Chapter 294: Back to the Central Plains
"Brother, please say, little brother must remember!" Seeing that Qin Huaiyu finally spoke, the eldest grandson Chong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a sincere smile.
"The Wa State has experienced wars, officials, rich families have been arrested, and there are only people in the city, so the most suitable thing now is agriculture, and it is now the autumn harvest, and it is imperative for the county guard to complete the tax collection.
After that, it is to adjust the agricultural structure and carry out it in the way of the Tang Dynasty, as for how to do it specifically, it is a matter of the county guard, and it is inconvenient for a certain family to say. Qin Huaiyu took a breath and slowly recalled Feng Daiwen's advice, and said with an indifferent smile.
"Thank you for your advice, the younger brother and others don't understand the language, and I ask my brother to transfer one or two interpreters." The eldest grandson said gratefully.
"Well, I'll bring it to the county guard when I wait for the next person, but the new occupation of the Wa State, only a hundred miles radius has been explored, so it's best not to be too far away from the city." Qin Huaiyu glanced at the Chai brothers, reminded him slightly, and then served tea to the guests.
…………
"Brother! This good life surnamed Qin is unreasonable, and we just came to say that we were hospitality, but we were still sneering. After Chai Lingwu went out, he said indignantly.
"Yes! We are all royal relatives, this is Qin Huaiyu, who simply doesn't give any face. Chai Lingwen also nodded in agreement.
For these two or two goods, the eldest grandson Chong is really speechless, not for his father's sake, it is estimated that no one will take them to play together, the civil and military families are separated, Qin Huaiyu naturally needs to alienate everyone.
"Lingwu took the interpreter to find out what was going on with the previous taxes, and we need to re-customize, appropriately reduce or reduce them, and win people's hearts.
Lingwen, you go and gather the officials, count how many people there are, and what is their position? We need to promote the locals and let them help with the work. "Changsun Chong is not a mediocre talent, and he quickly made a plan.
"But the treasury is empty, how can you buy people's hearts?" Chai Lingwen said embarrassedly.
"Make a promise first, and then keep it." The eldest grandson Chong had a toothache when he mentioned this, and he didn't know whether Qin Huaiyu was intentional or unintentional, except for a little grain, there was nothing left in the treasury, and there was not even much furniture left in the mansion.
…………
Let's say that Feng Daiwen returned to Myitkyina City, it was the end of September, in addition to the food, Feng Daiwen took 3,000 vine armor troops, 15,000 prisoners, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and jade that was scraped and began to return, the only surprise was the discovery of a new fruit, known as the largest fruit in existence - jackfruit.
This means that the Tao is very good, and the fragrance is long-lasting, it should be regarded as a very popular fruit, there are a lot of them in Myitkyina, it is said that Ashoka sent people to pass on the Buddha, bring the seeds, the oldest fruit tree is said to be seven or eight hundred years old, and it is also the most important ration of the local Tu people.
Feng Daiwen picked a large number of them, one as food on the road, and the other planned to bring them back to Lingnan for planting, after all, there are many in Hainan, Guangzhou and other places in the future, as long as this thing does not encounter continuous rain in the flowering season, the yield is very close.
Just like the bananas in Lingnan, now they have begun to be artificially planted, made into dried bananas, the taste is also good, the sales are quite good, and many nobles in Chang'an like to eat them as dried fruits.
Although it began to rain in September, Feng Daiwen still left Wei Chi Baoqing and Cheng Wuting to guard, and slowly drove back with the others, stopping and stopping all the way, and did not return to Wa City until mid-October.
The eldest grandson Chong knew that Feng Daiwen was coming, so he simply pretended to be busy, and didn't even show his face, but he just asked someone to talk about the busy affairs and had no time to separate, and he was setting up a banquet to make amends in the future, Feng Daiwen didn't care, after all, the two of them themselves had no good feelings, and they didn't have to meet to save the snake.
"How long do you need to stay?" Qin Huaiyu entertained them in the barracks with a smile on his face, especially when he saw the jade rough stones carried by thousands of horses, he smiled even more happily.
All the soldiers who went out were very happy to learn that they would be assigned a piece of jadeite, especially the Nanzhao departments, they didn't expect that they also had rewards, and they had been in contact with Datang for a long time, of course, they understood the importance of money, and they also knew that a piece of jadeite was worth a lot of money, at least they could exchange it for a lot of delicious canned food, frosting sugar, and salt.
"Rest for two days and set off without rain." Feng Daiwen smiled and drank a glass of wine with Qin Huaiyu and said.
"Well, there is a swamp a hundred miles away, and there is a lot of black anointment water in it, and the smell is very strong, and several scouts went in to investigate, and accidentally ignited the black water, which lasts for a long time, and I don't know if it is useful." Qin Huaiyu suddenly remembered something and introduced it to Feng Daiwen.
"Oil! How I didn't think of it! Feng Daiwen excitedly put down his wine glass and stood up and said loudly.
"What oil? What is the use? It should be good to see how you react! Qin Huaiyu was also interested, he had never seen Feng Daiwen react so much, and he was very calm when he even saw a large amount of wealth.
"Of course, it is a good thing, and it can be refined a lot, and the simplest thing is that it is used as fuel, and the fuel made cannot be extinguished." Feng Daiwen explained excitedly.
"Okay, you can say it's a good thing, and so-and-so will be guarded." Qin Huaiyu knew that he didn't know about this, but since Feng Daiwen said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing, and out of trust, he immediately had to let people control it.
"There's no need, how to do it still needs experiments, and I'll be doing it when I return to the Central Plains." Feng Daiwen waved his hand and said.
"Nakahara too?" Qin Huaiyu asked unexpectedly.
Of course there is, since ancient times, "Book of Changes": "There is fire in Ze", "upper fire and lower Ze", "Former Han Book, Volume 38, Geography Eighth" cloud: "Dingyang, high slaves, there is confusion in water, and fat can be dipped in." These are all documented, but there is no thought of it. Feng Dewen explained.
"Hey, hey! A certain family doesn't like books and rarely reads them. Qin Huaiyu said with an embarrassed smile.
"It's okay, I was also bored when I was a child, and I saw it in the old books at home." Feng Daiwen remembered that when he was a child, his family was poor and had no other entertainment, and his biggest hobby was to look through the books in the family, and all kinds of miscellaneous books were his favorites.
"Well, all the gold, silver, jewelry, and utensils have been packed and are just waiting to be shipped away, including those mined in the past two months." Qin Huaiyu raised his glass and gestured.
"Okay, when the little brother goes back, he will let people send more supplies, and there will be no shortage of all kinds of materials, how about transferring a little craftsman?" Feng Daiwen said with a smile.
"Very good, very good, the mine produces a lot, there are no craftsmen, relying on the current manpower, the output in a month, can not be done in a year, burning bricks, carpentry is not enough, now the soldiers have become masters, Nanzhao has worked hard, nothing will happen." Qin Huaiyu poured bitter water on Wen Yan.
"Hey, hey! If the merchant knew that he could exchange cheap goods for the gold and silver on the people, how could he not rush to it.
However, if you want to make a fortune, you naturally need to pay, and it is natural to bring some materials in. The corners of Feng Daiwen's mouth rose and said with a smile.
