Soon, one by one, the boxes were opened.

Boxes of all sorts of things are displayed in front of you.

Jewelry and gold are secondary, and neither Fang Yuan nor Wang Jue looks down on them.

There are also some medicinal herbs that make Fang Yuan move, but what is even more exciting are some live saplings.

"Is this a tomato?"

Fang Yuan stroked a seedling with some excitement.

"Yes, the locals describe it as you say."

"And this pepper, it's pretty much the same as you said."

Wang Shiyu bowed.

Before leaving, Fang Yuan had told him.

Ask him to find some plants and describe the characteristics of the plants.

During that time, she asked the local people to search for them at a high price, and found a total of three.

Tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes!

Although he didn't know their role, Wang Shiyu still brought them back according to Fang Yuan's request.

"Good, good, good!"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but say yes again and again.

Wang Qi and Wang Shiyu, who were on the side, were surprised.

It's just a few seedlings, do you need to be so excited?

Although the gold and silver jewelry themselves are not worth it, the medicinal herbs and glittering things brought back are still quite attractive.

"Fang Yuan, are they worth your excitement?"

Wang Shiyu asked curiously.

"It's worth it, it's worth it."

"I don't want any of these things, I just want them."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Only he knows the importance of these things.

If you can grow a living, the future value is immeasurable, and it will bring great benefits to people.

It can be said that as long as the sweet potatoes are planted alive, the number of people who will starve to death naturally in the future will be greatly reduced.

"Okay."

Wang Shiyu didn't understand, so he didn't ask more.

Everything she wanted was shipped back, and it was still a big profit.

This time, he not only made countless money, but also brought back a lot of rare treasures from the Western Regions.

After I come back, I will open a store in the Western Regions, specializing in selling things from the Western Regions, and I believe that I will definitely make a lot of money.

"Wang Xiang, just pick a few."

Fang Yuan got up, looked at Wang Qi and said.

"Then you're welcome."

Wang Qi's eyes lit up and he walked to the side.

It was some precious medicinal herbs, and it looked like it was a long time old.

Then Wang Jue picked out two more sparkling things, and I felt that they were both of extraordinary value.

After picking three pieces, Wang Qi held something in both hands, although his eyes were still a little reluctant, but enough was enough.

"Shiyu, except for the plants sent to the Fang Mansion, the rest will be left to you to deal with."

"Also, ask Miaoyan if they have anything they want, and if so, let them pick and choose."

Fang Yuan said.

What the Maritime Silk Road wanted most was to bring in some crops.

The second is to take Datang's things out, then make a sum of money, and then buy their things back.

In this way, not only the purpose was achieved, but also a lot of money was made.

"Okay."

"But you better let someone else do it, I prefer to go to sea"

Wang Shiyu smiled sweetly, very happy.

Fang Yuan was able to hand over these rare treasures in front of him to deal with himself, which showed that he trusted himself.

But I'm tired from traveling thousands of miles back and forth, and I don't want to deal with it anymore, so let someone else handle it, anyway, it's all to sell.

When Wang Qi on the side heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

Silly girl, you don't want to deal with it, you leave it to our Wang family to deal with.

But he didn't say anything, Fang Yuan had already nodded.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone again."

Fang Yuan had no opinion.

Seeing this, Wang Qi could only sigh in his heart.

In the final analysis, these things are still Fang Yuan's, and it is Fang Yuan who really calls the shots.

Although he wanted Wang Shiyu to hand over the handling power to the Wang family, he also had to get Fang Yuan's consent.

This kind of thing that can make a lot of money, Fang Yuan will definitely not give it to the Wang family, and Wang Qi will not ask boringly.

"Ruyi, you keep a strict guard for a few days, and I'll go back and let Miaoyan arrange manpower."

Fang Yuan told Wu Ruyi to watch, and then left with Wang Shiyu and the others.

"Okay, don't worry."

Wu Ruyi nodded heavily and immediately asked people to close the box.

It didn't take long for Fang Yuan and the others to return to Chang'an City and separate from each other.

Fang Yuan returned to Fangfu, and Wang Shiyu and Wang Qi returned to Wang's house.

"Girl, there are so many good things, why don't you take a little?"

As soon as Wang Qi thought of those rare treasures, he was ready to move.

It's all good, it's all good, it's all good.

