Each farmer will be given a pound of Baidianzi flower seeds for free. After the flowers grow, they will be owned by them. All they need to do is submit the seeds in the flowers to the Yamen!

Magistrate He is very sure that once this news spreads, the people of Lantian County will fall into a state of madness!

Because this is a no-cost business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money, and make a lot of money!

Just imagine, how many Baidiezi flowers can be grown from one kilogram of Baidiezi flower seeds? Even if the harvest is not good, you can still receive twenty or thirty kilograms of flowers, right? When the time comes, sell them out and say less.

Can it be sold for dozens or hundreds of dollars?

Without capital, you can earn dozens or hundreds of dollars a year from just one acre of white rice. To be honest, any county magistrate would like to roll up his sleeves and do such a good thing!

After all, his annual salary may not be as high as this!

"Gudong!"

After swallowing hard, Magistrate He calmed down and asked with difficulty: "Master Marquis, are you really sure you want to do this? That's 70,000 to 80,000 guan!"

Although the money was not his, he felt a pang for Li Zexuan!

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Money is something external to the body. It can keep the people fed and clothed. This is the responsibility of me and you~! Besides, I didn't get nothing. Today I gave them 10,000 yuan.

A pound of Baiduzi flower seeds can be recovered in a few months, and hundreds of thousands of pounds can be recovered. I have not lost money!"

In a cotton flower, the weight of cotton wool accounts for about 40% of the weight of the entire cotton flower, while cotton seeds account for more than 60% of the weight! In other words, if the last acre of land can harvest twenty or thirty pounds of cotton wool, then the corresponding

Thirty or forty pounds of cottonseed can be harvested from just one field!

And this output is estimated based on the lowest output!

Therefore, Li Zexuan did not lose money in this transaction!

After a year of breeding, he will be able to allow every household in Lantian County to plant several acres of cotton. By then, no one in Lantian County will suffer from the cold in winter!

"Uh, yes, yes! The Marquis taught you a lesson!"

County Magistrate He wiped the sweat from his forehead, cupped his hands towards Li Zexuan and said: "In that case, after the official returns, he will immediately issue a notice to all Zhuangzi in the county, mobilizing the people to reclaim wasteland in advance! It just happened that it has just passed.

It’s spring plowing and spring planting, and the people have plenty of time!”

"Well! That's the best!"

Li Zexuan nodded.

Magistrate He was about to stand up and say goodbye when he suddenly remembered that he had another thing to do today, so he cupped his hands and said: "By the way! Lord Marquis! Your mansion in Lantian County has been basically completed! If you have time recently,

, then go over and see if there is any part of the construction that is not as good as you like, please send me an official so that the craftsmen can make changes!"

If this had been in his previous life, if someone had told Li Zexuan that his house had been built, in the center of the county, with a single courtyard, and mountains and rivers, Li Zexuan would have been crazy with joy after hearing this. But now, Li Zexuan just raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart

There was no fluctuation at all, he said calmly:

"Yes! I will go over and take a look when I have time! Magistrate He, how is the situation in the county recently? Is everything okay?"

Although the mansion in Lantian County is the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the true sense, because of the relationship with Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan does not plan to completely move there in the short term. At most, his father and mother used to be in charge of the mansion, so

Li Zexuan didn't care much about the house, he was concerned about the development of his fiefdom!

Hearing Li Zexuan ask about his own job, Magistrate He immediately straightened his face, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, everything is fine in Lantian County and is very prosperous. Because of the football stadium in the county, I recently came to Lantian County.

There are more and more pedestrians and merchants coming here, and because famous and big stores like Zuixianlou, Qiquge, and Jubaozhai have settled in, it has also indirectly boosted the business of other shops.

Now, our Lantian County has become the most prosperous county town in this hundred-mile radius, except for Chang'an City! People and gentry in other counties to the east will basically not go to Chang'an City if they want to buy things. More and more,

Many merchants want to open shops in Lantian County, so the prices of shops in the county are rising again and again! The official predicts that the commercial tax collected by the county government this year will be at least twice that of previous years!"

"Well! That's good!"

Li Zexuan nodded, feeling very satisfied.

After all, the development of people's livelihood in Lantian County is his most concerned issue, and this is his base camp!

……………………

After seeing off Magistrate He, Li Zexuan went to the neighboring courtyard, found his father and mother, and informed the old couple that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in Lantian County had been completed. After hearing this, Mrs. Li suddenly became interested and excitedly

I took Father Li to visit the new mansion. After all, this is the inheritance that my son will pass on to future generations!

Since Li Zexuan can't get away now because of the affairs of the academy, they, the elders, must prepare the new residence in advance no matter what, such as furniture, decorations, potted plants, etc., they will buy what should be purchased and what should be sent.

People buy what they want, and they can't leave the new mansion empty. This is unlucky.

