The northeast monsoon rises, down to Southeast Asia!

The coast formed a line and gradually disappeared into the range of the telescope, and Yan Dashao once again embarked on the sea journey back to the Rising Sun City on the island of Java in Southeast Asia.

The fleet was already a well-informed horse, and after taking the eastern route, passing through the Taiwan-Luzon waterway, to Luzon and Sulu, it reached the territory of the southeastern province---- Jinshan Island (Kalimantan Island), crossed the Java Sea, and returned to the city of the rising sun.

The whole route has been well traveled and is very safe, and there are regular patrols from the southeast province to clear the channel throughout the whole process.

Luzon was under the jurisdiction of the Spaniards, and the Spaniards knew that the cannons of the southeast province were powerful and did not dare to provoke them, so they just had to make money.

At present, there are many Chinese who have entered Luzon to work and develop, and there is no inconvenience.

On the Sulu side, the Sultanate of Sulu has repeatedly requested to be included in the territory of the Southeastern Province and become a vassal state of the Southeastern Province!

In the wide cabin of the battleship, Yan Dashao sat opposite his friend Mr. David.

Yan Dashao has long been a loner, and his only friend is Mr. David.

The ghost guy does not care about glory and wealth, he likes to wander around for a long time, write about his history of human civilization, especially like Chinese snacks, very gluttonous, has many books and recipes, is a first-class gourmet.

He also has a strong talent for language, and can fluently speak Hokkien that is similar to the book of heaven for Hongmaofan, so it is not a problem for him to squeeze into the ruling layer of the Southeast Mansion.

The high-level officials of the Southeast Prefecture have a more conflicted view of him, and some people think that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different; Others think that he is similar to those naturalized generals of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, who are more Chinese than the Chinese and can be trusted. And Yan Changwu's wives and concubines are always suspicious, suspecting that he and their husbands are engaged in Longyang fun!

In any case, he is wise and deeply trusted by Yan Changwu.

Tea is curling, and the two are playing ---- flying chess!

Ludo chess is an invention of Yan Dashao, used for leisure, and if the people knew that two big people were throwing small dice there, they would definitely shock their jaws.

Yan Dashao is a relaxation exercise in his spare time, and he doesn't like to play Go and chess, which are brain-wielding, and his usual work has long been too intense.

Play games and talk at the same time.

"What do you think of the request of the Sultanate of Sulu to be attached?" Yan Changwu asked.

Mr. David did not talk about his opinion, but talked about history: "During the Yongle period, the three kings of the East and West of Sulu and the three kings of the Sulu Kingdom and their attendants and hundreds of attendants crossed the ocean to visit the Celestial Empire, and were warmly received by the Yongle Emperor. ”

"However, later they embraced the Green Religion, the Spaniards came, the Sulu fought with the Spaniards, defeated the Spaniards, and the Sulu people have been paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Hehe, the best country is a mono-ethnic country, but the Sulu people have a relationship with us, which is not easy to start!" Mr. David said heavily.

"It's really hard to start, the country is small, just let them go!" Yan Changwu said.

"But the borders must be agreed, no religion must be propagated, and their rule is regarded as North Korea, and the leader thinks it is good?!" Mr. David said.

Korea regards the southeastern province as the leader of the suzerain, but the southeastern province does not interfere in their internal affairs, and accepts the guidance of the southeastern province diplomatically and militarily, opens ports and conducts economic and trade exchanges, and accepts garrisons.

Mr. Intercept Wei then put pen to paper, wrote down the strategy for Sulu, and prepared to carry it out after arriving at the Rising Sun Harbor.

The two of them said a few words, and the fate of a country was decided!

The strength of the Southeast Province can be seen.

Mr. David asked curiously, "The collapse of Da Ming may be two years later?" ”

"Maybe, who knows!" Yan Changwu said vaguely, and Mr. David didn't say much.

……

They are all old sailors, sailing day and night, and Yan Changwu, as the captain of the battleship, also conducts combat duty and never relaxes.

The people of the time praised him, and Yan Changwu thought to himself: "I don't play sailing, what else can I play!" ”

Yes, there are no 3D movies to watch, no self-driving tours, no high-speed rail, no airplanes, no mobile phone disinfection, and there is indeed a lack of entertainment life in ancient times.

Yan Dashao's main job in life is to drive ships and fight, and manage government affairs.

Leisure is hunting and playing with his wives and concubines, which is really not so good for him, a world that comes from a great abundance of entertainment.

……

Only a little more than a month, Yan Changwu's fleet returned to the Rising Sun Harbor and was warmly welcomed by his wives and concubines and military and political dignitaries.

"Two homes, enough for you to be busy!" Mr. David laughed.

As soon as Yan Dashao arrived, a good thing came to him, so that he would go to the Southeast Prefecture Tropical Crop Research Park with Chen Xinji and Sun Yuanhua the next day, regardless of the fatigue of the boat.

The Tropical Crops Research Park is the official research institute of Southeast Province, which mainly studies the cultivation and promotion of tropical crops.

Four new plants have been added: peppers! Rubber tree! Cassava! Oil palm!

Chili peppers are native to the Americas and were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty (late 16th century). According to the record in Gao Lian's "Zunsheng Eight Notes" (1591 AD) of the Ming Dynasty: "The peppers are clustered, the flowers are white, the fruit is like a bald pen head, the taste is spicy and the color is red, which is very considerable." ”

However, it is believed that China is also the origin of chili peppers, and it is believed that there are extremely spicy millet peppers in southwest China that have long become a gift for people in bitter cold places like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to resist the cold.

No matter what, the chili pepper was already in Yan Dashao's hand.

The rubber tree is native to the Amazon forest, and Yan Dashao hired Spaniards and Portuguese to search all over South America, and finally found this tree with white sap.

Cassava is also found in the Amazon forests and is mainly used for food, feed and industrial exploitation. Root starch is one of the main raw materials for starch production in industry.

Then there is the oil palm, which resembles a coconut, so it is also known as "oil coconut", its homeland is in West Africa, and it has been growing in obscurity in the tropical rainforest until Yan Dashao sent people to find them.

The power of oil palm lies in the fact that it is one of the most oil-producing oil crops, with an average oil yield of about 1 ton per hectare, which is better than peanuts, soybeans, rape, castor, sunflower, cottonseed, etc.

Yan Dashao worked as a map editor in his previous life, and his footprints have traveled all over the world, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, and he knows all the above four crops, and after he is sure, he is really excited!

Everyone saw that he was quite excited, but they didn't know what he meant, Chen Xinji knew the cost of getting these plants, and hoped that it would be worth the money to get them.

Yan Dashao told the planting conditions and functions of the four crops, which made them all gasp!

If that's the case, then this time it's really earned!

Many people are thinking, Hongmao Fan doesn't know, we don't know, how did the leader know, is it really Mazu Niangniang who gave him a dream?

Some people have seen the map and know where South America is!

However, Yan Changwu didn't say it, they could only imagine with itching how Yan Dashao knew.

After all, Chen Xinji was the prime minister, and immediately thought of the disposal method of the four new plants.
