What Li Yuanjia wanted to do was to make a start for the tea trade of the Central Plains Dynasty...... In fact, it can't be regarded as the beginning, because in fact, the Han people have begun to sell tea in recent years, but the amount is pitiful, and most people also regard it as a luxury from the Central Plains Dynasty, and do not realize its importance to the body.

Therefore, what Li Yuanjia has to do is to publish these "secrets", and then let the tea trade enter the stage of history earlier.

The satisfaction of making history is the most important thing.

If he really wanted to make money, he would not have handed over the spirits and tea to a Turkic merchant, and would have asked Han Lucheng to organize a caravan of his own. With his name as the king of Han, not to mention that there is something that no one dares to hack him in the prairie, at least in the territory of Datang, Li Yuanjia believes that no one has the courage to do this!

Wouldn't that make more money?

Don't look at the price Li Yuanjia gave to the Turkic merchants so black, but if he handed over to Bahari in the middle, he would make at least two or three times as much!

Otherwise, the road from Chang'an to the northern prairie will take at least two months along the way, and who will do it if the profit is low?

So from the very beginning, Li Yuanjia never thought about making money from tea.

At least he didn't plan to make money for a long time, or as Han Lucheng thought, he simply tried to monopolize Datang's foreign tea trade - don't doubt the energy of a Tang prince, if Li Yuanjia really opened up, maybe he could really do it!

The principle of starting first is the same in any era.

Looking at Han Lucheng's unwilling look, Li Yuanjia shook his head and said lightly: "Okay, so be it." You tell that Bahari that he will give him as much as he wants, whether it is liquor or tea, but this time...... No credit! ”

"Yes, King!"

After taking a deep breath, Han Lucheng immediately nodded seriously.

Although the king's attitude made him a little disappointed, as a qualified housekeeper who was educated by his father since childhood, Han Lucheng immediately adjusted his mentality.

That Turkic fat man, he really can't be cheaper this time!

Until now, Han Lucheng still clearly remembers the embarrassment on the other party's face when he met Bahari last year. Who would have thought that after just one winter, spirits and tea, which were considered a nuisance by Turkic merchants last year, would turn into fragrant treats? Not only did I ask for 2,000 catties of tea and 200 jars of spirits, but I spent more than 20,000 yuan in one go, and even plan to ask for more next year?

Anyway, when he withdrew from the king, Han Lucheng was very relieved.

The things in the storeroom can finally be sold partially!

Spirits don't matter, as long as they are sealed and stored for several years, they will not spoil, and according to the king, the longer they are stored, the more mellow they become. But tea is different, the palace has 5,000 acres of tea plantations!

The output of these 5,000 acres of tea plantations is amazing in a year.

Even if you only pick the best young leaves on the tea tree, that is, the kind that the king drinks on weekdays, you will definitely not be able to pick much from one acre of land, and two taels of dry tea will be up to the sky. But if you don't pay attention to the taste, only the yield...... It's the kind given to Bahari, so the spring tea and autumn tea add up, and there is at least two catties of weight!

And......

According to the tea farmers, this is because the tea trees in the 5,000 acres of tea plantations have just been planted. By next year and the year after, the yield of tea will gradually increase, and eventually the yield of dry tea per mu will reach three or four catties, or even five catties!

If one acre has four catties of tea, five thousand mu is 20,000 catties!

Every time he thinks that the tea garden under the name of the future king can produce 20,000 catties of tea every year, Han Lucheng will feel his heart tight, and he will almost be unable to breathe!

Even if the king drinks every day, how much can he drink?

Three pounds? Or five pounds?

It's just that this thing is only liked by the monks in the temple, that is, those guys in the south, and even if the king wants to give it away, not many people love it......

If he knew what Han Lucheng was thinking in his head at this time, Li Yuanjia would definitely despise this guy.

It's just 20,000 catties of tea, so it's troublesome?

You must know that more than 1,000 years later, China's tea production is calculated by tons, and the number in front of the unit is still millions!

If you count the yield per mu alone, it is basically one acre and 100 catties of dry tea!

Li Yuanjia actually knows very well that in the era when tea has not yet become the mainstream drink of Chinese, tea cultivation technology must be very backward. In addition, if it has not been cultivated, the varieties of tea trees may not work, and the result is that the yield must be low and scary!

Therefore, when the decision was made back then, Li Yuanjia let people plant 5,000 acres of tea plantations in the south of the Yangtze River in one go.

It is originally a cheap hilly area, and the density of tea trees is quite sparse.

And Li Yuanjia knows that under the extensive planting of those tea farmers, the yield of one acre of tea plantation is one-tenth in the future, or even one-twentieth is already great. If you are not careful, you may have to die a tea tree, or lose a season of tea......

Chinese tea drinking road has a long way to go, but it does not only refer to everyone's tea drinking habits.

What Li Yuanjia can do is to let people plant 5,000 acres of tea plantations, and then slowly explore how to better plant good tea trees so that they can produce more tea. In order to achieve this goal, all Li Yuanjia has to do is to buy 5,000 acres of cheap hilly and mountainous land, and then find dozens of tea farmers to plant and serve those tea trees.

How many big sons can you have when your annual wages add up?

Moreover, as long as Li Yuanjia takes out a bounty of 100 yuan every year to reward those tea farmers whose tea production has increased significantly, he can stimulate them to put all their minds on how to plant tea trees and produce more tea......

No matter how you calculate it, it's a profitable deal!

It's just that 5,000 acres of tea plantations are already Li Yuanjia's limit. If he really dares to buy more than 100,000 acres of land in the south to plant tea trees, coupled with the first-mover advantage and his identity and status as the king of Han, it will not be good to really monopolize Datang's foreign tea trade for decades!

But in that case, it is not good to say that Li Er will clean him up.

So when Han Lucheng felt that he could gamble, Li Yuanjia's mentality was very stable.

Five thousand acres, enough.

With the first-mover advantage, this 5,000 acres of tea plantation will be regarded as a small gold mine in the future, and it will bring a lot of income to itself every year. And if you can push the foreign tea trade of the Central Plains Dynasty forward by a few hundred years, it will be even more profitable, what more bicycles do you need?!

Leave the follow-up to time and take your time.

What Li Yuanjia has to do is to push it with his own hands, and then quietly watch things evolve little by little. He was sure that the tea trade would definitely be able to enter the stage of history in advance, but in the end, he could only look at it with his eyes wide open......
