Chapter 238 Spices



Wei Siqian and several Confucian scholars were reporting the situation.

"According to the compass and sextant, we were indeed sailing southward all the way, but I always felt that we were a little bit eastward along the way, but I have no evidence. The main reason is that we were not very precise in operating the sextant, so there was always a little error."

Li Zhi asked helplessly, "That is to say, there is no direct evidence to prove that the steward came here on purpose. Is it really just a coincidence?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Never mind. The sextant is difficult to operate accurately. After all, no one in Yuzhou can operate the sextant as well as Wang Zhen. You have done a good job.

What about the King's Tongue? Do you have any relevant records? "

Wei Siqian replied, "Yes, Chen Fengning once requested to investigate Wang She because the chief steward was obsessed with this person and mentioned him repeatedly. Based on the information provided by Chen Fengning, we did not find Wang She.

After listening to Wang She's translation, Zhang Bo and others bowed deeply again, expressing their gratitude without asking for money.

"In fact, this place is not that big. There are more and larger territories to the southwest. However, these only exist in the legends of our ancestors. We don't have a big ship and dare not go out to explore. Our understanding of the surroundings comes from what we heard during blind dates."

Li Zhi smiled generously and said, "Please stand up. You are old, so there is no need to be polite. You have been away from China for these years and have suffered a lot. I will compensate you. As for whether to return or not, you can choose by yourself when the time comes."

After listening to Wang She's translation, Zhang Bo and others were amazed and sighed that the world is indeed different now. Since there is navigation here, it would be better to stay here for a while.

After listening to the old man's explanation, Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "This information is enough. My chief steward will find out what happened."

Wang She communicated with an old man for a long time before bringing the group to Li Zhi to pay their respects.

After Wang She translated the translation, Zhang Bo and his people immediately paid respect to Li Zhi, crying, "Thank you, my emperor, for your mercy. We have been away from China for a long time, and the pottery and gold tools handed down by our ancestors have been destroyed. As the number of our people has increased, we use more stone tools, and we are almost becoming barbarians."

When cooking at noon, Zhang Bo and others took out a lot of spices, saying that they were presented to Li Zhi. There were several kinds that Wang Zheng recognized, including cloves, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, lemongrass, and many others that Wang Zheng did not recognize.

After Zhang Bo and the others greeted each other one by one, they asked, "What are the positions of the chief steward and the chief steward of Lingnan?"

"I obey your order."

Afterwards, Wang She introduced the identities of Wang Zheng, Li Xian, Wang Zhen, Wei Siqian and others to Zhang Bo and others.

Li Zhi felt deeply moved when he heard this, and instructed Wang Zhen: "Give them some ironware, cloth, and other supplies, and then see what they need and bring it to them next time."

Wang She explained the situation in the borderland to Zhang Bo. When they heard that there would be navigation here in the future, Zhang Bo and others were delighted and immediately stopped talking about returning.

Wang Zhen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely follow the legendary route within this year, and I will definitely be able to explore the South Seas thoroughly next year."

"I will take my leave."

Wang She couldn't answer, so he had to translate the question to Li Zhi.

However, from the analysis of various intelligence, it can be concluded that Wang She should be the illegitimate son of the Xia family, a prominent family in Yuzhou. Because he had some hatred with the Xia family, he took advantage of the chaos when Zhang Zongheng burned down Yuzhou City and fled to the imperial farm.

Although the language was ancient, Li Zhi and others could still understand some of it. Wei Siqian frowned when he heard it, because the word "min" in Li Shimin's name changed the people of the world from "min" to "common people".

The next day, the bright yellow Li Tang flag fluttered in the camp, indicating that the emperor was here.

Li Zhi shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think so. I really have the ability to survive. The steward's random inheritance is enough to survive, not to mention this tailor-made inheritance, which is an amazing ability. Didn't you see that the steward couldn't forget it? He also said that Wang She would go back to Yuzhou to pass on the ability. The ancient sound from more than 400 years ago, in less than an hour, they could communicate smoothly. What a great ability it is. Although the steward's phonetic symbols contributed to it, Wang She's ability can also be seen.

Li Zhi then asked about the situation of the place. When he learned that the area was over a hundred miles in radius, and that there were several hundred miles to the east and more islands to the south, Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

Li Zhi laughed and said, "The chief steward is equivalent to the imperial teacher, but our chief steward does not believe in ghosts and gods, but only in knowledge. The chief steward is equivalent to the princes, but our princes only do things without money and grain, and do not have as much power as the princes in the Eastern Wu period."

Li Zhi nodded, and then asked Zhang Bo and others: "I see that you are living in poverty. Although I came here in a hurry this time, I still have some supplies. I don't know what you urgently need now. I will try my best to help you."

Go down, and we will discuss the rest of the matter after we meet the descendants of Dongwu tomorrow."

The Five Virtues of China have always been nothing more than a royal farce. At the beginning, Dongwu was also the yellow earth virtue. Later, in order to avenge the Han Dynasty, according to the theory of the Five Virtues, it adopted the wood virtue, which overcomes earth. Therefore, the world of Dongwu was green.

Wang She was there to translate at any time.

After receiving the tongue-man inheritance from the chief steward, he thought he had the ability to survive, so he escaped from Yuzhou and has been missing ever since."

Looking at these things, Wang Zheng couldn't help but ask them: "Are there a lot of these things here?"

Zhang Bo said that these things are everywhere. Not only can they be used to cook meat, but they can also be carried with them to protect against snakes, insects, rats and ants. Without these things, they dare not run around in the woods.

Wang Zheng ground several spices he knew into powder and used them to make some barbecue. Not only did Xiao Yuehua and the other little ones like them, but Li Zhi also praised them highly.

Wei Siqian sighed, "There is an old saying: There must be fragrant grass within three steps. Although there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants here, there are so many spices growing here. It seems that this saying is true."

Wang Zheng smiled noncommittally and said to Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, do you think these spices will be marketable when they are transported back to Chang'an?"
