Chapter 182: Haoqiang, Shang Jia (2) [The cold has recurred]

"Two sons, please look at ......" Wang Shun took Zhang Yue and Liu Jin into the gate of his house, and when he passed through the garden, he suddenly stopped, pointed to a small piece of land not far away, and stroked his beard slightly proudly.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jin looked at the past, but saw that they were dozens of saplings cultivated in potted plants.

This kind of sapling looks a little strange.

Different from the plants that Zhang Yue was familiar with in the past, their leaves are lanceolate and look verdant green, like trees.

"Lychee Tree!" While Zhang Yue was still guessing the type of this sapling, Liu Jin had already exclaimed.

When Wang Shun heard this, he was a little shocked.

He spent a huge amount of money to find these lychee trees from the mountains in the southwest Yi area, worked hard to cultivate seedlings in the local area, and then spent a huge amount of money to transport them back to his hometown in Guanzhong.

Since the return of the transport, every time a guest comes to the door, he will bring the guests here, let them guess the origin of these saplings, when the guests are puzzled, he will work hard to find this kind of lychee tree from the southwest Yi mountains, how much it cost in the local area, how much money it cost to cultivate the seedlings, and how much it cost to transport it back to Guanzhong.

All those who heard it were shocked by their eyes and worshipped.

Today is the first time anyone has been able to name such a sapling!

This made Wang Shun can't help but be more polite to the two noble sons in front of him.

Anyone who knows about lychee trees must have seen them!

And in the entire Guanzhong, there is only one place where people have ever seen this kind of sapling - Fuli Palace!

In other words, the two noble sons in front of me are probably really expensive!

So, Wang Shun unconsciously lowered his waist by several centimeters, and said with a smile: "Childe really has good eyesight, it is the lychee tree ......"

"A certain family is going to feed these dozens of lychee trees, and then pay tribute to the Son of Heaven and talk about the respect of the subjects......" When he said this, the corners of Wang Shun's mouth turned up slightly, quite complacent.

"I can't feed ......" Liu Jin sighed leisurely and looked at these lychee saplings.

His grandfather once set up the Fuli Palace in the Yuan Feng period, and carried a large number of plants from all over the world in the palace, mainly cultivating more than 1,000 lychee trees.

The result is how much is planted and how much is dead.

His grandfather did not believe in evil, so he ordered hundreds of lychee trees to be transplanted from Panyu.

There are even a few mature lychee trees that have been dug out of the soil intact without any root injuries.

Only then did one plant survive the severe cold of Guanzhong that year and survive until the spring of the second year.

His grandfather was delighted when he heard the dragon's face, and he loved the lychee tree with boundless love.

A special caretaker was appointed for it, called the 'Guardian Messenger', who was given the title of Jiexuan, and dozens of subordinate officials were assigned to watch and take care of it day and night.

Outcome......

This lychee tree eventually withered and died.

His grandfather was sad for a long time, so much so that he rarely even went to Fuli Palace from then on.

If someone can feed the lychee tree and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, he will naturally be rewarded.

However, Fuli Palace has tried to transplant lychee trees for more than ten consecutive years, but it has not been successful.

Liu Jin doesn't think that this Wang Shun can succeed.

"Childe is too pessimistic...... Wang Shun said confidently: "A certain family has been traveling south and north for more than 20 years, and has seen many plants from the south transplanted to the north, and they can all survive!" ”

"Although this lychee tree is precious, it may not be impossible to plant in Guanzhong!"

Zhang Yue listened and couldn't help laughing.

"How?" Wang Shun turned his head to look at Zhang Yue and asked, "Could it be that Gongzi also thinks that the lychee tree can't survive in Guanzhong?" ”

"It's not ......" Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "As long as you are willing to invest, Hugh said that it is Guanzhong, and this lychee tree can live in Juyan!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Shun and Liu Jin both looked at Zhang Yue with some puzzlement.

"For example, your Excellency only needs to command a man to find a place in this elm tree, and build a large house, which is locked on all sides by a wall, so that it is impermeable, and the top of which is paved with thatch, so that it does not leak from wind and rain...... Then the lychees were transplanted into the cold in winter, and the servants were ordered to make a fire in the house, and the temperature in the house was like Panyu and Jiaozhi, and the lychee tree could naturally live ......"

"But the investment is too much............ "Zhang Yue shook his head and sighed.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Wang Shun listened to Zhang Yue's words, his eyes rolled, and he immediately burst into laughter, ready to do what Zhang Yue did.

Anyway, he has money, trench!

Liu Jin glanced at Zhang Yue with some puzzlement, and didn't understand what Zhang Yue's intention was?

But one thing he knows very well is that the method that Zhang Shizhong said should be feasible.

It's just that I'm afraid the cost will be astronomical.

Zhang Yuezi also saw Liu Jin's expression and knew that he had something in his heart.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity for Wang Shun to lead the way and continue to move forward, he quietly said to Liu Jin: "Does Your Highness have any doubts? ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jin nodded slightly, and whispered to Zhang Yue: "The method of serving, I'm afraid it costs a lot, if it succeeds, I'm afraid there will be endless disasters......

The nobles and princes of Chang'an City may not be able to do it in other aspects.

But when it comes to losers, no one can compare.

As long as Wang Shun succeeds here, there will be more and more followers.

A lot of resources and wealth will be wasted on such luxuries.

"Your Highness, don't worry......," Zhang Yue said with a smile: "There will be no misfortune, on the contrary, if this Wang Shun does this, maybe it will still be a great merit!" ”

"Huh?"

"The minister heard that Jiaozhi County paid tribute to Chang'an's lychee and longan, and it was rumored that there were many people who died between thousands ......of miles," Zhang Yue said softly: "If this lychee can be produced in Guanzhong, the people of Jiaozhi may be under less pressure......"

As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee.

This poem of the Tang Dynasty is also suitable for today's Han Dynasty.

The ministers of Chang'an and the royal family, in order to taste fresh lychees, asked Jiaozhi County to pay tribute every year.

In order to ensure the freshness of the lychees, the officials and people of Jiaozhi had to travel day and night to Chang'an.

In order to be able to send the lychee fruit to the king before it spoils.

Every year, dozens of people die on this road of tributary lychees and longans.

The people of Jiaozhi were unbearable, and it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that the policy of paying tribute to lychees in Jiaozhi County was abandoned.

If there is lychee production in Guanzhong, the tribute of Jiaozhi may be stopped.

Of course, in fact, the success or failure of this matter is still between the two sides.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it's not his own money that is spent, Zhang Yue is not distressed at all!

"Besides......" Zhang Yue blinked his eyes and said, "Maybe, it can also benefit the people in the elm tree......"

What Zhang Yue provided to Wang Shun is the most primitive and expensive technology in the greenhouse scheme.

Not to mention, just to ensure the temperature in the greenhouse, how much firewood do you have to burn every day?

Winter logging is one of the few sources of income for farmers.

If Wang Shun really played with the greenhouse plan, not to mention the others, the people in this elm tree would definitely benefit!

After listening to this, Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yue, and suddenly said: "Zhang Shizhong really has the people in his heart......"
