"A hundred horses of silk, the reward of the son is heavy enough......"

Looking at the old peasant who finally reluctantly accepted Liu Chan's heavy reward and left with the help of several servants, even Pang Tong, a phoenix chick, couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Just kidding, when this beautiful maid or strong slave is only seven or eight silk silks, a hundred silk silks is a huge amount of money.

"Heavy? Hehe, does the military advisor really think that this little reward is heavy? ”

Liu Chan, who didn't feel how heavy this reward was, couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.

You must know that since ancient times, population has been one of the most important criteria for measuring a country's strength.

This is not to mention the present, even if the later generations have entered the era of 'informatization', it is still the same.

And with this Linyi rice, not to say anything big about getting Huaxia out of famine from now on, at least let the Han quickly break through the previous peak of 50 or 60 million people, or even double, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Think about it, a big Han with a population of hundreds of millions, coupled with the combat power of the Han army's 'one Han top five Hu', looking at the world, who else is the opponent of the Han Dynasty?

"Haha, Childe is right, the Valley of the Gods is priceless, how can it be measured by worldly things! It's just that Childe, such a god valley, must be retrieved as soon as possible, in case there are too many dreams at night! ”

In fact, Pang Tong didn't know the importance of this Linyi rice to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, while expressing his approval of Liu Chan's words, the matter of the early recovery of this 'Divine Valley' was naturally put on the agenda.

"The military advisor is right, we have to send someone to get this Linyi rice back as soon as possible. It's just that although the counties of Jiaozhou are the territory of our Han Dynasty, they are not currently under our jurisdiction. If so......"

Thinking of Shixie, who had already taken refuge in Sun Quan at this time, Liu Chan couldn't help but be a little worried.

It's not that he's worried about Sun Quan's obstruction, it's just that he doesn't want to leak the news of this Linyi rice yield too early. Especially before Koto was taken.

"Hehe, don't worry about it, it's easy to hear! Although the history of Jiaozhou is a step, the Shixie brothers are still guarding the counties of Jiaozhou. It is enough for Childe to send a caravan, and there is no need to send a special envoy......"

Hearing Liu Chan's concern, Pang Tong smiled lightly, and gave a really feasible solution in an instant.

Indeed, although since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes of the world have fought endlessly, but allowing caravans to come and go normally is also a tacit unspoken rule of each family.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Lu Meng in the original history to use the means of 'crossing the river in white' to pretend to be a caravan and succeed in attacking Jingzhou.

"Well, then according to the law of the military advisor, go to collect rice seeds in the name of a caravan. It's just that this action is very important, who can do it in the military? ”

Nodding, Liu Chan was also extremely satisfied with Pang Tong's method of purchasing rice seeds in the name of the caravan.

"Gong ...... Childe, subordinates wish...... Wish! ”

Hearing Liu Chan ask about the person in charge, before Pang Tong could speak, Deng Ai, a personal disciple who had just apprenticed not long ago, recommended himself.

"It's a long way to go to Xianglin, and there are many miasma and poisonous insects along the way. In addition, the aunt has just arrived in Jingzhou not long ago, so it is better for Brother Shizai to stay and accompany Lingtang. This matter of leading the caravan south to buy seeds is still handed over to others......"

Although the counties and counties of Jiaozhou at this time were directly under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty and were not the fetters of later dynasties, they were still wild places after all.

Therefore, for safety reasons, where is Liu Chan willing to let such a future right-hand man go on an adventure.

"Gong ...... Childe, although the elephant forest is far away, but in the end...... It is the land of the Great Han Dynasty. Past ...... Bowang Hou can pass through the Western Regions, only ...... What about Xianglin...... What a fear! ”

Shaking his head, Deng Ai asked again as an example of Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions.

"Childe, as the so-called jade is not polished, it cannot be made. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, so let the taxi go on this trip! ”

After a little consideration, Pang Tong, who was a teacher, also recommended Deng Ailai on the grounds of training talents.

"And Shizai is bold and careful, and he has just followed Gongzi for a short time, let him live in front of him, and he will not attract the attention of others......"

In the end, in order to get Liu Chan to agree to Deng Ai's request, Pang Tong even put forward a reason that he couldn't refuse at all.

"Well, in that case, let's go to Shizai for this purchase. It's just that this trip to the elephant forest, there are many miasma and poisonous insects along the way, and Shizai must take precautions......"

Thinking about what Pang Tong said, it does make sense, after all, there are no towering giant trees in the greenhouse. So in the end, even if he was worried, Liu Chan finally agreed to Deng Ai's Mao Sui's self-recommendation and handed over the task of leading the caravan to purchase rice seeds.

……

"Gong ...... Childe, although it is more ...... to exchange wine for food More reasonable, not ...... It is not easy to arouse the nostalgia of others...... Doubtful, but the son of Mo ...... Have you forgotten the climate of Jiaozhou? ”

Looking at the goods prepared in front of him, the latest hero wine produced in Jingzhou accounted for the majority, but Deng Ai, the young caravan leader, hurriedly opened his mouth to remind Liu Chanlai.

"Climate? Rest assured, our hero wine is no better than other wines. Even if the climate in Jiaozhou is hot, there is no need to worry about it being broken. ”

Liu Chan, who thought that Deng Ai was worried that the climate in Jiaozhou was too hot, which would cause the wine to deteriorate at the high temperature, but he smiled confidently.

"Gong ...... Childe, Ai ...... Ai thought that Jiaozhou was located in Nanban, not ...... No better than the North. For the ...... The demand for spirits is fearing ...... I'm afraid it's not as good as the Northland. Moreover...... And this journey ...... The road is long and the road is rough, and this drink is afraid of it all the way...... I'm afraid it's not easy to transport......"

Seeing that Liu Chan misunderstood what he meant, Deng Ai quickly stammered and explained.

"Uh, yes, how did I forget about that!"

Hearing Deng Ai say this, Liu Chan, who was originally only thinking about how to make the rice purchase more 'reasonable' and less likely to attract the attention of others, also woke up in an instant.

How many people can like this when you go and recommend spirits that make you feel hot when you drink it to people who live in the tropics?

"Then replace it all with ice muscle paper and all kinds of poetry books, which are both light and ......"

After reacting that the spirits were indeed not suitable for a hot place like Jiaozhou, Liu Chan immediately replaced the goods of the caravan that went south to Jiaozhou this time.

"Childe, the teacher has ...... Zeng said that this Shixie has always pushed ...... It is better to respect Confucianism...... Prepare more Confucian classics such as the Six Classics......"

At the end of April in the twenty-first year of Jian'an, half a month apart, another caravan set off in Jiangling City.

It's just that, unlike the caravan that mainly transported wine to the north half a month ago, this time, they went along the Yangtze River and Xiangshui by water, heading towards Jiaozhou in the south, which they had never set foot in before.
