Fu Bao thought for a while and said: "We have seen a lot along the way. Your tea farm is not short of water. It rained just a few days ago. There are still water drops on many tea leaves. Those dry and cracked land are your
Irrigation is not enough. Tea needs regular irrigation. It is far from enough for you to irrigate such a large area of tea trees just by your manpower. Why haven't you built canals?"
The leader couldn't help but take another look at Fu Bao, surprised that such a little milk baby knew so much.
"Yes, the climate in our southwest has always been rainy. In fact, these tea trees can be irrigated naturally. But starting from this year, some of these tea trees have begun to wither, and some are eaten by insects. We have no time to remove insects and weeds, so we have to dig ditches.
This is even more unfathomable, not to mention that water canals need to be led from top to bottom, and every tea mountain top has a lack of water." The leader said, shaking his head.
"What's more, the current fire fuel is also... ugh..." the leader suddenly said worriedly.
Yinying and the others did not expect that the tea farm would be like this now, and they were a little sad. Tea is an ancestral industry in the southwest.
Just when Fubao and others were about to go down the mountain, two tribesmen came over carrying rich tea leaves.
"Are these fertilizers?"
Jiang Li knew that the tea leaves themselves could be used to fertilize the tea, but he saw that the leaves were a bit too black and yellow, so he asked.
"Hmm." The leader seemed to know what they wanted to say, and ordered the two tribesmen to seize the time to bury the fertilizer evenly, while saying, "This year's tea leaves are also very strange, and the color of the fertilization is this."
Fu Bao suddenly remembered something. He opened the tea recipe and read to the end. He saw some notes about tea plantation at the end, and he finally smiled suddenly.
"I know!" Fu Bao smiled excitedly and quietly told his three uncles about his discovery.
Jiang Li and others suddenly had an idea.
"Lead the way, we already have a way to solve the crisis in your tea farm." Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The leader and Yin Ying both looked at them in surprise, especially Yin Ying. What he immediately looked at was Fu Bao. Is it space?
Fubao was sitting on Jiang Li's shoulders and playing with Jiang Li's hair, but he was communicating with the system in his mind.
"System, I want to draw a blind box."
Fu Bao drew three at once, and finally found something that satisfied her.
Three things were extracted from the three blind boxes.
The volcanic stone and a mutated seed purple tea were added together with the fattening pond that she was satisfied with.
Then she took the tea recipe in her hand and studied it carefully. Unexpectedly, this tea recipe was also very useful. This was a new method of making tea. A new kind of tea could be obtained by simply drying it in the sun.
She handed the tea recipe to Jiang Shou and asked her uncle to take the opportunity to make the tea later, and asked Zuo Su to help her uncle.
Didn't this woman promise her service? Now she can use it.
With the hope of solving the problem, Fubao felt relieved, and with Jiang Li in his arms, he quickly arrived in front of a row of bamboo houses under the gaze of the tribesmen.
"Clan leader, someone wants to see you."
The leader just yelled and left. He didn't want to be scolded by the clan leader and ran away quickly.
Seeing the figure walking away in a hurry, Silver Shadow twitched the corner of his mouth. The next second, he saw a figure break out of the window and shouted loudly: "Who? Who wants to see me?"
The man looked to be no more than forty years old, tall and strong. If he had not seen someone as imposing as the Southwest King, Fu Bao would have been frightened. He was also a man with a bad temper.
"Brother Mu, don't be so reckless all the time. It won't be good if you scare the children." Another person walked out of the bamboo house, but this person was slightly thinner. Although he had deep circles under his eyes, he had a gentle look on his face. smile.
"Hmph, why are you looking for me?" Mu Xi then saw Yin Ying, "Yin Ying, you brought the outsider in? I think you are itchy. Don't think that because you have a broken bird, I am afraid of you. Come on, little lady, don’t always come to my teahouse and don’t do anything for me.”
Silver Shadow smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "It's not me, it was the king who allowed them to come."
"King?" Mu Xi lowered his voice and looked closer to the two little children. He could tell at a glance that these two people were the center of the team, "Really? What are you doing here?"
Mu Xi seemed to recognize the black ghost. The black ghost snorted coldly. He immediately left Yu Wenyan's face, knelt down on one knee and said, "I have met the prince."
"Yes." Yu Wenyan responded lightly, "This is Princess Jiang Zhao of Kyoto. Is she here to do business with you?"
"Kyoto?" Mu Xi's voice changed, and even Luo Luo looked at them in disbelief.
"Oh, we have settled in a corner of the southwest for the sake of a stable life. I don't care if you, the ruined royal family, are scheming in Kyoto and shouting to kill you. But if you want to invade our territory in the southwest, I will be the first to refuse." He slapped his chest fiercely, and suddenly He came closer to Fu Bao and stared at her fiercely.
"You think our Southwest Iron Cavalry are vegetarians. If you want to make profits from us, I think your little emperor really made the wrong calculation. Don't think I don't know. The Wei family has been eyeing our tea for a long time. This piece of fat , let him not think that it will be impossible in this life."
Mu Xi was stunned as he spoke. Unexpectedly, Fu Bao didn't even blink under his intimidation.
So he had to stand up and look at her coldly.
"Yes, we will never do this imperial business. It's not just the teahouse in Muxi. If you go out, any teahouse will not agree. Isn't it enough that the people of the southwest are oppressed by you in Kyoto? All of us are the same You are not willing to compromise, little girl, you have come to the wrong place." Luo Luo said gently, but the attitude in his words was still the same.
"The southwest is remote. If every tea merchant wants to go down the mountain to sell tea, he has to walk for two days to reach the nearest market. Therefore, although tea is the best thing to taste, the profit is changing hands layer by layer. Tea merchants must sell it. It is given to the tea collector, who then transfers it to major trading houses. After continuous processing, it is transferred to a higher-level chamber of commerce. Only then can the tea be sold to buyers with the ability to taste it and be sold at a good price." Jiang Li said while waving his fan.
"But how many of these prices reach the hands of tea merchants?" Jiang Li said with a smile, "The output rate of top-quality tea in a year is extremely low, and it is time-consuming and laborious to sell it at a high price, so your southwest tea The tea has always been tepid."
Luo Luo and Mu Xi were told what they were thinking.
"Whether our tea sells well or not is determined by destiny. You don't need to worry about the royal family. Let's go. I don't welcome you."
"If you follow us, we will build an official road here. While safety is guaranteed, tea can be directly provided to the hands of wealthy businessmen and officials through major post stations. There will be no reason for middlemen to make money. One or two bamboo leaves are green. Now you can only sell 10 taels to merchants, but if you do business with us, you can sell 100 taels..." Jiang Li threw out the bait.
