Chapter 1955 Seeds of Hope


Chapter 1955 Seeds of Hope

Pei Xingjian always felt that he was a knowledgeable person, and could not be compared to those children from aristocratic families who either spent their days hanging out among the piles of makeup and powder, leaning on the red and green, or leading evil slaves to fight cocks and lackeys. He had seen half-clothed refugees from natural disasters, and soldiers with broken bodies covered in blood and fallen from the battlefield. However, these "human beings" who were almost out of shape in front of him made his pupils shrink and he felt frightened. .

It is simply worse than a living person being hung in a vent, with his flesh and blood gradually being eroded away, leaving only the skin wrapping the skeleton...

He could not imagine what kind of torture these soldiers who sailed across the ocean in this battleship had to endure.

But Fang Jun beside him was already trembling...

When the sides of the two ships were just approaching, before the soldiers could set up the springboard, Fang Jun took two steps back, then started to jump, stepped on the side of the ship and jumped up suddenly, crossing a distance of about six or seven feet. Jumped directly to the opposite ship.

Not only Pei Xingjian and the soldiers were taken aback, but even the several old soldiers on the opposite boat who were emaciated were so frightened that their bodies trembled. Then they knelt down on one knee tremblingly and performed a standard military salute, hoarsely. He said in a loud voice: "Finally bring the fields and see the Marquis!"

Fang Jun hurried forward and helped several people up with his own hands. Then, he hugged Tian Yunchai tightly and said excitedly: "It's hard work for this trip to sea..."

He naturally knew the difficulties and obstacles he had to face when crossing the ocean. No matter whether he reached America or not, or whether he got back the much-needed plants, just being able to return to the Tang Dynasty with this broken fleet alive was enough for him to be the highest level of honor!

Tian Yunlai grinned and laughed.

But the broken teeth and the almost completely ulcerated gums looked extremely hideous and terrifying...

He gently pushed Fang Jun away, then knelt down on one knee again and sobbed: "In the name of the Marquis, I will go out to sea to explore the land at the end of the ocean. When I went to sea, there were twenty-two ships, soldiers, There are 848 sailors, doctors, cooks, etc. on the crew... Now, General Mo has returned with his fleet, leaving only six dilapidated ships and 103 surviving crew members, all of whom are seriously disabled... …”

Fang Jun was also moved and comforted: "Why should you blame yourself? What you did is the first of its kind in history, and it is destined to be remembered in history for future generations to admire and respect! The sea is vast! The storm is not something that can only be conquered by a firm heart. It requires not only better ships and better technology, but also God’s blessing of luck! It’s someone’s whim..."

He sighed.

At first, Tian Yunlai was just a pirate. Because of his ocean-going aspirations and superb navigation skills, he decided on a whim to join his fleet and ordered him to cross the ocean and explore America in search of the high-yield of food crops.

Thinking about it now, my original thoughts were simply unbelievable...

If others don't know, how can he not know how vast and vast the vast Pacific is?

The winds and waves on the sea, typhoons, tsunamis, epidemics... almost every accident can easily cause this primitive fleet to overturn and kill people, without even a wave splashing. The reason why later generations of Europeans were able to complete the great feat of global navigation and exploring the New World was not only because of more advanced technology, but also because of the sailing experience that generations of people passed on and sacrificed their lives for.

And his order to let Tian Yun come to explore the Americas is almost the same as murder...

However, just after he expressed his words of relief and apologized with a guilty conscience, Tian Yunlai suddenly raised his head. His appearance was haggard and almost inhuman, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. Then, he listened to every word he said. Said: "... However, even though the losses were heavy, the general could not plead guilty to the Marquis, because... the general, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life!"

boom! !

Fang Jun only felt a thunder from the blue sky ringing in his ears, which made him dizzy. He subconsciously said: "You, you, you... what did you say?"

Tian Yunlai once again opened his mouth with ulcerated gums and few intact teeth. His dark and skinny face was filled with unparalleled pride and pride!