Even if you don't sell it, it's very comfortable to collect.

"My goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter if I want it or not."

Wang Shiyu shook her head and smiled indifferently.

What she saw along the way greatly improved her knowledge.

She knows that there are not only Datang in this world, but also many places.

On the way back, he also met people from other countries who could not understand their language.

I originally wanted to go and see it, but when I thought that Fang Yuan and the others were waiting for me to go back, there was no delay.

Otherwise, Wang Shiyu wanted to go on an expedition to see where it was and what the people were like.

"You stupid girl, you don't want it, you can give it to your people."

Wang Qi complained.

"Uncle, this Silk Road is supported by Fang Yuan, and almost everything is done by Fang Yuan."

"I have a lot to do with this success, but if I don't have it, there will be people who will succeed, and I can't go too far."

"If my people want to, bear with us, and the next time we invest it, won't we have more returns?"

Wang Shiyu stopped and said seriously.

Wang Jue looked at Wang Shiyu with some surprise, and felt that this niece seemed to have changed.

Not only the tone of his speech, but also his expression has changed, and he has become more assertive.

"You're right, it's Shu Menglang."

"Your success this time gives us hope, with you setting sail in person, our Wang family can also get more opportunities."

Wang Jue pondered for a moment, thought about it and said.

Yes, Wang Shiyu is right, you can get more returns on your next investment.

As long as Wang Shiyu is in charge of the fleet that sails, then their Wang family will get a steady stream of rewards, and there is no need to stare at this time.

"Thank you, uncle, for your understanding."

Wang Shiyu said with a smile.

"You've grown up, and you're good."

"Go back and dress up, and go to the palace with your uncle for a banquet in the evening."

Wang Qi said with a smile.

The two returned to the royal house side by side.

As everyone brought back the news one after another, the news of the success of the Maritime Silk Road was spread.

Few people know about the beginning of the Maritime Silk Road, but not no one knows, and the children of high-ranking officials and nobles all know.

When more people knew about the Maritime Silk Road, they all started to talk about the importance of the Maritime Silk Road.

Thinking of the importance of the land Silk Road, people are amazed at the importance of the maritime Silk Road.

Especially after hearing that countless treasures had been brought back, people were even more shocked.

"The land Silk Road has been used for thousands of years, so is the maritime Silk Road also the same?"

"Fang Shilang single-handedly built the Maritime Silk Road, and his contribution is in the future, is it time to be promoted?"

"I'm looking forward to what the Maritime Silk Road has brought back, and whether it will change our lives."

There was a lot of talk.

They are all curious about what the Maritime Silk Road brought back.

As if to satisfy people's curiosity, Du Miaoyan opened a store the day after it was shipped back.

The store did not do business, but in the store there were all kinds of goods shipped back from the Western Regions, all of which were rare and rare that Datang did not have.

For a while, people flocked to it, and the door was crowded to watch.

"Great news!"

"The institute has shown that the Maritime Silk Road has brought back three crops, one of which is comparable to rice and wheat, and if it can be successfully planted, the number of people who will starve to death will be greatly reduced in the future, and the days of starvation will no longer exist!"

Suddenly, someone shouted in the middle of the city.

The sound rang again and again, and soon reached everyone's ears.

For a moment, people were silent, and then they went crazy, all in disbelief.

The research institute had already moved, but those who were unwilling to move remained in Chang'an City, and Fang Yuan did not stop their research.

The three plants are currently being sent to the research institute for cultivation, so that they can ensure the growth of the three plants in the best way.

Immediately, under the command of Du Miaoyan, they announced the three plants today and announced them to the world.

She is now going to make a king, let more people know about Fang Yuan, and erect merits for Fang Yuan.

"What fetish?"

"What kind of artifact is it?"

People were completely shocked and wanted to see it.

But apart from announcing the news, the institute did not mean to give people a view.

At the same time, Li Shimin, who was in the palace, also learned the news.

Last night, when the ministers were invited to the banquet, everyone drank very happily.

But Fang Yuan only said that the harvest was good, but he didn't say what he had gained.

"Chuan Fangyuan, I want to ask clearly!"

Li Shimin was impatient and immediately announced Fangyuan.

It can be compared to rice and wheat, it is definitely a great artifact.

Not a day has gone since he succeeded to the throne that the people have not gone hungry.

