Three days later, Li Ke and his fleet left Hana Port, and Abu personally sent him off on the port, but Li Ke's ship was added with a beautiful Persian girl, because this little slave not only speaks Chinese, but also is very proficient in Greek, which is the common language of the Eastern Roman Empire. [This article comes from]

The reason why Kelis knows Greek is mainly two reasons. The first is that Kelis is not actually a pure Persian, and her mother is actually an Eastern Roman. So when she was young, she was influenced by her mother and could speak some Greek. Later, after Abu bought Kelis, he also discovered this, so he asked someone to continue teaching Kelis Greek, and planned to give Kelis as a gift to the nobles of the Eastern Roman Empire one day when they went to East Rome to do business, so as to facilitate their own business.

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

Just as Li Ke and his friends entered the Suez Canal, in the Qi Palace in Keelung, Taiwan, Li Yan was leisurely playing with Chou Chou and several other children.

"Father, when will these little things grow chili 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 Yan seriously.

This is the back garden of the royal palace. Li Yan specially opened a small piece of field in the garden, planting American crops such as peppers, tomatoes, peanuts, etc., not for eating, but for children to feel the hard work and fun of farming.

"This will take several months, and we have to fertilize and water them during this period, otherwise these seedlings will not grow." Li Yan touched his son's head in a doting manner and said. Next to him, Chou Chou and Li Qi and other children were trying hard to carry the small wooden barrel and water each seedling attentively.

Some time ago, the exclusive planting rights of American plants finally expired, and everyone can freely plant peppers, corn, peanuts and other crops. Although Li Yan was the biggest supporter of the exploration fleet, the right to plant peppers, such as him and other shareholders, and they can plant them in the plantation they jointly invested, but privately do not have the right to plant them. Li Yan also has to comply with this, so the peppers he eats must also buy from the plantation.

It's interesting to say that not only Li Yan likes to eat chili peppers in the palace. Chou Chou and other children also like spicy food. Every time they eat, there must be a spicy dish on the table, otherwise the children will protest to Li Yan, and there are tomatoes. This is the favorite of several women such as Wen Xin. So Li Yan took this opportunity and combined with the need to educate his children, so he planted some of these crops in the back garden. In order to educate his children, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also took them to the ground to farm in person.

The field is less than one acre and is divided into several small squares. Each square has different crops. Although it doesn't seem to be much, it took Li Ke a lot of time to water it with a bunch of children.

Finally, he finally watered all the crops. It was almost noon. Li Yan put all the tools on the edge of the field barefoot, and then shouted to the children in the field: "After finishing work, go and wash your hands and feet. Be ready for dinner!"

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

Looking at his lively children, Li Yan also showed a doting smile on his face. He arranged the tools he threw down neatly, then went to the pool to help a few younger children clean their hands and feet, and finally went to the restaurant to have lunch under the crowd.

Wen Xin and others were already waiting in the restaurant. Wen Xin had to participate in taking her children to experience farming. However, just a few months ago, Wen Xin became pregnant again, and her third child with Li Yan would be born in a few months, so Li Yan did not dare to make Wen Xin tired.

"Husband, you are really good. Just let the children have a little idea. How can you do it all the morning? Look at how tired Qi'er and the others!" Wu Meiniang took out her handkerchief and complained while wiping the sweat of her son. Wu Meiniang has never been pregnant since she gave birth to Li Qi. This made her anxious and spoiled Li Qi even more. She felt very distressed when she saw her son sweating 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 that? When he gets older, I will learn from my father and start a junior class in the military academy. At that time, he will have to stay in the military academy like his seventh and eighth brothers. Don't come back to see me if he doesn't graduate!" Li Yan said with a big laugh.

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

"Military academy!" After hearing this, Li Qi, who was eight years old, suddenly became brighter and asked again anxiously, "Father, if I go to the military academy, can I play with muskets?"

"Nonsense, muskets are the trend of the future development of the army, and will definitely replace the current cold weapons. What should you do if you don't play muskets?" Li Yan said deliberately unhappy.

"Oh~, it's great, I can finally shoot a gun!" Li Qi jumped up happily and said, "Father, I have decided that next time I'm on my birthday, you must give me a good gun. Then I will take it to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Slap~"

However, Li Qi obviously had no eyes. He was so proud that he didn't notice that his mother Wu Meiniang's face was getting worse and worse. Before he could jump a few times, Wu Meiniang twisted his ear and mentioned it to him. Then, Wu Meiniang was preached by her, Wu Meiniang, and even Li Yan was affected, which made Wen Xin and others cover their mouths and laugh.

After lunch, Li Yan chatted with Wen Xin and Xi Jun and some girls for a while. Until Wen Xin felt a little sleepy, he left to his study to handle official duties. However, in the past period of time, except for the previous cleaning operation, the rest were all about developing the economy of various places and strengthening rule, so there was nothing too important, so Li Yan also seemed very leisurely.

However, as soon as Li Yan arrived at the study, Wu Meiniang also followed him in. Apart from Li Yan, 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 Yan's personal secretary.

"What, Mei Niang, don't you feel sorry for Qi'er and don't let him go to the military academy in the future?" Li Yan looked up at Wu Mei Niang, who was more elegant than the past, and smiled.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she gave Li Yan a blank look and said, "Look 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 be more tempered. Going to the military academy is beneficial or not to harm him, and I can also meet some friends. Of course, I won't react. The reason why I came here is to report important things to you to you."

"Haha, I underestimated Mei Niang for my husband. I am here to apologize to Mei Niang, but what important thing is that you have to report in person?" Li Yan also smiled. He discussed things with Wu Mei Niang, and he has always been mixed with private affairs, but both of them are very smart. They are very clear in their official affairs and private affairs, and they will never affect their official affairs because of private affairs.

"Haha, this matter is not an important matter, but news came from the third brother that he and Lu Wan's fleet had entered the Suez Canal. It is estimated that in the latest one, the capital of Constantinople next to Eastern Rome will arrive at Constantinople, the capital next to Eastern Rome. According to their previous plan, then the third brother will disclose his identity and meet the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire as the King of Wu." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"Well, when passing through the Red Sea, Dashi didn't find his identity?" Li Yan asked with some concern. Although with the current situation, even if Li Ke's identity was exposed, Dashi should not dare to do anything to him, but Li Yan and Li Shimin had suppressed Dashi very much before. If there was any accident, it would be too late to regret it.

"Don't worry, Lu Wan's fleet is so big, and since the signing of the Four Kingdoms Alliance, Dashi did not dare to make things too difficult for Han merchant ships, so the third brother and the others went very smoothly. Even news came from Dashi that the third brother had also taken over a Persian Husband in Hana City." When Wu Meiniang said this, her eyes were circling at Li Yan.

However, Li Yan did not pay attention to Wu Meiniang's reaction. He only said with envy when he heard the Persian Huji: "The third brother is such a blessing. The Persian Huji who can catch his eyes must be a rare beauty."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, he immediately felt a murderous aura coming from Wu Meiniang beside him, which immediately shocked his spirits, and a righteous expression appeared on his face and said loudly: "The third brother is so inappropriate. The third sister-in-law is worried about him every day here. He actually has the heart to find a woman? I will definitely talk about him next time I meet!"

Although Li Yan's reaction was fast enough, it still caused Wu Meiniang to roll her eyes. Then Wu Meiniang snorted coldly and said, "It's not a matter of one word for your husband to want Persian Hu Ji, so why envy the third brother?"
