A whole month has passed since those weird natives came to this port a month ago. The strong native warrior wearing Tang Dynasty armor, with leather armor all over his body, came to this port again.
He was still the same wizard, now he gave him the name Ji Wuya.
The ancient relics here in the Tang Dynasty, the pottery, stone tools, and bronze inscriptions and bone inscriptions all convinced him that this was the land of their ancestors. Since they were a family, there was nothing wrong with pursuing a higher civilization.
Thirty-eight wizards remained. They defined themselves in Chinese as elders, not wizards. In the Tang Dynasty, they exchanged all possible knowledge with the wise men of the Tang Dynasty such as culture, arithmetic, astronomy and so on.
The two wizards took Datang's fleet home.
Conquer the American continent!
At the same time, he also carried a gold-encrusted canonization: King Tikal of the Tang Dynasty. This was the king he brought back to him, the City of Sounds, the canonization order of the Two Birds, from the King of Kings, Gods in the World
The official canonization given by the messenger is the orthodoxy given by God.
Of course, there is also a Tikal-collared, silver-embroidered authorization document from the elder with his Chinese name.
With a 100,000-ton, super luxurious fleet, whenever the Tang Dynasty got some opportunities, they would send outstanding members of the family to travel. Those with ships would naturally send big ships, and those without ships would also get on the ships to accompany them.
The goods prepared range from food, clothing, daily necessities, to wine, meat, canned food, biscuits, etc.
Is it more than 100,000 tons?
After a month of sailing, these people arrived at the Port of the Stars in South America.
One hundred thousand tons of goods, not to mention the entire American continent, only for the Mayan city-states in Central America, only enriched the lives of two million people, and it cannot be regarded as extremely rich materials.
When the ship docked, an old man who was the first to get off the ship fainted on the spot.
A pure mahogany port, the main beams alone use twelve huge mahogany trees with a diameter of four feet. You must know that trees like mahogany are hardwoods and grow very slowly. They are so thick and have no holes. In Southeast Asia,
There is no guarantee that you will be able to find one in the first half of the year. This is just the port, and only twelve of them are used, and each one is more than five feet high.
Li Yuanxing was sitting in his small house, an exquisite study made of pure sandalwood.
Sipping the most original coffee and eating freshly baked snacks, Qiuxiang next to her was calculating accounts for Li Yuanxing. A certain city-state in the south surrendered and presented so many gifts, including dozens of tons of gold alone. This does not include South America.
Crystals, jade and other precious things. And thousands of strong slaves.
Guests came to the port, and the original nineteen city-states, plus Li Yuanxing's Star Port, were jointly named the Twenty Star Cities.
Naturally, they have to send wizards with extremely high positions to greet the guests.
When I see wizards of my own race wearing the majestic Tang leather armor, I feel even more relieved.
From a moral perspective, the Mayans are not greedy. Although some things they do are cruel, such as using human sacrifices, it can only be said to be such a custom.
Seeing that their fellow tribesmen have very good clothing materials, they believe that they will also have it.
There were only two golden scrolls brought this time, one for the King of Two Birds and one for the King of Leaders. The rest were just claimed to be still in the Tang Dynasty and would be brought back when the wizards from their respective city-states came back. Of course,
You can go to Datang in person.
These two wizards talked about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the mystery of the Tang Dynasty, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and the hospitality of the Tang Dynasty.
More importantly, they saw the antiquities of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Li Yuanxing did not attend the evening banquet. Cigarettes and wine were items used by the Mayans to entertain distinguished guests. Of course, the amount of wine increased because of Li Yuanxing's appearance.
The next day, the big shots gathered around Li Yuanxing's mahogany palace at the port.
"The city-state of South Inca, Kakalu and Clark Mia!" Li Yuanxing said in Chinese. Naturally, someone spread the word in this language, and the king of that city-state was also sitting here. Hearing the mention of them, he immediately stood up. Li Yuanxing
Then he continued to talk: "Weizhou Zhang family! It is very hard for Gongjin to guard the border, but it also means that your Zhang family is capable. South India is adding cards..."
The name of this city-state is really confusing, and Li Yuanxing had to look down at the note halfway through reading it.
The representative of the Zhang family quickly took notes.
The similarities between the Mayans and the Chinese are that they used hair to make pens and bark to make paper. This is very similar.
"Help them, and within two years the food supply will increase tenfold, and the people's disposable daily necessities will increase tenfold. The amount for the nobles will be twenty to fifty times. King Kaka's gift of gold alone is dozens of tons. If he can offer a share, I will
The king will let them get two shares and increase his wealth a hundred times."
The Zhang family is not worried about how to increase their wealth.
He only walked less than ten miles inland from the seaport, and found a continuous virgin forest with trees that were bigger than he imagined.
