Rubber is extremely versatile, and in later generations, it is used in almost every corner.

Many of Rong Xi's experiments could not be carried out, precisely because there was no rubber.

"Your Highness, have you brought back some of this tree species? The juice is also fine." Rong Xi asked quickly.

Wei Zhan shook his head and said, "It's really strange to see, but it's useless to bring it back."

Rong Xi was inevitably a little disappointed.

Guo Zigui couldn't help being a little annoyed, if he could bring it back, Lang Jun wouldn't be so sad.

"Is it useful?" Qin Ke asked.

Rong Xi restrained his emotions and said with a smile: "No problem, there will be a caravan going back and forth between Wei and Baisha in the future, and I can buy it with a lot of money."

"Why buy it?" Wei Zhanniu drank a cup of tea, and said proudly, "The little golden retriever intends to do business with the imperial court. How many trees do you want?"

Rong Xi laughed and said, "Your Highness is right."

Wei Zhan rested in Linxi for two days, and then rushed to Shengjing immediately.

In the hall, he took out the letter of credence written by Jin Jili himself, handed it to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Baisha Kingdom requests to establish diplomatic relations with Wei."

After seeing it, the emperor felt very happy and said, "Great kindness."

Soon, Baisha sent a mission to Wei, and the emperor hosted a banquet in the main hall.

During the meeting, the Baisha State envoy expressed the hope that a sea trade route could be established between the two countries.

The emperor did not immediately agree.

After the banquet, he called all his ministers and Wei Zhan to discuss.

"Your Majesty, the Baisha Kingdom is only a tiny place, why should you care so much?" Some old officials were puzzled.

King Shun was annoyed, "You have never experienced it yourself, and you only rely on hearsay to say that other countries are weak. Isn't your vision and mind smaller than a projectile?"

He has always been shapeless, the emperor has long been used to it, and he didn't feel conflicted, and what the old minister said really displeased him.

King Shun has already shown him that Baisha Country is rich in mineral resources, and if the two countries establish a maritime trade route, it will be beneficial to Wei State.

And Qin Ke also made a secret report, saying that there is a tree in Baisha country that is extremely valuable. If the two countries communicate with each other, this tree can be introduced and planted in southern Xinjiang. It will not only benefit the people in southern Xinjiang, but also provide raw materials for workshops. Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Although he doesn't know what the tree is useful for now, but he trusts Qin Ke and Rong Xi, and it is not difficult for the court to start a trade with Baisha Kingdom.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, all the ministers had no objection.

In the winter of the second year of Qingfeng, the Great Wei established diplomatic relations with the Baisha Kingdom and opened up a sea trade route.

At the same time, the emperor ordered the construction of the navy and the establishment of coastal defenses. This matter was supervised by Shun Wang Wei Zhan.

But Wei Zhan didn't want to, he asked the emperor to make a statement with a mournful face.

"Your Majesty, can the post of Governor of the Navy be replaced?"

The emperor was surprised. He managed to get rid of his prejudice and appointed Wei Zhan as the governor of the navy, but he refused.

"Why?"

Wei Zhan sighed: "I promised Little Golden Retriever to visit him often. If I become the governor of Na Laoshizi, wouldn't I have no time to go to Baisha Kingdom?"

In fact, he wanted to go by himself, and Jin Jili didn't invite him at all.

"Then tell me, besides you, who else in the court is qualified for the post of Governor of the Navy?"

In terms of status, qualifications, and ability, none other than Wei Zhan.

Wei Zhan said, "Qin Ke!"

The emperor smiled and said: "He is in charge of the military weapons supervision, and he has no skills."

Wei Zhan was in trouble, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, I can't be dishonest!"

The emperor thought for a moment, and suggested: "You can see if this is possible. You train the generals yourself, and then select outstanding ones to succeed you, and you will be free."

Although this method takes some time, it is feasible, and it is better than spending a lifetime!

Wei Zhan nodded in agreement.

In the spring of the third year of Qingfeng, the first batch of merchant ships from the Great Wei Dynasty went to Baisha Country and brought back some rubber tree seeds and rubber slurry.

