Chapter 266: Champa (Grand Chapter)

In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the common people of the Central Plains began to plant grapes to make wine, and introduced Eurasian grapes, recruited winemakers, and began to make wine with Western methods.

According to the "Taiping Yulan", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty planted all the grapes in the "farewell view of the palace".

By the Tang Dynasty, wine had reached its peak after hundreds of years of silence at the end of the Han Dynasty.

After obtaining mare's milk grape varieties and winemaking methods from Gaochangguo, Tang Taizong not only planted grapes in the imperial garden, but also personally participated in the production of wine.

The heyday of wine culture was in the Yuan Dynasty. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were very fond of wine, stipulating that wine must be used for worship in Taimiao, and also opened vineyards in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and Nanjing, Jiangsu.

The tax on alcohol is very high.

Hearing this, the winemaker was so excited that tears came out, he had heard of wine, but he had never drunk it before, and it should be a very good wine.

If His Royal Highness likes it, then many powerful people will like it in the future, which is indeed a good direction.

It has to be said that the common people of Beijing have a lot of experience in doing business, and they know that selling goods to rich people will make more profits.

When it was near, Queen Xu was not at ease, and sent someone out to find Zhu Gaoxian to go back, the people still wanted to talk to the Fourth Highness, and the old man in the city saw it and said, "The Fourth Highness is still a child, and he has traveled so far today, and he has not rested, so he was pulled by you to talk, and he must let the child rest and rest." ”

In this way, it is not good for everyone to keep Zhu Gaoxian, when leaving, this stuffed eggs, that stuffed sweet potatoes, this stuffed buns, and that gave steamed buns, Zhu Gaoxian refused to ask for it, everyone had to give, no way, he had to take a little bit of the same, and the people kept sending him to the gate of the house, watching him enter the gate, before he dispersed.

Zhu Di asked Xu to go to sleep, he waited by himself, and when he saw his son coming back with great interest, he hurriedly asked, "What is it that you are so happy to say that you refuse to go back home?" ”

"Dad, let's talk about getting rich. The economy of Beijing can go up again, I teach them a lot of new names today, and when they go to explore by themselves, after moving the capital in the future, Dad can hold some fairs in Beijing, including food fairs, furniture fairs, and all kinds of fairs to stimulate the economy of various places. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, this is a good thing to show the strength of the country, nodded and said, "At that time, the railway and the Chidao were basically connected, and it was easy to travel from the south to the north. ”

Zhu Gaoxian understood this vanity in his father's heart.

What is the meaning of the night walk in brocade, the people are developed, and the country is developed, so it is natural to show off the muscles outside, and said, "When the palace city is built, we will build a conference hall in the industrial park over there, the kind that is several floors up and down, and then build a few more big restaurants...... Forget it, the money from the restaurant, my father and I will earn it, when the time comes, whoever comes to the expo, no matter who it is, will pay for food and accommodation by themselves, although we are a big country, but we are not wronged. ”

Historically, whenever a vassal country came to pay tribute and bring a piece of bread, it would inevitably bring a pizza back, and Zhu Di was criticized for spending money to buy vanity.

Zhu Gaoxian actually didn't approve of this, but Zhu Di in history must have been weak because he usurped the throne and became a country, so he wanted to spend money to buy a good reputation.

Zhu Di is now the emperor of Buddhism, everything is up to his son, his son pulls him to earn money, of course he is happy, "Your mother is already asleep, you don't have to go to say goodbye, it's not early, my father is also sleepy, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, rest first." ”

Zhu Gaoxian returned to his yard, and the familiar courtyard made him feel very relieved, and a sense of intimacy came to his face.

The dog has come out, and many of the previous subordinates have stayed here to guard, and the rules are still the same.

After Zhu Gaoxian took a bath, he didn't go to rest, but under the lamp, he wrote down all the secret recipes that he said he would write to them today, and handed them to the dogs, so that he could take them to the wontons the next day.

