"I want them all. It will take a month. I have already asked Mohist's Mo Xia to go to Lingnan to look for rubber trees. Later, I will send someone to Lingnan to get them back." Su Ling said hurriedly.
"Okay, I agree. You take my edict to Xu Changming and let the farmers help you." Zhao Qingrui did not refuse. Su Ling could definitely create more value by using these rubbers, so Zhao Qingrui was willing to give them to him.
It's just one month's worth of rubber, it's nothing.
As long as Su Ling can research something, it would be no problem even if all the rubber trees in Shanglinyuan were handed over to him.
His Majesty agreed so easily that he even wrote an application form and wrote a lot of things just to convince His Majesty.
Ah, what a result, it was completely useless.
In the end, the application form written by Su Ling was left on Zhao Qingrui's desk. After he left, Zhao Qingrui picked it up and read it carefully.
There is a lot of content above, which basically describes how Suling wants to use rubber. It is well-reasoned and very convincing.
Of course, the handwriting is also very beautiful, with straight horizontal and vertical lines, neat and straight, comparable to printed ones, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Holding His Majesty's edict, Su Ling went directly to Shanglin Garden.
——
Within a few days, a large ship with a completely different style from the existing ships of the Qin Dynasty sailed into Xianyang City from the Wei River.
Zhao Qingrui also received Han Xin's memorial and learned that they had captured a boatload of foreigners.
Holding up his face, black people? Zhao Qingrui flipped through the map. Are there already black people who are so powerful?
Whether it is true or not, we have to meet each other.
At the court meeting on the second day, Zhang Hui and his men were summoned to the Qilin Hall.
It was his first time entering the Qilin Hall. Above him was the majestic emperor, below him were the solemn courtiers, and civil and military officials were lined up on each side. He felt his legs go weak.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhang Hui, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live forever." Zhang Hui shouted, his heart beating fast. He saw the Majesty and knew that when he returned to Donghai County, he would be able to brag to his brothers in the army.
"Stand up and tell us the details of the foreigners encountered by the navy." Zhao Qingrui said gently.
Zhang Hui looks to be in his thirties, and he has already reached the fifth rank. He has a promising future.
Anyone who is valued by Han Xin must have some abilities.
"Yes." Zhang Hui said respectfully, and then he told in detail about the discovery of the foreign ship at sea, and reported the things that were confiscated.
Many people in the court were confused. Among the confiscated items, only the ship was valuable, and the rest was simply garbage in their eyes.
How dare you bring such a small thing to Qilin Palace?
In recent years, Daqin has developed rapidly, and good things have continued to emerge. Naturally, the things they use are getting better and better. Compared with the past and now, it is like being in two different worlds.
In the past, they might have been more interested in these things.
"Bring those foreigners up." Zhao Qingrui said in a deep voice. She looked down on such a small thing.
First look at the people who were caught, and make plans for the others after understanding the situation clearly.
Soon, these people were brought up, a total of 230 people.
The court officials were familiar with people who looked like this. Didn’t this person look similar to the envoy of the Maurya Empire, but darker? Was he from the Maurya Empire?
What were they doing in the East China Sea?
“*&……%￥…….” Seeing so many people in the court, the leader spoke quickly, looking like he was anxious to explain something.
The people in the court looked at each other, and then all looked in the direction of the Honglu Temple.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked bitter, he didn't understand at all.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand their language. It seems to be completely different from the language of the Maurya Empire." The Minister of the Ministry of Rites said hurriedly.
"Call all the people from the Honglu Temple. If you can communicate with them, I will reward you handsomely." Zhao Qingrui gave the order directly.
In her previous life, she had learned English terribly, so how could she possibly learn other languages when she didn't understand the language of these people either?
Soon, all the people from the Honglu Temple came over and communicated with the black people one by one.
But, without exception, no one understood their language.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" For a moment, no one knew what to do.
However, such a small number of people is completely insignificant. They can be killed at will. With the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, they are not afraid even of the Maurya Dynasty.
"Lock them up and let them learn the language of Daqin. I want to know where they come from and what their purpose is in coming to Daqin." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"What should we do with their ships and supplies?" Li Si asked.
"Just confiscate the ship. Send up any supplies you have so I can see." Zhao Qingrui was quite interested in what they brought. What if they found something good? That would be an unexpected gain.
Following Zhao Qingrui's order, the things on the ship were quickly brought up. These things had been organized and were not messy.
Looking at the dozen or so boxes of things delivered, Zhao Qingrui suddenly found some good things, so he stood up and walked to the boxes.
When Zhao Qingrui came down, all the officials made way for him.
"Spread them all out one by one." Zhao Qingrui picked up a long piece of something that looked like a tree root and her eyes widened immediately. If she remembered correctly, this thing should be called cassava.
Cassava has many uses and a high yield, which is definitely a good thing for the current Qin Dynasty.
