During the return journey, with the continuous encounters of official private boats, more news gathered around Zhou Huaian.

For example, an unexpected good news from the sea was that the fleet led by Fei Kong, the naturalized merchant, who was dedicated, gave him a surprise after returning again;

This time, in addition to traditional spices, pearls, gems, sandalwood, ivory, cotton, dyes, medicinal materials and other rare goods, many local saltpeter and nitroso soil from India were also brought as the pressing materials on the bottom of the ship; that's right, saltpeter and nitroso soil formed by crystallization of a large amount of nitrate.

It is said that what is mined directly from local soil and weathered rocks can be purified as long as it is boiled in water; and the cost of local labor collection is extremely cheap, and has long been regarded as a formula for a drug and pigment.

Therefore, for the Tu princes and leaders of the local coastal coastal areas, as long as someone wants to get the bulk trade, they will be mined as much as they have. In this way, the scientific and technological tree that leads to gunpowder and hot weapons has been solved in a key source, and can be said to have entered the stage of batch production and experimentation.

The good news about tide is that the oil palm seedlings introduced from the African continent in the gardens opened in coastal areas have already survived. Although this thing looks a bit similar to coconut trees, it is the highest oil yield among the oil crops in the world; the oil content in fruits and seeds can even reach 30% and 40%, which is five times higher than peanut planting of the same area and nine times higher than soybeans. It is called the "world oil king".

Although palm oil is a type of vegetable oil, it can partially replace other oils, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, lard and butter. Therefore, after refining and separating, palm oil can obtain products with different melting points, which have a wide range of uses in the catering industry, food industry and oil chemical industry. It has become the world's highest-yield oil crop, accounting for almost 35% of the global animal and vegetable oil market.

Later China has become the world's largest palm oil importer, with palm oil consumption of about 6 million tons per year, accounting for 20% of the global market; so most of the sheep-headed dog meat-style tones and oils sold in supermarkets are mixed with this cheap oil; so there are actually several samples of the specially modified pickup truck that have been modified from seedlings in Africa.

However, even if there is a method of reproduction in the division, it will take almost a year or two to see the specific results. But this is also the nutritional intake supplement that most people at the bottom of this era lack, and it is also the basic raw material supply for primary industrial products such as soap and candles.

In addition, after bringing back a large number of shipwrecks from Annan (the local area is also one of the major shipbuilding bases in the South China Sea), Zhou Huaian could consider starting to imitate the vehicles and ships used in the north in this era; this was also the earliest watercraft with man-operated pedal transmission in the world, invented by King Li Gao of Cao during the Kaiyuan period; because it can travel against the current without being affected by the wind direction on the inland waterway, it has now been widely used in northern canal transport.

Although this kind of vehicle and ship manufacturing technology is still strictly controlled by the court and some important close vassal states, without the chance to spread to the people; for those who have been influenced by the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, this thing is theoretically just a broken layer of window paper, and it will not be more difficult than the manual class model of primary and secondary schools in later generations.

When I was in Guangzhou, I found that the local area was mainly large and medium-sized sea ships. The scale and technical level of inland river ship manufacturing are not as good as the Jiaozhou area of ​​Annan, where a large number of rivers are spread all over the country and is convenient for materials. Once it is promoted and popularized, it will also be an important bonus in logistics and transportation efficiency in the Lingnan area with many river branches.

Then there was news that the riot of the temples in the north and west of Lingnan was becoming more and more intense; even after being besieged and killed in Fuzhou many days ago, Yan Shun, a general under the command of the left-behind commander Meng Qi. Since then, Meng Kai, who had always been in Guangzhou, was rarely furious and sent thousands of troops to take Fuzhou.

In the history of the rebel army, this few awesome figures who destroyed Dangxiang and Fuyan's army, defeated Qin Zongquan, the governor of the ogre devil, Caizhou. As the mastermind and driving force behind the scenes, Zhou Huaian could only watch a second of silent silence for those bald heads who were full of shit and were doomed.

However, Meng Kai's temporary departure is also a good thing for Zhou Huaian in a short time. As the saying goes, it is a waste of sight. Although he brought them a lot of benefits and benefits when he was fighting Annan, after he came back, he took the opportunity to proclaim himself and stayed at Jiaozhou, and his master-slave status and way of continuing to get along with him, the master-slave status of Guangzhou, and the way to continue getting along.

In comparison, the deputy envoy Lin Yan was much better to deal with, just because of wealth and status. Zhou Huaian even prepared a ten-word scholar-in-law to persuade him to "request" him to take the position of governor of Jiaozhou. Yes, the governor of Jiaozhou also had corresponding seals to pull the nephew of Huang Wang into the water. This is also one of the multiple insurances and back-ups left by Zhou Huaian for himself.

