Chapter 320: The Three Treasures of Lingnan Women Heroes
"However, although there are many fruits in the mountains, they rot after a few days of picking, and they cannot be preserved at all, and there are few locals in Lingnan, so it is not easy to pick and transport them in the mountains, so I know that there are fruits all over the ground, and no one thinks that these can be used to make money." Feng Ang explained.
"That was in the past, Feng Gong, in terms of fruit preservation, where there is a technology called canning, the fruit can be processed and made into a good thing that can be stored for three to half a year, so that there is no need to worry about storage, within three months, it is enough to transport it from Lingnan to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, when the time comes, no matter the summer heat, or the cold winter of Sanjiu, you can eat rare fruits in the south, but you don't know such a precious thing, what should be the price?"
Everyone swallowed and spat at the mouth, the southern fruits, originally due to rarity and transportation problems, a very small amount of them were transported to the north that would be more expensive than gold, and now there is a way to supply them in winter? How is it priced? How many times?
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Bai Fan's head, and scolded with a smile: "When it comes to making money, you kid is this profiteer's face, you come up with such a strategy to get rich in Lingnan, not to make money in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, if you can't enter thousands of households at a price that the people of Datang can pay, you will never be able to make a fortune just by counting on rare sales." ”
Everyone thought that this old man was afraid that Feng Ang would slaughter the Tang Dynasty at a high price in the future, so he taught Bai Fan openly and secretly signaled to Feng An, but Bai Fan nodded again and again, "You old wisdom, although this thing is rare, it is not a fresh fruit after all, and the way to get rich is what the old man said, you need to let it enter thousands of households in the Tang Dynasty."
As for wanting to sell it to a few people as a treasure, I think it is very suitable for the foreign nobles around the Tang Dynasty, when the ground is full of yellowness in winter, if this thing cannot be sold to foreign countries at the price of gold, it is a dereliction of duty by the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Everyone laughed, this is reasonable, Datang is surrounded by jackals, why should they be polite to them?
"Let's talk about this second treasure, that is, the grain of Lingnan, the climate of Lingnan is hot and humid, this place is rich in rice, two crops a year and are quite high, I also know that there is a place in the south of Lingnan, where the rice is three crops a year, and the grain yield is extremely high.
The key is that there are not many people in Lingnan, manpower has not been developed, although there is abundant food but there are still people who can't eat, my second way, is to encourage the people to eat a variety of food under the premise that everyone in Lingnan is full, like transporting fruits, the extra grain will be transported to the north of the grain shortage place, which can not only give the people one more livelihood, but also solve part of the problem of food shortage in Datang. ”
"Although this proposal is a good idea, but the population of Lingnan is not large, and most of them are barbarians and uncivilized, and the people who can really grow grain for a living with peace of mind are less than fifty percent. Feng Ang said worriedly.
Bai Fan smiled and took out a booklet from his arms, handed it over and explained: "This is a policy of reassuring the people and rejuvenating agriculture in Fan's handbook, specifically for Lingnan, in fact, most of those wild people in the mountains are the blood of the ancient relics, because they were afraid of the dangers of the outside world, they avoided living in the mountains when they were ancestors, and they did not dare to come out for a long time, and they left behind the skills of planting for a living, so they could only feed on the mountains and forests, and make a living by going out of the mountains and looting."
In fact, the other party's request is very simple, that is, to live, to continue the race, we sincerely invite them to come out to be naturalized people, give them fields and food, teach them to plant means of survival, over time, these people are good people of my Tang Dynasty, the reason why Lingnan has been wild and difficult to govern for many years is because both sides look at each other with hatred. ”
Feng Ang took the strategy and began to read it carefully on the spot, everyone did not bother, and after a long time, Feng An, who closed the booklet, laughed and said: "It turns out that Jian Zhi has a good strategy for Anbang, and this plan is definitely an excellent strategy to rejuvenate the people, and it is simply tailored for Lingnan." Hundreds of years of local problems have been settled by you in one volume, Jane's talent, Feng admires.
