Merton's hands trembled as he took a small bag of fluffy cottonseeds, which was probably his biggest harvest of the day, even the seeds of spinach did not make him feel so turbulent.

Mojia Village has come all the way from poverty, and of course Morton knows that there are two main ways to dress in Datang, the rich and noble wear silk, and the ordinary people wear linen.

However, there are very few clothes that can keep out the cold in winter, and with the seeds of cotton, the people of Datang will no longer be afraid of cold winter nights. This will be the biggest gospel of Datang.

"This seed is true!"

The seeds of cotton are best recognized, the cotton wool on them cannot be peeled clean at all, and Merton, who had seen cotton in his previous life, recognized it at a glance.

Merton stretched out his hand and made a move, and Qin Huaiyu took out twenty gold ingots suspiciously.

"Is this really worth twenty gold?" Qin Huaiyu asked in a low voice.

Merton smirked and said, "Not to mention twenty gold!" The real value of this thing is comparable to that of silkworms. ”

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but gasp, the silkworm is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and its value can be said to be even more valuable.

Even if Merton exaggerated, even if it was half of its value, it would be a great credit.

Qin Huaiyu was accustomed to the magic of Merton, so he was naturally full of confidence in him, and he no longer resisted at the moment, and happily handed over the twenty gold ingots to the hands of Gaochang Hu Shang.

There was no joy in the heart of the emaciated Gaochang Hu Shang, after the seeds of the white stacks flowed out, it was estimated that it would not be long before Gaochang lost its unique advantage.

But he is also very helpless about this, even if he doesn't take out the cotton seed at the moment, or in less than a month, this seed will definitely appear in the hands of the Mo family, rather than this, it is better to take it out in exchange for some benefits, twenty gold is enough to be comparable to all the harvest of his trip.

The experience of the Gaochang businessman made many people think deeply, Mo Jiazi's move is a conspiracy, even if he has the intention to hide some precious things, but even if he doesn't give it, he can't keep other people's hearts, you must know which country comes to Datang is not his own family.

Suddenly, a swarthy and short Hu merchant got up, gritted his teeth and said: "The villain is from the country of Johor in the extreme south, in our country, there is a good variety of rice, from the date of sowing, two months can be harvested, although the rice Datang has, there is absolutely no such good, I don't know how much this value is." ”

"You can harvest in two months! How is this possible? ”

Suddenly, everyone present was in an uproar, many people in Chang'an City are southerners, and naturally know that the production cycle of rice in this era is generally about five or six months, usually two years and three crops, and only a few places in Lingnan Road can achieve two crops a year.

"Liar!" Wei Si'an couldn't help but snort coldly, rice is a common thing in the Tang Dynasty, and its growth cycle is well known, he doesn't believe that a small and remote country has such a good seed.

Many Hu merchants couldn't help but gloat for a while, the seeds that other previous Hu merchants said were all things that the Tang Dynasty had never had, for the sake of those golden ingots, even if it was exaggerated.

But the person in front of him chose the rice common in Datang, and if he wants to cheat money, it may be too easy to debunk it.

The Johor businessman suddenly felt apprehensive, he naturally knew that this matter was a bit risky, but such a huge fortune was in front of him, of course he had to give it a go.

Merton was suddenly overjoyed, it could be that what this person said was the good seed Zhancheng rice that triggered the Chinese agricultural revolution in history.

Merton took a deep breath and said, "Johor! The country in the extreme south of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Mo family once traveled, where the high temperature is high all year round and the four seasons are like summer, the trees are evergreen, never wither, the melons and fruits are continuous, and the people do not have to work, there is no hunger. ”

As soon as Merton's voice fell, the surrounding people were in an uproar, they thought that the surrounding country in the surrounding lobby was a barbarian country, but in Merton's mouth, it was as beautiful as heaven on earth.

"Johor is so rich in products?"

The princes were stunned and said, how does it sound, it is even better than the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tai snorted coldly, he was well-informed, and naturally remembered the records about the southern countries, and said: "The southern countries are indeed rich in products, but they are not the beauty that Mo Jiazi said, there are poisonous snakes everywhere, miasma, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, when Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 troops to conquer South Vietnam, at least 100,000 people died of the epidemic in the south. ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "That at least proves that what this person said is true, rice likes heat, and Johor is like summer all year round, and it is not impossible to have this good seed."

Li Shimin's breath stagnated, and he said slowly: "Whether it's true or not, it's easy to tell that Johor is not out of reach of Datang." ”

If it's fake, it's just a waste of opportunity, if that's really the case, then I'm afraid it will be a great luck for Datang, Datang is agriculture-oriented, food is the top priority, and rice is planted south of the Yangtze River, if all should be planted with this good seed, Datang will have no worries about food within a hundred years.

Merton continued: "The northernmost Jiuyuan County in the Tang Dynasty has only one season of grain a year, while the north and south of the Yangtze River have three seasons in two years, and the most difficult Lingnan Road is more than two seasons a year. ”

After this analysis, the audience suddenly understood, and they also nodded one after another.

"I believe you're telling the truth! Even a small bag of this kind is worth fifty gold. Merton said in a loud voice.

"Fifty gold!"

The Johor businessman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this is simply a huge wealth, and just a small bag of seeds, which is the most common in Johor, can be exchanged, this is probably the most cost-effective business in the world.

Fifty gold will naturally not be given to Johor merchants at this moment, but will wait until the real good seed arrives before trading. At this moment, he was eager to fly back to Johor to get it.

Fifty gold is indeed a great wealth for ordinary people, but the people of insight present know that if this matter is true, then for Datang, fifty gold can solve the food crisis, and it is also the most cost-effective business in the world.

"Mo Jiazi is a good means."

Many people sighed for a while, even if one of the ten seeds is useful, it is a great credit, compared to Bo Wanghou's nine deaths, Mo Jiazi can do it with just some money, it is like a dream.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the Mo family's actions were really imaginative, and there were not a few people in the Tang Dynasty who were richer than the Mo family, but everyone's minds were only staring at the shining gems, but they didn't know that there were these seeds in this world that were ten million times more precious than the hard gems.

Even those who oppose the Mo family have to admit that Merton's move is indeed a matter of merit and benefit for the future.

However, just when everyone looked at Merton on the stage with envious eyes, they heard Merton's voice ring again.

"These seeds are the things of the farmers, but they are not what the Mo family wants, and what the Mo family wants is something more precious than these seeds."

I saw Merton stretch out his hand and make a move, only to see Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, who had stepped down just now, appear again, carrying a box full of gold ingots to the front desk.

Suddenly, the audience fell silent.
