    "Father, look, I found a pearl!" A beautiful and shameless little guy held up a pearl and rushed into Li Min's arms with excitement and shouted.

    The first person to gain something was Li Xiu, the son of Li Min and Mengxue. This boy is only four years old this year, and he has inherited the excellent genes of the Li family and the Cui family. He has grown extremely handsome at a young age, even number one.  When they first saw him, many people thought Li Xiu was a beautiful little girl.  Of course, at Li Xiu's age, it was impossible for him to open the pearl oyster alone, but the maid beside him helped him open it.

    Li Xin put down the pearl shell in his hand with a smile, then took the pearl in Li Xiu's hand and looked at it. He found that the diameter of the pearl was not small, it must be more than one centimeter, and the color was a beautiful pink.  Color, very round and smooth, this kind of pearl is the best thing to give to a woman.

    When Li Min thought of this, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and then whispered a few words in Li Xiu's ear. As a result, the little guy nodded very obediently, and then ran to his mother Cui Mengxue, making a babyish sound.  Said: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. This is the pearl Xiu'er found. I gave it to mother as a gift!"

    Mengxue had noticed Li Min and his son just now, and now that she saw Li Xiu taking the initiative to give the pearl to herself, how could she not know that this was Li Min's idea?  But just because of this, Mengxue seemed even more happy. After all, this pearl was not only beautiful, but also the heart of her son and husband. This made her feel extremely satisfied, and her eyes when she looked at Li Min were full of affection.

    Then Qinghe and Gao Yang also made gains one after another, and every time they found a pearl, they would scream with excitement, even the always dignified Yang and Wen Xin were no exception, as if they had suddenly returned to  As if they were girls in those days, everyone has become very lively.

    Li Min bought hundreds of pearl oysters in total.  However, the total number of pearls found was only a few dozen, and a considerable number of them were not very round in shape, and the colors were also different. In the end, it was impossible to even put together a solid-color pearl bracelet, which was very confusing.  Feeling a little frustrated.

    However, Li Min and the others were pretty lucky. In addition to the big pink pearl that Li Xiu found, one of Li Ke's men actually dug out a very precious black pearl, although it was not as good as the pink pearl.  big.  But it is also about the size of a fingertip. Although it is not priceless, it is still very easy to sell it for hundreds or even thousands of guan. This is not a big surprise.

    In addition, Wen Xin and the others also had their own gains, and if they were picky, they could also find a few good pearls as souvenirs.  Li Min was the only one who had bad luck. He did find a few pearls, but they were either not round or the color was not good. It can be said that they were all worthless. In the end, they could only grind them into pearl powder for Wen Xin and others to use for beauty.  .

    Wen Xin and the others found this game of finding pearls very interesting.  So in the next trip, Li Min bought a lot of pearl oysters from some native pearl divers living in the Great Barrier Reef. In the end, he could only get one bracelet for Wen Xin, Yang, Qinghe, and Gao Yang.  Most of the pearls are too messy.  The value is not very high, so it can only be kept as a personal souvenir. In addition, after eating so many pearl oysters, Li Min and his children never left.  I feel like vomiting when I see dishes made from shells.

    The fleet headed south along the east coast of Australia and soon left the Great Barrier Reef behind.  And when they came to the southeastern coast of Australia, they found that the coastline here suddenly became lively.

    The essence of the entire Australia is concentrated on the southeast coast, which has a subtropical humid climate and a temperate ocean climate. Not only is the climate pleasant, but the rainfall is abundant and the land is fertile, making it very suitable for living. Therefore, 70% of the Han people who immigrated to Australia live in this area.  .

    Li Min's last stop in Australia was the largest city in Australia. This big city is called Nan'ao City. It has 70,000 permanent residents, of which more than 46,000 are Han Chinese, and the rest are large.  Some of them are local natives, and there are also a considerable number of Hu merchants, as well as Sanhan people, Japanese people, etc.

    Nan'ao City was not established very long, even later than the Rainbow Harbor they passed through before, but as soon as it was discovered, it quickly attracted many immigrants to live because the climate and land here are very suitable for farming.  , and a considerable part of the immigrants are refugees who have just moved from the Tang Dynasty. They have no business acumen. All they ask for is a piece of fertile land, and this is undoubtedly their best choice.

    After several years of development, Nan'ao City has been basically built, but some areas still need to be improved. However, the local economy and population are making rapid progress, and it is not comparable to a small place like Rainbow Harbor.  Nowadays, Nan'ao City has become the center of commerce, agriculture, and animal husbandry in Australia. Most of the food needed by the entire Australia is almost entirely supplied by this area.

    "Whoosh~" followsThere was a light sound from the bowstring, and a long arrow shot out like lightning. A kangaroo running away in the distance was unable to dodge, and was shot in the back of the neck. As a result, it fell to the ground on the spot, struggled a few times, and finally died.

    "Hahaha, your highness the princess is good at archery!" On the vast coastal plain of southeastern Australia, a horse team galloped over. One of them, a man in his thirties, with three long beards under his chin and a very square appearance, laughed and praised.  road.

