Feng An is a smart man. He would not dare to hold such a huge ship in his hands. This thing is a huge killer.
In other words, there are up to three such giant ships, and they have a huge deterrent effect near the coast. Some people will even speak out in the court if they want to rebel.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "At this time, apart from Mr. Feng, I am not the second choice. I have already sent people to teach Mr. Ling about naval knowledge, and I am planning to let him board the ship in person to learn in the field after a while. This huge ship
Unlike a small ship, personnel in every position on the ship need to be trained early!”
"Your Highness!"
Feng Ang's tone became more serious, and he was filled with emotion.
Initially, his subordinates asked him to proclaim himself king and dominate Lingnan.
Li Yuanxing destroyed Pyongyang in one day, leaving his subordinates with no hope of independence.
And Li Yuanxing's trust in him far exceeded Feng An's imagination. Could it be that he really gained such great trust based on his Feng family motto?
Feng An didn't believe it.
It can only be said that His Highness the King of Qin is a magnanimous person.
"Build, build two at the same time. If you don't have enough money, come to me and I will help you solve it. There are other ways to make money in Lingnan. Unfortunately, there are too few coal-producing places here and there are no decent coal mines. Otherwise,
Glass can be made in large quantities." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he nodded to Lu Maofeng.
Lu Maofeng called his men to come down and bring up three round iron cylinders.
"This thing is called canned food! It is military food, but if you are traveling far away. For example, if a ship is out at sea for ten and a half months, food is not easy to preserve, so this thing becomes precious." After Li Yuanxing said this, he motioned to Lu Maofeng to open it.
Using a special knife to open cans, Lu Maofeng opened the tin can in a few clicks.
"This one is braised pork, one of the military's favorite delicacies. This one is canned vegetables, pickled vegetables. The last one is canned fruit, using loquats." Li Yuanxing turned over to look at the date on it, but couldn't find it.
Lu Maofeng said: "Your Highness, I received these loquats from Yaozhou in mid-to-late April. The nearest canned fruit is pears. I'm afraid these loquats are only available in the military warehouse!"
Loquats bloom last year and bear fruit the following year. Generally, they can be eaten in early April in the lunar calendar.
Feng An is not a commoner, he knows many fruits.
After tasting a loquat, I praised it: "It's still very fresh even after soaking in sugar water."
"Do you have a lot of Lingnan fruits?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
"There are so many of them, even if they are not specifically planted, they are all over the mountains and plains!" Feng Ang responded with a smile.
"This is low-grade fine steel, very thin, but it is very practical for making cans. I will have the machine shipped to you, and then there is the white steel sheet. You can roll it and seal it here by yourself. All you need is
We will also send someone to teach you the craftsmanship. You can also pack fruits and fish, especially in winter, the profit will not be small."
Feng An was very tempted by Li Yuanxing's proposal, which was another huge profit.
However, Lingnan Changshi asked: "Your Highness, if foreigners buy it, they will melt these tubes of inferior fine steel and turn them into weapons!"
"Don't be afraid. The Tang Dynasty has a lot of steel. One hundred thousand steel knives are no longer a threat to the Tang Dynasty. But Feng Gong is concerned about the education of the various ethnic groups here. My suggestion is to let them return to their original focus.
.Use them and give enough rewards so that some people will get rich first, and the rest will slowly return to their heart."
Feng Ang recognized Li Yuanxing's words.
Feng Ang has been dealing with these southern barbarians for decades, and he knows how to put them at ease.
Li Yuanxing approached Feng Ang and whispered: "Regarding the matter of Baiyue, Feng Gong will make a plan. If we expand the territory by 500 miles, I will protect your prince with a different surname. If we expand the territory by 2,000 miles, I will protect you by a prince."
"Baiyue... will be destroyed!" Feng Ang was full of confidence.
Not to mention the promise of becoming a king, Feng An dared to say that Bai Yue would look good just with that giant ship and those barbarian soldiers in the mountains and forests of Guangxi.
When fighting in ancient times, the first thing to talk about is morale, the second thing is about the art of war, the third thing about ordnance, the fourth thing about military formations, and the fifth thing about numbers.
In the Tang Dynasty, military merit rewards were abundant, and the morale of the sergeants was high.
In modern terms, that is a level of morale that is beyond the limit. If you say not to let which army go into battle, I am afraid that that army from generals to soldiers will come and cause trouble. The Tang Dynasty even canceled the trapping camps of slaves and death row prisoners.
Because the Tang army didn't even give the slave camp a chance to charge.
After the official conversation was over, Feng An said to the Lingnan chief official: "Go down, His Highness the King of Qin is in Lingnan. He is a first-class distinguished guest!"
"Mr. Feng!" Li Yuanxing interrupted Feng Ang's order.
Feng Ang was puzzled.
"Mr. Feng is like this. I am happy to have my princess. I am afraid that she has been pregnant for three months. I have long wanted to go back. But the things at hand always have to be dealt with. It is not an exaggeration to say that my return is as fast as an arrow. So in
There’s no need to make any fuss here. You must try Lingnan cuisine, but you can only stay here for one day at most!”
"Your Highness will not keep it, and I understand. But your Highness will never refuse the gift."
Feng An was half a local emperor in Lingnan. Even if he used public property to give gifts, Chang'an would have nothing to say. If he wanted to give a gift, it must be something extremely valuable here in Lingnan.
