Ji Jinrong didn't panic.
He stared at the sea monster for a moment.
Slowly, the back of the monster mountain was exposed, and it looked like an ordinary mountain peak, dotted with some aquatic plants and corals.
Some corals are so thick and brilliantly colored that they are unbelievably beautiful to look at. The white sea water poured down from its back, making waves on the surrounding sea.
The waterfall-like sea water "falls" for a long time before revealing the whole picture of the monster.
The part of its back that wasn't covered was shiny black, with sharp corners that looked like a hard shell. Looking further down, there was a huge head poking out from under the shell—just for that head, two people had to embrace it to hug it!
This monster looks like a turtle, but it's not all a turtle!
At least that head looks very weird, definitely not what a giant tortoise should look like. The monster's eyes flashed coldly, as if it had been irritated. It writhed vigorously, trying to break free from the huge hemp rope tied to its body. It was so strong that the boat dragging the "turtle shell" was almost capsized by him!
The general hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, your lord, you should disembark first!"
Ji Jinrong saw that although the monster was struggling fiercely, it didn't come forward to attack. He knew that the thing should have spirituality, and he just wanted to get rid of the restraint, and didn't want to hurt anyone. He looked at King Zhennan: "Stone!"
The King of Zhennan has followed Ji Jinrong for a long time, and he understood what Ji Jinrong meant when he heard it. He said: "The minister will go here."
Zhennan Wang pulled out his sword, jumped onto the ship that was about to capsize, and then stepped on the back of the monster with a few ups and downs leaning on the hemp rope that bound the monster's big shell. It was obvious that the huge monster was tossing violently, but he was walking on the ground.
Before everyone could see clearly, King Zhennan had already swung his sword, and the strong rope slid into the sea in an instant. Taking advantage of the rope not falling completely, King Zhennan jumped up and returned to the boat closest to him.
The monster was freed, and the sea was churning.
King Zhennan put away his sword and returned to Ji Jinrong's side neatly.
Ji Jinrong said to the monster: "Go back, go back to the sea."
The sea gradually quieted down.
The monster didn't move at all, neither swam away nor sank, as if lying on flat ground.
Ji Jinrong said: "When Taiping arrives, I will definitely invite you to come!"
The monster seemed to understand Ji Jinrong's words, turned around suddenly, and sank into the sea without looking back. At first I could still see a faint silhouette from the sea, but then I couldn't even see the shadow, as if the commotion just now was just a dream of everyone.
When everyone woke up like a dream, the leader, Future, knelt down on one knee with a plop, and said in unison with the soldiers kneeling behind him: "Xuanwu is here, and the world will be flat!"
Now that Xuanwu is alive, the world will be flat!
The voices of the sailors are all practiced in the huge waves, and when they shout, their voices are loud. The workers and idlers who were watching blankly on the pier were all awakened by the shock. They all knelt down and shouted: "Xuanwu is here, the world will be flat!"
Ji Jinrong accepted everyone's kneeling calmly.
What he likes most is this kind of intelligent person.
As long as you mention it a little bit, they will understand immediately. Regardless of whether this monster is a big turtle or Xuanwu, so many people have seen it, so many people have shouted it, then it is "Xuanwu"! In ancient times, the most important thing in raising troops and conquests is "the division is famous". With this, the king of Zhennan sent troops to fight again, which can be regarded as "following the destiny".
Ji Jinrong looked at King Zhennan.
The king of Zhennan knew it well. He was also calm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."
Lunch is served at the pier.
The conditions are not as good as in Gongli, but the taste is better. The seafood was just caught from the sea, and the King of Zhennan gave an order, and the fishing boats went out to sea one after another, and they had a good harvest in a short while. Some children also took out many seaside snails from around the stone wall on the shore, and excitedly took them to the hands of the "chef".
For sailors and soldiers who have been drifting at sea for several months, the fresh fruits and vegetables supplied by the wharf are more attractive than seafood. Although they brought a lot of fried juice when they went, it was not as delicious as freshly picked ones.
Ji Jinrong also found it novel.
Although Ji Jinrong has never done farming and mulberry work himself, he is not a person who does not understand farming. He knew that vegetables and rice were in season, and it was winter, so logically there should not be so many vegetables—generally speaking, only the greenhouses in the palace had enough fresh vegetables.
Ji Jinrong looked at King Zhennan.
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty doesn't like vegetables, so he didn't notice this." He briefly explained to Ji Jinrong how these fresh fruits and vegetables came from. In the previous world, various resources were already very scarce, and vegetables and fruits were very bad. Most people can only rely on artificially synthesized nutrient solutions to maintain their lives. In that era, people tried their best to grow plants, even if they planted a grass, it would be a great blessing to them!
In contrast, the severe cold is nothing.
