In addition to the sky-high price of noon tea, Yunhai tea and Zizhu tea are also sold well in dozens of surrounding countries, and the prices have basically doubled. In order to increase the production of tea and regulate the rules and regulations of the tea industry in the Han Dynasty, Xu Boju did two major things.

The first thing is to add a tea department under the Ministry of Revenue, formulate some rules and regulations of the tea industry, unify the tea standards, and be responsible for the promotion of tea ceremony culture. In short, everything is formalization.

The second thing is to set up a Dahan Tea Chamber of Commerce in Shaofu. If you want to get involved in tea transactions, you must be a member of the Dahan Tea Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will be strictly prohibited.

There are many benefits to the establishment of the Dahan Tea Chamber of Commerce. Everyone can jointly plant, unify the price, prevent malicious competition, monopolize the high-end tea market, and even uniformly follow the grading standards of a set of tea, unified transportation, etc.

He looks like a regular army.

The places suitable for growing tea in Qingfeng Mountain were also designated by Xu Boju based on resource maps, energy distribution maps, etc. There are a total of 900 square kilometers of peaks and valleys or hills, and the production areas for growing tea.

Xu Boju encouraged aristocratic families or businesses to form various tea gardens of all sizes based on local conditions. These are not built casually, but require official consent and according to official standards.

In this way, the people are both shareholders of the tea garden and employees of the tea garden, and can share the benefits of tea.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty now has more than three types of noon tea, Yunhai tea and Zizhu tea. It has also introduced other relatively high-end tea seedlings, as well as Li Qingman creating more than a dozen new tea varieties through grafting technology, and also increasing the planting area of ​​noon tea.

It can be said that tea has now become a pillar industry in the Han Dynasty. At least 50,000 people engaged in tea cultivation. In addition to tea making, sales, etc., tea has radiated at least 80,000 people.

Everything is thriving and developing towards a good direction, but Xu Boju knows that it would be very dangerous to not only place a country's wealth on one industry.

In addition to tea, the exquisite porcelain of the Han Dynasty was also very popular among the countries and became another pillar industry of the Han Dynasty.

Ganquan Palace in Chang'an City.

"See the Lord, long live the Lord."

"Master Qin, didn't you say that we don't need such a big gift in private. You are old, sit down and talk." Xu Boju stepped forward and helped Master Qin up and said with concern.

"The king of the country, the courtesy should not be abolished. Moreover, the king of the country has rewarded so many Yuanshi to the old minister. The old minister's cultivation has reached a seven-star warrior, and his energy is even greater." Mr. Qin stood up and said.

"Hahaha, that's the best. I hope Mr. Qin can witness the stronger future of our Han Kingdom. You have to take more time to practice and reach the warrior level as soon as possible, so that you can have more energy to benefit the people of our Han Kingdom." Xu Boju said happily. He has always regarded Mr. Qin as his elder.

"Yes, the old minister will definitely obey the order." Mr. Qin said excitedly.

"I came to Mr. Qin this time to find out the situation of the tea making factory, porcelain factory and cement factory?" Xu Boju said.

"Reporting to the king, the demand for tea, porcelain and cement is very high, and it supplies the twenty-one countries around our Han Dynasty, but it is still in short supply and is still recruiting people and expanding production capacity. These are now the three most profitable state-owned factories in our Han Dynasty."

"Well, that's good. It's better to have nothing than to be too bad. We must ensure the quality of our products and not ruin the reputation." Xu Boju reminded.

"Yes, the old minister must pay attention."

"I won't talk about the north and the east. The west side of my Han Kingdom, especially the south side, the richer the more we go to. Do you think we should form our own caravans and sell our goods further away, and the profits we can make there must be higher." Xu Boju said his thoughts.

"Master, this is probably a bit difficult, and it is even unfeasible." Mr. Qin frowned and shook his head.

"Tell me, why is it not feasible?" Xu Boju asked.

"Report to the king, the surrounding countries are still polite to us because our Han Dynasty has built a new country and cannot attack us. Moreover, they basically make a difference in the tea sold outside as intermediaries, and everyone has interests. Once we form a caravan ourselves, it is equivalent to cutting off their financial path. It may cause dissatisfaction among surrounding countries and it will not be worth the loss." Mr. Qin explained.

I see.

"How did the big chambers of commerce in the countries that are popular in the countries do the goods circulate in the countries?" Xu Boju said in confusion.

"Report to the king, those big chambers of commerce were formed jointly by major powers, with a strong backend, and when passing through the various countries, they also paid taxes according to the rules, so they could be safe."

"But our Han Dynasty was first established, and there was no such foundation. There were even many countries that had our ideas now. It was just that we had a year's protection period, so we would be in peace. Once the protection period passed, there would be constant trouble. Therefore, we not only could not build our own caravans, but we also had to continue to better neighboring countries and make them form an interest alliance with us, so that our products could be sold further away." Mr. Qin replied.

Xu Boju did not continue to persist and remained silent. According to the current situation, the goods of the Han Dynasty could not maximize their profits, and many of the profits were earned by several surrounding countries.

Alas, it would be great if there was a teleportation array, and there would be no such problem. Xu Boju had to bow to reality and put away his thoughts first.

"Listen to Master Qin, keep the status quo. By the way, what is the situation in the tea garden on Qingfeng Mountain now?" Xu Boju asked,

"Report to the king, Qingfeng Mountain has currently built 48 private tea gardens and 69 private tea gardens under construction, covering a total area of ​​146,000 mu. People with a little strength in China will join hands with local people to contract a place to build tea gardens. These are all approved by our tea department, and more have not been passed."

"The Royal Tea Garden has been built and 14 under construction, covering a total area of ​​152,000 mu. At present, the land designated by the king of the country has only been developed for the construction of tea gardens. More tea gardens are really limited in staff and cannot be opened for the time being." Mr. Qin briefly introduced.

According to the per mu, the dry tea yield ranges from about 150 jin to 200 jin, with an average of 170 jin per mu. According to Mr. Qin, the climate of Qingfeng Mountain is very suitable for growing tea. It can be picked five times a year, so the annual output is 850 jin per mu.
