Chapter 141: The Value of Land

It took two and a half days to fly back to my hometown Hyun Qingcheng.

It's August 16th.

There are only about ten days left before the opening of the academy.

The previous plan to take a good rest in my hometown for a month was completely ruined.

After returning to the academy, he will be promoted from the first year to the second year, and there will be more exciting waiting for him.

His own age is about to turn sixteen, and in this world, he can be regarded as an adult.

So as soon as he returned to the Bai family, he heard a lot of complaints.

Especially his mother Lan Zhixi's complaints, which quickly grinded out his ears calluses.

"Son, don't you like Chu Tianjiao in Bilan City, why don't you have the slightest interest in the fairy Mu Feiyan in Xingtang City?

"In the past few days, many families have sent matchmakers to ask for marriage with my Bai family, and hundreds of photos have been sent, all of which are in good condition, why aren't you interested?"

"Son, there's really nothing wrong with your body, right?"

It turned out that the nationally eye-catching competition in Xingtang City, after being overwhelmingly reported by hundreds of media, is now flying in vain, and he is quite famous.

Including his super strength to defeat all kinds of geniuses in the ring within three minutes, the polyamorous love story about Chao Yuanhao, Chu Tianjiao, Xiaowei and others, and the coincidental rescue of Fairy Mu from the hands of evil cultivators...... His name and story, after various processing, gradually became known to the gossip parties across the country.

At the speed of light propagation of wireless telegraphy, his parents' clansmen who were far away from his hometown could know his every move through the newspaper.

And because the development of the Bai family over the years has been quite good, he Bai Feiyang dissolved the marriage again, and many families who are optimistic about the future of the Bai family have sent matchmakers to request a strong marriage.

Among them, there are several families, even large families with assets of more than 10 billion.

As for Zhou Ming's announcement that there was a lover named "Xiaowei", these family high-level people had the same thoughts as Na Mu Zhenquan, and they didn't take it to heart at all.

Because no matter how many lovers Bai Feiyang has, compared with the main room of the marriage, he can only make a partial room at most.

Zhou Ming naturally asked the family to get rid of everything, he is still a student, he wants to focus on his studies, and he has no plans to get married.

So this provoked his mother Lan Zhixi's nagging and complaints, which made him annoyed, and said that he would go back to school immediately if he mentioned it again, and he would not stay for half a day.

Mother Lan Zhixi stopped slightly.

Zhou Ming walked out of the house and went to a Xuanqing fruit processing factory in the south of the city with his father Bai Xutang to learn about the family's various industries.

Inside the factory building.

A semi-automated psionic machine assembly line requires twenty-four monks above the late stage of Qi refining to work in three shifts to maintain more than eight hours a day.

Just to maintain this team of monks, the annual salary of the factory is more than 5 million spirit coins.

But their value creation should not be underestimated, just because of the existence of these more than 20 monks, this factory, the annual processing capacity of Xuanqing fruit, reached 500,000 tons.

It accounts for a quarter of the entire Xuanqing fruit processing industry.

Create the benefits of hundreds of millions of spirit coins.

There are also 1 million tons of Xuanqing fruit, which can be used as the "rabbit food" of pot rabbits and sold to thousands of cities across the country without how to process them.

With these rabbit grains alone, Hyun Qingcheng can net 200 million spirit coins a year.

Hearing that so much "rabbit food" was sold, Zhou Ming was taken aback and said: "1 million tons, this requires at least 5 million pot rabbits to eat, right?

You must know that the cost of raising pot rabbits is very high, only "rabbit food", every year to gnaw off 200 kilograms of shelled Xuanqing fruit (the shell of Xuanqing fruit is hard and heavy, but the flesh is very light), with more than 20 spirit coins per kilogram, in each rabbit, the annual cost of nearly 5,000 spirit coins.

For those poor families, 5,000 spirit coins are enough for a family to eat and clothe for a year.

But the rich man used it to raise a rabbit.

There are still nearly five million rich people who are raising.

Bai Xutang said with a smile: "Yang'er, don't underestimate the number of wealthy people in Wancheng State, last year, the population of Wancheng Country exceeded 2 billion, at the rate of one percent, the families with assets of more than one million spirit coins should be more than 20 million households, and there are more than 5 million monks in the class, which is also the main force to buy pot rabbits." ”

"But 5 million pot rabbits...... Doesn't it mean that all families with a little money have bought a pot rabbit?"

That's really a bit of an exaggeration.