"The Marquis ordered Xiao to cross the ocean and personally presented him with a never-before-seen chart. Using this chart, the general used this chart to explore the direction of the monsoon winds and the surge of the ocean currents, and found the vast sea. Continent, and after many battles with the local natives on that land, the general finally found all the plants that the Marquis asked the general to find... Fortunately, the general!"


Several soldiers around him also straightened their backs and shouted with all their strength: "Fortunately, we have lived up to our orders!"

……

Fang Jun covered his forehead, his mind buzzing.

Fortunately, it is not a disgrace?

Did they really reach America?

The plant he asked to find... was found?

"Those...those plants, where are they?"

Fang Jun's voice was not only trembling, but his whole body was trembling!

He couldn't imagine that they had actually completed their mission and brought back the plants he needed! What if... they admit they made a mistake and brought the wrong person?

When he arrived in America, he didn't bring back corn or sweet potatoes because he had mistakenly identified the plants. Instead, he brought back a handful of sunflower seeds... Fang Jun thought he might cry to death.

How great the hope is, how great the disappointment will be. At this moment, he is like a gambler waiting to start the outcome of a big gamble in life. He is worried about gains and losses, and is so nervous that he almost has an arterial infarction!

"Master Hou, please follow me!"

Tian Yunlai stood up tremblingly and walked towards the cabin. Due to being floating at sea for a long time and lacking necessary nutritional supplements, his whole body was close to running out of fuel and was so weak that he seemed to be able to collapse with the wind. Fang Jun hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

When Pei Xingjian saw Fang Jun entering the cabin, he immediately ordered the two ships to approach each other. He also boarded the opposite ship, ordered his soldiers to guard the deck strictly, and chased Fang Jun into the cabin.

A putrid smell instantly rushed into the nasal cavity...

Nuo Da's cabin was divided into cabins. Dozens of soldiers were so weak that they staggered around in the cabin and struggled to stand up. They wanted to salute Fang Jun, but Fang Jun stopped him with a drink and threatened that this was not the case. When receiving gifts, they are all warriors of the empire and must cultivate themselves well. In the future, there will definitely be wealth and wealth waiting for everyone to enjoy. If you die because of false gifts, wouldn't you die?

These soldiers have gone through countless calamities and have long since run out of fuel. The desire to go home supports their will, allowing them to grit their teeth and take their last breath to return to the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, hearing Fang Jun's words, all of them are relieved. Make up your mind...

In the cabin at the bottom of the ship, Fang Jun found piles of neatly arranged sacks. He eagerly stepped forward, opened a sack, reached in, and grabbed a handful of yellow seeds...


In just a moment, Fang Jun burst into tears.

corn!

This damn thing is the corn that he once found hard to swallow, but has fed countless people!

He stuffed the corn back into his hand, carefully sealed the opening, and opened another sack on the side. He reached out and grabbed it, and a round thing fell into his hand. He took it out and saw that it was a potato...

Under Tian Yunlai's command, Fang Jun opened the sacks one by one, and then, a surge of ecstasy continued to rise in his heart!

Sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes, peanuts... This special boat carries achievements that transcend time! He used all the high-yielding food crops on the American continent as seeds and brought them to the Tang Dynasty, which has the highest population density in this era. This means that hundreds of millions of people will be able to fill their stomachs, even in years of famine. Can survive, reproduce from generation to generation, and eventually, be proud of the entire earth!

Fang Jun has gone crazy. He feels that every blood vessel is bulging and every tendon is beating. Poems that have been sung for thousands of years and gleaming glass are nothing compared to this ship that carries the entire Chinese nation. Seeds that thrive forever!

Because of his appearance and his leadership, these grains appeared in China a thousand years in advance. In the future, because of the agricultural knowledge in his head, these high-yielding grain crops can be used more efficiently than they were after they entered China in history. Cultivation, promotion and popularization in scientific ways...

Perhaps, there is a mysterious force that placed him in this era to make up for the boundless suffering that history has caused to such a generous, loving, hard-working and humble nation?

God, this is so interesting...(End of Chapter)