Rubber production is scarce, and Rong Xi doesn't earn much. He leads the craftsmen in the workshop to study the characteristics of rubber, and guides the craftsmen to come up with many wonderful ideas.

He knows that rubber can make many things, but it is not his wish to directly propose how to do it.

What he knows and thinks are all the experience of later generations. He does not want to use his own experience to restrain the creative power of craftsmen.

In the summer of the third year of Qingfeng, a craftsman inadvertently discovered that rubber can erase pencil writing, and he couldn't help being very excited. However, rubber is perishable and must be processed before it can be stabilized.

Later, craftsmen discovered that rubber was waterproof, so they used rubber to make rain gear.

The maritime trade became more and more smooth and busy, and the import of rubber increased greatly. Rong Xifang began to develop tires.

Rubber tires are a major innovation in the transportation industry. If they are mass-produced, Dawei will become more prosperous.

It's just that natural rubber is really scarce, and Rong Xi is temporarily unable to produce synthetic rubber.

Tires, axles, valve ports, etc. are all delicate objects. For the craftsmen of Wei Dynasty, it is really difficult to make them, but no one wants to give up.

In the spring of the fifth year of Qingfeng, Shun Wang Wei Zhan resigned from his position as the governor of the navy, and led a group of loyal guards, who often went back and forth between the Great Wei Dynasty and Baisha Kingdom.

Due to the frequent traffic of merchant ships, pirates are extremely rampant between the two countries.

Wei Zhan was angry that he harmed the interests of the people of Wei and Baisha, so he took the initiative to arrest pirates and escort the caravan, which was highly respected by the caravans of the two countries.

Within a few years, the maritime trade route not only led to Baisha, but Wei also established diplomatic relations with other countries and conducted trade exchanges.

Because of the strong navy of the Wei Dynasty, other countries did not dare to invade.

Linxi Rong Zhai.

As soon as Rong Xi and Qin Ke returned, Liu He came to report: "Mr. Erlang, Mr. Erlang has sent a letter."

He handed the letter to Rong Xi and left respectfully.

After showing his belief, Rong Xi couldn't help laughing and said: "Second brother said, in a few years, the rubber tree will be able to harvest the glue, which is very good."

Now Dawei is completely different from what he saw when he came.

Familiar scenes can be seen everywhere.

"Lanzhi, how about going to Shengjing with me on my birthday?" Qin Ke asked softly as he held him in his arms.

Rong Xi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's an honor."

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the window sill, and a few strands pass through the glass windows, projecting on the ground inside the house, warm and quiet.

Convinced in the case, Rong Xi turned around and embraced Qin Ke.

"Sizhi, how do you think future generations will judge you and me?"

Qin Ke bowed his head and kissed him on the lips, "What does it matter to me how future generations judge?"

He doesn't care whether it's praise or derogation, praise or contempt.

Rong Xi laughed and said: "In the Wei Dynasty there was a god of war, whose surname was Qin and whose name was Ke, and his character was Sizhi. He was brave and good at fighting, beautiful and graceful, without a wife and family, and died alone."

If Qin Ke is recorded in the annals of history, his life may be shorter and more dry.

"It can be seen that history books will contain mistakes and omissions."

When Qin Ke heard this, he really felt uneasy. He knew that he and Rong Lan would grow old together, so how could he talk nonsense?

He thought for a moment, and said: "Why don't you use the method of your script to publicize the relationship between you and me."

Official history is not written, unofficial history will definitely be recorded.

"This method is very good!"

Rong Xi's eyebrows were curved, against the setting sun outside the window, he was so handsome that one's heart would be tempted.

Qin Ke raised his lips and smiled lightly, his eyes full of affection.

The white horse passes through the gap, and the sea changes.

Hundreds of years have passed by in the long river of history, leaving only a few auspicious feathers for future generations to look up to.

In the eyes of future generations, the celebration of prosperity and prosperity is an insurmountable and magnificent chapter.

And Rong Xi is the most dazzling existence in this chapter.

According to historical records, he never married in his life.

However, according to folk tales, he and Qin Ke, the God of War of the Wei Dynasty, have been together for decades and never leave each other.
