Live as the emperor

Chapter 234

Today's weather is fine, Wu Zhu is sitting in the yard, holding a book in his hand, and a cup of tea is placed on the table next to him, the color is bright red, the tea cup is small and cute, it looks special.

"It tastes good. No wonder so many people like it. The prince of Qianguo is really capable. He can make such delicious food." Reading a book, sipping tea, and the warm sunshine and The breeze of the fragrance of flowers, presumably even the days of the gods are nothing more than this.

Ever since Chen Guang taught the people of Guangdong to grow tea, because of the huge profits, more and more tea trees were planted in Guangdong. From the mountain bag, all of them are crisp tea leaves.After these tea leaves are planted, they are transported to tea processing factories located on the border between Qianguo and Guangdong, where they are made into high-quality tea, and then sold to various places.

In today's Guangdong, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that growing tea is the biggest source of income.In addition, with the passage of time, everyone has also discovered that there are several places that are good for growing tea, so they have gradually formed several development directions of high-end and mid-range, producing tea with different flavors, which makes tea more ever-changing. Woke up.

"His Royal Highness, we are leaving." At this moment, someone came in from outside and said respectfully to Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu put down the book, raised his eyebrows, drank the tea in the cup, smacked his lips, and said to himself, "You should drink the tea while it's hot." Then he said to the person who came: "Okay, You go and wait outside first, I'll be there soon."

He got up and went into the house to change his clothes. When he came out, he looked like a dashing young military general, but it had nothing to do with the elegance he had just shown.

This kind of situation has happened countless times. He has already been familiar with it. When he left the East Palace and rode out of the palace, the long queue outside was already lined up.

At the front of the team are a hundred guards who are strong and not easy to mess with. They are the most elite troops in Guangdong, similar to the Jinyiwei in Qianguo Jingjinyiwei.

Then these people were protecting dozens of carriages. These carriages were extremely huge, six feet wide, six feet high, and nearly ten feet long, and they were firmly tied by iron chains.

Behind them are a hundred bodyguards who are not easy to mess with, closely guarding these big boxes.

Wu Zhu came over leisurely, and all the people collectively bowed to him and shouted: "His Royal Highness."

Wu Zhu nodded slightly and said, "Are everything ready?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Zhu seemed very happy, and said: "Very well, recently they are boasting that our tea raw materials are getting better and better, everyone, don't relax, we must be perfect, so that we can sell for a higher price. "

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

Starting from the capital, and then going to the border, there was no special road before, but after walking a lot, and making money again, the official road was simply extended to the border, at the junction of the two countries In this place, a tunnel was dug in the mountains, completely connecting the two countries.This was a huge siege. At that time, the two countries of Guangdong and Qian worked together, and it took more than half a year to dig out this tunnel.

In the tea factory, Chen Guang is drinking tea.He also just arrived here yesterday. Ever since this tea processing factory was opened, it has been controlling the processing and sales of tea in Qianguo and Guangdong. Chen Guang has not asked about such an important source of income for a long time. So he took a spare time to come over.

"Let's go, collect the tea leaves." Someone called outside, and Chen Guang followed him out with a thought.

According to the rules set before, Guangdong is responsible for growing tea and then selling it to tea processing factories. This has always been the case. Although the business is getting bigger and bigger now, this rule has not been broken.I met Chen Guang when he was delivering tea for the first time, and I haven't been to the tea processing factory since then, so I wanted to go and see him again today, both to miss him and to test myself. Does the model have any shortcomings and is there any room for improvement?

Riding a horse, coming out of the factory, there is a wide road at the door, which should have reached the scale of the official road, and then walked for more than ten miles in the direction of the border. The road was smooth and smooth, and it was very comfortable to walk.When I think of the harsh environment when the factory was just built here, compared with now, it is simply that one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

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

"Master Guo, how long does it take for a batch of this tea?" Chen Guang asked.

Na Guo said angrily: "I can't say, they will send tea when they have it. The climate there is different from ours, and I haven't seen it before, so I can't say."

Guo Nu was only in charge of the tea trade, and his family used to own a shop, so he closed his eyes to understand the inseparable weight, but if he had to ask him about other things, he would be looking for the wrong person.Having been in charge of harvesting tea in this tea factory for so long, he has never set foot on the land of Guangdong.

Chen Guang was just asking casually, since Guo Nu didn't know, he didn't care.A group of people soon came to the border, looking at the huge tunnel, even Chen Guang was shocked.This is definitely a huge siege, and it is really desperate to dig such a tunnel for tea.

He doesn't know how important tea has become in Guangdong. It has 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 put in a lot of effort.They only do raw material processing, but there are so many profits. In fact, tea processing factories make more money than Guangdong, which grows tea.However, most of the money earned went to the national treasury, but not much remained.

This was all Chen Guang's idea. Whether it was the tea processing factory or the Hope Project, most of the money was given to the state treasury. Because of this, Chen Ang praised Chen Guang a lot.It is such a torture to collect taxes across the country every year. It may not be collected in full and on time, but the taxes from the tea processing factory and the Hope Project are iron-clad. They go directly to the national treasury without any losses, and the amount is Considerable, it's no wonder Chen Ang didn't praise Chen Guang.
