The treasure of fertile land can increase the yield by 30% if it is small, and double if it is large.
The treasure of the fertile field is really a treasure. It is in accordance with the rumors in Chang'an City. If His Highness the King of Qin dares to spend money to buy it, it must be a treasure.
Li Yuanxing said something to reassure Cui Dunli: "This thing can also be passed on to your seven families. As for the common people, we can discuss it later!"
Cui Dunli was a little surprised, but he was relieved in his heart. It seemed that there was an essential difference between scholars and common people in King Qin's mind.
Li Yuanxing played a little trick, which was to distinguish the privileged class of nobles from the common people.
But in fact, how much manure is there and how much field is there?
How many fields did the nobles of the Tang Dynasty occupy, and how many fields did the common people occupy?
Before the development of the breeding industry, farmyard manure was simply not enough. Li Yuanxing's current fiefdom is Chang'an County, where Qinwangzhuang is now located. According to the calculations of the county magistrate Du Zichun, not counting the Qinling Mountains, the plains alone have two
1.4 million acres of land.
Excluding rivers, hills, and a few plains, there are more than 1.3 million acres of usable arable land.
However, wasteland accounts for 60% of it, and there are more than 400,000 acres without rivers and canals. It is not easy to open up wasteland.
And then subtracting Qinwangzhuang and the surrounding areas of Qinwangzhuang. Especially the area between Qinwangzhuang and Chang'an City is full of good farmland. Calculated in this way, the land that Li Yuanxing can farm now is only more than 200,000 acres.
But for these more than 200,000 acres, Li Yuanxing collected all the farmyard manure around Chang'an. Only 50% of the fields could be properly fertilized, and the rest could barely be used. The only thing was to prevent the land from being too barren.
Therefore, even if ordinary people want to use farmyard fertilizer, they don’t have enough fertilizer.
Cui Dunli didn't know the secret, but Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao understood it very well.
Cui Dunli, as the Chief of the Palace of Qin, Lao Lang took him to inspect the territory around Qin Wangzhuang, including the farm, the biogas pool, and the chamber of commerce area in front.
Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao returned to the study because Wu Zhao said that she had a proposal and asked Li Yuanxing to seriously consider it because it was related to the future development of Qin Wangzhuang.
In the study, Wu Zhao used a projector to display two maps. One was a modern map, and the other was from the Tang Dynasty.
There are naturally differences in the building groups on the map, but if you look at the geographical map, the differences are there, but not big. Several of the rivers have changed their course, whether it is natural or man-made by later generations.
Wu Zhao marked a large area in red on the map.
"Here, take advantage!" Wu Zhao patted the table gently.
hiss……
Li Yuanxing was really in a dilemma. This was such a big piece of land. Its area was as big as two Chang'an counties. And Li Yuanxing knew very clearly who the owners of this piece of land were?
The Li family!
"It must be taken!" Wu Zhao's tone left no room for negotiation, and he took out a piece of information as he spoke.
Li Yuanxing picked up the information and sat on the recliner to read it. Wu Zhao actually helped Li Yuanxing light a cigarette and said: "No matter how difficult it is, you must take advantage of it."
Li Yuanxing was reading the information, which was from modern times.
Yaoxian! It is called this name in modern times, and it was also named in the Tang Dynasty, but the scope was different. This name was already in use in the Sui Dynasty.
The information is very detailed. This Yao County is a treasure house of rare species resources in the plateau of Weibei. More than 800 plant species have been identified, with a forest coverage rate of 41.4%. The average annual precipitation within the territory is 567.8mm, and the frost-free period is 228 days.
With an average temperature of 12.3 degrees Celsius and a large temperature difference between day and night, it is a eugenic area for top-notch Chinese medicinal materials. There are nearly 400 species of wild Chinese medicinal materials.
"If you want to have a base for Chinese patent medicines, you must occupy this place!" Wu Zhao said firmly.
Li Yuanxing nodded silently, yes, Sun Laodao is coming back soon. It would be good to build that Taoist temple in Yaoxian County. And I heard that it is Sun Laodao's hometown. This is the hometown of Honor Return.
Wu Zhao smiled strangely and placed another piece of information in Li Yuanxing's hand.
Li Yuanxing was shocked when he saw this. A coal reserve report from later generations stated that it was 80 million tons.
What does 80 million tons represent? The city of Chang'an is used for heating and cooking, which is really enough for thousands of years.
"If you want to have enough coal, this place is much better than your small mining area in Jinghe! So we must occupy it!" This is another reason why we must occupy it.
Li Yuanxing nodded again: "Yes, this place is really useful!"
Wu Zhao smiled again, and put another piece of information in Li Yuanxing's hand. Li Yuanxing took a deep breath to see what else would surprise him more. But at this time, Wu Zhao said: "Iron mine, crucible earth mine
, kaolin mines, oil shale mines, clay mines, all have amazing reserves, even natural gas, but we can’t dig them out!”