Under these circumstances, Li Shimin hopes to produce more food than anyone else.

It didn't take long for Fang Yuan to arrive.

"It's exactly as the Institute says."

"But I thought it hadn't been cultivated yet, so I didn't explain it in advance."

Fang Yuan admits and explains.

He didn't even know that the research institute would announce it.

It is estimated that Du Miaoyan meant, and she asked the people from the research institute to announce it.

"I want to see it."

Li Shimin couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, it is being cultivated now, and too many people are easy to come into contact with."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"Okay."

"Why did the institute announce it in advance?"

"Now that there is a lot of uproar, what if someone has bad intentions?"

Li Shimin felt regretful, and then frowned slightly.

Now the whole Chang'an City is talking about this matter, but Fang Yuan said that it is still being cultivated.

If the cultivation is not successful in the end, what will happen to the expectations of myself and the people?

And it could put the opposition at risk.

"I'm sorry, I'm going back and criticizing them."

Fang Yuan said he was sorry.

"When will the Second Maritime Silk Road begin?"

Li Shimin continued to ask.

Because of the success of the first one, he is now desperate for a second start.

If you don't make money the first time, then you must make more good things the second time.

"Your Majesty, scarcity is precious, we just went to the Western Regions, and the things have not been digested, at least three months later."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

On the one hand, goods should be digested and disseminated in the Western Regions, so that more people know that Datang is operating the Maritime Silk Road.

On the other hand, Wang Shiyu has been tired for so long, so she has to rest well and check if there is any problem with the ship.

"What do you think about three months?"

Li Shimin was slightly disappointed.

Three months, plus the round-trip time and distribution time, is more than half a year has passed.

Half a year is a bit long, but it's not very long, and it's still within the acceptable range.

"I'm going to build two more ships, seven ships in total."

"Among them, my business will occupy two ships, and the rest will be distributed between His Majesty and the princes."

"But Your Majesty and the princes will give me 10% of the earnings, which is considered to be my boat fare."

Fang Yuan said with his thoughts.

After the first success, the next second and third times cannot still start on their own.

Even if he wants to eat alone, the emperor and other ministers will not agree, and the resistance will be very, very great, after all, the benefits are so great.

Moreover, Fang Yuan didn't think that he could swallow such a big benefit, and only when money and everyone earned could they coexist for mutual benefit.

"Five. Then I will also have two, and the rest will be allocated to them. ”

Li Shimin muttered, and then his eyes became sharp.

There are seven ships in total, Fang Yuan is the master, and it is completely reasonable to account for two.

There are five ships left, and he is the emperor, and it makes sense to occupy two more ships.

The last three remaining, although a little less, believe that they have to endure if they have opinions.

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

It was enough for him to ask for two, and the rest would be arranged for Li Shimin.

This is a risk transfer, and those who have opinions will only have opinions about Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin is the emperor, even if he has an opinion, he doesn't dare to be too obvious.

This is a perfect plan for both Fangyuan and the Maritime Silk Road.

"In that case, then I will announce to the world that the Maritime Silk Road has officially begun!"

"Anyone who feels that he has a special product in his hands can apply to the imperial court, and those who pass it can come and bring the special product to the sea for trading."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly.

He is an emperor, and in addition to staring at making money, he also thinks about the demeanor of a great country.

He wants overseas countries to know that Datang is a country of abundance, with a vast land and abundant resources, and everything.

If the goods sent from all over the world can sell well overseas, then the imperial court will strongly support it, and there is no need for the imperial court to bother thinking about what to sell.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but give Li Shimin a thumbs up.

In this way, it is equivalent to providing a platform for people from all over the country to buy.

If someone's things are popular, then promote that person's things, similar to a certain treasure in later generations.

In this regard, Fang Yuan regretted that he didn't think of such a good way.

But in fact, just thinking about it, Fang Yuan would not execute it.

Because of discord, I don't have to continue to do it myself.

Next, Li Shimin announced to the world that the Maritime Silk Road was officially opened.

Among them, he also indicated the importance of the Maritime Silk Road in his announcement.

For a time, the whole country responded, and many families and ordinary people began to act and apply to the imperial court.

Compared with the response from all over the country, the magnates of Chang'an City were mixed with joy and sorrow, and they were distressed by the three ships assigned by Li Shimin.

Three is too little, they want more.
