Chapter 507: Agarwood, Agarwood!

The island is not inhabited, and there are tall trees growing everywhere, and these trees are different from Guanzhong, most of them have broad leaves, some are high at the top, and even have a circle of green fruits.

It is very different from the customs of Guanzhong and Shandong.

"Childe, these fruits look like papaya, but they are different from papaya, although the shell is hard, the inside is delicious and juicy, and it can be eaten......"

The leader of the Ge family, named Ge Li, who came with him this time, was a man in his forties and fifties, with a dark complexion, a stocky figure, wearing a capable short shirt, and looking very capable.

He consciously introduced the situation on the island to Gongzi Gao, showing the value of his caravan's existence.

"Further on, there is a slightly higher flat land that can be used for camping, and in the past, when our family came and settled here, we settled in that area......

Childe Gao nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

This time, it is indeed a lot more convenient to bring the Ge family's fleet over.

It was not the first time that everyone had gone to sea, and the team quickly settled down, pitching tents and starting fires, while some people had already built simple stoves with gravel from the island, and began to boil water for cooking.

Ge Li was affirmed by Gongzi Gao, and he had more and more desire to perform.

"Childe, there don't seem to be any fierce birds and beasts on these islands, but they are killing everywhere, just like the water sources on these islands, some of them hide the breath of plague, once people eat it by mistake, they will vomit and diarrhea, and they may lose their lives if they are seriously ill at worst......

After speaking, seeing that Gongzi Gao just smiled very gently, and did not have any other reaction, Ge Li thought that his words did not attract enough attention from Gongzi Gao.

After a moment's hesitation, he repeated it quite seriously.

"Childe, when you go to sea, you can't take the water at will, if you can't collect the rainwater, try to use the living water of the mountain spring, don't be careless, these are the lessons that our Ge family has exchanged for their lives......"

Childe smiled and nodded.

"I know, thank you Mr. Gaoyi, Mr. don't worry, these things, before we went to sea, the imperial grandson had already sent someone to tell ......"

Speaking of which, he added very mildly.

"Actually, in addition to collecting rainwater and extracting water from mountain springs, there are also methods of distilling seawater and charcoal filtration to obtain water, and it is best not to drink cold water from these places just in case, but to boil it before drinking it......"

At this time, Ge Li noticed that none of the people brought by Gongzi Gao, whether they were court officials or ordinary soldiers, drank cold water directly.

There was even a phenomenon where several people stared at a pot and waited in line for hot water there.

Immediately knew that what Gongzi Gao said was true, but he was a little self-righteous, and he laughed generously.

I couldn't help but blush slightly.

Fortunately, he has been floating on the sea all the year round, exposed to the wind and sun, his face is black, whether he is red or not, and he can't see how it is.

Gongzi Gao was originally a very kind and gentle person, but when he saw that Gree was silent at this time, he thought that he was a little confused, and he pointed out a few words considerately.

"The imperial grandson said that after the water is boiled, the plague gas in it will be destroyed—of course, it is best to have living water......

Although Ge Li was slightly embarrassed in his heart, he secretly wrote down the methods that Gongzi Gao said.

Be prepared to take a chance and learn again, distilling seawater, and the kind of water that can be filtered with charcoal to get clean water. These methods, I don't know when, can become the hole cards of the children of the clan to save their lives.

Although there are well-decorated rooms on board, who wants to continue to drift on the sea after a group of people have been at sea for so long and can go ashore to live?

Childe Gao is no exception.

This down-to-earth feeling always makes people feel extra reassuring.

Although it has entered the second half of June, the night on Wangqin Island is not as hot and dry as imagined, and the cool night breeze blows from the sea, with a refreshing smell.

Childe Gao was tired from a hard day, and after a simple dinner, he was ready to rest.

However, as soon as his body touched the bed, he heard the faint sound of Lu Matong and the guards talking in a low voice, which seemed to be asking to see him.

He sat up with some surprise and put on his robe again.

Soon, he heard the guards outside cautiously asking for instructions.

"Enlightened son, General Lu asks to see ......"

"Let him in......"

