More than 2000 million taels of silver, these are basically the calculated value of gold and the like.

After hearing that the fleet brought back so many things, the people in Hubu's eyes turned red.

With such a sum of money, all the national debt sold before can be repaid!

And there is still a lot left.

But it's a pity that not all of the money has to be handed over to the national treasury, half of it has to be distributed to the aristocratic families.

But even so, more than 1000 million taels of silver were credited into the account at once, which still made Li Daifu's face glow these days.

People from various families are also very happy at this time.

Although the money they got this time was not enough for what they posted before, the harvest this time made them understand that as long as this sailing line continues, they can definitely earn a lot of money.

Think about it, this time all the trips to sea have earned more than 2000 million taels of silver, which does not include some wealth that cannot be counted!

In addition, according to the people who came back, there are other places in the New World.

They just went to a little place, and if the route is expanded, they can make a lot of money by going back and forth.

The aristocratic families are all heated up at this time, and the benefits this time bind them all firmly together.

But then they also moved their minds.

Sailing with the imperial court, the benefits they get are only a little bit of theirs.

Wouldn't it be better if you had your own ship?Don't you earn more money?

It's just that they didn't have these ideas in the past, so their subordinates didn't have anything to do with boats.

Now it is a bit difficult to suddenly want to make some ships that can sail long distances.

In particular, the storm at sea was too severe. As long as the ship failed, all the goods brought out would sink into the sea at that time, and it would be nothing to return.

But it is also fortunate that they are on the ship of the imperial court. At present, they have no way to manufacture ships that can sail long distances, and they can still rely on the imperial court to make some money.

Moreover, even if a ship capable of long-distance voyages is produced by itself, it can still make money here, so why not?

As for the idea of ​​getting rid of the imperial court after they built their own ships, they naturally didn't think about it.

Right now, I can take advantage of the time to make my own ship and study the sea chart.

The ocean is too vast, even if some tribesmen went there once, they still have a little understanding of how to sail.

In the palace, Lu Chensheng was looking at the strange and weird things brought back from this long voyage at this time, all kinds of things were dazzling.

"Didn't you bring back any species during this voyage?"

Lu Chensheng asked while watching.

According to Lu Chensheng's request, some species cannot be brought back.

This was worried about the invasion of species, so it was strictly required. However, there were some things that Lu Chensheng asked them to pay special attention to and find a way to bring them back.

"I would like to follow the instructions of the Holy Spirit, and did not bring back those strange things, but on that continent, it seemed that I saw a creature that looked like a unicorn."

Kirin?

Yueyue and Nianyi were looking at these things carefully, and when they heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears.

"Kirin? Did you read it wrong?"

Lu Chensheng was a little surprised, could it be that there are still unicorns in this world?

"Yes, it looks like that species is indeed somewhat similar to the unicorn in the description."

Hearing the words, Hai Qing immediately nodded in response.

Lu Chensheng thought about it carefully and asked him to draw it.

Haiqing didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took out the paper to draw.

When Lu Chensheng saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry. Isn't this a giraffe?It was directly called Qilin by him.

But for some people at present, such an image is indeed somewhat appropriate.

The Ming Dynasty in the previous life also had such misunderstandings.

"It's just a giraffe, not a unicorn."

Lu Chensheng shook his head and put the painting aside.

When Hai Qing heard the words, his face turned red immediately, he thought it was really a unicorn, so he told the Holy Master about it.

Fortunately, I didn't bring it back before, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"In terms of species, what did you bring back?"

Lu Chensheng continued to question.

"At the request of the Holy One, a lot of cows have been brought back. They are all purchased and can produce milk. In addition, we also asked the other party for the cheese-making skills."

The folks have some goat milk cheese making skills, which are recorded in the historical records.

Hundreds of years ago, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and every household could eat cheese.

However, I don't know if this kind of record is true. From the history books, most of them are records that the common people can't eat.

The reason for the craftsmanship of this cheese is mainly due to lactose intolerance, which is a symptom of many people.

With this production process, the symptoms of lactose intolerance can be avoided.

"How many cows are there?"

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he suddenly became energetic.

If milk and eggs are fed to children since childhood, they can greatly improve their physique and grow taller easily.

Right now, the common people's children are too lacking in nutrition. Lu Chensheng hopes to introduce some dairy cows to make some improvements.

Now that he is ready to improve the lives of the common people, Lu Chensheng has not forgotten this matter.

"There were originally 360 head brought back, but 8000 died on the way, and now there are 39, [-] head left."

