The common people who planted rubber trees in Yunnan were basically the first to try it out and enjoyed it! Although Zhu Jian cut a batch of rubber trees first, he did not treat the farmers unfairly and gave them very objective compensation! .

"Can we get some of the rubber raw materials in Yunnan from those farmers?"

Fu Youde asked suddenly.

The main reason is that the Su Wang has started to make money by selling carriages with rubber tires, and they are also jealous!

"Hmph, don't make such a big deal!"

"Don't think about it. Even if you are given the rubber raw materials, can you refine rubber?"

"Do you know how to make rubber tires?"

"So far, only the Su Wang Zhu Jian has such refining technology, so don't even think about it!"

Feng Sheng snorted disapprovingly when he heard this.

Hearing this, the Huaixi nobles who were eager to try were immediately discouraged! "In fact, it is not impossible to cooperate with the Su Wang!"

"At most, the Su Wang eats meat, and we should be fine to drink some soup!"

Lan Yu pondered and spoke slowly at this time.

It is definitely unrealistic to want to snatch food from Zhu Yu's mouth. In fact, Lan Yu has seen through this a long time ago!

Su Wang Zhu Yu has almost monopolized all high-profit industries, at least in the northwest! What refined salt, rubber, color-changing ceramics and the honeycomb coal that was just made not long ago, they have thought about imitating, but they don't have the ability at all! As for wanting to get the technical formula from Ganzhou, it's even more nonsense! If one is not done well, it is easy to offend the Su Wang, but it will not be worth the loss! However, any one of these industries is enough to make everyone jealous, and the profit is quite high! In fact, making money is secondary, and the more important thing is monopoly! Especially for refined salt, the price and pricing of this thing in the future are completely decided by Prince Su alone, even the court has to listen to Prince Su's opinion! Who made this thing produced by others? ...

In a blink of an eye, it is already July in the 24th year of Hongwu! Recently, the honeycomb coal produced in the northwest has begun to be in short supply in the south!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang heard that many people in Yingtian Prefecture were hoarding honeycomb coal, planning to use it during the winter!

It's just that this honeycomb coal is good, but there is no market for it. Basically, when a caravan transports it from the northwest, it may be sold out on the same day. This shows how popular this honeycomb coal is!

It's mainly affordable and easy to use, and ordinary people can afford it!

"Dad, the honeycomb coal that Old Fourteen made is really a good thing!"

"People are full of praise for honeycomb coal, but it seems that the production has not kept up. Most people can't buy it even if they want to!"

In the imperial study, Zhu Biao was also discussing honeycomb coal with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You reallyDo you think it's a production problem? "

"There is definitely no problem with the reserves of honeycomb coal. The news from Ganzhou has been sent back. The biggest problem at present is actually the transportation problem!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly after hearing this...

Such a good thing, beneficial to the country and the people, but there is no way to transport it from Ganzhou to various parts of the Ming Dynasty conveniently. This is the real crux of the problem! "Transportation problem? "

Zhu Biao was stunned at first, then he understood.

Indeed, although honeycomb coal is cheap, it is not light!

How much can a carriage carry?

And it is a long journey, over mountains and rivers, so transportation is definitely inconvenient! And the price of honeycomb coal in Yingtian Prefecture is also very cheap, but compared with Ganzhou, it is still much more expensive! The main reason is the high transportation cost! "Biaoer, we plan to ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to build a cement road. At least we should build a cement road from Ganzhou to Yingtian 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 a great opportunity! "It should cost a lot of money to build a cement road, right? ”

“And cement was also invented by Old Fourteen, and it seems to be only available in Ganzhou!”

Zhu Biao 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 very difficult to really put it into operation!.