Zhu Di stayed in Beijing for ten days, visited many factories, and saw the newly built industrial park, with cement paving roads, neatly planned, although it occupied a lot of fertile land, but it did not account for much of the common people.

Guo Ziwei is embarrassed, "The site can only be chosen here first, the choice is too far, the road to be built is also very far, and the transportation cost has also increased, Chen and Jin Zhong looked at many places, and finally decided to settle on this piece, this land was originally a squire surnamed Yuan, after letting it out, the minister used the land in other places to compensate him for a part, and promised him to make one or two of the parts, and then promised him that the two children of the Yuan family would enter the Ming Imperial Academy." ”

Zhu Dixin said that this is the problem, if this land is my Ming land, and it is recovered, it is great to give him some compensation, do you have to compensate him for another piece of land?

Zhu Di said, "In the future, when you encounter such a thing, discuss with the Fourth Highness more, and try not to make up for the land that has been taken back." ”

Guo Zi thought that this time he had spent a lot of effort for the sake of the land, and he felt the harm of the land in the hands of these squires, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the minister must discuss more with the Fourth Highness, the Fourth Highness is much smarter than the minister, and when he encounters a problem, he can always come up with a good way." ”

Zhu Di likes to listen to this, and when he saw that King Ning and King Zhou were not far away, he asked Guo Zi to greet them, and the three brothers did not see each other for a few days, and after meeting, they were very affectionate.

King Zhou said, "The minister heard that the emperor was coming, and he wanted to come to see him yesterday, thinking that the emperor had just arrived the day before, and it must have been very hard, so I asked to see him today." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile, "This way, I will not be tired of traveling with your sister-in-law and nephew." I heard that you also built a factory here, let's go, take a look! ”

Reinforced concrete structure, tall factory buildings, busy construction sites, and the students of the Ming Imperial Academy who were guiding the construction, saw Zhu Di coming, and everyone put down their work and came to Zhu Di to say goodbye.

"You're all busy, I'm just looking around!"

Seeing this thriving scene, Zhu Di's heart floated with an indescribable thing, only a few years of hard work, Daming has come to this point, he can be sure that many surrounding countries and regions are still in the era of swords and fires, and Daming's industry has risen to an unparalleled height.

Zhu Gaoxian was inspecting the oil well, the equipment had a little fault, and it was not working from time to time.

Jin Zhong accompanied him and breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, this oil is a good thing, it can not only refine gasoline and diesel, but also use the residue to pave roads, and it can also ......"

Jin Zhong was a little speechless, and Zhu Gaoxian continued, "I can also refine some polymer compounds, and I came this time, mainly to give you a hand in alchemy!" ”

Every time His Highness says this, there will inevitably be a trick, Jin Zhong is overjoyed, "Your Highness, the minister will gather everyone, and Your Highness will tell us something?" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Gaoxian is now very confident in the first batch of talents he has cultivated, and the use of coal tar has now reached the point of imminence, if you want to make a big improvement in industrial development, there must be new raw materials and new technologies put into use.

The oil wells at the time of the Battle of Jingjing adopted a very primitive method of pumping oil, using winches to lift oil out of the oil wells, which was able to meet the oil consumption of several tractors at that time, and the 24-hour uninterrupted pumping of oil only had a slight surplus.

This oilfield, the development volume is very small, and it is still a self-blowing well, using power oil production, and the oil production has been greatly increased, which is enough for the current consumption of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxian is difficult to be happy, with the development of industry, oil will be a very important resource, such as the current Ming Dynasty, oil has become a strategic resource, once there is no oil, the Ming army will be paralyzed.

Who wants to go back to the era of eating chaff for those who have eaten meat?

It seems that going to Africa to get oil is also an urgent matter!

