"The first one is Zassuri, a businessman from Brunei." Liu Mingqi's voice sounded, "Zassuri, where are you? Stand up and let me see you!"

With a "swish", a short, fat, dark-skinned Southeast Asian man stood up among the merchants.

He was so excited that he shivered: "Your Majesty! Do you still remember the villain?!"

"Of course I remember you." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Since the previous year, you have brought millions of tons of precious wood to Dakangyun according to our agreement... Not only my Chen Zhaoyi, but even the Governor of the Canal Transport Miao Yan praised you in front of me!"

"This... thanks to the praise from Chen Zhaoyi and Lord Miao, I am so sorry that I dare not take it!"

Zassuri smiled happily, but her expression was still very reserved.

He could even feel the envious look from the side.

Needless to say, Chen Zhaoyi was the goddess worshipped by all the maritime merchants.

The Queen of the Sea has wiped out more than 100,000 pirates. After the New Year this year, she has done something earth-shaking!

She actually went to attack Kyushu Island in Japan.

Japan Jiuzhou Island is a pirate nest, with at least more than a few hundred thousand people, and they all make a living by the pirate industry.

But so what?

Looking at the twenty giant warships of the Queen of the Sea, the Japanese did not even have the courage to fight, and then they were blocked in the port, burned the port, attacked the city, and slaughtered the city...

After a circle, the Otomo family, who was said to have participated in the destruction of the Chen family fleet, not only had seven cities destroyed, but more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, but even their Otomo Sono was cut off by his retainers and sent to the Queen of the Sea to apologize.

Look!

People can destroy a small country!

The news soon spread throughout the Nanyang Sea with the fleet of maritime merchants.

Under her intimidation, the remaining pirates were so scared that they could only surround the caravan, begging others for some rewards, and did not dare to use force at all.

Not bragging, it's something that's really happening.

That is, the pirates who are close to Brunei dare to do business openly, but they dare not do anything about killing and setting fire. The things that the Dragon King of the Sea was wiped out and the whole person was hung on the Dragon King Castle are still vivid in my mind. Dragon King Island is not far from Brunei!

Last year, Zassuri and his partners released the news. When they came out this year, there was no pirate who dared to come forward and blackmail.

Now that the emperor said, Chen Zhaoyi praised him very much, and his goods were confirmed to be for Chen Zhaoyi. Whoever dared to rob would be against the Queen of the Sea and would be seeking death by himself!

Apart from Chen Zhaoyi, Miao Yan is a person that cannot be ignored.

Today, businessmen from overseas countries understand and study Dakang's great officials as carefully and interested as those celebrities in the United States.

Miao Yan, the current governor of the grain transportation industry, will definitely be the prime minister in the future. It may be hard to say that the prime minister is, but the deputy prime minister is definitely stable.

Although there are rumors that Miao Yan almost killed the current emperor in the past, more smart people know that both the King of De and Liu Mingqi, who has become the emperor now, admire Miao Yan very much.

Otherwise, Miao Yan would not have been allowed to work on the Governor of the Canal Transportation Army forever, and he would also give him the power to recruit soldiers and vigorously develop the Canal Transportation Shipyard.

Besides, for Zasuri, his biggest buyer is the canal shipyard. Now Miao Yan praises him very much and proves that his goods are very good. Then it is definitely better to continue selling wood to make a fortune in the future.

Thoughts flashed by.

A palace maid here has already arrived in front of Zassuri with a plate.

An eunuch stepped forward and opened the plate.

There is a red fold inside.

The eunuch opened it and said loudly: "Brunei merchant Zassuri has made great contributions to the Dakang shipping industry. His Majesty the Emperor rewarded 1,000 portions of flower essential oil, 1,000 pounds of white sugar, and 1,000 pounds of white rabbit milk candy, and gave the Baron Yizheng of Zassuri, and all the treatments are the same as those of Dakang."

"Um!?"

"hiss……"

Zassuri was stunned.

All the princes, nobles and merchants present took a breath.

The previous reward is of course very good, but compared to the last reward, nothing is wrong!!

Wana Sabu, who contributed pepper the year before yesterday, also received generous rewards, and even had the latest luxury horse carriage.

But he has not been awarded a title!

Of course, this has something to do with Liu Mingqi not being the emperor at that time.

But a dignified Emperor Dakang actually gave a title to a merchant from a barbaric country as soon as he came up. Can you believe this?

It’s not OK to believe it!

Liu Mingqi said and wrote it down, and then it would not change!

After Zassuri reacted, he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Emperor! Your Majesty, treat me with kindness, and the villain will definitely be crushed to death to serve Your Majesty!!"

Tsk tsk!

