The heavens start from saving Daming

"I got so many spices this time, what reward will I get when I go home?"

Facing the inquiry, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Yaojin's son, responded with a smile on his face, "I will obey my father's orders."

"I got so many spices this time, what reward will I get when I go home?"

Fang Yiai scratched her head, "Before we set off, Chang Sun Chong said that he saw several businesses but had no capital, and wanted to borrow some from me. If there is a reward, then lend it to him."

"I got so many spices this time, what reward will I get when I go home?"

Li Siwen said with a righteous face, "Doing things for the family, what rewards are there?"

"I got so many spices this time, what reward will I get when I go home?"

Wu Yuanshuang, holding back as if he could pierce the deck, shouted, "There is a girl named Hongyue in Pingkangfang, I will redeem her and take her back to the mansion."

"."

Facing the same question, all the dudes gave different answers.

Excluding those who play tricks and those who are not smart, most of them focus on eating, drinking and having fun.

Regarding this kind of result, Li Yunze also shook his head, "The honorable education of the Tang Dynasty is no good."

No wonder there were few descendants of famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty who were in their early years.

Even if there was a Li Jingye, he still brought the whole family into the graveyard to play disco.

Let alone the late Tang Dynasty, there was no news about them in the middle Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps the descendants still occupy a place in the court, but that is just the shadow of the ancestors, and it is not worth mentioning in itself.

Even in Li Er's era, there were some idiots who rebelled and conspired, or simply guarded the door.

Li Yunze was very emotional about this, "Don't you want to do something meaningful? It's boring to eat and die all day long."

The dandies reacted in different ways.

Some are stupid, some continue to act, and some just show off.

There is also a very straightforward statement, "My father and the others followed His Majesty to fight the country, didn't they go through life and death just to let us have fun?" '

Li Yunze was also amused, these dudes were quite accurate in seeing things.

He stopped probing, and asked straightforwardly, "If Datang establishes a state and counties in Nanyang, which of you would like to work here? It must be a high-profile match."

All the responses to him were a neat shake of the head.

Even Fang Yiai, who looks a bit naive, doesn't want to come to such a place full of smoke.

Later generations always talk about the age of great voyages. One of the most important points is that most people would rather involuntarily involuntarily in the middle-earth, which is fertile and thousands of miles away, than go to the bitter cold land in the north and the smoky land in the south to open up frontiers. earth.

There have been overpopulation problems in all dynasties. In fact, as long as you go out, you can solve it very well.

But there are really too few people who really go out.I can only watch countless fertile soils become someone else's.

Before coming, Li Yunze only thought about cleaning up the savages here, and vented his anger well.

But now that such a rich Nuoda Island is in front of him, but no one is willing to take it, is it really going to be left to those savages who don't even have pants?

"After going back, I have to talk to Li Erhaosheng about the matter here."

The land of the Nanyang Islands is actually very fertile, because there are many volcanoes here, and volcanic ash is recognized as high-quality fertile soil.

On this point, just look at the little days.

Before entering the industrial age, relying on the larger plains on a few islands could support so many people. The fundamental reason is that the volcanic ash land is too fertile.

If you want to promote this matter, you can only do it by Li Er.

The previously scattered fleets gradually began to gather again, and each one saw that the waterline had dropped significantly, and the warehouses were filled with various spices that had been dried in the sun.

There are those who are greedy, and even the deck is full.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunze immediately ordered them to throw all the excess weight into the sea.

It wasn't spices that were thrown, it was all money.

Facing the passionate opposition from the crowd, Li Yunze's response was simple, "If you don't want to throw it away, just jump down and accompany it."

Afterwards, some old sailors naturally explained, "It's not a stormy season, and the ship is close to the island, so it's okay to say that the waves are not big."But on the way back, the waves were rough. If so much was installed, the ship would capsize if the wind and waves were stronger. '

Although everyone was still dissatisfied, it was much better than the red-eyed state when they first came to the Spice Islands, and they could only reluctantly agree in the end.

Of course, there are also suggestions to throw those Champa seeds overboard to free up storage space.

Regarding this proposal, Li Yunze directly threw the proposer, Cheng Chuliang, who was quite clever, into the sea and calmed down.

With Li Yunze's promise, everyone who will come back next year finally set sail and started their return journey after earning a lot of money.

With Li Yunze providing precise coordinates and directions as a guide, the fleet finally returned to Lingnan after sailing for more than a month.

When the news came out, the entire city of Guangzhou was in a commotion, and countless people came to the pier to watch the excitement.

When the sacks of spices belonging to the Feng family were transported ashore by boat, Feng An even came to the pier in person.

The sackcloth bag was cut open with a knife, and the expensive spices immediately spilled out, and the surrounding people exclaimed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Feng Zhidai, who was stopped by Feng An, asked in a deep voice, "Do you remember the location?"

"I can only remember an outline, it's too far away." Feng Zhidai explained with a wry smile, "Actually, it's useless even if you find it."

