Li Jing's men and horses set off quickly, and the imperial history team of the imperial court will not set off until mid-August, after all, Chang'an to Shanyang, but more than 1,600 miles, in this era when officials must ride horses when traveling, about 20 days is enough to travel, of course, this is also the reason why Li Shimin deliberately split the two groups of people.

Wei Shuhuan also successfully won a place to go to Shanyang, the grade of the imperial history is low, and with his official title of doctor, he can be regarded as the number two person in the imperial court supervision team.

After cooperating with Sun Xiangfu on the salted fish project in Lingnan and the coal project in Guanzhong, the Wei family is very profitable and has a great tendency to rise.

He has too many skills, and there are great benefits in cooperating with him, so Wei Shuhuan feels that the family should go all out to fight for this opportunity for Shanyang.

There are a lot of Guan Long families who have also seen this momentum with Wei Shuhuan, so they began to inquire about how they could make a profit in this round of investment promotion in Shanyang, and soon, everyone's doubts were answered by the newspapers circulating in Happy Village.

In fact, the newspaper was used by Sun Xiangfu to pit the family from the beginning, and this time is no exception, of course, this pit is basically no one can see it, because all that is written on it is about business.

The headline of the newspaper was "Detailed explanation of the Shanyang Investment Promotion Conference".

Then, first of all, it is a long explanation of the location of the land under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, climatic conditions, and folk customs.

The 800,000 acres of spice fields opened by the Wang family are about to be harvested, and nearly one million stone spices, who is not greedy?

After that, in the form of a question and answer, some of the words of Sun Zhengming, the protector of the capital of Anbei, were published on it, mainly talking about two points, the first is the urban planning of Shanyang New Town, and the second is the land planning of the Anbei metropolitan protectorate.

Shanyang City, which is the seat of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, is positioned by Sun Zhengming as a city of commerce and trade, where there will be strong industrial support, bulk commodity output, complete infrastructure and service industries, and this place is not far from the distance of the grasslands, and the straight-line distance to the Western Regions is much closer than Chang'an, after the new city is built, it is beautiful, clean, solid, safe, very livable, and it is an important window for Datang's future foreign trade, and it is very valuable for investment and real estate.

Speaking of land planning, in addition to letting everyone go to Shanyang City to invest in real estate and open shops, the land of Anbei Duhufu was also divided into Nuogan by Sun Xiangfu, and the more than 300 miles from Hequ County to Shuozhou, and 300 miles to the east with Shanyang as the center, all belong to the same type of land.

For a type of land, Sun Xiangfu also has a very clear explanation, that is, close to the water source, the land is fertile, there is no flood and drought disaster, the most suitable land for farming, this 600 miles of land, is commonly known as the Hetao area, roughly calculated, the place suitable for cultivation is about 5 million mu to 8 million mu.

Since then, from west to east, almost 500 miles from Datong to Ulanchabubu area, has been divided into second-class land by Sun Xiangfu, most of which are suitable for farming, have a certain distribution of water sources, and are also suitable for grazing.

In addition to this area, further to the northeast, or northwest, there are thousands of miles of land, all of which are temporarily divided into three types of land by Sun Xiangfu, that is, grassland, which is more suitable for grazing.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu took these grasslands out to make a fuss, not only for the Han people, he famously pointed out that business and real estate are regardless of nationality, that is to say, foreigners, or foreigners, can also come to Shanyang to buy a house, invest in opening a store, therefore, he also invited the Hui Ministry, Xue Yantuo Ministry, Murowei Ministry, Shen Ya Ministry, Xia Ministry, etc., the land is adjacent to the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to participate in this conference, they can also rent the grassland of the Tang Dynasty through bidding.

This is also a matter of no way, the population of Datang is too small now, and it can't take care of such a large area at all, rather than being occupied by them in fact, it is better to take it in name first, and collect a small amount of rent for them to use, if it can be used in three to five years, Sun Xiangfu is classified as a class and two types of land development, it is a very good result, and there can be no animal husbandry around Datang, with the growth of population, if you want to ensure meat, animal husbandry must be more developed, which depends on those nomads.

Finally, the key question arises, the conditions for participating in investment and real estate.

First of all, the requirements for buying a house, renting a shop, buying a house, you can negotiate the price with the owner yourself, but all the people who have a business in Shanyang City agree to abide by the local management regulations formulated by Shanyang City according to the actual situation.

The second is the requirement of bidding for land, the down payment amount must be paid on the spot to reach more than 10%, the transaction is considered successful, and the subsequent arrears, you can sign an installment repayment agreement with the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Of course, it is not that you get the land, you can throw it wherever it is, for the development time of the land, there is also a limit, a type of land, must reach more than 30% per year, and the development must be completed within three years.

Therefore, if you buy too much land and do not have enough manpower to develop it, please note that if you do not develop a sufficient amount of land every year according to the requirements, and cannot complete the development within three years, it is a breach of contract, and the government yamen has the right to take back the land or impose a fine depending on the circumstances.

