Dai Ting asked people to shrink back to Champo's arrangement, and planned to return to the voyage after all the rice seeds were put into the warehouse, leaving only a few people here as nails.
This time Dai Ting didn't look for trouble, but something still came to him.
Recently, Champa is not stable. The king of Champa was killed the year before last, and the people of the country supported the king's son to succeed him, but they had conflicts with the ministers who controlled the power. The minister did not hesitate to abolish the king's son and support the king's daughter as the king.
The queen did not calm down the situation, and since the death of King Tou Le, Champa has been in chaos. Due to the chaos everywhere, Dai Ting, an outsider, has enclosed a piece of land and farmed with peace of mind. It is hard not to be noticed.
No one else has a peaceful life, why should you eat and drink, and sleep soundly at night? For nearly a year, there were quite a few people who came over to make trouble, but Dai Ting easily blocked them all. It didn't affect him to carefully record the growth cycle, variety characteristics, and expected yield of Champa rice seeds.
While Dai Ting was preparing to evacuate, a group of special visitors arrived quietly under the cover of night. These visitors are all women, and they don't look threatening at all. In fact, most of them are well-trained female guards, and their skills are not bad.
Dai Ting originally didn't want to cause extra problems, but the leader sent someone a seal to express his sincerity.
It is the seal of King Champa.
Dai Ting thought that most of the rice seeds had already entered the warehouse, and if anything happened, it would not have too much impact on the purpose of their trip, so he welcomed these guests inside. The leading woman was wearing a black curtain, and even her body was covered under the curtain. Dai Ting was not curious about their appearance, so he invited them to sit facing each other and calmly asked them why they came.
Dai Ting didn't wear a mask for Champo this time. On the one hand, his face was flawless and beautiful, but on the other hand, there was a bright red birthmark on his face, but this birthmark didn't affect his beauty, on the contrary, he looked like God She loved him so much, and added a gorgeous flower to his white jade-like face.
The visitor did not expect that such a person could be the master among this group of people. He is too young, and looks... too beautiful, not as beautiful as what should be in the world. Maybe a Buddha has such a face when he came to the world and turned into a human? After a brief absence, the leading woman took down the curtain and sincerely bowed to Dai Ting: "Please help me."
Dai Ting looked at the woman who was lying on the ground.
Without asking too much, he also guessed the woman's identity. The ships they came this time were not too few for the caravan, and the people they brought were also a group of elites, so they were able to circle a safe place. In today's turbulent Champa, they are indeed too conspicuous, so after groups of people failed to attack them, groups of homeless and unthinkable people also approached them, begging for their help. shelter.
These things are not unusual, and Dai Ting is very familiar with them. He has seen them in Gaochang, Tubo, Koryo, and Wa.
As long as there is war, as long as there is struggle, the people will always suffer first, and they will help if they can help without affecting the things to be done. After all, there is no harm in gathering some people together, and it will discourage those who want to trouble them.
Unexpectedly, Queen Champa would come to find her in person.
It seems that the ministers of Champa have found a more suitable puppet and a new king who can stabilize the hearts of the people. This queen is about to lose its use value.
The relationship between the ruler and his ministers, and between the ruler and the people seems to be strong, but in fact, in the long history, the throne is always changing and the royal power is always changing. Yesterday the world may be named Yang, but today the world may be named Li. In the face of life and death, dignity doesn't seem to be that important. It's not a big deal to ask for help from an outsider. After all, this is a visitor from the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dai Ting's face was calm, without any emotion.
Whether people in this world are beautiful or ugly, noble or humble, has nothing to do with him. He has no extra sympathy and compassion for strangers. He might be willing to hear what kind of help they needed, if they offered enough interest.
After a brief conversation, Queen Cham also understood this. This person in front of me is not short of money, and he doesn't want to be a marquis in Champa. He really came here to enclose a plot of land and plant it for a year before leaving. Those people insisted on asking them to trouble them before they fought back.
As for beauty, it wasn't that Queen Cham was not confident enough, but that Dai Ting sat there, and everyone present felt ashamed. Would such a person be tempted by beauty? Thinking about it, I think it's impossible. If I really want to send him a beauty, I'm afraid I might be suspected of taking advantage of him!
According to Dai Ting's needs, Queen Cham proposed her own repayment direction: If they can help her secure the throne, she will mobilize all the people who can mobilize to cultivate well, help Datang to select and breed, and donate good rice seeds as soon as possible. To Datang. They have a good climate and abundant products, and they can even crop rice three times a year! They can not only offer Champa's crop varieties, but also help Datang try to plant varieties from surrounding countries.
After hearing this, Dai Ting was finally moved.
He paused, and corrected Queen Champa's object of repayment: "To His Royal Highness King Teng."
Giving to Li Yuanying is different from giving to Datang.
All of this must be dedicated to Li Yuanying first. Regardless of whether Li Yuanying wanted it or not, they would fight for as much as possible for Li Yuanying, and he wanted to let the people all over the world know that it was Li Yuanying who found these rice seeds for them, and that it was Li Yuanying who was always thinking of them.
Li Yuanying only wanted to be a vassal king happily, and never thought of anything else, but he lived a chic and reckless life, and it was inevitable that some people would be jealous.
What Dai Ting wanted was to make Li Yuanying an existence that even the emperor dared not touch him easily.
Even if many things Li Yuanying would also dedicate them all to the imperial court, there is still a difference between Li Yuanying's hands and those without Li Yuanying's hands.
He is not loyal to the court, not to the emperor, he is only loyal to Li Yuanying.
For Queen Champa, there is not much difference between dedicating things to the Tang court and His Royal Highness King Teng of the Tang Dynasty, but she was secretly surprised by the ability of that King Teng. What kind of person can make an existence like Dai Ting be so loyal to him? With Dai Ting's ability, he can even lead people to directly occupy Champa and make the land king!
