The investment promotion order was issued, and the entire Chang'an was shocked.

Li Er held the newspaper in one hand and the report on the outside of the palace in the other, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Li Er was thinking that tomorrow's newspaper gold mine investment promotion order came out, and he didn't know how Chang'an City would react. Chang'an City's reaction? Li Er was thinking about how Li Yuanxing would react.

Thinking of Li Yuanxing, Li Erxin's enthusiasm was gone.

It is estimated that Li Yuanxing will definitely say without smiling, the imperial brother is wise. Or maybe it's not responding!

"King Qin doesn't know what he's been busy with lately?" Li Er asked casually.

Gonggong Gao whispered next to him: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness King Qin went east before dawn." Looking at the way the car was driving, it didn't look like a long journey. ”

Not far, will go there. Tianchi? Lintong? Or Huazhou!

At this time, Li Yuanxing was standing on a river embankment, looking at the large barren beach from a distance.

Huazhou, that is, the Weinan of later generations, is located in the lower reaches of the Wei River, one hundred and forty miles east of Chang'an City, originally belonged to a county under Jingzhao County, and was later upgraded to a state in the sixth year of Wude, but it was a state inferior to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty didn't know that His Highness had arrived, and he didn't come out to greet him, sin, sin!" A thin middle-aged scribe wearing a pale crimson robe, but not an official uniform. On his head was a headcloth embroidered with gold thread, but he did not wear a crown. After coming to Li Yuanxing, he bowed down with a long body: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to exonerate himself, but he has been inspecting the river recently, and he is afraid of staining his official uniform!" ”

Li Yuanxing did not answer, but pointed into the distance.

"Huazhou, this king thought it was a cornucopia. I don't know how Pei has been since the history of the assassination? ”

The middle-aged man's surname is Pei, and he is a member of the four major surnames Pei clan in Guanzhong. Name Pei Yuen Long. In the first year of his transfer to Huaxian, Huaxian was upgraded to a state, and in the three years in Huazhou, Huazhou was close to the standard of a medium-sized state, with a population of 18,600 households.

Hearing Li Yuanxing's words, Pei Yuanlang lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that Huazhou is a cornucopia, but there are three difficulties. His Majesty even thought that with His Royal Highness, even if there were all kinds of difficulties, it would no longer be difficult! ”

Li Yuanxing smiled. This sycophant shot even louder.

But Li Yuanxing didn't know. This is Pei Yuanlang's heart, as soon as he heard that King Qin had come to Huazhou, he was afraid of wasting time even going home to change clothes, so he immediately rushed over.

"Your Highness. The first difficulty. The Wei River flows down this scoured barren beach. If it can be governed. 200,000 acres of fertile land! ”

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, this statement is serious, and it is relatively conservative in terms of quantity. And there is no exaggerated attitude.

Pei Yuanlang continued: "Your Highness, this second difficulty is still the river, Your Majesty read His Highness's investment invitation last night, and His Majesty thinks that the fishery in Kunming Pond may not be as strong as my Huazhou. But I don't know where to start, and the more difficult problem is Weishui! ”

"Keep talking!"

"The third difficulty is the road, His Royal Highness Huazhou is also an important place, and it is a flat river. But the waterway is combined, and the dry road is poor. In the past, merchants complained bitterly, if there is a waterway, there is a dry road Huazhou Daxing! Pei Yuanlang bowed to the end again.

As soon as Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand, Yuan Chun, who was wearing a female official uniform beside him, took an envelope, Pei Yuanlang took it with both hands, and before opening it, Li Yuanxing asked first: "How does Pei Tingshi understand the word Huaxia?" ”

Pei Yuanlang was still holding the envelope in both hands, and after a little silence, he replied loudly: "Back to Your Highness, the word Huaxia first appeared in "Shangshu? Book of the week? Wu Cheng": "Huaxia is barbaric, reckless. "This refers to my Chinese orthodoxy, which is different from the four Yi (Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, and Beidi)"

After speaking, Pei Yuanlang thought for a while, and continued: "Your Highness's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mentions Guan Yu, remember "Three Kingdoms"? Shu Zhi? Guan Yu's Biography": "Yu Wei shocked China, and Cao Gong discussed moving Xu to avoid his sharpness. "It was also mentioned that His Majesty thought that Huaxia meant my Chinese orthodoxy!"

If you are really a well-read person, you can quote scriptures on any question.

Li Yuanxing couldn't help but say a word of service.

However, Li Yuanxing has read more books than Pei Yuanlong, and the books that Li Yuanxing has read are the wisdom of countless sages over thousands of years.

