Chapter 808: Servant of the people!

According to modern historians, rubber was originally produced in the Amazon

rainforest in Brazil. Later, when Columbus returned from America, he brought

rubber back to Europe by the way. Later, with the opening of the British

colonial era, they introduced rubber trees to Southeast Asia and opened

plantations there to produce rubber.

So according to modern history books, during the Tang Dynasty, it was indeed

impossible for rubber trees to appear in Southeast Asia.

However, the reason why Li Zexuan asked the Wang family's fleet to help find

them was because he was betting that wild rubber trees existed in Southeast

Asia a long time ago. Because of the unique climatic conditions in Southeast

Asia, they are really suitable for rubber tree growth. It can be seen in the

group data.

Although rubber trees originated in Brazil, in modern times, Southeast Asia

accounts for more than 90% of the global natural rubber production

distribution, while Brazil, but less than 1%! !

The reason for this pattern is inseparable from the unique climatic conditions

of Southeast Asia in addition to specific historical conditions.

Therefore, Li Zexuan was speculating whether wild rubber trees existed in

Southeast Asia before the Tang Dynasty or even longer, and then became extinct

due to some reasons. When the British colonists introduced Brazilian rubber to

Southeast Asia, the world believed that rubber was originally produced in

Southeast Asia. Brazil! ,

I have to say that the reason why he has such a fluke mentality is entirely

because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor. Who would let Datang not have a

fleet to cross the Pacific and reach the Americas!

Fortunately, his fluke has come true!

The Wang family's fleet really found wild rubber in Southeast Asia!

How can this not make him ecstatic?

At this time, he didn't care about waiting for the imperial decree at home,

and directly urged Wang Renbiao to walk to the dock with him.

Therefore, the tragic Wang Renbiao did not sit on the bench when he first

entered the house. Oh, it should be that the sofa did not sit on the hot seat,

so he was called out again!

..........................

"No, the rubber is in wooden barrels and they are still on board! Xiaoxuan,

wait, I'll ask you to find a boat and take you on the big boat to see~!"

When he arrived at the pier, Wang Renbiao pointed to several building ships on

the river with the flag of the Wang family, and said.

"Well, work!"

Li Zexuan thanked him.

Wang Renbiao smiled, then turned and left.

Li Zexuan was looking at the scene on the pier. At this moment, compared to

the morning, there are many fewer people and ships. The five hundred search

ships of the imperial court are all gone. It looks like Xiao Yu and Yan Lide.

It has been arranged. It is estimated that most of the official ships are

already on the waterway to Luoyang at this time.

Although the official ship has been arranged, the tasks of the two court

leaders are not over. They still need to arrange officials on the spot to levy

taxes on the merchant ships that have participated in the southern sea trade.

This task is not easy.

I saw two old guys set up a table one by one on the dock as a temporary office

space. There was no awning above their heads. Compared to some people in later

generations, these two outfits are really shabby. Up! But they are the real

servants of the people, worthy of everyone's respect!

"Uncle Yan, Elder Xiao Ge! You two are still busy!"

Li Zexuan walked over and greeted the two of them with respect for the older

generation of "revolutionaries" who were truly doing things.

"Yo! Xiaoxuan, are you here? The old man heard that you were up in the morning

and you were named the founding father of the country by your majesty. It is

gratifying!

Hearing the sound, Yan Lide looked up and said with a smile on his face.

He already knows that his son Yan Shaoning seems to have a "object" in the

academy. Although the other party is not a daughter of a five-surname Qiwang

or other big family members, the girl is the daughter of a contemporary Mohist

tycoon. This is not for other families. What is it, but for the Yan family

from the engineering family, it has a lot to say!

Well, in general, Yan Lide agrees with this marriage! He knew that his son was

obsessed with construction machinery all day long, like an elm bump, but he

didn't realize that he now "has an object". While this made Yan Lide happy, he

was also a little grateful to Li Zexuan.

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled at Li Zexuan, regarded as saying hello.

"Thank you, Uncle Yan! It's just the kindness of your Majesty!"

Li Zexuan responded with a smile, and then he slapped his face twice with his

hand and said to Yan Lide, "How can you two not let anyone build a shed on

such a hot day? Anyhow, but I have suffered a great loss from Datang!"

"Oh, there is no such time!"

Yan Lide sighed, pointed to the endless boat on the river, and said:

“It’s okay to say that most of the official ships of the imperial court went

straight to Luoyang. However, there are more than one thousand private fleets.

The value of the cargo on their ships is very troublesome to count. Today,

almost all officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs They are all

transferred here, but even so, it is estimated that it is impossible for all

these ships to dock and unload before dark!"

When Li Zexuan heard this, he felt that the amount of engineering that Yan

Lide and the others were facing was a bit bigger, especially the old officials

of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who used more traditional calculation

algorithms, and the calculation speed was simply touching.

Although Li Er has issued a decree a few months ago to promote new mathematics

across the country~www.mtlnovel.com~ But facing a new knowledge, it takes some

time to accept and digest. Some people are older and accept it. The ability of

new knowledge is worse, and the speed is slower.

"It's not a way to go on like this, Uncle Yan and Elder Xiao Ge, I'll send

someone to help you build a few sheds, and I will send you some ice cubes and

ice water by the way. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get heat stroke!"

Li Zexuan wiped his sweat and said.

Yan Lide and Xiao Yu didn't have time to make these, but he had time! Seeing

two elderly people over half a hundred years old, silently contributing to

this country under the scorching sun, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. However,

it is with people like them that Datang will gradually become stronger until

it is invincible in the world!

The two old guys smiled, but didn't refuse Li Zexuan's kindness. The officials

of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who were busy calculating the accounts seemed

to have heard the dialogue here. At this moment, the action of their writing

made them happier.

"Hou Yongan, the old man heard that you have a group of students who are quite

proficient in mathematics, why don't you call them over and help beat them?"

Xiao Yu looked up at Li Zexuan and smiled at this moment.

Since the imperial court introduced the new-style arithmetic, he has also

privately studied the arithmetic textbook compiled by Li Zexuan. Even if he is

picky, he has to admit that the new-style arithmetic has an unparalleled

advantage in calculation speed. That’s why he will say so now. .

Li Zexuan was taken aback, and then smiled bitterly: "Elder Xiao Ge, it's not

a kid who doesn't want to cooperate, it's really my batch of students, they

are still undergoing military training in the academy right now! Can't go

away!"
