The Workshop City covers a huge area and now uses less than a tenth of its land.

However, these lands were obtained in exchange for the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, and the cost was very low, so Li Kuan was not in a hurry at all.

Just near the Kin Tai Iron Workshop, there is a workshop that was built last year, and it has been empty all along.

In the past few days, people have been coming in and out, and suddenly it has become lively.

"Master, I see that the carriage of the Jintai porcelain workshop has already transported several wagons of goods here, is Steward Wang going to turn this workshop into a warehouse? No, the porcelain workshop has its own warehouse, so there is no need to ship it here. ”

Ah Niu looked at the nameless workshop not far away with a curious face, chatting with his master.

The palace of the king of Chu will build a new workshop every three or five times, and there are many well-built buildings in the workshop city, all of which are empty there.

But suddenly one day, it was used.

This is also the case with the workshop in front of me, which seems to have changed a lot in just a few days.

"I see that many of the people who enter and leave this workshop are students of Guanshishan Academy, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Chu must have invented something new."

Jin Tai now has a relatively deep understanding of things related to the Chu Palace.

Basically, you can guess at a glance that the nearby workshop must be producing something that you have not seen before, or even heard of.

"Master, you should be right, but what makes people feel strange is that a lot of fruit seems to have been transported today. The number of craftsmen in this workshop should not be very large, and they actually have to eat so many fruits, and the treatment of this workshop in the Chu Wangfu is too good. ”

The relationship between Ah Niu and Mrs. Jin is not that of ordinary helpers and employers, so if this kind of taboo is a bit taboo, Mrs. Jin will not take it too seriously.

"Things related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu cannot be taken for granted. These fruits are not necessarily for the artisans. Didn't you say that the porcelain workshop transported several wagons of porcelain inside? Maybe it's used to hold fruit. ”

Mrs. Kim didn't expect that her casual guess would be basically close to the truth.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you guess right or wrong.

This is just the boredom of the master and apprentice gossiping there.

……

"Shopkeeper Wang, the first batch of trial production cans has come out, and it has not broken for two days, it should be a success."

Li Geng personally followed up on the matter of the canning workshop, and he was relieved to see that the production line had started.

Today, he and Wang Fugui were in the laboratory to check the quality of the first batch of canned food in the canning workshop.

The results are quite gratifying.

"Well, I heard that your 'Gewu Academy' is going to go to Australia next month?"

Wang Fugui was not surprised by the success of the canning workshop.

For so many years, he has become accustomed to the feeling that everything Li Kuan commanded can be successfully completed.

"Yes, in addition to the 'Gewu Academy', there are four other sea ships that will go to sea with us this time, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu has personally given these ships very meaningful names."

When Li Geng said this, the expression on his face seemed a little embarrassed.

"I know, 'arithmetic star Chen Wumei', 'Gewu master Chen Dali', 'Medical Holy Hand Qibi Duoduo' and 'Grain Harvest Yao Yuan'."

Li Kuan attaches so much importance to the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award, and Wang Fugui is really a little surprised.

Not to mention the indiscriminate bombardment of various newspapers in Chang'an City some time ago, not to mention the bonus of 10,000 yuan per person, just naming the sea ship after an individual, this meaning is very different, and leaving a name in history is almost a sure thing.

When Li Kuan announced this decision, Wang Fugui didn't dare to believe it.

Not to mention Chen Wumei.

However, this incentive effect is also very good, Wang Fugui heard that Chen Dali and other winners, whether it is teaching their own skills or doing experiments in the laboratory, are very dedicated, it is simply a person to use it for several people.

"This time, we are ready to start the construction of Yongping Port, completely open up the trade route from Puluozhong to Yongping Port, and let more Tang people turn their attention to Australia."

Although Li Geng was a little worried about whether the gold mine he discovered would cause disputes due to the entry of other personnel, Australia was too big.

Li Kuan has made it very clear that he wants to encourage everyone to go to Yongping Port in the same way as he encourages everyone to go to Puluozhong, and then rely on their abilities to explore and hunt for treasures in Australia.

