Chapter 362: The Rubber Tree Has Been Found
"What's going on?" Zhao Qingrui rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
"It's Lord Xu Changming from Shanglin Yuan, who said that he found the rubber tree that His Majesty needs, please go over and check it out." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Swing up the forest garden." Zhao Qingrui's eyes suddenly lit up, the rubber tree, she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally she was looking forward to it.
The speed of the carriage is still quite fast, mainly after the road is repaired, the traffic is smoother, and the road is also very stable, without bumps.
Regarding the situation in Xianyang City, Zhao Qingrui is still very satisfied.
In Shanglin Garden, Xu Changming was extremely excited at this time, the rubber tree had been planted for two or three years, and he didn't notice it before, but he didn't know the tree.
By chance, the knife he was carrying with him cut into the trunk of a tree, and the trunk actually began to flow out of glue, which was very similar to the rubber that His Majesty said.
This can make Xu Changming excited, His Majesty said that this thing has a lot of uses, once verified, this is a great credit.
When they came to Shanglin Yuan, the palace concubines on the side of Afang Palace were also startled when they knew that Zhao Qingrui was coming, and hurriedly came out to salute.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingrui didn't come to look for them, so she waved her hand and went towards the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Xu Chang waited with the farmer's people early tomorrow, and after Zhao Qingrui came over, he immediately led the farmer's people to take over.
"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, take me to see the rubber tree." Zhao Qingrui personally went over and helped Xu Changming up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will take Your Majesty to see it." Xu Changming said enthusiastically, his dark face full of joy.
"Okay."
The group walked towards the location of the rubber tree, which was planted halfway up the mountain, where the weeds were cleared and cleaned, and a tree more than ten meters high grew alone.
"Your Majesty, please see, it's this tree, the sap that flows out after it is cut is sticky, very similar to the rubber that Your Majesty said." Xu Changming said excitedly, and as he spoke, he took down a small bowl hanging from the tree, and put some sap on it.
The eunuch beside Zhao Qingrui immediately took over the small bowl, and these dirty jobs were naturally from them.
The small bowl was placed in front of Zhao Qingrui and asked Zhao Qingrui to take a closer look.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the trees in front of her, then looked at the juice in the bowl, and then spent some points to do a test.
"This is indeed a rubber tree, and you are doing a good job." Zhao Qingrui said with certainty, I didn't expect that she had already transplanted a rubber tree here.
"It's good to be a rubber tree, and it's the duty of a minister to share your majesty's worries." Xu Changming said seriously.
His Majesty attaches great importance to the peasants, and this is the greatest affirmation of them.
"Xu everyone found the rubber tree, and made a great contribution to my Great Qin, the official position was promoted to one level, a house was rewarded, two thousand gold eridium, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a pearl." Zhao Qingrui directly rewarded a bunch of things.
"Your Majesty, this is too much." Xu Changming was stunned, he just found a rubber tree, and he couldn't accept it when he was rewarded with so many things.
"This is what you deserve, you don't know the value of this thing, this thing can be used in many aspects of life, and there are many machines that can also use this thing, which can create value for Daqin." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
asked people to draw the style of the rubber tree, and Zhao Qingrui went back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, the first thing Zhao Qingrui did was to send an order to Wang Yuan, so that he could use it in the Ling Rubber Factory factory for the processing of natural rubber.
If there are not enough rubber trees, you have to find a way to make people more diverse.
Now Daqin's technology can't synthesize artificial rubber at all, and can only use natural rubber collected from trees.
It just so happens that the disaster situation in Lingnan has improved, and the impact of the epidemic on Lingnan's economy is still very great.
If there is a rubber industry, this can also quickly promote the development of Lingnan.
Zhao Qingrui also allocated a large amount of money and grain to Wang Yuan, asking him to build the factory as soon as possible.
Zhao Qingrui's actions made many officials in the DPRK oppose, so much money, in addition to the money invested in education, Daqin's treasury to maintain the operation of the entire Daqin, is barely enough, and now His Majesty has transferred so much money to build a rubber factory and plant rubber.
Although His Majesty said that this is a good thing, it will take a long time for these things to be put on the market, and the initial investment is also a huge number.
Although they disagreed, Zhao Qingrui still issued an edict to enforce the matter.
