Chapter 11 A little excited [Eighth month
After coming out of the Zhuque Tower, Liu Mingqi's heart was bleeding.
In just one game, two girls were invited to accompany him and let Xiao Zhenzhu sleep with His Royal Highness. Zhuque Tower dared to offer a sky-high price of 800 taels of silver.
Did I look down at the city on the top floor of a skyscraper?
Did Aunt Yang show me the dance?
Diamonds?
Can I make money by uploading it for a fee?
Ahem!
It's crooked, come back quickly.
That is, Prince Yu's mansion is rich now, otherwise Princess Yu would have to use money like this.
The boy now only wants to make Uncle Du feel good, so he quickly discuss with himself how to get sweet potatoes, otherwise it would be shameful to waste!
Perhaps it was the boy's "sincerity" that alarmed God. At noon the next day, Du Lifeng changed his clothes and came to Prince Yu's Mansion.
When Du Lifeng saw Liu Mingqi, he felt a little embarrassed, but he bowed to the end: "Your Highness, thank you! Last night was the happiest time in my life!"
"Haha, Xiao Du, you underestimate life too much!" Liu Mingqi patted his shoulder, "There are many things to do in life, and you will know it later!"
Du Lifeng was a little embarrassed, but full of expectations.
The future that Liu Mingqi portrayed him was exactly what he longed for!
What's good about Cebu?
Poor, dirty and messy, countless birds and insects, endless typhoons, endless smell of fish, endless vast sea...
Where is the little bit better from the Dakang Dynasty?
In the past, he wanted to stay in Dakang Dynasty for the rest of his life, but reality made him realize that it was impossible because he didn't have the qualification.
It's different now. He met the prince of the Dakang Dynasty and was destined to be a good friend of a prince in the future.
Although the princes of the Dakang Dynasty did not have much power, the emperor would give them a lot of food and money, and then allow them to do a lot of business.
As long as His Royal Highness Liu Mingqi can take care of me a little, I will be able to live well in Dakang Chao!
Not to mention that Sister Xiao Zhenzhu let him taste the most wonderful taste last night, he even thought that Da Kang Chao was the best and the highest in the capital!
"Okay, let's talk about something small now." Liu Mingqi said inadvertently, "I'm ready here. When can I get someone back and bring me some golden gourds and golden gourd seeds?"
"This!"
Du Lifeng smiled. He didn't understand why the prince liked Jingua. Although Jingua is good, it can't compare with Dakang's various delicacies.
But Liu Mingqi likes Jingua and wants to get Jingua, but it happens to be something he can do for this friend. How could he refuse?
"There is a group of guards in my mansion. I will arrange two people to accompany your ship at that time." Du Lifeng said: "It may take five or six months to go there, and it is very hard! Isn't the next time my guards come on a merchant ship and tell them to send them to the next time?"
"No, no, it's time for the next year. I am anxious and want to taste the various ways of making golden gourds." Liu Mingqi shook her hand and said, "Let's do this, send two more guards so that we can find a better way."
"good!"
Du Lifeng nodded indifferently.
Liu Mingqi added another seemingly inadvertently: "By the way, if there are any new plants, crops, and those that can be brought with them, I see, maybe it will be useful?"
"good!"
Du Lifeng still agreed readily.
But he didn't know the boy's real plan.
When Du Lifeng left, Liu Mingqi immediately asked someone to call his uncle Xu Dongping back.
After Xu Dongping returned from Hebei, he has been working in the newly opened flower essential oil shop for a while, learning how to sell flower essential oils and how to deal with these noble ladies.
Oh, it was wrong.
There are still many men who come to buy it.
After all, even the emperor and the ministers of the prime ministers used it, so there is nothing to be ashamed of men using floral essential oil.
When he returned to Jiangnan after a while, the first group of sales staff in his family had to rely on Xu Dongping's guidance, so he had to study hard.
"My uncle, have their two fleets started to rest and repair?" the young man asked.
"Don't worry, they are all my old friends, not to mention that the price you gave this time is so high. Both fleets have equipped you with the best big ships and veterans." Xu Dongping said, and then hesitated a little, "Xiao Qi, are you too exaggerating? Just a mere crop, worthy of your fanfare, and solemnity?"
"Uncle, you just need to know that this matter is more important than all the things you have done in your life, that's enough." Liu Mingqi said seriously, "so you must be cautious and cautious, I don't have to make any mistakes."
"Okay, I understand!" Xu Dongping hesitated for a moment, "Why should I go there in person?"
"Forget it, the sea is vast, what will happen if something is bad." Liu Mingqi quickly stopped him, "If it doesn't work once, we can send a fleet again for the second time. Anyway, there will be success once. If you lose it, you won't be able to find it."
Xu Dongping nodded.