And right near Li Yuanxing, the Port of Stars, less than five miles away, there is a gem mine exposed on the surface of the earth. No one digs it at all. It is impossible for His Highness King Qin not to know about it, but he just does not take these gems seriously.
thing.
"It's written in black and white!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he nodded slightly.
Mayan writing is too primitive. Chinese characters originally had the same root as Mayan writing. The Mayans quickly accepted Chinese characters. They all used brushes to write, and they also accepted Chinese calligraphy.
A scribe whose regular script was recognized by the nineteen kings was responsible for writing the agreement on the silk scroll.
The agreement between the Zhang family and King Kaka of Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty was then carved into a stone tablet and placed in front of the Star Temple to be blessed by the gods.
It sounds like a myth.
Under the threat of the twenty-state federal army, King Kaka chose to surrender in order to prevent all his city-states from being turned into slaves and his family to be killed. He also offered all his wealth in order to
Self-preservation.
But what was given to him here was to give his city-state ten times the income.
Is it possible? Ten times the income is not as simple as a promise. Is it doubt or trust?
Can the lofty King of the Stars really bring the income of ten people to his city-state?
"I believe that many people have doubts. Then, we will let the truth be verified." Li Yuanxing saw the doubts in the eyes of those surrendered city-states.
The big boat picked up these people and headed south for more than 200 miles.
Transforming the fields, utilizing the original water conservancy, coupled with the farming and fertilizer technology of the Tang Dynasty. With detailed explanations, the Incas believed that food production could be doubled, and with the newly opened land, the total food volume would increase.
Twice is no problem, but ten times is still far from it.
On the mountain, Li Yuanxing found native cocoa and coffee!
"If you grow these, you can sell a pound of cocoa in Chang'an for at least 1,000 yuan." Li Yuanxing took out a piece of chocolate: "Don't tell me, you don't know what this is?"
Black candies are only available in Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an, and the quantity is so small that not many people have even seen it.
But just because you haven’t eaten it doesn’t mean you haven’t heard of it.
"It is made from this fruit. The biggest feature is that it is stronger than caramel. For a sergeant to run long distances with a heavy load, eating this fruit can be several times stronger than eating caramel. Of course, the deliciousness is not just that." Li Yuanxing laughed.
After finishing speaking, he said to Qiuxiang: "Qiuxiang, tell them what to do."
Li Yuanxing has been here for a month.
Naturally, chocolate and coffee have been processed a lot, and there are a lot of wild raw materials here.
Cocoa is a fruit that grows on tree trunks and is larger than the size of a papaya. After being cut open, it turns out to be cocoa beans. Qiuxiang has learned to distinguish between mature and immature ones. King Kaka found hundreds of female slaves and asked them to
Work under the command of Qiuxiang.
Compared to cocoa trees, there are much fewer coffee trees in South America.
Coffee is native to Africa and was monopolized by the Arabs before the fifteenth century.
It is also found in South America. The varieties are different from those in Africa, and the taste is naturally different. The quantity is much less than that of cocoa. But this is only relative to the cocoa tree.
It's not a problem to find hundreds of plants at random.
While Qiuxiang was directing the cocoa harvesting, Li Yuanxing personally asked someone to bring an iron pot and fry the coffee beans.
Snow sugar and milk powder are available on board.
Li Yuanxing gave the first cup to the King of Leaders: "I had a party last night, I'm afraid I'm feeling tired now!"
When Li Yuanxing suddenly said this, the King of Leaders really felt a little sleepy, but it was a big event right now, and he would definitely support it. His current identity was the nominal spokesperson of the Twenty City-States.
After drinking a cup of coffee that was barely fragrant and inferior to modern coffee by more than ten blocks, the eyes of the boss king lit up.
"If you drink a few more cups, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night. This thing will make people feel excited and have a feverish feeling. It is harmless to the body and is a very interesting drink. I prefer tea.
But Princess Mingyue likes this very much, and with the baked snacks, she enjoys the afternoon lazily!"
Li Yuanxing distributed the rest to everyone.
"This is called coffee. If you grow this, the yield of one acre of land can be exchanged for twenty acres of grain, at least!" Li Yuanxing gave a positive statement.
No one has ever doubted Li Yuanxing's words.
It didn't happen before, and it doesn't happen this time either.
"Tea, coffee, and cocoa can be called the three major beverages in the world. Even if we Chinese people prefer tea, it's good to change our tastes in our spare time. But what's more, tea itself can no longer meet the needs of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
If we continue to engage in overseas trade, even if Datang continues to plant tea trees in the next five years, it will not be able to keep up."
Everyone nodded, this was absolutely correct.
Drinking this kind of stuff will have an obvious stimulating effect.
His Highness the King of Qin said that there are no side effects, so there must be no side effects. No one doubts this.
Li Yuanxing's tone changed and he added: "Of course, King Kaka's warriors can also fight. Even if they don't fight, they can still get enough wealth by guarding the trade routes. What do you think? King Kaka!"
