Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 167 Canned Fruit
Chapter 167 Canned Fruit
A few days later, when the recruitment list was sent out, the people from Qinyang had already arrived in Qinghe County.

However, he didn't go to the county seat, but took people around on the mountains outside the city.

"My lord, this is Qinghe in Qinghe County, and Qinghe Mountain outside Qinghe County."

A native of Qinghe who worked in the county town acted as his guide.

Qin Yang took a look at this place, it is a good place with green mountains and green waters.

"It's said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. There are mountains and water in Qinghe County. Why aren't they being used?"

"This Qinghe County still looks very poor."

Although this is the birthplace of the Cui family in Qinghe, and there are indeed large houses in the city, they are all Cui family houses.

It is true that there are large tracts of fertile land outside the city, but those are also the fields of the Cui family.

Before the Cui family was completely overthrown, Qin Yang could not distribute these fields to the people.

He was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the king of Youzhou.

Before completely turning this place into his own territory, there are many things he can't do.

But even if he didn't move the land, he knew that this mountain and this river were ownerless.

It originally belonged to the former King of Yan. After King Yan died, even the Cui family thought it was unlucky and did not take the mountains and rivers into their pockets.

So if the common people want to rely on the mountain to eat, it is not impossible.

The guide was stunned for a moment and explained: "Your Majesty, although this Qinghe Mountain is huge, there are wild fruit trees all over the place, which can't be cut down, and grow very fast! I don't know how many roots are in the ground! I want to cut down trees for farming. , that won't work."

Qin Yang sighed and shook his head at him: "You."

He pointed to the faint red in the distance, and said, "Those are the wild fruit trees you mentioned, right? Does this kind of fruit grow in abundance and quickly? Except for winter, there are all year round?"

It is now approaching the Ching Ming Festival. During this season, trees in the north that can grow fruit are rare!
Qin Yang pointed with his hand, and the guide nodded.

"Ah? Yes, this thing is, but this fruit, although this fruit is edible, and it is also sweet and sour, but it is everywhere in the mountains and plains, and it is worthless at all! If you eat it, you will be more hungry, so no one will rot in the ground. Go pick it up!"

Qin Yang understood it as soon as he heard it.

Before he came, there were some people in Youzhou County who couldn't eat when they were green and yellow.

Not to mention other county people.

The people in the villages outside the county seat may live in even more poverty.

When you don't have enough to eat, you will be more hungry after eating a kind of fruit. Isn't this a terrible thing?

Even though it’s delicious, no one dares to eat it!
And those high-ranking officials and dignitaries will feel that this kind of stuff, which is available all over the mountains and plains, has lost its price.

If the two types of people don't eat it, wouldn't it just rot inside?
He reminded: "No one in Qinghe County likes to eat it. If it is shipped out, shipped to other places, and shipped to other counties, there will always be people who like to eat this bite."

Sweet and sour, it also helps digestion after eating.

This thing has great potential!
When the guide heard this, the wry smile on his face grew stronger.

"My lord, let's not say that no one is taking the lead in this matter, who among the ordinary people has the ability to sell the wild fruit in Youzhou? Even if someone wants to sell it, this thing will be broken in a few days..."

Qin Yang thought to himself: Isn't this a coincidence?I have a cannery!
"Let's take a look at the mountain first."

He had already made up his mind to make several canned fruits and sell them to the south.

This red fruit tree is easy to grow, grows quickly, and has a short fruit maturity period. It is available almost all year round. This thing is simply born from a micro-cannery!
With such a large mountain of wild fruit trees, there is a pillar industry in Qinghe County!

As long as the fruit here is of good quality and tastes good, he will set up a fruit canning factory in Qinghe County!

It's a branch of the cannery!

Not only can it solve the labor problem in Qinghe County, provide benefits to the people, but also make money and supplement taxes!
As long as the factory expands in the future, more local people can work in the factory.

Even if the Cui family cannot be brought down for a while and the local tyrants cannot be divided up to divide the land, at least these common people can be gradually separated from the control of the Cui family.

As long as the economy here is also controlled by him.

Politics and economy are all under his control, and the Cui family is just a bird he has trapped in a cage.

Can be pinched to death at any time!
Thinking this way, Qin Yang followed the people into the mountain.

On the mountain, he really saw a large area of ​​wild fruit trees.

They are all not very tall trees, with lush branches and leaves.

At this time, most of the other trees only grew tender green branches and leaves, but this kind of tree not only has dense leaves, but also the red fruits dotted in it are densely packed. The number is really too much!

As soon as Qin Yang gave an order, someone went up to pick a few fruits.

After wiping it clean with a handkerchief, he held it with another clean handkerchief and handed it to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang picked up one and put it in his mouth, it was about the same size as a jujube in reality.

The entrance was a little sour, and he frowned slightly, but afterward, there was a clear sweetness.

Not to mention, it tastes really good, even better than he expected.

The taste is a bit like several northern fruits in modern times, but not any of them.

Qin Yang even wondered if this fruit would gradually become extinct in the future, so he never saw it again in later generations.

Although the growth rate of this fruit tree is somewhat unimaginable.

But it's not impossible.

However, whether the species is extinct in later generations will not affect the present.

After Qin Yang tasted it, he had already confirmed his plan to open a branch factory here.

He motioned for others to taste it.

The guards who came with Qin Yang were all people he brought from Chang'an.

These people are also eating this northern wild fruit for the first time.

After putting the two wild fruits into the mouth, the expressions they showed one after another were very similar to those of Qin Yang.

After eating a few, I even became addicted!
Seeing this, Qin Yang said: "If you want to eat, you can pick some more and take them home! This food relieves the tiredness, so bring some more home. It's also very good to eat during barbecue!"

right!This stuff really relieves boredom!
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized!

They picked it up right away.

Even the guide took off a lot and put them in the backpack he was carrying.

He couldn't help but said to Qin Yang: "My lord, I didn't even think about it before, and there is still a time when I need to use it to relieve my tiredness! Since you came to Youzhou, Your Majesty, Youzhou is really getting better and better."

This is not all flattery, more, it is his emotion from the bottom of his heart.

The new year that just passed was the best new year he had ever had in his memory!
Qin Yang heard this, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, the days to come will get better and better!"

"I'm afraid in another year or two, you don't even want to eat meat every day!"

"How is this possible!" The guide didn't believe it, and immediately said: "The little one will always love meat!"

"If every meal is full of fish and meat, and occasionally a meal of porridge and side dishes, that would be great. If you don't believe me, just wait and see, there will be such a day."
