The proceeds of just one auction solved the two-thirds gap for Li Yu that his eldest father no longer gave Anton, which was really unexpected. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few days, Li Yu has been pondering whether to increase the collection of Andong Dongzhu and mountain ginseng, send more people to hunt, and obtain more precious furs.

What attracted Li Yu's attention was the diamond, which was just the accidental discovery of the gold prospecting mine in Qinglai Erzhou by the gold hunter Zuowei, and the ten diamonds with a total weight of two taels were auctioned for 50,000 yuan.

This reminded Li Yu of the report he accidentally saw about the largest diamond in country Z when he was on the Internet in his previous life, and knew that in later generations, S East and Liaodong are one of the three major diamond producing areas in country Z.

Li Yu played with the only remaining Dongzhu in his hand, which weighed as much as a pigeon's egg, and wondered if it was like gold mining to form a trading company specializing in diamond hunting?

Whether it is Wafangdian in Liaodong or the diamond deposits in Lai, Yi and Sizhou, there is no outside world to hear of it today. Famous for later generations, the four largest diamonds found in country Z are still buried in the earth waiting for treasure hunters to discover.

When Li Yu was pondering the establishment of a special trading company to search for diamonds, the residents of Luoyang City visited relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and during the banquet, they talked a lot about the land distribution measures of the occupied overseas islands published by King Yan in the royal weekly newspaper before the year.

Although middle-class families are full of curiosity about the overseas islands introduced in "Overseas Gonzo", most of them have no intention of venturing to the sea to open up wasteland.

On the other hand, the poor and luxury families are full of interest in the overseas islands.

Poor families seek opportunities to make a fortune out of the status quo, while luxury families occupy large tracts of land in overseas islands to grow economic seeds, and then sell them back to Middle-earth to make huge profits.

The price of cane sugar in Datang is high and unmarketable, and even the poor who can't eat know it. There are a lot of impurities, the appearance is very poor, and the worst brown sugar costs 600 wen a catty. I can't buy it at this price, and I may be raised by the merchant at any time.

If this is according to King Yan's promise, he will occupy a few thousand acres of land in Taiwan and plant all sugarcane, and after a year or two, cut and squeeze the sugar and transport it back to Datang, it will be an inexhaustible gold mine.

The bright-minded businessmen of the two capitals had already leveled the threshold of the overseas land consultation office, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the upper limit of 1,500 mu set by the consultation office for their businessmen.

One by one, the oily rich businessmen took the big gold bars in their hands and lay on the counter and shouted: "If you have money, you can buy one acre of land, and every five hundred acres of land will spend money to move ten civilians over......

"Don't listen to him, a certain person will give 20 acres of land, and a certain will approve 5,000 acres in Taiwan......"

Cui Xuan, who came to inspect the situation of the overseas field consultation office, looked at the noisy hall and won the red-faced wealthy businessmen for a piece of land in a good location. I couldn't believe that the scene was so hot for a while, but after thinking about it, I was relieved, Cui Xuan smiled and was about to leave the noisy consultation desk, when he saw a person coming out of the counter of the consultation desk and stopped.

"Hey, Mr. Cui, why didn't you notify the Sprinkle family when you came, why are you so anxious and don't let the Sprinkle family entertain you before leaving!"

The person who came was Li Xiaojie, the palace servant who was the shopkeeper of the Luoyang Consultation Office.

Because there was no suitable candidate for the opening of the consultation office, he had been serving with Li Yu for more than ten years, and he was the fake son of Li Shu, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, and was more trusted by Li Yu, so he got this good job.

Cui Xuan laughed and arched his hand: "I was just entrusted by my duty to inspect the situation of the consultation office, and I saw that there was nothing important about the consultation office, and it was inconvenient to disturb Gonggong Li because he was busy with official business." ”

"Hey! What father-in-law, Mr. Cui is really laughing. Li Xiaojie waved his hand and replied ashamedly: "The Sprinkle family is a small chamberlain beside His Royal Highness, trusted by His Royal Highness, and the consultation office can't find the right person for the Sprinkle family for this errand, how dare you call your father-in-law!" ”

Cui Xuan smiled lightly, and he didn't dare to despise Li Xiaojie, who was only eighteen years old. has been in the Yan Wangfu for several years, but it is very clear that there are hundreds of servants in the palace, but there are only seven or eight people who really win the trust of the Yan King, and this Li Xiaojie is a person who will please His Royal Highness and has a delicate mind.

Cui Xuan, who was born as a businessman, is sleek and sophisticated, and has a sharp mind, how can he believe Li Xiaojie's self-humility? The heartfelt heart and lungs praised Li Xiaojie and praised him, and the happy little waiter smiled happily, and praised himself by waving his hand.

"Mr. Cui, why do you say these businessmen are so keen on overseas land? Since the opening of the consultation office, the threshold of the Sprinkle family has been broken down. ”

Cui Xuan looked at the excited wealthy businessmen in the hall and smiled slightly: "This is actually the influence of the Juntian system, which stipulates that the land granted by industrialists and businessmen will be halved, and the merchants' families have wealth, but they cannot get enough land from the government. The land is the foundation of the people, and the merchants naturally want to own more land if they have money. Since they could not obtain enough land from the government, when His Highness opened another way before their eyes to obtain a large tract of land and an endless stream of money from the fields, how could a wealthy merchant who was good at profit-seeking miss this opportunity? ”

"Hehehe! Or the general manager of Cui can see through it, the Sprinkle family is confused that these businessmen are rich, why do they take the risk of greedy overseas places for several days! ”

Li Xiaojie had a very happy conversation with Cui Xuan, so he warmly invited him to the apse of the consultation office for a small gathering. Cui Xuan is not easy to refuse, and let him enter the apse, as the saying goes, how can the people around the boss be easily offended?

used to be just a small servant of King Yan's side, and he usually served His Royal Highness's daily life, but he didn't have the courage to tie up Cui Xuan. Now that the carp has crossed the dragon gate and become a usable person around His Highness, he finally met His Royal Highness and the former celebrity Cui Xuan, and Li Xiaojie had to make friends.

Behind a rockery in the backyard of the mansion of the Huangmen Squire and the East and West Taiwan Sanpin Zhang Wenjun, the two of them talked secretly about important things.

"Is it all done?"

"It's all done according to Da Yan's requirements."

"Okay, tell me to go down, don't talk about this matter in the mansion, lest Ah Weng know and blame him."

"Don't worry, the villain will order to go down and guard his mouth and not show a word in the house, so as to ensure that the master will never hear the news."

"Well, let's go down!"

"Whoa!"

Watching the attendants leave, Zhang Chengqi was relieved.

Nuo is not grandfather's strong opposition to King Yan absorbing people to overseas reclamation, and he did not hesitate to openly offend King Yan in the court. Seeing that His Majesty did not listen to his advice to stop King Yan's moves, his grandfather simply went home and strictly ordered the descendants of the Zhang family not to go to the Overseas Land Consultation Office to apply for a certificate of reclamation of overseas land.

It's just that when my grandfather gave a strict order to the clansmen, I applied for 3,000 acres of land in Taiwan in the name of Qinghe Zhang from the Overseas Field Consultation Office one step earlier.

Except for a few cronies and attendants in the Zhang Mansion, no one knew.

Zhang Chengqi was afraid that his grandfather would get angry and ban him when he learned what he had done, so he could only secretly allocate the manpower and money and food needed to reclaim the land in Taiwan after the year.
