Li Yuanxing stayed in Huazhou for three days and concentrated on studying Huazhou's reform plan.
There are only more than 18,000 households in Huazhou, which is less than 100,000 people.
As mentioned earlier, Huazhou was the modern Weinan City in later generations.
The large granary in Guanzhong in Weinan is excellent in various industries such as animal husbandry, fishing, agriculture, and forestry, because Weinan has very rich water resources, both above and below ground.
In later generations, Weinan had a population of not just one million, but tens of millions.
Currently, Huazhou in the Tang Dynasty only had a population of 100,000. This extremely small population made the development of Huazhou both difficult and easy.
The difficulty is due to insufficient population, making it impossible for Huazhou to complete large-scale development.
It's easy to say, because the population is small. As long as the Weihe River is tidied up, it can be said that Huazhou will have endless fertile land. If there are really 8 million acres, each household in Huazhou will have 400 acres of land on average. If only calculated based on adults
, that is, each person has a thousand acres of land. In addition, many people do not work in agriculture, and the average person has more than a thousand acres.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanxing suddenly lost interest.
In the afternoon of the next day, after conveying his reform opinions, Li Yuanxing left Huazhou.
"Your Highness, wasn't it originally planned for three days?" Yuan Chun asked beside Li Yuanxing.
"I suddenly lost interest. The population of Huazhou is too small. Can we cultivate eight million acres of fertile land?" After Li Yuanxing asked a question, Yuanchun could no longer answer.
Li Yuanxing leaned on the cushions and thought.
"Your Highness, then Huazhou is still there?" Yuanchun asked again.
"Move, the matter of repairing the river has been decided, and the Ministry of Revenue has also provided money and food. If you don't move, how will you explain it to the ministers of the six ministries. There will be good land but no people to breed. We will talk about it at that time. Let's repair the river first." Li Yuanxing said.
He slowly closed his eyes.
It seems that I am still young and enthusiastic, but I have lost my cool.
His own staff council is full of idiots. They haven't learned their real skills yet, and the people who can really do the work are already too busy to spare and they can't spare any time now.
Wu Zhao is in Yaozhou. The princesses are very enthusiastic about the Chamber of Commerce and Industry these days, and Li Yuanxing seems to be idle.
On the way back, Li Yuanxing took away a hundred pieces of rough-ground marble from the quarry. The equipment here was not good, although the manpower was sufficient.
"Your Highness, are we going to continue working here?" the gruff-voiced stonemason, surnamed Tie, shouted again.
Li Yuanxing sat on the side of the carriage, threw a bag of juice to the stonemason, and then asked: "Old Tie, do you think you can make money by quarrying and selling stones, or by selling the quarry."
The old man's loud voice suddenly became mute. It's such a complicated problem.
Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry and turned to ask Yuan Chun: "Yuan Chun, what do you think?" Yuan Chun also ran out of ideas. Li Yuanxing looked at Lu Maofeng again, and Lu Maofeng also shook his head: "Your Highness, what you said is too weird!"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Old man, you can build a workshop here that can have 500 craftsmen and 1,000 quarry workers. After building many, you can calculate how much money you can earn in a year. You will know this.
No?" After Li Yuanxing asked, Lao Tie nodded: "Your Highness, in this meeting, I can't do arithmetic, and the sons of a few people have also learned some arithmetic!"
"Sure, when the time comes, who wants to buy this quarry? Calculate how much money Qin Wangzhuang invested in it, and then add five years of profits, and sell it at this price. The workshop being sold is not a craftsman, but a workman.
The workshop can be sold, and the craftsmen will not change hands, but you can help them train craftsmen. Then find a place to build another one, build it, and then sell it!"
Lao Tie held the bag of juice in his arms, then started counting with his fingers.
Li Yuanxing waved to Lu Maofeng: "Go home!"
"Get up! Your Highness returns home!" After Lu Maofeng shouted, Li Yuanxing's car immediately started to move.
After Li Yuanxing left far away, Lao Tie was still there calculating.
Watching the car drive away from a distance, Lao Tie's sons ran over. They didn't have Lao Tie's desperate courage, and they dared to speak at the top of their voices in front of His Majesty the King of Qin.
"Da, don't forget it. You can make more than ten years' worth of money in one year!"
"It seems so!" Lao Tie squinted his eyes and slapped his eldest son hard on the head: "If you think I don't know, go away and go to work. We built this workshop in two months."
(In an old Chang'an saying, "大" means father! It's also pronounced with two tones!)
Whether Lao Tie can figure out that Li Yuanxing is not interested, but he no longer wants to engage in industry, especially those areas that are not under his direct management.
More importantly, Li Yuanxing increasingly found that he did not have enough manpower.
It was already night when we returned to Chang'an, and for the first time, there was no one in Li Yuanxing's main room.
"Tonight is very special!" Li Yuanxing stood in his main house and felt indescribable when he saw the house was empty.
