Erya, they carried things full of horses and brought them into the village, not to mention the happy children, even the official who was unhappy with them before, also smiled happily and squinted. Circling around a dozen horses, helping this one to carry the blanket on the horse's back, and helping the other to carry the blanket for a while, they were busier than the village chief.
And Wang Xiaolong looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law with a team of horses full of things, and his eyes lit up. The right fist slammed the left palm and shouted: "There is!" β
Everyone talking, clenching their fists, making waves, and carrying their coats, all paused their movements, and looked at Lord Wang, who seemed to be about to jump in surprise.
"With a horse team! You can use a team of horses to bring things out of the mountains and things from outside the mountains to bring in. The little dragon shouted loudly.
Others may still be thinking about whether it will work, but Erya understands as soon as she hears it, the horse team in her brother's mouth is the horse gang that has been prevalent in her world for centuries, and it is the backbone of the entire southwest economy. The significance of their existence is no less than that of the Cao Gang in the Central Plains, but their righteousness and integrity are far higher than the Cao Gang's domineering and arrogance.
Perhaps the caravan belongs to a non-governmental organization, forcing them to pay more attention to rules and morality, and 'not afraid of evil, not to be bullied by the weak.' When encountering danger, you should ring the gong to warn the horse team coming from the opposite or behind, and if you encounter someone calling for help, you must come forward to rescue you. They stress credibility and keep promises externally, and are tolerant, friendly, and pay attention to equal cooperation with each turnip and one pit. This method was the whim of the little dragon. It's really the best fit for the current traffic situation in the area. At present, it is indeed difficult to build a spacious road that can walk a carriage in such a mountain, anyway, Erya feels that his own family does not have the technology and materials to do it (such a mountain road is not suitable for cement).
"Hengtai! This will work. Although it is a little slower, it is the best way to circulate goods in these places at present. Erya was the first to make a voice of approval, because it was not good to call Xiaolong's name directly in front of outsiders, so he followed others to call him Hengtai.
Then there was Xiaohu, and then, the officials accompanying Xiaolong also happily agreed: "This method is very good!" That's a great way! β
All the things on the horse's back were unloaded, and Xiaolong was not in a hurry to distribute them to everyone. It's a lot of things that I have gathered from the mountains. Take them out one by one and ask your sister-in-law to identify them and see which ones can be sold for money. Which ones are useless.
There are many medicinal materials such as banlan root, Tian Qi, gastrodia, etc., although Erya can't name each of them, but she knows that most of these are rare medicinal materials.
"A lot of these are medicinal herbs, some of which I don't recognize. However, it does not mean that it is not a medicinal herb. It's best to bring them all back and let Zhao's shopkeeper take a look, so as not to miss the precious medicinal materials by my half bottle of vinegar. β
Er Ya looked at the musk, deer antler, bear bile, and pangolin that Xiaolong had spent money to buy, which were very precious and rare medicinal materials.
There are also shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, tea mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, white fungus, fungus and other high-quality mushroom mountain goods, from these things can be seen that there are many good things in this mountain, but because of the inconvenient transportation, all of them have become waste that no one wants.
"Behold! With these alone, there is enough food and clothing for the people in this village. Also, when I first came over, I saw some tea trees that were better than our family's tea trees. I'm thinking of opening a big tea garden here. With us taking the lead in making tea, it is estimated that these mountain people will follow suit. That way, their days will be better. Oh! By the way, you can go back and ask the Emperor if he wants to open a tea garden here! β
Xiaolong hesitated and replied, "I'd better ask the new emperor!" With the money in the Emperor's hand, I plan to help him form dozens of horse teams, specially go to the mountains here, bring up the things under the mountain, and then bring the mountain goods down the mountain. β
Erya immediately stopped: "This is not appropriate! The horse team is best organized by the people, and if the royal horse team does something to bully the market, even the government can't manage it. That's not to help these mountain people get rich, but to exploit them and make it more and more unbearable. β
"This! If that's the case, then how can the Emperor Taishang say that he wants to help these mountain people? β
"How can I help? The best way to do this is to invest in this place, which I just mentioned, and then hire people here to work so that they can earn money to buy food. The best investment here is tea plantation and mushroom cultivation. However, I only plan to make fermented tea here and sell it overseas. Our ocean business has already started, don't you think it's a pity not to make fermented tea?! β
Xiaolong thought for a while and nodded: "I understand, the new emperor can also invest, and the emperor can also invest." The place here is so big, there are too many places where you can build a tea garden, and there is no conflict between the emperor and the new emperor. β
With the direction of the main economy and the determination of feasible means of transportation, Xiaolong feels that the task of this trip is basically completed, and everyone can go back. As for the other mountain villages, as long as the horse team arrives there, they can tell them the mountain goods that can be bought and sold, and there is no need for Xiaolong to run over in person.
However, in order to let a few children live a day of wild vegetables in the mountains, Xiaolong did not rush to go back immediately, but accompanied the children for another four or five days.
The children in the mountains are all skinny, and they are curious and reserved when they see these white and fat (in their eyes, they are white fat, but in fact, these children are not fat). The youngest grandson of the village chief's family, who knew curiosity but did not know restraint, saw these unknown brothers and sisters, and made a tail behind their buttocks in a strange way.