Zhu Gaoxian said, "This is a resource left by our ancestors to our descendants, and if we use a little, we will use a little less." I will only develop this oil well for the time being, and we will use it in the future, so let's go to other countries to do it, not use our own. ”

Jin Zhong was stunned when he heard this, "Your Highness, where are we going?" If you go to another country to do it, will others give it? ”

"If you don't give it to us, won't we spend money to buy it? Who would be afraid of silver biting hands? As long as we are willing to spend money, are we afraid that they will not send it to the door themselves? ”

Zhu Gaoxian pointed to the north, "The country to the north of us is now called the Grand Duchy of Moscow, they have a lot of oil and natural gas over there, we can go there to get oil first, and then slowly lay pipelines to Africa, Africa is now the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, let's help them develop the economy and buy back the garbage they don't want everywhere." ”

Jin Zhong absolutely didn't believe this, but he tried not to use his own as much as possible, especially this kind of non-renewable resources, Jin Zhong still understood this truth, and he was high-spirited, "Your Highness, as long as you tell the minister to do something, the minister will definitely go all out." ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Gaoxian temporarily set a direction for Daming, in terms of the use of resources, this time he personally led a team to Australia, to lead the way for the merchants in the south, in the future, the development of the south, iron ore will rely on Australia to provide.

To the north, he temporarily set his sights on Russia, the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Russia's natural gas, oil, and iron ore are all resources that cannot be abandoned, especially the kind of large iron ore mines that are mined in the open pit.

Although the grade of iron ore in Russia is significantly lower than that of Australia and Brazil, it is not without good iron ore areas, so he needs to make a trip himself.

And right now, there is still a Northern Yuan between Daming and Russia.

Zhu Gaoxian felt that he had tolerated Beiyuan for too long, and after returning from Australia, it was time to solve Beiyuan's problem.

I heard that Zhu Gaoxian was going to start a class, and all the project leaders came, and in the mansion, several places where Zhu Gaoxian's brothers used to study gathered, one by one, with paper and pen in their hands, and sat in a regular manner, listening to Zhu Gaoxian's lectures.

This time, Zhu Di and his two brothers, King Ning and King Zhou, were also present and sat at the back. Their insights are obviously not keeping up with the country's development at the moment.

"Today I will talk to you mainly about oil, a new raw material that has a huge effect on the development of the industrial sector. We often talk about oil, in fact, if oil is really classified into crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and natural tar, we are used to calling crude oil oil. “

Zhu Gaoxian filled a cup of crude oil with a transparent measuring cup and put it on the table, and he pointed at the table with a teaching whip, "Before, when we were developing tractors, we began to refine crude oil, using the distillation method, and the oil obtained at different temperatures has different uses, and the final residue is asphalt, which we use to pave the road." Today, we will use another natural raw material, that is, coal, coal dry distillation to produce a black or black-brown viscous liquid with a pungent odor, that is, tar, coal tar has a large number of compounds, from which we can open up a new discipline, called chemistry. “

Zhu Gaoxian said, "If the mechanical and electrical applications I taught you before were called Gewu, then now, we want to add a new discipline, chemistry." I'm leading you through the door, and there's a vast world in it, and it's up to you to figure it out on your own. ”

Zhu Gaoxian showed a set of coal tar processing process in Germany in later generations, which has the advantages of low energy consumption, many trace components separated, low degree of automation, and environmental protection, and ranks first in the world in the utilization rate of coal tar in later generations.

After that, Zhu Gaoxian explained the application of these trace components, saying, "When this discipline is used, many of the problems you encounter will be solved." Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, and in the future, I want you to develop the direction of using petroleum and other fossil raw materials to make polymers through polymerization. “

Next, he began to talk about these polymers, "some of which can be direct products of the petrochemical industry, such as synthetic resins, and in the future, this discipline has developed to a certain extent to replace steel, and they have better properties than steel in some aspects." For example, high rigidity, low creep, high mechanical strength, good heat resistance, insulation, not easy to corrode, etc., we temporarily name these materials as engineering plastics. ”

"Engineering plastics melt at a certain temperature, mold at a certain temperature, and after high-temperature cooling, the performance basically does not change much, and we can use this performance to make the products we want."

