Today's weather is good, Wu Zhu is sitting in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, and there is a cup of tea on the table next to him, the color is bright red, the teacup is small and cute, and it looks unique. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This tastes good, no wonder so many people like it, this prince of Qianguo is really a capable person, and he can actually make such a delicious thing." Reading books, sipping tea, and the warm sunshine and the breeze with the fragrance of flowers, it must be just the days of the gods.

Since Chen Guang taught the people of Guangdong to grow tea, because of the profits, in Guangdong, more and more tea trees are planted. The tea was grown and transported to tea processing factories on the border between Qianguo and Guangdong, where it was made into fine tea and then sold to various places.

In today's Guangdong, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that tea planting is the largest source of income. In addition, with the passage of time, we have also found that there are several places where it is good to grow tea, so it has gradually formed several development directions of high-end and mid-end, and made tea with different flavors, but it seems that tea is more ever-changing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we're about to go." At this time, someone from outside came in and said respectfully to Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu put down the book, raised his eyebrows, and then drank the tea in the cup, smacked his lips, and said to himself; "Tea should be drunk while it is hot." Then he said to the man who came, "All right, you go outside and wait, and I will arrive later." ”

He got up and went to the house to change his clothes, and when he came out again, he looked like a heroic little general, but it had nothing to do with the elegance just now.

I don't know how many times this has happened, he has already mastered it, out of the East Palace, riding out of the palace, and the long queue outside has been lined up.

At the front of the line, there were a hundred guards who were strong and didn't look easy to mess with, and they were the people from the most elite troops in Guangdong, similar to the Jinyi Guards in the Qianguo Jing Jinyi Guard.

Then they were protecting dozens of wagons, all of which were enormous, six feet wide and six feet high, nearly a foot long, and were firmly chained by iron chains.

Behind them were a hundred strong, hard-looking guards, guarding the large chests.

Wu Zhu came over slowly, and all the people collectively bowed to him and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wu Zhu nodded slightly and said, "Are things ready?" ”

After receiving a positive answer, Wu Zhu seemed very happy and said: "Very good, recently we have been praising our tea raw materials better and better, everyone should not be lax, we must be perfect, so that we can sell at a higher price." ”

That's right, these boxes contain raw materials to be transported to tea processing factories across the border. As the tea business becomes more and more popular, Wu Zhu's tea team is also getting bigger and bigger.

Starting from the capital, and then going to the border, there was no special way to go before, and then I walked a lot, and I made money again, so I simply extended the official road to the border, and at the junction of the two countries, the mountains dug a tunnel, and the two countries were completely opened. This was a very huge siege, and it took more than half a year for the two countries of Guangdong and Qianguo to work together to dig out this tunnel.

In the tea factory, Chen Guang is drinking tea. He also arrived here yesterday, since the opening of this tea processing factory, he has been in control of the processing and sales of tea in the two countries of Qianguo and Guangdong, such an important economic source, but Chen Guang has not asked for a long time, so he took a free time to come.

"Let's go, collect the tea." Someone outside shouted, and Chen Guang thought about it and followed out.

The rules that were set before were that Yue Guo was responsible for growing tea and then selling it to tea processing factories, which has always been done like this, although the business is getting bigger and bigger, but this rule is still not broken. Chen Guang saw it when he handed over the tea for the first time, and he never came to the tea processing factory again after that, so he wanted to go with him again today, one is to miss it, and it can be regarded as testing whether there are any drawbacks in this model and whether there is anything that needs to be improved.

Riding a horse, I came out of the factory, and the door was a wide road, which should have reached the scale of an official road, and then I walked more than ten miles in the direction of the border, and the road was smooth and smooth, and it was very comfortable to walk. I remember that when the factory was just built here, the environment was so harsh that compared to now, it was almost one in the sky and one in the ground.

This time Chen Guang was followed by an old man named Guo Nu, although his name was Nu, but his face looked very kind, Chen Guang had asked him why he was called this name before, Guo Nu said that he had a great temper when he was young, and he was easy to get angry, so he simply changed the name, but as he grew older, his anger gradually subsided, and it became what he is now.

"Lord Guo, how long does it take for this tea to come in batches?" Chen Guang asked.

Guo said angrily: "I can't say, they will send it when they have tea, the climate there is different from ours, and the old minister has not seen it in the past, so it is not good." ”

Guo Nu is only responsible for the trading of tea, and his family opened a store before, and this scale is not separated from the stone, he closed his eyes and was clear, but he left this scale, and the others wanted to ask him, which could be regarded as finding the wrong person. After being in charge of collecting tea in this tea factory for such a long time, he has never set foot on the land of Guangdong at all.

Chen Guang just asked casually, since Guo Nu didn't know, he didn't care. The group soon came to the border, and looking at the huge tunnel, even Chen Guang felt shocked. This is definitely a huge siege, and it is really desperate to dig a tunnel like this for tea.

He didn't know what the importance of tea in Guangdong had reached, and it was the same status as salt, iron and copper. For such a precious thing, it is not too much to build a tunnel, not to mention that Qianguo has also made a lot of efforts. It only does raw material processing, but the profit is so much, in fact, the tea processing factory makes more money than the Guangdong country where tea is grown. However, most of the money made went to the national treasury, but not much remained.

This is Chen Guang's idea, whether it is a tea processing factory or the Hope Project, the majority of the money is given to the treasury, because of this, Chen Ang praised Chen Guang a lot. What a torturous thing it is to collect taxes from the whole country every year, and it is not necessarily possible to collect them in full and on time, but the taxes from the tea processing factory and the Hope Project are ironclad, and they go directly to the treasury without any loss, and the amount is considerable.
