Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　The sun shines from above, brightening the seabed.

　　The underwater world finally unfolded in front of the two of them little by little.

　　Although they often heard Lizhi talking about the scenery of the underwater world, they were not shocked by what they saw with their own eyes.

　　Who would have thought that the underwater world would be so colorful, the mountains and rivers on the ground could not even be compared.

　　You can see countless fish playing, and the brightly colored seagrass swaying with the waves, forming a beautiful landscape, which is unimaginable no matter how you imagine it.

　　"It's so beautiful, isn't this palace a dream? Why is it so unreal." Empress Zhangsun said blankly.

　　"Mother, this is the sea area with a depth of more than ten meters. Every place on the seabed of the sea has different scenery and different depths. The scenery is different for different depths. We have been down for more than ten days, and we have only turned the sea area around the island for more than [-] miles. Finished." Li Zhi said.

　　"It's unbelievable. If you can build a palace under the sea and live there, the Dragon Palace in the mythology, how beautiful it would be." Li Er sighed with emotion.

　　"It's not impossible!! If you have dozens of people who are capable of tortoise fruit, you can ask them to help build a palace on the bottom of the sea." Lu Xiu laughed.

　　Not to mention the bottom of the sea, even building a palace in the sky on the clouds is not impossible for Lu Xiu.

　　Not now, of course, but later.

　　If the system is lucky enough to get the golden lion fruit, it can even directly float the imperial palace in Chang'an City directly above a few kilometers in the sky.

　　Thinking of the appearance of a palace tower standing in the sky in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Xiu felt that it should be very interesting.

　　"Hehe, I'm afraid that only the son-in-law can do it." Li Er dared to hope to have such a large number of tortoise fruits, if Lu Xiu could give him seven or eight, Li Er would have already burned a high incense.

　　The main thing that makes Li Er feel the most is that he can't have two fruit abilities at the same time. Although he has the ability to swim in the sea because of the tortoise fruit, he will lose the ability to transform into a falcon to soar in the sky.

　　Instructed Li Er and the others to familiarize themselves with the environment in the shallow water area. Lu Xiu took Li Lizhi and the three girls to swim to the deep water. Naturally, he wanted to explore the fun places under the sea. .

Chapter 194

　　It was after five o'clock in the evening that Li Er and the others reluctantly returned to the shore from the bottom of the sea.The bottom of the sea at night, except for the darkness, has no other scenery, and there is nothing to see if you continue to stay in the sea.

　　What they saw and heard today opened their eyes to the scenes they had never seen in their entire lives.

　　Fortunately, he plans to stay on the island for most of the next winter, or else he will not move Zaochao to the island and replace his falcon ability with tortoise fruit.

　　If the palace on the island can be repaired sooner, you don’t even need to go back to the palace to sleep at night, and you can live directly in the palace on the island, which will be much more convenient.

　　And Li Er can bring his favorite concubine and several beloved princes to the island together, so that they can also have a good time on the island.

　　Otherwise, outside the city of Chang'an at this time, it was snowing heavily with goose feathers, and it was extremely cold.

　　In the cold winter, people freeze to death every year, and there may be more this year.

　　Rich people are not afraid of winter, they usually light a stove in their house and wear a warm fur coat, but who doesn't want to have a warm winter?

　　In the cold winter, they don't want to go out.When he woke up in the morning, Li Er didn't even want to leave the warm bed.

　　…………

　　After returning from the bottom of the sea, Lu Xiu replaced his tortoise fruit ability with the door fruit.

　　After moving all the carpenters and coolies who were working on the construction back to Chang'an City, he opened a door and moved to the top of the building boat.

　　Every five days, Lu Xiu would get on the boat to check on the situation, lest they have any accident.

　　"Qian Yong, during the time I was away, nothing happened on the ship, right?" On the deck, Lu Xiu found that the building ship was already docked in a simple port.

　　"Hey, Zhuangzhu Lu, you've come." Seeing Lu Xiu appear, Qian Yong ran in front of him excitedly, "Our ship went south from Lingnan, and we found a treasure island for us."

　　"Treasure Island?" Lu Xiu immediately wondered if they were Ryukyu.

