Live as the emperor

Chapter 105 Tea Processing Factory

This Wu Zhu said that he was the prince, but Chen Guang didn't quite believe it at first. To be honest, even if you were caught by the police for stealing, you wouldn't give up your family property immediately.

But if you bring your ID card, it will be different.

Generally, the royal family will have a badge that can prove their identity, just like the gold medal that was made into gold powder when Chen Guang went out last time, that is his ID card.

Naturally, Wu Zhu also had it. He knew that he had fallen into Chen Guang's hands, and he would not be able to escape even if he played tricks. After a body search, everything came out, so he showed the sign to Chen Guang himself. After Chen Guang saw it, this Only then did I feel confident and bold to cooperate with him.

Wu Zhu took Chang Yan and the two left contentedly, while Chen Guang had more thoughts.

Wu Zhu is a character beyond his plan, but through this character beyond his plan, he also got many things he wanted beyond his plan.

The first is of course tea. Once this thing is promoted and becomes a popular drink, the demand for raw materials is incalculable.It is not like a multi-spindle spinning machine that can be made with wood and two people knocking in a room.Planting tea takes time, manpower, vast land and suitable climatic conditions.Most of the Qian Dynasty is located in the central part of this continent, where it is relatively dry and not humid enough, and tea requires a lot of water.

In this way, it is unrealistic to plant tea on a large scale in the central area of ​​the Qian Dynasty, and it is also a troublesome thing for Chen Guang to send people to manage it when he finds a suitable place.So it's better to let Wu Zhu do this matter, they have suitable climate conditions, and at the same time, Guangdong also needs such a deal to improve their economic strength.

Chen Guang was not at all worried that the Cantonese Congress would not do their best in growing tea.Although he has never been to Guangdong and doesn't know much about this country, it can be seen from the fact that Wu Zhu traveled thousands of miles to Qianguo to find multi-spindle spinning machines as a prince, how urgent they are for economic power.They couldn't resist the temptation to sell twenty catties of raw tea for one tael of silver.

In the end, Chen Guang decided to build a tea processing factory at the border between Qianguo and Guangdong.The two old masters of Prince Jin's Mansion had their final home, and Chen Guang could also send some people to serve as apprentices for them to produce tea.

The border between Gan Kingdom and Guangdong is a mountain range, where there are few people, so the probability of these tea masters contacting the outside world and leaking the secret recipe is greatly reduced, and it is difficult to preserve raw tea. Building a factory at the foot of the mountain can Guarantee the quality of tea to the greatest extent.

Such a process is perfect, the only thing that makes Chen Guang heartbroken is that he just bought a house for two tea masters, if you, Wu Zhu, find some, I won't have to spend this money?
A month passed in a blink of an eye. The country of Qian, which took over Chen Guo and Ge Guo, has a much larger land area. Chen Ang sent many people there to live there. To put it bluntly, it is to assimilate the two countries. People, when everyone is inextricably linked, it is almost impossible to rebel and regain their own country.Politicians since ancient times have been very proficient in using this trick, and I don't know if it is a natural skill blessing.

It is worth mentioning that on the day when the people of Qian State entered Ge State, Ge Wei, the emperor of Ge State, died. Hearing that he died of illness, Chen Ang ordered a generous burial.

Later, Wu Zhu sent a message from Guangdong that he had planted [-] mu of tea trees among the mountains and forests in the west of Guangdong, waiting to harvest the tea, hoping that Chen Guang would keep his promise and come to harvest the tea.In order to show his sincerity, Chen Guang directly sent two thousand bolts of cloth to Wu Zhu.

The mountains at the border between Qian Kingdom and Guangdong Kingdom belong to this side of Qian Kingdom. A huge stone city rises from the open space.Why build a stone city?Because there are high mountains all around, and some are stones, local materials can not only level the land, but also save financial and material resources, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After the stone city was built, it was used as a special tea production base. Chen Guang took several tea production methods from netizens and asked the masters inside to do it.Except for the two who made tea at the beginning, these masters are all carefully selected. After checking their family background, they are all innocent and have experience in making tea, so they should be able to get started quickly.

During this period of time, everything in the Hope Project was running according to his expectations, creating a steady stream of profits and employment, and he was praised by the government and the opposition.

But what he cares most about is the tea garden in Guangdong.He communicated with Wu Zhu through letters, and it was said that the tea trees were growing well, so Chen Guang was relieved.

Cloth was continuously shipped to Guangdong, and of course Guangdong paid for it.Their demand is very high, which also has the advantage that they hope that the project can be produced desperately, and they are not afraid that the products produced will not be sold.

