Not to mention Li Ke, even Feng Ang next to him knew how expensive this thing was, and now he looked up and saw it all over the mountains and plains.
Sun Simiao raised his legs and walked to the place closest to him. After picking a plant, Sun Simiao broke off a small piece, chewed it in his mouth, and tasted it. Then Sun Simiao spit it out and said with emotion: "What a waste of natural resources. They are all top-quality Dendrobium officinale. They have been living like this for who knows how many years."
Standing next to Sun Simiao, Li Ke looked up. At least within his sight, almost most of them were dendrobium officinale.
"This has been the territory of China since ancient times. We, the Tang Dynasty, have inherited the orthodoxy of China. This is naturally the territory of our Datang Dynasty. From today on, this place will be temporarily named Luzon Mansion, and Feng Ang will serve concurrently." Li Ke stood here. He spoke.
"What His Highness said is true." Feng An immediately straightened his face and bent down to salute.
Sun Simiao next to him looked at the two shameless people speechlessly, but of course he didn't say anything. He just looked at this place and then said: "We can also build a medicinal materials processing plant here. Just these Dendrobium candidum." Maple Dou is enough to feed a small city."
"In addition, since so many dendrobiums can grow naturally here, it proves that this place is very suitable for their growth and is a natural medicinal material planting base. Encircle a large area nearby, and then hire people to pull out the weeds and carry out Take care of it, don't cut it off like it's mining, this will be one of the most important medicinal material bases in the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"No problem, write it down." Li Ke waved his hand, and the two secretaries following Li Ke immediately recorded everything here. These two people were sent by Yuelai Trading Company, mainly because there were some things that others wanted to record but did not understand. Only they knew some of the knowledge that Li Ke had taught.
"Follow our established route to explore the surrounding environment." Li Ke waved his hand.
"Yes!" Huo Gang immediately made arrangements.
Li Ke and Sun Simiao were here to explore the growth of these dendrobiums and take a look at the surrounding environment. Not far from them, soldiers had already begun to explore in the distance in a circle.
The weather in Luzon Island is very hot. It is estimated that the temperature where Li Ke and the others are currently is more than 30 degrees. Therefore, Li Ke and Sun Simiao wore very thin clothes and naturally did not go deep into the island.
The environment here is still primitive, and no one knows how many poisonous insects, snakes and the like there are.
Li Ke all wore cowhide armor on the legs of the soldiers who were investigating, and iron armor on their upper bodies for protection.
No one knows if there will be people from primitive tribes in the jungle. If these people come up, give them an arrow. People from primitive tribes are accustomed to applying some poison on the arrows.
Many of these soldiers are from mountain people, and there is no conflict between mountain people and fishermen, so many of them are familiar with these tropical mountain forest environments, and they will lead the way to explore the surroundings.
After walking around the island, Li Ke and Sun Simiao returned to the ship. The King of Qin was somewhat cooler on the sea, and there was nothing on the land. It was indeed not safe. Li Ke did not want to suffer.
Feng An and Huo Gang stayed in place and began to explore the surrounding environment.
"There are a lot of medicinal materials here. If you want to find out these medicinal materials accurately, I have to stay." Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke and said.
"No, the weather is too hot. It would be bad if you suffer from heatstroke or something like that. I can't let you stay." Li Ke shook his head quickly.
"My body is much healthier than yours." Sun Simiao was a little helpless, "I just discovered at least three kinds of Chinese medicinal materials. Without me, you might have wasted a lot of things. Although there are a lot of Dendrobium officinale here, since If you want to build a medicinal material factory, then other medicinal materials must be disposed of by the way. Didn't you say that these are strategic reserves?"
"Wherever you are needed, your apprentice will do the job." Li Ke said quickly.
"Aren't you afraid that they will make mistakes?" Sun Simiao glanced at Li Ke.
"I prepared a book for them, which contains pictures of the appearance of various medicinal materials and their medicinal effects, etc. Then let them prepare accordingly. If they are really not sure, just don't move first, but Select important medicinal materials to cultivate. Anyway, there are many medicinal materials in our Datang territory." Li Ke said.
"Okay." Sun Simiao thought for a while and could only agree. He could see that Li Ke would definitely not let him stay here by himself.
"To be honest, although there are indeed many Dendrobium officinale and they are very valuable, you are not here just for this, right?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke and said.
"Of course, there are gold mines here." Li Ke answered simply. There is nothing to hide these things. If you throw a gold mountain in front of Lao Sun, others may not be tempted.
"Oh, no wonder." Sun Simiao suddenly realized, "But gold is not the main reason why you came here, right?"
"Compared to Jinshan, there are actually many valuable things here, such as precious mahogany, red sandalwood, etc., and it is also good at growing rice. The most important thing is that with the development of maritime trade, this place may become an important place in the future. One of the ports. What I want is not the present, but the future, which is not that important to us now." Li Ke said with a smile.
"To put it bluntly, even if we don't need this island, Datang is still the most powerful country in the world, bar none. But what I want to consider is that with the development of science and technology, hundreds or thousands of years later, What can we leave to future generations? If I only think about myself in the past hundred years, I will live a more comfortable life than anyone else in the world."
Sun Simiao nodded thoughtfully, and then praised: "If nothing else, I admire your foresight, Your Highness."
"It's impossible not to be far-sighted. Who knows whether the things we throw away will be regarded as treasures by future generations when the times develop. So even if this is a desert, maybe there is something extremely precious hidden underneath. Wealth! And as you have seen, old man, the ocean has a vast area in this world, which means that the amount of land is constant."
"As our population increases, the land area we occupy will naturally increase! Therefore, for the future national policy of the Tang Dynasty, it is the basic national policy to not give up an inch of land." Li Ke said with a smile, "So, we can't do it because we think Somewhere, something is of no use to us, so we just throw it away.”
Don’t look at it, let’s just talk about you, Daqing!
