The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 406 Sugarcane Field, Champa Kingdom, Spice Island

"Brother Li, what does this mean?"

Feng Zhidai looked at the hundreds of large boxes placed in front of his eyes, and at the neatly arranged copper coins inside, his expression was a little flustered, "Brother Yu has nothing to say about the expansion of the dock. You can't accept it, you can't accept it."

"Wharf?" Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Feng has already clearly rejected it, so how can I say more about it."

Relieved, Feng Zhidai hurriedly asked, "Then this is"

"Someone wants to buy some fields in the south of the Five Ridges, but time is tight and he is not familiar with the place, so I ask Brother Feng to do it for me."

"Oh." Feng Zhidai finally smiled, "It's not a big deal, brother Yu should help."

Li Yunze signaled, "I want paddy fields, at least [-] mu."

'Hiss~~~'

Feng Zhidai immediately stared, "This, this, this"

Paddy fields are high-quality fields, which have always been the guarantee of production, and of course they are also a good thing that everyone flocks to.

At this time, the degree of development in Lingnan was not high, and it was too much to require [-] mu of paddy fields at one go.

"Here is a copper coin of 50 guan." Li Yunze then signaled to Zhuang Ding of Li's Village who was accompanying him to open the smaller boxes on the side, revealing the gleaming gold bars inside. "This is gold worth a million guan."

"I'll offer you fifty pennies for an acre of paddy fields, and I hope Brother Feng will help you."

"This." Feng Zhidai smiled bitterly again and again, "It's okay to say less, but there are so many foolish brothers who really can't make the decision. You have to ask your father what he thinks."

"No problem." Li Yunze took Feng Zhidai's hand and went out to the yard, pointing to the strong Don horse in the yard. It belongs to Brother Feng."

The land of Lingnan lacks almost everything, but the most lacking must be tall horses.

When Feng Zhidai saw the majestic Don Hema, he was overjoyed immediately, "My dear brother, don't worry, I will do my best in this matter."

There was nothing much to say, Feng Zhidai hurried to find his old father for advice.

"Sell it to him." Feng An immediately made a decision, "Pick [-] mu from our Feng family's field and sell it to him."

"Father." Feng Zhidai, who had slapped his chest loudly in front of Li Yunze before, was puzzled and asked, "Why? Our family doesn't have many good fields. Besides, it's impossible for this person to buy fields. What a conspiracy."

"What are you thinking about?" Feng An scolded with a smile, "The field is just outside the city, looking at it right under our noses, what kind of conspiracy can there be, could it be that the Xuanjia army grows from the ground?"

"He paid such a high price, why didn't he sell it? And" Feng An's smile became even bigger when he said this, "no matter what he grows, he has to sell it here. If he wants to transport it to Jiangnan and Guanzhong, the shipping fee will be more How expensive is it? Let's press it again when the time comes

price"

Feng Zhidai instantly understood, "It's because he helps us plant the land, and then he has to sell us the harvest at a low price. If we can't bear the loss and then sell the land, we will make money twice. "

"His horse is quite good. You can get more horses with less wealth."

What Li Yunze paid was a high price, [-] cents per mu of land.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population was not so large, and the land was relatively rich, but the price had not risen, which was definitely high.

But in comparison, the price of a good horse in Lingnan is higher.

In Guanzhong, the price of an ordinary castrated horse is as high as more than [-] guan, and this price has at least doubled in Lingnan.

As for the Don horse provided by Li Yunze, it is obviously impossible to be a draft horse. This is a war horse that can really go into battle. After all, when he was in the Lijiazhuang Ranch, he was trained as a war horse.

Both Feng An and Feng Zhidai were very satisfied with the Don horses that came with the boat, and offered a super high price of 150 guan for each horse.

In Guanzhong, the price of a famous horse is around one hundred guan.

Li Yunze brought about [-] horses, all of which they rode all the way to Yangzhou City. After all, the fleet went south to transport other supplies, and it was difficult to sell them on a large scale in Lingnan.

The horses offset a large amount of money for the land purchase, but Li Yunze didn't take the saved money with him. Instead, he bought cattle and other supplies in the local area, and left it to the Li family village servants who were arranged here.

"After next year's harvest, I will have someone to replace you and return to Guanzhong." Li Yunze instructed the people who stayed behind, "Think of it as a business trip in the south of the Five Ridges, and everyone's salary will be tripled."

It's only a year, instead of settling in Lingnan for a long time, the people in Lijiazhuang are naturally willing to work. After all, the income is several times, and it is enough to marry a wife.

As for what Li Yunze was going to do when he bought the fields, it was naturally to transfer the sugarcane fields originally planted in Guanzhong to Lingnan.

After all, sugarcane is a sun-sun plant, and consumes a lot of water.

It is not suitable for Guanzhong, but it is very suitable for the banks of the Pearl River in Lingnan.

As for Feng An's plan to take advantage of it, how could Li Yunze give him a chance? Naturally, people from Li's family village would transport the equipment of the sugar rolling factory over by water.

At that time, once the white sugar is produced, it will be shipped directly to various places.

Feng Ang wants to buy it?

All right, I'll sell it to you if I can afford it.

