Jiang Xingchen was very happy when the curse land began to develop. Not to mention anything else, it was only a hundred miles away from the sea, which was of great significance to the future entry of overseas. Rubber, sugar cane, pepper, these things are all needed for future development, and relying solely on the power of the Wang family is definitely not enough.
Moreover, due to geographical problems, the resource limitations of Xingchenling are too large. A larger regional range means that more minerals can be discovered, which is of great significance to the future development of Xingchenling.
In addition, the number of Yuan stones is also a problem. Now the number of Yuan stones is getting smaller and smaller, which is also one of the reasons why Jiang Xingchen turned his attention to the ocean. In his understanding of this world, Yuan stones have become the same energy as oil, coal mines and other energy sources as before, and are the key to future development.
Jiang Xingchen was very happy with the development of the new region. But Grandpa Fu and the old man seemed worried.
Of course, Grandpa Fu was worried about money. After the auction, he had a total of 340 million yuan, but later, in order to develop the precision curved array, Jiang Xingchen used 100,000 stones, or 100 million yellow crystal coins in one breath.
Although there are many tourists and earn a lot of food and other aspects, in order to improve tourists' awareness of Star Residence, all three parties are free, and there are special thank-you fans, which are basically pure investment. The development of the Cold Iron Mine also costs a lot of money, and the salary of one thousand orcs, and food and drink is not small, and the Cold Iron is used for itself and is not sold at all. In addition, the staff's salary burden, the consumption of more than three thousand wild wolves and millions of King Kong ants is not much.
Of course, the subsequent concert made a lot of money, which made Grandpa Fu's money reach 300 million again... But this time, Han Xiaowu went to develop the Curse Land and transferred half of it. It was 150 million. The money left in his hands now was not enough to support the construction of underground pipelines this year.
Looking at Grandpa Fu who was complaining in front of him, Jiang Xingchen sighed in his heart that the formation consumed too much on Yuanshi. He worked hard to perform more than 20 shows, and the ticket price had reached the highest in history. The money he earned was not enough for the formation to consume in three days.
"Hey~ How many formations are there behind it? The more we develop it later, the more difficult it is..." Jiang Xingchen sighed secretly. He comforted Grandpa Fu and said, "We are not investing at one time. It should be fine if 150 million yuan will support it until June and July... By that time, I promise we have money!"
Jiang Xingchen was still a little confident in saying this. After the papermaking workshop on the Curse Land was completed, the paper output will increase significantly. He has already made plans. He will publish books and write some classic stories at that time, which will definitely make a lot of money.
In addition, in three or four months, the Star Monthly will charge a second advertising fee. By then, the bidding method will be a lot of money.
Also, as long as cement is researched and building materials are developed, a lot of money can be saved. If the output is high enough, there will be some profits.
If time is rich, I promised the Hua family to study the brand new spices. It has been almost two years since the Hua family was embarrassed to urge him, but Qin Manwu told him several times. At that time, dumping the newly made things overseas will definitely make a big profit.
With the beginning of spring, the activity of big bees, the production of honey and candles will increase, and black silk has reached a certain scale, which are all profitable things.
This year, Jiang Xingchen is also preparing to divide several large areas, specializing in planting sesame seeds and sunflowers, dumping unique things such as sesame oil, mahjong and melon seeds outward. The planting area of the tea garden is also preparing to further expand.
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen is not worried about the funds for the construction of underground facilities in the territory this year! Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, he should not draw 100 million at a time like he develops a precision curve formation, so that no matter how much money is, it will not be enough to spend!
After Jiang Xingchen's repeated promises, Grandpa Fu left. As soon as he left, the old man came behind him.
"Boy, you let Han Xiaowu take away all the ant queens. There will be no problem, right? What should I do if the remaining King Kong ants do?" As soon as I entered the door, the old man asked loudly.
"What should I do? That's it, what else can I do?" Jiang Xingchen laughed.
"Hey, boy, I'm not kidding you!" The old man was so stern.
"Take you down, I don't know you yet!" Jiang Xingchen curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You are not afraid that the defense of the territory will weaken, so you have to guard me every day and have no time to play.
"Uh!" The old man was stunned, stared at Jiang Xingchen in a daze, and said in surprise: "You can even see this!"
"Nonsense, I don't know you yet. These days, ribs are in the lord's mansion every day, and I don't dare to go out anymore. It's not your torture. You think I don't know!"
The old man stopped hearing this and shouted, "What do I torture? I am observing whether I know if I know... Do you know what changes are in this section of ribs?"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned. What changes. He has been busy making grenades for Han Xiaowu and the others these days, so how can he pay attention to these things?
"What are the changes in the ribs?" Jiang Xingchen then asked.
