The soul wears a mother's womb, and was overheard by the emperor Laozi

On the contrary, Situ Heng was a little restless. Did the three of them really change, or did they pretend to be like this in front of him on purpose?

Are these still his three sons?He didn't even dare to admit it.

Sitting together with Fang Pu, Fang Yuan and Fang Pu began to talk about going to Persia.

Long Lin listened very carefully and was horrified.

Fangyuan's harvest during this mission was huge. Unsurprisingly, the silk clothing and porcelain tea leaves he carried were sought after by countless people. Most of those pieces were sold at sky-high prices. Fang Yuan is worthy of being a shrewd person, some give away, some sell, and he has collected a lot of money.

While Fang Yuan was collecting things arranged by Long Lin, he was doing a lot of transactions with the local area. Fang Yuan brought back a large amount of seeds, cattle, sheep, horses and livestock, everything was available, and Fang Yuan never let go of any novelties.

Everything was going well at first, and when Fangyuan was sold out, they started to return with the mission team.

But unexpectedly, it happened at this time.

The Persian army directly besieged them, and a fierce decisive battle was launched. After a bloody battle, they were besieged in the middle.

At that moment, all of them felt that they were bound to die.

In order to be able to bring these things back to the Dragon Dynasty, Fang Yuan was quick to use his wits and began negotiations with the other party under shouting.

Originally thought that the Persian army would wipe them all out, but they didn't. Instead, they accepted his negotiation.

And on their side, they had no power to resist.

In order to make Fang Yuan show his sincerity, Persia directly tied up Situ Heng's three sons.

The negotiations were very intense, and Persia's intentions were very obvious. They wanted to let them keep the gold and silver, and the seed horses they got in exchange could be taken away.

Fang Yuan and the other party were talking intensely, without giving in at all, he had already made up his mind to die.

He just wanted to take advantage of Persia's fear of the Dragon Dynasty and win a glimmer of life from it.

At the last moment, Persia obviously relaxed his attack on them. Presumably, he also had a little fear in his heart.

Fang Yuan didn't say much about how difficult the process was.

But Fang Yuan succeeded, and brought back everything. Originally, Persia wanted to keep three people as hostages, but Fang Yuan refused to do so. Finally, they were trapped for a long time before releasing them.

Fang Yuan guessed that there must be some people in Persia who are against it, and they must have heard about the prosperity of the Dragon Dynasty.

In short, some soldiers were sacrificed, but most of them came back unscathed.

After the three were taken away, they did not actually experience torture, but they would not be given food from time to time, and they would starve for days and nights.

The three of them experienced this kind of experience for a year.

When Fang Yuan saw it, the three of them were already on the verge of death, and only had one breath left. If it wasn't for the imperial physician who accompanied them, the three of them would have to stay on the land of Persia forever.

And this is why the three of them changed.

Long Lin finally understood that it is very difficult for a person to change a lot without going through life and death once, but if a person has not changed in his whole life, he is the most pitiful person who has lived his entire life in vain.

Humans always have to change before they can become human, otherwise, wouldn't they be no different from animals?

After a banquet, it was very pleasant to eat.

Finally, Long Lin sent them all out one by one.

After a day's rest, Long Lin and Fang Yuan immediately went to check the large number of things that Fang Yuan had brought back.

The first thing to look at is those seeds.

There were so many seeds that some Long Lin didn't recognize them at all, but Long Lin recognized the petals of a pot of potatoes at a glance.

Potatoes grow, and after the petals open, they are very beautiful.

At the beginning, this was regarded as an object of appreciation. It was later that people discovered that the potatoes grown under it could be used for eating.

With potatoes, Long Lin was undoubtedly extremely happy.

Today's potatoes must be extremely small. They have to be planted countless times, and the larger ones are selected as seeds. Over time, they will grow bigger.

In addition to potatoes, there are some livestock.

Long Lin began to arrange these things properly, instructing Fang Pu and Situ Heng on everything.

Chapter 562

Long Lin didn't have much time, so he started making arrangements directly.

Near the capital, the royal family still has a large amount of land, which is cultivated by the court every year.

