The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Huang Shangshu spoke until his voice became hoarse, Xia Hongdi nodded to Uncle Zhongqin and continued.

"Your Majesty, this is what I want to introduce to you! Well, it's pepper seeds!
Pepper that costs tens of taels of silver a catty in Daxia is only a few tens of pennies per catty in Tianzhu.

Isn't all the high profits going to the middlemen?

Dissatisfied, my Great Xia Dynasty is so big, is there no land where I can grow pepper?
But thinking about pepper vine, at least it can only be grown in a hot and humid environment like Tianzhu.

Let's call the shots and keep those pepper saplings in Anzhou!

Hahaha, Your Majesty, in a few years, we can even produce pepper.

In the future, who will buy this thing at a high price?
Let us common people in the Great Xia Dynasty use this common seasoning, just like chili! "

"You guys are really! You're so capable! Those sea merchants sold it out of their heads! Hahahaha, if we can grow pepper in Daxia, what can they do to us?"

How can Xia Hongdi not know that pepper smuggling has been banned repeatedly, and the source is that there is no production of this stuff in Daxia!

Gao Huaiyu also added how Uncle Zhongqin used peppers in exchange for Tianzhu's pepper seeds and pepper planting method, which made Xia Hongdi laugh out loud.

His mistress is so talented, what kind of skill is it to exchange silk and porcelain for real money?The wisdom of a genius is real money!
"Hey, Your Majesty, I found a very interesting tree in the Inca Empire.

A lot of white sap can flow out from a tree cut with a knife, and the local people can form a thin film on their bodies to prevent mosquito bites.

I think that if you study it carefully, there may be other advantages, and you have brought back a lot of seeds, which can be planted in Lingnan and Yazhou! "

Xia Hongdi nodded in support without even thinking about it. Next year, he will transfer Tu Sinong to Uncle Zhongqin, and the two should get along well.

After talking about these gains, several people introduced the economic, political, and military strengths of overseas countries.

In particular, the fact that the Sultan of Delhi in Tianzhu is a Tatar is specially explained.

Tatars, this powerful enemy, Xia Hongdi said, he has never let down his vigilance against them.

To be able to go overseas to usurp power in other countries, let alone underestimate it.

"The geographical location of the vassal state of Sri Buddha is particularly important, and it is necessary to pass through this country when entering and exiting the Western Ocean.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty!I took the initiative to ask for an island in the country, so that the sailor brothers of Shieldfish Island have an extra place to train their troops! "

"Hahaha! You're so self-assertive, I forgive you no matter how many times you come here!" Xia Hongdi was so happy that he set off firecrackers, he was able to go to the vassal state to garrison troops, who would not be happy?The establishment of the [-] navy seems to be a little less!

Thinking of another vassal state, Xia Hongdi restrained his smile: "The son of King Jiaozhi, let him go to the Imperial Academy to study for a few years, and learn what is: filial piety, etiquette, loyalty, and shame!"

Everyone praises it.
"Your Majesty, Daxia's sea-going ship technology is mature enough, and the combat effectiveness of the navy is not weak.

There are still so many wild lands overseas, some of which don’t even have natives, and there are so many gold, silver and precious stones that it is unimaginable, there is a lot to do! "

"My minister seconded, although it took us nearly three years this time, the route map is clear no matter whether it is going east or west.

If we don't dig, sooner or later those big food merchants will have to go. At worst, we can still dig gold mines for decades! "

"My ministers seconded the proposal, saying that raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, the navy of Daxia can set off again at any time!"

"Okay! Well said!" Xia Hongdi laughed heartily again, not to mention that these people are reluctant to part with those golden gems in Borderlands, he is also reluctant!
The ships of Jiangnan Shipyard have never stopped working in the past few years, and the ships will be built better and bigger.

Not only for these gold, silver and jewels, but also the food brought back by Uncle Zhongqin and the technologies that they couldn't figure out for thousands of years are also priceless treasures.

There are also those textile slaves mentioned by Uncle Zhongqin. If more technical talents can come to Daxia, why can't the Daxia Dynasty continue for hundreds of years? !
Speaking of the last day, Uncle Zhongqin did not forget to remind: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the sky is round and the earth is round, but this time we started from where we came back to. Does it mean that the land we live in is not square? , but round?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the officials of the Imperial College and the Qin Tianjian of the observation ship have also questioned this statement. Your Majesty, we have personally experienced this theory, so we have to believe it!"

This incident aroused heated discussions among the monarchs and ministers. When it came to excitement, officials from the Qin Tianjian were also called to discuss a dark world.

After explaining everything that should be explained, Xia Hongdi looked at the three of them, looking at each other, and seemed to have something to say, and couldn't help being curious: "Is there a baby?"

Uncle Zhongqin and Huang Shangshu lowered their heads, Gao Zongbing's complexion was not good: "Your Majesty, the Delhi Sultan of Tianzhu also gave you twenty beautiful court maids, and the ministers also brought them back to the capital."

