I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 579, Tea

When talking about agricultural modernization, Xu Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered an unprecedented large market. The market outlook of this market is even synonymous with the Chinese dynasty in later generations, but in this era, it has just been enlightened, and not many people even know about it!But this industry is more suitable for Yanzhou now.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "I just remembered an industry that has developed to be more profitable than the glass industry. Now it depends on whether you have the ability to develop this industry well."

Huang Long said in surprise, "What industry!"

The glass industry in Jizhou earns billions a year. If it is more profitable than the glass industry, it must not exceed tens of billions.

We must know that the current fiscal revenue of Daqian is only more than 400 billion, and 2 billion is already close to 3-[-]% of the fiscal revenue of the entire Daqian. If Yanzhou really has this money, he no longer has to worry about the development of Yanzhou.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "There are many hills in Yanzhou, where tea trees can be planted and tea gardens can be established. Tea can not only cure all diseases, but as long as the herdsmen in the north drink tea, they can't lack tea at all. There is no disease. With the current number of herdsmen in the desert, this is a market with a population of tens of millions. If you add our large cadres to the population, you can say that you can consume as much tea as you have. If this industry really develops, Not much worse than the silk industry."

Just kidding, the three industries that make the most money are the silk industry, tea and porcelain industries. These three industries have helped the Celestial Dynasty earn money for thousands of years. The money they make can be said to be gold and silver. .

Huang Long doubted: "Tea? I have lived in the desert for several years, why haven't I heard that herdsmen have the habit of drinking tea?"

Huang Long seriously suspected that Xu Wei was fooling him. You must know that the Dagan Army came from the north to fight, and the barbarians he met really didn't have the habit of drinking tea.

Xu Wei just remembered at this time that although tea has a history of thousands of years in Chinese civilization, and there is even a legend about Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs and relying on tea to detoxify, it is because of this legend that tea has a history of thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicinal materials have always been used, and in the Han Dynasty, there was a culture of drinking tea, but it has not been popularized to the lower classes.

Xu Wei could only explain to Huang Long: "Do the herdsmen who come to us in winter especially like to eat vegetables?"

Huang Long nodded and said: "I really like it very much. Even though there are few vegetables in winter, it is rare for herdsmen to like it as much. No matter how expensive they are, they still have to spend money to buy some to taste!"

Huanglong knows this. With the availability of glass, glass greenhouses have been built in wealthy counties and counties in Dagan, where a large amount of vegetables can be grown for the people to eat in winter, but because the price is too expensive, only the people in Dagan They only buy a small amount during festivals, and the only exceptions are those herdsmen. Even if they don’t have much money, they still have to buy some to try. Anyway, they are more fanatical about these winter vegetables than the Dagan tribe!

Xu Wei explained: "The herdsmen's love of eating vegetables is closely related to their eating habits. Herdsmen living in the prairie usually have three meals a day, and their tables are basically beef and mutton. But the long-term Maintaining such eating habits will cause certain damage to your own digestive system. Because as meat food, the oil and fat content in it are relatively high. It doesn’t matter if you eat a small amount, but eating a lot will affect people’s health. To change the state of the body, you need to eat some light food, or fruits and vegetables to balance the nutritional relationship."

"Can this tea be used as a vegetable?" Huang Long asked in a low voice.

There are many words Xu Wei said that Huang Long didn’t understand, but he did understand that the herdsmen on the grassland ate too much greasy food like cattle and sheep, and wanted vegetables even more. There is no place for food, let alone grow vegetables, so they like to eat vegetables so much every time they come to the northern towns.

The ruling said that tea seems to be something to help herdsmen replace melons, fruits and vegetables, and to relieve greasy things. After all, there are not many vegetables in summer, but vegetables in winter are really unaffordable for rich families.

Xu Wei smiled and said: "That's right, tea can replace vegetables to relieve boredom. Vegetables are difficult to grow on the grassland, let alone the grass does not grow in winter. But on the grassland where we want to transport the vegetables in our pass, Even vegetables in summer are more expensive than vegetables in winter. Not many herdsmen can afford such a high price, but tea is different. The tea cakes made into tea cakes are very small, and one catty is enough for a herdsman to use for a whole winter. , and even if the price of a catty of tea is 100 yuan, it is cheaper than winter vegetables, and it is also convenient to transport. But if you sell it in Yanzhou for 100 yuan per catty, you will make a lot of money.”

And regardless of the herdsmen on the grasslands, we have 3000 million people in Dagan, and there are tens of millions of people in the Western Regions. People in other parts of the world will also want tea. It can be said that this is an extremely broad market. The tea industry is developing well. There is no need to worry about the sales of tea in the first 10 years. It is easy to earn tens or even tens of billions a year!
Xu Wei said that the market prospect is so broad, Huang Long nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as the ruling said. After returning to Yanzhou, establish tea and develop cash crops!"

But after Huanglong left, Wang Guojun, Zhang Baiqi, Zhao Rong and even Yang Feng also came to ask Xu Wei for help. Although their land was well developed, no one would dislike it, and there were many industries on their own land.

Zhang Baiqi and the others have been farming the world with Xu Wei for more than ten years, and they have learned nothing. They naturally know the importance of a new industrial chain for local development, especially Zhang Baiqi, when Xu Wei helped him create a The glass industry has made Jizhou the wealthiest state in Daqian. Even Bingzhou has not as many small coffers as Jizhou. Back then, Zhang Baiqi relied on the support of the glass factory to build infrastructure in Jizhou.

So when Zhang Baiqi saw Xu Wei, he was the first to yell: "Government, we know that Wang Lei and Huang Long have come to see you. Seeing their beaming faces, it is obvious that you have gained a lot from you. You You can’t favor one over the other!”

Yang Feng also immediately said: "That's right, everyone should be treated equally!"

Xu Wei said unhappily: "It's okay for Zhao Rong and the others, but Yuzhou and Sili are still on the front line, and war is your top priority!"

In Xu Wei's view, Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi are at the forefront of confrontation with the big man, and how to defeat the big man is what they should think about.