Of course, more land has been rewarded to the ministers.

There are still very few seeds now, and the land of the royal family is enough. Long Lin made arrangements to sow the seeds by category, and then how to plant, how to harvest, and how to deal with the seeds, all of which were arranged in detail.

Situ Heng and Fang Pu were horrified when they heard this.

They looked at the few potted flowers of Tudou with dementia on their faces.

If it wasn't for Long Lin's words, they would never have known that there are edible potatoes growing under this bewitching flower.

And it was the first time they had heard the word potato.

Although they were extremely surprised in their hearts why Long Lin knew this, they didn't open their mouths to ask, they just suppressed their doubts in their hearts, but undoubtedly, this incident made them terrified.

They are all human beings, how could they not understand that this His Highness is probably far more than what they thought.

His Highness unexpectedly said this kind of thing for the first time.

But they also understand that things that shouldn't be said can't be said even if they die. They are already on the same line, and everyone in the court may have already understood this matter.

After making these arrangements, Long Lin was in a good mood.

The silver that Fang Pu brought back surprised Long Lin. Mr. Fang only brought tens of thousands of taels of silver on his mission, but when he came back, he brought back as much as a million taels.

How did this old man do it?Could it be that the nobles of Persia were played by him alone?

After some understanding, Long Lin was also amazed.

Mr. Fang doesn't look like an official, he is even worse than a profiteer.

But in his heart, he felt very happy about this. The imperial court needed such people to be sent as envoys, not those who pretended to be two-tailed.

With the money, Long Lin directly arranged for Fang Pu to start building schools in the world, transfer a large number of outstanding and outstanding people in the capital to serve as deans of various schools, and build schools in the world. , quickly forming an unprecedented wave of learning.

At the same time, he arranged for Fang Pu to hold an imperial examination, which was the emperor's intention, to be grand and to be known to the world.

But this time, it is not only about selecting officials, but also about arranging students for research work in various research institutes.

The front is the meaning of the emperor, and the back is his meaning. The emperor did not object, so he acquiesced.

As for why the imperial examination is required, Long Lin can imagine.

Most of the officials in the four prefectures will probably be directly held accountable by Long Qi. Those people will definitely not be able to continue to hold official positions, and there will be a lot of vacancies all of a sudden. His father probably already had the idea of ​​changing blood. It's just that there has never been a good entry point.

Except for the officials of the four prefectures, Shizhou and Daizhou, most of them will not escape the responsibility this time, which will make the gap even bigger.

Fang Pu is capable enough to do these things, and Long Ye will assist him, so he can rest assured.

At the same time, Fang Yuan proposed to make a second mission as soon as possible.

This is the promise he made during the negotiation, this time he will bring more things, but Persia will collect part of the silver taels obtained from the transaction. Although Fang Yuan is unwilling, there is no other way.

Long Lin nodded. Over the years, everything has been prepared.

There are already a lot of things manufactured in each factory, and what is waiting is that Fang Yuan can take these things with him and go on an mission again after he comes back.

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, Long Lin looked at Fang Yuan.

"Lord Fang, such a huge gain is undoubtedly a great thing for our court, but you have already been sent to this matter once, and you are well aware of the danger of this matter. With these gains, in the short term It’s perfectly fine not to go on a mission, my goal has actually been achieved.”

After Fang Yuan heard this, she shook her head directly.

"Your Highness, these gains are of great significance. All of them are silver taels from foreign races, which flowed into our Dragon Dynasty. Although there are dangers, the benefits are also huge. If we can get more, then our court, our people, I'm afraid I'll be rich soon, I'm old and I won't live for a few more years, I just hope that I can do more for the Dragon Dynasty and the people of the world."

After hearing this, Long Lin froze on the spot.

After hearing these words, Situ Heng was stunned.

As far as Fang Yuan is concerned, he can be said to be a person who knows very well. In the past, most of Fang Yuan's works were for him, but now Fang Yuan's work is only for the imperial court and only the people of the world.

He could clearly detect this change.

All of a sudden, his heart was also greatly shocked.

