Chapter 343: A Rich Country and a Strong Army in a Corner of Peace
In fact, it's not that Zhuge Prison Niu didn't think about it, but Mobei is a poor area, and there is nothing on the ground except for yellow sand and Suosuo grass, and their poverty can be imagined, but Xiao Qiyu and Chunli unanimously believe that "there is no way to be endless".
After they have dealt with the food, they will deal with the economy.
Xiao Qiyu came and went in a hurry, and after the grain was delivered, he went to Nanzhan Country non-stop. Although it has entered the small cold, the succession of the season has not affected the mountains and rivers of Nanzhan Country at all, how was it before, and how is it now, the small bridge and flowing water, the moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River.
Only three days after leaving, Xiao Qiyu has been thinking about Chunli like crazy, and Ji Chunli, knowing that Xiao Qiyu is returning today, has been waiting for a long time near the pass to see through the autumn water, seeing the convoy arrive, Chunli cheered and rushed over, Xiao Qiyu saw Ji Chunli's big action so frightened that his face changed, and he hugged Ji Chunli horizontally.
"Watch out for the kids, watch out for the kids." As an expectant father, Xiao Qiyu seems to be more worried about the little life in Chunli's belly that has not yet broken the shell.
Ji Chunli quieted down, kept looking at Xiao Qiyu, and found that Xiao Qiyu was dusty, and couldn't help but blame: "Just be careful on the road, what are you doing running so fast?" ”
"Knowing that Chunli is waiting for Brother Yu, Brother Yu is a little faster." Xiao Qiyu's chick pecked rice and kissed Ji Chunli on the mouth, Chunli smiled, "Okay, don't do this, go see the emperor." ”
The two went to the palace and saw Xiao Zimiao, Xiao Zimiao pretended to be angry, "Okay, okay, you have opened twelve workshops in one go, which is really a big business." ”
Ji Chunli couldn't tell if Xiao Zimiao was really angry, looking at Xiao Zimiao's appearance, he was busy sifting chaff and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this your permission for your subordinates to do business?" Now that business is blooming everywhere, you are angry again, and it can be seen that you want a piece of the pie. ”
"I am now stationed in the army, and you also know that I want to take down the Dongsheng Kingdom, and I need silver." Xiao Zimiao: This is already "wanting".
In the face of Xiao Zimiao's take-it-or-leave-it, Chunli sneered, "The emperor can rest assured, Chunqin will immediately give the emperor five or five points, in fact, not only the Beiju Kingdom, the Xiniu Country and the rest of the grassland tribes, the desert clans all need grain and grass, their big desert or Gobi, or the prairie cannot grow crops, if we do such a business, won't we make a lot of money in the future?" ”
"Oh, then I'll be five or a half with you." Xiao Zimiao doesn't know how to do business, and he also understands that he will inevitably eat a landslide in the long run, and it is not good for him to watch Nan Zhanguo be destroyed in his own hands.
From his subordinates, Xiao Zimiao also learned that Ji Chunli is indeed a financial giant, and Xiao Qiyu, these two are on equal footing, one is powerful, and the other is much more powerful than the other. Because of this thought, Xiao Zimiao hoped to help Chunli.
With the emperor's support and approval, Chunli's side is even more unimpeded. Chunli made money, and immediately "sat on the ground to share the spoils" with the emperor, Xiao Zimiao saw that Ji Chunli was so wealthy, and naturally she was happy.
A few days later, Ji Chunli opened a pharmacy, and Bai Ze was asked to take care of the pharmacy, and the people in the Holy Doctor Valley were idle, and there was a group training of self-sacrifice, and everyone moved to the nest, but within a few days, Nan Zhanguo's medical hall had been taken by them.
But at this moment, Bai Ze is still worried, most of the copies of the coveted Tianjin Kui are still in the hands of Zhuge Ying, Bai Ze is looking for the coveted Tianjin Kui while doing business, Chunli is willing to help, but the search for dry intestines can only write more than half silently, that's it, Bai Ze is also grateful.
On this day, Chunli said goodbye and was ready to go to Beiju with Xiao Qiyu to transport grain and grass for thousands of miles, in fact, Ji Chunli was transporting grain on the surface, and in fact, he also knew that although he had changed the dilemma of lack of food and clothing in Beiju country, it was still not a way in the long run.
