Xue Li climbed up from the pool and shook his long wet hair.
"It's a shame to have long hair here."
Zheng Tu smiled and touched his bald head, "It's good if you don't learn from me, just shave your hair, not to mention how cool it is." ” Xue Rengui took the towel from the hand of the soldier next to him, dried his hair, changed into a pair of four-legged shorts, and didn't bother to put on his outer robe, so he sat in the pavilion.
Picking up the chilled bayberry soup is to drink it in a big gulp.
"Ah, that's cool."
Zhu Tu held a fan in his hand, and kept fanning.
"Damn, this Lion City is so hot.
In this bird place, there are no four seasons in a year, only one summer.
For three hundred and sixty-five days, every day it was hot and hot, like ten suns in the sky. ” Xue Li also said, "Indeed, there are some evil sects in this place. ” This is a manor house in the port citadel of Licappol in the Lion City, with many trees and flowers, as well as a huge swimming pool.
They have occupied this place for more than half a year, and in this more than half a year, Lijiapo has taken on a new look, and the earth-shaking changes have taken place, the castle is bigger, taller and stronger, and the port has also been expanded, so that many merchant ships can dock.
Outside the city, there were many grain fields.
Many slaves in shackles were working in the fields.
The large grain fields can ensure the food needs of the Lion City, without the need for additional transportation from outside, and can even replenish the food for the merchant ships coming and going.
"How long will it be before the teacher arrives" "It turned out that it was almost there, but the teacher sent a letter that he wanted to help Ma Gong first, so he might have to postpone it for a month."
Li Jiapo is now in charge of the two brothers Zhu Zhendong and Xue Li, although Zhu Zhendong started earlier than Xue Li, and although Xue Li was born in Jiangmen, the Xue family has long since declined, so the two of them are still relatively harmonious.
"Do you want us to support the teacher?"
", the teacher will need our support, let's talk about it, we're still a black household, and if we go to Funan, won't it be known to everyone."
"But we are now attacking cities and plundering land on the Golden Peninsula, and we have more than a dozen strongholds, and the maritime merchants will come to supply them, and the outside has long known about it."
Zhu Zhendong wiped his bald head again, "This matter, let's listen to the teacher." ” "The weather has been hot and humid lately, and it is also a panic to stay in the Lion City, since the teacher will not come for a while.
I think we'll go north a few more times while we have time, and catch some more people back. ” Although Lijiapo Island is not big, it is as big as a county.
There are few mountains here, so it is more suitable for planting.
In addition, the port is also close to the strait, which is a necessary place, and there are many merchant ships to and from here to replenish.
Even, now Li Jiapo has become an important spice distribution center.
They still need a lot of labor, whether it is loading and unloading at the docks, planting on the plantation, or even processing spices and building ships.
Even if it is not needed here, those colonies in the north are also needed, and even slaves themselves are an extremely popular commodity, transported back to the Central Plains, or various noble fiefdoms, which are all sought-after goods.
"You watch the house" "You watch the house" The two exited almost at the same time.
"Haha, I'll say it first."
"No, I said it first."
Both were willing to take the boat out and were reluctant to stay at home.
"Otherwise, let's just bring a fleet of ships each, and operate in the vicinity anyway."
"Well, Sri Buddha has been taught a lot of lessons by us recently, and they probably won't dare to do it again in a short time.
Then let's just go out and do activities together, I'll go to the West Coast, you go to the East Coast."
"Good" The two brothers quickly made an agreement.
"Have you heard, it is said that the ground under our feet is actually a round ball, a big round ball."
"It has always been said that the sky is round, the sky is like a dome, and the earth is like a chessboard."
Li Chao's earth theory has now spread, some people say that this nonsense, and some people think carefully about the evidence that Li Chao said.
Of course, more were surprised by the discovery of the New World.
"To the east of the Tang Dynasty, there is the East Continent America in the east of the ocean.
To the south of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Indochina Peninsula, there are many archipelagos, and even in the depths of the ocean further south, there is a continent.
It is said that the continent is called Nan Continent Australia.
Alas, it's yearning, I really want to go to the South Continent and the East Continent to see it now.
Xue Li said.
Zhu Tu touched his bald head, "I still don't believe it, how can this earth be round, why won't we fall" "Didn't the teacher say that there is gravity, not only the ground under our feet is a big ball.
Even the sun and moon in the sky are big balls.
The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth circles around the sun.

When it's night in this hemisphere, it's daytime in the other. ” "I really don't understand, you said that the teacher knows everything, even the moon and the sun in the sky.
The teacher is afraid that it is really a god who descends to earth. ” Xue Li just hehe, he didn't really believe that Li Chao was a god descending from heaven, and the teacher had never admitted that he was a god descending from heaven.