"Of course, this is just a direction for me to speculate, at the moment, I only got the material of synthetic resin, I just guess that there should be a lot of these different ingredients in petroleum and tar, this is a mysterious world, we need to explore, find the answer."

But, even so, Zhu Gaoxian's words also opened a door to the mysterious world for everyone, especially the students of the Ming Imperial Academy, who listened very carefully one by one, their eyes were full of exploration, and they were eager to verify this world.

Zhu Gaoxian said, "I am also here to remind you that oil and coal are all non-renewable resources. Although I have a lot of land, I hope that when we make use of this, we will think more about our children and grandchildren. Today, we use a little more, and tomorrow, they use a little less. ”

"Therefore......" Zhu Gaoxian looked at his father, "my proposal is that we can use the resources we have to exchange with other countries." ”

King Ning hurriedly asked, "Fourth nephew, where are these?" Let's go find it and get it back! ”

It is worthy of the Zhu family's species!

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Uncle Ning, we have that country in the north, but now we have to go over, and the Northern Yuan has stopped us." There are also in the southwest, where these things are everywhere, the most. In the future, we will use pipelines to bring in crude oil and natural gas. ”

"Aren't those countries richer than we are when they have so many useful resources?"

Zhu Gaoxian said, "They belong to the tropics, all year round, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they have oil, they can eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, they don't need anything to develop, and they don't need silver." ”

King Ning sighed, "It's really a godsend, I really want to go and see it!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "If Uncle Ning wants to see it, he will go and see it." It just so happened that the nephew didn't know what was going on over there, and the nephew also heard about it. ”

After about two hours in class, Zhu Gaoxian said dryly, he didn't plan to continue, he couldn't be like when the industry was just starting out, everything was done by himself, if you want Daming to develop quickly and steadily, you must cultivate talents.

Zhu Gaoxian put the whip on the table and said, "Okay, that's all I know, if you don't understand anything, we'll discuss it together when the time comes." ”

The students looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't come back to their senses, and they didn't know what to ask.

Zhu Gaoxian was about to step off the podium, when the dog appeared on the edge of the classroom, he hurriedly walked out, glanced at his father in the classroom, and Zhu Di also got up.

"What's going on?" Zhu Di asked.

The dog looked very happy, "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, there is good news from Annan, saying that General Zhang Fu has won the battle, and the first group of people, a total of 320,000 Annan troops, has been escorted into the Ming Dynasty and assigned to the construction site, and the railway will be repaired much faster." ”

Although I know that there will be no suspense in this battle, after all, it is a war, and everyone is worried about what if.

At present, when the good news came, Zhu Di put his mind at ease and said, "320,000 people are not a small number, these people must be managed well, and there can be no chaos." ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "This is easy, Dad, your next will, if these people can work for the Ming Dynasty for three years, if they are willing to stay in my Daming in the future and become the people of my Daming, then give them land and settle in the family, if they are not willing to stay in my Daming, give the repatriation fee back to Annan, and never let them work in vain." “

Zhu Di understood what his son meant, this is to hang a carrot in front of the donkey's mouth, and after he made this will, he also prevented the officials of the construction from abusing these Annan people and stirring up a civil uprising.

Although the current Ming Dynasty is not afraid of these Annan people rebelling at all, but these people are people he sent Zhang Fu and others, and they scrapped the strength of nine cows and two tigers to get from Annan, if they are killed in three or two days, wouldn't it be a waste!

Zhang Ben personally led people to send the Annan people to the hands of Liu Jun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and looked at the vigorous infrastructure construction scene in front of them, these Annan people roughly knew their fate.

First, they were forced by Hu Jichen and his son to build a multi-state city, in order to block the Ming Dynasty's expeditionary army, who knows, the multi-state city they built in three years did not withstand a single shell of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, they are taken prisoner, and the Ming army has escorted them over, and they are going to be used as coolies again.