"It has become much more honest than before!" the old man laughed.
"Ouch!" Jiang Xingchen staggered under his feet, and he fell down. This old bastard is nothing.
"Old guy, you're playing tricks on me, right..." Jiang Xingchen was so angry that his forehead was thunderous.
Looking at Jiang Xingchen's appearance, the old man felt relieved, and then said again: "Hehe, boy, are you kidding... Haven't you noticed that the strong fragrance on the ribs is gone?"
Jiang Xingchen immediately frowned and whispered: "Is that so, I really didn't pay attention!"
"You are busy every day, of course you didn't pay attention! It's probably because of the blood of the sandworms. The strong fragrance on the ribs has really disappeared... If you don't believe it, you can go to the outer edge of the back mountain to see, and all the beasts there have retreated!"
After the old man said this, Jiang Xingchen knew it was true.
After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Xingchen sighed heavily: "Hey! He also said that he would build a hunting ground smoothly. There is no hope now!"
"Okay, Xingchenling has so many things now. Next year, it will be underground construction and new regional development. You can have time to build a hunting ground... Besides, you will have to take out the pork ribs sooner or later. If you really build a hunting ground, wouldn't the pork ribs be tied to death on Xingchenling, which has a nonsense effect!"
"That's true!" Jiang Xingchen thought for a while. What the old man said was indeed reasonable. There were so many plans this year, and he really didn't have time to build a hunting ground. Moreover, he would definitely not be able to tie the ribs to death.
"Then let's think about the hunting ground when you're free in the future..."
The old man sighed and pursed his lips and said, "It is the number of high-end ingredients in the future that will be reduced!"
"It's okay!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand. The number of mountain delicacies is small. Isn't there still a seafood flavor? When the curse land is built, as much as you need, the vitality can ensure that the seafood can be transported to Xingchen Collector alive.
After talking about this topic, the old man changed his subject and asked, "Boy, to be honest, the queen of the ant is not here. Are the remaining Vajra ants really okay? If you can't control it, the Star Collector will be in danger! 500,000 ants, if you get angry, even the pink ones will have to run away!"
Jiang Xingchen gave the old man a blank look and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not sure that I can let the queen leave... Before the queen left, a batch of ant eggs were left to hatch new queens! They are in groups this time!"
"That's it..." The old man breathed a long sigh and suddenly asked again: "Boy, spring will begin in two months. I remember that you said you wanted to get a new variety of tea last year, and you used more than 100,000 yuan stones..."
"This old guy's thinking is too jumpy, why did he jump to the tea again all of a sudden?" Jiang Xingchen was speechless, stunned for a while before waved his hand and said, "The effect is not good, don't worry about it!"
After saying that, Jiang Xingchen ignored the old man and walked out of the room quickly.
The old man stared at Jiang Xingchen's back stupidly and murmured: "The effect is not good... 100 million yellow crystal coins, 100,000 stones were thrown away in vain..."
Not long after, the old man heard a crazy howl from the lord's mansion: "It's a loser~"
The ribs standing on the yard wall were so scared that they shuddered, flapped their wings and flew into the sky, quickly escaping...
Jiang Xingchen left the lord's mansion and went directly to Qingshan Village Research Institute. He was very busy in the past half month and had no time to see the progress of cement research. However, Xianning had not come to find him, and probably hadn't researched it yet.
Sure enough, when he arrived, Xian Ning was frowning, thinking hard at the pile of powder, but he didn't find his existence.
"How is it?" Jiang Xingchen asked in a low voice when he came to Xianning's back.
"I have made many adjustments to the ratio of limestone and clay. I first grind it, then calcined it, and then grind it, but the effect still does not meet the requirements of cement...ah!"
Xian Ning was halfway through the answer, and then she woke up. There was another person behind her and she couldn't help but scream.
When she turned around and found that it was Jiang Xingchen, she let out a sigh, patted her chest with lingering fear, and said angrily: "I won't say hello when I come, I'll scare me to death!"
"Isn't this a matter of thinking about problems intently?" Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "It seems that the progress is not good!"
As soon as she talked about this, Xian Ning's expression immediately became serious and nodded, "I have tried the matching ratio many times, but the effect is not good. I think there must be more than these two things in the raw materials, there should be something else!"
Jiang Xingchen's expression calmed down and nodded, "I think so too, let's do it. I'll tell someone to find more materials and let's try it a little bit!"
When he said this, he was not sure. Although he didn't know much about cement, he knew that limestone must be the main material, clay also exists, and there are absolutely few other substances. But what he is worried about now is whether the composition of cement is the same as the original world.
Xian Ning nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way!" Then she sighed again and said, "There is no information, it is really a bit difficult to just explore it like this!" (To be continued...)
