Feng An left, taking a copy of the map and two boxes from Qin Wangzhuang.
On the same day, he bid farewell to Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and left his two legitimate sons in Chang'an. Feng An's team was divided into two. Feng An took the front team with light chariots and simple followers and headed for Lingnan. The other team was led by Feng An's family.
The brothers led the team, purchased countless supplies, walked along the river, and expected to return to Lingnan in four months.
On the day Feng An left, Li Er came to Qin Wangzhuang in person.
"What did Wu Lang promise Feng An?" Li Er asked seemingly casually, but if he wasn't in a hurry, why would he come here?
"Brother, are you interested in eating hot pot? The weather is cold. Let's eat some hot pot and drink some soju!" Li Yuanxing said with a relaxed look on his face.
Li Er shook his head helplessly: "Either you cheated Feng An, or you cheated my brother!"
"Actually, it was you who tricked me!" Li Yuanxing looked helpless: "I'm poor, the emperor wants money. Feng An also wants it, and everyone in the world wants to dig some treasures from the Qin Palace. I don't think of any way to earn some money.
"Brother, I only have to spend my mother-in-law's money, what do you think I should do?" The expression on Li Yuanxing's face really looked like a pitiful man.
Li Er was stunned by Li Yuanxing's rhetorical question.
Then he laughed, reached out and patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder, and entered the small living room a few steps ahead of Li Yuanxing.
It was still that documentary, or that video. Li Er's heart was really grabbed by the powerful Roman Empire Legion.
"A place where silk and gold are the same price." Li Yuanxing explained.
"A powerful empire!" Li Er's praise came from the bottom of his heart. The power of the Roman Empire, the mythical Colosseum, and the gorgeous city of Rome, each of them deeply touched Li Er's heart.
Li Yuanxing poured wine for Li Er: "Brother, don't worry, they may be able to fight back in a thousand years, but now they can't. Only we can fight them."
"You laid a trap for Feng An!"
"It may not be a trap. Things naturally have two sides. I promised them that if they have enough merit, they can be crowned kings with different surnames. But have you ever thought about how far Lingnan is from Chang'an? Is it something we can control now?
?A powerful enemy from outside forced Feng An to rely on the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er took a sip of wine and slapped his face hard on the table: "Gao Ming, Wu Lang Gao Ming!"
"Make the emperor laugh!"
"No, Wu Lang is smart. When Feng An comes to visit, if you don't make a decision immediately, but discuss it with your brother afterwards, your credibility will not be so high. With a potentially powerful enemy, Feng An can't not worry about it
Go up, and it’s a real alien race, so Lingnan is safe!”
Li Er laughed happily.
"Actually, after ten years of Lingnan, the Tang Dynasty will be able to directly control it, and Feng An's navy can be used as the vanguard to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It won't be a big deal to grant a king with a different surname. Moreover, in the past few years, Lingnan specialties have
, enough for him to make a fortune, and also for my brother to make a fortune."
Li Yuanxing poured himself a glass and continued: "Actually, if you say it's a lie, it's a lie. If you say it's not, it doesn't count!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Whether he is lying or not, it is almost a miracle that a few lies can stabilize Feng Ang.
Feng Ang is on his way. He has to rush back to Lingnan before spring. The first batch of medicinal materials will be on board in April, and then a batch of goods will be shipped back from Chang'an before winter.
The enemy Li Yuanxing mentioned was that he believed that there were people on the other side of the vast sea, and Feng Ang was convinced of this. Even if the opponent didn't come over, Feng Ang wanted to fight over.
Li Yuanxing did not say what kind of meritorious service would qualify him for the title of king.
But the merits of opening up a territory and expanding the territory are the merits that can lead to the title of king, the formation of a fleet and the construction of warships.
And there is another thing that Feng An is more interested in.
Li Yuanxing gave Feng An 200 kilograms of seeds, as well as a picture book with planting instructions, as well as later maintenance and the real treasure of this thing. Especially the weeping white sap. Li Yuanxing told Feng An that this thing can only be found in Qiongzhou.
It can be planted, and the annual income is a hundred times that of growing grain.
Five years later, Datang's demand for this rubber will exceed one hundred thousand kilograms.
In Qinwangzhuang, Feng Ang saw a wheel. The black, soft wheel walked steadily on the flat artificial stone road.
For planting, rubber trees must be planted in a large area in Qiongzhou in the beginning of spring. Then, they will be pruned and planted continuously to expand the planting area.
In less than three years, it will be large-scale. In five years, it will be Qiongzhou's cornucopia.
Therefore, Feng Ang believed in Li Yuanxing.
When it comes to the Roman Empire, Feng An really doesn't care whether they can defeat it or not. If you dare to come over, fight. If you don't come over and train my fleet, it's hard to say whether I will be able to overcome it.
It is a pity that Li Yuanxing did not give Feng Anhai a map. He did not know how far his Guangzhou city was from Rome.