Whoever says it doesn't work, she has to promote this rubber.
With the emergence of a new thing called rubber, Zhao Qingrui didn't think about hiding it from people outside, so there were still a lot of rumors in Xianyang City during this time.
Zhao Qingrui listened to the weak report for a while, and didn't care about this matter anymore, anyway, they will know the use of rubber in the future.
"Your Majesty, Lord Gongyi asks to see you." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Xuan." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
Soon, Gong Yu came over, and he also came over with a long box.
"Your Majesty, fortunately, the Dingqin Sword has been recast, please take a look." The public loses the balance and opens the box.
In order to reforge this Dingqin sword, it took a lot of effort for the public loser to reforge the Dingqin sword during this time.
Zhao Qingrui walked over and took out the Dingqin Sword from the sword box.
As soon as he started, Zhao Qingrui found that the Dingqin Sword was a lot heavier, but it felt better.
Pulling out the Dingqin sword, it let out a soft roar, the sword body was exposed to a faint cold light, and the sword body was also carved with some ancient patterns, which was the appearance of the Dingqin sword before.
The current Dingqin Sword can only be said to have the same appearance as the previous Dingqin Sword, and the entire Dingqin Sword has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Zhangtai Palace was spacious enough, and Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but practice a few moves with the Dingqin Sword.
Fortunately, she learned a lot from Wang Jian before, and in addition to the situation in the army, she also learned the use of some weapons.
Great Qin's weapons were relatively small, and they were not as rich as those of later generations.
Zhao Qingrui's figure was as light as a young swallow, her wrist rotated, and the Dingqin sword also flashed as fast as lightning, and the sword light flashed, fusing with the figure of the girl in the hall.
Gong Yu was stupid for a while, why didn't he find out that His Majesty was so beautiful before?
Yes, Your Majesty's majesty is getting heavier day by day, and you often have a serious face, Your Majesty is becoming more and more like the First Emperor, and they don't dare to look directly at Your Majesty's heavenly face.
"Good sword." Zhao Qingrui withdrew the sword in his hand and said with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty likes it." Coming back to his senses in an instant, Gong Yu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, next time I can't look at Your Majesty like this.
If His Majesty finds out, it is estimated that this pair of eyeballs will not be able to be saved.
He also rewarded the public loser with some things, and the public lost the rest and left Zhangtai Palace.
The Zhangtai Palace was quiet, and Zhao Qingrui played with the Dingqin Sword, her eyes full of joy.
Today's Dingqin sword is absolutely as sharp as clay, and the public loser casts a sword for her this time, which makes her very satisfied.
The good news came one after another, and Zhao Qingrui's boring mood was much better.
Hang the sword around your waist, just like your father, and keep it within easy reach of your hand, so that you don't have to worry about being attacked.
——
Wang Yuan received Zhao Qingrui's will, and looked at the large amount of money sent over, and the whole person was stunned.
His Majesty asked him to look for rubber trees, and he also asked him to build a large rubber factory, and the drawings of the rubber factory were sent along with him.
The drawings of the rubber factory were bought by Zhao Qingrui for a lot of points, but they were the most primitive and the cheapest.
Even if it was the cheapest, it cost more than 100,000 points.
However, as long as she thinks about the value created by rubber trees, Zhao Qingrui feels that this investment is completely worth it.
The equipment used in it can be built in the iron mill now, and technological innovation will be needed in the future, and then let them figure it out by themselves, so she won't interfere much.
Seeing these things, Wang Yuan asked dozens of copies of the rubber tree pattern to be sent to the county governor's mansion, and then arranged for someone to start looking for the rubber tree.
In addition to looking for it, it is also necessary to transplant some small saplings and plant them in one place, and let Wang Yuan plan the planting place, and she gave Wang Yuan great rights.
Wang Yuan did not live up to Zhao Qingrui's expectations, the epidemic here has been completely controlled, but the economy is sluggish, and Zhao Qingrui's edict is enough to rejuvenate this side.
Wang Yuan consulted with the newly transferred county guard, and soon planned a large area for planting rubber trees, and set aside a large area of land for building factories.
Considering the situation of various factories in Xianyang, Wang Yuan asked for more land to build dormitories and entertainment areas here.
