Li Longji started to talk about the Rubber Tree, which was completely within Li An’s expectations. He knew that Emperor was looking for him at this time, and he must be asking about the Rubber Tree. After all, the huge role of Rubber Tree has caused Everyone realized the importance of Rubber Tree to the Great Tang Empire due to the shock of Chaoye. Li Longji naturally attached more importance to Rubber Tree.

Regarding the shortage of Rubber Tree resources, under Emperor Li Longji, all ministers are worried. They feel that the lack of such resources has severely restricted the development of the Great Tang Empire. It is the bottleneck that restricts the development of the Great Tang Empire, and this bottleneck is necessary. solved.

After much deliberation, Li Longji has made a decision to establish a rubber workshop in remote America to provide a continuously needed resource for the developing Great Tang Empire, but regarding the feasibility of establishing a workshop in America, and The difficulties that may be encountered, Li Longji is not clear, so he must consult Li An.

“Yes, Your Majesty and Rubber Tree have to grow for at least 5-6 years before they can produce rubber. Otherwise, it will seriously affect the amount of rubber produced. It is very undesirable.

Li An explained.

Li An knows more about the exploitation of Rubber Tree resources. Who made his previous life a learned person? Of course, being an erudite poor man, erudite cock, this is rather sad.

Li Longji sighed slightly, opened the mouth and said: “Minister Li ’s wheels made of rubber are very good. When I was sitting on the carriage, I hardly felt the bumps, and the bicycle was also very good. I personally ride After a while, it is really very portable. If it can be popularized in the future, it will be more convenient for 100 people to travel. “

“Your Majesty will also ride Bicycle? This is too dangerous. Your Majesty will not ride in the future. Bicycle is easy to lose balance.”

Li An didn’t expect Li Longji to be so old that he could actually ride a Bicycle, but thinking about the old fogey of later generations could ride a Bicycle, he soon relieved.

“I can ride a tall horse, but why can’t I ride a Bicycle? It’s very simple to ride a Bicycle. Can I still take the Imperial Consort and take a ride in the back garden?”

Li Longji seemed a lot younger, with a confident expression on his face.

“By the way, Minister Li, the rain boots and rubber cloth shoes you made are also very good. The ministers said that they used them. Whether it is vehicle tires or shoes, they need a lot of rubber juice. The supply is really too small. This question, Minister Li should be very clear. So, I wondered if I could send a team of horses to America to collect rubber resources locally and ship them back to Great with a steamship Tang, so, can’t the problem of lack of rubber be solved? “

Li Longji opened his hypothesis and asked Li An’s opinion.

“Your Majesty really intends to build a rubber workshop in America?”

Li An felt that Li Longji was too concerned about rubber.

“I and the ministers are thinking about this problem day and night. The rubber thing is really good. It is really the more the better. But transporting the Rubber Tree from America is too troublesome. Moreover, too large a Rubber Tree is not easy to transplant. I heard from America ’s Minister Li that the America ’s big Rubber Tree is very tall and cannot be carried by humans. I think that such a tall Rubber Tree can definitely produce more rubber juice. If it can be collected in America, Rubber Tree can definitely get much more rubber resources than Great Tang. Moreover, sending more people to America can better develop America. Is n’t it one move, two gains? “

Li Longji said seriously.

“So, Your Majesty is determined?”

Li An indifferently said.

“I have thought it through. However, in the case of America and the situation of Rubber Tree, only Minister Li knows best, so I want to hear from Minister Li.”

Li Longji opened the mouth and said.

Li An thought about it, opened the mouth and said: “Your Majesty’s idea is completely feasible. As long as enough human and financial resources are invested, a rubber workshop can be established in America and the rubber products that have been initially processed can be shipped back to Great Tang. In order to meet the needs of Great Tang, however, only the most basic plus workshops can be established in America, and the over-advanced technology processing workshop must not be established. The core technology must always remain in the Great Tang homeland, and the most core should be Put it near the capital, so as to control the world. “

“Why cannot build a better Canadian workshop in America, is Minister Li worried?”

Li Longji asked curiously.

“Your Majesty, America is, after all, lonely overseas. As soon as 10000 masters advanced processing and production technology, it has its own capital. In this way, it is easy to appear to move away from the Great Tang. Therefore, for the Great Tang, America can be better controlled. , The most advanced technology must not be brought into America, let alone establish an advanced processing workshop in America, only the most basic processing workshop can be retained. “

Li An explained.

And Li An ’s worries are by no means unfounded. The experience of later generations has proved that as long as America ’s colonial population has mastered certain materials and technology, it will start the war of independence. The most powerful country in the next generation is the independent country of America. It must be vigilant.

Li Longji thought deeply that he was an Emperor and had the most research on controlling rivers and mountains. Naturally, he could think of America’s independent probabilities.

“Based on Great Tang’s current demand for rubber, Minister Li thinks, how many people should be sent to America to establish a rubber workshop?”

Li Longji heard that a rubber workshop could be established and asked how many people were suitable for dispatch.

Li An thought for a while and suggested: “Your Majesty, America has indigenous people there, and the population is still quite large. Since they now have knowledge allegiance in Great Tang, cutting rubber should be left to them. Dry, we only need to provide the technology of tapping, and then let them work. America Natives do not know how much the juice of Rubber Tree has, so they only need to pay them a small amount of money, while the primary processing In a rubber workshop, counting 1000 people should be enough. “

“Well, what Minister Li said is basically the same as I thought, and I also plan to let the natives of America take charge of tapping and collecting rubber, but still need to send some more Great Tang 100 surnames in the past. With better control of America, we can better expand rubber production. I plan to send another 100 people to South America to enrich the population of South America and let most of them engage in rubber production. “

Li Longji finally made the decision to send 20000 people to enrich South America’s stronghold and let them be mainly responsible for the production of rubber raw materials.