So, Father Li, Mrs. Li, Ye Guozhong, and Mrs. Ye rushed down to Yunshan with a group of servants that afternoon and rushed to the county seat of Lantian County!

Li Zexuan did not stop him. Of course he appreciated the elder's kindness.

After seeing off his father, mother, grandfather and grandmother, Li Zexuan went directly to the academy. At the door of his office, he saw Ke Shiqing. Apparently, the child had been waiting here for a while.

"Shan Zhang, do you have time now? The student wants to talk to you about something!"

Seeing Li Zexuan, Ke Shiqing's face lit up and he quickly raised his hands.

Li Zexuan was puzzled. He didn't know that Ke Shiqing didn't even attend class and came over to find something to do with him. But he still nodded and said: "Yes! Come in!"

Instead of rashly blaming Ke Shiqing for "trucking class", Li Zexuan planned to wait until he heard what Ke Shiqing had to say before making a decision.

The teachers and students entered the office. Li Zexuan poured two cups of tea and handed one to Ke Shiqing. Ke Shiqing was immediately flattered. When teachers in the academy teach recently, they usually bring a cup of tea into the classroom in advance. The wafting fragrance of tea makes the classroom

All the students inside are salivating!

He heard from nobles like Li Tai and Cheng Chumo that this tea was called Immortal Tea. It was Li Zexuan's original creation and it was not sold outside yet.

Ke Shiqing didn't expect that Li Zexuan would be so willing and gave him a cup of fairy tea. How could he not be flattered by this?

"Thank you, Chief!"

Ke Shiqing took the tea and thanked him.

"Haha! Now tell me why you came to me?"

There was no fluctuation on Li Zexuan's face. He had always been extremely generous to his students. What could a cup of tea mean?

Ke Shiqing quickly put down the tea cup and said with a serious face: "Chief, my student heard from Mr. Wang that you discovered vanadium ore on the Lanjia volcano in Weizhou, but it was blocked by the local Qiang people and cannot be mined at present. I don't know if it can be mined."

Is there any such thing?"

Li Zexuan was stunned and said with some confusion: "It is true! But, Shiqing, why do you ask this?"

Ke Shiqing cupped his hands and said: "Chief, the student is from Bashu. My parents took me to Beijing to study, so my family left their hometown. The student's family is also Qiang!"

Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe it and said, "Shiqing, you said you are also a Qiang?"

Ke Shiqing nodded and said: "That's right! The students have grown up among the Qiang tribe. The Qiang people live in poverty, relying on mountains and water. Due to geographical reasons, the Qiang tribe has been almost isolated from the outside world for generations.

, although everyone’s life is poor, there is no oppression, no corrupt officials, and the people are quite content!

But the Qiang people have only pursued physical food and clothing for generations, and no one knows how to read or study. My father is not a Qiang person. He was a scholar in Kaifeng at that time. Because he fell in love with my mother, he followed my mother to live among the Qiang people.

Tribe, my father taught me how to read and write since I was a child, and wanted me to gain fame in the future.

When he was twelve years old, the student was appreciated by the academic officer of Bazhou. He recommended the student to go to the Imperial Academy. The student lived up to his expectations, passed the examination of the Imperial Academy, and entered the School of Arithmetic Science!

Then I met the mountain chief! My father and mother were worried that I was alone in Chang'an, so they followed me! The student knew the Qiang tribe that the mountain chief's servants met in Yizhou this time, and the leader of their tribe

It's called Qiao Feng, and it's the largest Qiang tribe in Bashu. If the mountain chief wants to mine there, students can go to Shu and convince their leader!"

"Qiao Feng?"

Li Zexuan almost jumped up when he heard the name of the leader of the Qiang tribe in Yizhou. He wanted to ask Ke Shiqing if Qiao Feng could know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!

"Yes! His name is Qiao Feng! Does the mountain chief know this Qiang leader?"

Seeing Li Zexuan's big reaction, Ke Shiqing suddenly said strangely.

"Ahem!"

Li Zexuan shook his head, getting rid of those nonsensical thoughts in his head, and asked: "I don't know! I don't know! Shiqing, which Qiao and which Feng is this Qiao Feng?"

Ke Shiqing poured two drops of tea on the table, wrote the word "Qiao Feng" and said: "Chief of the mountain, this is Qiao Feng!"

After Li Zexuan looked at it, he realized that he had misunderstood. He straightened his face and said quickly: "Ahem! Shiqing, you are willing to take the initiative to go to Bashu to persuade the local Qiang people as a teacher. I am very touched!

But what is your relationship with this Qiang tribe in Yizhou? Will they make things difficult for you? Will they listen to your persuasion?"

Ke Shiqing's initiative to ask for help really made Li Zexuan feel relieved. Before that, he had been thinking about who should go to Xizhou to persuade the group of Qiang people. But even so, he had to make sure whether Ke Shiqing would be safe when he went there.

There will be danger. After all, Sanbao and others almost died at the hands of the Qiang people in Sizhou.