　　"That's right, the island is huge, and there are many treasures on it. How ignorant is the owner of Lu Zhuang, there are many kinds of spices planted, and the rice that is abundant on the island can be produced three times a year." Qian Yong's eyes have turned into coins. shape.

　　"Three times a year?" Li Er, who was behind him, was full of shock on his face.

　　"That's right. But I won't be able to speak to them, and I won't be able to communicate with them. If I can buy a boatload of spices and rice and go back, I'll definitely be able to multiply it dozens of times." Qian Yong regretted.

　　"It seems that Qian Yong and the others have arrived in Linyi, not Ryukyu." And Linyi's Champaign rice, which is cooked three times a year, will only spread to China in the Song Dynasty according to the development of history.

　　"Well, you stay here and see if you can learn their language. As for the spices and the three-a-year rice, bring me a boat. Father-in-law, would you like to buy some too?"

　　Using the ability of the door fruit, no matter how many can be directly moved back to Chang'an.

　　It is estimated that it would take more than two months to sail from Linyi back to Yangzhou by means of a building boat, and then to bring it back to Chang'an from Yangzhou, it would take another month or two.

　　Once or twice, it's nothing, but Lu Xiu has always been relying on the fruits of his family, and Lu Xiu will not be happy. The development of maritime trade cannot rely on Lu Xiu alone.

　　Among them, the biggest obstacle to development is still the speed of the building boat. With the wind down, the building boat can travel [-] kilometers in one hour.

　　There is no steam engine, no fuel engine as a power system, just relying on wind power to travel around the world cannot support killing.

　　But Lu Xiu was very much looking forward to seeing Datang's fleet, becoming the first pioneer to set foot on the American continent, and then meeting the Nordic countries for a while.

　　"¨〃Of course I want it. I buy as many as they have. It's just before the end of the year, but I want to prepare some as a New Year's gift."

　　Li Er stared, not to mention that spices are valuable in Chang'an.The rice that can be ripened three times a year is no less valuable than the corn seeds that Lu Xiu got.

　　If the land of the Tang Dynasty could be planted with Lu Xiu's high-yielding seeds and three crops of rice a year, how could the people be hungry.

　　(Is it good?) The most important thing is that a truckload of cloth or porcelain can actually be exchanged for a truckload of spices.

　　If he can change to dozens of cars, Li Er feels that he will make a fortune.Such huge profits made Li Er also very excited at this time.

　　"Your Majesty, don't worry, the spices on the island are very cheap. With a truckload of cloth and porcelain, it is estimated that they can exchange for a boatload of spices. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the residents here are like uncivilized people." Qian Yong said with a smile. .

　　"Yeah. Porcelain and fabrics are abundant in the Tang Dynasty. I will ask you to bring ten carts to you tomorrow, and you can help us handle it. I want all the spices and rice." Li Er said.

　　"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Yong laughed. .

Chapter 195

　　In fact, Lu Xiu also considered the issue of navigation.It is estimated that turning into a turtle and swimming in the water is faster than a building boat.

　　Lu Xiu also understands that his physical and chemical level is only at the junior high school level, and he knows a little about the principle of steam engines, but with the current level of steelmaking technology, it is impossible to invent steam engines in just ten years and then use them on ships.

　　The principle of the steam engine seems simple, but the process is not simple. Among them, the requirements for materials are particularly important for the technology of cylinder sealing.

　　Besides, Lu Xiu was also a system owner. The system was obviously developing towards the magic side, so the ability of the system could not help Datang develop and improve its technological level.

　　The problem of the power of the building ship will be solved in the future with the ability of the devil fruit instead of technology.

　　The development of technology is too slow, and it will pollute the environment at the same time.

　　Although it has developed into modern times, technology has made life convenient for everyone, but it will also make people lose a lot of fun.

　　Furthermore, the fun brought by the ability of Devil Fruits, such as turning into a falcon to soar in the sky, such as turning into a turtle and swimming on the seabed, is not comparable to the life brought by the technology of the [-]st century to human beings.

　　And Lu Xiu thought a lot about the plan, such as using the door fruit to cross the distance.

　　If you can copy a few for your subordinates to use, you can play a similar effect to the "space array" in the magical world, so that you can easily span the entire earth.