Zhang Ben was handing over to Liu Jun, and the lieutenant beside Zhu Di also ran over quickly, he turned over from the horse and fell, and said with a smile, "Lord Liu, Lord Zhang has worked hard!" This road is really getting better and better, and our family will not have to ride a horse next time, but will drive. ”

Zhang Ben said with a smile, "What my father-in-law said is that in the future, wherever we go, we don't need to ride horses, how good it is to drive." I'm afraid this horse won't be able to run on this kind of road, waste hooves! ”

Yi Shi said, "No, we have to let the nail iron palm help take a look." ”

After the greetings, Zhang Ben and Liu Jun knelt down to receive the order, and the Annan people also knelt down when they saw this, and Yishu Ha first read out Zhu Di's will to Liu Jun and others, and then read out the will to the Annan people.

The Annan people also did not understand the Central Plains, so they found an interpreter and told them Zhu Di's will.

When these people heard this, they couldn't believe their ears, and one of the older people took the initiative to come forward and ask, "My lord, what does the emperor mean is that I will wait for three meals a day, I will have clothes to wear throughout the year, and I will be paid five cents a day, and I will serve for three years. Is this true? ”

"It's true, what's wrong with that? The reason why I am a big country in the state invited you here is that we don't have enough manpower, so I asked you to help build roads. How can there be anyone in the world who works for nothing and is not given food, clothing, or wages? ”

This old man is about fifty or sixty years old, and he has never seen such a good thing in his life, so he hurriedly knelt down, "I'll wait to thank Lord Longen!" ”

Liu Jun and Zhang Ben breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, with so many people, it is really a very difficult thing to manage, if it is suppressed with one force, it is not impossible, but it is not the best policy after all, they are not to kill people, but to let people help with work.

If the imperial court can give a clear policy, this is a good thing.

The people of Daming heard that these people have three meals a day, clothes all year round, only three cents a day, more than ten times less than their own fifty cents, everyone has a sense of superiority in their hearts, and I heard that if they want to settle in Daming, they are Daming people, and the people are very kind in their hearts, and they have some sense of identity with these Annan people who have left their hometowns.

Is it possible to say that in the future, he and these Annan people will become neighbors?

At that moment, someone came to beckon the Annan people to work, seeing that these Ming people were so enthusiastic, the Annan people were much less vigilant, as long as they worked, they had food, as long as there was this rule, they were not afraid, and soon, these Annan people were put into labor.

More than 300,000 people threw a stone into the Yangtze River, and there was basically no sound of it.

Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng advanced all the way to the southwest of Annam, crossing the border between Champa and Annam.

At this time, after the death of the king Peng'e, the 14th Dynasty was established by his general Ge Sheng, but in the second year of Yongle, Annam captured its capital under the command of Emperor Hu Jichen.

Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng entered the border of Zhancheng in the name of sweeping away Hu Jichen's invading army.

King Dharabmana VI of Champa came to greet him personally, and when his luxurious elephant throne faced the armored car of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Champa and all his entourage were wide-eyed, although they had heard in advance that the army of the Ming Dynasty was invincible, and the weapons and equipment of the great powers of the state were like heavenly weapons, and they still did not see what kind of divine power was driving these big iron boxes to move?

The armored car stopped abruptly, Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng got out of the car, stood on both sides of the armored car and looked at Lai of Zhanba, both of them were thinking in their hearts, if their sword pointed out, the king and the court of Zhancheng could all be explained here.

Without the emperor's will, they did not dare to do this, originally the imperial court asked them to knock down Annan, and they crossed the border between Annan and Champang, the main reason was that the country was too small, and the speed of armored vehicles was too fast.

All the way over the mountains and mountains, I actually saw the capital of Zhancheng.

After being so busy for almost a month, Annan has sent less than 500,000 people into Daming, although it is possible to collect some people from the people, but presumably, there are not many young and middle-aged people.

Lai of Zhanba hurriedly got down from the elephant throne, personally walked in front of Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng, and knelt down to thank the grace of the state.

Lai of Champa never dreamed that in less than a month, the general Zhengyi who defeated Annan was only in his early twenties, so young.