That's right, Fang Yuan won't live for a few years, but what about him?No, it's the same, the two of them are about the same age.

Even the old man Fangyuan can think so, let alone him, he has to use all his energy to complete some things well.

Otherwise, when he saw Fang Yuan again in the future, he might be too ashamed to stand beside her.

Long Lin's eyes became complicated for a while.

Fang Yuan's words were exactly what he thought in his heart, but such an old man had to continue to travel on missions and on his way to serve the country, he really couldn't bear it in his heart.

"Master Fang, look, let the three of them go instead of you, how about?"

After Fang Yuan heard this, he looked at Situ Heng's three sons, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the three of them have changed, their experience is still not enough. He can naturally understand this. Although the three of them are as enthusiastic as him now, they still cannot handle many emergencies properly.

But after the three of them heard this, they opened their mouths, but they didn't say a word. The three of them had already convinced Fang Yuan on this mission, and the three of them actually knew in their hearts that they couldn't bear it now. Take on such a heavy responsibility.

"Your Highness, I will take them on another mission. Next time, the three of them will serve for the imperial court. I believe that the three of them will be able to be trained well by the next trip. It can be regarded as a usable talent of the imperial court."

After hearing this, Long Lin could only nod with a wry smile.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, but if you need it, you can just ask. I have entrusted someone to send the gold, silver and jewels that the emperor rewarded you to your mansion. Although I know that you may not need them now, you should stay in In your hand, it may be of great use in the future, Fang Pu, money is hard-won, it is bought in blood, you have to make good use of it, and don't fall into the hands of dirty people."

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely get it done."

After hearing this, Long Lin nodded with a smile.

"Very good, we're at my mansion today, let's get drunk again, firstly, I will see you off, and secondly, I will also go to Shizhou."

After Long Lin finished speaking, they all smiled and nodded.

Everyone had a happy smile on their cheeks.

Chapter 563 Believe easily

During the meal, several people were talking about the future of the Long Dynasty, but Long Lin smiled without saying a word.

In the words, Fang Yuan and Situ Heng were full of confidence in the future, and their expressions were obviously full of excitement.

In fact, Long Lin can understand these very well.

The huge gains from the mission gave the two people unlimited hope.

Fang Yuan saved the lives of most of the envoys by himself. In fact, the process was extremely difficult. Even his own life was on the line. But in the end, Fang Yuan succeeded. Not only did he survive, but also Situ Heng's three sons also survived together.

Everyone drank a lot of wine, Fang Yuan said with emotion.

"Being in the court for decades, it feels like a dream, as if I have lived for decades in vain, as if I have done something, but it seems that I have not done anything, but this trip, I feel that I am truly I lived once, and all my abilities were fully displayed. Maybe it was God who gave me a helping hand and made me succeed. I thank Your Highness for giving me such an opportunity. It's worth it, and you can smile at Jiuquan even after you die."

Fang Yuan spoke very slowly, but every word obviously came from the depths of his heart.

Long Lin picked up the wine glass and immediately froze in mid-air.

Looking at Fangyuan's cheek, his expression instantly became very strange.

He could see that Fangyuan's cheeks were full of gratitude.

But the mission, his original idea, was very simple, just for those seeds.

And the reason why Fang Yuan was chosen was because he felt that Fang Yuan was the most suitable person for this job, and if someone else was changed, he might not have that ability at all.

If it's Situ Heng, I'm afraid it won't work.

But Fang Yuan's words, including Fang Yuan's reaction, made his heart full of shock and bewilderment for a moment.

He could see the relief on Fangyuan's cheek.

I'm afraid that even if Fang Yuan passed away now, he would feel very at ease.

But what about him?What if you lose your life?Will he be so calm?

Deep in his heart, he actually had a clear answer. In his life, there was nothing that made him feel that death was worth it.

Long Lin was in a daze, and Fang Yuan looked in his eyes with a hint of astonishment.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I am really grateful to you. What gold and silver, what power, what fame and fortune, compared with the experience this incident brought me, can be completely given up. I am an old man, and I sincerely thank Your Highness."