After completing the relevant matters here, the day of departure has arrived.

Although the Feng family did not agree to expand the pier, they still sent people to join the team looking for Spice Island.

Leading the five hundred soldiers was Feng Zhidai, the son of Feng An.

Feng An has quite a few sons, and Feng Zhidai is not that famous.

But Li Yunze knew about this person.

It's not that Feng Zhidai has done any earth-shattering events, but that one of his grandsons is very famous.

The grandson entered the palace as an eunuch, and was adopted by Gao Yanfu, who was also from Lingnan, and changed his surname to Gao. His name was Gao Lishi.

The young Feng Zhidai was obviously a little nervous. This should be the first time he has undertaken a mission on behalf of the family.

However, the clansman and the five hundred soldiers he brought were much calmer.

Especially when it comes to going to sea, there is no fear at all, and it is not like the dudes from Guanzhong, who can't stand still when they vomit.

The fleet left Lingnan and sailed south. The members of the Feng family who boarded the ship originally planned to volunteer to lead the way. After all, it would be fatal if there were no experienced old sailors to lead the way on the sea route.

However, the sailors on the ship simply said, "Don't bother, our lord will look at the stars for positioning." '

Just looking at the stars is not enough, Li Yunze also has detailed sea charts and various equipment.

Of course, the charts of more than 1000 years later can only play a rough role, but the rough effect is enough.

The fleet went south and did not go straight to the Spice Islands, but instead traveled south along the coastline to Champa.

The matter of Champa rice has been talked about for several years, but Feng An has been evading it for various reasons, for fear that the emperor will intervene in this name.

Li Yunze is also very interested in this high-yielding original rice variety.

Although the hybrid rice of later generations is very good, it has lost the ability to reproduce and can only be used for special breeding.

And if you want to make further progress and breakthroughs, the original seed is very important.

In addition to sending it to Li Er, Li Yunze also planned to bring some back to future generations.

The so-called Champa Kingdom is actually Linyi, which is Xianglin County in Rinan County in the Han Dynasty.

During the Han Dynasty, Qu Kui, the son of the local Xianglin County Gong Cao, killed the county magistrate and rebelled to establish the Champa Kingdom.

At this time, the Champa Kingdom was still more respectful to the Central Plains Dynasty. After all, more than 20 years ago, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Champa Kingdom once, destroying the country and destroying the country.

King Fan Fanzhi hurriedly apologized, and continued to pay tribute until the world was in chaos.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Fanzhi sent people to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and continued to submit and dare not be assassinated.

Li Yunze really wanted to destroy the Champa Kingdom, but the fleet couldn't stay here for a long time. If it really wanted to destroy the country, it would only be the savages here.

So after sending people ashore to ask for a lot of rice seeds and supplies, they described the specific location of Champa in detail, and then left with the fleet.

Just wait, Li Er, who is determined to forge ahead and likes to expand the territory, knows that this place is naturally suitable for large-scale grain and even rubber planting, and after opening up the sea transportation channel, he will definitely not let it go.

The fleet sailed southeast into the deep sea, and then the wind in the trade wind belt passed through the pristine strait between Luzon and Borneo, and finally arrived at the destination of the Spice Islands.

"Everyone."

On the deck of the ship, Li Yunze told everyone sincerely, "The islands in front are full of spices, and you can pick them up after you go ashore."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes are shining, it is a spice that is worth more than gold.

The whole one is everywhere, and it's not just an island. What kind of island is this? It's obviously Jinshan.

The impatient people even couldn't bear it and jumped into the sea to swim directly.

"There are people on the island."

Li Yunze said slowly, "Before we came here, we agreed that everyone who participated in this matter will be rewarded with spices equal to their body weight in addition to wages. Do you want more?"

This question asks, who doesn't want more.

Immediately, someone laughed and said, "Your lord wants to do whatever you want, as long as you can give spices, I will dare to do anything!"

"Yes, yes!"

The crowd cheered loudly, and the atmosphere was very warm.

When the poor and crazy crowd saw Jinshan, they dared to do anything.

"very good."

Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction, "I'm a very fair person, and I get as much reward as I put in. There are many savages on these islands, and a savage's head can be rewarded with ten catties of spices. Are you willing to do it?"

Datang is not a big coward. Datang, who still has martial arts, is very brave and has a pioneering spirit.

Faced with such a generous reward, and being a savage on an island thousands of miles away from Middle-earth, naturally no one would refuse.

The news was quickly passed on to other ships, and there were bursts of cheers immediately.

One is ten catties, so isn't that one hundred catties a thousand catties of spices?
A thousand catties of spices in Chang'an City is enough to buy a big house.

The excited Tangren expedition team boarded the small boat one after another and rowed towards the shore with all their strength.

When the high-spirited expedition team set off, Ma Zhou, whose complexion was already tanned a lot, walked up to Li Yunze, and asked doubtfully, "Why does the owner of the village hate these Kunlun slaves?"

In fact, most of the Kunlun slaves in the Tang Dynasty were short blacks captured by the Arab fleet from various islands in the South Seas.

Standing on the deck with his hands behind his back, Li Yunze turned to look at Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou trembled slightly as he looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Because they're damned!"
