Chapter 63: Mission Accomplished
"Third Uncle Zhu, if you take the path of the green forest, do you still want to tell your father about this matter?" Lai Cheng asked.
"Such a big thing, naturally I have to report it to Grandpa Guo. If it is really such a large-scale salt production as Gongzi said, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably alarm the local government. If you have a greeting from the grandfather of the country, the local people will turn a blind eye, and a lot of trouble will be reduced.
"According to my father's temper, I'm afraid I won't interfere in such a thing, right?" I'm a little uncertain.
Zhu San said with a smile: "If the eldest prince does this kind of thing, not only will Grandpa Guo not interfere, but he may also ask him to think about it behind closed doors." But if Childe does it, there is still a chance for this thing. β
"Oh? Why? "Let's ask in confusion.
"Because Gongzi is most like the grandfather of the country, whether the Guogong Mansion can continue to be glorious in the future is pinned on the son."
"Uh...... Uncle Zhu's words are a bit exaggerated. β
Zhu San shook his head: "The reason why Grandpa Guo can have today's achievements is all due to his great military exploits in the past. The eldest prince and the fifth prince have ordinary martial arts, but they are still a little worse to support this big stall of the Rongguo Mansion. Only Childe is excellent in martial arts and has the best chance of making a name for himself in the army. In less than two years, as long as there is a chance to go on the expedition, Grandpa Guo will definitely take Gongzi with him for more experience. β
After pondering for a while, he spoke: "But after all, this is a head-killing business, and my father has always been cautious, and I'm afraid he won't agree to do it." β
Zhu San said with a smile: "Childe is too worried, don't say that Zhai Rang is doing some illegal things in private." The court and the door valves, who is clean and spotless? Our business is the same, the second brother of a certain family has a good relationship with Zhai Rang, not because he has a private salt in his hand. β
Picking up the teapot, filling it with tea, and pouring himself a cup, Zhu Sancai continued: "I thought just now that Gongzi was making a small fuss and wanted to smuggle sea salt to earn some pocket money, so I was worried and didn't want Gongzi to be contaminated." But if Gongzi can really achieve hundreds of thousands of catties of sea salt at sunrise, not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties, as long as he can produce tens of thousands of catties per day, countless people will be willing to take the risk of killing their heads for this. With such a big fortune, even if it is a little risky, Grandpa Guo will definitely be tempted. β
Came to the whole finger and tapped lightly: "I hope this matter is more hidden, and try not to involve the family." β
"Childe, don't worry." Zhu San replied with his hands tied: "This matter will be handed over to the second brother to handle, and it will be foolproof." β
"And then there's this thing about roasting tea." Lai pointed to the teacup: "After all, it is completely transported from Sichuan and Shu, and the cost is too high." Let the second uncle send someone to Sichuan and Shu to choose tea varieties suitable for planting in the Central Plains and bring them over. Then invite experienced tea farmers to come to Henan and look for suitable large-scale planting in the Xinyang area. β
In later generations, all tea drinkers know the famous tea "Xinyang Maojian" produced in Xinyang.
The world's first tea book "The Book of Tea" compiled by Lu Yu, a tea saint in the Tang Dynasty, divided the 13 provinces and 42 prefectures and counties rich in tea in the country into eight tea areas, and Xinyang returned to the Huainan tea area.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo said: "Huainan tea Xinyang is the first." The tea growers in the southwest mountain farmers have many camellias, which are beautiful in color, taste and fragrance, and the products are not below Zhejiang and Fujian. β
Historically, Xinyang Maojian was mainly produced in Xinyang County and Luoshan County. The well-known production area is Wuyun (Cheyun, Jiyun, Yunwu, Tianyun, Lianyun five mountains), two pools (Black Dragon Pond, White Dragon Pond), one mountain (Zhenlei Mountain), one village (Hejiazhai), one temple (Lingshan Temple).
