"This is the seed?"
Fang Xing picked up a cracked plant fruit on the table. He broke the fruit and the seeds inside were colorful.
Lin Zheng stood on the side and said, "yes, uncle, after those trees are cut, white things will flow out. When they are collected, they can be made into balls, and then they can bounce. They can also be made into shoes, and they can not be afraid of water."
Fang Xing took the seed to his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then asked about the planting.
"The lower official brought more than ten local people this time. They can plant this kind of tree."
"Yes, you are very thoughtful."
Zhu gaoxu didn't have much interest in such things. He sat opposite and played with a small thing. Fang woke up and glanced at it and grabbed it.
"Is this... Corn?"
Fang woke up and looked at the thin thing, looked at the corn grains carefully, and said happily, "good thing! Your highness, with this highness and potatoes, Daming won't have to worry about starvation in the future!"
"God bless Daming!"
Fang Xing put his hands together piously. He was really thanking God for sending the species of corn.
With corn, Fang Xing believes that there is no need to worry about the lack of food in China for at least 300 years, so that there will be no famine caused by natural and man-made disasters in the late Ming Dynasty.
Zhu gaoxu pointed to the thin corn cob and frowned, "can you eat this thing?"
"Yes, although it's small now, we can cultivate it slowly. When I go back, I'll ask your majesty to let the people of the Department of fine vegetables cultivate improved varieties in the future."
Fang Xing carefully handed the corn cob to Lin Zheng and said, "you have experience. You are all good students and take good care of them. Turning back is great work."
Lin Zheng didn't know it was so important. He said, "Your Highness, uncle, I brought back a lot of gold and silver this time."
Fang Xing said with a smile, "no amount of gold and silver can be compared with rubber tree seeds and corn. Gold and silver are dead things, and rubber can be of great use. As for corn, it can be compared with potatoes in the future after breeding improved seeds."
Zhu gaoxu said gloomily, "then hurry back."
He couldn't wait to go back, just to change his fief.
"It's not urgent. Some things have to be arranged in advance, otherwise there will be many long dreams."
Zhu gaoxu said impatiently, "then make arrangements quickly."
Fang woke up and went out of the cabin. He found Fu Xian and said, "immediately send the people you trust most and the most solid ship to send these rubber seeds and those people to Sumatra. Tell Shi Jinqing that these seeds are more precious than gold and ask him to keep an eye on them."
Fu Xian responded in awe. Fang woke up and paced on the deck with his negative hand, his eyebrows locked.
"Also, tell him that the natives should pay more attention, not discriminate and despise, and teach them to speak and write in Ming Dynasty."
Fu Xian didn't know why, so he went to arrange the ship and crew himself.
Fang woke up and asked someone to get the food, telling him to take out the best food and technology.
More than ten natives were brought to Fang Xing's body trembling.
There was a wind on the deck and it was cool.
Fang Xing sat on the deck first and then pressed his hands.
Chen Mo winked and said, "sit down. Uncle told you to sit down. It's a great honor."
The natives had a lot of communication with the Ming people along the way. They could understand them by making gestures and saying simple words, such as "eat and sleep".
After the natives sat down one by one, Fang woke up and said slowly, "when you get here, you'll be treated as home. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. Don't be polite."
Then he looked at Chen mo.
I'm not a translator!
Chen Mo's face was bitter, and he even said that he was roughly expressing his goodwill.
Fang Xing smiled and said, "look at our skin color."
He pointed to his face, but didn't know he had been tanned. He said, "we all have the same skin color and look the same. We were a family five hundred years ago!"
Huangjinlu and others immediately looked at Chen Mo with suspicious eyes: when dealing with the natives at that time, this guy always liked to get close with similar skin color and appearance. Now it seems that he might be cheating.
Chen Mo feels wronged, but he doesn't dare to complain. His facial features are almost crowded into one place.
"Your credit is not small, your credit is not small. Go back and tell your majesty and reward them one by one."
Fang Xing made a promise, and Chen Mo immediately got up to thank him.
After appeasing them, there is a reward.
The fleet had just been filled with supplies in Sumatra, so the cooks were generous and all kinds of meat and vegetables were served together.
A jar of wine was brought and poured into a bowl.
Fang Xing raised his bowl and said, "you were sent away by Ben Bo himself. Now you have returned safely. It's worth celebrating. This bowl of wine is for you."
After drinking it, Fang woke up and saw that the natives were licking their lips. Obviously, they were very satisfied with Daming wine, so he said, "come and try Daming food."
Then there was a story of food winning people's hearts. After tasting Daming's food, the natives almost swallowed their tongues.
......
The fleet was divided into two parts again, one went to Sumatra and the other headed for Java led by Zhu gaoxu and Fang Xing.
Java is now a place of chaos. After Fang woke up and killed Mashan, it has become a place of demons.
The original nobles were knocked down one after another. The new nobles raised their flags, recruited troops everywhere, and then began to fight with the surrounding forces.
According to Shi Jinqing, Java is a vortex at the moment, sucking in life and coming out are only bones.
……
On a plain, there are three or five thousand people on both sides. They hold the most primitive weapons in their hands. Anyone who can have an iron knife can become a warrior.
The two sides were facing each other, and their dark faces were numb and ferocious.
This place has become a place of killing. If others don't die, you will die.
Fang Xing used to arm Mashan's command as an arbiter, but after a big victory, those people were drunk, and then they were raided and the whole army was destroyed.
Since then, there has been no peace in Java, and killing has become the theme.
Out of control, the natives involuntarily followed the ambitious guys to start the war. They hoped to grab the booty, even a dress.
The leaders on both sides looked at each other coldly. They didn't know anything. They just waited for the opportunity with their feeling.
People on both sides gradually became restless. The two leaders began to get nervous. They stared at each other, sneered, and began to wave their long knives.
The mood on both sides gradually began to rise. The leader on the right suddenly raised his knife and shouted, like killing a chicken.
Then his men burst out a cry and began to impact.
"Kill them all!"
People on both sides shouted that they were really ready to kill all their opponents, and then hung their heads around their waist to show off their martial courage.
The two groups of people slammed into each other, and then screams and shouts rang through the plain.
The wooden gun stabbed into his opponent's chest. Before he could pull it out, an iron knife on the edge cut into his neck.
When the blood splashed, the split native roared, rushed to hold his opponent, opened his yellow and black teeth, and bit his opponent's neck.
They fell heavily to the ground and tried to bite each other, like two beasts.
Fighting is everywhere, and the animal roar dominates the land.
"What are they fighting for?"
In the woods on the side, Zhu gaoxu frowned and said, "just these people, the king can defeat them with a hundred households. Fang Xing, that's what you said to be careful? Where's your courage?"
Fang Xing was wearing plate armour and felt a little depressed. He said casually, "the people here are crazy. We can't underestimate the enemy and defeat them, and then go to the top three forces. As soon as we defeat them, we'll return home."
Zhu gaoxu said displeased, "don't you completely conquer them? The king only needs a thousand households to sweep the big island."
Fang woke up with a black line on his face and said, "Your Highness, we should first ensure the safety of Shi Jinqing and let them make a fuss here. After the rubber tree is successfully planted, we will clean it up at that time."
