Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 94
Today, Chang'an City is destined to be unable to calm down. The whole city has not yet recovered from the shock of Huangbang. A huge team came outside Yanping Gate. First, a team of cavalry from the Tang Dynasty, followed by a group of horse-drawn carriages. Cars, another carload of things entered Chang'an City, all you can see is a big sack full of sacks, a carload full of boxes, and a lot of boxes. At the end of the line is the Western Region caravan that you see every year. It is not surprising to the people of Chang'an.

"Isn't that the shopkeeper Liu from Dongshi? Why do you bring so many things, hundreds of two cars?" A passer-by said in surprise.

"That's right, isn't that Boss Chen from Chenji Buzhuang over there? Oh, this is a caravan from the Western Regions. Seeing how happy they are, they must have made a lot of money." Another person said.

"Can it be less? I used to use horses, but this time I used a carriage," said a businessman who didn't go.

It took the entire horse team more than half an hour to enter the city, disperse, and go back to each house. Although the merchants who came back from the Western Region looked tired, they were all smiling. After half a year away from home, they always returned with a full load.

Su Dingfang was completely relaxed. Apart from a few injured soldiers, only over 100 of the [-] elite soldiers died of illness. Now that he returned to Chang'an, he felt at ease, so he took people to the palace to return the order. Although he reported yesterday that he had a schedule, he still had to go there Going to hand in the order is considered to complete the task.

Not long after the Western Regions merchant group entered Chang'an City, a larger team came from outside Anhua. This team was very strange. They were transporting wood. The largest piece of wood was more than twenty feet long, wider than a carriage. , a total of fifteen flatbed carriages, more than 30 horses are pulling, and the smallest one is as thick as a person's arms.

"Is this going to build a palace? There are so many big trees," said a roadside onlooker.

"Yeah, there are more than 1000 of them. It's been an hour and I haven't seen the end yet," said a person next to him in surprise.

"No more. Look at the back, there are other goods. This is probably too much for him. They are almost the same as the caravans that traded with the Western Regions just now." This is a person who just passed by Yanping.

In Wude Palace, Li Shimin, who had just returned to the palace, was playing chess with Li Yuan.

"Erlang, Fei Ji and the others have worked hard without credit, so don't embarrass them too much." Li Yuan also knew that Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the few ministers, his ability was limited, and he was still in a high position.

"It's all according to my father's wishes. My father told them that I can always accompany my father if I ask for my resignation," Li Shimin said happily when he saw Li Yuan supporting him.

"Haha, okay, I will tell them," Li Yuan smiled happily seeing that Li Shimin still listened to him very much.

At this time, the eldest grandson came in with a strange expression, and saluted Li Yuan: "I have seen Father, Your Majesty."

"What's the matter with the queen?" Li Yuan asked when he saw his daughter-in-law's strange expression.

"Father, the guards came to report just now that the Feng family in Lingnan sent a large amount of wood to build the Princess Mansion in Guang'an, please Guang'an to choose the wood," said the eldest grandson.

"It's not surprising. It's not surprising that there is special wood in Lingnan, and there is no shortage of wood in other Guanzhong. What kind of wood does the Feng family get?" Li Shimin also asked strangely.

"The concubine asked the master builder just now. It is golden nanmu, rosewood, which is said to be immortal for a thousand years, and there is also a special scent, incense sandal, a blood-red mahogany. They are all high-quality wood." The eldest grandson Said.

"Haha, that's right, it's considered that the Feng family has a heart. My good granddaughter is beautiful and beautiful, so it should be more from his family," Li Yuan said with a happy smile.

"The key is that there are a lot of them, and they are so good that they stunned the master craftsmen of the household department." Changsun said.

"Many, how many are there? It's not surprising that Lingnan ships a lot more, just ask Guang'an to go to Yuan by himself." Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson curiously and said.

"It is said that there are more than 800 of them. The largest one is bigger and longer than the main beam of the Taiji Hall, and the smallest one needs to be embraced by people." The eldest grandson still can't believe it. You must know that Nanmu was brought from the middle of Sichuan. There are no big ones in Guanzhong, and you can only find them in the mountains. There are many red sandalwoods, but big ones are not common.Lingnan transported so much in one go, one can imagine how much manpower was spent.

"What's going on with the Feng family? They've wasted so much manpower. Call Guang'an and Zhen to take a look," Li Shimin said with a frown.

"Zhen and Erlang are going together," Li Yuan said with great interest.

At this time, Feng Daiwen stared at these huge trees in a daze. It is not easy to grow such a big tree. I am afraid that it will not be able to escape for at least a few thousand years. If there is no problem at all in changing one villa for another in later generations, although I know that Hainan huanghuali is precious, but only when I really see it is so big and beautiful, I will understand that it is really expensive.

Feng Daiwen asked the craftsman to break open a huanghuali, and saw that the texture was irregular, but never messy. The ink lines were pure and clear, with little contrast. All eyes are attracted.

"Beautiful, really beautiful," a group of craftsmen exclaimed.

"It's really beautiful. It's really strange that Hou Ye and the fifth son spent a few days in front of Mahai Island to choose so many. Only the sandalwood on this island is so beautiful," Taimu said.

"Where did the other trees come from?" Feng Daiwen asked suspiciously.

"The others are from all ethnic groups in Lingnan who heard that the second young master is going to marry the princess and needs good wood to make furniture, so they spontaneously selected them from their own clan. Second young master, look, all the trees given are marked with names, and some Other mountain products and sea products,” Taimu introduced.

"Fifth brother, can I return gifts from various ethnic groups?" Feng Daiwen asked Feng Daihuo.

"Second brother, Aye asked me to send a lot of salt, tea, and porcelain to the tribe." Feng Daihuo replied.

"That's good. Tomorrow, let the business groups from the Western Regions come to Fuchu for business. Let's go and see the seafood you brought." Feng Daiwen said.

Feng Daihuo led Feng Daiwen to a pile of huge wooden barrels and said, "Aye said he didn't know about those delicious ones, and he sent some of the ones he could catch."

Feng Daiwen looked at a few buckets, all of which were all kinds of sea fish, opened another bucket casually, took out a clam shell and looked at it carefully before recognizing it, "This is abalone? It's so big," Feng Daiwen laughed while holding the palm-sized abalone .

"Second brother, isn't this the one who raises pearls?" Feng Daihuo asked suspiciously.

"No, no, this is a rare treasure. It is a great tonic called abalone. If there are bear's paws on the mountain, the abalone in the sea is even more rare. It is not only delicious, but also has many medicinal effects. Let's see what else is behind it "Feng Daiwen became interested, and hurriedly opened other wooden barrels, which was indeed a big surprise. There was a bucket of big lobsters, weighing one or two kilos each, a bucket of crabs, and a bucket of sea cucumbers. There were also other unknown sea creatures. several barrels.

"Okay, okay, they are all good things, take them back, and call the elder brother, I will make something delicious for everyone today, hehe." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.
