I don't know what Queen He's considerations were, she actually spent money to buy a large ranch in South America.

Tang Zhaozong was very interested in this, and Tang Zhaozong called this ranch the Golden Ranch.

This ranch is huge, with a total area larger than that of Chang'an City in Datang, plus the total area of Huazhou.

In this pasture, cotton and rubber, cash crops such as coffee, rice, and other supplies are grown.

This huge ranch houses more than 10,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep, as well as a sizable number of turkeys, as well as other livestock and poultry.

In addition to the Tang immigrants, there were many slaves who worked in it.

After some planning, Tang Zhaozong and Empress He rode a big wooden bird together to inspect their territory.

We're still on the water. The cliffs facing the edge of the city are surrounded by retaining walls, which are lined with erected brackets that stretch out into nothingness. The lenses glide smoothly onto one of the stands and rest on top of it as easily as a ship docking. Four guards, with the same dark faces and moonlight-colored hair as Marchesa, were waiting for them. They did not appear to be carrying weapons. However, when Shuanghua and Lingsifeng staggered to the wall, their arms were immediately grasped, enough to make any attempt to escape go to naught.

Marchesa and the other water-fighting wizards soon fell behind, and the guards carried their prisoners and quickly walked down a path that meandered along the boat-shaped house. Soon, the road began to slope downward, and in front of it was a palace-like building, carved out of the cliff. Lingsifeng could faintly see the brightly lit aisles inside, and the carved patio, facing the distant sky. Some elderly men with robes embroidered with mysterious magical symbols stepped out of the way and watched with interest as the six-man group passed by. Ling Sifeng noticed that there were also some water resistors here - they were born with a look of extreme disgust for their bodily fluids, which they could recognize at a glance. From time to time there are also people who are faltering, undoubtedly slaves. Before he could ponder what he saw, a door opened, and they were pushed into a room very lightly but hard by the guards. Behind them, the door slammed shut.

Lingsifeng and Shuanghua regained their balance and looked around the room.

"Alas!" Shuanghua tried to find a better word to describe how she felt, but in vain. He paused, and had to say such a meaningless interjection.

"Is this a prison?" Ling Sifeng said what he thought.

"I have never seen any of this gold, silk or anything," said Shuanghua, "I have never seen it!" ”

In the center of this richly decorated room was a carpet with very thick fur, and Lingfeng stepped on it carefully, fearing that it was a hairy beast that loved to crawl. A gleaming table sits on top of the carpet and is filled with food. Most of them are seafood, including the largest lobster that Lingsifeng has ever seen, and the cooking is very exquisite. There were also many plates and bowls, and there were so many strange things in them that he had never heard of. He carefully reached out and picked out a piece of purple fruit sprinkled with green crystals.

"Candied sea urchins." A cheerful voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Very delicious dim sum!" ”

He quickly dropped the thing and turned around. An old man stepped out from behind a heavy curtain. He was tall and thin, and he was kind compared to some of the people Ling Sifeng had seen recently.

"The sea cucumber bisque is also very good."

The man was very excited, "These little green things are starfish boys." ”

"Thank you for telling me." Ling Sifeng said timidly.

"Really, it's all delicious." Shuanghua said, her mouth full of food, "I remember you seem to like seafood?" ”

"Yes, I remember I used to love food." "What kind of wine is this—is it squeezed out of an octopus's eyeballs?" ”

"Made from sea grapes." The old man said.

"Great." Ling Sifeng swallowed a large cup as he spoke, "It's not bad, but it seems to be a little salty." ”

"Sea grapes are a small jellyfish." "I think I should introduce myself," the old man explained...... How did your friend's face become like this? ”

"I think it's probably the result of culture shock." Shuanghua said, "What did you just say your name was?" ”

"I haven't said it yet. My name is Jahatra, and I am the Director of the Reception Division. It is an honour and I will make sure that you have as comfortable and enjoyable time here as possible. He bowed, "Whatever you want, just ask." ”

Shuanghua sits on an ornate pearl oyster chair with a glass of oily wine in her left hand and a rock sugar squid in her right hand. He frowned.

"Along the way, I was a little confused." "In the beginning," he said, "some people said that you were taking us as slaves......

"These chirps, they're despicable!" Jahatra explained.

"Quack? What is it? Shuanghua asked.

"I think it might be a duck."

Ling Sifeng said from the other end of the long table, "What disgusting things are these cookies made of?" ”

“…… Then, someone did a great deal of magic to save us to ......"

"The biscuits are rolled from seaweed." He was interrupted by the Director of the Reception Division.

“…… But we were quickly threatened, and it was a threat that also cost a lot of magic......"

"yes, I think it's seaweed or something." Ling Sifeng agreed, "It must taste seaweed, but of course, if someone is masochistic enough to taste seaweed and know what it tastes like." ”

“…… Then we were handed over to the guards and pushed here......"

"Very lightly pushed." Jahatra corrected.

“…… But it was so gorgeous, with so much to eat, and some people said that they had to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to ensure the comfort and happiness of both of us. Shuanghua concluded, "I think it's a bit inconsistent, and I can't catch it. ”

"yes." "He means that you're going to be unkind to us again?" It's so good for us now, it's kind of a break, right? ”

Jahatra raised his hands in reassurance.

"Please, please," he retorted, "we're just doing that in the hope of getting you both here as soon as possible." We definitely don't want to treat them as slaves. Don't worry. ”

"Well, that's good." Ling Sifeng said.

"Yes, in fact, you will be sacrificed." Jahatra said calmly.

"Sacrifices? You're going to kill us? The wizard shouted.

"Kill? Yes, of course! If you don't kill it, how can it be considered a sacrifice? But don't worry – it's a relatively painless way to die. ”

"Relatively speaking? Relative to what? Ling Sifeng said. He picked up a green bottle filled with sea grape jellyfish wine and threw it at Jahatra, who raised it with one hand as if to protect himself.
