Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Three days later, Li Ke and his fleet left the port of Hana, and Abu saw them off personally at the port. However, there was a beautiful Persian girl, Kelis, on Li Ke's ship, because this little slave girl not only spoke Chinese, but also  He was also very proficient in Greek, the common language of the Eastern Roman Empire.  [This article comes from]

    The reason why Kelis understands Greek is mainly due to two reasons. The first is because Kelis is not actually a pure Persian. Her mother is actually an Eastern Roman, so when she was a child, she was influenced by her mother.  Affected by the influence, he could speak some Greek. Later, after Abu bought Coris, he also discovered this, so he asked someone to teach Coris Greek. When he was going to do business in Eastern Rome one day, he would make Coris.  It was given as a gift to the nobles of Eastern Rome to facilitate their own business.

    It is also true that Kelis not only can speak and write Greek, but also knows something about the internal situation of the Eastern Roman Empire. This is naturally a rare helper for Li Ke and others when they come into contact with the Eastern Roman Empire.  , which can save a lot of trouble, so in the end Lu Wan also agreed to take Kelis on the ship.

    "At the same time that Li Ke and the others entered the Suez Canal, Li Min was playing very leisurely with Chou Chou and other children in the Prince Qi's Mansion in Keelung, Taiwan.

    "Father, when will these little things grow peppers?" Li Xiu, who was just four years old, pointed to the seedlings that were only a few inches tall in the field and asked Li Min seriously.

    This is the back garden of the palace. Li Min specially opened a small field in the garden and planted peppers, tomatoes, peanuts and other American crops. The main reason is not for eating, but to let the children experience the hard work and fun of farming.

    "This will take several months, and during this period we have to fertilize and water them, otherwise these seedlings will not grow big." Li Min said, touching his son's head lovingly.  Beside him, Chou Chou, Li Qi and several other children.  I am working hard to carry the small wooden bucket and water each seedling attentively.

    Some time ago, the exclusive planting rights of American plants finally expired, and everyone can freely grow peppers, corn, peanuts and other crops.  Although Li Min was the biggest supporter of the exploration fleet at the beginning, the right to plant peppers was shared between him and other shareholders. They could plant them in jointly owned plantations, but private individuals did not have the right to plant them. Li Min did not have the right to plant them.  He also had to comply, so he had to buy the chili peppers he ate from the plantation.

    It¡¯s also interesting to say that Li Min is not the only one who likes to eat chili peppers in the palace.  These Chou Chou children also particularly like spicy food. Every time they eat, there must be a spicy dish on the table, otherwise the children will protest to Li Min, and there will also be tomatoes.  It was the favorite of Wen Xin and several other women, so Li Min took advantage of this opportunity and the need to educate his children, so he planted some of these crops in the back garden. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also brought them to educate their children.  Let them work in the fields themselves.

    This field is less than an acre and is divided into several small squares.  Different crops were planted in each square. Although it didn't look like much, Li Ke took a group of children to water the crops himself, which took a lot of time.

    Finally, with great difficulty, all the crops were watered.  It was almost noon. Li Min put all the tools on the edge of the field with his bare feet, and then shouted to the children in the field: "The work is done, go and wash your hands and feet. Get ready to eat!"

    "Oh~" the children cheered, and quickly ran over and dropped the tools in their hands.  Then he went to wash his hands at the nearby pool. In fact, these children were already tired. Although Li Min felt sorry for the children, he didn't want to pamper them too much, so he stipulated that he could only go to eat after finishing his work.

    Looking at his lively children, Li Min also had a doting smile on his face. He immediately arranged the tools thrown by the children neatly, and then went to the pool to help the smaller children wash up.  Hands and feet, and finally, surrounded by children, we went to the restaurant for lunch.

    Wen Xin and others were already waiting in the restaurant. Originally, Wen Xin had to participate in taking her children to experience farming. However, just a few months ago, Wen Xin became pregnant again, and she and Li Min had their third child.  The child will be born in a few months, so Li Min doesn't dare to tire Wen Xin.

    "Husband, you are serious, you just need to let the children think about it for a while, how can you do it all morning, look at how tired Qi'er and the others are!" Wu Meiniang took out her handkerchief and complained while wiping her son's sweat.  Wu Meiniang has not been pregnant again since she gave birth to Li Qi. This made her anxious and doting on Li Qi even more. She felt very distressed when her son sweated a little.

    "Haha, I feel sorry for you. Qi'er is the eldest son. Of course he has to set an example for his younger brothers. And what's more, when he gets older, I will follow my father's example and open a juvenile class in the military academy.  , then he will have to go to the military academy for a few years like his seventh and eighth brothers, and don¡¯t come back to see me until he graduates!" Li Min said with a laugh

    Speaking of which, Li Min now has seven children. Chou Chou is the eldest daughter, Li Qize is the eldest son, and there are two sons, Li Mian and Li Xiu, as well as his and Wen Xin's daughter Youlan. In addition, some time ago, Jin Shengman and Wen Xin  They gave birth to a son and a daughter at almost the same time, named Li Han and Li Qingyu respectively.  The reason why we named our little daughter Herring was mainly because Wen'er always dreamed of a huge herring a few days before giving birth, so she got such a name.

