Huang Xuan went out from the lumberyard and brought back about 50 kilograms of wheat to the workers in the lumberyard. The four of them were overjoyed. The reason they ate black bread was not because they knew that black bread was nutritious, but because there was no food. A whole sack of wheat is enough for half a month's wages. The female worker holding the wheat thanked Huang Xuan again, holding her palms tightly together, as if she was worried that the wheat would leave, she seriously pointed out the way to Kaiserslautern for Huang Xuan, and asked kindly: You Are you here to do business? There are few emerging industries in the Rhineland area, and production activities are not vigorous. As a person of yellow race, Huang Xuan is even less likely to join the army, and the female workers seem to guess quite accurately. Seeing Huang Xuan nodded, the female worker said in a hurry: If you want to do business, there are many merchants in Ludwigshafen, and Duke Ludwig of Württemberg built a palace there. Road Dewig? Huang Xuan thanked the four of them again, turned and walked westward, no matter where you want to go, you need to reach Kaiserslautern first, only when you get there can you have roads and supplies, and it is best to There are several carriages. After searching the information quickly, Lorraine said to Huang Xuan: Ludwig does own the largest port nearby, and may also have the most merchants nearby. Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Huang Xuan always thought that Lorraine was omniscient and omnipotent of. I can only count the number of people in an area, but I can't make a judgment. All judgments are based on meeting the set conditions. I don't have the ability to make independent judgments. Whatever. Huang Xuan waved his hand. Kaiserslautern. I'm sorry about this, because Ludwig is beyond the 1-day journey, so I didn't consider it. I thought you would scan the vicinity. But not outside the range. Huang Xuan smiled and said : To save energy again? The search range must be determined. Even a first-level base does not have the ability to search the entire universe. Okay. Huang Xuan finally laughed, Lorraine made a mistake. It's not easy, and rare things are expensive. During this period, Kaiserslautern was still just a small town. It was located in the center of the Palatinate Forest. After World War II, it had become the city with the highest forest coverage in Germany. The resident population is pitifully small, only in the early 100,000s, equivalent to a slightly larger town in China. In the 19th century, Kaiserslautern was even smaller. The forest gave it resources, but it restricted its development. On the whole, this small town always looked so thin, as if it could be seen from one side of the city to the other. But Huang Xuanxuan was surprised that in any place in this town, even his busiest street could be seen with big trees, and the only beer hall was even covered in the shadow of the whole big tree. There is no market in the town. Every morning, the town center sells some daily necessities for people to buy, but the doors don't open until the next morning. Lumberjacks can be counted as industrial workers. Most of their work places are outside the towns. When they rest, they will drink two glasses of dark beer in the beer hall, and occasionally visit restaurants. Besides, there is no consumption place in the whole town. There is no hotel in the town, and it is also a beer hall. When Huang Xuan arrived, it was already evening, and the beer hall was still lively. Huang Xuan walked in a little cautiously. He didn't have a dime in his hand, so he had to let Lorraine took out a few kilograms of sugar, carried it to the stage with his clothes, and said, I brought some sugar in exchange for some money, are you willing to accept it? The young man shook his head in confusion, and said, You can ask Thomas. The bearded man who was sitting on the other side of the stage heard his name, raised his beer glass and said loudly, Is there anything that Uncle Thomas needs to see? ? Huang Xuan smiled at the guy, turned around and picked up sugar and walked towards Thomas, saying, I need some travel expenses, and I want to exchange these sugars. Then you found the right person. Thomas looked like an alcoholic The gambler put down the wine glass with red eyes, picked up a few grains of sugar and put it in his mouth. Huang Xuan doubted that his sense of taste would be of any use after being poisoned by wine. The quality is good. How much do you want to exchange? Thomas dropped his beard into the wine glass while talking, and he fished it out as he was used to, and then took another gulp of beer. Huang Xuan wrinkled his nose, turned his head away from looking at him, and said, I want to stay here for one night and take a carriage to Ludwig tomorrow. If you want, I can exchange this much money. No problem. Thomas He raised his glass again, and said to the guy on the stage: Hunter, take him to bed, and I will pay for it. After speaking, he drank beer again. Huang Xuan originally wanted him to remember the carriage, but seeing his drunken face, he shook his head and walked out. To be honest, this beer hall doesn't taste good. The room had a hard bed made of birch, which was very uncomfortable. Huang Xuan got up early, and the beer hall was very clean at this time. Kaiserslautern seemed like a city built in the forest, exuding vitality. Guest, the carriage is about to leave. Do you want to get in? Of course. Huang Xuan wiped his face and followed. He didn't expect that Thomas looked sloppy, but he did things quickly. However, when Huang Xuan saw the carriage, he didn't think so. This is a four-horse carriage, but what is unbearable is that there are actually 8 people sitting in the small carriage. Do you want to sit? The coachman was a Prussian with a vicissitudes of life, and he spoke in a rough voice. Thomas gave him his money. The beer hall clerk relieved Huang Xuan.

It's useless to say anything at this time. This is obviously a long-distance carriage, which is designed to go back and forth between the two places. Huang Xuan originally wanted to hire a carriage by himself, or he didn't know that there are public carriages in Europe now. It was a self-inflicted mistake. In the carriage, which was mixed with the smell of horses and people, Huang Xuan thought to himself. A fair-skinned Prussian sat across from Huang Xuan, and the brown-haired woman beside him seemed to be his wife. The two were whispering sweetly. Huang Xuan didn't want to listen to the couple's conversation, but the voice came through in the ear. Fischer, are we going to cut down the forest too? Well, Hartig is right, the volume growth of pure coniferous plantations is higher, and the establishment of high-productivity plantations can obtain greater benefits. output. After that, we still need to buy saplings and fertilize them? Of course, I think it is better to plant coniferous forests, so that there will be more useful growth. Although eavesdropping is not very good, Huang Xuan was still very curious and whispered: Lorraine, what are they talking about? Artificial forest? Lorraine quickly searched the information and said: This is the afforestation movement that started in the 19th century. Director of the bureau, he advocates cutting down all the forests, and then planting artificial coniferous forests that grow faster, and planting the forests like crops. Is that okay? Huang Xuan opened his mouth wide. Of course it failed, but throughout the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, this kind of argument was very popular, and they did get a higher output, but they chose too extreme plantation production methods, and eventually It caused soil degradation, and caused forest estates to die due to many diseases and insect pests. In this way, they must have cut down a lot of natural forests? It took about 50 years to cut down, and finally regretted it.