Of course Li An will not object. This is Emperor’s decision. How dare he object? He immediately expressed his full support, and he had long thought of establishing a rubber collection workshop in America, but he was worried that America would develop too fast in the future and step by step toward independence, so he did not put forward this idea.

It sent 20000 people to South America, mainly responsible for the production of rubber resources. This is a major event and must be carefully prepared. Li An knows the rubber situation best. Therefore, the official responsible for the organization Before making any decision, he will come to ask Li An’s opinion before he can finally make up his mind.

The busy days are full, but at the same time they are also very tired. The officials responsible for America ’s development of America ’s rubber business have been annoying Li An all day long, and Li An has headaches as soon as he sees them. , Who made him the most aware of America and rubber? Even if it is a trivial matter, the relevant officials of Imperial Court do not dare to take the lead. They must ask Li An for advice. Do n’t bother with Li An.

After nearly a month of comprehensive preparation, all relevant materials and personnel were fully prepared. Although the 100 surnames who traveled to South America at this time were only 20000, Imperial Court allocated 5000 soldiers to go to better control the land in South America and prevent An incident that endangered the surname of Great Tang 100, after all, America has many indigenous people, 10000 if these indigenous people know the huge role of rubber and offer higher compensation to Great Tang, and then rebel after the requirements are not met, it is troublesome, Sending more soldiers and horses can deter America’s natives and prevent them from committing chaos to avoid a crisis.

Of course, in addition to the ordinary 100 surname, the relevant officials, as well as the technical craftsmen who have been personally trained by Li An, are sure to go to America. Mining and rough processing of rubber products must be guided by them, otherwise , Everything cannot proceed in an orderly manner.

At this time, after many rounds of technical improvements, the tonnage and speed of large steam sea ships have been greatly improved. It takes more than a month to go to America, which is very convenient.

Before the train was invented, many local officials in Great Tang had to walk a few months to reach Chang’an in Beijing. Now, America can only arrive in a month or two, which is actually not far away.

As an important material of natural rubber, under normal circumstances, it can be kept intact for at least 3 months. If processed properly, it can be kept for more than half a year. Therefore, as long as the processed rubber raw materials are shipped back to Great Tang in a timely manner, it will definitely not Deterioration can provide Great Tang with continuously reliable rubber resources.

Because Imperial Court attaches great importance to the rubber industry, the first batch of rubber raw materials was shipped back only 3 months after this group of people traveled to South America.

This batch of 30 large-scale sea vessels, of which ten ships all contain rubber raw materials, each ship is loaded with 1000 tons of raw materials, ten ships are loaded with a total of 10000 tons of rubber raw materials, and the weight of the container is even more It’s heavy.

When arriving at the Laizhou Seaport, the local Imperial Court temporarily collected a large amount of labor nearby, responsible for loading and unloading these rubber materials, and all were transported to the Laizhou Railway Station and loaded to Chang’an.

According to the train loading plan, one car can only hold ten tons, and a freight train can only hold 500 tons at full load. At least 20 freight trains are required to transport all the rubber raw materials back to Beijing.

Because it takes a certain amount of time to load these goods, the trains are going to Beijing in a row, with an interval of more than 3 hours, and 5 freight trains took a full 20-7 days to complete.

When the first freight train with consignment of rubber materials arrived at Chang’an City Railway Station, the relevant officials of Imperial Court, who got the news earlier, immediately led a large number of laborers to start unloading and used various vehicles to transport these important rubber materials. Joined the Research & Development Center and handed it to Li An.

Suddenly possessing such a large amount of rubber raw materials, Li An is very excited. These all are strategic resources, which are the raw materials that Great Tang badly needs, and the arrival of these raw materials can allow Li An to carefully prepare the production line for several months to officially start Too.

After all, in the past few months, Li An has used a small amount of rubber raw materials for scientific research, and has also produced a large number of related equipment according to its own scientific research results. As long as the rubber raw materials arrive in Beijing, it can be immediately mass-produced. .

The core technical craftsmen, Li An have personally trained, they are fully qualified for this job, and the newly recruited craftsmen can also be handed over to these core craftsmen for training. In short, mass production can be started soon.

In addition to daily necessities such as rain boots and rubber shoes, industrial products such as tires and mechanical conveyor belts, there are many other products that have been produced.

Of course, industrial products are at the top of the list. After all, Great Tang has too many vehicles, and these vehicles all need to be fitted with tires, some of which cannot be installed, and the production of corresponding wheels, which has promoted an industry ’s development of.

In terms of lifestyle products, it mainly produces the most practical products, such as rain boots and rubber soles. Rain boots can protect people from muddy mud, and rubber soles can make people wear more comfortable, lighter, and more durable.

In addition, there are some other equipment that also needs to use rubber materials, such as sofa cushions made of foamed natural rubber. It is very soft and comfortable to sit on, which is much softer than sitting on a quilt.

There are also foamed natural rubber pillows, which are not only soft and comfortable under the head, but also have a health care effect, which is good for the human body.

When Li An used foamed rubber technology to create soft cushions, everyone felt amazed. The soft feeling was really extraordinary.

Of course, this is not over yet. Does Li An have any more powerful technology?

“Minister Li, what is this square guy you made of springs for? It feels so weird!”

A craftsman stood up, wiped his sweat, and asked.

They are all familiar with Li An, and they will naturally say whatever they have, and they will never feel cautious.

“Don’t worry, you will soon know what it is.”

Li An smiled lightly and let the craftsman continue to work.

After these springs were finished, Li An immediately asked people to take the soft cushions made with foaming technology, and let the workers wrap the cushions outside the square spring blocks, thus forming a very common Spring Mattress in later generations. .