    "Military academy!" Li Qi, who was already eight years old, suddenly brightened his eyes after hearing this, and asked again very eagerly, "Father, if I go to the military academy, can I play with muskets?"

    "Nonsense, muskets will be the development trend of the army in the future, and they will definitely replace the current cold weapons. What are you doing if your generation doesn't play with muskets?" Li Min said deliberately angrily.

    "Oh~, great, I can finally shoot a gun!" Li Qi jumped up happily and said, "Father, I have decided that on my next birthday, you must give me a good gun.  Take it to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Bang bang~"

    However, Li Qi obviously didn't pay much attention to him. He was so complacent that he didn't notice that his mother Wu Meiniang's face was getting worse and worse. Before she even jumped up a few times, Wu Meiniang twisted her ears and brought her to her side, and then she gave her a lecture.  Even Li Min was affected, causing Wen Xin and others to cover their mouths and snicker.

    After lunch, Li Min chatted with Wen Xin and Xijun for a while. It wasn't until Wen Xin felt a little sleepy that he left and went to his study to handle official duties. However, during this period of time, apart from the previous cleaning operation, Li Min was busy  After a while, everything else was about developing the economy of various places and strengthening governance, so there was nothing too important, so Li Min seemed very leisurely.

    But as soon as Li Min arrived in the study, Wu Meiniang also followed her in. Apart from Li Min, only she and Jin Shengman could enter and exit the study at will. After all, one of them was the intelligence chief and the other was Li Min's personal secretary.

    "Why, Meiniang, you don't feel sorry for Qi'er and don't want him to go to the military academy in the future, right?" Li Min raised his head and glanced at Wu Meiniang, who was more elegant than before, and said with a smile.

    When Wu Meiniang heard this, she rolled her eyes at Li Min and said: "Looking at what my husband said, although I feel sorry for Qi'er, I still know the importance of it. As the eldest son, Qi'er naturally needs to practice more. Going to the military academy will be beneficial to him."  , and I can also make some friends, of course I won¡¯t react. The reason why I came here is to report something important to you, husband."

    "Haha, my husband has underestimated Mei Niang. I am here to apologize to Mei Niang, but is it something important that you should report in person?" Li Min also said with a smile.  When he and Wu Meiniang discuss matters, they always mix business and private matters, but both of them are very smart and can clearly distinguish between public and private matters, and they will never let private matters interfere with official matters.

    "Haha, this matter is not an important official matter. It's just news from the third brother that he and Lu Wan's fleet has entered the Suez Canal. It is estimated that it will reach the capital next to Eastern Rome in about a month at the latest.  Constantinople, according to their previous plan, the third brother will reveal his identity and meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire as King Wu." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

    "Well, Dashi didn't find out his identity when he passed through the Red Sea, right?" Li Min asked with some concern.  Although in the current situation, even if Li Ke's identity is exposed, Dashi should not dare to do anything to him. However, Li Min and Li Shimin suppressed Dashi severely before. If something unexpected happens, they will regret it.  That's too late.

    "Don't worry, Lu Wan's fleet is so big, and since the Four Kingdoms Covenant was signed, Dashi didn't dare to make it too difficult for the Han merchant ships, so the third brother and the others had a very smooth journey, and there was even a message from Dashi.  The news is that the third brother has taken in a Persian Orchid in Hana City." When Wu Meiniang said this, she looked at Li Min with dazzling eyes.

    But Li Min didn't pay attention to Wu Meiniang's reaction. When he heard about the Persian Orchid, he said with envy: "The third brother is really lucky. The Persian Orchid that catches his eye must be a rare beauty."

    As soon as Li Min finished speaking, he immediately felt a murderous aura coming from Wu Meiniang next to him. This made him immediately shaken. A righteous expression appeared on his face and he loudly said: "Third brother is so outrageous. Third brother is too shameful."  My sister-in-law is worried about him here every day, but he still wants to find a woman? I will definitely talk about him next time we meet! "

    Although Li Min's reaction was quick enough, it still caused Wu Meiniang to roll her eyes. Then Wu Meiniang snorted coldly and said: "My husband wants a Persian orchid. It's just a matter of words. Why should I envy my third brother?"

    Li Min just smiled apologetically after hearing this. He knew that he must not answer the phone at this time, otherwise Wu Meiniang would definitely scold her.  But what Li Min didn't expect was that Wu Meiniang suddenly smiled very charmingly at Li Min and said: "Husband, what Wang Fu and the others proposed to you last time??, what are you thinking about? Now the time is ripe. If you don't agree again, I'm afraid it will really chill the hearts of the civil and military officials below.  "
