531 Datang Gathering Cost-effective Land Viewing Delegation (II)
Tang Ping said that the army still had more than two months of food, so the various wealthy clans moved quite quickly, and the grain was quickly raised, and then transported along the waterway to the mouth of Dongyue to the sea.
Naturally, there are also Tang Ping and the people of these families.
When they arrived at the mouth of the sea, Tang Ping invited them to board the warship that had come to escort the grain.
The elder of the Wang family stood next to the Datang Shenwei cannon at the bow of the ship and said: "Who would have thought that my Datang would have such a divine weapon ten years ago!" ”
It was a few of them, and it was the first time that they had approached the Tang Shenwei Cannon so closely.
Tang Ping asked with a smile: "Is Elder Wang willing to take a photo with this Tang Shenwei cannon?" When I return to Chang'an, I will ask someone to wash a photo of you that is exactly the same size as yourself, and hang it at home to definitely save face! ”
When the elder of the Wang family heard this, the wrinkles on his face were all laughing.
They knew about the photo, but few people could easily get one from Tang Ping.
I heard that His Majesty also has a camera there, but they don't have the courage to ask Li Shimin to take pictures of them.
There are also some elders in the family who have a seventy or eighty birthday, and the family has contributed to the court, you can go to the palace and invite the camera out to take a photo of the elders in the family.
"I ...... How do I stand? ”
As the elder of the Wang family, he didn't know how long he hadn't been so nervous.
Thinking that such a photo could be passed on to his children and grandchildren, maybe for hundreds of years, he didn't know what kind of pose he should pose for a while.
"Uh......" Tang Ping is not a professional photographer, and his photography skills are to the point where he can put people in the center and shoot clearly without blurring.
After thinking about it, he pointed out: "Why don't you pat the back of the Tang Shenwei cannon?" ”
The elder of the Wang family, Yiyan, put his hand on it, tried to maintain a serious face and asked, "How about this?" ”
Tang Ping clicked and took a picture of him first, and then showed it to him, and the elder of the Wang family asked a little embarrassed: "Is this ...... It seems that the eyes are not wide enough, can you retake a picture? ”
Anyway, the boat was bored, so Tang Ping agreed and took another picture of him.
The elder of the Wang family was quite satisfied with this one, and after looking at it, he said with a smile: "Then I will wait to go back to Chang'an and ask for a photo from Pingguo Gong." ”
After he finished doing it here, the elder of the Li family came over cheekily and said, "Pingguo Gong, you can't favor one over the other!" ”
This Li family is the Li family in Longxi, and Li Shimin is this Li family.
This clan is Tang Ping's uncle and grandfather.
So Tang Ping smiled and said, "Uncle Cousin, you opened your mouth, can I disagree?" ”
Just this cousin uncle made the old Li family's waist straight.
Although Li Shimin admitted that they were from the Li family in Longxi, he did not let go of the Li family when he suppressed the family.
For Li Shimin, the concentration of imperial power is the most important thing.
Therefore, the Li family usually does not have that feeling of superiority in front of other families, but now Tang Ping personally calls him his cousin, which makes him feel comfortable.
I only feel that the food I donated this time is still a little less.
Told Tang Ping to wait for a while, and then went down and changed into his best clothes and came over again.
The patriarchs and elders of other families are also lining up in the back, and such a good opportunity is not available all the time.
This can be regarded as Tang Ping's gratitude for their contributions.
So the good Datang gathering and cost-effective inspection group really seemed to have become a tour group, and took photos on the Datang warship one by one.
And unlike Tang Ping's many voyages to sea, many people here are really traveling to sea for the first time, or taking a warship for the first time.
So there was freshness everywhere along the way, and the fleet went along the southeast coast to the Qiongzhou naval base.
Tang Ping also took people up to visit, and then continued to set off, all the way along the coastline of Southeast Asia.
After arriving in Tianzhu, he took them to the place where the current Tianzhu Free Liberation Army was located, to feel the local customs.
These families did not come in vain, each family had merchant ships, and soon reached a lot of cooperation with the Tianzhu Free Liberation Army.
For example, exchanging grain for spices they grow, and so on.
They all had a good plan, and the grain they grew in the Nile Plain was brought here, just enough to be exchanged for spices.
Food is not worth much in China, but spices are worth a lot, especially in neighboring countries.
What Silla Baekje including Fuso nobles and wealthy merchants were particularly fond of food made with these spices.
If you want to talk about the cultivation of spices, it really tastes the best in the fields of Tianzhu.
Although the Tianzhu Free Liberation Army can also grow grain, if you grow spices, the spices grown in one acre of land can be exchanged for seven or eight acres of grain.
Then the third stop was to sail along the Red Sea all the way to Egypt.
Stepping here, Li Jing had already sent an army to escort the grain, while Tang Ping continued to accompany these families to inspect the places they were going to rent.
This time, Tang Ping brought all his pickups.
The patriarchs of these families don't mind sitting in the back of the car, but feel that they have a better view here.
First of all, I went to the Nile Plain, and the land here was really the same as Tang Ping showed and said to them, very fertile.
Almost every summer, the Nile River floods, depositing fertile silt on its valley plains, which is indeed unmatched by land in many parts of the country.
Naturally, there were people who farmed here in the past, but in the last decade or so, due to the invasion of the Arab Empire, many people have fled the war.
The Arabs had just ruled here, and some people began to return here, but the Tang Dynasty came again.
Although it is true that Datang will not do anything to the local people, after all, this is a war, and there is a language barrier, so the people here have basically run away again.
Such a fertile soil, Datang is naturally not welcome, if it weren't for the fact that the Datang government really didn't have much spare power to develop, it would not hand over such a good thing to these families.
This kind of endless plain, coupled with the fertile land, is simply the dream land of Chinese people who have the genes of farming engraved in every dNA.
Not to mention that now Datang's mechanization is becoming more and more developed, and there are already steam engine-driven cultivators.
According to Tang Ping, there will be oil-burning cultivators in the future, and it doesn't take much manpower to farm here.
It can even be said to be a good business, so these family elders began to move after stepping here.
"Ping Guogong, let's talk about it, how much can each family rent these land?"
