Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke once believed that ancient Chinese sailing ships could not sail against the wind, but after careful communication with Yu Wenlin, he realized that the ancient Chinese hard sails were actually far smarter than Li Ke thought, and the hard sails could also go against the wind Sailing, except that it makes slightly less use of headwinds and has fewer angles to turn.

Obviously the ancients were far smarter than Li Ke thought, but now Li Ke gave Yu Wenlin the books, so that his improvement of sails is almost the same as that of sail ships in the [-]th century, including not limited to horizontal and vertical sails, etc. It's just that the material of the sails can't keep up, but this is not Yu Wenlin's problem, this needs to be improved by the weaving industry.

"Your Highness, if you continue to do this, there will be no one to help me." Sun Simiao looked for the fleet just after sailing on the sea.

Speaking of which, Li Ke did not want to take Sun Simiao with him, but Lao Sun wanted to follow him. He said that he hadn't had a chance to go overseas to find medicinal materials, so he had to keep up, and Lao Sun also brought a team of dozens of people.

These dozens of people were all doctors brought out by Sun Simiao after Sun Simiao came to Chang'an. They were not all brought by Sun Simiao, and some of the hygienists were also trained by Yuelai Trading Company before.

"I don't think the shipyard here may not have enough doctors, so I left three of them, not many people." Li Ke said. "By the way, those condemned prisoners are all right."

"I don't see any problem at the moment, but are you sure, Your Highness, that this food theory is normal?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke suspiciously and said.

"Of course, let me tell you, if you only eat meat and pickled fish, you will have this kind of scurvy symptoms in the long run." Li Ke said seriously, "I don't believe you and us this time Got it, anyway, I have mobilized five condemned prisoners for you to do experiments, and they all ate the same food, you will know after two or three months."

"Okay." Sun Simiao nodded, but did not refuse. Anyway, these condemned prisoners deserve to be punished for their crimes, and Sun Simiao has no psychological pressure. He is almost a hundred years old, so there is no so-called moral pressure in this regard.

Speaking of which, it was also the first time Li Ke knew that Sun Simiao had dissected a human body in this era, and he did it secretly. After all, in this era, no family member would let you do this, even if you were Sun Simiao.

Obviously, Lao Sun spent more time in medical research than Li Ke.

What Li Ke engraved for Sun Simiao is naturally the research on scurvy, and it cannot be said that the research is actually just a lack of vitamin C, but it is actually not very meaningful to the current Datang, because with the continuous popularity of potatoes Planting, as long as potatoes are added to the nautical food in the future, this thing will not be obtained.

Potatoes are the only food that can't kill you without eating them, and you can't lack nutrients, just like any other food.Of course, it is definitely not good to live, but compared to other foods, eating one kind of food alone will cause problems for a few months. Potatoes are an unprecedented food.

Today's wind and waves are a bit rough. Changle, who had no problems along the way, Li Yan and others are a little uncomfortable. After all, the wind and waves suffered by ships on the ocean and inland rivers are not at the same level, but Sun Simiao is too awesome. He is over 90 years old. Leng is not uncomfortable at all.

Li Ke looked envious, not to mention ninety, he is thankful to have this body at the age of 80.

But I don’t know if it’s the problem of exercise these years, Li Ke is not seasick at all, although seasickness has nothing to do with exercise, it is mainly a problem of the human brain.

The fleet headed south all the way, and after arriving near Hudu, the fully loaded fleet also quickly entered the line, while the empty ships that followed from Bohai stopped here and continued to load supplies.

The fleet expanded to more than 20 ships and went south quickly. About 8 days later, the fleet arrived at the outskirts of Guangzhou Port!

This speed made Li Ke nodded in satisfaction. The speed of the ship after adopting modern sails is indeed much faster than that of this era. Of course, the low resistance of the sharp-bottomed ship is also one of the biggest reasons.

The arrival of Li Ke is naturally a big event for the Guangzhou government, especially when the King of Qin, which was erected with the flag of the Tang Dynasty, entered the port, everyone on the entire pier was stunned. When had they ever seen such a huge ship? , what shocked them even more was that the bottom of the ship seemed to be made of steel!And the front of the ship also added a steel ram!

Under the wharf, the senior officials of Datang Lingnan Road are actually here. Li Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. These people... are not simple.

Lingnan Road is different from other roads. Lingnan has been a poor land since ancient times. The reputation of the family that has been handed down here from ancient times to the present is not obvious, unlike other powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact Lingnan Road has its own local wealthy family.

The attachment of Lingnan Road to the Tang Dynasty was resolved peacefully. During the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, most of the rich families here knew their strength and surrendered one after another.There is one person who has contributed the most, and this is the current governor of Gaozhou, Feng Angang, Duke Geng of the Tang Dynasty.

Feng Ang was a famous general during the Sui Dynasty. He followed Yang Guang and led an army of millions to conquer Goguryeo, so he had seen the world. For the army of the Central Plains, it was drizzle, so in the reign of Wude, Feng An surrendered.

Later, Li Ke's grandfather, Li Yuan, rewarded Feng An several times, divided Lingnan Road into nine prefectures, and appointed the local rich family as the general manager to control Lingnan Road.

The nine prefectures are Guangfu, Xunfu, Nankangfu, Gaofu, Guifu, Nanyinfu, Qinfu, Jiaofu, and Nandefu respectively corresponding to the eight major powers and the most important town in Lingnan and the port of Guangzhou.

Among them, Guangzhou Mansion is directly managed by Datang, and the remaining eight mansions are local wealthy families, such as Li Xizhi, the governor of Guizhou, the governor of Qiuhe Jiaozhou, Li Jun, the governor of South Dezhou, and Li Guangdu, the governor of Nanyi Prefecture.

For example, Li Xizhi was also born in the Li family of Longxi, and his fifth ancestor took refuge and migrated. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, after Xiao Xianxian was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, it was Li Xizhi who encouraged more than [-] prefectures in south of the Five Ridges to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Today, the eight major local forces and others have come over, including Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou.

After getting off the boat, Li Ke had already changed into his prince's clothes, naturally Chang Le followed him, followed by Li Yan and Wu Jue, while Yang Anning and the others did not disembark.

"I have seen His Highness King Qin and His Highness Changle." All the governors in the front row saluted Li Ke and Changle.

Li Ke has never seen any of these people. Guangzhou is really far away from the emperor. It takes at least several months to go to Chang'an to report on work here, so many times the officials here may not return to Chang'an after several years in office.

And Dang Renhong has just moved to the post of governor of Guangzhou.