"Hehe! The beautiful maid from Fanbang? I know!" Looking at the aggrieved eyes of his brother-in-law, Xia Hongdi held back his smile for a while, what a fool.

The Yuan Wenjie brothers who returned to the capital two days behind, waited for Zhao Leiting and the others to bring their luggage home, so they took these large suitcases and went to the palace to meet the prince and other brothers.

Qin Ke couldn't wait for the luggage. They went back to the palace in one step earlier, holding his big cat to offer treasures to his brothers.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" "Excuse me, excuse me!"

"Come on! It's just the two of you who are missing. Qin Ke didn't talk about life and death yesterday. He has to wait until you come to talk about it. Brothers are so anxious!"

"Brothers, we have a lot of time to talk about our travels. Shouldn't your focus be on the treasures we brought back from this trip?"

The two brothers were happy, and while talking, they ordered the palace man to bring in the big box they brought into the palace.

Before opening the box, he handed the prepared account book to everyone.

"The account books are all here. Brothers, if you don't understand, just ask me." Yuan Wenjie was more careful than Qin Ke and Yuan Wenwu, and he also made the account books himself.

"Who is impatient to look at this, let's take a look at the baby first! Hey, who can not miss this?"

"That's right, that's right! I heard that Wei Shangshu was knocked unconscious by the gold, silver and jewels that Uncle and the others brought back!"

Seeing everyone's anxious looks, Yuan Wenjie didn't say much, and quickly opened eight large sandalwood boxes.

The few people who gathered together were instantly shocked by the gold and precious stones in the box:
"Wow! Your Highness, Your Highness, look, these gems are really beautiful. Qin Ke, Wenjie Wenwu, are you robbing them? How did you change so many?"

The prince, who has seen the world, is a little short of breath when he sees so many gold, silver and jewels, and the other three are not rich.

"That's right, don't gems from overseas be used as money?"

"Hahaha, of course not. Look at these green ones, but they were picked for nothing. On the first island we went to, there was a large stretch of emerald beach, a large stretch, and many of them were broken into sand. We picked them I picked it up for the bigger one, doesn’t it look good?”

"Bai, did you pick it up for nothing?" What excited the teenagers was actually for nothing, what a lifespan!

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother! You are simply too capable, oh my god, there are so many gems! Our Duke's Mansion has never seen such a battle!" Gao Qianli was not calm, grabbed the peridot, and The light shines and shines.

"Such a fresh emerald green, you can always sell dozens or even hundreds of taels in the capital! If I go, I can pick it up for a year!"

Cai Hanwen was about to shed tears of jealousy, how many ancient books can be exchanged for just picking up a few pockets!

"Hey hey, besides these gold and silver jewels! We still have a big business deal, please ask Your Highness to make a deal in the future!"

Everyone was puzzled, and from the pile of gems, they gave Yuan Wenwu a little attention.

After Yuan Wenwu finished speaking, he ran back to the brothers' bedroom and brought out six pots of orchid grass.

Among the more than 1000 orchid plants in these six pots, the flowers that bloomed are the most graceful and the smell is the best.

After a night in the greenhouse in Bofu, the young leaves finally stretched a little.

"These orchids were dug by my own hands. Let me tell you, the smell is so good!"

"I dug more than 1000 plants, and there are more than 100 varieties. They are the only ones in the Great Xia Dynasty. Now they are all placed in the flower room of our mansion. We discussed this way. Didn't the Duobao Pavilion auction porcelain before?" And a house? Before the orchids bloom, let's hold an auction, and worry about not selling at a high price?"

"In terms of business, in the whole Daxia, my brother only obeys Uncle Zhongqin, and now there is another one, sixth brother! Your idea is great! Your Highness, what do you think?" Gao Qianli rubbed his hands, more than 1000 plants, maybe , It can be sold for dozens or even millions of silver!

"Well, after taking these six pots back to send to mother, the matter of Zhenbao Pavilion is not a big problem!" The prince happily took over the job.

The brothers cheered, and caught three younger brothers, and told about their experiences along the way.

Different from the perspective of adults, the experience of going to sea in the eyes of the three has its own fun.

Think of them as the aborigines who are messengers of the gods, beautiful cloaks made of more than 1000 bird feathers, and roundworms laid by peppercorns for aboriginal dolls.

Delicious fruits and vegetables from the Inca Empire, especially the tomatoes and strawberries mentioned by Yuan Wenjie, when the taste is described, everyone's mouth is sour.

What?The black natives who don't have any clothes, there are gold mines and gems in the soil under their feet?
The big cannibal actually eats camel meat, not pork!But their king doesn't even have an ice basin to use, and it's summer all year round, how hot is that?
When they know that there is an island country that can be called the jewel kingdom, they are all drooling!Damn, they want to go too!

There are also robbers who shamelessly came to snatch their goods. Mr. Gao is so powerful that he was able to kill them.

Ah? Tens of thousands of pirates!These guys actually dare to take the idea of ​​​​their Great Xia Navy?Kill without complaint!My big summer navy is mighty!