Champo was once the county seat of the Han Dynasty, and later the local people killed the county magistrate and made themselves king. Now that Champa is in chaos, if someone who can quell the turmoil comes out, it is not uncommon to be crowned as the new Champa King. But the man in front of him has no interest in this, and just wants to go back with the Champa rice as planned.
Curiosity is curiosity, Queen Champa didn't ask too much, for fear that if she asked too much, things would change.
After she made an agreement with Dai Ting, she left as silently as when she came.
Dai Ting didn't want to miss Li Yuanying's marriage, so he took a quick and ruthless way to cut through the mess, and he directly took over all the forces that were dissatisfied with Queen Champa.
It was only at this time that many people realized that what was entrenched here was not a gentle sheep that loves to eat grass, but a deadly poisonous snake! However, this poisonous snake is quite popular, and the group of refugees who farmed for him threw down their hoes one by one, picked up their knives and guns, and said they would take back their homes!
When did these lowly untouchables dare to resist? !
The dignitaries of Champa were all angry, and sent soldiers to kill these untouchables who dared to resist. The blood of their companions stained the eyes of the "untouchables". They farmed and lived in peace and contentment. Why should everything be taken away, why should their lives be taken away? Worse than pigs and dogs!
With the sudden bloody riots of the people, almost half of the nobles and officials were killed within a few days, and the originally magnificent mansion was stained red with blood overnight.
All the glory, wealth, power and interests are turned into a puff of smoke with death.
At this time, the Queen climbed onto the city tower in red, and issued an edict to the people that she would follow the example of the Tang Dynasty and implement the land equalization system, and distribute land to every common people, so that every common people can have land to cultivate and a home to recuperate.
The rest of the officials and nobles were all supporters of the queen. Seeing that those who had different intentions died unexpectedly, they couldn't help feeling a little more in awe of the queen. They all fully cooperated with the queen's arrangement and actively promoted the queen's benevolence.
As for the distribution of land, since so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries died, it would be fine to divide all their land, and there is no need to distribute it to them. There is no need to hesitate. The most important thing is to stabilize the situation right now!
Dai Ting didn't get involved in these matters any more, and only left some people on Champo's side to guard the manor, and he returned north with rice seeds.
When I first boarded the ship, the weather was still hot, but as we headed north, the weather at sea gradually became worse. After winter, there were occasional winds and snows that blocked the road, and a ship ran aground and was damaged on the road. Fortunately, they had a lot of ships, and rescued people and grain seeds to other ships in time, so it was barely safe.
After traveling along the vast sea for several months, stopping and stopping, the fleet that went to sea finally returned safely. There are boats coming and going at the port, and there are many people on the pier. I heard that after the return of the fleet from Prince Teng’s Mansion, everyone is looking forward to seeing if they are full of gold, silver and jewels this time.
To their disappointment, what was carried off the boat this time were ordinary sacks, which looked like they were usually used for food. Judging from the shape and weight, it seems that it is indeed food, not the rare treasure they imagined.
It wasn't until the last boat that I was able to get a glimpse of it. The first ones to get off were two colorful parrots. They looked exactly alike. As soon as they got off the boat, they opened their mouths and shouted: "Big!" "It's really big!" "It's so big! "The men who came to carry the goods were curious and proud. Of course, their harbor is big. I heard people say that the harbor in the south is not as grand as them!
Except for the pair of talking birds, the rest are treasures contained in sandalwood boxes. No one knows what they are, but just by looking at the boxes, you can tell that the things inside are of great value.
This time, Dai Ting didn't say the date of return, and Li Yuanying didn't come to the port to pick up people, so Dai Ting organized his own people to transport the things to Tengzhou. Along the way, the cartloads of grain they brought back attracted countless curious eyes: Tengzhou has started hoarding grain from the sea? Is the rice shipped by sea more delicious
Li Yuanying didn't know that the fleet had returned until Dai Ting was about to return to Tengzhou. It was not yet the first lunar month, and the weather was a bit cold. Coincidentally, there was no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings on this day, and Li Yuanying was nestling by the fire listening to people telling stories.
When the two sides meet, it is inevitable to warm up the wine and talk. Dai Ting told Li Yuanying about the changes in Champa. This time he was really keeping a low profile and didn't plan to make any big moves. However, since Queen Champa said she would be a breeding base for them, they seemed to have no reason not to agree.
Li Yuanying had never been to such a distant place, so he didn't know what the weather was like in Champa. Hearing that Dai Ting said that the rice in Champa can sometimes be harvested three times a year, and some rice varieties are very drought-tolerant and have very low requirements for water and soil. He thinks that Dai Ting is doing too well. Isn’t this an ideal breeding base?
Since the Cham Queen is willing to mobilize the people to help them with breeding work, and is willing to help them collect crop varieties from surrounding countries, it is worth the trouble!
Li Yuanying said: "The world is really big and full of surprises. Who can imagine that three rounds of rice can be planted in a year?" He now has some experience in planting, "It's just that the soil fertility may not be able to keep up, so we need to think about ways to fertilize the field."
Dai Ting nodded.
No matter what, finding good grain seeds is a good thing. Li Yuanying asked Huang Ying to go down and let everyone steam a bowl of this kind of rice brought back by Champo tonight. If they can eat it, they will try their best to try to grow these Champo rice this year. After talking about the business, Li Yuanying said enthusiastically: "It happens that my wedding dress is ready and I need to try it on. Later, you and Luo Binwang will help me see if it fits!"
The author has something to say:
Dai Ting: Although I kept a low profile this time, I still accidentally got involved in other countries' internal affairs. This has nothing to do with me. I don't want to do anything.
Countdown to the little prince's wedding!
