Natural rubber harvest season, Vermilion Oak development plan!
After a splendid fireworks show, Zhu Li began to plan his own fireworks and firework arrangement!
When he was free at night, he began to organize relevant professional knowledge in the study. At the same time, he instructed Geng Qing and the others to start searching for craftsmen who specialized in making fireworks!
As for the rest of the time, Zhu Li would spend as much time as possible with Noble Consort Zhou and Zhu Xiaqiu!
After all, he had been in seclusion for ten days without being able to spend time with the people closest to him. Zhu Li also felt that it was inappropriate for this to continue!
No matter how busy he was with work, he still had to spend time with his family!
This period of time was also the happiest time for Noble Consort Zhou and Zhu Xiaqiu after the death of the Han Princess Consort Yang!
On this day, Zhu Li was accompanying Noble Consort Zhou and Zhu Xiaqiu in the manor. Geng Qing had led a group of personal guards over in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
"Just say it!"
Zhu Li went straight to the point.
In front of his biological mother and son, there was no secret that he could not tell.
"Your Highness, the things sent from the border of Yunnan have already arrived outside the city!”
Geng Qing reported to Zhu Li.
Zhu Li's eyes lit up!
Just when he was annoyed, Zhu Li activated the system and once bought a batch of rubber tree seeds from the system!
However, northwestern regions like Hanzhong Prefecture were not suitable for planting rubber trees!
The most suitable place to plant rubber trees was still the island country in Southeast Asia!
In Da Ming's case, even Qiongzhou (Hainan Island), and even Guangdong and Guangxi could barely do it!
However, in order to hide it from the public, Zhu Li still sent people to the southernmost part of the border of Yunnan Province. They chose an old forest in the deep mountains where the environment and temperature were the closest and most suitable for the growth of rubber trees. Then, they secretly sent people to start planting rubber trees!
It had already been six years, and the first batch of rubber trees had reached the time to harvest natural rubber!
The goods from Yunnan referred to the sealed barrels of natural rubber!
If Hanzhong Prefecture really wanted to develop and advance into the industrial field, the existence of rubber was an indispensable tool!
He had been planning this for many years, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards!
"How many barrels?"
Zhu Li hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness, there are a total of 200 carts and about 5000 barrels. They will arrive in batches within three months. Currently, there are 20 carts and 500 barrels!”
Geng Qing directly stated the number.
"A total of 5000 barrels? It seemed that the quantity was still too little! There was no way to plant rubber trees on a large scale in Yunnan, and the survival rate was relatively low. It seemed that he had to choose a more suitable area to plant rubber trees on a large scale in the future!”
"With this amount of rubber, we can barely guarantee the early rubber research and small batch production!”
"Let's make sure that we can use it first!”
Zhu Li was somewhat disappointed when he heard this number, but it was actually within his expectations.
If there was a chance in the future, he would see if he could directly go to Qiongzhou to carry out large-scale planting!
"Li 'er, what did you get from Yunnan? So many?"
Noble Consort Zhou, who was at the side, was confused and could not help but ask curiously.
"Since Imperial Mother is interested, then follow your son out of the city to take a look!”
Zhu Li did not hide it from Noble Consort Zhou. He thought that Noble Consort Zhou could give the old man a pillow talk and send two letters back. Perhaps the old man would agree to let him plant rubber in Qiongzhou!
He wasn't afraid that the imperial court would have any ideas about rubber!
After all, he knew how to use rubber and how to make rubber products!
The reason why he needed rubber was firstly to make tires, and secondly, some rubber needed for industrial use!
For example, some mechanical seals required rubber, and rubber was also used in the production of guns!
Of course, these were all things for the future. If he wanted rubber technology to be put to use, it would definitely not work without years of accumulation!
However, making rubber tires and then repairing the cement road was something that Zhu Li could do immediately!
Soon, Zhu Li brought Noble Consort Zhou and his son, Zhu Xiaqiu, to the rubber factory that had been prepared outside the city!
All the rubber would be sent here from Yunnan, and then the equipment and ingredients purchased by Zhu Li would be used to produce rubber tires.
The reason why there was no action in the past few years was that natural rubber would take at least five to six years to harvest. Secondly, Zhu Li could only buy things in the system once a day!
However, the system said that as long as he could reach the True Human Realm, he could upgrade the system store. At that time, the number of times he could buy things every day would increase!
Below the True Human Realm, one could only use it once a day. At the True Human Realm, one could use it up to ten times a day. At the Heavenly Master Realm, there was no limit to the amount of gold one could buy, provided that one had enough gold to buy things continuously!
One had to know that the cost of purchasing items in the system store was not small either. If Zhu Li was really allowed to buy as much as he wanted, he would not be able to control himself!
In front of Noble Consort Zhou, Zhu Li directly opened a sealed rubber barrel.
Natural rubber had to be sealed and stored. If it was exposed to the air for a long time, it would deteriorate and solidify!
"What…what are these white things?”
When Noble Consort Zhou saw that there was actually some milky white liquid in the bucket, her face revealed an even more surprised expression!
Zhu Li directly told Noble Consort Zhou about the use of this natural rubber.
When Noble Consort Zhou heard that this milky white liquid could actually produce the tires needed for vehicles, her face was even more shocked!
According to Zhu Li, as long as the wheels of the car were installed with these things called tires, the car could run faster and more steadily!
Even a cart that could only be pulled by ordinary cows and horses could be pulled by hand!
If it was really as Zhu Li said, it was definitely something good!
What made Noble Consort Zhou unable to understand was how her son knew about such a good thing and how he knew how to use it.
Could it be that it was also cultivated?
"Your son is about to start building the road. When the time comes, starting from Hanzhong Prefecture, there will be a very spacious and flat cement road. If vehicles with tires drive on it, they will be able to travel faster and there will be no obvious bumps!”
Zhu Li also told Noble Consort Zhou that he was going to repair the cement road soon!
He had no intention of hiding it from the start. He even planned to let the old man know about this matter through Noble Consort Zhou!
Firstly, this kind of thing could not be hidden. Secondly, he needed the old master's support!
Noble Consort Zhou was the best medium!
According to Zhu Li's estimation, he would be able to build cement roads everywhere in Hanzhong within a year. In two years, he could even connect several important towns in the northwest with cement roads!
At that time, his rubber tires should be able to come in handy!
