Transporting lychees for the first time
March 19
One hundred pounds of ripened March reds were washed with salt water, and the lychees were wrapped one by one and placed in the inner layer of the double-layered urn, and the mouth of the jar was sealed; then cold water was poured into the outer layer and replaced every half a day.
Purchased nearly a hundred horses, hired dozens of riders and several grass boats, divided them into four teams, and set off from four roads at the same time.
first way
Take Meiguan Road, Qianzhou, Ezhou, Suizhou, the same way Li Shande came.
Second way
Take the Xijing Road, which runs from Ruyuan to Chenzhou, Hengzhou, Tanzhou and then to Jiangling. It is the shortest straight-line road.
Third way
Take Meiguan Road, cross the river, go straight north to Suzhou, join the Tangjiang-Huaihe Water Transport Route, and follow the Bianhe River, Yellow River, and Luoshui River to the capital
fourth way
Board the boat directly and go from the Pearl River to Qinshui River, Zhen River, cross Meiguan and then enter Ganshui River to the Yangtze River and go up to Hanshui River and Xiangzhou, then transfer to land transport and take Shangzhou Road
In excess of the "sponsorship fee", Su Liang borrowed another 2,500 yuan and exchanged it for four blank pass certificates.
March 25
first way
The taste of lychees has changed in Jiangxia, just across the river from Ezhou.
Second way
Baling, slightly slower but the closest route to Beijing
Third way
Arrive at Liuzhi, Tongan County
It was the only way to cross the Yangtze River. It ran a full 1,700 miles, but all the horses died and the people were exhausted to the limit.
fourth way
We have passed Xunyang, and the lychees are flowing with juice
One thousand five hundred and eighty-seven miles back and forth, nearly 400 miles a day
Requirement: Don’t be considerate of horsepower and wait until the lychees completely deteriorate. Class rewards are set up to motivate riders, barely simulating the imperial court's most advanced post road speed. Invention: Use a four-color pen to fill in the grid according to the mileage. Black circles represent unchanged, ocher dots represent color changes, purple dots represent aroma changes, red dots represent flavor changes, and ink dots represent liquid juice.
Second transportation of lychees
March 30
Optimize two roads: Meiguan Road and Xijing Road, one wins because the road is flat, the other wins because the road is close
Bring half-ripe green lychees
April 6
The lychees will go bad for two days longer, 200 miles longer than last time.
April 7
Discovering the "cutting method", he borrowed 500 Guan and 1,000 Guan from Su Liang for the third time (investment), promising to let Su Liang take over the task of transporting lychees after success.
The details were overheard by Lin Yinu and reported to He Luguang to chase away the murderous intention.
The third transport of lychees
April 10
"The branch planting method": Cut off the branches of the lychee tree that have been peeled off, and cut off the branches about three feet long. Use the best hemp rattan to weave five photo baskets and cover the crown of the tree from above. Cut the tail end obliquely to expose half of the stem veins and plunge it directly into the urn. Only one double-layered urn is hung on each horse. The inner layer is covered with soft fertile soil, and the outer layer is filled with clear water. But the ratio of water to soil in each urn is different.
Overland: Start by taking Meiguan Road. After arriving in Jizhou, turn northwest, go straight to Tanzhou, and then turn to Xijing Road. Water route: Pass through Changjiang County from the northwest of Tanzhou, abandon your horse and board a boat, follow the Miluo River to Dongting Lake, and cross the Yangtze River. After crossing the river, it went along the Han River, Xiang River and Dan River to Shangzhou.
When traveling to Tieluo Keng, they were chased by soldiers sent by the Lingnan Economic Strategy Office. Lin Yinu repaid his kindness and rescued Li Shande, but was killed by a tiger. Before his death, he proposed a plan to use the corpse as bait to use the beautiful tiger to kill the pursuers and escape.
April 21st
Experimental results
The branches began to wither one after another on the fourth day, and the lychees were immediately picked and replaced with the "salt washing and water separation method". A total of eleven days can be obtained by using the "branch planting method" (seven days) and the "salt washing and water separation method" (four days).