Zhennan Wang said: "The greenhouse we built is similar to the greenhouse in the palace, but it costs less money and the materials are easier to find. In the early years, we can grow vegetables and fruits in winter. In the past two years, the vegetables in winter have been able to supply Common people, it is sold in markets in all states and counties.”
What King Zhennan said was so novel, Ji Jinrong listened very carefully. Had these methods been available back then, Da Zhou would not have reached the end of his battle.
It was precisely because of this situation that the old master and the others agreed to let Wei Tingjun succeed him.
The building is about to collapse, so it doesn't matter whether the royal family is royal or not, as long as the Great Zhou can be passed down!
It's not too late now.
If they really go back in the future, they will definitely be able to turn the tide and bring Da Zhou out of danger.
Ji Jinrong ate with peace of mind.
When he and King Zhennan had almost eaten, the admiral came over again. The general has ordered everyone to unload and repack the goods, ready to send them to the capital. He got Ji Jinrong's nod, sat down and told Ji Jinrong and King Zhennan about the "Xuanwu": "Someone saw this big shell in the sea and thought it was very powerful, so he tied it with a hemp rope and dragged it behind the boat to bring it back. .Because this big shell has not moved, everyone thought it was just an empty shell and didn't pay attention to it."
Ji Jinrong remembered that the black shell was so big, like a whole mountain, it really looked amazing!
Ji Jinrong said, "It's really amazing."
The general was excited and said happily: "Isn't it! I didn't expect that big shell to survive just now! Your Majesty, the general thinks it may really be 'Xuanwu'! The general goes to sea so I have seen sea turtles many times, and the shell just now is really not like that of sea turtles. And I just saw its head and teeth, which are really astonishingly big, and ordinary sea turtles don’t look like this!”
Ji Jinrong listened with a smile, but didn't say much.
King Zhennan felt that this eloquent guy was a bit of an eyesore.
Even if he was his subordinate, he was not happy to see someone slamming their presence in front of Ji Jinrong.
King Zhennan interrupted: "Is Your Majesty full?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Almost."
King Zhennan said: "This time, a few Westerners came with the boat. They can make something called 'bread', which is different from the buns we usually eat. Your Majesty can have a taste. Wait for the conditions Enough, I will let them prepare some western desserts for His Majesty."
The small flames in Ji Jinrong's eyes flared up again, and the joy was beyond words: "Okay!"
The general: "..."
Who said their website was ambitious? He saw that their lords wanted to pack all the good things for their Majesty! I just talked about why the prince asked him to find a good cook and good ingredients, so it was to please His Majesty!
Ji Jinrong was already 70% full. Hearing that King Zhennan said there was something new to eat, he stopped eating anything else right away. He stood up and went to watch the Western chefs make bread with King Zhennan. It is said that it is different, but the ingredients are similar, the most important thing is flour made from wheat.
But the process of making bread is not the same.
Ji Jinrong had never seen anyone else make steamed buns, so he watched with relish. The Westerners are tall, with different hair and eye colors from them. Their wide palms are like cattail fans, and the dough forms quickly. The oven used for this bread is also different. Ji Jinrong looked back and forth for a long time, seeing that the bread was not cooked for a while, so he kneaded the dough under the guidance of the western cook, and kneaded it into the shape of the bread.
Soon, the smell of bread wafted from the temporary "kitchen".
Perhaps because he had never tasted it before, Ji Jinrong sniffed, feeling that the taste was extraordinarily sweet.
King Zhennan took a large piece of bread and shared a small half with Ji Jinrong. The outer skin of the bread is baked golden, but the inside is snow white, fluffy and soft to the touch.
Ji Jinrong took a sip, and felt that the bread was fragrant on the outside and soft on the inside, and it tasted amazing!
King Zhennan said: "If no yeast is added, it will be flatter and harder when it is made, but it can be stored for a longer time, and it will not go bad for half a month. If you want to march and fight, you can eat it for a long time if you bring one."
Ji Jinrong knew what this meant. This means that in future wars, you can take this thing with you, lest the food and grass cannot keep up or you have no conditions to fire, and the soldiers are hungry and carry it hard! If you need to march quickly, this is simply the best ration. Ji Jinrong said, "Not bad!"
The King of Zhennan let Ji Jinrong taste the other two kinds of bread, and then ordered someone to deliver the wine brought back by the caravan, and said, "This wine tastes sweet, drink a small glass before going to bed, and you can sleep well at night."
Looking at the glowing red wine, Ji Jinrong was suddenly curious about its taste.
King Zhennan and Ji Jinrong sat opposite each other, poured a glass for Ji Jinrong himself, and said, "This is made from grapes, and the wine is very weak, just suitable for Your Majesty to drink."
Ji Jinrong tasted it while listening, only to feel that what King Zhennan said was true. This wine tastes sweet and has a nice color. It's really delicious!
With bright eyes, Ji Jinrong said to King Zhennan, "I like it."