Now it seems that you are a bamboo in your chest and intend to test the dog? ”
Bai Fan said with a smile: "Second Prince Feng, talented and intelligent, is a rare talent, and he is also very optimistic about it, so I want to try where his limit is, so I can teach him according to his aptitude." ”
"And what is this third treasure?" Li Yuanba asked.
"The third treasure is the wood I asked Feng Sangongzi to find, I asked him to record the origin of various woods and mark them for future use, in fact, it is for this third way.
Good trees are good wood, what I value most is that there are good shipbuilding timber in Lingnan, and Datang wants to build a navy, which I discussed with Your Majesty before leaving, because the wealth overseas is endless, and once the sea is opened, even if you take the sea route to the north to transport goods, it will be much more convenient.
It's just that this sea ship needs a big ship, I have a peerless sea ship, I need the best wood and the best boatman to make it, Lingnan has wood, the Mo family elite in my hands has been studying the sea ship for more than a year, just waiting for the materials to be ready, start shipbuilding, the sea ship is out, the dragon boat of the former Sui Emperor is a small sampan in our eyes. ”
This!
Everyone was shocked by Bai Fan again, is the dragon boat a small sampan? How big is that ship? Ship? Everyone has seen a seafaring ship, how big can it be?
But at this time, Bai Fan did not explain in detail, everyone had a reception and feast, and they were very hearty, and early the next morning, they were led by Feng Ang all the way to the capital of Lingnan.
Ten days later, everyone rushed from Shaozhou to Lingnan City, and all the local officials in Lingnan attended the welcoming ceremony for Li Yuan, and Feng Ang personally took Li Yuan to play in Lingnan for three days.
On this day, Li Yuan proposed to pay homage to Feng An's grandmother, the heroine - Mrs. Xian!
didn't bring extra manpower, just Feng An, Li Yuan, Li Yuanba, Bai Fan, and Li Chengqian.
Mrs. Xian, is a native of Gaoliang, Guangdong, and later married to Feng Bao, who was too shou Feng Bao at that time, and helped Chen Baxian, the first lord of the Chen Dynasty, to quell the rebellion when she was in the Chen Dynasty, and was named 'Protecting Mrs. Hou' by the Chen Dynasty.
In the ninth year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, after learning of the fall of the Chen Dynasty, Mrs. Xian led the people to join the Great Sui, broke Xu Fan's blockade and resistance, and welcomed the Sui to bring Wei Xun into Guangzhou, making a significant contribution to the unification of the Great Sui.
Ten years of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Panyu slang marshal Wang Zhongxuan and the indigenous chieftain Chen Fozhi opposed Sui, Mrs. Xian "raised troops in Shuaitang Village to save Guangzhou", killed Chen Fozhi, and met with Sui general Lu Yuan, joined forces to defeat Wang Zhongxuan, after the war was calmed down, Mrs. Xian personally escorted the edict Pei Ju to inspect all parts of Lingnan, soothe the rebellion, and the leaders of the states came out to welcome and consult, and once again maintained the unity of the country.
These deeds all show the outstanding exploits of this heroine, and later generations were praised by Premier Zhou as: "The first Chinese heroine!" ”
And before she died, she also left a warning to the descendants of the Feng family: Chinese orthodoxy!
This is precisely why no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, the Feng family always sticks to Lingnan and does not participate in the struggle for hegemony, nor does it establish itself as the king, just because this family is so upright.
Li Yuan and others solemnly saluted this heroine, although Li Yuan was the emperor, but he still performed the gift of the younger generation to the predecessors, and the salute was very respectful, so that Feng An, who was following on the side, was even more convinced.
After everyone worshiped Mrs. Xian, they didn't leave in a hurry, but were stopped by Bai Fan, seeing his solemn appearance, Li Yuan knew that there was something important to say, and he was dissatisfied, and reprimanded: What major event has to be said in a place like the ancestral temple? So what do you need to do in the chamber? What should I do if I disturb the heroic spirits of my ancestors?
