It was a coincidence that the emperor was clearly far away in the capital, but he seemed to be against him, and just happened to destroy his final plan. It really succeeded. Qin Feng sighed: "You are so far away, your majesty can still separate the air."

It affects me."

"That's because the Southwest is still the territory of East Vietnam. How can he not have an advantage on his territory?" Xiao Lingyao mentioned that her biological father still had a somewhat complicated mood: "Is His Majesty really planning to reorganize the Southwest? Let the Southwest rise from now on?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Impossible. Just building a road will take countless years. If the southwest wants to develop, in addition to local mineral and agricultural resources, it can only rely on trade. However, the official roads are in disrepair and there are

Many areas don’t even have good roads.”

"With this situation, how can the southwest develop? If we want to build roads? First connect the southwest, which is well connected in all directions. Coupled with the current situation that has been hollowed out, you also know the state of the national treasury. It is difficult."

"As for us, if the situation in the Southwest improves and Kuya has not crossed the Southwest, what can we use as an attraction to make them switch sides?" Qin Feng said with a bad smile: "Selfishly, it would be best to let the Southwest struggle for a few years."

Long Qi's scalp went numb when he heard it, and he felt that Qin Feng's thoughts were so deep and deep that he could hardly follow him. However, Xiao Lingyao seemed convinced. It was obvious that the two of them had regarded Southwest as prey and were bound to win.

While talking, Xiao Lingyao thought that the snowflake salt had been taken to the north by Su Baoer to try to open up the Northern Desert, and she couldn't help but think of another thing: "The snowflake salt can go to the North Desert by bypassing East Vietnam, but what about the coffee trees? What about the coffee trees?

how?"

When it comes to coffee trees, Qin Feng sighed in his heart and said: "This matter is still a bit troublesome. Liang Bai did successfully plant coffee trees, but only a few successfully bore fruit. Those were all transplanted from the mountains and planted by him earlier.

Later, they were transplanted directly."

Xiao Lingyao heard a word - hanging fruit.

Just from the literal meaning, I know it means the result.

It takes five years for a coffee tree to bear fruit, and it cannot be used again after fifteen years. The coffee beans can only be harvested after their skin turns red. Different types of coffee have different harvesting periods. Now Liangbai has already harvested this season. This season

It is produced from February to April, which is the peak fruiting period.

However, due to the limited number of transplanted fruit trees that can bear fruit, the output is still not much even during the fruiting period. Qin Feng worked hard to build a shelling machine and used the drying method to dry the coffee fruits. The first batch of coffee beans has been produced. Now,

How to use it, he is still considering.

The harvested Zhuangzi was nominally under the name of He An. Qin Feng went there several times in disguise and had a heated fight with Liang Bai. Later, he moved a batch of fruit-bearing coffee trees to Kuya, and Liang Bai continued the rest.

Take care of.

"So it turns out that the yield is too low?" Xiao Lingyao said: "Liang Bai can find wild coffee trees from the mountains. The landform and climate here are basically the same as those in the southwest. Why not follow my mother's example and look for coffee trees again?"

Qin Feng slapped his legs. This is really a stupid method that only lazy people can think of. Liang Bai originally discovered it elsewhere and moved it to Zhuangzi. Why can't he use it directly? Although there are coffee trees in the southwest, no one knows how to roast them. What's more,

I don’t know how to enjoy this thing.

Snowflake salt and coffee beans were Qin Feng's exclusive products as he prepared to attack other countries' trade, and both were indispensable. He immediately made a decision, sent people to see what the coffee trees looked like, and then sent a team of troops to search for coffee trees in the bitter cliff.

And planting can’t be delayed, just continue planting!

Qin Feng always acted responsibly, and he would do it as soon as he thought of it. When he brought the refined salt to Beiguan with the intention of importing it into the Northern Desert, he also delivered the first batch of coffee beans and their drinking methods to Jiangbei, and delivered them to Liu Changsheng.

A month later, a drink called coffee suddenly became famous in the south of the Yangtze River. It was completely different from the tea in the past. After boiling, adding beef tallow and sugar, it had a wonderful taste. Not only that, it was also refreshing and could keep people healthy.

Not sleepy for half a day.

Some people even say that after drinking it, they can study hard all night without feeling sleepy!

Unfortunately, this product seems to be extremely rare, and there are only a handful of people who can drink it. After it was introduced to the Sui Dynasty through unknown channels, it became the new favorite of high-ranking officials. Unfortunately, there was only one purchasing channel - a little-known trading house in Jiangbei.

And the quantity is extremely rare. Because it is so popular, it is hard to find a jar. You often have to wait for a long time after paying a deposit. It is really rare to be valuable. The more so, a steady stream of money still goes into the Jiangbei trading house.

In pocket.

Changes also occurred in Beiguan and Beimo at the same time. Especially for Beimo, a kind of edible salt called snowflake salt suddenly became popular. It is more delicate than refined salt and tastes faster. It suddenly became popular in the upper reaches of Beimo.

It became popular in the circle.

Not only that, Beimo also found another channel to get rid of Nanyang's salt control and began to import ordinary refined salt from merchants in Beiguan. Snowflake salt was used for the enjoyment of the lower class, and the common people got more refined salt.

In just three months, no one knew that these two commodities came from a place that few people knew about, and another three months passed in Kuya. From spring to summer, the seasons changed, and the original only building

The palace in one corner is finally more than half built.

Under the advice of Lin Guogong and others, Qin Feng made small changes to the layout of the palace. For example, his bedroom was almost next to the Xiaoyun Palace where he worked, which made it easier for him to pass and save a lot of time.

Xiao Lingyao went with him to the Huaying Palace. This was also agreed upon by the two of them beforehand, and the treasury was built in the center. Under Qin Feng's design, it became a three-story building above and below ground.

The biggest difference from Dongyue and Daqi is that Qin Feng built a palace specifically for studying new things. It is located on the east side of Huaying Palace and can be reached by walking a few meters. Qin Feng had already said that

, does not require large width, and is mainly practical.

At the insistence of everyone, Qin Feng retained the Hanyuan Hall, which was used to hold court celebrations. Historically, important events of the dynasty required sacrifices, worship and even palace banquets here. Outside the Huaying Hall were many residential functions.

palace.

The most eye-catching thing is the office area. Because it is a system of three provinces and six ministries, the palace has specially set up office areas for the three provinces and six ministries.

arrive.

To save time and improve efficiency, Qin Feng didn't care that he had to build a palace as grand as Dongyue in the early stage. Everything was pragmatism. As in the past, he had to go through half the palace to report something. How much time would be wasted?