"General, please come into the royal city and accept my hospitality. I have admired the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and it is the greatest honor of my life to see the general and the soldiers under your command today! ”

Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng glanced at each other, the two asked for a car, sat in the car, and slowly followed the elephant into the capital of Zhancheng.

The palace has been set up with delicious food and wine, the beauties singing and dancing have been in place, and Lai of Zhanba has taken Zhang Fu in one hand and Mu Cheng in the other hand to walk up the high steps that only a king can walk and enter the palace.

"Prepare a little thin wine, a little coarse tea and rice, and hope that the generals of the kingdom will not dislike it." Zhanba's Lai had not been taught the Ming Dynasty's firearms, but he did not want to be taught at all.

The fact that Chamba Lai has this idea does not mean that the civil ministers and military generals of Cham have such an idea.

Among the generals, the first military general to answer Ban Guabnon saw that Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng were extremely reserved, so he looked a little arrogant, and he was very angry in his heart, and he only felt that the reason why Daming was able to defeat Annan was because Annan's combat strength was too weak, so he stood up and said, "Dare to ask the general of Shangguo, your country is at war with people, do you use more people or firearms?" “

Answering Ban Gua Bunong asked this very tactfully, it seemed to be asking for advice, but in fact it was secretly mocking, hearing Answering Ban Gua Bunong like this, Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng were generous, looked at each other, smiled, and had a kind of "Xia Worm can't talk ice", and he didn't want to answer.

Who knows, Zhang Fu's personal soldiers are a violent temper, he didn't say a word, he raised his hand and shot at Daban Gua Bunong, only to hear a bang in the huge hall, followed by a wail from Daban Guabunong, he covered his shoulder and rolled on the ground in pain.

Except for Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng, everyone stood up in shock, looked at the answer class Guabunong, and looked at Zhang Fu's personal soldiers, of course, the rulers and ministers of Zhancheng felt that Zhang Fu and the others were too arrogant, but in the face of such firearms from the other party, even if they were full of anger, they didn't dare to say it.

2k

"This, I don't know where did I offend this sergeant?" Zhanba's Lai was naturally dissatisfied, and he bowed his hand slightly and asked Zhang Fu, with a questioning tone in his tone.

Zhang Fu glanced at his own soldiers, although he also blamed, he would not say anything to his soldiers on this occasion, and said with a smile, "King of Champong, isn't the general of your country asking, do I use more people or use more firearms when fighting with people?" I have a saying in the Ming Dynasty, called 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', so this little soldier of General Ben simply let your general have a good look. ”

He tilted his chin slightly, and said with a smile, "If His Majesty wants to see our armored vehicles, you can move to the castle tower, and I will have someone show it to the king and his courtiers." ”

"The artillery is like thunder, and the severed limbs and wreckage are all over the sky" is a scene of the battlefield between Annan and the Ming Dynasty described by the people in the Champa Kingdom.

Aban Guabunong was carried down, and after a long time, the monarchs and ministers of the Champa State recovered from their horror, and Lai of Champa took the lead in raising his glass to toast Zhang Fu and Mu Cheng, "The two generals are coming from afar, please!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Fu discussed with Mu Cheng, planning to talk to Zhanba's Lai, "I came from afar to ask His Majesty the King for help!" ”

Oh my God, there is anyone who can help Da Ming?

Zhanba's Lai hurriedly asked, "I don't know what can help the Ming Dynasty, but please ask the two generals to say bluntly, if I can do it, I will definitely go all out." ”

Zhang Fu said, "I am in urgent need of employment now, if the people of your country can take the initiative to invite the people of your country to help me build roads and do infrastructure construction, I will be willing to help the development of your country in the future." ”

This is not a request for help, it is a naked threat.

Champa Lai is a fool and can hear it, but can he refuse?

