In later generations, Sun Xiangfu did not have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam, so after setting foot on this land for the first time, he was still a little curious, at this time there was no unified royal power here, and many tribes controlled the land here, on the coast, many coconut trees, and on the beach, some of the people of Jiaozhi who only wore a single piece of clothing, saw a big ship like the Happiness approaching, and were a little dazed.

Because the weather was too hot, the people here were all lazy, Sun Xiangfu asked Feng Ang to send a young man named Zi Chieftain to communicate with these Jiaozhi people, and he didn't know what the kid was talking to those Jiaozhi people, so he turned around happily and said, "Master Sun, they have food, as long as the adults are willing to give them this kind of cool cloth to wear on their bodies, they will change it." ”

Zi Chieftain shook a piece of silk sermon on his crotch, this guy, since Sun Xiangfu saw him, he has been shirtless, and he likes to walk birds when he has nothing to do, Sun Xiangfu couldn't see it, so he got a piece of cool silk shorts for him, but he didn't want to, as soon as he went ashore, his crotch cloth was looked down upon by the Jiaozhi people.

"How do you change it?" Sun Xiangfu asked.

"They said that if we gave each of them a piece of such cloth, they would let us fill the boat, but we would have to harvest it ourselves."

It's no wonder that the sub-chief is smiling, there are only a hundred people on this beach, more than a hundred pieces of crotch cloth for a boatload of food, there is no more cost-effective deal than this, they don't know, how big the internal space of this happiness hidden under the water is, but it can hold 10,000 stones!

"Tell them that if they can take me to their best growing fields, I'll have something better for them, and if they can help with the harvest, I'll give them at least two of these garments."

After a while, the sub-chief went over to pass the word, ran back again, and nodded, "They agreed, but the distance is a bit far, we need to give them cloth first, and they will use elephants to take us there." ”

"Okay, Zhao Long, give them the two pieces of silk that were cut into pieces, and in addition, arrange for thirty people to wear armor and bring weapons, come with me, Jun Mai, you follow me and protect me closely."

Soon, the silk quilt chieftains were distributed to the Jiaozhi people on the beach, and the leader of these people, a black-faced and yellow-toothed man named Bamu, was also happily brought to Sun Xiangfu.

"Chief Zi, tell him that if we get what we want this time, we will not treat him badly, and the things in this small bottle are a greeting gift."

Sun Xiangfu took out a small porcelain bottle with a strong smell of wine, pulled out a cork on the thin bottle mouth, beckoned Ba Mu to come over, and then poured out some alcohol with a floral fragrance and wiped it on Ba Mu's forehead and temples.

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu had stuffed the cork and handed the bottle to himself, Bamu bent down happily to thank him and whistled, and suddenly, the sound of an elephant roaring came from the jungle behind the beach.

Flower water is a way for Sun Xiangfu to come up with a way to deal with mosquitoes in Lingnan these days, anyway, after the distilled liquor was made out by Wangjianglou, a lot of alcohol was naturally made, as a healing reserve, and a lot of it was also brought on the Happiness, but Li Shimin was afraid that it would be too much waste of food, so the amount of wine-making in Wangjianglou was limited, so high-grade wine could not prevail in Datang at the moment.

After a while, heavy footsteps sounded, and more than a dozen elephants walked out of the mountain forest in turn.

"This, that's what you call an elephant? Sure enough, it's tall. ”

Xi Junmai just saw the size of the elephant, so he dispelled the previous idea of wanting to compete with it, such a big man, I'm afraid it is not ten thousand catties.

Adult Asian elephants weigh almost five tons, that is, about 10,000 catties, just press, can also crush people to death, and elephants are very sensitive to sound, often able to communicate with the same kind more than ten kilometers away, in the era when people do not hunt a large number of elephants, the number of elephants is very large, and in Jiaozhi and Nanzhao and other places, regard elephants as totem beasts, much more noble than the identity of the Tang Dynasty's cattle farming, so, elephants can be seen everywhere here.

"When we leave, let's take a few baby elephants back to raise them."

Sun Xiangfu is not as afraid of elephants as Xi Junmai and Zhao Long, because he knows that the domesticated elephants have a gentle temperament and a high IQ, second only to several orangutans and wide-billed dolphins, and have the intelligence of children who are almost four or five years old. After seeing Bamu's love for flower water, he felt that it should be possible to trade in flower water for baby elephant cubs.

Riding in the rattan woven basket, in fact, I don't feel much bumpy, at the request of Sun Xiangfu, Bamu also chopped a few coconuts for them as a thirst-quenching drink, if you can have a pair of sunshade glasses, this is exactly the same as the travel and vacation in the future.

