Great Tang Southern Emperor

As soon as Li Zhen left and the door of the palace was closed, Li Shimin came out from behind the curtain in a huff. When he saw the treasure in the box at first sight, Li Shimin's eyes turned red again: "Isn't this bastard too partial? Look at it." He gave you so many treasures as a mother, such a big pearl watermelon, such a red coral...everything is a national treasure...but there are only a few broken pearls left here? Don't you care about his few pearls? Isn't it too shabby?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. If you are angry, you will really follow Zhen'er's mind." Yan Fei smiled coquettishly. What does Li Zhen mean?

"Of course I know he is angry with me, but I just can't help being angry." Concubine Yan can see it, and Li Shimin is naturally not a problem, but if you can see it, you can see it, but when you think of the difference between yourself and Concubine Yan Li Shimin was still so angry about the treatment.

"Hehehe... Then what is your Majesty going to do?" Concubine Yan trembled with a smile: "I have already made an appointment with Zhen'er, as long as you can prove that he has made great achievements, then not only will you not be able to punish him, Your Majesty." He also needs a big reward—the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have testified."

"It's not because of you?" She glanced at Concubine Yan resentfully, if you hadn't been a hindrance, how could so many things have happened?

"However, even so, Zhen'er will never escape this beating, unless he wants his subordinates to be dissatisfied." Li Shimin has already decided that even if he uses some small means, he must beat Li Zhen. It's too irritating It is really hard to solve the hatred in my heart if I don't beat him up.

"Well, since His Majesty insists on this, then the concubine naturally has nothing to say, but I hope His Majesty will not beat you too hard." Concubine Yan also instantly understood Li Shimin's meaning, and sighed in her heart: Zhen'er, it's not the mother who is not the queen. I am willing to help you, but you have to suffer this beating, and you have to suffer it willingly.

"Don't worry about this. After all, he is our child and the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I just want to punish him, but I don't want to break him." Li Shimin also felt helpless. If someone else made a mistake, he Absolutely, they can't help but beat them all the time, even if they don't kill people, at least they will beat people with permanent disabilities.

It's a pity that this time he is facing Li Zhen, who is not only his most desired son, but also the future master of Tang Dynasty, who is not easy to punish because of emotion, reason and law.

It's just that Li Shimin brought all the civil and military officials to Yuezhou with great fanfare, worked hard, and traveled thousands of miles. If he didn't make a gesture, people would be dissatisfied, so no matter what, this beating was inevitable, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the world.

"The concubine will thank Your Majesty on Zhen'er's behalf." Concubine Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she just made a gesture, thinking that there shouldn't be any serious problems, Li Zhen will only lie on the bed for a month at most.

Who knew that Li Shimin's voice changed at this time, and he said viciously: "It's just that this kid is really abominable, he actually teases me like this, if I don't teach him a good lesson, I really can't be relieved."

"Ah?" Concubine Yan became anxious immediately: "But Zhen'er is young after all, and he is also a crown prince. If His Majesty breaks him, what shall we do?"

Li Shimin laughed and asked back: "Who told you that punishing people can only be punished?"

"That's right...thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." Concubine Yan immediately realized that it was because she cared too much that chaos would result. There are many ways to punish people. Hitting the board is just the most common type. Li Shimin wouldn't really think about it. To beat Li Zhen to death, at most, he would be beaten, and then locked up for a few days or other punishments.

"Forget it." Li Shimin waved his hand: "Let's go and see the ten-thousand-year red sandalwood brought back by this brat."

"Yes."

Li Zhen didn't know what happened in the Xiran Palace. He had already arrived at the square outside the Ersheng Palace. At this time, the Ersheng Palace, from the square to the gate to the road down the mountain, was densely packed. The carriage was blocked, which attracted the attention of many believers and priests.

And what was loaded on the carriage were all the treasures that Li Zhen had brought back from Nanyang.

Among the numerous carriages, more than half of them exude a variety of fragrances. These carriages are filled with spices from Southeast Asia, including the Spice Islands, Borneo, and the fleet along the way. From the most precious agarwood and sandalwood to the most popular pepper and cloves, as long as it is a spice produced in Southeast Asia, it can be said that there are all kinds of spices collected on the docked islands.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Zhen is willing to sell this batch of spices to the market, then the value of this batch of spices is enough to build two more Wuzhuang temples - including the ones of various restaurants under the mountain.

Except for the spices, the remaining [-]% are all kinds of exotic flowers, and they are all alive, and they are all treasures that have never been seen in the Central Plains.

Another [-]% is the precious mineral plant and animal specimen obtained by Li Zhen. Two of the three plants encountered on the island that was about to sink that time were there, but the last tree was too big and was divided into Timber area.

Of the remaining [-]%, [-]% are all kinds of jewelry, such as all kinds of precious jewelry bought in Semporna, except for the ones given to Concubine Yan, all of them are in it.

The last two achievements are all kinds of precious wood that Li Zhen obtained in Nanyang.

There are all kinds of tall trees, rosewood, agarwood, nanmu, steel cypress, teak, iron sandalwood... everything is collected from Borneo and the islands along the way, although each tree is only two or three However, because there are too many types and the size is huge, it occupies a full [-]% of the carriages without carriages-of course, this is also because Li Zhen is not willing to cut these woods in sections, but completes them It was caused by the reason that it was shipped over.

Chapter 2 Thirty

At the front of all the carriages, there were two carriages parked. The distance between the two carriages was more than ten meters. The carriages were dismantled and carried the head and tail of a big tree respectively.

