"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ......!"

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......!"

Ying Feiyu had just entered Huayang Hall with his front foot, and Ying Zheng also followed closely behind and walked in with Lian'er.

Today's banquet is to celebrate Ying Feiyu's ascension to the crown prince, and it is also to celebrate Daqin's successor!

The ministers were in high spirits and offered salutes.

"Alright, let's all take a seat!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.

Queen Lian'er is at the same table with her!

Xiao Zhengtai's table is next to the two of them!

If it is before the change, without the special request of Yingzheng, the seats of the princes are arranged in the order of the eldest and youngest.

And now it's different, Ying Feiyu was made the crown prince, among the princes, the status is the most noble, even the eldest son Fusu saw him, he had to bow his hand first, so the location is naturally the closest to Ying Zheng!

When Lian'er saw her son, she smiled slightly, her eyes full of love!

At first, he didn't approve of letting his son be the prince, but he was persuaded by Yingzheng together, and in the end he could only agree!

"Flying Feather! Your kid is now the prince, you can't be greedy for fun in the future, you have to think about my Daqin everywhere! ”

After two glasses of wine, Ying Zheng was already slightly drunk and said with a smile.

"Father, since the son came to Daqin, what is the reason why he is not thinking about the Great Qin Jiangshan Society?"

Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and replied.

Now that he has become the prince, the things he did before cannot be said to have been invented to make his life better.

It has to be said in a high-sounding manner as before!

"Haha! That's right! I'm just talking! ”

Ying Zheng smiled slightly embarrassedly.

Lian'er also saw his embarrassment, and put a piece of braised pork on his plate at the right time, and said two words to alleviate this embarrassment!

The ministers also buried their heads in eating the dishes on their tables, pretending that they didn't see anything, didn't hear anything!

"Hmmm! Your Majesty is so blessed, the craftsmanship of this imperial dining room is really getting better and better! ”

"No! This fried winter melon is refreshing and delicious, as well as the braised pork, which is fat and lean, plus various spices, there is no trace of meat smell in the process, and the meat aroma is maximized! ”

"yes, that's a wonderful spice!"

……

In order to help the boss alleviate the embarrassment, the ministers have introduced the topic to the dishes.

"Spices are indeed a good thing, but unfortunately there are too few, and the prices on the market are very high, and the dining room is reluctant to use it on weekdays, haha!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile, not taking Xiao Zhengtai's words seriously just now.

Anyway, it's not the first time this kid has spoken to himself like this, just get used to it!

"Father wants spices?"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes suddenly lit up.

A few days ago, Huang Yuan said that a lot of steamships were built, but the imperial court never moved.

There are only two ways to make the court move.

One is war.

But now the hair gun has not been made, and I don't want to support Yingzheng to launch a war in the West for the time being!

After the wool color gun is made, the soldiers will bring enough guns and ammunition to the battlefield, and they can quickly fight and sweep those Western countries!

The second is profit!

Let the imperial court see the benefits, so don't you rush to buy a steamer?

"Of course, the price of spices has risen even now, and a dozen gold may not be able to buy a pound of scattered spices, but this thing is really more expensive than gold!"

Ying Zheng nodded and said.

By scattered spices, he meant a mixture of spices, not a single one.

Some of them are valuable, and some are worthless!

But even if it is, there is no market!

"It's easy to do!"

"Easy to do? Do you know where spices are? ”

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Daqin does not produce spices, and many spices are obtained by merchants from all walks of life through various channels, so the price is very expensive!

Even the minister's family rarely uses it, let alone ordinary people!

The ministers also stared at Xiao Zhengtai with burning eyes, wondering where there were spices, and they would also buy some when the time came!

Now that everyone has money in their hands, it is no longer the tight days of the past, so the requirements for the quality of life are getting higher and higher.

I hope that the house I live in will be bigger, the furniture will be more luxurious, the carvings will be more exquisite, and the meals will be more delicious!

People live on food, and among them, what they want the most is, of course, to eat all kinds of food every day!

"Overseas, there is an island where all kinds of spice trees grow, but no one picks them, and every year a lot of spices fall into the soil and go to waste!"

Ying Feiyu said with a straight face.

"What? Is there such a place? What a waste! Is there no one living on the island? ”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but curse.

They treat spices as if they were treasures.

I didn't expect that there are still places that regard these things as dung, which is not uncommon at all!

"Yes, yes, but they are all indigenous people, who live on hunting, do not know how to farm, and do not use any spices! In their eyes, the spice tree on the island is similar to our willow and elm trees, just a tree with leaves! ”

The hot climate of the South Seas is suitable for the growth of spices, and many of the local spices came from here.

But whether there is anyone on the island, Xiao Zhengtai doesn't know.

According to the time, there are definitely no serious countries, but there should be some indigenous people!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking about Nanyang?"

Xin Sheng, who was in a column of generals, suddenly brightened his eyes, and seemed to remember something.

"Aiqing knows about this place?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is lonely and unheard, and I don't know this place, but on the way to Wodao, I occasionally heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention it!"

Xin Sheng hurriedly replied.

Good fellow, if His Majesty learns that he doesn't report it, won't you release him?

"I see......

Ying Zheng nodded, then his eyes fell on Xiao Zhengtai, and continued: "Since there is such a good place, you kid didn't say it earlier!" ”

Xiao Zhengtai gave him a blank look, "Nanyang is located overseas, and the wind and waves on the sea are very big, even if the son has already said it, does the imperial court have a ship to pick it up?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Ying Zheng's mind is full of black lines.

This kid is right, the building boat can sail freely in the river, but if you want to sail unimpeded on the sea, it is a little bit meaningless!

"The first batch of steamships has only been built ten, and the sons took it to Wodao, and now the second batch is just about to be built, if the father is interested, he can send someone there!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead troops to pick spices for the imperial court!"

As soon as Ying Feiyu's words fell, Xin Sheng surrendered his hand and asked for his life.

He was in charge of the navy, and now the steamships can only be piloted by a trained navy, and he is the most suitable to go.

The spices on the island belong to the ownerless, and the imperial court sent troops to pick them, so they naturally belonged to the imperial court.

If you bring it back to Daqin and sell it, you can enrich the treasury, which can be regarded as a great achievement!
