How much his words will make waves in the palace, and how many people are staring at this position, Li Yuanjia doesn't care at all, and he doesn't care.

All he cares about is the result, that is, whether he can find Champa rice as soon as possible.

But no matter how urgent you are, you must wait patiently after all.

Because Li Yuanjia now has a very good understanding of the ancient traffic conditions, he knows that even on the great plains in the north, a thousand miles is a very long journey, and it is quite dangerous for a person. What's more, if you want to find Champa rice, you have to go to the south, which is considered a dangerous place by the people of the Central Plains...... Or even Southeast Asia?

From ancient times to the present, even exiled prisoners can't go there!

During the Tang Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River was considered a "remote" place, especially Sichuan, Guizhou in the southwest, Liangguang and Hainan in Lingnan, which were all places of exile. Generally speaking, if the Central Plains people committed a crime and wanted to be exiled, they were all sent there, and the heavier the crime, the more they went south.

The cochin section is basically the southernmost point.

However, Champa rice obviously had to go south, otherwise it would not have been introduced to China until the time of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Yuanjia must be patient enough, whether it is three years, five years, or even ten years, he must wait patiently. On the one hand, there is a heavy reward, if a thousand is not enough, it will be 2,000, 3,000, or even 10,000; On the other hand......

"Or, organize an expedition?"

Suddenly remembering the feat of those Europeans who discovered the New World more than a thousand years later, Li Yuanjia was a little itchy all over his body - he didn't have the courage to go in person, after all, the tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia are too terrible, and the Europeans in the 19th century have suffered enough there, not to mention that it is only the seventh century?

But paying for others to take risks, Li Yuanjia doesn't care.

Hehe, isn't it just money?

Thinking that the valley outside the city had expanded several times and the construction of the glass workshop was in its final stages, Li Yuanjia was ambitious and full of confidence.

Now everything is ready, and it is only a matter of the dozens of craftsmen who are being rigorously trained. By the end of August, the training of 40 glassmakers will be completed as planned, and the valley will continue to produce more glass.

At that time, are you afraid that there will be no money available?

is still the same sentence, there will be brave men under the heavy reward!

When the time comes, just take a hundred pieces of glass and sell it, I'm afraid it will be enough to organize a "death squad". Then arm the team, or cross it by land, or build a boat to float along the coastline!

Is it difficult to find some rice seeds for Champa rice?

Think about it again, not only this Champa rice, but also corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, can they also be obtained in this way in the future?

And the wool on the steppe, the cordyceps on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is it the same?

And......

"Can the spirit of adventure be cultivated in this way?"

The deeper he thought, the brighter Li Yuanjia's eyes became, and the ten fingers of his hands shook uneasily.

Pioneering, enterprising!

From a small tribe to a huge country, especially to the extent of the Qiang Han and the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation has never lacked this quality, let alone this spirit. Even when it came to the weak Song Dynasty, which was criticized by countless people, they still completed the development of Jiangnan...... Although this development is somewhat passive, no one can deny that it is not?

However, hundreds of years later, this spirit of Huaxia was slowly lost.

Li Yuanjia was not a thinker, and his understanding of history was very limited, and it was difficult to accurately summarize the reasons for this, but he once saw a theory that when China's territory was large enough to be met internally.

As a result, their need for external needs is minimized.

Especially for the top strata of society, whatever they want, they can be satisfied in this land, and naturally there is no idea of expanding outward...... Moreover, the steppes in the north, the Gobi Desert and the Tibetan Plateau in the west, the primeval forests in the south, and the sea in the east eventually helped to lead to this result.

Nearly 1,000 years have finally exhausted the bloody nature and enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation......

If nothing else, no one will be able to change this trend.

However, Li Yuanjia came.

Of course, his power alone is very small, but what if you add the knowledge that will be in the heads of future people?

The Song Dynasty got the Champa rice, developed the rich Jiangnan, and made China's population break through the 100 million mark, but it was still abused by the Liao, Jin and Mongols, and even the Western Xia dared to come up and slap him twice!

So, what if it was the Tang Dynasty that got the Champa rice?

There are also sheep that can eat people on the steppe, countless spices and gold on the southeast sea...... Even the western plateau is full of treasures!

Can these things Chinese the enterprising spirit...... Okay, let's just put it more bluntly, can we hook up their greed?

"As long as there are enough interests, where can you not be tempted?"

Finally, after taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia's gaze became firm.

No matter what era it is, greedy people are always the majority, and those who are not greedy are nothing more than not seeing hope. Now that Datang has him as a traverser, and he is also a prince, is it difficult to find some hope for them?

Just when Li Yuanjia's heart was surging, one after another, Chunyan had quietly returned: "King, dinner is ready." ”

"Hmm...... Let's go, eat! ”

Standing up and stretching, Li Yuanjia glanced at Han Lucheng who was standing next to him: "Okay, you can also go down to eat quickly, and go to the glass workshop with this king early tomorrow morning to have a look......

"Yes, King!"

After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Han Lucheng hurriedly nodded.

After waiting for a long time, he was really hungry at this time.

If it was when his father Han Shan was still by the king's side, there was no need to say that he would definitely insist on serving the king after dinner before leaving and going to his hut to eat something. But Han Lucheng knew that the king didn't like this, so he had been used to obeying orders a long time ago, and when it was time to go, he had to go happily, and the hot king who was grinding and chirping was not happy.

However, before leaving, Han Lucheng suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped: "King, there is one more thing, I have to report it to you." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

At this time, his mind was on dinner, and Li Yuanjia asked casually as he got up.

"It's the cement that you've been trying to make, and it seems that they have found a good new recipe recently, and the paved road is very strong, and it's still ......the same as new after more than a month."