　　In addition, there are many Devil Fruit derivative abilities that can be used as power effects. For example, Smog's smoke fruit can actually act as a power source for motorcycles, so Lu Xiu thinks that he can wait a little longer.

　　…………

　　The seven-day desert island survival challenge came to an end soon.

　　Among the more than [-] civil and military officials, five groups abstained, and the remaining groups persevered despite many bumps along the way.

　　The performance of each group, Lu Xiu thought it was fun for the first three days, so in addition to letting the free Wu He explain, he often went to the sky to observe the situation.

　　In the next few days, he mostly learned from Li Er.

　　At this time, when he saw everyone's embarrassed appearance, Lu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.Except for Li Jing's group, which is slightly better, the others are no different from Lord De, who has been on the deserted island for a month.Most of them seemed to be savages, with messy hair and long beards on their faces.Including the clothes on the body, most of them are very dirty and messy.

　　The officials facing upwards are all used to eating fine clothes and jade, and they can endure hardships for seven days. In fact, most of them are because of sharing the fire and helping each other.

　　Otherwise, the difficulty of food alone can stumped more than half of the people.

　　"Little brother Lu, you're too good at tossing people." Cheng Yaojin said resentfully.

　　"Yeah, the old man almost lost most of his life." Fang Xuanling, who was chubby and chubby, now found that his body had lost a circle.

　　"Haha, I think it's a bit interesting." Li Jing smiled.

　　The challenge of trying to survive on a desert island (cfae), Li Jing not only completed it well, but also lived a very nourishing life and had an excellent mental state.

　　A group of them cleverly placed the shelter on a fresh water source, and the body and clothes can be washed with water if they are dirty.Therefore, apart from a little more beard, Li Jing looks very neat.

　　"Hmph. If you don't go through the test, how do you know how to survive on the island? It's not realistic for you to rely on Lu Xiaoyou for everything." Li Yuan said lightly.

　　"Old man Li is right. I won't stay on the island forever. Sometimes it may take more than ten days to come back. And you must rely on yourself to eat and drink on the island." Lu Xiu said.

　　"Actually, if you bring the chef, it's not a problem to live for a month or two." Fang Xuanling whispered.

　　From the beach, you can easily find a lot of edible seafood, and with a little chef's craftsmanship, you should be able to make the seafood delicious.

　　Of course, if you eat it all the time, it will be a bit boring.For example, Fang Xuanling ate charcoal-grilled oysters for seven days, and now he feels like vomiting.

　　"In this desert island survival test, Li Jing's group performed the best. Although Su Dingfang's group performed well, they borrowed the ability of the cheetah fruit by chance, which was obviously unfair to the other groups. I took Yuan Tiangang's group as the second. According to what I said earlier, I will reward each of them with a turtle fruit. In addition, you can enclose the land where you like. Whether it is used to build a house or grow vegetables, it's up to you." Lu Xiu smiled. .

　　The price is [-] yuan per mu, which is of course very expensive.Even in Chang'an, where an inch of land is worth an inch, [-] Guan can buy a courtyard with an area of ​​more than ten acres.

　　But the main cost was that Lu Xiu opened the door and brought them back and forth, and Lu Xiu just found it troublesome.

　　Because there is no copying of the fruit of the door to others, Lu Xiu intends to overlap with the schedule for going to the building boat, once every five days. .

Chapter 196

　　All the officials began to choose their favorite places on the island. Cheng Yaojin, who had extra money in his hand, went directly to Lu Xiu's next door and encircled two or three acres.

　　He sold furniture for several months in Chang'an City, and he made a lot of money.

　　In addition to him, the generals who participated in the Eastern Turkistan war received a lot of rewards, so they were the most generous.

　　But most of the officials, financial resources can only support them to buy two to three points of land.

　　The poorest were Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who didn't have a thousand calibers in their hands.The two borrowed money from people everywhere, hoping to collect a thousand dollars, and bought a small place on the island to build a thatched hut.

　　Watching the sky at night on the island, you can see the night that cannot be seen in other places, and the starry sky is very bright, so I want to buy a piece of land on the island.

　　Cheng Yaojin fooled, saying that if the two were willing to sell him the tortoise fruit, he could offer a price of [-] per piece.
