What's in the box?

A few pieces of cloth, a couple of vials, two smaller wooden boxes, then a couple of pieces of paper, and a photograph.

"Where is this?" The Cui clan patriarch asked.

"This king called it cotton, and unlike kapok, it was grass cotton. One acre of land can produce about three quintals, and it can be said that the whole plant is a treasure and can be used. It's just that the current process still needs to be developed, and Datang estimates that after two or three years, it can get huge profits from this thing. No less than the huge profits of silk! ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan picked up the cloth and touched each piece: "It should be very comfortable to wear close to the body in winter!" ”

"Cottonseed oil is also a good thing, and the dregs from the oil make the horses stronger, and it can also be used as medicine. Cotton stalk is the top raw material for papermaking, how many cotton husks are needed, you can grow Ganoderma lucidum! Li Yuanxing said unhurriedly, the Cui clan chief's hands trembled a little, and he picked up a few pieces of paper in the wooden box and read them.

In fact, cotton husks are a good thing for growing mushrooms, and Li Yuanxing said that it was a natural exaggeration to say that Ganoderma lucidum.

However, when it comes to growing edible mushrooms, the patriarch of the Cui clan must not understand.

"In the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are 15 million acres of land suitable for planting this thing!" After the patriarch of the Cui clan read the geographical location with the reading glasses given by Li Yuanxing, the huge figure of fifteen million mu frightened him.

"It's not good to grow grain there, and the harvest is not very good. Hebei can also grow some, but it is a waste of land, and it is far worse than growing food. Therefore, this king believes that the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are the most suitable places. Although it is still controlled by the Western Turks, this king will naturally choose elite soldiers to garrison one place as a deterrent! ”

Li Yuanxing didn't finish his words. The Cui clan patriarch smiled.

"Your Highness, sheep can eat people. The Eastern Turks are wool, and they will be swallowed by my Datang one bite at a time. I'm afraid that the Western Turks will also be destroyed on this cotton. Old decay! ”

Li Yuanxing said a few politely and continued: "It's just this kind of thing, and the number is still small at the moment. ”

"It's better to open 10,000 acres of land in Hebei. As a farmer, the Li family of Longxi is not enough to swallow this matter, fifteen million mu, even one tenth, according to His Royal Highness, there is also a gross yield of three million quintals a year. I just don't know what the proportion is? "The Cui clan patriarch wants to say. Three million quintals, you Longxi Li dare to eat it.

Li Yuanxing opened several small wooden boxes inside, which were pure cotton and cotton shells. A few pieces of paper. And then there's the cottonseed.

"A hundred quintals of wool cotton. There were forty quintals of shells and ten quintals of seeds. This is the paper made of cotton stalks, if there are 100 quintals of wool cotton. There are at least 300 quintals of cotton stalks that can be used to make paper. ”

Li Yuanxing's sample paper was all made by Qinwangzhuang Paper Mill.

The color is naturally not as pure white as in later generations, and there is some yellowing, but compared with Datang's paper, there has been great progress, Li Yuanxing believes that as long as the process is taught, within a few years, Datang's paper will definitely reach a new height.

Even the printer paper you want to use yourself can be manufactured.

"Your Highness is really clever, and the old man has learned a lot from His Highness. It's just such a thing, and His Highness's practice has made the most of this thing. The same is true for many other objects, and this method has benefited the old decay a lot! After that, the patriarch of the Cui clan actually got up and gave a salute, and Li Yuanxing hurriedly returned the salute and asked the patriarch of the Cui clan to sit down again.

After sitting down, the Cui clan patriarch said, "Although this matter, the real benefit will be in a few years. But it's not something that the Li family in Longxi can eat. I Qinghe Cui's cheeky face, to take this share, I am willing to divide seventy percent of the study and newspaper business, and then introduce the Zheng family to jointly do this cotton thing, and finally divide seventy percent of the cotton to the other four families, textile matters, naturally dare not monopolize one family! ”

It's so fast!

Just after speaking, the old patriarch of the Cui clan came up with a plan for the distribution of profits of the seventh family.

Ginger is still old and spicy!

Li Yuanxing also wants to say a word of service, and he has been thinking about the distribution of interests of the Seventh Family for many days, so he has to make another data model.

And the old patriarch of the Cui clan came up with an initial plan in a few words.

Of course, there are some details that will definitely change again, but the general direction does have merit in Li Yuanxing's ears.

Since the old ginger is still a very spicy old ginger, Li Yuanxing doesn't plan to consume his brain power anymore.

"How to divide the interests of the Northeast?" Li Yuanxing asked directly.

The patriarch of the Cui clan did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Your Highness must take out half of the cow, otherwise this will not be able to be divided." Even if there is a large area of fertile land, if you sow the seeds, you will reap the harvest. But without cattle, the benefits there will be reduced by half, so Your Highness must divide the cattle in half! ”

"The cow can, it's no problem for this king to come out of seventy!"

"Since His Highness is so generous, then this distribution is much easier. The Taiyuan Wang family ceded seventy percent of Shanxi's coal industry, of which three percent were the most imperial court, and one percent belonged to the royal family. Within 300 miles around Chang'an, the Seventh Family of the coal industry will definitely not interfere, and it will all be distributed by His Royal Highness! ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan was full of confidence.