Out of the corner of his eye, Lai of Zhanba couldn't help but look at the soldiers behind Zhang Fu, the hairless boy with his mouth, why was he so arrogant, and when he didn't agree with a word, he took out his gun and killed Daban Gua Bu Nong, the general of his Zhancheng State.

Where did he get his self-confidence, feeling that as the king of the city of Zhancheng, if he denounced to Da Ming, Da Ming would not hand him over no matter what?

People in the big countries of Shangbang have such confidence, so how strong has this country become?

Chamba Lai Dynasty King Sun Sheyang should be beckoning, Sheyang should not know why, stood up, walked to his grandfather, after he saluted, listened to his grandfather, "Do you want to go to Daming to see the glory of the great country of Shangbang?" ”

She Yang also glanced at the soldiers behind Zhang Fu, he was holding a weapon that he had never seen before, just now, what he knocked down in an instant was shot out of that weapon, but unfortunately, the speed was too fast, he didn't see it clearly.

She Yang nodded, "Grandfather, grandson is willing to go!" ”

Champa's Lai then asked Zhang Fu, "I don't know how many people are needed in the kingdom?" ”

Zhang Fu said, "The more the better, all the people who go to our country to work, whether it is Annan or Champong, but if they go, one person will have three meals a day, clothes all year round, and five cents a day, and if they want to come back after three years, they will be given repatriation expenses." This is the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

It's not for nothing, but there is still money?

Zhanba's Lai was a little puzzled, but if he asked rashly, it would naturally be inappropriate, but Sheyang should have asked, "General, why is this?" ”

Zhang Fu said with a smile, "My Majesty the Emperor has never competed with the people for profit, since the road is built, it is naturally spent by the treasury, and I still have this idea." ”

In this way, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhancheng State were both envious and ashamed of themselves.

Mu Cheng said, "If the king of Champa is willing to help me with this, I am willing to provide a precious seed called rubber to the king of Champang." ”

"Rubber seeds? I wonder what this rubber is used for? King Cham asked.

Zhang Fu raised his hand, and the pro-soldiers behind him went out, and after a while, the pro-soldiers came in, pushing a bicycle in their hands, Zhang Fu pointed to the tire of the bicycle, "Your Majesty, please see, this is a tire made of rubber grown on a rubber tree, compared to the wood or iron wheels that your country still uses, this kind of tire is wear-resistant, labor-saving, and comfortable!" “

Zhang Fu nodded to the pro-soldier, just right, there is still a field in the hall, the pro-soldier put the gun on his back, held the bicycle with both hands, stepped on the pedal with one foot, the car flew out, he turned over, two feet on the pedal, the wheel turned fast, on the smooth ground, there was no sound, dexterously turned in circles, a total of three turns, the pro-soldier pinched the brake, the car creaked and stopped, the pro-soldier parked the bicycle and returned to Zhang Fu's back.

Zhang Fu pointed to the bicycle they used for scouts, and said to Zhanba's Lai, "Your Majesty the King, my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very grateful to your country for arranging migrant workers to help us build roads, and in order to thank the people of the Champa country, we specially provide this precious rubber seed, if your country can't use so much rubber in the future, my country is willing to buy it at a high price, and we will never let your country suffer." ”

Zhanba's Lai and the others couldn't listen to the rubber or anything at this time, and their eyes were full of heat for this bicycle, especially Wang Sun Sheyang Cai, who couldn't wait to go to Daming.

What a magical country it would be!

He couldn't help asking, "General, what is this?" ”

"This is a bicycle, my Daming people's daily car, riding a bicycle is faster than walking, slower than the speed of a car, but the road requirements are not high, but you can also camel a little simple things, very convenient, if His Royal Highness Wang Sun wants, this general can give it to you!"

"Great!"

Sheyang should look at Chamba Lai, "Grandfather, grandson thinks that I should listen to the opinions of the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty has always been very reasonable, and they will definitely be willing to help us in any time we are suffering." ”

Zhanba's Lai is not moved by Daming's support or help, he just wants to be a king with peace of mind, even if the country is small, he can rule the world.