But Li Yuanxing let Feng Ang know that the Kunlun slaves in Chang'an were actually slaves captured by the Roman Empire.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Yuanxing said again: "Brother Emperor, in fact, the matter of the Roman Empire not only put a kind of pressure on Feng Ang, but more importantly, it allowed the treasury to make some money."
"How do you say this?"
"Businessmen of the Tang Dynasty all know that there is a Dashi and a Da Qin, which are the biggest buyers of the Silk Road. The more powerful there is, the stronger the desire of the merchants. The Qin Dynasty, that is, the Roman Empire is already at the end of the road, and they are close to destruction.
It’s not far, but Dashi’s real name is the Arabs, and they are the enemy!”
Li Er understood. This rumor would spread from Cui Yingying's mouth, and then the amount of silk exported by the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions would definitely increase.
The national treasury will receive a large amount of tax revenue in a short period of time.
"Goro, this is a way to quench thirst with a dove. Silk production has increased, but what will happen in ten years?"
"Brother Emperor, look at what the people are wearing. After the people become rich, don't the people of the Tang Dynasty need clothing materials? Brother Emperor, do you think that how much silk is needed for each person of the Tang Dynasty to wear silk clothes?"
Li Yuanxing is very confident.
Wealth, Li Er agrees with this statement. It seems that Li Yuanxing deceived people twice with one lie.
"That big cannibal of Wulang is a great enemy. How can he be so powerful?"
Li Yuanxing hesitated, wondering if it was too early to mention this. Li Er was not in a hurry, slowly drinking wine and eating hot pot, waiting for Li Yuanxing's answer.
"Brother Emperor, within ten years, their territory will be five times that of the Tang Dynasty now."
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he originally thought that Li Er would be a little moved, but Li Er was as calm as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him, and he still tasted the wine slowly.
Is Li Er nervous?
In ten years, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty in ten years? Judging from the present, the changes in the Tang Dynasty will be huge. After ten years, what will happen even if there is a war?
Li Yuanxing also talked about war: "Brother Emperor, when two super empires fight, the winner will be at the top, and the loser will be in decline. Our generation is not afraid. But we are afraid that a hundred years later, the descendants of the Tang Dynasty will not
Live up to your expectations!”
"Joke!" Li Er snorted coldly.
Li Yuanxing shut up and poured himself some wine. Since Li Er opened his mouth, it was Li Er who continued.
"In my brother's and Wulang's lifetime, we must first cripple this big food, or even eliminate them. We don't have to wait for the trouble a hundred years later. If we go west ten thousand miles, Wulang's road will be built, and our powerful army of the Tang Dynasty can kill them in half a month.
When faced with a powerful enemy, we naturally have to fight and destroy the powerful enemy to show the might of the Tang Dynasty!"
In Li Er's mind, Datang was number one in the world.
The Turks, who were once aloof, have been trampled under their feet. Only by trampling all the powerful enemies under their feet can the power of the Tang Dynasty be shown. After the Turks, the first target is Goguryeo!
Li Yuanxing made a five-year plan, and Li Erxin planned to destroy Goguryeo in seven years.
While Li Er and Li Yuanxing were discussing the country's plans, Cui Yingying, who was going back to her parents' home to visit relatives, was describing the Roman Empire she saw, the gorgeous country with countless gold, the giant statues made of gold, where
Silk from the Tang Dynasty was more valuable than gold.
It takes twice the weight of silk in gold to buy silk that truly comes from the Tang Dynasty.
"The price of Rainbow Cotton is more than this, at least four times or even five times that of gold!" Cui Junsu said confidently. Then he asked a direct nephew of the family: "What happened to Yun Jin?"
"It will take at least June to produce the first one. It's the same for everyone. The Qin Prince's Mansion couldn't get the raw materials together. They gave us a list of raw materials. Most of them have never been heard of. The only one who can get the raw materials right now is
Bright yellow!”
It's bright yellow, which means it doesn't exist.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only five people who could use bright yellow silk, and one of them seemed to prefer simple white. The other four had their whole bodies covered, and they couldn't sell much fabric.
Not only the Cui family, but also the Seventh Family are desperately trying to get more rewards from the Western Regions.
And on this day, a group of envoys came from the Western Regions. The envoys of the Western Turkic Khan came to Chang'an City.
People in the Tang Dynasty did not know anything about this group of envoys.
On the third day after Li Er personally visited Qin Wangzhuang, Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, hosted a banquet in the newly completed Tiance Admiral's Mansion.
There is King Yiwu!
For this banquet, the royal chef was dispatched from the palace. It was mainly a banquet with various meat dishes and a large amount of strong liquor.
The two Qin Prince's palace chiefs who were accompanying him were not really interested in these fatty meats. On the contrary, a plate of green vegetables in winter was more tempting.
"I have received several pieces of land. They were all poor people at first. I have exchanged their old houses for the houses in Qinwangzhuang!" Li Yuanxing said after making a toast.
Land! Is the land in Chang'an City related to the envoys?
Li Yuanxing continued: "I am going to open a consulate!"
What is a consulate? It’s a brand new term, and everyone here has only confusion on their faces! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
