The data set by Li Yuanxing is half of the maximum production capacity calculated in detail by Wu Cao. You must know that there are less than 100,000 farmers in the entire Yaozhou, and only 30% of the crops are grain, and a larger area is planted with medicinal herbs and trees.

Excluding the army, there are at least 500,000 people working in Yaozhou, and there are only two large, two small and four industries.

Among them, the big industries, steel, cement. Li Yuanxing's requirements for pig iron are only more than 2,000 tons a year, and those black steel mills in later generations employ less than 100 employees and have an output of more than 1,000 tons a year. In Datang, even if it is pure human labor, Wu Cao's calculation method is that for every 100,000 people, 5,000 tons of iron output a year.

After all, the way of management, many equipment, the theory of ironmaking came from later generations, only 2,000 tons, too little, too little!

Another big industry is cement, Wu Cao's calculation is 800,000 tons, that is, 16 million catties of Datang, Li Yuanxing didn't dare to mention it, for fear of scaring these people.

There are two small yields, one is medicinal herbs and Chinese patent medicines, and the other is the tree planted by Li Yuanxing.

The name of the tree is Eucommia, a kind of silk cotton wood. Deciduous tree species.

Eucommia ulmoides is a Chinese medicinal material, but Li Yuanxing's real purpose is not for traditional Chinese medicine, nor for that little bit of kapok, what he really wants is Eucommia ulmoides gum, which is not worse than rubber, and is a special rubber used in the aviation field in later generations.

Li Yuanxing was looking forward to it.

Cui Dunli was really frightened, this amount is too staggering, this is Lu Chengqing's life.

"Your Highness, the subordinate begged for a favor from Lord Lu, can this amount be reduced." Cui Dunli said beside Li Yuanxing.

"Humph!" Li Yuanxing snorted coldly: "Do you know the peak value of Yaozhou's steel and cement production in this king's heart?" ”

"Your Highness, please!"

"10 million catties of steel and 20,000 catties of cement. Zhenguan five years ago. Annually! Li Yuanxing will read it very heavily every year.

Cui Dunli's face was pale, but he knew the annual output of the entire territory of Datang now. In the entire Datang, there are no 10 million catties of steel a year, and Yaozhou, the land of the state, is about to reach the annual number of Datang every year.

"This is the beginning of construction, many workshops have not been built, and the mines have not been completed, and the king has given a small amount. Add two percent every year, and Zhenguan will reach the value that this king said in four years, which can only be higher. Can't go low. Zhenguan is at least two percent higher in five years. ”

What Li Yuanxing has is not confidence. It's infallible data.

5,000 tons of steel and 100,000 tons of cement, too little, too little. Li Yuanxing is still dreaming of repairing the railway!

After speaking, Li Yuanxing walked outside the workshop. After a few steps, he stopped: "Ma Yuan!" You've got the stone crusher right. Come to Qinwangzhuang. This king has passed on you the same artifact. ”

"Your Highness!" Ma Yuan bowed down.

Out of the workshop. Cui Dunli said again: "The subordinates are terrified in their hearts, and they are really uneasy. ”

"Lao Cui!" Li Yuanxing smiled and called Lao Cui. Cui Dunli was stunned, you must know that Li Yuanxing has always called him Cui Changshi, this is the official title, and the old Cui is much closer.

Li Yuanxing said again: "This king asks you to give you 100,000 mu." This king wants 200,000 stone of grain, can you do it? ”

"The subordinates will definitely complete it!"

"It's the same thing, because you know how much you have per acre. How much field has how much output. The same is true for Yaozhou, this king clearly knows how much iron ore can be mined every day, how many furnaces can be started, how much molten iron comes out of each furnace every day, and how many furnaces can be supported by coke. Do you understand? ”

"The subordinate understands!" Cui Dunli just didn't react at once.

Let Li Yuanxing explain this, he understands that the mass production of this workshop is actually a field.

"Arrange a few more craftsmen, and the chimney ash on the blacksmith's stove is also a good thing, and you have to learn to collect it. Also, control the amount of smoke. This king didn't want a few years from now, Yaozhou would be dark everywhere, and the air would be full of black smoke. There is also the cement workshop, think about it, don't care about the money, this king doesn't want to see the surrounding dozens of miles, the leaves are all gray. ”

Li Yuanxing: This is thinking about environmental governance.

"Your Highness is wise, and your subordinates also think that Yaozhou should be picturesque. A few days ago, a craftsman suggested that the blacksmith's workshop could be slipped into silver, and that there was no need to drain the black water into the river. That black water will kill the fish in the river! ”

"Very good, reward, give him an official position, let him work hard."

Cui Dunli took out the small notebook he had with him and wrote it down.

"Also, if the lime absorbs too much, it will kill people, let Lao Sun think of a way, the multi-layer linen mask is not good enough!"

"Your Highness, Daoist Sun has already put forward his opinions several times. Now there are a few places where the dust is at most, and all the people who use it are death row prisoners! "Cui Dunli's idea is not wrong, anyway, the death row prisoner is a death, and the meal is just meat.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Death row prisoners are also people, my imperial brother is benevolent to the world!" ”

"The subordinate understands!"

Cui Dunli retired, he was going to check all the report documents here in Yaozhou, and pick out the key points to report to Li Yuanxing.

