Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 98 The New Seed
From Huo Qubing to sealing the wolf and the Xuxu is the dream of every general in this life. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, everyone can't help being excited. "I will make a plan to go to Saint Chen as soon as possible." Li Jing said affirmatively.

"List out Weiguo's logistics needs, and the old man and Mr. Fang will help you prepare," Changsun Wuji also said in a state of well-being.

"Please, gentlemen, I will make a list as soon as possible, and please arrange for people to make cotton clothes," Feng Daiwen said to Changsun Wuji and the others.

"My palace will make arrangements." The eldest grandson also said seriously.

The people discussed until late at night before going back separately. Ta Luo, a businessman from the Western Regions, came to the Hou Mansion early the next morning.

"Sit down, Tarot seems to have gained a lot." Seeing that Tarot was so happy, Feng Daiwen invited him to sit down and talk.

"It's all thanks to Lord Hou's suggestion. The small ones gave up the white cloth business. I happened to meet a merchant from Tianzhu in the Western Regions who bought a large amount of Utz steel, and I specially sent it to Lord Hou." Feng Daiwen said: "There is no way to repay Lord Hou's kindness. This small knife was specially found for Lord Hou."

"So I'm not impolite." Feng Daiwen took the knife, very curious about this legendary Damascus knife, and future generations will not have the opportunity to appreciate it up close.This gem-studded waist knife is very gorgeous. When the blade is pulled out, the belt is curved and the jade handle is covered with forging patterns. I resisted trying my sharp heart with my own knife and put the knife aside. .

Seeing that Feng Daiwen just glanced at it and put it aside, Tarot thought it was a bit dissatisfied because he didn't know the benefits, "Master Hou, this knife is extremely sharp and hard, and it will break when ordinary weapons are cut."

"I know it, and I want to try it, but I'm afraid that this knife will be useless." Feng Daiwen said with a raised brow.

"Hey, Marquis, the smaller one has another one of the same material, but it's not as gorgeous," Tarot asked his entourage to bring his saber.

"Oh," Feng Daiwen became interested, took his own long knife, and also wanted to test whether it is the alloy of the later generations or the peak weapon of the ancient method, so he asked the guard to hold the waist knife, and swung the long knife himself, and the two knives collided suddenly With a sound of "Dang,," the waist knife snapped in two.

Feng Daiwen checked the long knife and found that there was no trace left behind. It seems that these weapons have been mutated during the time travel, otherwise it would be impossible to have no trace at all. He couldn't help laughing, and happily said to the weapon: "I have never given you any Choose a name, and I will call you Wuhen from now on."

Tarot looked at Feng Daiwen's weapons and couldn't help being stunned, thinking that Datang's weapons were so powerful that the steel ingots he bought with all his wealth were worthless, so he couldn't help but slumped on the ground with a dead face.

"What? It's just a knife," Feng Daiwen looked at Tarot in puzzlement and said.

"Master Hou, help me, I got all my wealth for steel ingots." Tarot came back to his senses and cried while hugging Feng Daiwen's thigh.

"Okay, I didn't say I won't give you the money. Let's see, I really don't have enough money. Porcelain, salt, tea, whatever you choose." Feng Daiwen thought that Tarot was worried that he would take him by force.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou, Lord Hou told me to find three kinds of food and vegetables that the Tang Dynasty did not have," Tarot stood up with tears of joy.

"Really, show me quickly." Feng Daiwen grabbed Tarot's arm and asked excitedly.

Tarot hurriedly asked someone to bring the things in, and introduced: "Your Majesty, these two kinds were grown by Tianzhu businessmen who settled in Kucha. This kind of bean is shaped like a scimitar, called sword bean. The seed is a kind of rattan plant. The green fruit is good to eat raw, the fruit is yellow when ripe, it is called cucumber, and the small one tastes mediocre.”

Feng Daiwen took two to watch, one was beans, and the other was really like cucumber seeds, and looked at the last one and exclaimed, "Pumpkin,"

"Uh, Lord Hou, this is something that a Daqin businessman brought on the road and didn't finish eating. They are called pumpkins, they can replenish water, and they can be stored for a long time," Tarot looked at Feng Daiwen and introduced.

"Okay, okay, Tarot, you have made a great contribution, and I will guarantee you a title when the Marquis successfully planted it," said Feng Daiwen, who didn't know the benefits of pumpkins, and patted Tarot on the shoulder happily.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou." Tarot prostrated himself on the ground happily, and made a big gift.

"Come on, wait for this Marquis to plant successfully and report your achievements to the saint. In the future, you should pay more attention to these, and bring back the seeds if you have them. This Marquis guarantees that you will get the goods at the lowest price, and give you priority. If you don't have enough money, you can buy them." I owe part of it on credit." Feng Daiwen supported Tarot with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, the young one must do his best for Lord Hou," Tarot said happily from ear to ear.

Feng Daiwen called his guards to count the steel ingots, and asked Tarot to choose the goods. He carefully took out all the seeds, and called Yaya to let her take care of them and dry them. After all, these things would not be planted until the beginning of spring.

"Second young master, what are these dishes?" Yaya asked.

"These are all good things, especially cucumbers and pumpkins. They can be planted in front of or behind houses regardless of the place. The taste is good and the yield is high. Let's just say that pumpkins can grow in sand. It can be used as food every year, and it can be stored for at least a few months, and the yield per mu is still high." Feng Daiwen happily explained to Yaya.

"Well, Yaya will definitely be optimistic about it, and I guarantee that not a single seed will be missing." The former beggar Yaya likes food the most, and every time she eats, she can't make her stomach full. Feng Daiwen said many times that she would change her No, let her do it, now that she heard Feng Daiwen say this, she quickly patted her chest, which was beginning to take shape, to assure her.

After Feng Daiwen finished processing the seeds, Cheng Chumo came in after dinner. "I haven't relaxed for a while and went to sleep very late, Brother Feng, forgive me." Yuchi Baolin smiled apologetically.

"My brothers, there are so many etiquettes there, you came just in time, and you happened to have something to do," Feng Daiwen patted Yuchi Baolin's arm and said.

"Brother Feng, what's the matter!" Cheng Chumo immediately asked with a straight face. Feng Daiwen's arrangements for them were really good. A trip to the Western Regions not only made a lot of money, but also made a lot of contributions. Looking at the same The former kid was still hanging out in Chang'an City, and he could rely on Feng Daiwen to make himself out of the way without relying on his father.

"Of course it's a good thing. This is a new thing in Lingnan. Take a look," Feng Daiwen said, taking out a bunch of clay pots.

"What is this?" Cheng Chumo asked as he looked at the jar that was blocked by wood.

"This is called canned food. There are fruits, meat, and fish. They are easy to make and can be stored for more than half a year. There are also these kinds of food called seaweed, kelp, and sea cabbage. They are all rare foods," Feng Daiwen introduced.

"The fruit can be kept for half a year?" Cheng Chumo took out a can of fruit that Feng Daiwen had opened and threw a piece into his mouth. His eyes lit up and he said, "This is a pear. It's so sweet." He opened his mouth and poured it into his mouth.

The corners of Feng Daiwen's mouth twitched while watching,
