In ancient times, there was no chemical means, Sun Xiangfu was engaged in agricultural research in later generations, naturally he often dealt with various chemical fertilizers, and he was also familiar with the composition of modern fertilizers, and he generally knew the method of production, but he did not intend to study it, the chemical industry, once it began to develop, the situation of environmental protection will be more severe, so he felt that it was more prudent to use the methods that could be thought of during this period.

In the early Tang Dynasty, due to the small population, the land development efforts nationwide were actually very small, even in Guanzhong, which had a high degree of development, after returning farmland to Zhongtian and Xiatian, there were only 15 million mu of cultivated land, that is to say, most of the country's areas are now actually lush vegetation mountain forest areas, and in these mountains, there is a thicker humus layer, which is also a kind of natural fertilizer with a large amount and strong fertility.

Now, most of the families in Guanzhong have their own carts and livestock, so let them go to the mountains by themselves when they are slack, pull some humus, and return to their own fields to apply, which can also have the effect of enhancing the fertility of the fields.

In the past, the people did not understand this, only knew that the yield in the fields after the flash flood would be much higher, but now, with Sun Xiangfu's explanation in the newspaper and the propaganda of the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture in the fields, they knew that the black mud formed by the original rotten plants, leaves, and the formation of the black mud is also the fertilizer of the best fertile fields, so each family has the will to respond to the call and go to the mountains to pull humus to make fertilizer.

After harvesting in the test field for two days, the effect of the experience made everyone feel it, there is no need to dry up here, obviously the lawn mower can be done in a day or two, so that so many people are here to suffer, waste and labor not to mention, but also prone to heat stroke and other safety accidents, so, on the third day, Li Tai, whose face was obviously darker, followed Sun Xiangfu to participate in the IPO meeting of Wangjiang Tower.

It is not the first time that Wangjianglou has held commercial activities, today, the wine banquet and food, in fact, are secondary, everyone is kicking the cash deposit ticket and household registration book of the bank, and come to buy stocks.

Of course, except for Li Tai, his eyes were on both sides of the hall, the food tables of the two long rows of buffets, and he was thinking in his heart, when to get rid of Sun Xiangfu and the waiters sent by Empress Changsun to monitor him, and eat a few bites, he hadn't tasted meat for a few days, and the food in Wangjianglou was delicious, and the aroma alone made him soak.

Since dawn, there have been a lot of people pouring into Wangjianglou, all of whom are wealthy groups such as courtiers and family magnates, and they have pulled some of their hoarded copper coins to the money village a day or two earlier, which has increased the cash reserves of the money bank by millions of yuan.

Now, after eating the free buffet breakfast in Wangjiang Tower, they began to gather in front of the stage, of course, the front row of positions, all belong to the high-ranking officials of the court, officials in Beijing, who are qualified to go to the court, almost all of them are not left behind.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, wearing a vest shirt, trousers and leather shoes, wearing a blue tie, Sun Xiangfu held a long indicator stick, and walked on the stage with great grace, at the same time, a map of the world that seemed a little rough was also put down from the background wall, and it was clearly visible by the various spotlights on the stage ceiling, of course, in this world, except for Sun Xiangfu and Li Chunfeng, no one has seen Sun Xiangfu rely on vague memory, roughly drawn on the plate map of several continents in the world, So they don't simply can't read the graffiti on it.

Directly in front of the stage, there is a large banner with yellow letters on a red background, which reads "Datang Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd. Prospectus".

"I believe that everyone present knows the purpose of our IPO meeting, then, before the official issuance of shares, I will first give you a detailed introduction to the business projects and development prospects of our Datang Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd., and then choose the number of shares you want to buy according to your own economic situation."

As soon as this opening remark was finished, the whole hall suddenly fell silent, they only knew that this was an investment industry initiated by the Happy Village Collective headed by Sun Xiangfu, and they didn't know what specific projects it was doing and how much money it could make.

"Everyone, please see, this is my map of the Datang coast."

Sun Xiangfu used his baton to draw a line on the coastline of a red-marked plot in the middle of the background wall, and then said, "The world we are in is actually a big water ball, because, no matter from which direction, our land is surrounded by the ocean, the ocean, how vast it is, it is not yet known, but in the far sea, there are other continents, which have been established, and now, these marked in red are the territory of my Datang, due to the limited size of the map, I can mark the state road at most, However, the inland, we don't need to look at it now, we can look at the overseas one first, because overseas is the place where our industry is about to develop business. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, the indicator stick began to point on the huge map again and said, "This is the Liuqiu Islands named by Emperor Yang of Sui in the former Sui period.

This is Hainan Island, on which there are Yazhou, Danzhou, and Zhenzhou of my Datang.

This is Yizhou Island, where dozens of tribes ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of people live on it.

This is Luzon Island, its territory is as big as the land of my Tang Dynasty, the island is rich in fruits, and it is also ruled by many large and small tribes, and its population is only less than 300,000 ······."

With Sun Xiangfu's introduction, everyone has an understanding of some islands off the coast of Datang, as well as the general situation on the islands, and, through the size drawn on the map, they also have a general understanding of the size of these islands.

