Chapter 193: Spices Li Zhen also concluded: "Heaven is fair, if he gives you something, he will take away something from you, and in the same way, if God takes away something from you, he will compensate you with another thing - this is God closes a door for you, but also opens a window for you." ” "But Your Highness, didn't you say yesterday that there is no absolute fairness in this world?"
Zhang Cambodia seemed to be addicted to Li Zhen, and directly debunked his words.
Li Zhen: "......"
Yu Chi Baoqing: "......"
Roger: "......"
Cheng Chuliang: "......"
Pei Xingjian: "......"
Li Zhen looked at Zhang Cambodia viciously: You go away, where you are, you are always inexplicably cold. “…… Forehead......
Certainly not absolutely fair. ” Li Zhen wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and forcibly defended herself: "Do you think, can the door and the window be the same?"
If there is a door, who will choose the window, right?
” "......"
Yu Chi Baoqing: Even if I am stupid, I think Your Highness is fooling people. "......"
Luo Zhe: Is this the forced explanation of the legend?
Sure enough, this explanation is indeed forceful enough. "......"
Cheng Chuliang: I'm Cheng Chuliang, not Wei Chi Baoqing, Your Highness, don't fool me as a fool, okay?
"......"
Pei Xingjian: Despise IND...... “…… Ah......"
Zhang Cambodia opened his mouth, and Luo Zhe kicked him aside without waiting for Li Zhen to make a move: Didn't you see that His Highness's face was already dark?
Don't take us with you if you die, bastard, don't you have any eyes at all?
Of course, the fight between several people does not actually affect the relationship between several people, and even Zhang Cambodia's deliberate confrontation with Li Zhen has an element of play.
Time passed in the midst of everyone's fighting, and the fifty-mile voyage was soon over.
"Your Highness, we're already here."
The captain came over to report.
"Is it here so soon?"
Luo Zhe asked, looking at the island in front of him with a circumference of only a dozen miles, and was very curious: "Your Highness, this is our destination?"
But what's on it?
” "Hehe, what's there?
Of course there are treasures.
Li Zhen looked at the lush island in front of her and chuckled, "There are endless treasures hidden on it." ” "What treasure could have more than Silver Island?"
Zhang Cambodia stood up again to pick up things: "Silver Island can dig up millions of taels of silver a year, can this island be?"
Unless it's pure gold ore on it. ” "Gold mines?
Silver?
After all, there will be a day when the digging will be finished, and where can it compare to this?
As long as it is not predatory mining, it is enough to ensure that we eat for 10,000 years. ” Speaking of Silver Island, Li Zhen is quite disdainful, the area of Silver Island is so large, and the pure silver island can not survive at all, all materials have to be transported from the mainland, and the living conditions are extremely inconvenient, not to mention that Silver Island is small in area, it can't stand up at all, and the annual silver output is only 10 million taels at most, which is indeed a big treasure for others, but for Li Zhen, it is really nothing - of course, this is not to say that Li Zhen can't look down on the treasure of Silver Island, But in a country like Silver Island, which is destined to belong to a country, even if Li Zhen is the prince, it is not easy to interfere.
Moreover, in the future, Li Zhen has never heard of any silver-producing islands in the South China Sea, which means that the days of this silver island at sea will not be too long, at least before the Europeans land in the South China Sea in the future, this island has completely sunk into the sea.
What's more, Silver Island is so big, no matter how much you save mining, there will be a day when the mining will be completed, and even if Silver Island does not sink into the sea by itself, it is destined to be hollowed out by Datang.
But the island in front of you is different, although the profit of a year may not be as good as that of Silver Island, but the emphasis is on the long flow of fine water, if it is properly maintained, it can really eat 10,000 years.
Pei Xingjian asked, "What is on this?"
” "What is it?
Spices, you know?
Li Zhen finally told the truth of the matter: "This is a spice island - to be exact, the plants in this entire archipelago are made up of spices. ” "What?
Spices?
Luo Zhe was shocked inexplicably.
"An island of spices?"
Pei Xingjian was almost speechless.

"Oh my God, how much spice does that have to be?"
Cheng Chuliang was crazy.
"We're going to get rich, we're going to be rich."
Yu Chi Baoqing broke out directly. "......"
Zhang Cambodia was silent. “……” As soon as they heard about spices, everyone became excited, and everyone never knew how valuable spices were in ancient times without being to ancient times - so to speak, in ancient times when the food industry was not developed, people ate meat by spices to remove the smell and smell.
In particular, the Tang people love to eat mutton, but if the sheep that grows up on grass does not use spices, then the roasted mutton has no way to eat at all.
It's just that there are too few types of spices in the Tang Dynasty, basically just a few, but fortunately, there is an influx of Western merchants who have introduced Western spices to China.
Especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the spice trade was prosperous.
The best merchants in the Arab and Persian regions, with their extraordinary business talents, trafficked all kinds of exotic spices from East Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia into China through the sea and the Silk Road.
The Tang Empire also has its inclusive grandeur, and everyone who comes does not refuse.
In addition to being used in the country's major sacrificial and religious activities, spices were also widely used in daily life by the wealthy and luxurious Tang people, as well as for food and health care, medicine and healing, or as an adjunct for alchemy.
Who would have thought that the Tang people, who never put anyone in their eyes, would be conquered by these dead branches and leaves?
The Tang people loved spices, and their social life, especially that of the upper classes, was not only rich but also rich.
Open the classics of the Tang Dynasty, you often feel the aroma, and there are countless records about spices.
"Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" said: King Ning (King Ning Li Xian, the eldest son of Ruizong, gave up the throne to Li Longji, and was posthumously named Emperor Jean) is delicate and attaches great importance to personal image.
Before he received a guest, he chewed two pieces of agarwood or musk.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the fragrance overflowed the four seats.
"Tan Binlu" said that Tang Xuanzong chiseled a pond in Huaqing Palace, and there was a boat next to the pool, which was carved with sandalwood (such a big sandalwood, it is worth hundreds of millions now).
Where to sail in a fragrant boat?
Drive to the giant rockery made of sandalwood in the center of the pond.
This rockery is said to be built in imitation of the appearance of the legendary Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, but even if it is the real legendary Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, it is inferior to a little sweet.
As for the stories of large quantities of burning and spreading spices, such as "When the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to visit a certain palace, the eunuchs first had to pave the way with dipterocarp and tulips", or "When the rich king Yuanbao slept, he always arranged for two boys to stand in front of the bed with Boshan incense burners."
Burning incense all night long" and the like are even more numerous in all kinds of historical novels.
