Chapter 720: It's a traffic problem again

If you offend a scholar, you can almost say that no matter how good an official you are, you will get a very big counterattack.

If you want to do things, you must cater to most people, and those who speak with power in the people are not ordinary people, but scholars.

The three giants of the Fan family manor gathered together again.

This time, the topic they discussed was what Fan Jingjing mentioned: the plan for the large-scale development of the western region.

Everyone has almost no idea about the plan for the large-scale development of the western region, so their brows are furrowed.

Including Fan Qi, an important family member of a large family, none of them had the experience of leaving Chang'an too far.

Most of the business areas are places with a lot of people, or places with abundant products, but the Great Northwest is almost a forbidden area for Tang people to do business.

Only the merchants of the Western Regions came and went, and they were able to pass through the Great Northwest smoothly.

There are a lot of dangerous things going on in the whole great northwest, and there are Turks who are in it too.

Turkic horses will not be sent to the Guannei, otherwise the Turkic cattle, the people in the Tang Dynasty do not necessarily want to eat, the Turkic cattle are very different from the cattle in the Guannei, that is, their temper is relatively short-tempered, and it is too difficult to transport alive.

"The development of the Northwest Trade Route is of great benefit to the people of Datang, and I will also have a great effect on the stability of the Northwest.

When the army has not completely left, we must have the strength to move forward.

Of course, in order not to give the other party a chance to bully us, we must set off by force, and with the strength to resist the opponent's fist, the other party will do business with us well.

We don't bully each other, and after beating each other down, we start doing business peacefully."

"Regardless of the casualties, how to transport the goods from the northwest to the customs is a very rare problem, and most of the goods in the northwest are in the hands of the rest of the people.

They are delicately processed and then become popular products, but when I read the text explanation given to us by the owner, it seems that our focus is still on food to keep people fed.

Of course, there is no problem in turning it into food, because beef and other meats can be dried, especially after the beef is dried, the cooking can return to its original meat quality and even become more delicious.

Even dried or roasted meat can be eaten directly, but if you want to roast these meats in large quantities in the northwest, it will probably be very problematic.

According to our understanding, there are more herdsmen in the northwest, and the items they lack are not a problem for us to send over, tea, although it is not produced here, only the Fan family manor has large-scale production, and the rest of the tea almost have to be transported from the south, tea can be preserved for a long time, and can be transported far away, and it is relatively light, and it is not a problem in transportation, not to mention that when they use tea, they are not like green vegetables to eat a lot, as long as they put a little tea foam, will be able to increase their demand for plant fibers.

But our biggest problem is that if we want to bring in meat from that place, especially fresh meat, even if the horses or cattle and sheep can walk on their own, but these living creatures need food along the way, and it is very difficult and expensive to help them prepare food. ”

"You might think you're going to have to bring a lot of food along the way, but my plan is to have some pastures in every location.

So that the cattle can rest in the middle, each pasture is dedicated to these cattle and sheep grass to eat, relatively speaking, it is easier than them carrying the grass into the customs.

In fact, many places along the route to the northwest are suitable for growing pasture, but we do not have grass seeds in this place, so we must first go to the north and north to collect alfalfa sprouts or other grasses that can be eaten by cattle and sheep and maintain their healthy pasture.

SeedsIn addition to forage seeds, I know that there is a thing called corn that can also fatten a lot of these cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens, and corn is something that we didn't have in Datang, but I brought corn, and corn has begun to be sown on a large scale. ”

"Isn't corn for people to eat? It is a waste to feed these cattle and sheep, it is better to feed them directly, because the care of corn takes more time. ”

"There are many places suitable for planting corn, and even corn can be more adapted to the dry climate environment, so planting corn in the northwest is not a problem, and even a large number of slopes to grow corn is not a problem, and even we don't have to beat it into forage, directly lead the cattle and sheep to the corn field, let them eat corn, reduce our labor expenditure."

In this way, we can reduce costs, we know that in all business activities, cost is very important, only by reducing costs can we be competitive.

And at this stage, according to our plan, there should be no one to compare with us, and if we introduce and reform the transportation facilities, maybe we can completely control this business in the hands of the Fan family manor, and master one-third of the Datang grain depot.

What's more, our canned food can also be sent to this place, but the weight of the canned food is still heavier than the weight of the meat, and even the transportation is more inconvenient, there are not too many rivers to go on this part of the road, of course, if we go around to the north there is a place called Yin Mountain, this place also has a lot of grassland, and the grass is very delicious.

After producing canned food locally, you can go down the river to the Hukou Waterfall in the east of Chang'an.

In that place, you can go to Chang'an Street through the broadcast and transfer, which can save a lot of freight, and the canner's products are not easy to spoil.

As long as we keep cans recycled, these products can actually be recycled and even become daily necessities.

And it shouldn't be a problem to set up a canning workshop in the local area, we just need to send the canning workshop team in Haicheng to finish.

It is possible to set up a local canning factory, but the best transportation method is to import live cattle directly, and let the live cattle obediently cultivate for the people, which can greatly increase our productivity. ”

Fan Qi, Sun Erlang and Liang Shu once again realized that the reason why there is no way to achieve every business is that there is no way to establish a transportation system.

Fan Jingjing's transportation system, in their minds, there is no specific concept, use a rail, and let the rail automate, and send electricity to the carriage, so that the carriage can roll, what a magical thing, or let them find a magnetic system, so that the magnetic system can move forward on its own, but there must be a magnet to control the magnetic system.
