Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 368 The Finale
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

In the past few years, many things have happened. Hui Ri had already returned to the island country by boat, but it was a pity that he arrived safely. Later, the old man Changsun inadvertently hinted that there have been several batches of merchant ships going there. In the end, he just laughed , I didn’t say, I think there should be more batches, right?
Oyster sauce was successfully developed by the Qin family. Its unique umami flavor conquered Chang'an within half a month. It has been a bestseller for a long time, and it is hard to find a bottle. It can be regarded as a stable and reliable source of income for the Qin family.Although Jinyu made an excuse to give it to the Qin family, Yuzhang came to give dividends regularly. He heard that the oyster sauce had already gone out to sea with the ship, and planned to sell it to those savages at a sky-high price.

Speaking of sea-going ships, the imperial court has continued to summarize and improve them from the tentative construction in the past few years, and has now built them on a large scale.Li Erye did not let merchant ships from other countries transport it back as he said at the beginning, for no other reason, and the profit was huge.Mr. Ma said that with a 300% profit, someone would dare to trample on all laws in the world. What about a 2000% profit?

The answer, of course, is flocking to it!As for the sailors who unfortunately died... Anyway, the pension Jin Yu gave was quite sufficient.That's right, in the end, Jin Yu still couldn't stand Yang Ying's nagging and Qin Cheng's courtship, and resolutely decided to contribute his own strength to the era of great navigation.

No one has trouble with money. Why do so many people in North Korea and China welcome island countries to visit?Because every time people come, they use silver to press the boat!Shiploads of silver were shipped over, and then some books, food, stones, etc. were shipped back. No one could refuse such an affordable trading partner, so the court also added some seasoning secretly, not willing to come blatantly.After all, looking at the entire Zhenguan, the annual output of local silver fluctuates around 500-1000 kilograms, which is not enough for a ship's ballast silver...

Cheng Mowang’s reason for convincing Jinyu to participate in the Great Voyage of the Times is very simple: if we have our own fleet, we can trade with island countries, transport some smallpox over, and bring back silver without losing money.After finding out the distribution of power in the island country, we can support some weak ones, support some weapons, and let them make trouble on their own. While making money and people, it’s so cool to make money while lying at home!
Speaking of earning people, it is because the imperial court attaches great importance to cotton. Along the Silk Week Road, the width of the road was slightly widened to encourage the nobles to race horses to grow cotton. Figure out your own way.

Manpower is a problem. People in Guanzhong are unwilling to leave their hometowns, and people from Lingnan can't adapt to the wind and sand when they go.As a result, another use of sailing came to the fore, unconditionally accepting the labor force from the surrounding countries, not only accepting it, but also paying him back!It is said that this money is regarded as the compensation paid by Huanghuang Tianchao to the victim in advance on behalf of the criminal!Who can bear this, so the security of the surrounding countries seems to be rotten to the root, and there are more and more prisoners...

Labor is also needed by the Jin family, after all, they have come to a little cotton field in the right circle, but Jin Yu is still unacceptable to sell labor, so Jin Yu decided to be an ostrich, only asking for dividends from the navigation trade...

Jin Yu, who was an ostrich, did not have nothing to gain in the Agricultural College. At least the sails needed for the early age of great navigation were created by the Agricultural College. The performance of the hemp sails used has been improved several times, and the loss of east corners and the harvest of mulberry elms are worthy of the Qin family's sponsorship of the Agricultural College.

Of course, the Cheng family's investment of thousands of dollars over the past few years was not in vain. With the concerted efforts of the Agricultural College, they finally artificially cultivated usable fungi, which can be eaten fresh or dried for storage.Cheng Mowang is also generous, and vigorously promotes it on his own farm with a wave of his hand. Sheds are also built on fertile land, and the government will also accept fines!Recovered all investment in two years!The net profit for the next three years, plus the subsequent transfer fee, will make a lot of money.

