Chapter 337: Across the Sea
The small seedlings are lined up in a neat line, standing energetically in the soil, growing well.
This year, almost all the land on the west bank has been planted with peppers, as much as more than 1,000 acres, the Yang family's big Zhuangzi also has 500 acres, and the Zhao landlord has planted 50 acres, adding up to almost 2,000 acres of peppers, which is 40 times that of last year......
"Ah?!So much?!" Zhong Yunjiao was surprised, happy and embarrassed, happy that "Qiao Yi" was so eye-catching, surprised that "he" was too eye-catching, embarrassed because he had been in a hurry for half a month, and it was unnecessary. "Young Master Qiao, you are simply a race immortal, and you actually expected that the pepper sauce would be in short supply in Nanyang. ”
"I really didn't expect to go to Nanyang, I planted so much this year, I saw that last year, you didn't take it out and sell it, if this year, you don't plan to sell pepper sauce in the country, I'm welcome. ”
Zhong Yunjiao jumped up from the ridge and shouted, "That's not possible, it can be written in black and white, your pepper sauce should be supplied to our Taoyuan Restaurant." ”
"As long as you can eat it all, I'm fine. "I've saved a lot of work.
"Eat well, eat well! The more the merrier! The prince said, two new ships launched this year, one of which is specially used to carry your sauce, I am in charge. ”
New ship?!Qiao Lan's mind lit up. "It's expensive to build a sea ship, isn't it? How much silver does it cost?"
"Qiao Gongzi is also interested in ships?" This is not a secret, Zhong Yunjiao opened his mouth and said, "About 200,000 units! The keel of the new ship has been dried for three years, and the hull has begun to be built, and it can be completed and launched at the end of July and early August, and we can go to the South Seas together in October." ”
"It takes three years to build a ship?" Qiao Lan's disappointment was overflowing, she thought that if she hurried up, she could build one in half a year, but she didn't expect that after the keel of the ship was ready, it would take three years to dry it before she could continue to build. "What is the captain of your ship, and how big is it?" She remembered that Zheng He's sea ship in the Western Ocean was more than 100 meters long, and the sea ship of the country must be 100 meters long.
"That's it, about twelve zhang long and three zhang wide!" Zhong Yunjiao took a branch and drew the shape of a ship on the ground, and said proudly, and those who didn't know thought that this boat was a masterpiece he had built.
He didn't draw it well, but the outline came out, and Qiao Lan could see it very clearly, there were only three sails on the boat, which was a bit of a long distance from what she imagined, and the boat was much, much smaller than she imagined. Qiao Lan couldn't believe it.
Qiao Lan threw the question out, and Zhong Yunjiao said categorically, "There is no doubt about it, I am not a living example, taking the 'lucky boat', drifting across the sea, seeing all the customs and customs of the South Seas, and exchanging the goods from our country for a large number of exotic treasures." "The most taboo thing to do business is to tell people 'how do I get money in this business', Zhong Yunjiao in order to prove how stable, how strong, and how safe the fortune ship is, even this taboo has forgotten, but he is also fearless, after all, shipbuilding and going to sea is not something that ordinary dignitaries can do, Yu Wangye's business is a pioneering feat that only the power of the whole country has, in his eyes, ten Qiao Lan put together, and it can't be done.
Qiao Lan Nahan, was about to sigh that the "Lucky Boat" was not good-looking, who knows, Zhong Yunjiao's next words were not very pleasant, "This trip was surprisingly smooth, and I didn't meet pirates, but it's a pity that I encountered a big sea nest on the way back and sank a ship......"
"......" Qiao Lan was dumbfounded, one of the five ships sank, that is, one in five accidents, or surprisingly smooth, and there were no pirates, if this did not go well, or encountered pirates, wouldn't it be completely annihilated?
For a person who has taken a luxury voyage to sea several times and has a cruise ship under his name, the "lucky ship" mentioned by Zhong Yunjiao is really not enough.
Qiao Lan didn't make much comments on "Fu Chuan", looking at Zhong Yunjiao's praise for "Fu Chuan", but whenever she said something good, it was like stabbing a knife in someone's heart, but she decisively chose to change the topic and beckoned Zhong Yunjiao back to the mansion for dinner.
The banquet is carefully prepared, and the wine is still the peach blossom wine made last year. Before the delicious food, people are also very relaxed, Zhong Yunjiao knows almost everything about the trip to Nanyang, and the words are all over Nanyang, there is a lot of money, and people are stupid.
After changing a few porcelain vases, they were overjoyed and gave us two more brutes like cotton balls. Those two guys are as white as snowflakes, and their hair is so long, they don't look like dogs in our country, but their barking is the same. ”
"Don't you know wow, the cloth head we usually use to pad the bottom of the box is rare, and it is exchanged for a huge agate, and some people regret that they did not change to the cloth head, hahaha, stupid to the edge. Zhong Yunjiao slapped the table and laughed, he drank almost the entire pot of wine, at this time, not to mention the demeanor, even the image was gone.
"Ouch, that's stupid enough, and you should have picked up a big bargain. Qiao Lan echoed and thought, maybe people still say that you are stupid, and a broken stone is rare.
Zhong Yunjiao talked from sunset to the branches on the moon, Qiao Lan was still proud, and seeing that it was getting dark, she warmly invited him to stay. Zhong Yunjiao gladly accepted, and then continued to talk about what he had seen and heard in Nanyang.
According to the topography and landform that Zhong Yunjiao said, as well as his understanding of the world map in his previous life, Qiao Lan is almost certain that Nanyang is Southeast Asia, that is to say, beyond Nanyang, there is the whole world. Yu Wangye's sea ship went as far as a country called Gurda, and the country of Gurda was equivalent to the Philippines......
At night, the moonlight spreads through the openwork panes in the room. Qiao Lan dragged the chaise longue to the window, sat cross-legged on it, and meditated under the moonlight. The moonlight shone on her, scorching brightly, making her whole person look ethereal and ethereal, as if it would feather in the next moment.
"Qiao Lan!" With a milky call, the round, fleshy Yuxi moved in from the small door, and seeing that Qiao Lan didn't care about himself, he said again, "What about cultivation!"
“……”
"Fifteen, the moon is so round. ”
“……”
"Basking in the moonlight to cultivate, isn't it very effective?"
“……”
"Can I sit next to you and cultivate?"
“……
"If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise. ”
Yuxi quickly climbed up to the concubine's collapse, learned Qiao Lan to do it cross-legged, and then meditated on pranayama, after a stick of incense......
"Qiao Lan, are you hungry?"
The meditation was interrupted repeatedly, and Qiao Lan opened her eyes and stared at Yuxi, "What the hell is the matter with you?"
Finally, Qiao Lan took a straight look, and Yuxi asked with great interest, "Hey, hey, I heard that you asked people a lot about going to sea today, you want to be a pirate, right?"
"Is your brain like a lotus root, full of holes?"
Yuxi, whose brain was full of holes, was thrown out of the door by Qiao Lan.
Outside, Guan Xiaoworm was napping, because Qiao Lan barely stayed up at night, she also relaxed her spirit, and suddenly with a "ouch", she woke up and saw Yuxi squatting on the ground, ouch ouch and scream. "Young Master Xi, why are you here?!" (To be continued.) )