Gongzi is a little gentle, he doesn't have many tricks, and he doesn't have many great talents, but he is not stupid, Lu Matong will definitely not be untargeted when he asks to see him at this time.

"The minister greets the childe-"

As soon as Lu Matong entered the door, he hunched his waist, trotted two steps very dogged, and stepped forward to bow to his son. Childe Gao couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"General Lu, you don't need to be so ......"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, etiquette cannot be abolished, even so, it is not enough to express the courtier's respect and admiration for you......"

Lu Matong's face became more and more humble, and his tone became more and more respectful.

Gongzi shook his head with a smile, looked at Lu Matong, who couldn't hide his joy, and asked in a very gentle tone.

"General Lu, you suddenly came to me at this time, didn't you find something......

When Lu Matong heard this, he nodded excitedly.

"When the minister was patrolling at night, he found that the Ge family living in the periphery was acting differently, so he personally led people to follow them secretly, and found out their big secret......"

As he spoke, Lu Matong stretched out his hand and took out a yellow and white piece of yellow and white from his arms, with an uneven surface and a look like dead wood, and came to him as if offering a treasure.

"Childe, please look, what kind of ...... is this?"

Gongzi Gao reached out to take it with some wonder, it was very light, delicate and warm with a hint of astringency, and he looked carefully in front of the light, and he could find the subtle brown markings in it, and the most shocking thing for him was that there was a refreshing medicinal fragrance from the end of his nose.

"It's spice!"

Childe Gao couldn't help but light up!

Lu Matong saw that Gongzi Gao had discovered the value of this piece of wood, and immediately nodded excitedly.

"I took people to see it, this spice actually grows on the tree, all over the mountains, like rotten firewood in our gate, if we bring it back, it will really make a fortune......

Gongzi Gao naturally knows that if it is really a spice, how much value is hidden in it.

Immediately put the spice in his hand on the torch and lit it, and suddenly the refreshing medicinal fragrance spread, which made his whole person feel shocked, and even his breath felt refreshed!

His eyes lit up.

"Good stuff!"

"This Wangqin Island is the property of our imperial court, how can we allow outsiders to steal the property of our imperial court at will, do you want the ministers to go out now and stop them from ......"

Gongzi Gao couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

But he was a kind man after all, and he couldn't do such a shameless thing, so he shook his head after a long time.

"Forget it, after all, this was discovered by people first, and let them go out with them, it was also said a long time ago, but now they have reversed themselves and robbed other people's money, and their faces are a little unsightly after all......"

Lu Matong didn't hesitate without hesitation, and gave a bow to Gongzi Gaoshen.

"Childe is noble, it is the minister's thoughtfulness, and he almost ruined the reputation of the son, please forgive the son......"

Childe smiled and waved his hand.

"General Lu is also for the sake of the imperial court, his loyalty is commendable, where is there any crime......"

Today's inadvertent discovery made both of them excited, and immediately gathered in Gongzigao's room to discuss for a long time, and all the plans for collecting spices the next day were discussed.

It wasn't until he walked far away that Lu Matong couldn't help but stop, glanced back at the tent where Gongzi Gao was, and secretly pouted.

This fourth son is a little pedantic in the end.

Such a huge benefit, if it is placed outside, it can already be used to wipe out the family, if all of them are brought back to Xianyang, how much credit will it have? He even cared about what kind of face, and let the people of the Ge family collect it!

However, he slandered in his heart, but he knew that he was rich and noble, and he was all tied to this son.

If it weren't for this pedantic nature, maybe there would be no place for me today.

Early the next morning, when he saw Lu Matong standing in front of him with a few spices, Ge Li knew that the secret of his family had been discovered, and his face was a little unnatural.

However, before that, they did not want to continue to enjoy the profits of these spices alone.

In fact, although they had drifted to this island by accident and found this valuable spice on this island, they did not have the ability to bring it back intact.

In this era, private individuals simply simply cannot afford to cross the ocean and deal with the wind and waves at sea.

Every voyage is almost a big gamble.