Only then did Qin Qiong speak: "Wulang, tens of millions of catties of steel, the Tang Dynasty Iron Rider is unparalleled in the world." It's just that cement, such a large amount, how Gorou is going to use it. ”

"Brother Shubao, how long does it take to get from here to Chang'an?" Li Yuanxing's question was complete nonsense, when they came, it took nearly three hours to travel all the way, that is, five or six hours. It's only 200 miles away.

Qin Qiong didn't answer, but asked: "Wulang might as well tell a certain directly, a certain is not good at guessing!" ”

"It's really boring, with cement, the road is built, and you can enter Chang'an in an hour. From Chang'an to Luoyang, four hours is enough! ”

Eight hundred miles from Chang'an to Luoyang is 400 kilometers, and at the speed of 25 kilometers per hour in a carriage, eight hours is just right. Of course, this is the limit speed, and the horse has to rest on the road, but from Chang'an to Luoyang, starting early in the morning and arriving at night, a one-day journey, is extremely fast in Datang.

"Also, the cement embankment can be used for a hundred years!"

"I understand, the stone crusher is placed by the Jing River, whether to close the road!"

"No, it's for the world to see. What if those guys in the foreign countries see it, can they make it? Even if it can be made, this king doesn't know who can take out 140,000 catties of iron at one time. Haha! ”

Li Yuanxing smiled, and Qin Qiong also smiled.

140,000 catties of iron, for the surrounding states, is a huge amount.

Qin Qiong also left, and went to check the surrounding armament, since Lao Cheng had returned to Chang'an, he could only do the inspection of the right military guard.

Li Yuanxing returned to the resting place, ready to enjoy the wet fragrant nephrite.

But Wu Cao sat in the room and didn't plan to leave: "Wu Cao, aren't you going to see the stone crusher?" ”

"Don't go, even if you are affectionate, just as I don't exist!" Wu Cao fiddled with the Rubik's Cube in his hand and replied without raising his head. Li Yuanxing is really helpless.

Cui Yingying's face was even more flushed, she could ignore the existence of the maid, but she couldn't ignore Wu Cao.

Wu Cao did it on purpose, and when Li Yuanxing wanted to scold people angrily, Wu Cao secretly gave Li Yuanxing a roll of his eyes.

"Let's play mahjong!" Cui Yingying mentioned!

"One hundred!" Wu Cao hurriedly said.

Cui Yingying agreed without saying a word, and even Qiu Xiang dared to agree. Cui Yingying received some New Year's gifts from her family a few years ago, just the copper money is a car, not to mention a thousand yuan, not to mention, Cui Yingying earned some more money in that clothing store, and there are thousands of dollars in her hands.

And Qiu Xiang, as the first secretary of the Qin Palace, is also the concubine of Ming Daming beside Li Yuanxing. There are a lot of rewards, and there are a lot of bonuses, that is, businessmen don't forget to give Qiu Xiang a gift.

Qiu Xiang, who is still a slave, is definitely the richest slave in Datang.

has a net worth of more than 400 yuan, and it is also a huge amount of money to put it in a small rich family.

Wu Cao has been close to money recently, and before the Chinese New Year, he opened up the purchase and participated in the investment in the bamboo leaf green wine workshop, so in order to have enough silver to spend this month, Wu Cao is willing to play mahjong.

The only one with a bitter face is Li Yuanxing.

If Qiu Xiang is the richest slave in the Tang Dynasty, then Li Yuanxing is the poorest prince in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, even at the level of the national duke, plus the level of the county duke, Li Yuanxing is also the poorest one. Not counting Qin Wangzhuang's account, just talking about Li Yuanxing's private money, now he doesn't even have ten guan, and he still owes more than 7,000 guan.

Preparing for the New Year's celebration, he gave gifts to the nobles, families, and merchants of Chang'an City, spent all Li Yuanxing's money, and borrowed 10,000 yuan from the public account of Qin Wangzhuang, so that he could barely hold on.

What a public household, a private household! Everyone thinks it's, including Wu Cao.

Cui Dunli also privately said to Wu Cao that everything in Qin Wangzhuang is His Royal Highness King Qin, and this distinction between public and private is really meaningless, so let Wu Cao help persuade him.

Wu Cao told Cui Dunli at the time: "His Royal Highness King Qin is controlling himself to spend money indiscriminately, so there is no need to persuade him!" ”

It doesn't matter whether you persuade or not, the important thing is that His Royal Highness King Qin really doesn't use the money of the public account. Li Yuanxing does not move, which does not mean that Cui Dunli, Wei Zheng, Zheng He, Wu Cao, Cui Yingying and others do not move.

Repair the Zhuangzi and build the garden, or use the money of the public household.

Ten times, how could Li Yuanxing not smile bitterly, playing mahjong with these girls, he has never won.

There was a bang on the mahjong table, and the three girls were happy Qin Wang was worried, the more sorrowful she was, the more she lost, the more she was worried, bitter!

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the two huge torches in the Datang Arena in Chang'an City had been lit. The people who have been feverish for a day do not feel tired at all, thousands of casino boys, as well as children hired temporarily, in groups of three, two people with backs, one with a small bamboo card, the other with copper coins, are in the stands for the people to bet, a bet is only a penny, is to buy fun.

A huge torch illuminates the entire arena, and the first day of the league is about to begin.

The players on both sides have already entered, showing off their strong bodies and demonstrating to each other in this cold winter day. (To be continued......)

PS: A month has passed in a blink of an eye.

I'm going to open a single chapter tonight, and I would like to thank you all very much.