To be honest, he still didn't understand that Liu Mingqi would be so confident that she felt that this golden gourd was so important.
Look at his actions.
In early July, Xu Dongping helped contact marine merchants in Fujian and Guangdong, and found two of them with the largest business and the best reputation.
He found three ships in these two fleets and formed two fleets.
This is nothing. What's even more exaggerated is that Liu Mingqi ordered the two fleets to carry Du Lifeng's two guards separately, and they must set off half a month apart. This obviously prevents the other fleet from playing a role after one fleet is wiped out.
So careful, I can't get any golden gourds, I'm just going to move gold.
Xu Dongping had eaten dried gourd, but he had no characteristics except that he felt the taste was OK.
So he doesn't understand.
But at the same time, Xu Dongping understood one thing better than his brother Xu Dongsheng, that is, the Prince Yu's Mansion will soon be in the future. Liu Mingqi will definitely have to hold a lot of power and even replace her parents in the end.
The beauty of a gentleman is only three generations, let alone such a love affair.
If the Xu family wants to better tie up with Prince Yu's Mansion in the future and use them to develop and strengthen themselves, then they must establish a good relationship with Liu Mingqi.
This time when I was sailing back to Jingua, Liu Mingqi attached so much importance to it, and the Xu family must not take it lightly.
Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you fail once or twice. The key is that if Liu Mingqi is dissatisfied with the Xu family, that is the most terrifying thing.
"In addition, I have also told them to do what you want to purchase, and they will be delivered to the fleet within a month." Xu Dongping continued, "Cebu Kingdom has really been released this time. Some of the mere golden gourds can actually get so many gifts."
"It's up to us that we've made a profit." Liu Mingqi said first, "My uncle, please check the people you sent clearly, don't let them transfer the bag, or use inferior products as good ones."
"Don't worry, they know that they are amazing." Xu Dongping promised.
This time, the servants who sent the boat were all veterans with more than ten years of experience in the Grand Canal. They were all children from the Xu family, and their loyalty was full.
Our descendants of China are very polite.
Liu Mingqi had told Xu Dongping before that the two fleets would buy more specialties from Dakang Chao, such as porcelain, silk, cloth, tung oil, horse boots, etc., and send them to Cebu Country together.
Since he wanted to take other people's things, even with Du Lifeng's words, the king would definitely be willing to give these golden gourds all over the mountains and fields, and then give some unique crops there as a boost.
But if you could bring gifts in the past, the king would definitely be happier. Isn’t it better to choose the golden gourd to give you more care and ensure that the golden gourd can survive and arrive at Liu Mingqi’s side smoothly?
The vision of being a human being must be long-term.
After a while, they will have a good relationship. If there is anything to bother them next time, they will of course take the initiative to do it actively.
Just thinking about getting something but not giving, dealing with others will not last long.
...
After seeing Xu Dongping away, Liu Mingqi sat alone under the shade of the garden, slowly tasting the dried gourd.
The sweet smell is transmitted from the teeth and tongue coating to the whole body.
Children born after the 1980s really rarely feel what poverty and hunger are.
It’s not the kind of poverty I imagined that I can’t afford to buy a rich man and even an Apple phone; it’s not the kind of hunger I imagined that I can’t afford to eat a steak that costs more than 1,000 yuan per serving in a high-end restaurant.
It is this kind of poverty and hunger that is truly threatened by death.
Liu Mingqi used to see it in books and videos, and it was shocking. Now that she has experienced this locust plague in person, Liu Mingqi has definitely experienced it deeply.
A few days ago, he took Dazhu and his guards to quietly leave the city and arrived at several small villages fifty miles away from the capital. The shocking scene he saw greatly shocked the heart growing under the red flag.
This is still in the Jingji area, and there are still various disaster relief activities. Xiong Wenqing and Miao Yan are even better officials and capable officials, and they can only maintain this appearance.
So what about the two lakes in Shandong, which is farther and more miserable?
What kind of scene will it be after the locust plague?
A situation where bones and uninhabited people may appear.
This also made the idea of "looking for sweet potatoes for benefiting the people of Dakang" immediately sublimated to the sense of responsibility of "I want to save more lives."
Today, the "Sweet Potato Battle" was officially finalized, which also made the young man feel a little relieved and full of longing for the future.
Du Lifeng's guards followed his uncle's men all the way south along the Grand Canal, then took a boat to Fujian and Guangdong in Hangzhou, and then officially set out to Cebu Country. If there was no accident, sweet potatoes would appear in front of Liu Mingqi within seven months at the latest.
Sweet potatoes are annual crops that can be planted in March of the lunar calendar and harvested in August. If they are first-generation sweet potatoes that have not been carefully cultivated, they may wait until September to harvest them again.
Although it can only plant one season a year, the terrifying harvest is enough to offset all shortcomings.
