Since what Liang En did this time was very complicated, the imperial court needed some time and energy to make the final statistics, so it was estimated that it would be a few months before the reward was issued.

After seeing off the two scholars and watching the airship leave with some of the high-value local specialties such as lenses, furs and herbs, as well as some of the trophies, Liang En began to make a comprehensive inventory of the large quantities of supplies he had recently obtained.

Many of these materials belonged to modern specially imported things, including various basic knowledge books that had been specially re-copied from almost a junior high school library, and a large number of equipment that would be used for the construction of the territory in the future.

Fortunately, as the territory and the Great Song Dynasty gradually digested and absorbed the knowledge that Liang En brought last time, many things could be made on the spot, so many equipment only needed to carry some important parts.

However, this is not the largest batch of materials, the largest batch is naturally the last trophy, about 30 tons, from jade jewelry, beautiful bird feathers, golden sand to all kinds of exquisite textiles.

After a brief consideration, Liang En decided to mix and smelt the golden sands and some of the gold nuggets he had obtained before to pretend to be the spoils of this war, and at the same time sell the bird feathers, animal furs, teeth, bones, etc. to the Central Plains.

After all, this kind of thing is an animal product that needs to be killed to obtain, and if it is brought to the modern world, whether you keep it or sell it, there will be a lot of trouble, and Liang En feels that there is no need to be boring.

As for those jade carvings, the texture is not very good in the eyes of the Chinese people, but it is rich in exotic customs, and it should be possible to find a group of buyers who are willing to pay high prices in those rich areas.

Most of the fine tapestries in the trophy were made of cotton, so Liang felt that they could be taken to the modern world to decorate his home.

Also able to bring the modern age is a large pile of rough jade, which Liang En decided to carve into antique looks with modern tools and then decorate his castle with colorful cotton tapestries.

Compared to these things, the biggest harvest in this loot is a series of crop seeds, and the things that were brought back by the airship before are basically crop seeds or seedlings except for materials.

Compared with the seeds that Liang En brought from now, these seeds have the most original and complete information, so they can be used to transform those seeds that need the support of modern industry to produce high yields, and create a good seed that is truly suitable for the world.

For the Chinese nation, whose farming culture is engraved in its bones, the value of new crops is absolutely above all else, especially the status of new food crops is paramount.

As a result, the seeds were placed in the safest part of the airship as soon as they were loaded onto the airship, and were guarded by the ship's most elite security personnel, and everyone on the airship was ready to protect the seeds with their lives.

In terms of quantity, the largest amount of items Liang En has recently obtained is cocoa, if you add the cocoa that is still growing in the demigod cave, he can get an average of 3.5 tons of cocoa beans per month, and he still has more than a dozen tons of inventory in his hand.

Considering the profits behind the chocolate industry in the modern world, and the two caves he owns that can grow tropical crops, Liang began to think about how he should develop this industry.

As the original source of cocoa, the chiefs and clergy of the city-states in Central America were deeply interested in this substance, which was a strong diuretic and digestive aid, and cocoa was also the top sacrifice and currency used to worship the gods.

So the whole of Mesoamerica is a cocoa-worshipping society, both ordinary people and otherworldly beings love it, and a large amount of cocoa is consumed every day.

However, the way they consumed cocoa was very different from what Liang was used to, and as the main consumers, the court of the Mayan city-states preferred to use chili peppers, peppers, vanilla beans, and spices added to the cocoa powder to brew and froth with water, and then drink this bitter and spicy liquid.

In particular, members of the court drank the drink in a golden cup every day and used it for sacrifices, so it was called Theobroa, the drink of the gods.

On the way back, it was a bit boring on the boat

Liang En once tried to make a drink like this with the idea of getting close to history, and drank a full one.

It must be admitted that this is a very refreshing drink, and the stimulating taste can clear the drowsy mind and last for a long time, not much worse than the so-called refreshing tools in modern society. ap.

The only problem is that the taste is too unpleasant, Liang En relied on his own cultivation to temporarily block most of the taste before pouring a whole cup, he thinks that few normal people will like this taste.

The pungent flavor made it difficult for Liang to tell what the ingredients were that were uplifting his spirits—theobromine or peppers that were near-lethal to him.

As for the Mayan court, it was understandable that according to tradition, the nobles of the Mayan court had to put a little blood on themselves every day to sacrifice to the sun, and often had to open their tongues, compared to the cacao drink.

But if you want to promote cocoa, you can't choose this too traditional drink, Liang En thinks that few normal people can accept that kind of bitter, spicy, astringent and greasy strange drink.

Thankfully, the experience of the modern world showed the way for Liang to make a press that separated cocoa butter and cocoa powder, and then mixed cocoa fat with cocoa powder and sugar to make chocolate cubes.

At the same time, he mixed the extra cocoa powder with sugar and vanilla as a drink, which was far more delicious than the original drink.

"This stuff tastes so good, and the chocolate is delicious." Ao Lei was full of praise for the new drink, "I'm sure these things should be popular, but have you ever wondered how to sell them?"

"I gave a lot of them to those two scholars. And please ask them to send some to the people in Gezhiyuan, so that this product will soon become famous."

As a person who has been fully influenced by the idea of commodity economy in the modern world, Liang En has sufficient cases to learn from how to market a special product, and naturally has developed a set of promotion and marketing plans.

"At the same time, I will also send people to open cocoa houses in several big cities, and further promote them like the current tea houses, until everyone can accept them before selling the finished products."

In Liang En's view, if you want to sell a product, simply pull it to the market to sell is the simplest trade, and if you want to go further, the concept of selling is the most important.

For example, for the positioning of cocoa, Liang En does not intend to treat it as a simple drink or snack, but intends to pull it as a cultural symbol like coffee in later generations.

That's why he gave it to his colleagues: a group of people who were considered highly intelligent to start drinking a certain drink would inevitably lead to a bustle.

Of course, the refreshing role of coco itself cannot be ignored, after all, all the publicity for selling things must be based on facts, otherwise the consequences will be absolutely tragic once the car rolls over.
