Chapter 383: Releasing the Signal (Adding a Nickname to the "Fish Eager to Fly")
"When the next crop is replanted, because its hybrid advantage is gone, it can no longer continue to produce rice.
It's like that mule, you know, mule? The product of a cross between a horse and a donkey combines their advantages, but it is impossible to produce offspring.
This hybrid rice is also the same thing, so ......" Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders, signaling that there was nothing he could do about it.
In fact, the implication is to tell the other party that if you want to continue to produce so much, you can buy seeds from me.
Of course, Lin Sen's words are obviously deceitful, the Demon Rice Grandmaster who benefited the whole world in later generations didn't use hybrid rice, and he didn't say that this situation occurred, it wasn't that he deliberately transformed it like this.
It's just that he obviously won't tell the other party about this, and he can give a plausible reason, just fool the past.
It's just to bully you for not reading much, and I don't accept you to bite me!
Although he didn't really understand whether this was the case or not, Feng Zhiji still pretended to have a sudden realization.
Turning his head, he began to ask Lin Sen if he could sell them a batch of rice seeds cheaper, and it was obvious that what he wanted was just a seemingly reasonable excuse.
This matter is equivalent to sending money to Lin Sen, how could he disagree, and happily transfer all the inventory in the barracks to the other party.
During the time when he went out to find Spice Island, the soldiers were not idle, and after training, they planted a crop of super rice, and filled the warehouses in the camp.
The new season is about to start planting again, and it is just right to get the rice seeds out at the same time, of course, there are still some restrictions to be added.
After happily reaching this deal, Feng Zhiji seemed to inadvertently ask about the ship of spices brought back by the Ping'an, maybe this was the real purpose of his trip.
Lin Sen felt that it was just a small business like buying good seeds, and there was no need to dispatch the future "Lingnan King", so he was waiting for himself here.
Compared with the impact of those grains on Lingnan, Feng Ang was obviously more concerned about the lucrative business of the spice business.
Compared with cloves, spices such as nutmeg that are put into food, Lingnan's agarwood should be said to be relatively niche.
Most of those who have fixed consumption habits are either rich or expensive top-level people, and although the price is not cheap, the amount used is relatively limited after all.
And those seasonings are different, who made us a foodie country since ancient times, and naturally more people are willing to spend money in this regard, and the potential can be said to be endless.
How could Feng Ang not covet this, a huge market with almost infinite potential, and it is natural to want to get a piece of the pie.
In this regard, Lin Sen also had to be cautious, such as Hepu and Yazhou, two important port cities, which are also important supply points on the voyage, are all under the actual control of Feng An, and Panyu is actually within his sphere of influence.
His attitude, all those who run the boat must pay attention to it, this is a real stomp on the foot, can make the whole Lingnan tremble.
And the spice business is enough to influence Feng An's attitude, who let it involve so much interest.
Lin Sen put away his relaxed state, and after a little consideration, he cautiously informed Feng Zhiji that he could not give a clear answer to this matter for the time being, and he still needed to seriously discuss it with others before he could give an answer.
When the time comes, whether to cooperate or not, and how to cooperate, both sides can give a framework.
After receiving such a reply, Feng Zhiji knew that the conversation was almost over, and he was very knowledgeable and timely made his resignation.
Lin Sen's approach can be said to be as early as the expectations of their father and son, and the profits involved are indeed very large, but there are more forces behind them, and they also feel that Lin Sen is more like a spokesperson for interests who has been pushed to the forefront, but he is not the one who can make decisions on this matter.
It's just that what can be seen at the moment is that the royal family and a vote of martial arts are involved, and this power is even enough to make the entire Lingnan sky.
So in fact, Feng Ang himself was very cautious in this matter, and he didn't even dare to persecute Lin Sen too much.
The plan to conquer Lingnan in the early years of Zhenguan was not implemented in the end, but it does not mean that the Tang Dynasty, which has already eliminated the enemy in the north, will not set its sights on the south and resume the battle if necessary.
Feng Ang is also a famous general, so he naturally knows that if the army does not fight for a long time, its combat strength will definitely decline, and from time to time he will have to find an enemy to temper it, who knows if Lingnan will be the next touchstone.
Lin Sen's arrival was already a signal in itself, and the martial arts standing behind him were also powerful enough to influence a war.
Moreover, several of them are not far from Lingnan at present, and this arrangement also has a deep meaning.
Therefore, Feng An's move is not so much to get involved, but to try to find the possibility of cooperation, so that everyone has more opportunities for mutual benefit and win-win, instead of turning into a sharp hostile state, which can be regarded as releasing a positive signal.
And judging from the scheming shown by Lin Sen that he had seen, it was more likely that he would regard this temptation as a threat, which would be contrary to his thoughts.
So after getting Lin Sen's reply that he wanted to discuss with others, Feng Zhiji was actually very relieved, so the chance of his family being misunderstood should be much smaller.
Of course, you can't put all your hopes on Lin Sen, a notoriously tenacious fierce general, and someone in the Feng family has actually gone to his father-in-law Cheng Yanjin to make peace.
The real big guy is not far from Lingnan at this time, and Zhang Shigui is the same.
It was precisely because he saw their restrained posture that Feng Ang decisively gave up his plan to continue to embarrass Lin Sen, and simply sold the people from the family and gave so many good things. in exchange for Lin Sen's understanding.
And here Lin Sen did not arbitrarily draw conclusions, but explained the matter to the stewards of those families as it was, and also informed the people in his caravan that he wanted to bring the news to Li Shimin.
Whether or not someone reports to him is one thing, and whether or not to report to him is another, which represents his own attitude.
It just so happened that these people in the caravan, because of the goods on the Ping'an for trading, quickly purchased enough good things, and they were ready to pack up their things and go back to Chang'an.
The stewards of the other families are a little eager to bring back the great news of the Spice Island to their respective masters, and this time they will still choose to go together, with their strength, I don't think any of the thieves will run to find death.
After sending off those people in the caravan, Lin Sen's soldiers could finally relax, and they were left without those priceless goods in the barracks.
And Lin Sen also gave them some benefits, which was not in vain for them to help with the work.
Of course, Lin Sen pushed this matter to the secret decree, and he would also report it to Li Shimin to know, and Jun Sima also recorded it, so he didn't have to leave the excuse of inviting people to buy people's hearts.
arranged for these soldiers to continue to grow super rice, and Lin Sen himself took the guards and went to the shipyard again.
Because the next new seagoing ship with the auxiliary hull removed, but about the same length, has entered the final stage of construction and assembly.
