Fu Xiaoguan left the small courtyard with two valuable nautical charts.

And at this moment, Sakura was saying to Kumaji Ibbe: "Wellbe-kun, this palace heard that there is no coast in the Yu Dynasty, what do you say the little lord wants this nautical chart for?" ”

Jingbian Xiong Er thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the Yu Dynasty doesn't have a coast that he is curious." ”

Sakura frowned, "If so...... What if he followed that course and led the ships to come? ”

Jingbian Xiong Er laughed, "Don't talk about the Yu Dynasty, even if it is the Wu Dynasty with a coast, they don't have a warship...... " After a pause, he said again: "Your Highness, whether it is the Wu Dynasty or the Yu Dynasty, they have a lot of land and resources, and they don't have to survive in the sea like us." You've been here for half a year, and you've seen that their land is fertile and abundant. Their people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are vastly different from ours. ”

"The sea is dangerous, and they can't go to sea to survive, so they can't invade our dynasty. What we need to do is to establish good relations with these countries and promote trade with each other, so as to solve the crisis of our economy. ”

Sakura nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Since the little lord invited us to go to the Yu Dynasty to establish an embassy...... Jingbian-kun, after the end of the literary meeting, can this palace follow the little adult to the Yu Dynasty to have a look? ”

Jingbian Xiong Er naturally understood the mind of the seventh princess, if the seventh princess could marry Fu Xiaoguan, this would of course be an excellent thing, 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 it's a concubine, it's much, much better than going back to that island country.

But ...... "Fu Xiaoguan's reputation is too great, and I heard that there is already a love affair between him and the ninth princess of Yu Chao, but I am afraid that he will ......." ”

Sakura's face turned red and she lowered her head, thinking that she really thought too much, how could she marry a foreigner as her concubine?

"This palace just wants to see the prosperity of Jinling and do a modest contribution for me."

"Your Highness...... Let's talk about that later. ”

……

……

After coming out of the embassy of the Liuguo, Deng Xiu took Fu Xiaoguan to the embassy of the Liguo again, and after some flickering, he got a navigation chart, to say that this Liguo is not far from the Yu Dynasty, but there is a small country named Langya in it.

If you want to reach the Yu Dynasty from Liguo, you must land at Langya, and then pass through Langya to reach the western border of the Yu Dynasty.

But because this Langya country does not allow Liguo's ships to dock, there is no way for Liguo to go to the Yu Dynasty, as for the reason...... The envoy of Liguo said that there had been several fights between Langya and Liguo, and the relationship between them was difficult to repair.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't have the mind or ability to solve this matter now, so he said goodbye and went to the Luzon embassy again.

As soon as he entered the courtyard with the old envoy from Luzon, he smelled a familiar sweet scent.

He stood in the courtyard and sniffed vigorously, his heart was suddenly excited, but he asked with a calm face: "Lord Huo, is this...... Where does this scent come from? ”

The white-haired Lord Huo hurriedly smiled and said: "Yesterday, my country's merchants arrived here, and this thing brought has no name, it is said that it was dug in the mountains, and the taste is okay, do you want to taste 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 baked sweet potato in his hand and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan.

When Fu Xiaoguan saw it, he was even more excited, he broke the sweet potato, and a sweet smell suddenly permeated.

That's it!

"Master Huo, is there anything else about this thing? The kind that wasn't baked. ”

He tasted it, and the soft and sweet taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and he thought to himself, since this thing was picked from the mountains and has no name, could it be that it has not been artificially planted?

The sweet potato in the past life used to be called sweet potato because it came from far overseas.

Native to the Central Americas, it was later brought to the Philippines by the Spaniards for cultivation, and it was strictly forbidden to leave the country as a curiosity.

It wasn't until 1593 that the Chinese who were doing business in the Philippines stole it back with difficulty, so the Great Xia Kingdom had sweet potatoes.

Fu Xiaoguan was really surprised that there was such a thing in Luzon, and the reason why he was excited in his heart was that once this thing was successfully planted, the food problem of the Yu Dynasty would be solved immediately!

This thing does not pick the soil, does not choose the region, the yield is extremely high, it is good to preserve, the key is that it tastes quite good.

Compared to the hybrid rice he was tinkering with, this thing was immediately of great value.

Deng Xiu didn't understand, he just thought that Master Fu liked to eat this thing.

Lord Huo of Luzon also thought so, and he smiled: "There are still some of them, if Master Fu likes them, take them." ”

Fu Xiaoguan's hanging heart just landed, he happily finished eating the sweet potato in his hand, and clapped his hands, "Then I'm welcome!" ”

Then the two chatted about the work of tea, and Fu Xiaoguan also graciously invited this Huo Master to Jinling, and then watched Su Jue carrying a sack, and the group left here and returned to Jinghu Villa.

Dong Shulan and the three of them have already returned, their faces are full of joy, "The shop has been settled, it is on Huijin Avenue in the inner city, the location is excellent, we have arranged for someone to repair it, and we can hang up the signboard to sell it in a few days." ”

Su Su looked at the senior brother and asked in amazement, "What are you robbing here?" ”

Su Jue put down the sack, thinking that this thing smelled very fragrant, and seeing that Fu Xiaoguan was also very fragrant when he ate it, he said, "It should be something delicious." ”

Su Su's eyes lit up and he ran over, opened the sack and looked - what is this?

Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said: "Don't think about it, this is a baby, and if you want to eat it, you have to wait until the end of the year." ”

Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan also came around, picked up the fist-sized sweet potato and looked at it again and again, but they couldn't see the fame, so they had to look at Fu Xiaoguan.

"It's called a sweet potato, and its skin is red. It can be grown and the taste is very good. I will take one and bake it for you to taste, only one is allowed to roast, these are seeds, and you will eat them in the future. ”

It's March 20 now, and I have to hurry up and send this thing to Xishan to hand it over to Wang Er, and it's still too late.

He asked Chunxiu to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the planting process of the sweet potato in detail, Dong Shulan and others looked at it curiously-thinking that he, a small landlord, was professional enough, such a wild thing that grows and grows in the mountains, he actually wrote such a detailed planting step.

After writing the letter, he cautiously handed it to Chunxiu, "You have to go back to Linjiang Xishan, and hand over this letter and these sweet potatoes to Wang Er by yourself, remember, it's your own hands!" ”

"After you go to Fanning City, go to General Xue Ping and return to Xue, give him this letter, and he will send someone to escort you to Xishan."

Chunxiu nodded and did not stop, called the carriage in the house, and left Jinghu Villa.

Putting down a major event, Fu Xiaoguan was in a very comfortable mood.

When it was getting late, the porter Ning Siyan brought someone in, he was the fifth senior brother of the Taoist Academy, Su Diandian.

"Senior brother, I found Beiwangchuan!"

"Where is he?"

"Canghai, Arrow House!"