"Hahaha~"

Bai Xutang laughed heartily: "This is actually the credit of the rabbit queen, some animal experts have found that the pot rabbit is actually very smart, the adult pot rabbit, IQ equivalent to a six-year-old child, can understand a lot of human orders, and each pet rabbit before selling, the rabbit queen will train them, screen out the well-behaved and obedient, can do more verbal actions, sell to humans to enjoy the blessings, stupid and disobedient elimination, stay in the rabbit group to plant trees." ”

Such a cute, well-behaved and obedient pet pot rabbit is naturally very popular in the market, and it was even snapped up at a higher price.

Zhou Ming was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

He hadn't paid attention to this for a year, and Queen Rabbit actually made a big news for him.

But...... Why did Queen Rabbit do this?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Ming immediately understood.

Take the giant panda on the earth as a comparison, in the face of strong humans, animals want to survive well, and it is very important to sell cuteness.

In addition to the extremely hard teeth and the fast speed of running, the rest are scum, the survival of the race, and extremely dependent on the Xuanqing Fruit Forest, so after careful consideration, the Rabbit Queen found that it is better to give full play to its own cute attributes and form a dependent survival relationship with humans.

After all, selling cuteness is simple and easy to learn, human beings are strong and rich, climb the high branch of human beings, and the pot rabbit clan will never perish.

Zhou Ming had to admire the wisdom of the rabbit queen and the clever survival wisdom of the weak.

In short, the golden combination of Xuanqing Fruit and Pet Rabbit can bring at least 400 million spirit coins of net income to Hyun Qingcheng every year.

This is an extremely staggering number.

At present, there are no more than 30 families in the Wancheng Kingdom that can achieve this level of profitability.

So there is no need to be surprised at all, why many old big families have extended olive branches to the Bai family in Hyun Qingcheng and submitted a marriage request.

"Son, in fact, the most valuable thing in my Bai family in the future is not Xuanqingguo and Pot Rabbit, do you know what they are?"

Bai Xutang stood on a small dirt slope, looked south, opened his arms, and said with an intoxicated expression: "Land, endless and vast land. ”

"The miasma forest in the south with a radius of more than 100,000 miles, my Bai family can open up as much as they want, and in a few decades, my Qingcheng can grow into a giant city in the south. ”

"Such good geographical conditions are incomparable to any mainland city, and in the future, the development potential of my Bai family is endless. ”

Bai Xutang's face was full of longing and excitement.

"Land, Miasma Forest?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and interrupted him: "The cost of reclamation of the miasma forest is very large, and it can go deep for a hundred miles without seeing it for a hundred years, and then it is as big as a country of ten thousand times, with a radius of more than ten thousand miles, there is no shortage of land, and for now, the value of land will not be very large." ”

"Wrong, son, you're wrong. ”

Bai Xutang waved his finger at him and said: "I don't know if you have read the recent "Wancheng National News", population experts said that the current population of Wancheng Country, after rough statistics, has exceeded 2 billion, and is conservatively estimated to be between 22 and 2.3 billion, double that of thirty years ago, and is still growing rapidly, and it is expected that it will increase to 4 billion in twenty years. ”

"The upper limit of land tolerance in the country is about 4 billion people, and if this value is exceeded, the contradiction between population and resources will continue to intensify, and even lead to internal unrest. ”

"At present, there are already signs of this situation in several cities with large populations in the country of Wancheng, because of the overpopulation, they have to buy land from surrounding cities. ”

"It's just that for mainland cities, it's easy to reduce land, but it's hard to increase, and it's generally not sold. ”

"Therefore, with the increase of population around land resources, there will be more and more disputes and contradictions between cities in the future. ”

"Many city lords are aware of this problem, and recently the Song family of Phantom Lan City sent a housekeeper over, saying that they wanted to buy a piece of land from me, preferably close to the Miasma Forest, and bid ten million spirit coins to buy a radius of ten miles, but they were rejected by their father. ”

Bai Xutang shook his head, if it was before, ten million spirit coins were exchanged for a radius of ten miles, he felt that a hundred agreed, but now, he would not sell it if it rose ten times.

Because now in the country of Wancheng, almost every city has begun to realize the value of land.

The inner cities, whose populations are about to reach their upper limits, are struggling to figure out solutions.

A remote area like Hyuncheongseong, which is adjacent to the miasma forest, suddenly became a fragrant and gluttonous existence.

Zhou Ming was thoughtful.

"As the saying goes, Phnom Penh silver horn grass belly, remote areas, there are indeed benefits of remote areas. ”

"It's just that Wancheng Country is still early to reach the upper limit of population, why are so many cities starting to worry about the lack of land?"

"The limit of 4 billion people is even more nonsense, the territory of Wancheng Country is nearly 200 million square kilometers, half of the land area of the earth, and it is not too much of a problem to accommodate 8 billion people, why has it just exceeded 2 billion, and the media began to hype up the land issue?"

"Is it ......?"

In his heart, he vaguely guessed something.
