I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Linlang Pavilion was originally a gift from the eldest grandson Wuji to his two nieces.

The eldest grandson's family can also share some blessings. After all, Linlang Pavilion is still the property of the eldest grandson's family in name.

But now Li Shu is not happy.

Li Lizhi also became unhappy.

Wu Jue was worrying about a shop like Linlang Pavilion, although the money was in his own pocket, but its surname was "Eldest Grandson", and he was thinking about how to change it to "Yin's surname".

It's just because of Li Lizhi and Li Shu, Wu Jue has always been difficult to start.

Now it's finally time for her to wait for this opportunity.

After the wedding, Wu Jue didn't act rashly, and he couldn't make things difficult for his family during this happy day.

A few days after the wedding, Wu Jue finally started to do it.

The first thing to bear the brunt was to sell out of Linlang Pavilion.

Secondly, a new store was opened next to Linlang Pavilion. What kind of business Linlang Pavilion operated before, now this new store operates whatever business.

Especially for businesses like collecting minerals, Wu Jue directly sent a few rangers to block the entrance of Linlang Pavilion to stop those foreign merchants, free trade.

The people in Linlang Pavilion were a little unconvinced, but after being persuaded by You Xia, they all hid in their own shops obediently, and even...sometimes when You Xia was negligent and missed a few people to come in, they would open their mouths and persuade them People, don't be in your own shop, next door, go to the next door.

Good stuff next door.

Of course... the impact is not limited to this aspect.

The Guanlong nobles are more peaceful. They can see that whether it is Zhengyang Gong or His Majesty, although there is a close relationship, if they really want to do it, they will not be sympathetic at all. Keep.

Changsun Wuji was so deflated that he went up and down without any movement.

The imperial court let the Zhao Guogong, who was so powerful in the government and the public, be deflated.

A fact that has long been a certainty, now they see it again with incomparable clarity.

Datang...now there is no need for an aristocratic family, at least not for the old aristocratic family.

Chang'an City is bustling and bustling, and the situation is turbulent.

Cantonese.

Xue Rengui rubbed his hands, the temperature here is not as cold as in Chang'an, only a slight cold sea breeze.

During this time, the ship has also been adjusting.

In winter, Fengchao will test whether the ship can sail in this cold weather. After running a few laps in the sea area near Guangfu, there were no major problems.

What is needed next is some more special and more extreme data.

For example... in sea areas with a lot of ice floes.

This is not a condition that Guangfu can meet, so after Fengchao asked Yin Xuan for instructions, a new simple dock was built on the original Baekje seaside, which is now a county in Juzhou.

Taking advantage of the winter, I tried several times here.

The result was disastrous.

Today's ships have almost no resistance when facing ice floes, and breaking the ice forcibly will bring huge and irreversible damage to the ships.

Even if you are sailing cautiously, you can't go head-to-head with the ice floes.

Some ice floes that are visible to the naked eye may be avoided, but it is difficult to avoid the fine pieces of ice that are hidden under the sea surface.

The propeller, a delicate component, cannot withstand the impact of ice floes.

In one month of experimentation, three ships were damaged.

The bills sent from Juzhou to Chang'an can always make Wu Sui so angry that the three corpses go crazy. They really don't treat money as money, how can they spend money like this!
The researchers on Fengchao's side didn't dare to be too extravagant. They tried several methods to resist ice floes, and they were full of confidence every time, but the final result was that the ship was destroyed.

No matter how rich you are, you are not such a prodigal.

Yin Xuan doesn't take it seriously, the progress of science and technology is made by spending money, so how much money is spent, it is not enough, far from enough.

It's okay to spend money faster than you can make money yourself?

But Wu Jue cared a lot.

In order to prevent Mrs. Wu from coming over from Chang'an and tearing them apart, the researchers of Fengchao decided to spend a period of time and calculate the data model first.

You know... Juzhou and Chang'an are connected by train, and it is very easy for Mrs. Wu to come here.

There is no need to cooperate with Fengchao's experiment.

Although it was winter and the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xue Rengui still had the idea of ​​going to sea.

He has the closest connection with Tianzhu.

Xue Rengui also asked Tianzhu to take care of some things that his own boss wanted - he didn't have much expectations at first.

But I really asked Tianzhu to report some results.

rubber.

The thing that Dalang is most concerned about is... something that is only found on another continent at the other end of the sea. Tianzhu said that they found similar trees.

Of course, this kind of tree is not in the territory of Tianzhu, but in a country called "Kamarubo" that borders Tianzhu.

There is a very special kind of banyan tree growing there. The branches and leaves are not luxuriant, but the leaves are broad and dark green. After cutting its bark, it will flow out a milky white sticky sap.

Xue Rengui still has some impressions of the country of Kamaluva.

The master Xuanzang who was fooled by his own master, oh, no, he was persuaded, had been to this country as an envoy, and this country was also described in his book Da Tang Western Regions.

A small country actually grows the tree species that his own boss is looking forward to?
If it weren't for the procrastination of Fengchao's test ship, Xue Rengui would have gone to find out a long time ago.

Sail, go to sea.

Xue Rengui ran to Tianzhu again. With the experience of last time, he was more familiar with the road this time. It took about a month to reach Tianzhu.

King Jie Ri transplanted this special banyan tree into his garden long ago, waiting for Xue Rengui to come over.

to be frank.

This special tree is not as big as Xue Rengui imagined, only a short tree will be as tall as a person.

"It's this kind of tree?" Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows.

King Jieri nodded: "After the envoy gave the order, we searched around for information, and later learned about the existence of this tree from a hunter who immigrated from Kamalubo in the city."

"I don't know if this is the rubber tree that the envoy wants."

Xue Rengui didn't speak, just pulled out his dagger, scratched on the bark, a shallow wound, and then a small white juice gushed out.

He wiped it again with the dagger, put it in front of himself, stretched out his hand and fanned the air on the dagger to his side, and sniffed the breath—this is the method Yin Xuan taught him, and he is also a scholar at Fengchao, which must be cultivated. become a habit.

Slightly pungent smell.

The smell is similar to the rubber extracted from rubber grass.

Xue Rengui was a little uncertain, he hesitated and said, "It seems to be similar, but I'm not sure, how many trees like this are there?"
