The area controlled by the Northern Heavenly Kingdom has been wider by the previous area controlled by the Panawa Dynasty.

Even in history books, it can leave a rich and colorful stroke.

"Yes, so I suggest continuing to purchase swords and arrows from the Tang people, which is our greatest help in defending Varanasi City.

Now in the city of Kanchipuram, there is a Tangren shop specializing in the sword trade.

The swords they sell are many times better than those we make ourselves.

The key is that their price is not much more expensive than the stainless steel knives we made ourselves.

After weighing the pros and cons, it is more cost-effective to buy swords directly from the Tang Dynasty merchants."

Ambani thought of the stack of silver notes from the Tang Dynasty royal money house in his mansion, and then the other party promised to pay afterwards, and was more motivated to persuade Ansello to purchase the Tang Dynasty weapons.

Although his status in the Northern Heavenly Kingdom is not low, due to his background, his future is no longer very broad.

At this time, he naturally began to consider making money.

"Tangren's sword is very good, I know this.

But they only collect gold and silver every time, and don’t want anything else, which is a bit of a headache."

Ansello didn't think much about it.

He had seen the good weapons of the Tang Dynasty long ago.

"In fact, this question is very simple. There are special pawnshops in our city responsible for placing goods.

If we have something to take out and pay it off, we can just put it in the pawn shop.

The backgrounds of these pawn shops are very complex, and they have the ability to digest these things.

If we are in our hands, we will be embarrassed.”

Ambani continued to advise without any effort.

At this time, you naturally cannot let go.

Otherwise, all the efforts made before would be in vain.

"If you all have a good plan, then create the specific plan.

If I think there is no problem, you can follow this plan."

Ancero said this basically means increasing the scale of sword procurement, which is basically a foregone conclusion.

Thanks to the continuous increase in the output of the Tang Dynasty's steel, the output of the Tang Dynasty's swords is also increasing.

It is obviously an ordinary sword, but when it comes to the South China Sea and the West, it becomes synonymous with high-quality quality.

Even some so-called treasure knives are not as good as those of these big street goods.

...

"Empress Defei, the black tea has been brewed, please use it slowly."

In the mansion of the city lord in Qiwanggang, Liu Lanxuan personally brought a cup of hot tea to Concubine De.

As Defei's personal maid, Liu Lanxuan is also the number one figure in Qiwanggang.

Even Li You's wife, Wei, dared not scold her casually.

"Lan Xuan, your skills in making tea are getting more and more powerful."

Concubine De took the teacup and took a sip, looking very enjoyable.

In recent years, black tea has been very popular in Qiwanggang and Tianzhu.

On the contrary, green tea represented by Longjing fragrant tea is not particularly large in Nanyang.

Those Indians, even big cannibals, like to drink black tea with some other things together.

It can be said that the tea drinking atmosphere here is very different overall than that of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's all good for the Queen to train! There are many hills around King of Qi Port. According to the tea book, these yellow soil hilly areas are actually very suitable for the planting of tea trees.

You said we can consider introducing tea tree planting around Qiwang Port, and we will set up a tea-making workshop in the future?"

Liu Lanxuan is only in her early thirties this year, and obviously she doesn't want to live her life like this ordinary.

When she was in the palace before, if she wanted to stand out, there would be basically no hope.

Because as a person around Concubine De, the rights and benefits she can enjoy have reached its peak.

But after coming to Qiwanggang, the situation was different again.

Women in the Tang Dynasty were not like those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the fact that they showed up in public was nothing at all.

In Chang'an City, whether it is Wu Meiniang, Gu Panpan, or Zixia, they are all very famous in the business district.

So Liu Lanxuan also hopes that she can leave something here in Qiwanggang.

Tea is obviously a very good entry point she thinks.

There are many tea gardens in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not so difficult to recruit tea-making craftsmen.

As long as Concubine De made up her mind to plant tea trees here, things would definitely be done.

However, Liu Lanxuan obviously ignored something.

"The land around Qiwang Port may be very suitable for growing tea, but it is absolutely impossible to grow tea here in Qiwang Port.

All tea can only be transported from the local area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

This thing is lightweight and the transportation cost is not particularly high, so there is no need to plant it here.”

Concubine De’s idea was obviously not much the same as Liu Lanxuan.

As a concubine who has been in the palace for so many years, her awareness is still very high.

She knew everything she could do and what she could not do.

Obviously, planting tea trees is something that she cannot do.

"Although the transportation cost is not high, those merchants are so unscrupulous.

It is obvious that tea that costs a pound of money is only sold in Chang'an City, but it is sold here at a pound of money is more than a pound of money.

The route from Datang to Qiwang Port has been very stable and there is no particularly high risk.

In this case, they still want to make so much profit, which is really too unintentional."

Liu Lanxuan is responsible for purchasing many things around Defei, and obviously she is very familiar with the price situation of Qiwanggang.

"Lan Xuan, I have heard a story before, I don't know if it's true or false.

Back then, people from the Silla Kingdom secretly built a mulberry forest near Jincheng, and then raised silkworms next to them, wanting to make their own silk.

As a result, the mulberry forest was not fully prepared and was burned down by a sudden fire.

All the mulberry trees and silkworm farmers died in the fire.

At the same time, the shipbuilding workshop opened by the Silla people themselves was also attacked by fire.

Do you think this story is true or false?”

Concubine De lived in Qiwanggang very leisurely and had enough time.

Today, her personal maid was unconsciously stepping on the red line, so she naturally had to train her.

However, she is very gentle in her way of dealing with things now and will not beat and scold her directly.

"I have vaguely heard about this story.

I think although there may be some moisture, it should be basically true.”

Liu Lanxuan hesitated for a moment and gave her own answer.

"I can tell you with great certainty that this story is true, without any moisture, and even the real situation is even more cruel than you think."

Concubine De continued to take a sip of black tea and stared at Liu Lanxuan.

"Ah? Such a coincidence is real?"

"Coincidentally? Lan Xuan, you are also an old man in the palace. Do you think this is a coincidence?

There are no so many coincidences in this world.

If you think this is a coincidence, it means you have not seen through this matter.

Behind any coincidence, there are often artificial traces.”

Concubine De treated Liu Lanxuan as half of her sister.

So I am very patient when training.

"Empress, do you mean that these fires in the Kingdom of Silla are all man-made?

All the craftsmen in the plantations and shipbuilding workshops were deliberately burned to death?

This...is a little too cruel, right?

At least hundreds of people were killed or injured at one time, or even more."