Need to change expedient measures into long-term solutions, this is to consider the wisdom of people, Xiao Qiyu and Chunli went to Beiju Kingdom, Zhuge Prison Niu saw that they arrived, complacent, "Now the hoarded grain has been edible for three and five years, I am relieved." ”
"But in the end, there will be no more ways to eat, by the way, what do you have in the desert?" What can be in the desert? The country is located in a safe corner of the country, bordered by the endless desert on one side, the lackluster Gobi Desert on the other, and the endless sand dunes on the other.
In the desert, there are few people, and even the animals are incredibly few, except for the occasional bison, fire fox, wild camel and monitor lizard in the poplar forest, the rest of the animals are not seen.
As for the vegetation, there don't seem to be any very special crops except for poplar forests and saxon grass. Chunli and Xiao Qiyu rode their horses for a day, and Ji Chunli found an oasis in it, in which there were cistanche and licorice, and licorice was fine, but cistanche was a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine in Dijing.
Chunli was overjoyed, and on the second day, he let people dig it, and reprinted twenty taels of carriages, and there were countless in the distance, "It just so happens that Bai Ze is doing this business, and we have one more way to make money." ”
Continuing to walk forward, Chunli saw that there was a black liquid gushing out of the ground, the liquid was viscous and fishy, and asked Zhuge Prison Cow, but the Prison Cow couldn't say why, the Tao was the slime that became after the decay of animal corpses and plants under the stratum for hundreds of millions of years, Chunli only felt strange and asked the use, but Zhuge Prison Cow rolled his eyes, "What can this be used for." ”
At first, Chunli thought that Zhuge Prison Cow was "wise and foolish", but as time went by, Chunli recognized the Prison Cow, and his old man belonged to a person who didn't care about himself and didn't care about himself, and he didn't care much about these "trivial" things.
But in Ji Chunli's opinion, "trivial" is not a trivial matter, Chunli and Zhuge Prison Niu couldn't discuss the ugliness, so they had no choice but to find a way to collect some black grease back, and found that the black grease could be used as fuel and lasted, Xiao Qiyu smiled: "Try to make money by loading it in a wooden barrel and transporting it to Nanzhan Kingdom?" ”
"Give it a try, it's empty anyway." Because the appointed time was approaching, Ji Chunli was not too wasteful here, so he filled a lot of black grease in a wooden barrel and went to Nanzhan Kingdom.
Nanzhan is in the south and belongs to the basin. The rain is abundant all year round, the plant life is thriving, the fuel for people's life is wood and coal, and the coal has to be transported to Dongsheng Country a hundred miles away, because the coal is bulky and the quantity of a transportation is limited, so the poor people are looking forward to the coal.
In other words, coal was something that the royal family and the powerful had a monopoly on.
As for the firewood, due to the restrictions of the regional environment, the firewood is wet and the dehydration effect is not good, so it is a little smoky, so Chunli and their black grease were quickly sold, Chunli knows the truth of "upward and downward effect", and first promoted it in the imperial court, Xiao Zimiao is a northerner, and he is most afraid of cold.
Now there is still a month before the New Year, the frail and sickly Xiao Zimiao has entered the state of cat winter in advance, the hand stove and the soup woman, the brazier and the fire dragon have both, as soon as he enters Xiao Zimiao's house, he suddenly feels a wave of dryness rising, plus Xiao Zimiao likes to be cranky, nervous and anxious, and the illness is even more.
Chunli suggested replacing some of the fuel, at first Xiao Zimiao thought that Ji Chunli was going to harm himself, where did he know this use, but he found that the black oil burned at a high temperature and continued, and he suddenly felt overjoyed and evacuated a lot of fire dragons.
The emperor was happy, and the civil and military officials also rushed to follow suit, so it came and went, and it was soon popularized, Xiao Zimiao was ingenious, and he also gave it a name, called "Divine Fire Oil".
As a result, the inexhaustible Shenhuo oil quickly opened up sales, and it became the hottest baby before the beginning of spring.
Chunli still transports grain to the northern country, but now there is no need to be too anxious, and the top priority is to mention the economic problems of the northern country.
Chunli and Xiao Qiyu also set up a business in Beiju Kingdom, where ordinary people could collect Shenhuo oil and Chinese herbs such as cistanche and licorice to sell, and the imperial court managed them in a unified manner. As a result, the people of the Northern Club who were closed off from the country were shocked, and it turned out that the black oil that was immediately available was three times the treasure of Lishi.
Seeing that the people of Beiju have been proud of the spring breeze, Chunli is also happy.
Ji Chunli has unconsciously solved the complex and difficult economic problems of Beiju country, and Chunli has also made field investigations and found that Beiju's domestic herbs and black oil are indeed inexhaustible.