Zhao Long's fleet has made more than one or two trips to these offshore islands, Feng An's fleet has run even more, the population of Lingnan, and many outputs have been delivered by the tribes on these islands, and of course, from these tribes, Feng Ang has also obtained a lot of things he wants.

After introducing the general situation, Sun Xiangfu came to talk about business, and he directly pointed the baton at a super large island behind a section of the sea area below Luzon, "I will call this the Australian continent, I believe, from the map, everyone also knows, its size, almost the same as our entire Tang Dynasty, and we have now determined that on such a large continent, there are only no more than 100,000 indigenous people living on it, and they don't even have their own writing, no political power, I live a slash-and-burn life that is even more backward than the barbarian tribes around my Datang.

For me, Datang, this is basically a huge piece of borderland. ”

"A borderland as big as my Datang?"

As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, not only people who didn't know a little about the ocean, but even the courtiers stood up from their seats in shock.

"Everyone, please be calm and let me speak slowly."

After Sun Xiangfu signaled everyone to be quiet, he said loudly again, "Don't think that on the map, it seems that it is not far from our Datang, but in fact, even if you start from the nearest Guangzhou Port, it will take more than 10,000 miles to reach here." ”

In later generations, it was almost 4,700 kilometers to fly from Guangzhou to Darwin, and if you take the sea route, it must be more than this distance, because the route from the Asian continent to the Australian continent is not far from the mainland framework, and it has to pass through the Indonesian archipelago in the middle, and there are many detours, in fact, it may take 12,300 miles to sail before it can reach the Australian mainland.

However, with the current navigation conditions of Datang, there is almost no risk to go all the way to Australia along the continental framework, because there are large islands along the way to replenish fresh water, and there is no vacuum area of more than 1,000 kilometers.

For the initial exploration of the Australian mainland, Lingnan's fleet has been completed, and the next step is to explore the most reasonable, stable and shortcut route.

I heard that it is thousands of miles away, and many courtiers finally calmed down, such a large piece of borderless land, if you don't take it, it's a pity, but it's thousands of miles away, and it's probably difficult to take advantage of the actual benefits, but it's a bit chicken.

Then, Sun Xiangfu began to explain again, saying, "Most places in Australia are grassland areas, wild rabbits, cattle and sheep, thousands of times more than the number of people, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with hundreds of millions of trillions, there is a tendency to become a disaster, then, our overseas exploration and investment Co., Ltd., there is something to do."

After the shortest route and the supply stations along the way are laid, with the benefit of the new water steamer, the voyage of more than 10,000 miles actually only takes about a month to arrive, even if it is cargo, it can be returned once in more than two months, that is to say, once our supply and fixed routes are erected, we Datang, there will be endless hare, beef and mutton. ”

"Hiss~"

All the people in the hall began to twitch between their teeth, in the world, there is still such a place?

However, since Sun Xiangfu dared to say it publicly, it was almost certain that it was true.

"This is the first business type of our Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd.

First of all, wherever our fleet goes, as long as there is no political power, we will erect the boundary monument of our Datang Dynasty on it, declaring territorial sovereignty, including, Liuqiu, Luzon, and hundreds or thousands of islands leading to the Australian mainland.

After the optimal route is formed, ports and wharves are set up on the islands along the way, and the output of these islands, as well as the output of the Australian mainland, is transported back to the mainland of our Datang by sea to sell, so that you can obtain relatively high profits.

For example, we will send hundreds of people to set up a large meat factory in mainland Australia, recruit local aborigines as laborers, and fish, slaughter, process and process the local cattle, sheep, and rabbits into jerky, canned, and leather goods, and transport them back to Datang by sea to sell, which is almost a profitable business, because those things, in mainland Australia, have almost zero cost, as long as they send a fishing team to catch them.

Of course, what we have to invest in the early stage is to manufacture seagoing ships, as well as the labor cost of supporting shipwrights and seafarers. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, everyone basically had a concept of this Datang Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd., this kind of money that was almost picked up for nothing was simply too easy to make.

But who knows, Sun Xiangfu's words did not speak, and he said, "If you think that our overseas exploration and investment joint-stock company is just a little business, it is a big mistake.

As you should know, five years ago, I introduced Champa rice that could be grown three seasons a year in the southern region along the southern coast of Champa in the jurisdiction of Linyi State.

Since then, through the Hu merchants of the Western Regions, cauliflower, blueberries, cherries, sisal and other crops native to the Western Regions have been introduced, similar crops, in this sea area, on these islands, there may be many more, they are like weeds, where they grow, waiting for us to discover, to introduce, and then plant, then, our exploration and investment company that found these crops will have the right to plant and promote these crops. In other words, we can directly open up a large amount of fertile land on the land suitable for the climate and environment where these crops can grow, plant it, and then pull it back and sell it to the market, or we can cultivate it and bring it back to Datang and sell it to everyone for planting. ”

"Hiss~"

This time, the sound of snorting was louder, and everyone's eyes were filled with golden light, golden gold.