    "Brother-in-law, thank you. After getting married in the past few years, I stayed at home every day to take care of my husband and raise my children. I have neglected my archery skills. Otherwise, this arrow should have entered from the back of the kangaroo's head!" A man wearing emerald green Hufu.  The beautiful woman rode out on horseback, her face a little red from riding the horse, but her face was full of joy of hitting the prey. This young woman was Li Min's sister, Princess Gaoyang.  Behind Gao Yang, Qinghe, Li Min, Li Ke and others followed closely.

    "Seventeenth sister is being modest again. Among us sisters, you and Sizi are the only ones with good archery skills. We were praised by our father himself!" A woman in blue who was riding arm-in-arm with Qinghe said with a smile.  .  This woman looks older than Gao Yang and Qinghe, and is probably about the same age as Li Min.

    The woman in blue who spoke was Princess Yuzhang, Gao Yang and Qinghe's sister. She was born in the same year as Li Min, but her birth month was older than Li Min.  The square man who was the first to speak just now was her husband Tang Yoshi, who was also the city lord of Nan'ao City. All cities on the southeastern coast of Australia were under his control.

    Princess Yuzhang ranked sixth among the princesses of the Tang Dynasty. Her mother was a concubine, but unfortunately she died early. Therefore, Princess Yuzhang was single-handedly raised by Empress Changsun, and she has a high status among the princesses.  And her husband Tang Yoshi was also from a famous family.

    Tang Yoshi's father's name was Tang Jian. When he was in the late Sui Dynasty, Tang Jian became friends with Li Shimin. Later, the Li family rebelled, and Tang Jian contributed a lot. Not only was this man very resourceful, but he was also blessed with great fortune.  He fell into the hands of the enemy several times, but he was able to turn danger into safety. He can be said to be the most blessed general in the Tang Dynasty.

    In addition, Tang Jian and Li Min have a common hobby, which is food. When Li Min was in Chang'an, Tang Jian was a frequent visitor to his house. For this reason, the two had a very good personal relationship, and when Li Min was expanding overseas, Tang Jian was a frequent visitor to his house.  In Tu Shi, the extremely shrewd Tang Jian immediately saw Li Min's potential strength, so a few years ago, he encouraged his son Tang Yoshi to give up his official position in the Tang Dynasty and come to Taiwan to assist Li Min.

    For Li Min, Tang Yoshi was not only the son of Tang Jian, whom he had known for many years, but also his brother-in-law, so he could not neglect him no matter what. So Li Min trained Tang Yoshi more from the beginning. After several years of experience, he became deeply aware of it.  Tang Yoshi, who had received the true biography of Tang Jian, gradually revealed his talents, and was then sent to Australia by Li Min to become the lord of Nan'ao City, which could be regarded as the ruling party.

    After Li Min and his fleet arrived, they were immediately arranged by Tang Yizhi. Qinghe and Gao Yang were also very happy when they saw their sister, Princess Yuzhang, and Princess Yuzhang also introduced Nan'ao City to their two sisters with great interest.  Interesting thing, it turned out that there are many preys in South Australia, especially kangaroos, which are very interesting. Qinghe and the others happened to have known about kangaroos for a long time, so their interest was immediately aroused, so today's hunting started.

    Gao Yang rode his horse over to pick up the kangaroo and handed it to the guards behind him. Then he glanced at Li Min who was not far away and teased: "Brother Six, I remember that your archery skills were very good in the past. Why didn't you kill a single prey today?"  arrive?"

    There were not many people participating in this hunting. There were only three couples, Li Min, Li Ke and Tang Yizhi, and Gao Yang and Qinghe. There were eight people in total, but now Gao Yang and the others had already caught several prey behind them.  , even Wen Xin and Yang, who have always been weak, were able to hit a big flightless bird, but Li Min was still empty-handed.

    Hearing Gao Yang's teasing, Li Min said with an unchanging expression: "How many prey you catch is secondary. The most important thing is whether the prey tastes delicious. For example, Gao Yang, you have already shot three kangaroos. It's a pity that  You definitely can¡¯t get used to the taste of kangaroo meat, so no matter how much you shoot, it will be a waste in the end!¡±

    Hearing Li Min's words, Gao Yang was unconvinced and said: "Who said I can't eat it? I'm going to eat it for you to see!"

    "Gao Yang, you should wait and talk about this later. The taste of kangaroo meat" At this time, Princess Yuzhang also advised, and when she talked about kangaroo meat, a very strange expression appeared on her face.

    "Sixth sister, I heard that this kind of kangaroo is the favorite prey of the local natives. Is its meat unpalatable?" At this time, Li Ke also asked.

    "It's not unpalatable, it just tastes weird. Yu Zhang and I only tasted it once before, and we never touched it again!" Tang Yoshi also laughed at this time.

    Hearing the words of several people, Gao Yang showed hesitation on his face, and at this moment Qinghe also smiled and said: "Gao Yang, I advise you not to bet with Sixth Brother. He has always been a tricky person.Man, Sixth Brother knows better than anyone whether something is delicious or not!  "

    But just when Gao Yang was hesitating, Li Min suddenly saw a horse galloping in the distance. It seemed that it should be their guard left on the outside. It seemed that he had something important to report?  (To be continued)
