Chapter 804: King Lu
How big is Central North America?
How big is the area of Han land in China?
When it comes to these two questions, many people can't answer them exactly. Even many people's first thought is that the results should be similar to those two. In fact, the former is much, much larger than the latter.
China's 9.6 million Km2 land is known to the vast majority of people in later generations, so remove 1.5 million Km2 in Northeast China, 1.6 million Km2 in Xinjiang, 1.18 million Km2 in Inner Mongolia, 1.2 million Km2 in Tibet, and then 720,000 Km2 in Qinghai. 3.4 million km2 alone, accounting for only 35% of the country's area.
And what about Central North America right now?
What is the area of Lao Mei in the previous life? When Liu Xian was young, he said that it was more than 9.3 million, and when Liu Xian was an adult, he found that the area of Lao Mei was already larger than that of China. Of course, not much, and China's 960 does not count the area south of the McMahon Line. Let's also calculate it according to 960, minus Alaska's 1.7 million, minus Hawaii's less than 20,000 km2, and the local area of Laomei is as high as 7.9 million km2. At present, the Northeast region is still shrinking with a United States, cutting off 7, 800,000 Km2, and the area of the Central North American Viceroyalty is at least 7 million Km2!
Liu Xian wants to seal his son all over, and it seems that each prince can also occupy a piece of land about the size of France and Spain. But the land of Laomei is also fat and thin, and it takes a lot of time to demarcate it.
After the fifth and sixth children got married this year, Liu Xian will have sons and daughters next year and the year after next, and the next two or three years from 1882 onwards are the most concentrated years for the development and growth of the Liu royal family. Every year, several sons and princesses landed. Liu Xian will divide them into North America, starting from the west coast of North America. Gradually push eastward. Anyway, I want to leave a piece of land for my younger sons, the easternmost one. The land directly facing the Atlantic Ocean and the United States has always been in the hands of the Wehrmacht, and when the next war breaks out, it will be completely clear whether it will be a dragon or a snake.
Liu Xian likes this time in August, so his son gets married in August as much as possible, and then goes to the fiefdom in the first month of the next year. And this year's marriage of the two princes is extraordinarily large, much stronger than the two, three and four. Although he is half inferior to the prince in character. Outsiders only think that Liu Xian loves the fifth and sixth sons very much, but they don't know that since the beginning of this year, in the years to come, the scale of the marriages of the princes of the New Qin Empire has become larger and larger, just like the foundation of the New Qin Empire. If it weren't for Liu Xian's personal life, which was still relatively simple and not extravagant, there would inevitably be a bad comment of 'old age and extravagance' in the history books in the future.
At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the autumn harvest and autumn harvest are all over. Whether it is the place or the center, they are all idle.
The weather in Beijing is getting colder, and the football league is coming to an end, but horse racing has not affected it at all. Liu Yu watched the New Year's Day approaching day by day. The mood is nervous and full of reluctance. What can North America have? Even if his father sealed himself to California, the richest city on the West Coast, how could he compare to the city of Beijing in that day?
The racecourse is nearly ten miles away from the capital, and it was not on the main road originally. It's quite far away, at least twenty miles. But with the continuous increase of Beijing's population over the years. The area is expanding rapidly, and the distance between this land and the capital is only ten miles. It was just a piece of farmland. Today, with the racecourse, hundreds of families have gathered here, and it is a small town from a distance.
Liu Xu's favorite sport is horse racing, he himself often goes to Nanhaizi to run horses, and now there are more than ten good horses in the palace, the most important of which are the one in a thousand Don hippos. Sitting in the car, he told Shi all kinds of interesting stories about horse racing. Between the words, I really love horse racing.
Shi is his princess, born in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, and is the granddaughter of Shi Dakai's relatives. Among the princes, the background can be described as the best.
Shi frowned at her pair of beautiful eyebrows, and looked at her husband helplessly. Since she married Liu Yu, her outlook on life has been refreshed by her man again and again. With such a good background and such a prominent position in the future, how can he develop a greedy temperament for pleasure?
She wasn't interested in horse racing. This is just half a month after getting married, and she was pulled to this place by her newlywed husband, just because Liu Yu wanted to 'enjoy in time' before leaving!
This kind of thinking and outlook on life really made Shi feel speechless. However, Shi grew up in Tiannan for the first ten years of his life, that is, he only got China in the second half of last year, and he did not go to Beijing, and Shi Dakai's concept of marriage is still very traditional. The Shi family stayed in Guangzhou for more than half a year, arrived in Beijing in the early summer of this year, and then they were ready to get married.
Before getting married, Shi had also heard that the five princes were more active, and after entering the door, they realized that they were so active, this is fun!
Shi's face was full of worry, will such a husband become even more outrageous after he arrives in North America? The father was certainly not satisfied. If his father was angry, the Shi family didn't want his throne to be cut off in a few years......
