In the first month of the 25th year of Zhenguan, Long Hao, who came to Wuhan from Jiannan to "beg for alms", accompanied Zhang De by taking part in it. Wu Shun gave birth to a son, "Long Zhang Zhixi" to give some affordable ivory pairs, which were very large... Lao Zhang once thought that Long Hao dug up the corpse of a mammoth.

"Sir, no matter what this year, I have to borrow some more people to give it to me. In addition to people, I also need to pick up horses. Forget about the ox, now horse plowing is easier than ox plowing."

Although Sichuan and Dian horses are short, they are more useful than anything else when walking in the mountains. They are hard-working and can survive without essential materials. It is difficult for them to be smaller than donkeys.

In the morning, I ate noodles in the canteen of Jianghan Observation Mansion. When Long Hao came out of the village, he liked to eat fried fish noodles in the canteen of the mansion.

The fish pieces of big green carp or big grass carp are floured and oiled, and then braised to make a sweet braised flavor. The marinade is noodle soup, and the fried fish is toppings. It doesn’t matter whether the noodles are good or bad. It’s just that the sweet fish aroma is smelly. It must not be missed.

While eating fish pieces, Zhang De on the side of the big round table with long eyes, Lao Zhang was chewing the noodles. He didn't care what he ate in the morning. Zhang De ate noodles today. Because officials from the mansion who came from the inner court naturally had some variety in the canteen, such as dumpling soup, noodles, and yellow steamed buns.

Holding the pickled buns in his hand, Lao Zhang held the chopsticks and pondered for a while, and asked Long Hao: "Is the road repair not going well?"

"It's not just a bad situation. I died more than 300 times last year, and my head was too big, and more people died in war."

Long Ritian was so bitter that it was all good. The year before yesterday and the year before yesterday was fine, but last year, the gunpowder was used frequently, and there were too many squins, and then there were more idiots who were trying to die. If they wanted to die, they would die a team of people. The worst thing was that they encountered a landslide in the trailhead. They worked hard at more than 70 at one time. At that time, Long Ritian almost got angry.

Lao Zhang knew about this, but he didn't say anything. He did engineering, especially in harsh environments. Even if various technologies were so advanced that ordinary people thought they were alien technology, he still maintained an average of one kilometer that it might take a life to explain one life.

With such a technological level, it may be possible to fight the rustic tribe with "zero casualties".

However, Jiannan's business, whether it is the central court or the Jingchu official and business group, had to bite the bullet.

Who told this land to discover gold, silver and copper ore?

What's more, due to the upgrading of mechanical technology, the jewelry industry has also benefited from it, especially the jade processing industry. The newly added jade has become a "unicorn" and is highly sought after by official and business groups on both sides of the Yangtze River.

There is only one reason for the pursuit. The official and business groups on both sides of the Yangtze River spent money, and they spent a lot of money.

In addition to the bastards on both sides of the Yangtze River, there are also Empress Changsun in the center, and the Feng family and Xian family in Lingnan, all of whom have done articles on jadeite mines.

Typically, Empress Changsun, whom Ran had to express her tribute, so she had to endorse her, and wore a set of jade in some large banquet occasions... in addition to jade hats.

What is trend?

What the upper class plays is all trend!

Now that Long Hao has opened up in Jiannan, the main source of income is to transport ores. No matter what ore, he will finally make a profit.

As for opening up the fields, it is just to ensure famine. If China's food is not transported in, they can't starve to death.

Moreover, in order to effectively utilize the land, Wuhan has promoted different rations in different regions of Jiannan by summarizing various grain crops.

In addition to cold-resistant rice such as Lingdao, there are taro and betel nut taro. The latter has an extremely high yield, but unfortunately the starch content is almost certain, but it is more than enough to prevent famine.

The places where the monks defected to the Tang Dynasty were generally located in the south, so they began to promote bananas and bananas, with considerable yields and could also raise some semi-domestic elephants. For example, Fuzhou, Jianzhou and Guangzhou, elephants have become very important "domestic livestock".