Although he didn't know what it was, Li Yuanxing didn't doubt Feng Ang's sincerity.
"Well, I accept Mr. Feng's wish. Then I will ask for something, which will trouble Mr. Feng."
"Whatever your Highness wants, just ask!"
Li Yuanxing didn’t even know what these things were called in the Tang Dynasty!
He took out his tablet computer and showed the pictures to Feng Ang. Feng Ang must have known a thing or two about these things since he had been in Lingnan for many years.
Lychees, bananas, papayas, and pineapples are the four famous fruits of Lingnan in later generations. Even in the Tang Dynasty, they were not cultivated artificially, but there were also wild ones. Mango, red orange, and dragon fruit were all liked by Li Yuanxing. These things were popular in the Tang Dynasty.
It is impossible to transport it to Chang'an.
Many fresh fruits from Lingnan were transported three thousand miles to Chang'an, but before they reached Chang'an, they were all spoiled on the way.
In order to eat lychees, Concubine Yang exhausted so many horses and people.
"Mr. Feng, the fruits from Lingnan are of the highest quality. If you can't cultivate them artificially, you can send them to Chang'an to teach me. These things will be transported to Chang'an by flying boat in the future. At least they will be profitable for transporting money. This time, I am selfish.
Yes, I just want the princess to have a taste of something new, but I’m bothering Mr. Feng.”
"Your Highness, why bother?" Feng Ang immediately ordered and sent Chang Shi to personally take charge of sending people to look for him.
These things are available on the mountain. You need to have them in quantity and then pick them up and transport them.
Li Yuanxing waved to Lu Maofeng at this time, and when Lu Maofeng approached, he whispered:
"You go back to the flying boat and ask Princess Yan to let out her piece of jadeite. Then let Yu Zhen'er handle it a little bit so that people can see the treasure inside, and then send it over."
Lu Maofeng hurried back to the flying boat.
Feng An seemed to have heard that Li Yuanxing wanted to give him a gift, but he didn't know what it was, but it was hard to ask.
During the banquet, everyone was present, and Li Yuanxing was also drunk, so he rested in Feng Ang's house that night.
Lu Maofeng returned to the flying boat. Wang Yuyan was still attending the banquet at Feng Ang's house. He couldn't go directly to the princess's room. Finally, he called the personal guards and asked Yu Zhen'er to pick a piece from them.
Start polishing.
This is just rough grinding, grinding off the excess stones on the outside to reveal the jadeite.
In the early morning of the next day, Feng An asked people to carry the basket, so he naturally saw Li Yuanxing off in person.
Lu Maofeng got off the flying boat sweating profusely, and then Li Yuanxing remembered what he had arranged for Lu Maofeng.
There wasn't even a box, just a piece of cloth wrapped in it.
"Your Highness, we have made a rough grinding all night, and there is nothing on the ship that we dare not polish anymore. The grade given by Wang Yushi is Bingbo grade." Lu Maofeng opened the handkerchief in front of Li Yuanxing, and with just one glance, Feng An was
I'm completely attracted to it. This is just a kind of woolen material, but the grade of this jade is too good to describe.
As a Han Chinese, Feng An also had an almost crazy obsession with jade.
The piece of jade on his body was handed down from the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty.
"This is jadeite, which I call jadeite. If divided into seven and thirty-nine grades, this is a good item that is infinitely close to the highest level. I do have the best piece. I will take it back to my brother this time. Next time
There must be a piece for Mr. Feng." Li Yuanxing said, and asked Lu Maofeng to use a thin hemp rope to hang up the jadeite that was as big as two eggs.
An agate rod that Li Yuanxing had prepared long ago tapped lightly on the jade that had been cleared of impurities.
The clearer and more melodious it is, as beautiful as the sound of wind chimes!
Feng Ang couldn't help but be fascinated by what he heard.
"The sound of the truly polished finished product should be better. Mr. Feng reluctantly accepted this piece. Within half a year, there will definitely be a piece of top-quality imperial green glass left for Mr. Feng!"
Feng Ang shook his head heavily and stared at the piece hanging on Lu Maofeng's hand.
"Jade is the essence of heaven and earth. In ancient times, the King of Qin was willing to cut off several cities for a jade wall, and the two countries fought for several years for a jade wall. Today, God has given jade, and Feng is content. He is so greedy that heaven and earth abandon it, and God sends it! Even if it is not
Then there are jade craftsmen who polish it, and with this piece alone, Feng is content and contented!" Feng Ang's tone didn't sound like a joke, but was more serious.
Just as Yu Zhen'er said, Li Yuanxing underestimated the views of the Chang'an nobles.
It is very close to the gem-grade jade of the glazed type. If this thing was placed in the Warring States Period, it would probably be enough to cause a battlefield. In Feng Ang's heart, this piece of jade is already priceless and a rare treasure in the world.
Speaking of this, what else can Li Yuanxing say.
He handed this piece to Feng An with both hands, and Feng An carefully took it with both hands. He really couldn't put it down.
The cargo on the flying boat over there has been weighed. A large amount of silk, Hangzhou's famous product Feng An didn't even glance at it. Compared with this small piece of stone, those are just a foil.
"Feng Gong, within half a year, I will give you another gift! Farewell!" Li Yuanxing and Feng An exchanged greetings. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