He was so moved that he said, "You are my real father." Of course, he did not have this qualification, otherwise he would recognize his father immediately without saying a word.

But no one laughed at Zassuri. If it were them, they would have licked them even more powerfully.

"Get up!"

Liu Mingqi waved her hand and said, "Zasuri, go back and tell your companions that if you make greater contributions, you will get more! Dakang always welcomes those who contribute to us! What is a mere baron?"

“Wow…”

The people in the field exclaimed again.

Barons are nothing?

Then aren't the viscounts above the end?

Soon, Liu Mingqi confirmed his words with actions.

The boy said loudly: "The second person, Ali, a businessman from Baru Island... Where is Ali?"

A tall and equally black man suddenly stood up.

He was both surprised and happy.

Obviously, I didn't expect that the things I contributed would be loved and valued by the emperor.

Many people don’t know about the place of Baru Island. In fact, it is a small archipelago thousands of miles east of Sulu.

This small archipelago is just a dozen large and small islands, with a total population of less than 10,000. No one comes here on weekdays, and even pirates are unwilling to come to this place where birds don’t shit.

Ali is an islander on this small island, but when he grew up, he went to Sulu to make a living, gradually started doing business, and gained some savings.

Last year, when he heard that one of the richest princes in Dakang collected strange agricultural crops everywhere and were willing to give everyone a lot of money, he remembered a kind of jade wheat on Baru Island.

This herbaceous stalk plant will grow a bunch of sticks that look like topaz. After it is mature, pick it, peel it, boil it in water, or roast it on fire.

The yield of Yumai is good. They have not calculated the specific amount, but it is enough for everyone to eat.

Ali once brought this jade wheat to Sulu Kingdom, but people didn't like to eat smooth sago rice there. Rich people even wanted to eat wheat and rice. Who would like to eat jade wheat like a monkey?

Even poor people don’t want it because they can’t afford it. It’s better to go fishing or pick bananas to eat it.

Besides, in the climate of Nanyang Island, the preservation of jade mai cannot last long...

Due to various reasons, Yumai has never been able to leave Baru Island.

But last year, Ali heard that many people had given crops and plants to Prince Dakang and gained a lot of benefits, so he became interested in returning to Baru Island, brought seeds and finished products, and brought Yumai to Dakang and the Imperial Palace.

After Liu Mingqi returned from the Western Regions, she saw this Yumai.

The boy's eyes lit up the first time he saw it.

Damn it!

What kind of jade mai is this?

This is a stick!

Corn on the cob!!

I didn't expect that I had been pursuing for so long, and it actually appeared in front of me so magically!

The world's three major high-yield grains are the first to recommend sweet potatoes, followed by potatoes, and the third to be corn.

The yield of corn is not as high as sweet potatoes, and it is only about 1,300 kilograms per mu. In ancient Dakang, being able to have 700 kilograms per mu of land was considered to be a meticulous cultivation.

But corn is much better than sweet potatoes.

Not only can you make a variety of foods, but the taste and feeling of eating are also stronger than sweet potatoes. At least if you eat too much corn will not bloat, and you won’t like to spank.

If you get tired of sweet potatoes, you will get some corn, and that will be the best day.

Moreover, corn planting is also from south to north. Basically, 90% of the country can be planted and cannot be planted on a large scale. It is not worthy of being called a divine object given by God!

Now Dakang sweet potatoes are about to be promoted. As long as corn is promoted nationwide in three to five years, it is really a hundred years without worrying about starving people to death!

It doesn't exist!

Unless the women of Dakang make full efforts to raise the population from 150 million to 1 billion in one breath, it is impossible to shortage of food!

Unfortunately, Liu Mingqi was planning to breed well next year, like sweet potatoes. When one acre is about to produce, she would mention it to Jing Hedi and give him a surprise.

But the plan cannot compare with the changes. Before the corn harvest this year, such a big thing happened, and Liu Mingqi even took the throne himself.

So this great gift eventually became a gift for yourself.

Of course, Liu Mingqi still needs to reward this person who gave the big gift as usual.

"Ali, the corn you sent is very good. This thing will be a crop with a good yield in the future. In the famine era, my Dakang Shao will starve hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people." Liu Mingqi said to him: "So I must reward you well! Come on... take out my reward!"

So another eunuch followed the palace maid and came to Ali, and then read the post on the plate.

"Ali, a businessman from Baru Island, has made great contributions to my Dakang. I have specially rewarded 1,000 servings of flower essential oil, 1,000 kilograms of white sugar, 1,000 kilograms of white rabbit milk candy... and the Viscount of Yisui, all the treatments are the same as those of Dakang."