During the period of the Republic of China, tea production was vigorously developed after the Qing Dynasty, and the production technology of famous tea was gradually improved. The Xinyang Tea District has successively established five major tea societies, plus the three major tea societies of the Qing Dynasty are collectively known as the "Eight Tea Societies".
Because the "Eight Tea Societies" pay attention to the introduction, digestion and absorption of production technology, and the processing technology has been perfected, and later the very good quality of this mountain Maojian tea was named "Xinyang Maojian".
Speaking of which, selling tea in the Great Sui Dynasty did not make much money at all, firstly, because people generally did not have the habit of drinking tea, and secondly, the Turkic and other ethnic groups in the north did not realize the importance of tea to the survival of their race.
The main reason why Zhu Er paid attention to Sichuan and Shu tea and introduced it to the north was that he wanted to drink tea by himself, and by the way, he guided the people around him to develop the habit of drinking tea. Of course, it's good to be able to make some money.
And because tea is not valued very much now, even when the world is in turmoil, not many people will peep into the tea garden, and naturally they are not afraid of being destroyed. When the world is decided, even if you can't enter the court to worship the general, relying on this tea mountain laid out in advance, it is enough for several generations of descendants to eat and drink without worry, and the rich party.
The reason why Zhu Er was so interested in operating this matter was because after drinking the tea sent by Zhu San, he felt refreshed and refreshed, and the aftertaste was sweet. As a business-minded shopkeeper, I suddenly thought that in the future, this roasted tea may have a great effect, and once it is operated properly, it will have a huge monopoly market that has never been seen before.
So he received an invitation to let the tea lead north and look for a suitable planting place, without saying a word, he immediately sent his right-hand man south to Sichuan and Shu, and hired a few Sichuan and Shu merchants who knew how to plant tea in Nanshi, and personally took people to Xinyang.
Originally, because he was stabbed in the ring, Yang Hui, the king of Qi, wanted to pull Laijia into the water, and said several times that the assassination incident was inseparable from Laijia. But after the emperor's edict made him think about it behind closed doors, everything was gone.
Under Zhu Er's maneuvering, Luoyang Mansion also relaxed the restrictions on Lai Liulang and others.
Finally, this afternoon, Lai Zhen was practicing bow shooting, and a crisp sound sounded in his head: "The task is complete, please enter the system to claim the reward!" β
I've been so busy these past few days that I almost forgot that there is such a thing as a system.
Came and wiped his hands, walked to the tree and sat down:
"Turn on the system."
"Huh." The screen flashes.
γLittle Overlord Systemγ(Beginner Version)
[Domineering]: 2597
[Lottery]: Draw treasure chests
[Mall]: Not open
[Mission]: 1 (completed)

β¦β¦β¦β¦
The domineering value turned out to be 2597? This hasn't received the task reward yet, and these increased domineering points should have been contributed by the onlookers at that time.
"Open the task." Come and meditate.
The screen flashes again.
Task:
1. Defeat all the provocateurs and become the street fighter of the crawler. (Completed)
β¦β¦
Success Rewards:
(1) One light pill (primary): After use, you can be as light as a swallow in ten breaths.
(2) One Sprint Pill (Elementary): After use, the running speed can be doubled in ten breaths.
(3) Domineering value increased by 1000.
β¦β¦
At the bottom of the mission, there is a golden subtitle, which is constantly flashing.
"The mission has been completed, do you want to receive the task reward?"
Needless to say, what are you waiting for if you don't receive it:
"Pick!"
The system flashed and returned to the original interface:
γLittle Overlord Systemγ(Beginner Version)
[domineering]: 3597
[Lottery]: Draw treasure chests
[Mall]: Not open
[Mission]: 1 (not accepted)
[Item]: 4
β¦β¦
There was a new task, and he smiled helplessly, because the last task was assassinated by King Qi, and it was not announced until now. I don't know what moths will come out of the next mission.
I didn't have the mood to see it at all, so I shut down the system directly.