Yuanchun didn't know why. After going out to inquire, he came back and said: "Your Highness, several princesses are in a meeting, and they are studying the matter of tomorrow's investment conference. I also heard something, that is, in today's Datang Newspaper, the Holy Emperor wanted to
Auction the Liaodong gold mine at the China Merchants Association!"
"Gold mine?" Li Yuanxing really thought he heard wrong.
"Your Highness heard it right, it's a gold mine. There are some gold mines in Liaodong that are ready for auction. And those in charge of the auction are several princesses. I also heard that the nobles in Chang'an City who want to buy the gold mine have already been counted.
I don’t know, there are hundreds of people just sending name cards.”
Yuanchun told Li Yuanxing everything he knew.
"Interesting, quite interesting!" Li Yuanxing said as he hid in his clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Yuanchun's heartbeat quickened.
One thing she didn't say to Li Yuanxing was that Cui Yingying told her that she would serve His Highness King Qin tonight. Of course, if she felt that she couldn't bear it, she could choose one of the twelve golden hairpins.
Yuanchun had already made his choice, and he chose one who was only one year younger than himself and ranked second among the twelve golden hairpins.
See you May!
Mei Jian plays the piano very well, and her piano skills can be ranked among the top three in Chang'an.
Mei saw that she was going to get her piano now.
Li Yuanxing walked a few steps and then stopped, turned around and picked up his clothes: "Yuan Chun, go out and ask someone to prepare two soft sedans, and then ask someone to prepare bath water. I am going to a farm, and suddenly I thought of something.
Interesting things to come.”
"Yes!" Yuan Chun naturally did not dare to disobey Li Yuanxing's order and immediately went to make arrangements.
In King Qin's farm, Old Baitou was called to greet him.
"The matter that I confessed last time should have a result if I calculate the time."
"Your Highness has told you too many things. As soon as there are results, I will report them to Zhuangzi. I'm afraid Your Highness is busy and won't pay attention!" Old Baitou followed Li Yuanxing and whispered back.
Li Yuanxing stopped: "It's the mushrooms, fungus, and white fungus."
"I applied for it four days ago. These are already mature. They are just dried according to His Highness' instructions, so they were not sent to His Highness." As the old man said, he took out a small book from his arms and flipped through it.
.
Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and said, "Show it to me!"
Li Yuanxing was puzzled after taking Old Baitou's notebook. Is this the writing on Earth? It seems that Mars does not have such writing. There are many weird symbols and magical circles on it.
Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly and slapped the book on Lao Baitou's chest: "I told you to read, and this is what you know!"
Old Baitou is already forty-eight years old. He is considered an old man in the Tang Dynasty. If it were not for the war, he would have hugged his great-grandson. When Li Yuanxing said this, his face turned red.
"Your Highness, this knowledge is more difficult than farming."
"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore. Tell me what are you writing?" Li Yuanxing said in his heart. It would be really difficult for someone who is almost fifty years old to learn to read now. I'm afraid the old man will have to use
You can use words from outside the galaxy to record your own affairs. If you can remember them clearly, you can be considered a talent.
After hearing Lao Baitou's report, Li Yuanxing picked up the folding fan and wanted to hit someone.
"Did I say that fungus and white fungus should be dried in the sun? You can eat fresh mushrooms. If they are cut into shreds and dried in the sun for preservation, they will be mature in thirteen days. You only reported it four days ago.
And now you’re going to dry them all?”
"This, Your Highness, listen to what I have to say!"
Old Baitou was not nervous at all. Even if he was really slapped by Li Yuanxing this year, he would only be happy. So after being scolded by Li Yuanxing a few times, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, we are here to store food. You old man
I have said that after drying, it can be stored for several years without any problem. There will be no vegetables in winter. This is the best delicacy. However, I went to inquire about it and found that there are dry fungus sellers on the market, and they are all picked up from the forest.
, the price per kilogram is more than 700 yuan, and some of them are of particularly good quality, which cost at least the same amount. Anyone who has seen or eaten the white fungus in our village sells it for three to five yuan, and it is not expensive.
In winter, the price will be doubled, whether you want to buy it or not, then the rich businessmen want to eat and have no place to buy. If they want to buy, they only need to buy from us. If we don't sell, they want to buy..."
What he said at the beginning was still serious, but what he said later became more and more outrageous, nonsense after nonsense, and roundabout after roundabout.
Not to mention several stewards from the same village, even the personal guards who were close to Bai Erwa wanted to step forward and stop him.
But His Highness King Qin listened happily, without interrupting or stopping, and just walked towards the greenhouse.
Finally, when they arrived at the door of the warehouse, Old Baitou shut up. He took out a key, and then two more stewards each took a key. There were three keys in total, and then they opened the warehouse door.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Li Yuanxing was really shocked.
Looking around, the shelves are filled with small bamboo baskets.
"How many?"
"Seventy thousand kilograms!" Old Baitou took out a page from his record book with extragalactic characters, took a look at it, and then reported a number to Li Yuanxing, and then began to add: "Your Highness, our greenhouse will start from the beginning of spring.
If there is no need to raise seedlings, everything will be empty. Old ladies have nothing to do, so let them plant this." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