This big tree is obviously very heavy. In addition to two four-wheeled carriages at both ends, there are several carts in the middle, and there are seven or eight horses on both sides to drag it. It can be seen that if it is not very heavy, it is not necessary Big battle.

This tree is naturally our protagonist today - the 20-meter rosewood tree.

This red sandalwood may not be the tallest among all the red sandalwood trees, but it is definitely the most important among all the trees. You must know that in order to transport it onto the ship, Li Zhen put in a lot of effort, using both pulleys and levers. It took a lot of effort to finally load the tree on board.

In fact, these big trees were all transported up in this way. Although other trees do not have such a large proportion of red sandalwood, you must know that this 20-meter red sandalwood can only be regarded as a medium-sized tree among all the trees in Li Zhen—— For example, the two teak trees are each more than 50 meters high. Although the density is not as good as that of red sandalwood (the density of teak is between 057-069g/3, far less than that of red sandalwood), but in terms of total weight, it is not necessarily true. How much less than red sandalwood.

Another example is that black sandalwood tree, which is also as high as 45 meters high, and its density is as high as 12g/3, which is much heavier than red sandalwood. When getting on the big ship, two small boats sank, and the wooden hanging tower broke because of this, and two people were seriously injured. At that time, it took more than half a day just to install this black sandalwood tree.

Of course, if we really want to talk about the value, that agarwood tree is the most valuable. The agarwood tree is not agarwood. The agarwood tree can indeed form agarwood under certain circumstances, but it cannot be said that the wood of the agarwood tree is agarwood.To be precise, agarwood is when the surface or interior of the agarwood tree is damaged, such as lightning strikes, insects, or other reasons to form a wound, in order to protect the injured part, the resin will gather around the wound.When the accumulated resin concentration reaches a certain level, this part is removed, and the agarwood can be used.However, wounds are not the only reason for the resin to coagulate. Agarwood resin also forms naturally in the interior of the tree and on decaying parts, which also form agarwood.

The agarwood tree in front of Li Zhen is not tall, only about 30 meters (the tallest agarwood tree can reach 50 meters), but after Li Zhen's identification, it was found that the age of this tree is more than 800 years, and there is a place in the middle of the tree. After peeling off the bark of the seven-meter-long lightning-shaped scar, Li Zhen was surprised to find that the underside of the scar had already turned into agarwood, and it was the best agarwood, which was even worse than royal tributes. To be tall, and it is such a big piece, it can be said to be priceless.

Because most of the trees are too tall, a considerable part of the trees are loaded like red sandalwood, otherwise a horse-drawn cart cannot transport them here.

Of course, today's protagonist is this red sandalwood tree. Compared with agarwood, the price of red sandalwood is much lower, but it can still shock the world when it is released.

At this time, the red sandalwood tree was already surrounded by people. Everyone looked at this huge red sandalwood tree and offered their praises without hesitation.

"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the emperor of the wood, such a red sandalwood, it is really a good red sandalwood."

"Yes, I have used quite a few red sandalwoods, but I have never seen a real red sandalwood tree, especially such a big one."

"I have never heard of it, I have never seen it."

"Could it be that this was obtained from an island in the South Seas?"

"..."

"I have met Your Highness, may I ask Your Highness, if this red sandalwood is placed on the market, how much will it cost?" Just as everyone was surrounding the red sandalwood in admiration, Wei Zheng suddenly saw Li Zhen coming out, and asked loudly.

Among the people present, it can be said that there is no one who knows how to do business better than Li Zhen, and Wei Zheng can be regarded as asking the right person, but it is really hard for Li Zhen to say the price of his red sandalwood.

"..." Baiguan and other spectators stopped, looking closely at Li Zhen, to see what price they could get from him.

"It's hard to say." Li Zhen thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "The price of red sandalwood is already precious in the market, and this tree in this palace is so huge that it can't be measured by the market price at all. If it is put on the auction , even if the price is doubled or tripled, it is normal."

"What? You can actually sell it for three times the price?" Baiguan was shocked. How expensive is the price of red sandalwood in the market? As regular customers, they know very clearly that the price of such a huge red sandalwood tree can no longer be measured. Oh, now Li Zhen actually wants to triple the amount...

But if they think about it carefully, if they have so much money, they can buy such a big piece of red sandalwood by three times... They were shocked to find that they really could do it.After all, if red sandalwood is used to make furniture, as long as it is maintained properly, it can last for 1000 years without any problem. If it is made into a coffin, it can be kept immortal for thousands of years. Three times the price is not a problem at all.

"It turns out that this is the old minister's haste." Wei Zheng quickly apologized, and then asked: "Then I would like to ask His Highness another question, how many such red sandalwood are there in Borneo?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, this palace still can't answer you." Li Zhen shook her head again and said, "I just went around Borneo and drew a simple map. After staying on the beach for a few days, he never landed elsewhere, let alone explored in-depth Borneo.

However, what I can tell you is that this red sandalwood tree was discovered by accident when I was playing in the jungle. The palace has not been used..."

"Wow!"

If the ministers were just shocked just now, their eyeballs are all green now, and there are still them, but think about it, how could there be only one red sandalwood tree in a forest, and Borneo is a full three-thirds of the area? One of the Nanyang Peninsula...

In other words, there must be more rosewood trees in Borneo, and there may be taller and bigger trees than this one.

This time their eyes were really green. When they thought of such a large territory with so many treasures on it, it was actually discovered by His Royal Highness, and they had no share of their own. When they thought of this, they felt that their hearts, The liver, the lungs, the kidneys, the spleen...they hurt so badly, so painfully so painfully.
