Hu Shang's words shocked the whole world!
The grain is as big as a fist, with vermilion skin, crisp and juicy heart, and can be eaten raw or cooked. The yield is extremely high, and it is produced in exotic continents overseas...
This is clearly that kind of thing!
Like a thunder in a silent place, it exploded in Li Hongbi's ears, making the usually steady man almost scream out in surprise!
Therefore, he completely gave up the idea of going to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, and immediately ordered people to take Hu Shang into the room and even closed the door.
Seeing this situation, Hu Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Prince Hongbi was a wise man, so his life was saved.
If he was really twisted and sent to the Yingtian Mansion Yamen, even if he didn't die, he would be reduced to hard labor, but he would just die later.
The Ming Dynasty was known as a state of etiquette, but it was quite harsh in its treatment of foreign barbarians, especially those who had committed crimes. They would not be lenient at all!
Li Hongbi took the long knife from the guard and placed it directly on Hu Shang's neck.
"Now, let me ask you an answer. If I notice anything wrong, the knife in my hand will not recognize anyone!"
Hu Shang was so frightened that his calves almost went weak. He wanted to beg for mercy, but when he looked up and saw Li Hongbi's eyes, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
The look in this noble man's eyes was too scary now.
His eyes were bloodshot and full of madness, and he had a crazy posture ready to draw a knife and kill someone at any time!
What a lunatic!
"First, what is your name? Where are you from in the Western Region?"
"The younger name Osman Ikun Ibrahim...comes from Khorezm, which is also the Khorezm and Huo Xun Kingdom in Ming Dynasty records."
Khwarezm?
Li Hongbi smiled.
It is the area that later became the territory of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
This country was originally a big country in Central Asia. It has long controlled the trade between China and the West. For a long time in the Song Dynasty, it pocketed the profits from the Asia-Europe Silk Road trade. Therefore, most of the people in Khwarezm were merchants. I also like to do cross-border business.
Later, the Great Mongol Empire rose and swept across the Eurasian continent, and Khwarazm was subjugated as a result. After the Great Mongol Empire fell apart, Khwarazm recovered a little bit of its vitality, but then another conqueror Timur appeared in Central Asia, and again Beat him until his country is destroyed.
Today, the people of Khorezm should still be under the rule of the Timur Empire.
"That Osman...what the hell is his name? Forget it, I'll call you Yikun from now on!"
Hu Shang's expression suddenly became strange when he heard this.
How could you change someone's name so casually?
How rude!
"Second question, where did the treasure you mentioned come from?"
Hu Shang Yikun hurriedly explained: "Xiao Xiao was originally a businessman. He accumulated a lot of wealth through trade, but because of this he was targeted by powerful people, and all the family property was occupied by them. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to escape. After entering the Timur Kingdom, he fled all the way south to the Tughluq Dynasty, which is Tianzhu recorded in the Ming Dynasty..."
Tianzhu, Shendu, these are the collective names of ancient Chinese dynasties and other East Asian countries to today's India and other Indian subcontinent countries. Anyway, it is that part of India.
The Tughluq dynasty is the third dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in mainland India and is of Turkic descent.
"After I arrived in Tianzhu, I discovered that Tianzhu was also dominated by powerful people who were constantly fighting. It was exactly the same as Timur's country. There was no place for merchants at all, so I could only continue to go to sea and prepare to come to the Ming Dynasty. During this period, I accidentally rescued A merchant from Tianzhu gave this grain to me in return for saving my life..."
After lingering for a long time, I finally got down to business.
"Then what?"
"Did the merchant tell me where he got this treasure?"
Li Hongbi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently.
"According to the businessman, he realized that the profits of ocean trade were terrifying, so he has been secretly doing ocean trade. He even formed a fleet of his own and became the number one figure in all directions..."
"Yikun, if you keep talking nonsense like this, my prince may not be able to hold the knife in his hand!"
Li Hongbi threatened murderously.
Yi Kun swallowed in fear and hurriedly told the truth.
"Once, this Hu merchant led his fleet all the way west, trying to open up a new route, a new route that belonged to him alone. He went through many hardships and obstacles along the way, which was a narrow escape. It took more than half a year, and finally he finally succeeded. Let him discover a magical country."
"It was a brand new continent. There were only some Kunlun black slaves who drank hair and drank blood. Even the most basic cultural characters were not born. When I thought that the Kunlun black slaves could be sold for a lot of money, my businessman brother took the fleet with him. Ashore to prepare to capture black slaves.”
"As a result, they never expected that there were so many Kunlun black slaves on this continent, and all of them were brave and good at fighting. Although the spears, bows and arrows were simple, they were always accurate, so that they were killed and lost their armor. They were even killed. Hunted and hunted, hiding everywhere.”
"It was also during this period that they were so hungry that they had no choice but to find food in every possible way. They accidentally discovered this new type of grain. It can be eaten not only raw but also cooked. It tastes extremely delicious. It is indeed a precious new grain. seeds, so my brother kept an eye out and stole a lot of these grain seeds, and then when the Kunlun black slaves relaxed their vigilance, he managed to escape back to the fleet and immediately set sail and fled in a hurry..."
After hearing this, Li Hongbi finally understood, and his expression became serious.
The co-author really underestimates the heroes of the world!
That thing is indeed a new grain!
And that continent is also a brand new continent!
But the problem is that they were discovered by a Tianzhu businessman, and he discovered them so many years in advance!
This is really...incredible!
That thing is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato, and also called sweet potato.
That continent full of Kunlun black slaves is called South America.
And why don't they call them "Kunlun black slaves"? They call them Indians!
“Sweet potato, South America!”
"Akun, Akun, you really brought a surprise to me!"
Li Hongbi smiled bitterly and shook his head, making Yi Kun look confused.
"Sweet potato? Is this new grain called sweet potato?"
Hu Shang Yikun was shocked and lost his voice in disbelief: "Your Majesty has never seen this new grain, how do you know it is called sweet potato?"
"South America? Is that new continent called South America? How do you know that, Prince?"
Hu Shang had forgotten his current situation. He was so shocked that he couldn't help asking a series of questions.
However, Li Hongbi was no longer in the mood to answer him, and he didn't know how to answer.
This is all common sense for future generations, and there is indeed no reasonable excuse.
But this is not the key. The key is that sweet potatoes can produce more than 5,000 kilograms per mu, and in southern fields with a suitable climate, they can be harvested twice a year!
To the Ming Dynasty, this was simply an artifact of the country!
Li Hongbi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He looked at Hu Shang Yikun and slowly took back the knife in his hand.
"I can give you two choices. Think about it carefully."
"First, by becoming mine, I can guarantee that you will be prosperous and wealthy for generations to come, and that you will have no worries about food and drink!"
"But correspondingly, you not only have to hand over this treasure, but you also have to do things for me."
"two is……"
"Choose a small one!"
Before Li Hongbi could finish his words, Hu Shang Yikun bowed his head.
"Little Yikun, I have met my master!"
Li Hongbi: "???"
Damn it?
Are you so decisive?
It’s me, Li Hongbi, who is blind!