However, after he arrived at the near shore of Guangzhou by boat, there was another big "accident".

"What the hell is this..."

The crowds gathered at Huawei Outer Port in Guangzhou still made Zhou Huaian a little scared. He almost thought that something happened in Guangzhou, and he wanted to call people to turn around and prepare for the war immediately;

Then from the small boat that drew water, I realized that these were all spontaneously welcomed and watched, and that the new generation of famous generals who represented the rebel army to "puff the Southern Barbarians and restore the traffic management".

I saw the embankments, beaches, trestles and ports, and I saw that there were already crowds of people, and there were shouting something in a while; there was also a bamboo shed building that was temporarily built with several floors high, full of colorful silk cloth and green branches of flowers and plants; the feeling of familiarity was almost like "Welcome the XX leader to inspect/guid the work".

You should know that the economic activities of Guangzhou and Jiaozhou throughout the era, trade and exchanges between the people were particularly close. Therefore, it is easy to obtain many rumors and anecdotes that occurred in Annan through the restoration of maritime trade and canal traffic;

Some of the contents have become exaggerated and amplified after repeated transmissions by business travelers and fleeing people, such as "killing tens of thousands of barbarians, and Zhu Luan and all the rivers are Chishui", and all the people are happy and unrecognizable.

However, don't underestimate the role and effect of these nonsense or rumors. This means that the rebel army or rather Zhou Huaian's individual has reached a new level of recognition and authority among the people; after all, in this era of chaos and chaos, most people at the bottom do not desire a powerful protector with enough ability and skills to easily expedition hundreds of miles to defeat the enemy.

Especially for those maritime merchants and ship merchants traveling across the sea and even from Lingnan, this is also quite good news and prospects. Most of them are not worried about the insatiable aggregation methods from the government, or the rude and arbitrary rule from top to bottom, but they have to worry about whether the people in power in their hometowns have sufficient means and deterrent power to protect and protect.

Of course, this linkage and response to the upper level of the left-behind department is not so pleasant;

In fact, listening to the sound of mountains that could not even be blocked by the city walls from the port area outside the city, Lin Yan, as the second-person, was simply surprised and shocked with his subordinates and guests who were having a banquet. He was shocked and shocked on the spot, and he knocked down many of the furnishings and wine and food.

"Seeing that this generation's wings are just a thief, the Guangzhou Left-behind Office can be limited."

Among these people in the Hong Kong area, some people were sighing in their own booing:

"It is also good at military strategies and military strategies, and is good at governing the law. It can also manage people's livelihood, sort out goods and breed, and write and establish teachings for this purpose, and preach to everyone..."

"This is the principle of using military sects, legalists, Mohists, and peasants to use mixed schools. This is an authentic dragon-slaying technique."

"I don't know if it's for myself or for others..."

Another voice continued.

"No matter what, if we want to follow the trend and benefit from it, we have to change our course and choose to change our minds..."

"The first step is to take the lead in making a clear move with those grain traders who don't know how to live or die."

"Since this ghost monk has returned, if he wants to continue playing hoarding activities under his hands, he will seek death."

"Don't think you can be spared by taking advantage of the reasons and origins of Deputy Envoy Lin and the General's Mansion. Don't you know that the name of this Shura monk is rude again..."

Someone opened the voice and said,

"In addition to that Meng Liuzhou who was quelling the chaos outside, I'm afraid that there will be a good show to open next..."

"It is precisely because of this that we have to hurry up and bet."

Some of the fleets went directly to Chaozhou to dock, and the rest docked in Guangzhou with Zhou Huaian. Then Zhou Huaian realized that during this period, a large-scale rice waste and intermittent famine occurred in Guangzhou. You must know that even during the occupation of most of the rebels, there was no situation.

In this regard, although some people took the opportunity to fan the flames and hoard the goods, it can also be seen that the plundering of the Left-behind Department was so cruel. The tens of thousands of stones of Jiaozhou rice he brought became a timely rain in a sense; the mountains of grain piled up from the ship were loaded and unloaded, which made the originally floating people's hearts stabilized in an instant.

However, in the subsequent treatment, Zhou Huaian vaguely excluded the remaining department. In addition to the publicly available limit on selling rice at a affordable price in Guangzhou, he also led a team to inspect the military farms in various places and provided relief to calm people's hearts. This is also a good opportunity to gradually break with the General's Mansion in his own name.