Basically, whoever finds these things on overseas land belongs to whomever they found.

As long as you return to Datang, you can pay the city tax normally.

"In that case, we'll have to produce a little more canned food."

"yes, the more the merrier, that sepsis is terrible. The point is that in the middle of the ocean, this situation can easily affect morale. ”

"But there is a problem, we are making canned fruit now, and the demand for fruit is very high. Every day, people are arranged to go to various shops in the West Market to buy all kinds of fruits, which makes the production efficiency very low. It would be nice to be able to find a vendor who can supply a large amount of fruit. ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, this shouldn't be difficult, right? Aren't there many fruit shops in the eastern and western cities? ”

"Yes, there is, but the demand for our canning workshop is very large, and they may not be able to meet the requirements; Besides, these vendors also buy fruit from farmers, so wouldn't it be better if we could buy it directly from farmers? ”

Wang Fugui himself is a businessman, so he is naturally very aware of the price changes after the layers of commercial trade.

To put it mildly, if the fruits purchased in the past few days can be purchased directly from farmers, the price can be at least half cheaper.

Although this money is actually not much, Wang Fugui just can't see that other merchants have earned money from the Chu Palace.

"Wang ...... Steward Wang, is it okay to talk about fruits, peaches? ”

At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded from the side.

"Of course, half of our canned food is canned peaches."

Although Wang Fugui felt that the student in front of him was a little familiar, he didn't know him.

"Then I might have a way to find a large number of peaches and buy them directly from the farmers."

"Hong Yi, what can you do?"

Li Geng obviously knew the student in front of him, but he knew that Hong Yi was the son of a craftsman in Chang'an City, and he couldn't understand where he found the peaches.

"There is a student named Shui Jun in our dormitory, his hometown is Peach Village, not far from Chang'an City, and the most famous thing in their village is Shui Peach, which has sold very well in the West Market in recent years.

I heard that a large number of peach trees have been planted in Peach Village and surrounding villages in recent years, and the yield of peaches is very good this year, and they are worried about what to do. If the canning workshop arranges for someone to pick peaches, they can definitely buy them back at a relatively affordable price. ”

Shui Jun has often been alone in a daze these days, sighing from time to time, and Hong Yi, as a friend, naturally sees it in his eyes.

After a little inquiry, he knew the reason, but he didn't have a solution.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise in the laboratory today.

"So coincidentally?"

Wang Fugui and Li Geng glanced at each other.

It's a sleepy pillow.

Canning factories need a stable source of fruits, and if the situation in Peach Village is the same as Hong Yi said, it is very much in line with the needs of canning factories.

Of course, fruit is a seasonal product, and it is certainly not enough for a canning workshop to rely on Peach Village.

But, at least during the peach harvest season, it's fine.

"I'll go and call Shui Jun over now, and ask him to explain it to Shopkeeper Wang and Li Langjun in person."

After Hong Yi finished speaking, he pulled his legs and ran out, he wanted to tell Shui Jun the news immediately.

……

"Shui Jun, there are no classes this morning, why don't we go to the library pavilion?"

The dormitory area of Gewu students is much higher than that of the dormitories of later universities.

At first glance, it looks like the yard of a large family.

Although the rooms inside are basically shared by four people, they are equipped with independent bathrooms, and this alone makes the luxury of the room rise by countless notches.

"I'm not in the mood today, so I'm not going."

Shui Jun leaned listlessly on the head of the bed, thinking about what to do.

The family of five can live a comfortable life today, relying on the peaches produced in the peach orchard in Peach Village.

If this year is really like what Aya said, then let alone making money, maybe you will have to lose the money you earned last year.

Don't look at the Shui family, they have also bought a yard in Chang'an City now, but in fact, the family does not have much spare money.

Shui Jun was afraid that after the family had changed, he would not be able to continue his studies at Guanshishan Academy.

There's no way to accept it.

He has thoroughly fallen in love with Guanshishan Academy.

