Li Xiang couldn't take his eyes off the next to the plant in front of him that was not too tall, but had already grown many small red fruits on the vine branches, and kept laughing.

Wei Zheng knew that it must be something good, so he also looked at it and began to laugh. Li Xiangzheng fantasized that he would be able to eat good things again in the future, but he was awakened by Wei Zheng's laughter, and asked with an unhappy face, "What are you laughing at?" Do you know what it is? ”

Wei Zheng's eyes widened and said, "I don't know, but Du Wei smiled, it must be a good thing, it seems to be edible, then I can also eat it in the future?" I was happy for the captain, so I laughed! ”

Seeing that Wei Zheng was very tight, Li Xiang lost his temper, turned back to Debis and said, "What is this thing called in your place?" ”

Debis knew that Li Xiang had taken a fancy to this kind of thing, so he said: "Don't hide it from Master Li, this kind of thing was also purchased by us from a businessman who went south to the sea. ”

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled: "I thought that Persia already had this kind of delicious food, it seems that you haven't eaten it either, okay, does the merchant who went south to sea have anything else?" Li Xiang was anxious to know what else could be found.

"Adults go inside, there are some unsightly things, all at the top." Debbies gestured to the innermost area.

Li Xiang strode in, but Sherkes walked in front of the Forgotten Fruit and looked at it for a long time, not knowing what the use of this flower-like and fruit-like thing was, and followed in.

When Li Xiang got inside, he knew that he had found the baby. Li Xiang saw at a glance the corn with long ears hanging and bending over (Note 1), and knew in his heart that the southbound merchant must have gone somewhere in the Americas, so he could bring back these seeds, which were very rare at that time.

He touched the corn and saw that the pole was much taller than him, and that the corn had begun to set ears the size of a palm, and he was already thinking that he would collect all these seeds this autumn and try to plant them next spring.

Li Xiang went around again, didn't let go of everything, observed carefully, tripped over something under his feet, and almost fell. When he looked down, he didn't leave, the things that stumbled over him were gray, like a stone, others didn't know it, but he knew it, it was clearly a potato!

Li Xiang squatted down and carefully brushed away the surrounding soil slowly, confirming that it was a potato, and this time he almost wanted to scream. This is grain, high-yield grain, with him, not to mention the army, even the people are starving to death, and they are about to die of happiness in their hearts, but their faces are still as calm as possible, and they turned around and asked, "These are also brought by the southbound merchant, right?" ”

Debis nodded, saw that Li Xiang's face was very red, and said in her heart: "It seems that these are all good things, and we will have to cultivate more in the future." Li Xiang stood up and said: "That's it, I'm going to go out recently, the things you have here, the ones I just saw, are all well cultivated, and I will buy them when I come back, and if you can meet the southbound merchant, let him come and see me, and I can tell him how to make a fortune." ”

Sherkses stopped doing it, and immediately said: "Dear Lord Li, we can also find good things for you, don't you also tell us how to get rich?" ”

Li Xiang smiled when he heard this: "What I said about getting rich is not what you think, there are a lot of good things in the place where the southbound businessman goes, if he understands, he will get rich, and if he doesn't understand, he thinks it's useless." Your wealth is not there, wait until you bring me back the cucumber seeds, and I will tell you how to make a fortune in Annamchenla. ”

"Good!" Scherkes agreed without hesitation. Thinking about the humiliating life after being annexed by other families, he decided to follow Li Xiang in the future, this Sui Dynasty official who was more than twenty years younger than him, did have an ability that others did not have, and he believed that following Li Xiang could restore their family's former glory.

The things were almost seen, and Li Xiang walked towards the door, but when he was about to reach the door, Li Xiang was attracted by a red plant and walked over quickly. When everyone looked over, Debis smiled and said, "Master Li also likes this string of red moons!" ”

"Red Moon?" Li Xiang was amused by her name, but when he turned his head, he saw that the pepper was really like a red moon now, with both ends pointy, so he said, "That's right, it's quite good, and I will keep this one too." Then he turned and walked out.

Outside, Li Xiang said goodbye to Sherkes, and Debis stuffed Li Xiang with a bag. Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and was about to open it, but Sherkses hurriedly stopped and whispered: "Go back and see, go back and see." ”

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, but didn't insist, nodded, said goodbye to the two, and got into their carriage and went back to Taishou Mansion.

As soon as he arrived in the house, Li Xiang couldn't wait to open the bag to see what it was, and suppressed the urge to open it all the way.

The bag is not big, but the weight is not light, and when he opened the mouth of the bag and looked inside, Li Xiang was stunned. A bag full of gemstones, and diamonds!

Li Xiang is not a person who likes money, he has no shortage in his previous life, and he has no shortage in this life, but when he sees so many diamonds, his heart still fluctuates. These are all loose diamonds, and it seems that the grade should not be low, if it was left in that era, it must be sky-high.

I grabbed a piece casually and glanced at the light, pure, without impurities, refracting dazzling light. Li Xiang let out a long breath, I don't know why Sherkses gave him this, is this the reward for him to help revive the family, it doesn't feel like it, after all, nothing has started yet, just a word.

