"Huh?" Liu Hong gradually felt that the painting style was wrong.

People Zhuge Kongming sounds so high-end and high-grade, how can the same surname come to you and become Zhuge Tieniu?

Whoever gave this name is simply ruining the name of Zhuge God of War.

"And what's your father's name?" Liu Hongjian is still a little unrelenting.

"Back to the prince, my father's name is Zhuge Zhuang." Zhuge Tieniu didn't know why the prince was interested in his and his father's names, but he didn't dare to say honestly.

"Oh yes, how many rubber tree seeds did you bring back this time?" Liu Hong gradually decided to skip this topic, he was worried that a Zhuge crab would pop up again in a while.

"Back to the prince, there are a lot, please see, the ship is full of rubber tree seeds, and the three ships are full of latex left on the rubber trees." Zhuge Iron Bull Road.

When Liu Hong heard this, he directly boarded the ship to check, only to see that there were indeed boxes of rubber tree seeds stored in the cabin, neatly listed, and there were hundreds of catties.

"Good! Good! Liu Hong patted Zhuge Tieniu's shoulder excitedly, and said two good words in a row.

The rubber tree is one of the most economically valuable species, and the refining process is not complicated.

Cut a strip of rubber on the bark of the tree, let the rubber milk seep out, collect the latex, put it at room temperature for two days and cook it in water, and take out the sin Xian Xian is natural rubber, which can be further processed to produce tires and other tools.

Needless to say, just tires are enough to change Daming's existing means of travel.

With tires, the carriage no longer has to be bumpy and unbearable, and with tires, it may be time to hand over the design ideas of the bicycle to the craftsmen.

The cement road that runs through the north and south has been repaired, think about it, when the bicycle comes out, a group of soldiers wearing Ming costumes, carrying muskets on their backs, and carrying war knives at their waists ride bicycles to swagger through the city.

If you wear a turban on your head, it doesn't look like a low-profile version of the military engineering team behind enemy lines?

Maybe the carriage is about to be eliminated, the kid named Sun Yunqiu from the Ordnance Institute has to be cultivated well, internal gas, internal gas, as long as you come out, Lao Tzu can get the car out.

Although it is the core of a tractor, it is much more windy than a horse-drawn carriage, isn't it?

Hey, hey, hey, Liu Hong gradually fell into the vision of the future and couldn't extricate himself.

"Lord, lord?" Zhuge Tieniu felt that this prince seemed to have a problem with his brain, so he grabbed a handful of rubber tree seeds and smiled stupidly, like a second fool.

"Huh? What the? ”

"Back to the prince, these tree species and latex are thanks to Aragorn, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get so many." Zhuge Tieniu thought for a while.

"Aragon...... Who is Aragorn, Aladdin's uncle? Liu Hong was interrupted and was not annoyed, and asked casually.

"He is the leader of a small tribe on the west coast of South Melica, he is on our ship now, do you want to meet him, he has come thousands of miles here to meet you, the prince!" Zhuge Tieniu said enthusiastically.

"Aborigines, how do natives want to come to Daming? Do you want to see this king? Liu Hong gradually wondered when he heard this.

"That's not right! You must have taken advantage of someone, right? Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhuge Tieniudao.

"Where can we be, my lord, the first purpose of our trip to Melica is for this rubber tree seed, isn't it?

But we are not familiar with life there, and there are poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders everywhere, and without the help of this Aragorn, we may not be able to come back! Zhuge Tieniu was said to be on his mind, and quickly explained in embarrassment.

"Well, since people have come from afar, let's bring them here!" Liu Hong gradually became angry.

He doesn't worry about these subordinates rubbing oil and water outside, as long as he can do things and can do things, he doesn't care, after all, it's not so easy to mix outside, all counting on that salary, who will work for you.

Liu Hong gradually instructed Zhang Weixian to quickly unload the rubber tree seeds, and sent a special person to transport them to the headquarters of Xishan Shanghe in Beijing, and then got off the ship, and the smell in the cabin was really not beautiful.

Seven or eight Molicans, wearing chicken feathers (or perhaps other bird feathers) and coarse cloth robes, walked over and bowed to Liu Hong under the instructions of Zhuge Tie Niu.

"You're Aragorn?" Liu Hong gradually stood in front of him, and the young man with the most feathers on his head said.

This person is about the same age as Liu Hong, burly, and his complexion is actually yellow.

Native American? Liu Hong's brows immediately furrowed.

He knew that the Indians belonged to the yellow race, and he also knew that the ancestors of the Indians had crossed the Bering Strait from the Far East, but he did not expect these people to run so far.

Aragorn naturally didn't understand what Liu Hongjian said, but Zhuge Tieniu was comparing and drawing on the side, so Aragorn not only understood, but also compared.

"Lord, he said that he is Aragorn, and he wants you to go to Melica, it is a good place, there is gold." Zhuge Tieniu acted as a translator.

Dare to love this guy Murica didn't run in vain, and actually learned sign language.

"Of course the king knows that there is gold there, and you ask him, are there a lot of Frangi people over there?" Liu Hong said gradually.

Zhuge Tie Niu then made another comparison, Aragorn looked at Liu Hongchuan, and seemed to be slightly disappointed, he thought that the ruler of the Ming Dynasty would be greedy for gold, but he didn't see it.

"Yes, Lord Wang, their hometown has been occupied by the Franciscans, and I have encountered a lot of Francosian's soldiers in that area, and I almost misfired!" Zhuge Iron Bull Road.

"You ask him, what exactly do you want to do when you come to Daming? Do you need help from Daming? ”

Liu Honggradually saw that this young Indian leader was not like an ordinary person, although he could not understand the language, but Liu Hongjian could see it by just looking at his eyes, and his gaze was very profound.

"He said that he had heard that there was a great country in the far east, and he just wanted to come and see it, and he wanted to learn from our Ming Dynasty." Zhuge Tieniu frowned.

Zhuge Tieniu knew that the prince didn't like the things of the foreign vassals to learn the things of the Ming Dynasty, and Xishan Shanghe had no other foreign vassals except for the original few Europa.

And Juan and Franz were only in contact with the development of warships and firearms, and did not let them be involved in other aspects, so Liu Honggradually also issued a strict order, without his order, the two were not allowed to go out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's easy to say, let them stay in Daming temporarily, Lao Zhang, you arrange a residence, food and accommodation must be all-inclusive, except for the important place of the Xishan Ordnance, allow them to go to the capital and nearby to observe." Liu Hongchuan directly took the lead in the British public announcement.

Liu Honggradually has an inexplicable affection for the Indians, probably because he is also of the yellow race.

And he didn't think that the Indian chieftain could learn any high technology, the people in this fertile land of America are really strange, their astronomical attainments are almost NO1 in the same period, and the Mayans (a branch of the Indians) even have many astronomical unsolved mysteries.

However, the Indians did not even invent the wheel until the Portuguese invaded.

This is really incredible, needless to say, the benefits of the wheel thing, the Indians' technological development is seriously deformed, and there are no horses in either South America or North America.

Not only horses, but also donkeys, and their only big four-limbed animal is the alpaca, commonly known as the grass mud horse.

"Back to the prince, he said thank you for your kindness, he still hopes that you will go to his hometown to see, there is really gold there." Zhuge Tieniu spoke a few words with Aragorn and replied.

Zhuge Tieniu was also very puzzled in his heart, with his impression, the prince should be very fond of money, why was he indifferent to Moliga's gold?

"Hmph, I think you want this king to help you get rid of the Franc people!" Liu Hong gradually snorted softly and stared at Aragorn Dao.
