Fu Xiaoguan left this small courtyard with two precious navigation charts.
At this moment, Sakura is saying to Ibebe Xiongji: "Ibebe-kun, I heard that the Yu Dynasty has no coast. What do you think the young master wants this navigation chart for?"
Jingbian Xiong Er thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it was because the Yu Dynasty had no coast that he became curious."
Sakura frowned, "What if... what if he follows that route and leads the ship over?"
Xiong Er laughed loudly by the well, "Don't talk about the Yu Dynasty, even the Wu Dynasty with a coast, they don't have warships..." After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness, whether it is the Wu Dynasty or the Yu Dynasty, They have a vast land and abundant resources, and they don’t have to survive in the sea like we do. As you have seen in the six months since you have been here, their land is fertile and their products are rich. Their people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are as good as heaven’s compared to ours. Don't."
"The sea is dangerous, and they cannot go to sea to survive, so they have no chance of invading our country. What we have to do is to have good relations with these countries and promote mutual commerce to relieve our country's economic crisis."
Sakura nodded as if she understood, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "Since the young master has invited us to go to the Yu Dynasty to establish an embassy... Mr. Ibebe, after the literary meeting is over, can I follow the young master? How about Yu Chao?"
Jingbian Xiong Er naturally understands the thoughts of the seventh princess. It would be a great thing if the seventh princess could marry Fu Xiaoguan. Jinling is said to be extremely prosperous, and Fu Xiaoguan is already in a high position at a young age. The seventh princess became Fu Xiaoguan's wife... Even if she is a concubine, it is much better than returning to the island country.
But... "Fu Xiaoguan is too famous. I heard that he and Princess Yu Chaojiu already have a relationship, I'm afraid that he..."
Sakura's face turned red and she lowered her head, thinking that she had indeed thought too much. The young man was famous all over the world, how could he marry a foreigner as his wife and concubine?
"I just want to see the prosperity of Jinling and do my best for our court."
"Your Highness... let's talk about this later."
……
……
After coming out of the Liu Dynasty embassy, Deng Xiu took Fu Xiaoguan to the Li country embassy. After some deception, he got another nautical chart. It can be said that Li country is not far from the Yu Dynasty, but only separated by it. A small country called Langya.
If you want to reach the Yu Dynasty from Li State, you must land at Langya, and then pass through Langya to reach the western border of the Yu Dynasty.
But because Langya country did not allow Li country’s ships to dock, Li country could not reach the Yu Dynasty. As for the reason... Li country’s envoy said that there had been several fights between Langya country and Li country, and the relationship between them was difficult. repair.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't have the thought or ability to solve this matter now, so he said goodbye and went to the Luzon Embassy again.
As soon as he followed the elderly envoy from Luzon into the courtyard, he smelled a familiar sweet smell.
He stood in the yard, sniffed hard, and felt suddenly excited, but asked calmly: "Master Huo, where does this...scent of your place come from?"
The white-haired Master Huo quickly smiled and said: "Yesterday, our merchants arrived here. This thing they brought has no name. They said it was excavated in the mountains. The taste is okay. Master Fu, do you want to try it? ”
"If it's convenient, give me a taste."
Master Huo walked to the kitchen tremblingly, and when he came out, he held a freshly roasted sweet potato in his hand and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan.
When Fu Xiaoguan saw it, he felt even more excited. He broke open the sweet potato, and a sweet smell suddenly filled the air.
This is it!
"Master Huo, do you still have this? The unbaked kind."
He took a sip, and the soft, glutinous and sweet taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. He thought that since this thing was collected from the mountains and had no name yet, could it be that it had not been cultivated artificially?
Sweet potatoes in previous lives were called sweet potatoes because they came from far away overseas.
This thing is native to Central America, and was later brought to the Philippines for cultivation by the Spaniards. They regarded this thing as a rare commodity and were strictly prohibited from leaving the country.
It wasn't until 1593 that a Chinese doing business in the Philippines stole this thing back with great difficulty, so sweet potatoes were available in Daxia.
Fu Xiaoguan was surprised that this thing existed in Luzon. The reason why he was excited was that once this thing was successfully planted, the food problem of the Yu Dynasty would be solved immediately!
This thing doesn’t care about the soil or the region. The yield is extremely high, it’s easy to preserve, and the most important thing is that it tastes pretty good.
Compared to the hybrid rice he is tinkering with, this thing can produce huge value immediately.
Deng Xiu didn't understand, he just thought it was Master Fu who liked to eat this stuff.
Master Huo from Luzon Kingdom thought the same thing. He smiled and said, "There are some left. If Master Fu likes them, just take them."
Fu Xiaoguan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He happily finished the sweet potato in his hand and clapped his hands, "Then I'm welcome!"
The two then chatted over a cup of tea, and Fu Xiaoguan also kindly invited Mr. Huo to Jinling. Then he watched Su Jue carrying a sack, and the group left and returned to Jinghu Villa.
Dong Shulan and the others have returned, their faces filled with joy, "The store has been decided on. It is located on Huijin Avenue in the inner city. The location is excellent. We have arranged for people to repair it, and the signboard can be put up in a few days. Sold."
Su Su looked at the senior brother and asked in shock: "What did you go to rob?"
Su Jue put down the sack, thinking that it smelled good and Fu Xiaoguan ate it, so he said, "It should be something delicious."
Susu's eyes lit up and she ran over, opened the sack and took a look - what is this?
Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said: "Don't think about it, this is a treasure, you have to wait until the end of the year to eat it."
Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan also gathered around, picked up the fist-sized sweet potato and looked at it again and again. Seeing no clue, they had no choice but to look at Fu Xiaoguan.
"This thing is called a sweet potato. Its skin is red. It can be grown and tastes very good. I will take one and bake it for you to try. You are only allowed to bake one. These are seeds, and you will eat them later. ”
It's March 20th now. We have to quickly send this thing to Xishan and hand it over to Wang Er before it's too late.
He asked Chunxiu to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the sweet potato planting process in detail. Dong Shulan and others looked at it curiously - thinking that he, a small landowner, was a professional enough to grow such a kind of sweet potato. He actually wrote such detailed planting steps for wild animals in the mountains and fields.
After writing the letter, he carefully handed it to Chunxiu, "You have to go back to Linjiang Xishan and hand this letter and these sweet potatoes to Wang Er with your own hands. Remember, it's your own hands!"
"After you go to Fanning City, go to Xue Ping and return to General Xue and give him this letter. He will send someone to **** you to Xishan."
Chunxiu nodded without stopping, called the carriage at home, and left Jinghu Villa.
Fu Xiaoguan felt very comfortable after letting go of a major matter.
When it was getting dark, the concierge Ning Siyan brought someone in. He was Su Diandian, the fifth senior brother of the Taoist Academy.
"Elder brother, we found Beiwangchuan!"
"Where is he?"
"Canghai, Jianlu!"
