The next day, everyone boarded the ship and set sail. Cheng Chumo looked at the north of India from the boat. He thought that the next time, it would not be these 1,000 people, but an army of 30,000, who would directly conquer India. Cheng Chumo was still very envious of the cultivated land resources in the north of India. The Ganges Plains had the most fertile land in the world, the most abundant water sources, and sunlight. It was very suitable for growing high-yield rice.
The journey back was calm, which made it very convenient for Cheng Chumo's fleet. They followed the original route and slowly returned. When they passed by some large islands, they would stop to replenish their supplies and take a look at the resources on the island. Unknowingly, they had already crossed the Strait of Malacca and arrived at the island that he had named Golden Phoebe Island. At this point, they knew that they were not far from the Great Tang. For this batch of Phoebe Nanmu, Cheng Chumo had two large ships empty. After that, there was a frenzied mining. All the trees that were thicker than a bowl were cut down by them and dragged onto the ship. All these things were worth money in Chang 'an, so the crew members were very active because they also had a share of the money.
A month passed, and they finally saw Lu. "Everyone, put in more effort.”
When the ship landed at Lingnan's port, the crew ran down like crazy and buried their faces in the beach. These people, who had shed blood and sweat on foreign battlefields but did not shed tears, returned to their hometowns and cried like children who weighed 200 pounds. It was the tradition of the people of Yanxia to stay in their homeland.
"I'm finally home!"
"Yes, I'm finally home!"
Cheng Chumo was also very excited. His eyes were red, and he almost couldn't help but pee. Cheng Chumo gave all the crew a three-day holiday and let them go to the city to have fun. After all, everyone had money.
After dinner, Cheng Chumo gathered the first batch of sailors who had returned to the Tang Empire.
"How much land has been reclaimed, has the rice been sown, and how is the harvest?”Cheng Chumo asked one of the stewards.
"So that Senior Guard Cheng will know that we brought back a large number of slaves from Linyi. Therefore, they had sufficient manpower and had already reclaimed 1 million mu of land. As for the high-yield rice, he estimated that he would be able to harvest it in another month. After all, Senior Guard Cheng, you spent four months in India.”
"Well done, everyone will be rewarded. Everyone, go to the capital ship and get 10 gold taels. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard and do a better job in the promotion of high-yield rice. Food was the most important thing for the people, and the foundation of the Great Tang was food. Now that we have high-yield seeds, everything depends on us.”
"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will not disappoint Senior Guard Cheng's high hopes. In the future, he would definitely work hard to cultivate high-yield rice.”
"Alright, go down and receive your reward.”Cheng Chumo waved them off.
When he was alone, Cheng Chumo was also thinking about his parents, brothers, and the woman he had been dreaming about in Chang 'an. "I wonder how Dad and Mom are doing? Could Chuliang, Chubi, and the other kids be able to take charge of a place alone? Did Princess Changle's qi attack act up? Was Xiao Cui still in a daze every day? Soon, he would be able to return to Chang 'an after harvesting the rice in a month. It was only the beginning of spring when she left home. Now, it was already autumn. After drifting on the sea for more than half a year, she really missed home! However, when they returned this time and saw so much gold, would Li Shimin, his parents, and the other dukes laugh their eyes out and bend over? Just think about it, it's all quite interesting!" Cheng Chumo crossed his arms in the courtyard and looked up to the north as if he could see Chang 'an.