"Huh?" Feng An raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

After going out to sea, Feng Zhidai, who was obviously tanned but also obviously more energetic, responded, "It's still the same sentence, it's too far. It's thousands of miles of sea."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhidai stretched out his finger to the big ship on the sea in the distance, "Except for that kind of big ship, idle ships can't go there at all. Even if they follow, they will never come back. Those pirates who followed are like this."

Feng An looked thoughtfully at the sea boat in the distance, "Can I buy it?"

He didn't think about grabbing it directly.

Although it is said that five hundred Lingnan soldiers are on board, there is a good chance that a few ships can be snatched if they really try to grab them.Not to mention that these ships are filled with a lot of priceless spices.

But what about after?

If he really did this, he would blatantly slap Li Er in the face, and offend a large number of nobles.

Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. If you cut off so many valuable goods, the famous generals will come in a swarm.

Unwilling, Feng An asked again, "Can it be made?"

Lingnan is close to the sea, so there is no shortage of shipbuilding capabilities.

But as soon as the words came out, Feng An himself shook his head.

After thinking for a long time, Feng An made a decision. He looked at Feng Zhidai and said, "You go with the fleet and serve in front of the palace of Chang'an City."

Feng Zhidai nodded vigorously, and immediately responded.

It is said that it is a service, but it is actually a hostage.After all, he is the eldest son who wants to inherit the family business, and only those with this status are eligible to be hostages.

When the fleet was repairing in Lingnan, Li Yunze went to the fields he bought and looked at the thriving sugarcane fields, and was very satisfied with it.

When it's time to harvest, the sucrose produced by pressing is estimated to be able to meet the needs of most of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yunze also left half of the Champa rice seeds, instructing the farmers in Li's Village to plant them after the sugar cane was harvested.

Champa rice is said to be cropped three times a year, but the premise is that it is in the south where the climate is hotter.

If they were brought to Chang'an City, they would probably be cooked once a year.

In order for Li Er to see the benefits of this thing, there must be a good experimental field to show.

When the fleet left Lingnan, they took Feng Zhidai with them.

Along the way, Feng Zhidai and Li Yunze made close relationships in various ways, and they were extremely enthusiastic.

That day, Li Yunze was fishing on the deck, and Feng Zhidai was beside him.

"The Pearl River is full of waterwheels at this time, and it is very convenient to irrigate the fertile fields." Feng Zhidai said with a smile, "This is all the work of Master Li."

Li Yunze, who was concentrating on fishing, replied, "Yes, it's all due to me."

Feng Zhidai grinned, and said, "All kinds of iron farm tools produced in Lijiazhuang are convenient and durable, and those who have used them say they are good. Master Li is the savior of farmers all over the world."

Now Li Yunze finally turned his head and looked at him, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Lingnan is short of iron." Feng Zhidai scratched his head in embarrassment, "The wooden waterwheel cannot be used for a long time, and the number of iron agricultural tools is not enough. The main reason is the lack of iron. If the owner of Li Zhuang can supply iron to Lingnan, Lingnan must be very grateful .”

On the surface, the meaning is to want the iron parts of the waterwheel and iron farm tools, but in fact, the hidden line is to want more iron armor and iron weapons and so on.

The five hundred Lingnan soldiers seconded this time, after their return, apart from wages and spices, everyone got a set of iron armor and iron weapons.

Its super quality makes everyone in Lingnan extremely satisfied.

Now that you are satisfied, you want more.

Feng Zhidai first said that the waterwheel and farm tools are just the beginning, and after the relationship is established, it is naturally much easier to buy iron armor.

Li Yunze has seen a lot of these methods and speaking skills before.

Fixing the fishing rod, Li Yunze sighed and stared at Feng Zhidai, making him a little embarrassed.

"Do you think I'm very powerful?" Li Yunze asked, "I can get what I want. You can find Spice Island thousands of miles out to sea. Hundreds of sets of sturdy armor can be taken out casually. Once this kind of big ship comes out, there are dozens of them. ship."

Feng Zhidai sneered, "Yes."

"I can tell you the truth." Li Yunze raised his hand and patted Feng Zhidai's shoulder. "What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. My real ability is far more than that."

"I know you want iron armor, as long as I want, I can come up with eight thousand sets at will."

Having said that, he spread his hands, "But why did you give it to you, did you rebel against you?"

"How is it possible?!" Hearing the words of rebellion, Feng Zhidai screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I'm just waiting to protect myself."

"Self-protection for what?"

Li Yunze's smile gradually changed. It froze, "Lingnan is already the land of the Great Tang, who are you going to protect yourself from? I don't care about other things, but I provide materials and technology to the Great Tang to make the Great Tang stronger, and It's not for ambitious people to provide ammunition."

After all, he waved his hand, picked up the fishing rod and continued to pay attention to the sea.

"Who dares to rebel and destroy the hard-won peaceful life of the people. Then I will show the rebels what it means to smash you to death with money."