Although he had doubted this, even Li Jiapo's plantation now grows many crops from the Americas, such as potatoes, corn, sorghum, pumpkins, and so on.
"The Americans are in the past, but where are the Australians?"
"Maybe it's also Yin."
For the Americans, it is actually the Yin people in the past, and now there is a lot of market in Datang.
Many people really believe it, and they firmly believe in Li Chao's statement, thinking that the Americans are Yin.
This argument has become more and more popular, and many people are even shouting that they will send people to the Americas to call them back to recognize their ancestors and let them move back.
Some people also shouted, the Yin people are our Chinese family, and now they are spreading outside, and the Americas are also our territory, and the imperial court should send envoys to canonize their official titles.
There are also those who shout that the imperial court will send officials to manage the Americas.
"I think the Americas are still too far away, and there are only so many islands in the South Sea, and many big islands are like a continent.
If we can occupy all these big islands in the South Seas, it will be terrible.
Xue Li said.
These heirs of Li Chao have all obtained a map of the world drawn by Li Chao himself.
The whole world is drawn on it, and if you look at the map, you will be surprised that the original Tang Dynasty is so big, but so small.
It is said to be big because there is no country in the world whose territory is as big as that of Datang.
It can be said to be small, because Datang only occupies a small part of the world.
Not to mention the west of the Tang Dynasty, there are many countries such as Rome and Persia, and even the north of the Tang Dynasty is still so big.
It turns out that in the north of the North Sea in Mobei, there is still a huge territory.
Even in the South Seas, there are many large islands.
Li Jiapo is located on a long and narrow peninsula connecting Chenla and the country of Pi, to the south of the strait, there is also a huge island in Sumatra where Sri Buddha died, and on the east side of the strait, there is not a huge island.
To the north, there is also a large archipelago.
It is said that there are four or five such giant islands in the South Seas, and there are no less than 10,000 of those small islands.
The world is so big.
Even the South Seas have not yet been explored, let alone the more distant South and Eastern Continents.
At the port of Lijiapo, the two fleets left the port on the same day, one east and one west.
On the same day, several small merchant ships also left the port.
Not long after they left the port, they quickly sailed south.
Sumatra, Central Region, Palembang City.
The capital of Sri Buddha's death.
"Most of the Tang troops in the Lion City went out and headed north" "These damn Dons are hunting again" "It's an opportunity."
A group of Sri Buddha's deceased officials argued before the king.
In the past, the Tang people were very good partners in their eyes.
They operated the spice entrepot trade, and made a lot of money, and they were rich in oil.
But now, the Tang people have begun to get rid of them, trade directly with the natives on those spice islands, and even control the strait, no longer paying attention to them.
What made them even more angry, the Tang people directly took away the Lion City.
In several battles, Sri Buddha did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and lost his troops.
Now it's a loss of both people and money.
Without the spice trade, they lost a great fortune.
Now the strait is also controlled by the Tang people, and the territory they originally expanded to the north has also been lost.
The Lion City, which has been painstakingly operated for many years, has also become the territory of the Tang people.
Sri Buddha was very unwilling to pass away, but they couldn't beat the Tang people, which is also a helpless fact.
The warships of the Dons were fast and large, especially since they had sharp artillery.
These are all inexplicable, and no matter what tactics they use, they will only end up in failure.
They had also thought of sending people to secretly buy these sharp warships and artillery.

But ships could be bought, but they were merchant ships, not faster warships.
As for artillery, there is simply nowhere to buy it.
"There are only a dozen big ships in the Lion City, and this time they took two fleets at once, a total of sixteen ships, and there were only four big ships left in the harbor.
We should take this opportunity to reclaim the Lion City."
Someone argues.
The king hesitated.
I have suffered too many losses in the hands of the Tang people, but this time it is indeed an opportunity.
"If we can capture the Lion City, then even if the Tang fleet comes back and takes it back, we won't lose.
All we need is to capture their shipwrights and artillerymen from the Lion City and acquire their skills in making ships and artillery. ” Tang warships, artillery.
These two things made the king's eyes widen.
"Hit, the Lion City is our Sri Buddha's death, we must take it back" The king finally made a decision, and no matter how big the price was, as long as he could capture a group of shipbuilders and gunsmiths, it would be worth it.
In order to be sure, the king drew elite troops.
A total of more than 30,000 people were dispatched to the navy, and more than 1,000 ships of all sizes were dispatched.
"Report, there's a city ahead."
Xue Li picked up the clairvoyant mirror and observed carefully, not far from the seaside, at the mouth of a river, a city appeared.
