301 Tea Ceremony

Sometimes, time passes very slowly, and when you are in extreme unhappy, or suffer from illness and feel uncomfortable all over, it is like a year of life.

Sometimes, time passes quickly. When you are addicted to what you like, or indulged in love, time passes unknowingly.

When Zhuqi Waste was addicted to the development of cement, more than a month passed without realizing it. When he finally determined the cement formula and improved the machine, so that cement was basically mass-produced, good news also came from Kang District.

On that day, he was discussing the production of steel bars with Song Yingxing and others. Qi Jin suddenly ran over and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Tianquan's six-game call for help Gao Jitai reported that they have exchanged more than 5,000 war horses this month. Do you think he was ordering him to send someone to send these more than 5,000 war horses first?"

The tea-horse market has finally begun to work. There are more than 5,000 war horses a month, which seems to be a little small, but it is almost the same. It doesn’t take two years to replace 100,000 war horses, so it’s OK.

Zhu Qizhi nodded slightly and said, "Well, let him send someone to send him here first. There is no need to be the same as before, once a year. In that case, there will be 50,000 or 60,000 horses accumulated. The grass near Kangding City is probably not enough to eat so many war horses."

Qi Jin nodded and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, see, are these more than 5,000 war horses sent to Nanyang first to equip the Qi family army? At this moment, the Qi family army's chariots are almost complete, and the war horses are missing."

Hehe, people are always selfish, and Qi Jin has to take care of the Qi family army he trained with.

Of course, this is nothing. After all, Qi's army knows the application of combat vehicles the most.

Zhu Qizhuo nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, these more than 5,000 war horses will be sent to Nanyang to equipment the Qi family army first."

Qi Jin said with a little excitement and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, will Gao Jitai be sent to Yazhou or Meizhou?"

Yazhou or Meizhou?

Zhu Qizhu was stunned when he heard this.

He suddenly realized a problem, how could he transfer tens of thousands of white-rod soldiers back?

The cement has been made now, and it is only a matter of time before the construction of Kangding City and Anding City is completed. At that time, there is no need to waste elite troops like Baigang Soldiers in Kang District. Just send an ordinary army or even ten thousand chieftain soldiers to guard Litang City. After the construction of Kangding City and Anding City, it is definitely no problem to defend the troops of Dengzhangba and Gao Jitai.

所以,白杆兵迟早是要调回来的,问题是,这会儿白杆兵不但装备了战马还装备了战车,走水路肯定是不行的,因为车轮舸太小了,别说是运送战车了,运送战马都费劲.

In other words, tens of thousands of white-rod soldiers must have to go on land, and after Tianquan's six-game challenge to Si and Yazhou, return to Chengdu or Chongqing.

Tianquan Liuban Tingshi and Yazhou are covered with forests and mountains and steep mountains everywhere. Can chariots come?

He thought for a while, then asked: "How is the road in Tianquan Liuban Talent and Yazhou? Can you pass the chariot?"

Qi Jin was also stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he estimated: "It shouldn't be able to pass. There are mountains and forests over there, and there may be no roads in some places."

This is troublesome.

Zhu Qizhe frowned and said, "How can you transfer tens of thousands of white-rod soldiers back? They have equipped nearly two thousand tanks."

this!

Qi Jinyi frowned and pondered for a while, then said carefully: "How about letting them throw the chariot into Kangding?"

This is also a way, but Zhuqizi still hopes to repair the road from Anding City to Yazhou. In this way, it will be much more convenient whether it is to transport horses or send troops to support Kang District in the future.

He thought about it and then made a decision: "You go and prepare, let's go to Yazhou together to take a look. By the way, I inform Chen Shiqi and ask him to rush to Yazhou too. We may have to organize manpower to build roads."

Building a road is a good thing, and Qi Jin didn't say anything else. He immediately bowed and went back to go.

A few days later, Zhu Qizhuo and Qi Jin arrived at Yazhou City by boat. At this time, Governor Chen Shiqi had been waiting on the dock with Yazhou Magistrate for a long time.

After the two sides met, Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help asking: "Bongfu, how is the official tea farm in Bashu? Have you reported it in various places?"

Chen Shiqi heard this and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the emperor, the official tea farms in Bashu are too abandoned. Due to the closure of tea and horse markets, many official tea farms have cut off their livelihoods, and no one takes care of the tea trees. Over the past few dozens or hundreds of years, they have grown in a mess. Only a few tea farms have changed to high-quality tea. However, the production is only 300,000 kilograms per mu, and tens of thousands of mu is only 300,000 kilograms. Now the official tea farm can still produce about 200,000 kilograms, and the total is less than 1 million kilograms. However, the tea bricks required by the nomadic tribes can be made of medium and low-quality tea. In this way, one mu can produce about 200 kilograms, and the annual output should be about 4 million kilograms. The 10 million kilograms of tea required by the emperor should be able to produce within two or three years."

Two or three years, it is actually almost the same, because it takes time to trade tea and horses in Kangding to exchange war horses. It takes about two years to exchange 100,000 war horses. If the tea leaves are not enough during this period, it is not a problem to transfer one or two million kilograms from Fujian, Zhejiang and Nanzhili.

However, Zhuqiu's vision is not so narrow-minded. Tea bricks are not only needed by the nomadic tribes in Kang District, but also many countries in Europe, including Nanyang and West Asia, and the demand is not low. Even if the production of Bashu tea bricks reaches its peak of 30 million kilograms, it is estimated that they will not have to worry about sales.

He thought for a while, and then pondered: "Tea trees can basically survive for hundreds or even thousands of years under suitable climate. Although tea trees that only produce 10 to 40 or 50 years are the most suitable, the old tea trees are not completely abandoned. Many tea trees will be renewed naturally and revitalized. Some of them will grow new branches after cutting off old branches. You can send experienced old tea farmers to various abandoned tea farms. In short, even if the official tea farm has been abandoned for dozens or hundreds of years, they cannot give up. If it really doesn't work, they can still order people to dig out old trees and replant tea seedlings. Anyway, the tea trees will produce after four or five years, and will enter a high-yield period after growing for more than ten years. We must operate the official tea farm well and strive to restore the maximum output of 20 million kilograms or even 30 million kilograms within ten years."

Chen Shiqi was stunned when he heard this.

He thought he had already understood the way of tea farms and tea production, but he never thought that the emperor knew more than him, and he didn't know much about what was naturally renewed, what was cut off old branches and rejuvenated with new branches!

He was stunned for a while, and then he said sincerely: "The emperor is wise and the subordinate is educated."

What's this? I graduated from Agricultural University. If the tea tree planting department was not a bit biased, I didn't look at it much. I could easily increase the tea production in Bashu to 40 to 50 million kilograms. Do you believe it?

Zhu Qizhuo shook his head slightly and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that I don't know much about the way to plant tea trees. What a pity, what a pity."
Chapter completed!