Constraints
Resource mobilization is limited, documents are issued, and it takes a long time to travel through Guanjin.
improvement measures
Shangshu Sheng came forward to organize and mobilize resources unlimitedly
The lychees are sealed in a bamboo basket, and after the branches have withered, they are immediately picked and placed in a short bamboo tube, and then placed in an urn.
After crossing the Yangtze River, prepare ice from the Jiangling Ice Cellar
The first game in Chang'an City
April 22
Returning to his home in Chang'an, his idea of "lychee transshipment method" was kicked by various departments, but failed to deliver. He met Yu Chaoen by chance and was deceived and robbed of his credit.
April 23
Han Hui reminded that there are only three words to being an official: be harmonious with light and dust, be exposed to rain and dew, and be carried in a sedan chair with flowers and flowers.
Introduced to Wei Guogong Yang Guozhong by "Feng Yuanyi", he presented the transshipment method and successfully won the silver medal.
Classic quote: "Processes are rules that only the weak must follow."
The fourth transportation of lychees
April 24
Use the silver medal to convene various departments to arrange work, and all principals will obey orders to determine responsibilities, procedures and details.
Leaving the city overnight to rush to Lingnan
May 9th (Li Shande’s birthday)
Arriving in Guangzhou City, the Lingnan Economic Strategy Office changed its previous attitude and fully cooperated with the preparation work.
Su Liang brought gifts to celebrate Li Shande's birthday, but Yang Guozhong objected to his previous promise to monopolize the transportation of lychees, resulting in a complete breakdown of their friendship.
May 13th
The Jinglue Mansion investigated and dealt with Su Liang's caravan without authorization. The caravan left its posts overnight and took away all the important "double-layered urns" used in lychee operations.
May 14
Zhao Xinmin proposed a remedy: stuff a single-layer urn into the cow's abomasum, blow it with air to expand it, use lime to absorb the water on the inside, apply a layer of beeswax to set the shape, and then glue the esophageal opening around the mouth of the urn, leaving only one place alive.
May 15th
The emergence of the double-layered urn incident made Li Shande realize that he had to walk the post road in advance and check out all the hidden dangers.
Yang Guozhong later increased the number of lychees, and increased the number at all levels, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of felled lychee trees, and the Atong Lychee Garden was destroyed by large-scale felling.
Li Shande began to become numb at this point, filtering out all emotions, leaving only the official's instinct
The art of tree pruning: cut the lychee branches in advance and put them in the soil to warm them up. When white root hairs grow faintly, transplant them into an urn, that is, high branch layering.
May 19
The transfer team departs
May 22
After discovering that Huangcao Station had "escaped", he changed the transfer plan. Li Shande left the horses for the rotation of riders and walked straight to Miluo Water Station. The mountain terrain was complex and dangerous, causing him to lose his footing and fall down the mountain. As a result, he injured his right ankle and became disabled.
May 24
Due to other errors such as double-layered urns, disputes over the number of orders, and escaping from the post station, the transshipment had an astonishing delay effect. In order to ensure that the lychees could arrive in Chang'an fresh, the original plan was temporarily changed and the ice cubes were transported across the river from Jiangling to Yuezhou in the opposite direction, in conjunction with the transshipment. Team connection.
In order to be able to ice the ship's draft, he ordered the ship to be almost dismantled into an empty shell and transported 20 pieces of ice to Yuezhou.

I met the saint and the noble concubine in the flower calyx building, and was given a basket of green plums
Decrypting "Feng Yuanyi" as Gao Lishi, he sent two vague messages and once pointed his finger from a distance. He took part of the credit without offending the right minister, suppressed Yu Chaoen, and rescued Li Shande.
ending
He was sentenced to embezzlement and went to the Forestry Department's public house. He had thirty guan in capital and twenty sticks, and his whole family fled to Lingnan. We set out at the end of June, stopping and walking, admiring the scenery along the way. It took us four months to arrive in Lingnan and became an old lychee farmer.
An Lushan rebelled, Chang'an fell, and the saint abandoned the city and fled.