The reason why elephants become "domestic animals" is because Wuhan provides technical support, among which several types of elephants are specially cultivated for elephants. Bananas and bananas are also one of the food rations for elephants.

It is also because of the breeding of elephants of a certain scale that these areas can transport wood from the mountainous areas smoothly. The efficiency of elephant teams to transport wood is much more convenient than rolling wood. Especially in these mountainous areas, the roads are special, with streams and rocky beaches everywhere, and some turbulence is mixed from time to time. This is almost impossible for humans to complete, but elephants can adapt to this special terrain.

But elephants still cannot become the seventh animal. The most important thing in the mountainous animal power is the Yunnan horse, Sichuan horse, etc., such as horse-holding, mules and donkeys, either they are not able to endurance or physical strength. Only by pulling horses is the first in the overall situation.

The most important thing is to save money.

Long Hao came here to "beg for alms" in person because a large number of horses were used for long-distance transportation. Among them, the number of horses to the plateau areas has remained at 3,000 or 4,000 for a long time. In Long Hao's opinion, what's the point? There is a bird in the wilderness, transporting yak jerky?

So before, he had the idea to bring the Fandi Horse Team evenly, but was both denied by the Central Committee and Wuhan, which made him suspicious of his life. As a last resort, he thought about whether to "beg for alms" in person.

Others have no choice but to have great powers. Maybe they can turn tens of thousands of horses into a random way to move their mouths?

"It is used to do engineering, repair terraces, and pick up horses. However, this Jiannan business would not require more horses."

"Where can you do it? Those wandering around the world want to keep them in Yunnan and not have a good life, so they won't stay for a long time. You can't just expect those magical barbarians to be able to charm their hearts, right? It's better to expect to raise a Gu."

"There is not enough money for gold, silver and copper mines?"

"There are too many monks and too little porridge, and I'll talk about it. Who from Chengdu is not the idea of ​​picking up ready-made ones? Can you protect me for a while? You can just open a proper financial resources to calculate the ball. There is a jade mine near the Tea Horse Road. This is a land where you can get rich. If you can get a thousand eight hundred horses, you can do this business and you can come to Wuhan to sell stones at that time."

Old Zhang suddenly laughed: "Okay, Long Wulang, you actually said that you made money so beautiful and unconventional. Well, you can't let you go for a waste. There are indeed many horses in Wuhan, not to mention a thousand or hundreds of horses, even tens of thousands of horses. But the journey to Yunnan will be a lot of casualties. If you think about a member of the horse farm, no matter how many people come out, they can just open a horse farm in Yunnan."

"That's the point!"

With Lao Zhang's permission, Long Hao was very happy. Half of the horse farm in Yunnan was not good, but if you talk about nomadic things, there were really many slopes and valleys. It was just that there were no professional talents, which was useless. It was natural to reproduction and eliminate them naturally, and tens of thousands of horses could not be saved for hundreds of years.

Building a horse farming field in Yunnan is mainly to maintain a certain amount of ownership, which is more or less the same as the planting of Lingji rice, in order to resist risks.

However, these days, the talents in the animal husbandry and breeding industry are all precious, and the "Jiahu Ling" in the imperial village is much better than the ordinary Baili Hou.

Therefore, if you want to rely on your feelings, please help me. The possibility is zero these days, and the feelings of family and country depend on people.

This is why Lao Zhang asked Long Hao to get a piece of the profit chain of jade.

"Stop waiting for the people who go to Yuemachang to take a bath at night, and just get this done."

Old Zhang was stunned, chewed a bite of pickled steamed buns, and then took out a stack of bath tickets from his pocket. "Well, I have a lot of bath tickets for 'long-term soup'. The bath scrubber there is really good income. If you make an appointment, go to Xianning City."

"What am I going to do so far? There are hot springs in Hanyang. I don't soak in hot springs, but instead take a bus across the river to Xianning City for dozens of miles?"

"If you want to go, go, so much nonsense!"

Bang!

He slapped the bath ticket on the table, and Long Hao smiled suddenly, got up and hurriedly packed the bath ticket: "Oh, the elder dare not refuse, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."
Chapter completed!
