Chapter 1918: God Bless Daming

"This is the seed?"

Fang Xing picked up a cracked plant fruit on the table, he broke open the fruit, and the seeds inside were colorful.

Lin Zheng stood on the side and said, "Yes, Uncle, when those trees are cut open, white things will flow out. When collected, they can be made into balls, which can bounce. They can also be made into shoes, so they don't need to be afraid of water."

Fang Xing held the seeds in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully, then asked about the planting situation.

"Xiaguan brought more than ten local natives this time, and they can plant this kind of tree."

"Yes, you are very thoughtful."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have much interest in such things, and was sitting across from him holding a small object to play with. Fang Xing glanced at it and snatched it.

"Is this... corn?"

Fang Xing looked at the thin and thin thing, and then carefully looked at the corn kernels, and said happily: "Good thing! Your Highness, with this Highness, plus potatoes, Daming won't have to worry about starving to death in the future Already!"

"God bless Daming!"

Fang Xing clasped his hands devoutly. He was really thanking God for sending this species of corn over here.

With corn, Fang Xing believes that Ming Dynasty will not need to worry about the lack of food in the country for at least three hundred years, and there will be no great famine caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the thin corn cob, frowned and said, "Is this stuff enough to eat?"

"Yes, although it is small now, we can cultivate it slowly. I will ask His Majesty for instructions when I get back. I will let the people from the Food and Vegetable Department cultivate fine seeds in the future."

Fang Xing carefully handed the corn cobs to Lin Zheng, and said, "You guys have experience, so take good care of them all, and it will be a great achievement if you turn around."

Lin Zheng didn't know that this thing was so important, he said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, Uncle, this time I brought back a lot of gold and silver."

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, but rubber is much more useful. As for corn, after cultivating better seeds, it can be compared with potatoes in the future. "

Zhu Gaoxu said gloomyly: "Then hurry back."

He was impatient to go back,

It is for the sake of changing his own fiefdom.

"No hurry, some things have to be arranged in advance, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy."

Zhu Gaoxu said impatiently: "Then arrange it quickly."

Fang Xing got up and got out of the cabin, found Fu Xian and said, "Send your most trusted person and the strongest ship immediately, send these rubber seeds and those people to Sumatra, and tell Shi Jinqing that these seeds are more precious than gold, Make him keep an eye on it."

Fu Xian complied solemnly, while Fang Xing paced the deck with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

"Also, tell him that those natives need to be taken care of more, not to be discriminated against or belittled, and to teach them the Ming language and writing."

Fu Xian didn't know why, so he went to arrange the ships and crews himself.

Fang Xing asked someone to get food again, and told him to bring out the best food and craftsmanship.

More than a dozen natives were brought to Fang Xing in fear.

There was a wind on the deck, and it was cool.

Fang Xing took the lead in sitting on the deck, and then pressed his hand.

Chen Mo winked at the side and said: "Sit down, my uncle asked you to sit down, it's very respectable."

The natives communicated a lot with the Ming people along the way. They made gestures and said some simple words, such as 'eat and sleep', which they could understand.

After the natives sat down one by one, Fang Xing said slowly: "When you arrive here, you will treat it as your home. If you have any thoughts, just say it directly. Don't be polite."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Mo.

I am not a translator!

With a bitter face, Chen Mo even gestured and said, finally roughly expressing his goodwill.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Look at our skin color."

He pointed to his own face, but he didn't know that it was already tanned, and said, "We all have the same skin color and similar looks. We were one family five hundred years ago!"

Huang Jinlu and the others immediately looked at Chen Mo suspiciously: When this guy was dealing with the natives, he always liked to use similar skin color and appearance to make friends. Now it seems that he may be stealing.

Chen Mo felt wronged, but he didn't dare to complain, the facial features on his face were almost squeezed together.

"Your contribution is not small, and your contribution is not small. When I go back, I will report to His Majesty and reward each one."

Fang Xing made a promise, and the three of Chen Mo immediately stood up to express their thanks.

After appeasing them, it was time to reward them.

The fleet has just been filled with supplies in Sumatra, so the cook is also generous, and all kinds of meat and vegetables are served together.

Altars of wine were brought and poured into bowls.

Fang Xing raised the bowl and said, "You were sent away by Uncle Ben himself. Now that you have returned safely, it is worthy of congratulations. This bowl of wine is toast to you."

After gulping it down, Fang Xing saw that the natives were licking their lips, obviously satisfied with Daming's wine, so he said, "Come and try Daming's food."

Then there was a story about the delicious food that conquered people's hearts. After tasting the delicious food of Ming Dynasty, those natives almost swallowed their tongues.

 …

The fleet was divided into two again, one went to Sumatra, and the other led by Zhu Gaoxu and Fang Xing, went straight to Java.

Java is now a chaotic place. Since Fang Xing killed Ma Shanyin, it has become a place where demons dance wildly.

The original nobles were defeated one after another, and the new nobles raised their banners to recruit soldiers everywhere, and then began to fight the surrounding forces.

According to Shi Jinqing: Java is now a vortex, which sucks in life and only bones come out.

...

On a plain, there are three to five thousand people on each side. They hold the most primitive weapons in their hands. Anyone who can have an iron knife can become a warrior.

The two sides were confronting each other, their dark faces were full of numbness and ferocity.

This place has become a place of killing. If others don't die, you will die.

Originally, Fang Xing armed Ma Shan's subordinates and acted as an arbiter, but after a big victory, those people got drunk and were raided and wiped out.

Since then, there has been no peace in Java, and killing has become the theme.

Losing control, those natives could not help but follow those ambitious guys and started a campaign. They hoped to grab the spoils, even a piece of clothing.

The leaders on both sides looked at each other coldly, they didn't understand what was going on, and they were just waiting for the opportunity based on their feelings.

The people on both sides gradually became a little restless, and the two leaders became nervous. They stared at each other, sneered, and began to provoke with the long knives in their hands.

The emotions on both sides gradually began to rise, and the leader on the right suddenly raised his knife and shouted, as sharp as killing a chicken.

Then his men burst into a whoop and began to charge.

"Kill them all!"

The people on both sides shouted that they were really going to kill their opponents, and then hung their heads on their waists to show off their bravery.

The two gangs slammed into each other, and screams and shouts filled the plain.

The wooden spear pierced into the opponent's chest, and before he could pull it out, an iron knife beside him pierced into his own neck.

While the blood was splattering, the native who was hit screamed, rushed over and hugged his opponent, opened his yellow and black teeth, and bit the opponent's neck with one bite.

The two fell heavily to the ground, biting each other vigorously, like two wild beasts.

Fighting is everywhere, and beastly roars dominate this land.

"What are they fighting about?"

In the woods on the side, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: "Just these people, this king can defeat them with a hundred households. Fang Xing, this is what you said to be cautious? Where is your courage?"

Wearing plate armor, Fang Xing felt a little suffocated, and said casually, "The people here are crazy, we can't underestimate the enemy, defeat them, and then go to the top three forces, defeat them one by one, and then we will return home."

Zhu Gaoxu said displeasedly: "Don't you want to completely conquer them? This king only needs a thousand households to sweep this big island."

Fang Xing said with black lines all over his face: "Your Highness, we must first ensure the safety of Shi Jinqing's side, and let them make trouble here. After the rubber trees are successfully planted, we will clean them up one by one at that time."
