By doing this, Deng Zhi not only raised his reputation among the Han people to a higher level, but it even spread to Soochow.
It really surprised Feng Yongda that he was so enthusiastic about his junior, whom he had never met before.
So now that I see his son, I naturally have to have a good deal with him.
"Liang must bring Feng Langjun's greetings." When Deng Liang heard the other party mentioning his lord, he quickly raised his hands and listened carefully, "In the past few days, my lord was always busy with official duties and was often away from the house. Even if Feng Langjun came to visit,
, I’m afraid it’s hard to see.”
"Your Excellency has said that Feng Langjun is a rare young hero among the Han Dynasty. Not to mention other things, these two articles alone brought a lot of glory to his face when he went to Soochow as an envoy, and also made Liang want to get closer to Feng Langjun.
Some."
Two peerless articles, one about the majesty of Shu and the other about the long-term love of the children of Wu, were mentioned during the mission, which can further increase the intimacy between Han and Wu.
Deng Liang had a straightforward personality and said this directly, which made Feng Yong feel even more fond of Deng Zhi, who was famous but never met.
"It's easy to talk about. That's what I mean. It seems that we will have more contacts in the future."
Feng Yong laughed.
When Feng Yong walked to the main seat, Deng Liang looked at Mi Zhao with a smile in his eyes.
Mi Zhao secretly cupped her hands in front of Deng Liang, with a wry smile on her face, and admitted defeat.
His visit this time was actually under the orders of his master.
Your Excellency is now the Huben Zhonglang General, commanding the Huben Imperial Guards and responsible for the central guard. He can be regarded as a confidant of His Majesty.
Although he didn’t know what Feng Langjun wanted to do by bringing so many people together this time, he still knew from the adults’ mouth that Feng Langjun had secretly met with Your Majesty a few days ago, and that this gathering was related to
It has something to do with the secret pairing.
But this matter cannot be said openly, so although Feng Langjun greeted him first, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he and Deng Langjun appear to be closer.
"Everyone, I have returned to Jincheng from Hanzhong. Thanks to all of you for your love, I have received a lot of invitations. Unfortunately, I have been busy with secular affairs these days and I have not been able to pay my respects to them all. Please forgive me."
Feng Yong, who took the main seat, looked at everyone and spoke first.
Someone from below answered, "Feng Langjun, this secular job is what we all want in our dreams!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Feng Yong also laughed, "I am just a layman, and I don't go around in circles with everyone. I just go to the window and speak openly. Everyone sent the name card to my house, and I can roughly guess some of the reasons."
Having said this, Feng Yong paused for a moment to see everyone's reaction.
As soon as these words came out, except for Deng Liang whose expression remained unchanged, even Mi Zhao looked a little embarrassed, let alone others.
It is true that the money is attractive to people, but here are all young men under twenty, so they are still a bit thin-skinned after all.
"The year before last, I took several of my brothers to Hanzhong, where we lived in thatched huts, herded cattle and sheep, and went into the mountains and forests for exploration. Sometimes I couldn't eat a mouthful of hot food for several days, and I even had several of my brothers go to fight with Hu with knives.
People worked hard to gain such a small fortune."
Li Yi's face twitched when he saw his brother say these words without changing his expression.
On the contrary, everyone below looked at him with fiery eyes.
The year before last, my family had tried their best to find a way to buy an eight-oxen plow, and later they were frantically looking for labor to reclaim the wasteland in Hanzhong.
In the past, the wasteland developed in the past two years could be regarded as a family fortune.
But people are afraid of comparison.
Look at Feng Langjun, along with several other men from the Zhao family, they have built a huge foundation.
Can't compare!
Moreover, many people here did not even do anything to help with the land opened by their families, but just ate in Jincheng and waited to die.
Which of our fathers has not experienced the battlefield of life and death?
As a son-in-law, the blood in his body has not yet cooled down. As long as he has the opportunity to win such a fortune, why should he be afraid of so little hardship?
Didn't you just want to find the slightest opportunity when you sent the famous post to Feng's house?
I just don’t know if Feng Langjun is willing to give it?
"I'm not going to hide it from everyone. It doesn't matter whether it's this ranch or this workshop. Because the relationship is so important, it's impossible to change this quota for the time being."
Although most people didn't have much hope, when these words came out, they couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.
Think about it, now that the ranch and workshop are considered to have a productive foundation, how can they still let others get their hands on it?
"So what I'm telling you today is not a ranch or a workshop. I'm just talking about one thing, and that is the Southern Expedition."
Feng Yong glanced at everyone and said confidently, "This time the Prime Minister is marching south, how can those rebels in South China dare to resist the great Han Tianwei? So it will be a matter of time to pacify them."
But the people below were a little confused, and they were all thinking, what can be said about pacifying Nanzhong?
Even those who have a militia group at home are still muttering that if Nanzhong is pacified, won’t the south have no source of labor?
"But what to do after the peace is settled is something that needs to be carefully considered."
Having said this, Feng Yong smiled and pointed at himself, "At least I, the captain of Diannong School in Yizhou, have the responsibility to consider this."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Feng Langjun, is it possible that you have the intention to go to Nanzhong to colonize?"
Someone laughed loudly and asked.
This was just a joke, but Feng Yong nodded seriously, "That's right. After the Prime Minister pacified Nanzhong, I decided to go to Nanzhong to plant something."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Feng Yong in surprise and uncertainty.
Feng Yong has a way to make money, no one will doubt this.
But what can he do in this barren land?
They came here just in case, hoping to see if Feng Langjun, a famous man, could show off with them and fly them to Nanzhong... Wouldn't this lead them into a garbage dump?
Finally, Mi Zhao spoke up and asked, "Feng Langjun, what kind of things are you going to plant in Nanzhong? Is there any way to grow something like this?"
"That's right," Feng Yong smiled slightly, "the thing I want to plant is called sugar cane, and it is native to Jiaozhou."
"Sugar cane? Isn't it the native product presented to Soochow the year before last?"
someone asked hesitantly.
"That's right, that's it. Baimozhi wine is brewed, and Taizun uses Zhejiang pulp to analyze Chaobao. This sentence is recorded in the "Book of Han". Zhejiang refers to the juice squeezed from sugar cane.
"
Feng Yong nodded and explained, "The juice squeezed from sugar cane can be used to make malt sugar. And Nanzhong is just a suitable place for growing sugar cane. What I mean is that after the prime minister finished Nanzhong, I will open some in Nanzhong."
For the manor, we hire some barbarians from Nanzhong to help with the farming."
"The flat land in Nanzhong is used to grow food. Those places that are not easy to grow food can be used to grow sugar cane."
There is little flat land in Nanzhong, so the eight-ox plow may not be used, but the curved-column plow is just the place to be used.
The use of curved shaft plows can also increase grain production. Coupled with the improvement of farming technology, the flat land in Nanzhong may not be able to supply the consumption of sugar cane manor.
Even if it's a little worse, there is food in Sichuan, and you can transport some of it - compared with the huge profits from brown sugar, what is the loss of food?
Besides, it's not like spreading out the business all at once. As long as we advance slowly from north to south, as long as we can one day firmly control Nanzhong, it's not a problem to wait ten or eight years.
Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou are simply treasures, and Feng Yong did not lie to Adou about this.