Rather than guarding this secret, it is better to use the power of the imperial court to transport some more back, in fact, as long as you can successfully transport it back, it is enough to cover the huge risks that several generations have taken, and you don't even know how many people in the clan can lose the benefits that can be called.

If it is discovered later, before the secret is discovered, it can be transported a few more times, and it will really make a lot of money!

At this time, knowing that the secret had been discovered in advance, he had no choice but to accept this fact.

"The general came just in time, and the villain was about to report to the childe-"

Speaking of which, Ge Li said very sincerely.

"Yesterday, the villain brought the person, accidentally found an unknown spice on this island, early this morning, was about to report to the childe, but I didn't expect the general to find out, what a coincidence......"

"It's a coincidence—"

Lu Matong took over with a smile.

"I came here today to tell my husband the news. Childe's side has decided to stay here for a few days to collect this spice for the imperial court first......"

After speaking, he arched his hand meaningfully and turned to leave.

Behind him, Ge Li's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he hesitated for a long time, but finally he couldn't let go of the interests that had been eaten in his mouth, and whispered orders to the entourage beside him.

"Notify it, don't hide it, collect it immediately, the sooner the better!"

Since these spices have been discovered by the people of the imperial court, it is natural to take advantage of the fact that the people of the imperial court are not familiar with how to find and collect these spices and collect them as soon as possible.

After the order was passed down, he stood still and hesitated for a moment, but turned around and walked towards Ge Yun's tent.

Although he is an old man in the clan and is responsible for the maritime trade in the clan, this matter has been involved with the imperial court, and after all, he still needs Ge Yun, a junior who is highly regarded by the prince, to mediate to avoid the people of the court from turning their faces on the spot and losing their own family.

This time I went to sea, but it was a major event related to the rise and fall of the family for a hundred years.

Soon, the people of the imperial court took action, except for Fan Hao and a few pro-soldiers, almost everyone was sent out by Gongzi Gao to look for agarwood.

And he had already begun to take out the map and look at the large scattered islands in front of him.

Eyes are getting brighter!

Sure enough, as his eldest nephew said, there are many rare treasures overseas, and gold is everywhere!

It's like picking it up for nothing.

In fact, in this era, this island is almost still a primitive island, and many natural spices are thrown there like tattered, let the wind and sun shine, and drop dust.

Some are even thousands of years old.

It makes people blush and their hearts beat when they see it.

Even if the son is tall and calm, he can't help but pound for a long time.

At noon, he personally selected some spices that looked older from the spices sent back by his soldiers and asked people to send them to Xu Fu.

Pray to the ghosts and gods for His Majesty, ask for the elixir of immortality, and naturally burn the best spices.

I only hope that these newly obtained spices can win the favor of the ghosts and gods and have a miraculous effect.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction where Xianyang was from afar.

Separated by a sea of clouds, I don't know how Aweng's body is at this moment?

……

"Say, what happened to the father's body?"

Zhao Ying looked down at the several medical officers in front of him, his expression was serious, and there was already a hint of danger in his eyes. He is tall and burly, and he is an invincible general who personally led the troops and swept across the desert to pacify the Yue clan, and he himself has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

This kind of momentum is just usually covered up by his gentle and humble words and deeds, at this time, with a straight face, that momentum suddenly overwhelmed Sun Li and the others.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Several people were trembling, sweating profusely, and they were about to be unable to withstand it, when they suddenly heard a laugh and scolding with a little relaxation at the door.

"What can I do with my body, but I'm just occasionally infected with a little bit of wind chill, ......what are you doing here to scare them?"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Sun Li and the others, who were trembling and quail-like, and frowned slightly.

"What are you still standing here, why don't you get out of here-"

When Zhao Ying saw the First Emperor appear, his momentum was retracted.

Sun Li and the others suddenly felt relieved, secretly glanced at Zhao Ying, saw Zhao Ying waved his hand impatiently, and immediately turned around and retreated as if he had been amnestied.

Without His Majesty's permission, if they were given eighteen more dares, they would not dare to expose His Majesty's condition.

However, the emperor's grandson was angry, which was really scary. (End of chapter)