"Brother, brother! Meat for you! β
Wen Fan watched his little brother run over with his hands holding chicken legs, and suddenly jumped away in fright: "Don't come here!" Stay back! If you get oil on my clothes, it'll spoil, and my mother will spank me. β
Wen Jin, who was playing with the long and bright tail hair of the pheasant and pretending to be the generalissimo in the play, saw the child, and ran towards him with a chicken leg, and hurriedly pointed the pheasant's tail hair straight at the child: "Don't come!" Don't come! The little grandson of the village chief's family was aggrieved, and turned his head to look at his brother with tears in his eyes. It seems to be asking: why don't good-looking brothers eat meat?
The children of the village chief's family have eaten a lot of meat with Xiaolong and his guards every day during this time, and they are not as hungry for meat as they were at the beginning. Therefore, when the youngest brother was seen running around with chicken legs, no one was greedy. On the contrary, because Wen Fan and Wen Jin were scared by their little brothers, they were happy to smile baretoothily.
The polished rice and white flour on horseback were divided into many small portions and given to some elderly and young children in the village. Originally, Master Kong Er and a few other adults thought that the children of the Wang family would not be able to endure this hardship, but they all persisted for five days, without crying or making trouble. Their opinion of Lord Wang suddenly rose to another level. There is no way, looking at the adult's prima from the child's upbringing, this is a common reaction that everyone will have.
It's a five-day period. Erya, Xiaohu and Xiaolong were not idle, they asked the village chief to take the hillside and direction to investigate, and Erya finally selected a place of about 500 acres in the direction of the mountainside and facing east and decided to make a tea garden. Xiaolong chose a thousand acres of land on the west side of the mountain and prepared it for the new emperor. If the new emperor doesn't like it, he doesn't want it. And he kept it for himself.
Xiaohu saw that his younger brother didn't seem to have a place to choose a tea garden for the emperor, and he was uneasy, and said directly to his younger brother: "You helped the new emperor choose the land, but you didn't choose it for the emperor, this difference is a little too obvious." I don't think it's good! β
"Brother! Rest assured, how could I have made such an obvious mistake. Look at the mountain across the street! β
Xiaohu followed his brother's direction and looked over, and the opposite mountain didn't look far away. This is not actually another mountain, it can only be regarded as different peaks of the same mountain. The two peaks are connected by a paddy field made of a col not far from the village. After this col, you can go to the opposite hill.
"Do you think it's better over here, or is it not as good as this side?"
Xiaolong paused. He replied: "The other things on the opposite side of the mountain are not growing very well, but there are a lot of wild tea trees, one by one, which are almost catching up with our tea garden." I originally meant to keep it for my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law had already chosen the land to build the tea garden, and I was optimistic about the land in the west, so I thought about leaving this piece to the emperor. He wants to build big and small, and he can do it at will. β
Listening to his brother's arrangement, Xiaohu felt very proper, so he nodded appreciatively: "Your arrangement is very good!" However, it is better to let the few adults who come with you also choose a piece of land to make a tea garden, so that they will not work in vain. β
"Thank you brother for your concern, they and Uncle Kong, I have already taken it into consideration. They themselves also want to invest in a tea plantation here, but now is not the time, we have to go back and give an account of the tasks assigned to us by the Emperor and the new emperor. Then arrange for trustworthy people to come over with money and go to several other mountain villages where the emperor has walked to invest in tea plantations, with the ultimate goal of bringing the life of the mountain people there. In this way, we can not only complete the things that the Emperor Taishang told us to do, but also allow these officials to benefit and get their names in it. If you rush to reap the benefits of your own land now, you will be easily disgusted by the Emperor Taishang and the new emperor. β
After listening to my brother's explanation, I realized how wrong I was in what I said just now. Xiaohu coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother doesn't use his brain to think about things, and he is impatient, and he often gets things wrong." You don't have to listen to your brother's nonsense in the future! β
"Brother is humble!" Xiaolong teased his brother with a laughing taste, intending to dispel his brother's embarrassment just now, Xiaohu blushed and pretended to blame his younger brother: "It's not big, it's not small!" β
"I don't have one!" Xiaolong always felt that he was still a child who had not grown up in front of his brother, and he wanted to pretend to be small at every turn. Xiaohu still eats him so sizeless, and his heart immediately softens like a girl.
The children of the Wang family followed the children in the mountains, climbed trees and drilled thorns, and every day they had to tear their clothes, and their hands and faces were full of tree thorns and bloody marks. Erya has to go up the mountain every day, and when she comes back at night, she has to be busy serving them with medicine and mending clothes, and she is tired and angry.
"You're all pigs, huh? How thick is this skin, and I don't know how painful it hurts to be scratched one after another every day? β
Wen Jin saw that the eldest lady was angry, a little timid, and muttered quietly: "It hurts!" Big girl, I know it hurts! β
"You know it hurts, and you still drill the thorn dragon every day? Silly? β
"They all dare to drill, my brother said that our Wang family men can't make them look flat!"
What kind of IQ is this? Erya rolled her eyes and looked at Wen Zhong who was standing on the side, and asked, "Is it this way that our Wang family relies on this method of doing stupid things to gain prestige?" β
Wen Zhong seemed to realize that he had made a fool, and just now he was still smug and held his face high, but he suddenly drooped down, and he lowered his head for a long time without raising it.