The conditions of the second type of land are relatively relaxed, and only one percent of the development needs to be completed in one year, and all of them can be completed within eight years.

That is to say, how much land each family buys, how much labor needs to be prepared, they have to have a budget, Sun Xiangfu also has a rough estimate of the value for your reference, in the first year because of the need to open up wasteland, an average of 20 acres per young and strong laborer is appropriate, after the mature field, the next year, each laborer is responsible for planting more than 30 acres of ripe field, because there is the technical guidance of the Duhufu Yamen, farming is not so rough and simple things, and the yield is not comparable to the current Central Plains, so that the average is about 60 acres per household, It is at least twice as easy as those who plant Yongye fields in the Central Plains to plant 20 acres less, and than those who have planted their own Yongye fields in Guanzhong and go to other families to plant.

However, even so, everyone feels that it is acceptable, in terms of farming, no one is qualified to question Sun Xiangfu, the head of the farming family, because he has proven himself many times, and there are examples to see.

Judging from the harvest of wheat in Shuozhou this year, it is generally more than four stones, and it is proper and profitable for these families to organize farmers to plant outside the customs after taking the land, after all, one household is counted as two strong men, and the minimum of forty acres is counted, and the annual harvest is more than one hundred and sixty stones, how much can two strong men eat in a year? Counting the children, eating 30 stone of grain survives to death, so that a common person can create at least more than 150 stone of grain income for the main family in a year, and this is not counting after planting 30 acres of mature land in the second year.

Moreover, there is an account in the hearts of these families, and when the fields are ripe and mature, they will eventually let these serfs plant fields about the same size as those in Guanzhong, and the income is much more cost-effective than planting fields in Guanzhong, the key is that most of the fields in Guanzhong have owners, and it is not so easy for you to buy a large number of fields with money, and after the fields are planted, you have to pay taxes. Outside the customs, the tax rate is exempt for three years, and the tax rate after three years is also half of that of the Central Plains.

The more they calculated according to the calculation method listed by Sun Xiangfu in the newspaper, the more they felt that it was profitable, of course, the only worry was whether it was safe enough to farm outside the Guan, but when the people who went to the Guanwai formed a trend, everyone was not afraid, after all, since Li Shimin took the throne, where is Datang's external record, it is all a quick victory, a big victory.

During the military parade in October last year, the soldiers and horses were called a tough one! This gave them great confidence in the military power of the imperial court.

The most important thing is that Sun Xiangfu gave the starting price of the best type of land is only ten cents per mu, less than one percent of the price of one acre of land in Guanzhong, and the second type of land is directly halved.

The price of the three types of land is so cheap that it makes the sons of the family smile crookedly, and they are all imagining in their minds that they only take a cart of copper coins and buy the picture of thousands of miles of land outside the gate, can this be happy to die? Anyway, the court doesn't care if you raise cattle and sheep on it, for the family, if you invest this money, even if you lose everything, it will be harmless, but if you make a career in this land like Wang Xu, it will make a lot of money.

That's why they didn't understand the meaning of this starting price, what did Sun Xiangfu do when he sold his land?

Anyway, no matter what, the imperial court will make money in this operation, and it will guide them to develop outside the border and reduce the load of the land in the Central Plains. Moreover, once they bid for the land outside the gate, they will find that competition is everywhere, grabbing it, there is a big benefit, but they can't grab it, that is, it is a little better than ordinary farming, this sense of imbalance, Sun Xiangfu will create it for them from time to time.

Of course, the reason why Sun Xiangfu divided the number of fields and animal husbandry areas into such a size is because there are later generations as a reference, and the scope of these fields he demarcated will be important agricultural areas in later generations.

The impact of this newspaper is nationwide, and those who can read and understand the words on it have a certain mind, and with their knowledge, they know that as long as they take the land and invest a certain amount of farmers and food, in the future, this is a project that can bring long-term benefits to themselves.

Therefore, from the next day, the people in Chang'an went crazy in the market, and all the people who sold, regardless of adults and children, were all bought out, and the major families released the news that they recruited tenants and long-term workers, and they were treated as much as they wanted.

And in order to be more competitive when bidding for land and get more land, all the families began to drastically reduce the price of food in order to get cash, so that they would have enough cash to get Shanyang to auction land.

The effect of this newspaper was completely unexpected by Li Shimin, however, just as Li Shimin was about to call a large number of people to buy grain in the market, he was stopped by Ma Zhou.

"Your Majesty, Sun Du's plan has been accomplished, you might as well wait for their price to drop again."

People don't get fat in a day, nor do they get hungry and thin, so although the price of food in Chang'an has fallen sharply once, it is still running at a high level, because it has risen too high before, and when all the families have a demand for cash, the value of money will soar, and it will enter a cycle of competition.

Two days later, Li Shimin realized how correct Sun Xiangfu's remark was that competition makes people's roads narrower and narrower, and when they competed with each other for cash in the market, grain prices naturally fell all the way.
