Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 92 Introduction to Colonization

"It's getting late, so I won't keep you here. It's not too late to donate after you think about it," Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they left one after another. Feng Daiwen got up to send everyone away, turned around and looked at the few people left in the hall and asked doubtfully, "What else can you do?"

There were still four people left in the hall. The four of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other. The oldest person said, "Master, I'm going to the Lu family, Lu Qi. Let me introduce you. These are Qinghe Cui family members. Cui Ping, Cui Tao from the Cui family in Boling, Zheng Yong from the Zheng family in Xingyang, "

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you," Feng Daiwen said in surprise to several people.

"Hou Ye is polite," several people hurriedly got up to return the greeting.

"I'm a warrior, and I speak directly, so don't be surprised. I don't know what is the important thing for you to stay?" Feng Daiwen asked directly after the ceremony.

"Master Hou, let me just say it directly, our Lu family is willing to obey the imperial court's order, replace the family land, and guard the frontier for my Great Tang Mu. I also ask Lord Hou to point out a way to make money so that the family will not decline." Lu Qi glanced at it. The other three said without hesitation.

"Master Hou, this is already the intention in the next family." Cui Ping and Zheng Yong also stood up and clasped their fists and said.

"What's the matter with Mr. Cui?" Feng Daiwen asked Cui Tao without answering the three of them.

"Master Hou, my father heard that Bogutang needs ancient books, so he deliberately took out a large number of precious ancient books and fragments from the family, and donated another 10 coins to support the construction of Bogutang." Cui Tao glanced at the other three with contempt. said the man.In Cui Tao's view, it's really stupid for several families to abandon their ancestral foundations just for a way of making money, and the books donated and transcribed by themselves can be exchanged for a lot of merit with a little property, and they can get more books. It is a long-term solution.

"In this case, I would like to thank Patriarch Cui. The Cui family donated so much. I must report to the sage to show my merits. I have to ask Mr. Cui and Mr. Wei to go and register," Feng Daiwen said to Cui Tao with a smile.After speaking, he turned his head and gave Wei Zheng a look.

Wei Zheng immediately understood, and smiled at Cui Tao: "Cui Sanlang and the old man, come, it's been a long time since I saw Patriarch Cui."

Cui Tao was flattered and quickly followed out.

The three looked at Cui Tao who left with complicated expressions, and they didn't know whether their family's choice was correct. The only thing they could understand was that it was calculated and discussed by the family's think tank.

Looking at the changing expressions of the three people, Feng Daiwen roughly understood their thoughts. After all, Li Shimin was a very powerful emperor, and his men were all elite soldiers and generals. Your family will not regret today's choice, as for how to arrange it, it needs to be decided by the saint."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, you have been looking at the little food in the land, and some other commodities are just to earn some money for the common people. Other businesses have risks. If you fail, you will be empty of talents. I don't know if I am right."

"What Hou Ye said is true, it is true, but everyone has lived like this for hundreds of years," Cui Ping said.

"But don't you feel reconciled? Firstly, no one is forcing you. Secondly, you will be rewarded if you pay. I always think that the combination of agriculture and commerce is the way to strengthen the country and enrich the family. Your family has no shortage of knowledge, but the Tang Dynasty is expanding. The land of foreign races It's not a barren land, it's just that it hasn't been discovered. You can't leave the places that have been hard-earned. It's better to let people of different races manage it. This is what the saints mean. If you don't go, I'm afraid there will be many people I still want to rush to go." Feng Daiwen said half-truthfully, half-falsely, unfolding the tricks.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, since our family has made the decision, we won't go back on our word. It's just that we are a bit reluctant to give up the inheritance left by our ancestors." Lu Qi said.

"I can understand that you have paid for the Tang Dynasty. No one dares to move the ancestral house. It is just some land. I am afraid you don't know how rich there is outside the Tang Dynasty. There are islands overseas, spices are inexhaustible, and there is another country. , There is a mountain of silver, with the power of the Tang Dynasty, it can be mined for a hundred years. Hmph, you don’t know that there are countless gold mines on the peninsula of Goguryeo and Baekje, and you don’t know that although it is cold there, the land is fertile. Come on, I don’t even know that there are countless gemstone mines in Tianzhu under Tubo, I’m afraid you can’t imagine that the continuous mountains are full of jade.” Feng Daiwen’s later generations are a blacksmith in his family, and he may not know much about others, but he has been working since he was a child. Learning to know about mines, I know many of the proven mines around the world, so I said temptingly like a devil.

"Hou, Hou, Lord Hou, you are not telling us a story, are you?" The three of them were drooling after being told by Feng Daiwen, their eyes opened like copper bells, and Zheng Yong stammered in disbelief.

"Why, don't you believe it? You will believe it in the future. After all, you still don't have the ability to mine it now," Feng Daiwen asked with a smile, without explaining. Although Feng Daiwen knew about domestic mines, he didn't plan to mine them. He should mine abroad first. The Central Plains is still left to future generations, and it is not very useful to take so much gold and silver now, and copper coins are still used now.

"Master Hou, we were too shocked today, and I can't calm down for a while, so I will leave first." Lu Qi, who was still the oldest, came back to his senses and said goodbye, and the other two also left, Feng Daiwen He didn't want to keep them, so he sent them out.

Not to mention the shock caused by how many people went home and told the family, Li Chengqian went back to the palace to report what he saw today to Li Shimin as usual, Li Shimin was accompanying Li Yuan for a meal, maybe Li Jiancheng committed suicide in this world, and Li Shimin didn't kill all his nephews Therefore, the relationship with Li Yuan is quite good. In recent years, Li Yuan has grown old, and Li Shimin often takes time to accompany him.

"What! A mountain of silver that cannot be dug out in a hundred years!" Li Shimin was so surprised that his chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Brother-in-law said that everyone in the Tang Dynasty would dig it out, and it would take a hundred years to dig it out. I don't know if it's true," Li Chengqian repeated Feng Daiwen's words.

"There are still continuous mountains full of jade?" Li Yuan asked excitedly, as if ten years younger.

"Yes, that's what my brother-in-law said, Grandpa Huang," Li Chengqian replied.

"Erlang, isn't this brat a liar?" Li Yuan still couldn't believe it and asked Li Shimin.

"Guo Wei should not deceive people with such things. Look at the pearls from Lingnan, they are sent to Chang'an in box after box. There are also wool, white paper, and cotton. This child knows a lot of things. They should be His master taught it." Li Shimin explained to Feng Daiwen.

"Yes, it's a pity that a generation of strange people failed to meet. It's just that this brat, why didn't he tell me that there are so many good things in the past." Li Yuan said indignantly.

"It should be that it's useless to say it. After all, we haven't been able to take down many places. I'm afraid it's because the father and I are like cousins. I have indeed become greedy just now." Li Shimin said with emotion.The cousin Li Shimin mentioned was Yang Guang.

"No, tomorrow I will ask in person. If the brat dares to lie to me, I will take care of him." Li Yuan also lost his appetite for dinner.

"Okay, I'll go with my father tomorrow." Li Shimin also said itchy.
