I, fused with Vegeta, invaded the reincarnation space - #119 - Chapter 119
The people who have planted rubber trees in Yunnan are basically among the first batch to eat crabs and their mouths are full of oil! Although Zhu Kai cut down a batch of rubber trees first, he did not treat the farmers badly and gave them very objective compensation!.
“Can we also get a batch of rubber raw materials from Yunnan from those farmers?”
Fu Youde suddenly asked at this time.
The main reason is that King Su has started to make money by selling this rubber tire carriage, and he is still making a lot of money, so they are also jealous!
“Huh, don’t think so much of this!”
“You don’t even think about it, even if the rubber raw materials are given to you, will you be able to refine the rubber?”
“Do you know how to make rubber tires?”
“So far, only Su Wang Zhu Mei has such refining technology, so don’t even think about it!”
When Feng Sheng heard this, he snorted disapprovingly.
Upon hearing this, several Huaixi nobles who were originally eager to give it a try were immediately discouraged!”In fact, it is not impossible to cooperate with King Su!”
“At worst, King Su will eat meat, so we should be fine if we drink some soup too!”
Lan Yu thought and spoke slowly at this time.
It is definitely unrealistic to snatch food from Zhu Lai’s mouth. In fact, Lan Yu has already seen through it!
Su Wang Zhu Lai has almost monopolized all the high-ranking officials.
Profitable industries, at least in the northwest!
They have thought about imitating refined salt, rubber, discolored ceramics, and the briquettes they just invented, but they simply don’t have the ability to do so!
It’s even more nonsense to get technical formulas from the state!
If you don’t do it well, you can easily offend King Su, but the gain outweighs the losses!
However, any one of these industries is enough to make everyone jealous, and the profit is quite high!
Ah!
In fact, making money is secondary, the more important thing is monopoly!
Especially for refined salt, the future price and pricing of this product are completely decided by King Su alone.
Even the court must listen to King Su.
Just give me your opinion!
Who said this thing was produced by others?
In a blink of an eye, it is already July of the 24th year of Hongwu! Recently, the supply of briquettes produced in the northwest has begun to exceed the supply in the south!
I also heard that many people in Yingtian Mansion are hoarding briquettes, planning to use them during the winter!
However, this briquettes are good, but they are expensive and have no market. Basically, there are caravans transporting them from the northwest, and they may be sold on the same day. People bought it out, which shows how popular this briquette is, mainly because it is affordable and easy to use, and ordinary people can afford it!
“Dad, the briquettes made by this old man are really good!”
“The public is full of praise for briquettes, but unfortunately it seems that the production has not kept up, and most people can’t buy it even if they want to!”
In the imperial study, Zhu Biao was also discussing with Zhu Yuanzhang about briquettes.
“Do you really think it’s a production problem?”
“There is definitely no problem with the reserves of briquettes. The news has come back from Ganzhou. The biggest problem at the moment is actually the transportation problem!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sighed helplessly…….
Such a good thing, which benefits the country and the people, cannot be transported conveniently from Ganzhou to various places in the Ming Dynasty. This is the real crux!”Transportation problem?”
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood.
Indeed, although briquettes are cheap, they are not light!
How much can a carriage pull?
Moreover, it is a long journey, traveling through mountains and rivers, so transportation is definitely inconvenient!
Moreover, although the price of briquettes here in Yingtianfu is very cheap, compared with that in Ganzhou, the price is still much higher!
The main reason is that the transportation cost is relatively high!
“Biao’er, we plan to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to build cement roads.
At least the cement road from Ganzhou to Yingtian must be built first.
What do you think?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the subject and asked.
In fact, he has always been thinking about building a cement road, but he just needs a suitable reason to bring it up! Now is an excellent opportunity!”It should cost a lot of money to build a cement road, right?”
“Moreover, things like cement were also made by Lao Shi4, and it seems that they can only be found in Ganzhou!”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately understood what the old man meant, but at the same time he frowned with some worry!
This is indeed a good thing, but it is still quite difficult to really make it work!.