Why is that? Li Xiang couldn't figure it out.

He poured out all the diamonds in the bag and counted how many there were, and thought about making a necklace for Sanssouc, when he suddenly found a small note in the middle of the diamonds.

Li Xiang picked up the note, read it carefully, and finally understood why, with a smile on his face, he put the note on the oil lamp and lit it, and said in his heart: "It turns out that there is such a thing." He didn't think about anything else, but continued to count the diamonds, put them away, and lay down on the couch to rest.

On the second day, Li Xiang went out to see his own shop again, and met Gao Yu, another genius who managed a toy store in Luoyang, and talked to him about some business things.

In the afternoon, Li Xiang went to see Yang Tong, the king of Yue, alone, talked for a long time, and went back after having dinner in the palace of the king of Yue.

Early in the morning of the third day, Li Xiang gathered the special team of the Volunteer Army, said goodbye to Yuwen Chengdu, and set off for the Tiger Prison Pass to inspect the work.

This time is different from the last time he went to Mengjin to save his father, Li Xiang also played a full guard of honor and went out on a high-profile patrol, and the local officials everywhere he went also came out to greet him, and Li Xiang also took this opportunity to have a good understanding of the development of different customs and customs in the area under his jurisdiction.

Out of Luoyang to the north is to return to Luocang, that time, the situation is urgent, the sword slashed Su Rong, back to Longmen sent an official to temporarily take over the cangshou. Later, Yang Guang received Li Xiang's recital, and re-sent a squire from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take over.

As soon as I came this time, I first met Yang Zongze, the general who guarded the warehouse. After this period of cultivation, Yang Zongze regained his former spirit, and bowed to Li Xiangna's head as soon as he saw him.

Li Xiang smiled and asked him to get up and ask about the situation back in Luocang, and then asked him how his body was. Yang Zongze is grateful to Li Xiang, last time Li Xiang was afraid that he would be blamed, so he personally killed Su Rong and saved his life, he always kept it in his heart, thinking that he must repay Li Xiang if he had the opportunity.

As soon as Li Xiang asked, Yang Zongze said: "Lord Li, in fact, there will be no situation here, it is close to Luoyang, Mengjin is in the north, and there are mountains on both sides, even if the thieves want to come to grab grain, it is not so easy." ”

Li Xiang nodded, and followed him into the small city, the current city guard is still on the way here, so this is still Yang Zongze's largest, and he set up a lot of tables for Li Xiang and his party to catch the wind.

During the banquet, Cheng Biting Jin and Yang Zongze chatted about speculation, laughing from time to time, Li Xiang felt that this Cheng Biting Jin and anyone could hit it off at first sight.

After eating, everyone chatted for a while, Li Xiang got up and went back to the room to rest, but Yang Zongze followed Li Xiang to the room.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Zongze knelt down and said: "Lord Li, you saved my life last time, and I have nothing to repay, and now there is no danger here, and I am not a person who sits and enjoys comfort, I beg your lord to take me in and follow your lord." ”

Li Xiang liked this honest man in his heart, and it could be seen from Yang Zongze's prestige among his subordinates that day that he was a good general. But after thinking about it, returning to Luocang was quite important to Luoyang, and its location happened to be an important place to attack Luoyang from the north.

If you really need to attack Luoyang in the future, this is a place where soldiers must fight, and now Yang Zongze wants to take refuge in him, it is better to let him stay here and guard this place for himself, which is more important than following him.

After thinking about it a lot, Li Xiang called him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were a very good general, and I also wanted to take you with me. But now I'm going to inspect the Tiger Prison Pass, and I can't leave it without an owner for a day, I mean you still stay here, I promise that after two years, there will be a place for you, I don't know what you think? ”

Yang Zongze was a little disappointed, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Li Xiang saw his heart and said: "Of course, if you definitely want to follow me, it's okay, but you are familiar with the situation here, maybe I will be useful to you in the future, if I temporarily change someone to come here, it may still take a while to get used to it." ”

Yang Zongze also knew that what Li Xiang said was from his heart, so he thought about it and said: "The end of the adult knows, the last general will stay here for two years, and the adult will come back to bring the last general after two years." ”

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Maybe it won't take two years, who knows the way of this world?" ”

Yang Zongze's eyes suddenly lit up, he seemed to hear what Li Xiang meant, and asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, in fact, if you want to ......"

"Don't say it, it's not time yet, just stay here with peace of mind, if there is anything, you can tell me at any time, and I will arrange it." Li Xiang interrupted him.

"The Admiral understands!" Yang Zongze is not stupid, he has said it like this, he already knows what Li Xiang is going to do, but he is very happy in his heart, Li Xiang can tell him such a head-killing thing, which means that he has regarded him as his own.

After Yang Zongze went out, Li Xiang sighed and said to himself: "I don't know if this choice is right or wrong." ”

Corn (Note 1): Introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty, as well as sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins, all of which came from the Americas. Here is a little in advance, for the needs of the plot, readers understand.