Li Yuanxing stopped reading the detailed information and threw the three documents in his hand on the table: "What else?"
Wu Zhao held out two fingers: "Limestone, 200 million cubic meters of reserves. Don't tell me that you don't know about several cement plants there. Limestone plus coal, iron, and the most famous Yaozhou porcelain."
Although Li Yuanxing did not learn much in modern times, he read quite a lot.
Especially after coming from the Tang Dynasty, I studied hard and read more than ten times more books than when I was a student.
Yaoxian is a good place, and all of these mining areas are extremely important.
Especially kaolin, which will be used in both paper and rubber production in the future.
Li Yuanxing lit another cigarette, leaned on the recliner, and asked slowly: "Do you know who this land belongs to?"
"After checking, there are seven or eight people here. It's easy for ordinary people to say, we just need to pay or exchange land. But there are four princes here, as well as three princes and an earl. The biggest thing they have in common is...
"Wu Zhao paused for a moment, and Li Yuanxing also spoke at this time: "They are all surnamed Li, and they are either brothers or uncles and nephews of this king!"
Wu Zhao threw the information at Li Yuanxing: "Anyway, it's up to you!"
Li Yuanxing put these materials in a bag, marked it with a red mark, and put it on his bookshelf. This was already the sixth bag with a red mark.
Red means it must be done and must be done.
"Let me think about it, how to handle this?" Li Yuanxing finally agreed.
Wu Zhao also knew that Li Yuanxing was in trouble, but he believed that Li Yuanxing would definitely have a way. There was no point in urging him. If he couldn't come up with a good solution, and the conflict with the Li family intensified, even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be in a very difficult situation.
Li Yuanxing closed his eyes and thought carefully. As for mining areas, Yaoxian County is the most concentrated. If we occupy this place, it will be enough for what we need in three to five years. If we don't occupy this place, we will occupy one area in the east and one area in the west.
Not to mention how troublesome transportation is, it is also not easy to manage.
What's more, spreading out to occupy land is also easy to attract people's attention. There are more people to face.
Chang'an County was originally owned by Prince Yin, and it was regarded as an ownerless land when it was occupied.
Li Yuanxing is really thinking carefully, which requires thinking about interests, gains and losses, and possible methods. Even how to make concessions and how to fight.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Li Yuanxing kept his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed as he thought. Wu Zhao looked a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
Yaoxian must be occupied.
"Your Highness!" Old Wolf's voice appeared outside the door.
"Say it!" Li Yuanxing replied lazily.
"First thing, Chang Shi wrote a few notes for his personal entourage to send back to Chang'an. Do you want to send someone to check?" Lao Lang said outside the door.
Li Yuanxing opened his eyes and sat up straight: "Come in!"
King Qin’s study! In a forbidden area among forbidden areas, Lao Lang got not only orders from King Qin Li Yuanxing, but also a secret decree from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. No matter who dares to break into King Qin’s study privately, he will be killed without mercy!
Being able to enter this study is not only an honor, it is the ultimate trust of King Qin.
The old wolf felt more excited in his heart. He gently opened the door and came in, then closed the door gently.
The old wolf did not raise his head. He just lowered his head after entering the room. Even if he felt light and shadow flashing in front of him, he had no intention of raising his head.
"Since I let you in, I don't treat you as an outsider. Take a look at the map on the wall on the right!"
The old wolf straightened up and saw a map composed of light and shadow. He stretched out his hand to block the light and the map was broken. He quickly took a step back and the part he blocked disappeared. After seeing the map clearly, the old wolf said: "Your Highness, Chang'an is
Two hundred miles north, Yaoxian County!"
"Go and check as much as you can. I want this place."
"Yes!" Old Wolf will not ask for reasons. Wherever King Qin can put in effort to study, he must get it.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Old Wolf, why don't you ask me why you want this place?"
"If your Highness needs it, Old Wolf will do it!"
"It will take a maximum of three years and a minimum of one year to take this place. The knife I gave you can be forged. Is this reason enough?" After Li Yuanxing explained, the old wolf clenched his fist tightly. That knife is
A peerless knife. I cut off more than a dozen Turkic scimitars with only minor damage.
Most of Ashling's death was caused by being killed by a knife.
"Don't take Cui Dunli too seriously. Someone went to spy on the Seventh Family, but I believe that the information they got was only what the Seventh Family wanted people to know. What the Seventh Family doesn't want people to know may not be able to detect.
, so if you believe too much in the information you get, you will harm yourself!"
Li Yuanxing further believed that the news was only an aid, not an absolute.
Old Wolf bowed and said, "Old Wolf, I understand!"
"Is Shiwei's envoy arriving soon?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
"Yes, there are still ten miles away from Qin Wangzhuang, and Cui Changshi is already waiting for him at Zhuang Wangzhuang." After the old wolf answered, he added: "Your Highness, Shi Wei's envoy has brought a lot of gifts!"
