateful, why don't I go to the town ahead to have a look?"

Behind him, Cheng Chusi looked angry.

"These corns are their rations. If we take them all away, they will starve. Wait, I'll look again. Since they have corn and peppers, they should be growing other crops!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, without any anger.

Immediately, with the old man's frightened expression on his face, he searched around the entire house.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Xuan saw two piles of things still covered with dry mud in a corner, his eyes lit up.

Hastily bent down, picked it up and took a look.

Immediately, he was overjoyed.

"Master, are these sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Behind them, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others stared at the two piles of things for a while, and then they reacted, with surprise on their faces.

"It's sweet potatoes and potatoes!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and said again: "I didn't expect that in this small village, I could find all of them at once!"

With that said, Li Xuan gestured to the old man again.

Three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes, plus two cylinders of corn, in exchange for a bottle of refined salt.

To this, the old man repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Just when Cheng Chusi and others glared at him, the old man realized that these are troops covered in steel armor and holding long knives, and they are willing to exchange that kind of beautiful and delicious salt with them, they are already very lucky up.

Li Xuan didn't expect that the old man was so knowledgeable.

So, he directly handed the refined salt in his hand to the old man.

The old man thanked again and again.

Immediately, he went out in a hurry and told the natives in the village.

Those people also hurried back to their homes and brought out their corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

While inside the house, Li Xuan walked around and came out after finding nothing else that needed to be brought back to Datang.

Soon, there were two large tanks of corn and three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up in the courtyard.

"My lord, what shall we do with these items?"

Xue Rengui asked.

"Bring them all back to the ship!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded quickly, and soon a soldier took out a sack.

Carefully put the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes into bags, and return the same way.

"Master, since we have found these, shall we go back to Datang?"

On the way, Cheng Chusi asked again.

"go back?"

Li Xuan was startled, then shook his head again and again.

"It's hard to come here, how can you leave so easily!"

"Master, then shall I continue fishing for gold in the river?"

Cheng Chusi said expectantly.

"Do you think it's enough for me to find these things?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Master, each of these things I'm looking for is enough to plant more than ten acres of land!" Cheng Chusi was a little puzzled.

"Hmph, it's only ten acres of land!"

Li Xuan sneered, "How can you guarantee that these things will be planted if they are buried in the soil?

Since we have come here and there are so many of them, we should look for a few more.Even if it can be planted, we can also use it as food and eat it on the road! "

"Eat on the road?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chusi's eyes lit up immediately, looking at the sacks carried by the soldiers, his face was filled with longing.

"Baoding, after you go back, put these things in the box, so that they cannot get wet or be bumped."

Li Xuan ignored Cheng Chusi and said directly to Li Baoding who was beside him.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Baoding quickly responded.

One night, nothing happened.

However, after learning that the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn that came to search for this time had all been found, all the soldiers and crew breathed a sigh of relief.

morning.

Li Xuan took a few veterans on board and took out eight large boxes, each of which was filled with soil.

Then, peppers, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were all planted according to the method in memory.

However, sweet potatoes seem to need to cultivate sweet potato seedlings first, and then plant those sweet potato seedlings into the soil.

After everything was arranged, several people started to set off again.

With the experience of yesterday's investigation, Li Xuan walked on the road of discovery.

Therefore, there is no hiding again.

After walking for two days, I met a few passers-by and a small village, but seeing Li Xuan's army, those passers-by and the people in the village were all terrified, and then hid far away. of.

Regarding this, Li Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to those natives.

"Master, I have been waiting for such an excellent army to appear here for two days. Since no local officers and soldiers have come to interrogate, the local government is so lax!"

Cheng Chusi looked puzzled.

At the same time, Xue Rengui and other soldiers had already started to be on guard.

And sent five teams of scouts.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is really no army to attack them.