In fact, he had made a detailed calculation before he came, how much the Seventh Family would divide and how much to give to the Qin Palace, he already had a plan, and he had also guessed how much he would care.

"Feasible!" Li Yuanxing agreed to this plan without saying a word.

"The matter of slaves, Your Highness will give priority to satisfying Your Highness!" This time, the Seventh Family made a great concession, you must know that it will be difficult to find tenant farmers in the future, unless it can be supported by a huge high yield like Qinwang Farm, otherwise it is far less practical than using slaves.

Therefore, the Seventh Family also needs slaves.

When it comes to slaves, Li Yuanxing also put forward his own requirements: "This king must pick first, at least 1,000 soldiers every year, this king has a heavy use, 500 craftsmen, and increase proportionally." ”

"According to His Highness!"

None of them are children, nor are they small businessmen, and what is distributed here can already be said to be national interests.

There is almost no bargaining, and even if there is a discussion, it is an exchange of interests.

Li Yuanxing then proposed: "This king has two more requirements, the first is to build roads, which is also beneficial to you. The second is grain, and there must be enough grain in Pingzhou. The general of Pingzhou is Chai Shao, civil officials, you recommend it. ”

The Cui clan patriarch nodded, this one is balance.

"There are two more businesses, which are also said at one time. Let's talk about wool first, the Seventh Family can only account for five million wools. In the future, it is not too late to re-discuss the unlimited purchase. Right now, it's five million, and it can't be more. The business of goat milk, the family of the seventh family should not stick to it, and also told the following that the business of Chang'an City is wanted. Li Yuanxing did not give a reason.

As the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for him to understand.

The patriarch of the Cui clan would not ask, he knew very well that Li Yuanxing needed silver, and the amount was far greater than the total demand of any one family.

Li Yuanxing has so many wounded soldiers to feed, and he has to build four more guards, and there is not a single copper plate in the household.

That's an astronomical number.

"After the business is over, let's talk about two business things!" Li Yuanxing felt that it was easy to talk to the patriarch of the Cui clan. The other party knows how to balance interests, whether it is between the Seven Families, or with the royal family, and with the interests of the Qin Palace.

This time, the patriarch of the Cui clan poured tea for Li Yuanxing, and the patriarch of the Cui clan said: "Your Highness, say everything!" ”

"The first one, I will let the household department have a large amount of income, and the household department cannot be moved, and it must all be left to this king. This king said that to renovate the eight rivers of Chang'an, the new Chang'an Bahui, and also to build another canal around Chang'an, the amount of money required is an astronomical amount, and this amount of money is enough to start in the first year, so the household can not move! ”

Chang'an Bashui, the patriarch of the Cui clan naturally knows, there have been rivers since ancient times.

"Your Highness, this Hachie?" The Cui clan patriarch asked suspiciously.

"Eight Huimin canals will be completed within five years to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth for 300 miles around Chang'an. It has more than 20 million acres of fertile land. Among them, east of Chang'an, the Weibei Plain, to create a large granary in Guanzhong, to be completed within three years. Ring the Chang'an Canal, the total length is 160 miles. Li Yuanxing finished speaking in one breath and poured a sip of tea.

The patriarch of the Cui clan asked again: "Your Highness, this canal around Chang'an, according to the length, I'm afraid it will not be close to Chang'an City!" ”

"This is the moat of the new Chang'an City!"

New Chang'an.

The patriarch of the Cui clan thought of a rumor that when the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty saw Chang'an City for the first time, he shouted, the first city in the world. One hundred and sixty miles long, this is just a moat, how big will Chang'an City be.

"10 million acres, the first city in the world." Li Yuanxing himself was a little intoxicated.

The patriarch of the Cui clan shook his head gently, let alone ten years, even thirty years will be difficult to complete.

However, he will not say anything against this kind of thing, and no one in the world will speak against it, even the most troublesome imperial historians do not dare to raise objections, at most it is just a card of silver money in the household card.

Of course, if such a city can be built in ten years.

The patriarch of the Cui clan stood up, faced Li Yuanxing and smiled: "Your Highness, although the old man doesn't dare to believe that His Royal Highness can build this giant city, but the old man hopes to see it alive, even if there is only half of the city wall, the old man can also smile and star." ”

"Ten years, this king also knows that it is difficult, but people must always have a goal to strive for!"

"A good goal, His Royal Highness is worthy of the title of King of Qin!" After the patriarch of the Cui clan finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand: "The old man wishes to have an agreement with His Royal Highness, and in the treatment of foreign countries, the Seventh Family and His Royal Highness have one mind." The internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty must have a dispute with His Royal Highness, this is not a personal interest, so there is no concession! ”

Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and high-fived the patriarch of the Cui clan in the air: "This king is waiting!" ”

The patriarch of the Cui clan took his leave, and when he left, he said to Li Yuanxing that the Li family in Longxi would either increase the dowry, or give a profit to the Qin palace in the first three years after the cotton profit. Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded, three years later, Li Yuanxing didn't think about it, it was too far. (To be continued......)
