Ji Tang

Chapter 495: His face turned black and his face turned red!
Ji Song can't care about Chang'an now, nor does he want to care about it, and it has little to do with him.

In order to reduce safety on the fleet, he strictly controlled the load on board.

Therefore, Ji did not make any profit from this voyage, and even suffered a lot of losses.

Therefore, when he heard about the turmoil in the court again, he had already returned to the academy. He had more important things to deal with.

Because, Sanxiao is back.

Academy, in Ji Song's small courtyard.

Led by Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng and Wang Xuance saluted Ji Song from the side.

"The students have returned from overseas and come to see Sir!"

Ji Song looked at the three people who were originally handsome young men, but now they looked like three black coals, with the colors on their faces and necks obviously different.

They had been on the boat for half a year, with wind and rain coming and going all day long. It was easy to imagine the hardship they had gone through.

"Good good!"

Ji Song said hello repeatedly, but he couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.

After all, they have matured. Compared with their previous recklessness, the performance of the three of them this time is remarkable. Although there are still some shortcomings, it is already amazing.

He nodded and said with a smile: "I still have the foresight to let you get married in advance. If you look like this now, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future!"

The three of them looked at each other, a little scared when they looked at the black coal-like faces in each other's eyes.
Next, the three of them began to explain to Ji Song the details of their trip to sea.

Ji Song listened to what they were saying without interrupting. Only when he was unclear would he speak up to understand.

This conversation lasted from noon to sunset.

Looking at the thirsty Sanxiao, Ji Song couldn't stop laughing.

He poured tea for them personally, and the three of them were not polite. They brought the bowls and started drinking.

"Slow down, no one is competing with you, so why rush!"

Ji Song said angrily.

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't keep you here. I think everyone in the family is impatient, so go back quickly. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Ji Song didn't plan to say anything else today. When he came back, his family was waiting for them to eat. If he stayed any longer, he would probably blame himself to death.

"Student, come back tomorrow to visit sir!"

When they heard about home, their hearts became eager.

After half a year at sea, even a sow can compete with Diao Chan. Compared with half a year at home, the sweet wife just stays in the boudoir. She can't wait, right?
How could the appearance of the three of them be hidden from Ji Song?
With a wave of his hand, he told the three of them to get out of here!
The third child was not polite and left with a smile.

After the three of them left, Ji Song began to sort out the manuscripts they had left behind. These were all the navigation diaries they had recorded at sea during the past six months.

Don't underestimate this thing, as long as you organize it a little, it will become a precious navigation manual.

From the above, we can not only understand the specific details of this voyage, but also deduce the situation in that sea area during this time period, which can be described as a precious occasion.

They might just regard this voyage diary as a mission, but Ji Song can't.

He must extract and summarize the useful things inside before they go to sea again to avoid making the same mistakes next time.

He looked at it and saw that there were thousands of pages. This was the result of using charcoal. If he had used a brush, it would probably be tens of thousands of pages.

He didn't think much. No matter how cautious you are when sailing on the sea, let alone now?

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty is still basically ignorant about maritime matters, and there is no precedent for many things.And the Third Primary School is now the forerunner. There is no precedent or guidance. Everything needs to be summed up and explored by them themselves.

This is why he insisted that they wait for at least three exploration voyages before setting off.

Without a certain amount of experience in sea navigation, just diving into the vast sea is no different from hanging your head on your belt.

He didn't spend so much effort just to let them die.

Therefore, early preparation is very important and an indispensable part.

From the third year of Zhenguan to the seventh year of Zhenguan, he has been preparing for this matter for four full years.

After half a year of repairs, we will load up a few large ships and go north along the coastline until we reach the strait and then return.

At this time, a round trip will take at least a year.

Finally, it will take at least half a year to integrate all resources and officially set off.

Therefore, there are less than two years left before the official departure.

In his opinion, this time is too urgent, but Ji Song can't help it. The annual cost of the fleet is too high, and even Ji Song can't bear it.

What's more, the imperial court will not let this fleet with basically no output continue to exist.

With this trip to Nanyang, they can't wait to set off again, but how can Ji Song really go to Nanyang again?
For him, the wealth on the sea is there and cannot escape. Sooner or later it will all belong to the Tang Dynasty.

With the invincible fleet successfully returning from the other side of the ocean, isn't the sea of ​​this era still open to the Tang Dynasty?
The idea is good, but not everyone can see the future. More people focus on immediate interests.

For the unknown other side of the ocean, this trip to Southeast Asia is where their interests lie.

Ji Song believes that it won't be long before someone comes to the door.

With such great benefits, no one wants the fleet to do this kind of meaningless exploration again.

Therefore, Ji Song must hurry up and get the fleet out to sea as soon as possible, otherwise the variables will be too great.

He didn't know how long the emperor could resist for him?

What's even more worrying is that even the emperor can't bear it anymore. This is what Ji Song doesn't want to see.

He didn't want his plan to fail. No matter who stood in the way, he would be his enemy.

If, if there was really a disagreement, Ji Song would have no choice but to cut off his wrists
Hope there won't be such a day!

He read the voyage diary very carefully, fearing that he might miss something and cause problems.

It wasn't until midnight that I couldn't hold it any longer and fell asleep on the table.
Ji Song slept soundly. He dreamed that he was sailing on the sea with countless fleets, overcoming obstacles, resisting wind and waves, and fighting against the power of heaven and earth.
With its mouth open, there is a whale the size of a house, a white and innocent dolphin, a ferocious shark, a huge octopus, and all kinds of strange species.

He stood on the bow of the ship. When he encountered pirates, he would throw them into the sea to feed the fish. When he encountered a country that was not overestimating its capabilities, he would destroy it like a torrent.
"Sir, sir"

Just when he was holding a girl with blond hair and blue eyes and a proud figure and was about to do something, he heard someone calling him again.

Who is this, so blind?

"Who?"

He was dreaming again and said impatiently.

But when he opened his eyes, he was stunned.

Three people were lying in front of him, calling him. When he looked down, his saliva was all over the table.
Ji Song's face darkened, and his old face couldn't help but turn red.