Although he is not as smart as many students, he is not disliked because of his average grades because he is usually more diligent.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't I go with you to Xu to join the army, and see if our canteen can purchase a batch of peaches, and give a peach to the students and teachers every day, so that you can basically solve the problem of your peach orchard, right?"

Song Yingang saw his roommate's appearance and couldn't help but put forward his own suggestions.

"No, I can't do that. Besides, this method can take over my family's problems at most, and I have many relatives who are also facing the same situation, and they can't solve them all. ”

Shui Jun sighed, completely clueless in his head.

Aya came to find herself, hoping that she could find a market for peaches through her classmates or teachings.

But Shui Jun didn't want his classmates to be full of copper smell, and he didn't have a very clear goal, so there was no movement.

"Shui Jun!"

"Shui Jun!"

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

As soon as Hong Yi arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he shouted loudly.

"Lao Hong, we're here!"

Song Yingang didn't know what Hong Yi was doing in a hurry to find Shuijun, but listening to the voice didn't seem to be a bad thing.

"Quick! Come with me! ”

After Hong Yi saw Shui Jun, he took his hand and wanted to go out without saying a word.

"Dry ...... Do? ”

Shui Jun was a little unaccustomed to his hand being held by a man.

"What else can you do, your peaches have a place to go, the peaches in your entire village have a place to go, and even the peaches in your surrounding villages have all been bought!"

"Huh? Yes! ”

The water army jumped up from the bed excitedly.

However, he was so happy and sad that his head hit the board of the top bunk.

In the dormitory of Guanshishan Academy, Li Kuan directly referred to the shelf beds of later generations, basically two shelf beds were placed in each room, living four people, and some places were left next to the tables.

"I'll go! Up a bag!"

Song Yingang touched Shui Jun's head with his hand.

Although there was hair in the way, who made him overexcited and hit so hard.

These beds are made of solid wood.

"Don't let me go, I'll go, learn from His Royal Highness the King of Chu all day long, this is the exclusive term of the prince."

"Okay, okay, you guys got the point wrong, okay? Why don't you hurry up and go to the laboratory with me, and directly finalize the matter of purchasing peaches with Shopkeeper Wang. ”

Hong Yi looked at Song Yingang and Shui Jun speechlessly.

"Why does Shopkeeper Wang want to buy so many peaches? I haven't heard that there is a fruit shop in the Chu Wangfu recently. ”

Shui Jun talked while following Hong Yi outside.

"It doesn't matter if this fruit shop is canned, it is a canning workshop that uses fruits, and it uses a lot of fruits." Isn't it going to sea, and a large amount of canned fruit will be needed at that time, and now the shopkeeper Wang is having a headache about where to buy a large amount of fruit. It just so happened that I was also helping with experiments in the laboratory, so of course I recommended the peaches from your village. ”

Hong Yi quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"So, this canning workshop needs a lot of fruit not only now, but always in the future?"

Although Shui Jun doesn't know exactly what the canning workshop does, as long as he knows that there is a lot of fruit in demand there, and it is needed every year, it is enough.

"Of course, you need a lot of fruits and vegetables all year round, and I heard that after these things are canned, they will not spoil for a year, and they are the most suitable for sailing and eating. In the future, the demand for this canned food will only increase, and your family will be developed. ”

"Brother Hong, after the meeting is over, I'll do the east, let's go to Ajinomoto to open a meat, and also try the deliciousness of the top restaurant in Chang'an City."

Shui Jun is not a stingy person, if he really solves the problem of selling peaches today, let alone go to Ajinomoto to eat a meal, or eat it for a month...... Well, he may not be able to afford to eat for a month, but he can accept a week's meal.

"Hehe, then you just wait to break the bank."

Hong Yi was not polite to Shui Jun.

The four people in the dormitory, what is the situation in everyone's family, what is their personality, after nearly two years of getting along, they have also figured out each other.

Although the Shui family is not a wealthy family, as long as there is no problem with the sales of peaches, Shangwei no vegetarian can still afford to eat a few meals.