The New Qin Empire is now in full swing, and as long as China is undefeated, Emperor Liu's feudal state will be impregnable. This is a title that can always be inherited, a golden job bowl that is not exchanged for millions of gold!
Liu Yu was the first royal child to intervene in the Jockey Club, because he liked to run horses and because he liked to have fun. As a very 'unusual' existence among the princes, it seems not too surprising that the prince will intervene in the horse racing association.
The tiger father and dog son are the unanimous evaluation of the five princes by many bigwigs in the new Qin dynasty and the opposition. This performance is not Liu Yu's disguised appearance, but his true personal colors. Among Liu Xian's group of sons, he is the most uncompetitive and unreliable.
"Alas, in a hundred days, we will go to North America. I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing in the future......" Liu Yan, who was still talking about horse racing with interest just now, suddenly became depressed. Shi Shi looked at it and hurriedly comforted him, this performance was not once or twice. It has only been ten or twenty days since they got married, and the Shi family has already been accustomed to it. Liu Yu didn't want to leave Beijing, and the closer he was to the Chinese New Year, the more nervous he became, the more Alexander.
Shi also persuaded at first that he hoped to relieve the tension in her husband's heart, and was worried that he was too worried and had a bad situation. Now, the husband, who was sad and didn't even look at it, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds in the fruit bowl. This RV is indeed comfortable, and there is much more space inside the car.
The car drove to the destination, and Liu Yu, who got out of the car, quickly improved his mood again. Pointing to the many streets and shops around the racecourse, "See?" At least 20% of this land belongs to our family. The income of one year is much more than the annual income of the king. "Otherwise, where will Liu Yu get the money to play around, and collect BMWs all over the world!
"Don't underestimate this. If we sell all the land and stores, we can get at least 500 million. Therefore, our family left a steward, and it is still the right thing to manage real estate and real estate in Beijing. In the future, there will definitely be another price increase here, and it would be too much of a loss to sell it now. Besides, we don't need that much money. The funds allocated by the father and the funds on the books of the palace are enough to deal with it. "This amount is much more than that of the second, third, and fourth children. Although Liu Yu is not successful in his group of brothers, he seems to be very discerning in business, and several investments have yielded a lot of money.
Of course, he is also super good at spending money, fortunately he is not a person who only spends money and has no ability to make a living. In that case, Liu Xian will have a headache.
"Don't look at the two percent of the molecules, in this whole venue, in terms of a single person, it is still the highest in our family. China Construction Bank only got 10% of the land, and the Qin consortium only got 105%. If it weren't for the king's quick intervention, we wouldn't have been able to enter this circle with this bit of capital. I'll whisper to you, you can't spread the word, you know?
Brother Prince also wanted to invest money in to get a piece of the pie a few years ago, but was pushed back by several banks and consortia. Liu Yu covered his mouth and snickered when he said it, this matter has been old news for some years, but it still makes him feel good when he talks about it. The prince's life was too envious and jealous of the little brothers below him. "But you can't spread the word, you know?!"
Liu Yu looked at Shi Shi and nodded seriously, then straightened up with satisfaction and strode towards the arena.
The entire racecourse covers an area of more than 30 hectares, that is, more than 3,000 acres. The most central part of the area is naturally the grounds, and there are 1,200 shops of all sizes around it. Businessmen from all walks of life can be found here. The total number of employed people is more than a thousand! Every month, the normal commercial tax paid to Beijing is more than 20 million, and the tax paid by the Jockey Club itself is a figure in the unit of '100 million'.
Prosperous competitions and a large number of people make the land here soar into the sky like a rocket, and the land price is completely comparable to the most expensive land in Beijing. Even the water and electricity bills are twice as expensive as Beijing Wangfujing!
Liu Yu accompanied Shi Shi while walking and talking, people came and went in the street, male and female pairs were very common, and the clothes of the two were also quite brilliant, so they were not eye-catching at all. But the vice president of the Jockey Club soon came to the front of Liu Yu and his wife, and said very humbly and flatteringly: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, the villain has lost his welcome, atone for his sins!"
Turn around in front to the entrance, and the villain will lead you two in front. ”
The Jockey Club is definitely a huge interest group, and as far as Liu Yu knows, since this spring, the Jockey Club has already selected people to buy land in Shanghai and Guangzhou. As long as the land problem is solved, at most one year, a second or third gold-sucking beast will appear on the land of China. It's a pity that the interest groups within the Jockey Club have taken all the benefits, otherwise Liu Yu would have to get a piece of the pie. And others are leaving. There's no time to mess with these old oilmen at the club!
Liu Yu and Shi didn't know that on the second floor of a teahouse not far from the entrance, a figure they were familiar with was half-squinting, listening to the storyteller below talk about the First Sino-Russian War.
Sun Lutang quietly walked to Liu Xian's side, leaned over the emperor's ear and said, "Your Majesty, King Lu and Princess Lu have arrived in ......" (to be continued. )