Hai Qing still remembered this matter very clearly, and answered immediately.

More than 3?Not much, but a good start.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, there was still a hint of joy on his face.

"My lord, these cows and those aristocratic families also have a share."

Seeing the happy expression on Lu Chensheng's face, Hai Qing hesitated to say something again.

The cows are too difficult to bring, and it took a lot of effort to bring them back along the way. A lot of pastures were prepared on the boats.

That's the case, because of these cows, the crew is still being tossed a lot.

"Give them some more from other things as compensation, and these cows will accept them all."

Lu Chensheng waved his hands, his expression unquestionable.

Chapter 741 A New Thing

There are more than 3 heads, and they will reproduce at that time. I think they can continue to grow.

If there is a long voyage at that time, it would be good to bring some more cows back.

When Lu Chensheng heard that a cow was brought back, he was filled with joy.

"The peanuts and corn that the Holy One said were also brought back."

Hai Qing continued talking.

"It's just that the sweet potatoes haven't been found yet."

Hai Qing said with a face of shame, he spent a lot of time looking for it, and drew a lot of pictures, all of which the Holy Majesty told him, he drew the same, and asked the locals to ask.

The result is no answer.

That's where the peanuts and corn were found.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. The peanuts and corn were found, which is already very good!

The yields of peanuts and corn are not low, and the taste is good.

As for sweet potatoes, although they haven't been found yet, since they have sailing experience once, they can continue to look for them.

"It's summer now, quickly find a fertile land and plant corn."

Lu Chensheng wanted to breed corn quickly, so he didn't want to waste any time now.

"The fertile land, that should be the experimental fields in the city, the land over there is very fertile."

Hearing this, Hai Qing immediately said, he planted rice seedlings there before, how could he not know how fertile the fields are?

"Well, let's just plant all these corns in that area. If there is not enough space, we can expand some land, which is fine."

In Xing Seoul City, every inch of land and every inch of gold can be regarded as now.

But in order to allow corn to be quickly planted in various places of the Xinghan Empire, Lu Chensheng naturally didn't care so much.

Hai Qing then talked to Lu Chensheng about the various things he brought back.

These things are not pearl agate or anything, so it is difficult to calculate the value.

But for the Xinghan Empire, there are some things that are considered priceless.

That night, Lu Chensheng fiddled with the cooked peanuts and ripe corn brought back by the boat, and brought them to the three daughters of Qiongyue.

"When these crops spread, the Xinghan Empire will no longer suffer from starvation."

Lu Chensheng was talking to the three wives with a smile all over his face.

Qiongyue has a big belly. She has heard her husband talking about these things a long time ago, and this is the first time she has seen them.

There are golden sticks in it, which are covered with things like rice grains, and they are extremely plump, and the fragrance is even more intense.

The other one is like small beans, and the taste is not as strong as the former.

"Husband, is this thing really so miraculous?"

Lin Yu looked at it, but still asked in surprise.

The Han Dynasty has always suffered from food shortages. Before that, the husband was doing various experiments.

But after these experiments, and adding various chemical fertilizers, the grain production has only increased a little.

With one mu of land, the yield is only in the early [-]s.

The two crops in front of me now gave my husband such high confidence?

"At least it can solve a big problem."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and then said something.

Even if the problem of having enough to eat cannot be completely solved, great improvements can still be made.

As for the rest, it still depends on the policy of the imperial court and the next steps.

"Then with this fetish, the Xinghan Empire is about to prosper. With a husband in power, it is not difficult to reach a height that no one before us could achieve!"

Lin Yuqiao's face was full of joy, if these two crops could be achieved, then the Xinghan Empire would have completely solved its internal worries.

According to my husband, the weather is not going to be good, and the crops may fail in a large area.

Under such circumstances, such a thing is very much needed, and this thing is simply a timely help!

Lu Chensheng let the three girls taste the taste of this thing.

The corn tastes very sweet and full, and the peanut tastes very good.

In particular, there are many ways to make peanuts, each of which has a different taste and is even more delicious.

The method is extremely simple, as long as you take care of it a little, people in the future will be able to eat these things in their homes.

"Husband took the trouble to keep these seeds."

Originally, the things brought back by the ship contained part of the rest of the family.

But these seeds are very important, and Lu Chensheng has no plans to give them to the aristocratic family, so he ceded some benefits and kept these seeds and the cows.

The cows will reproduce properly in the future, and the scale will definitely increase in the future.

The workshop for making cheese is already under construction, and according to the construction speed of Star Seoul, it must be built soon.