If South America is the darling of the heavens, then the land of Jiaozhi is the darling of Asia, Bamu and a few of his subordinates sit lazily on the ivory to guide the way, and Sun Xiangfu finds many treasures here from both sides of the road.

Wild white medicine is everywhere, it is difficult for a person to embrace the golden silk nan, agarwood, here is also growing in patches, although at this time these wood does not have the price comparable to gold in later generations, but these things are very collectible, living in a house made of agarwood furniture, Sun Xiangfu feels that he can live for many more years, these are all wealth!

"Jun buy, I have a feeling that I want to make the most profitable business in my life."

"Uh, two batches of silk for 10,000 stone of grain?" Xi Junmai, who had been looking at the elephant team back and forth, was a little stunned.

"It's not."

"So, exchange a bottle of toilet water for an elephant?"

"Not really."

"What is that?"

"Exchange a piece of silk or a bottle of flower water for tens of thousands of catties of gold." Sun Xiangfu said proudly.

"Tens of thousands of catties of gold? You're not dreaming! The people in this place are so poor that they can't even afford to wear clothes, how can there be so much gold, not to mention, the women are all bare-chested, which is also very good. ”

"Vulgar, I don't know, I don't see it, that agarwood with a thick water tank has been put down at least several tons, tens of thousands of catties, this thing will be much more expensive than gold in the future."

"Wood, more expensive than gold? Are you stupid or am I stupid? ”

"I can't explain it to you clearly, just that agarwood tree just now, without tens of thousands of years of growth, it is impossible to grow to such a big ······"

Sun Xiangfu gushed endlessly to instill the benefits of agarwood to Xi Junmai, and said that Xi Junmai wanted to pull out a knife and cut down trees.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until we have finished the grain planting thing, and then find a way to get these trees, the things here can be planted in most places in Lingnan, and in the future, we will transplant more soil and roots."

The nature of the soil, although there is no professional instrument, but with Sun Xiangfu's experience, it is not difficult to distinguish a rough, good rice these things are to be passed on, but this agarwood, rosewood and the like, but can be left to pass on to future generations, when the time comes, pick a suitable place in Lingnan, and then plant an agarwood forest out, passed on from generation to generation, as long as the descendants are not too loser, they will generally be more and more rich.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu, who was doing beautiful fantasies, was taken by Bamu to a mountain col, where the ground was wet, there were mountain streams flowing through, and a large area of rice was not planned, and it grew here like a weed.

"The spike is long and the grain difference is small, that's it. It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have a corresponding Wenzhi after conquering Jiaozhi, and if the south was well managed, the strength of the Han nation would crush any foreign race. ”

In Sun Xiangfu's view, this kind of rice should have been implemented in the entire Han Dynasty as early as 800 years ago, but it is a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time only knew how to fight, and did not have the same mind as Li Shimin to integrate all ethnic minorities, otherwise, there would be so many ethnic minorities rebelling later, and even entering the Central Plains. You must know that the basic conditions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are many times better than Li Shimin, not only do he have rich reserves left by his ancestors, but also the population of the ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty during that period is less than half of the Han people, and it is easy to divide and integrate the period.

And Li Shimin, from the beginning of fighting the world, has taken the path of defeating the strong with the weak, conquered one powerful enemy after another with a strong sense of cultural tolerance, and finally made a big step forward for Chinese civilization.

Sun Xiangfu was reborn in this brilliant era, and he must contribute to this era, occupy the city with rice in hand, and first grow food that can feed the people of the world, then it is not far from ruling the world, and this world refers to all the places below the sky.

"Chieftain, tell them that when harvesting rice, as long as there are full ears of wheat, put them in the bags we brought, let the elephants carry them back to the docks, and our people can walk back when the time comes."

With Sun Xiangfu's order, including the guards he brought, they also began to get busy, and the successful introduction of this rice is of great significance, Sun Xiangfu also said on the way to the road that once this kind of grain is grown in Lingnan with a high yield, what they did as a group may be recorded in the history books and praised by future generations.

Even though the weather was very hot, it could not resist everyone's enthusiasm for harvesting, and soon, the bags full of ears of wheat were carried to the back of the elephant one by one, and an elephant carrying one or two thousand catties of rice began to walk towards the dock.

Twenty or thirty thousand catties of rice is enough for Sun Xiangfu to plant all the more than 50,000 acres of paddy fields he has opened, but Sun Xiangfu has no intention of stopping harvesting, there are too many places in Lingnan suitable for planting Zhancheng rice, even if he is not as intensive as himself, take it back and sow it, he can grow a lot of grain, so he talked to Bamu about hiring their elephants to work, and buying their baby elephant cubs, it went well, he only used a few silk horses and a few bottles of toilet water to negotiate this matter.