Not long after, Chen Guang received a letter from Wu Zhu, saying that the first batch of tea leaves was ready to be picked.This made Chen Guang very excited. After saying hello to Chen Ang, he took his entourage to the tea processing factory located at the border of Qian State and Guangdong State.

This processing plant occupies a very large area, and is built with stones to form a stone wall half a person's height. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the land is occupied first. This can be regarded as inheriting the great tradition of the Chinese people.

When Chen Guang arrived here, it was quiet.Because it is located in a mountainous area, the nearest towns are hundreds of miles away. Apart from the tea technicians and a group of cooks, there is no one else here, so it is not quiet.

Oh, by the way, there are still 1000 defenders. In such a place, [-] soldiers were directly stationed here. It can be seen that Chen Guang attaches great importance to this place.

Chen Guang led the team to the gate. This gate is also made of stone. If the rough exterior is covered with lime and some patterns, it will be [-]% similar to the triumphal arch in foreign countries. .

When he got to the door, Wu Xin went up and called for the door.

That's right, what Chen Guang brought out this time was his own mysterious Wu family squad, the personal guards that he subdued when he hoped for the project.

The defender was sent by Chen Guang, so he naturally knew Chen Guang and hurriedly invited Chen Guang and his party in.

After a period of construction, the place has begun to take shape, although it looks very simple - after all, all houses are made of stones, and there are so many towering trees in the yard, it seems that they have entered the primitive society at once. .

Entering through the gate, Chen Guang dismounted. A soldier came over and took the reins and took him away.Chen Guang walked along the stone road to a big house in the middle, which was the center of the tea manufacturing factory.

Because the raw materials for the tea have not yet arrived, everyone seems to be doing nothing. Before walking a few steps, Chen Guang met an old man. Peng.He was a tea maker in Beijing before, and was hired by Chen Guang with a high salary.

At this time, Sun Peng was walking the birds and sitting under a tree.Seeing Chen Guang, he suddenly looked very surprised, and said, "Why is His Royal Highness King Jin here?"

Chen Guang said with a smile: "Master Sun is so elegant, why don't you still walk the birds?"

A bird rested on Sun Peng's arm, with gray feathers, Chen Guang couldn't even recognize what kind of bird it was.As soon as Sun Peng raised his arm, the bird flew away. He said: "The environment here is good. I listen to the birds singing every day, and my heart is itchy, so I raised one. How can His Royal Highness come here when you have time?"

"Not bad, it seems that your life won't be so comfortable when I come here this time. Yueguo said that tea is coming here. We have made an appointment to trade at the border tomorrow. You will have something to do in the future."

"It's good to have something to do. We've been playing here for so many days and we're too lazy to do something." Sun Peng said with a smile.

The old man is good at this, he can't be idle, and he will be anxious with you if you don't let him do things. It's not like the young people nowadays, they can't wait to be decadent every day.

Chen Guang asked again: "Are you familiar with the production methods and processes of the tea leaves I gave you earlier?"

Sun Peng said to himself: "I already know it by heart. However, many people below have never made tea, so I may not be able to grasp it just by telling them, and I have to practice it."

This is what it should be. If you have enough theoretical knowledge but not enough practice, you will never be able to make good works. Theory guides practice, and practice confirms theory. This is the correct way to open up.

"Don't be afraid, it's necessary to practice your hands first. I never thought that you can make the best tea with the first hand. This requires continuous practice. Don't be afraid of wasting materials. The waste now is for the sake of not wasting in the future." Chen Light reassured him.

Next, Chen Guang met with other people from the tea factory and rested for a night. The next morning, he took the Wu family class to the border.

The mountain on the border is a primeval forest, comparable to what is found in the depths of Xishuangbanna in that world. The trees with a height of tens of meters have bare trunks, but there is a canopy at the top, and people standing next to them look very small.There is also the tree species with intricate aerial roots, which is very strange.

There is no road in the forest at all, and it took a long way to reach the official road, which extends directly to the border checkpoint.It is said to be an official road, but in fact it is just a mountain road that has been cleared of trees and weeds.

The two countries are separated by mountains, and this checkpoint is basically a symbolic meaning, because who would climb such a high mountain and turn it over?In the era when there was no concept of smuggling, it was normal for people to pass through the border. The army could not get through here, so there was no need to station troops. It is precisely because of the mountains that Guangdong has very good exchanges with other countries. So few, that even when Chen Guang came to this world, he couldn't find many records about this country in the books.