If you want to develop this side, these things are essential.
Although he is not very good at business, he has seen a lot of such a model in the situation of Xianyang in the past few years, and he just copied it.
The county guard is newly transferred, Wang Yuan is a celebrity next to His Majesty, and now he is still entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, as long as he follows well, the credit will definitely be indispensable.
Once the rubber trees are planted, the factory is built, and the rubber is processed and used, the prosperity here will definitely be indispensable in the future.
As long as this side develops, his road to climb up in the future will definitely be much smoother.
Although I don't know what this rubber is used for, but it can be affirmed by His Majesty as a good thing, it must not be bad.
Thinking of this, his work movements are more agile.
After Wang Yuan discussed with the county guard, he acted quickly.
The population of Lingnan is still too small, and there is a lot of open space, so it is easy to set aside an area to plant rubber trees.
Wang Yuan's land was directly approved, anyway, Lingnan has the most land except for trees.
There are still some small tribes in Lingnan, but in recent years, they have fully adapted to the development of Great Qin, and they have already regarded themselves as Great Qin people.
This is an order from the imperial court, to work for wages, to be fed, to be able to get some oil.
In recent years, Lingnan has developed well, with enough food, but it is still relatively poor.
Zhao Qingrui's edict this time was warmly welcomed by the people here.
They have really benefited from the school they have built here, especially for their children who have good grades, and the prize money is enough to catch up with their income for several months.
They are also more concerned about letting their children study, not only can they understand reason, but they can also become officials in the future, and they can't refuse all kinds of benefits.
Now they are going to build factories again, and they have only seen what factories look like in the newspapers, and it is not realistic to see them in reality.
There is a salt factory here, which is very large, but they can't go in and see it.
Now that we have to build a factory and recruit a lot of people, how can we not get them excited.
As soon as the news of the construction of the factory was released, even other nearby counties got the news, and some Qianshou rushed here to sign up.
The number of applicants increased rapidly, and it took a few days to determine the number of people, and this time tens of thousands of people were directly recruited.
With so many people, Wang Yuan was stunned.
However, he quickly came to his senses and quickly arranged.
There were a lot of people brought over this time, and the people who followed the edict also brought some technical talents and management talents, and Wang Yuan was not in a hurry.
The whole of Lingnan began to be lively, and a large amount of materials were needed to build the factory, and in addition to shipping them from all over the country, Wang Yuan also purchased a lot of materials from some merchants.
Now that Zhao Qingrui has completely released the production of cement, there are many businessmen who have settled in it and built workshops to make cement.
Cement has many uses, whether it is building houses or building bridges and paving roads, it is extremely strong, and many buildings in various places are gradually replaced by cement.
Even the embankments used by the imperial court to build were replaced with cement.
The embankments in various places have been reinforced, and the floods in the past two years have been so rare that they cannot be reported to the imperial court.
Cement is not expensive, Wang Yuan bought a lot.
In addition to cement, all kinds of wood are also needed, and the most important thing here in Lingnan is all kinds of wood.
Fortunately, he always remembered Zhao Qingrui's words, and after cutting down the trees, he planted some saplings, so that the environment could not be destroyed.
All kinds of materials were quickly sent to the open space on the side of the factory, and Wang Yuan had already arranged for people to start digging the foundation.
Tens of thousands of people acted together, and the scene was still very spectacular.
The people who work are not as numb as before, and many of them, although they are tired, have a bright smile on their faces and are full of expectations for life.
This side is busy with work, and Han Xin, who is chasing and killing pirates, has also chased to the Lingnan side, there are many islands in the sea, and some of the people of Daqin actually have specially fallen into sea bandits.
Over the course of a year, they have dismantled several large pirate rings.
All the people who were arrested were sent to Yingzhou Island to mine, but even if they were caught strictly, there were still Haikou pirates, but they were just a little more restrained.
"Huh? Is that you? How did you get to Lingnan? Han Xin asked the captured Haikou to be tied up, and looked at Wang Yuan with some surprise.
He naturally knew Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan was valued by His Majesty, and he naturally paid more attention to the people close to His Majesty.
"I was sent by His Majesty to treat the epidemic here, and I was about to return to Xianyang after I was busy, but Your Majesty came with a new order." Wang Yuan said with a smile, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