The pigeons may have felt the pressure of Cheng Huaimo's meal. In order not to be fried, grilled, stewed, etc., finally some pigeons became enlightened and successfully opened a short-distance channel at the risk of their lives.It only takes a few hours to fly from Luoyang to Chang'an. Of course, the loss is huge. The same batch of information is released with ten pigeons, and two pigeons can be harvested at the end. There is no way, there are too many natural enemies.For this reason, Cheng Mowang ridiculed Jinyu's suggestion of protecting tigers more than once, that he could have two tigers in a distance of forty or fifty miles, which caused great trouble to the caravans and the people in the past. You told me to protect ? ? ?He couldn't understand the pain of cramping and skinning!As a result, there was a lot more stock of Tiger X Wine in Jinjia Cellar.

While the Agricultural College is thriving, there are also failures. Others’ projects have achieved results. Jinyu’s own potato project ended in failure, limited by the level of science and technology. Potatoes failed to detoxify and temporarily became extinct. Jinyu is not sad, and also believes that in the early age of great navigation, maybe ten years, maybe 50 years, maybe 100 years, potatoes will thrive and develop on this land again!
As for colchicine, Jin Yu chose to give up.Jin Yu can imagine that kind of scene:

Li Er: What kind of element did you work so hard to figure out? What do you want to do?

Jin Yu: Cultivate a seedless watermelon, you don’t need to crack the seeds when you eat watermelon, it tastes better!

Or collapse, or death, there will always be one who will be pissed off or beaten to death.

In a harmonious society, giving up is a wise choice.

There are also people who don't believe in this evil, such as Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huaimo, who just made the hot air balloon out. Cheng Mowang is also not afraid of death, and he fought with Li Erye, saying that this thing is used for scouting when the two armies are facing each other. Hope is an invincible existence, who can mobilize troops and horses in time to make the Tang army invincible.

After many reliability tests, Li Erye even boarded the hot air balloon himself, and finally agreed to make the hot air balloon for military use only. The plan of Qin and Cheng to make money from advertisements came to naught, but at any rate they did not want to make money. Two viscounts came to join him.

How should I put it, it is unprecedented for the eldest son to be conferred a title. After all, the eldest son has the undisputed right to inherit the title, and he is also a marquis if he inherits from a reduced rank. He inherits the title, but he can also choose other younger brothers to inherit it, which is equivalent to having multiple titles, giving one more choice, glory, and everyone is happy.

At the same time, the cabbage harvest of the Agricultural College ushered in a bumper harvest, and Long Yan was very happy, but did not give Jin Yu any rewards.

In the winter of the same year, Yang Ying got her wish, and Jin Yu got a daughter. Yang Ying wanted to be named Xiaobaicai, but Jin Yu sternly rejected her!

In the winter of the same year, rumors arose in Chang'an City, saying that Jin Yu was Li Erye's illegitimate son and would inherit the throne in the future. Jin Yu was immersed in the love of his sons and daughters and didn't care, treating rumors as fart!
In the spring of the following year, Yang Ying was stabbed and slightly injured when she was out on a green trip. Xuanxuan died protecting her daughter. .

In the summer, Jin Yu took his daughter east to the hot spring in the name of Yang Ying's healing, but in fact, he went down the river and left with a seal.

I don’t raise my father here, I have my own happy world, I have my own fleet, cross the Bering Strait to open up wasteland, and go south to beat the savages in South Australia. Which one is better than being cowardly in Chang’an?
Before reaching Luoyang, the wind was so strong that the shipwreck in front blocked it, making Yu unable to move.

Yu resisted it with earth and thunder, although he was injured, he was not afraid. After three days of confrontation, Yu said: "Heaven will kill me!"Then he landed and returned to Chang'an.

And An Mian Sheng, talk in secret.The next day, Yu Yu married his wife Changle, abolished the prince, and circled Li Tai. The whole court was shocked.

When the cold comes and the summer comes, Tubo asks for marriage after the attack. Yu said: I have heard that the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. Yu dare not leave behind the woman.Then stop.

The next year, the five-way army conquered Tubo and conquered it in March. It stopped at Nanxue Mountain, and the stone inscription marked the border of Tang Dynasty.