Li Yuanxing said: "Hua means that "Hua" means Huashan, and "Xia" means "Xiayang". The land under our feet is the root of our Chinese civilization. But since the king, there is another saying. The beauty of clothing is "Hua"; With the vast territory, cultural prosperity, and the prosperity of civilization and morality as "summer". ”

(In ancient Chinese, the word "Xia" had a grand meaning.) ）

Pei Yuanlang didn't speak, and bowed to the end again.

"Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, this will be a pearl of the Tang Dynasty, open the envelope and take a look, what does this king say that he can't say, you can testify!"

"Your Majesty, please read!" Pei Yuenlong respectfully raised the letter above his head first, and then took it down and opened the envelope.

This is Li Yuanxing's plan for Huazhou.

The first sentence shocked Pei Yuanlang, because it said that the whole territory of Huazhou is good land. Eight million acres of fertile land, six of which have become special paddy fields. With an annual output of 5 million quintals of refined grain, only Huazhou can ensure that the official warehouse of the Tang State Treasury is full of warehouses every year.

Li Yuanxing's data is definitely not nonsense, from the detailed planning of modern Weinan in later generations, this value Li Yuanxing said is conservative.

You must know that in the modern era of later generations, the annual grain output of Weinan is more than 2 million tons.

If the more than 2 million tons are folded into the weight of Datang, it is 40 million quintals, so 5 million quintals is still Li Yuanxing is afraid of scaring Pei Yuanlang, so he wrote such a little.

Pei Yuanlang took a deep breath, he didn't dare to refute, and he wouldn't refute, because the number that His Royal Highness King Qin said, even if it was a number that made the world feel incredible, would definitely be proven in the future, this number was too conservative.

Just like Yaozhou's steel production, the value demanded by His Royal Highness King Qin has been reached early, and it is more than twice as high.

Then, Huazhou's future grain should be 10 million quintals.

Pei Yuen Long continued to look down, and the next is the area of natural grassland, natural trees, and primeval forest.

Then there are the resources available for fisheries, as well as the resources of the mining area.

Coal, 200 billion quintals! This 200 billion made Pei Yuanlang's hands tremble, and he almost dropped a few pieces of paper in his hand to the ground. He couldn't believe what that number meant.

"Your Highness, 200 billion quintals of coal?"

"That's right, you read that right, this is what our Datang can dig out, and all the things that can't be dug up and buried too deep add up, no less than 500 billion quintals, which is nearly 100 times the coal mine of this Wang Yaozhou. But this is not what this king cares about, what this king really cares about, but this molybdenum mine! ”

"Your Majesty doesn't understand! Your Highness, please! ”

"It's too complicated to understand, it's the knowledge of craftsmen. With this molybdenum ore, it is possible to make the steel harder, sharper, and less likely to break, and most importantly, less prone to rust. It can be said that this is a very haode thing, the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only a few molybdenum mines known by this king, and you are one here! ”

"Your Majesty understands!"

As Li Yuanxing said, Pei Yuanlang doesn't need to know too much professional knowledge, he just needs to know that this ore is very important, which is enough.

Zuihou is a map with detailed river channels and fertile land distribution maps.

"Pei Tingshi, in the first year, this king helped you develop grain fields and increase fishery, and this king did not ask for production, but in the second year, three million quintals of grain, three million catties of fish, three million sheep, 300,000 cattle, 3 million pigs, and 1 million donkeys. If you can do it, this king will give you an official, and if you can't do it, change someone who can do it here as an official! ”

Li Yuanxing's tone was already very harsh.

But to Pei Yuanlang's ears, this is an opportunity, the officials of the early Tang Dynasty are not corrupt, but more concerned about the livelihood of the people first, and then their official path.

Pei Yuanlang thought about it, and Zuihou said: "Please let Your Highness enter the mansion, Your Majesty has many things to ask for advice." ”

"Don't worry, go to a small place by the way, this king wants to go and earn a railway money for you Huazhou!"

Pei Yuanlang liked it so much that he hurriedly followed behind.

Soon, Li Yuanxing came to a ravine, where there were already hundreds of craftsmen working, seeing Li Yuanxing's arrival, the craftsmen led by him greeted him, just a simple arch of his hand: "Your Highness is smart, here is the kind of stone that His Highness likes." It seems to be a little better than Yaozhou's! ”

"Is there a prototype?" Li Yuanxing asked.

The craftsman took Li Yuanxing to a machine with a big grin, this is a small water mill with animal power, a one-foot-square plane has been grinded out, and the black, white and yellow texture is extremely beautiful.

"Hurry up, wax it and show it to Your Highness!" The foreman shouted.

As a stonemason, he is a rough man, Li Yuanxing doesn't mind, he just watches from afar.

It didn't take long for the stone to be carried in front of Li Yuanxing, and the stonemason foreman said, "Your Highness, I still found red and light blue in the mountains over there, and I think the effect will be better." If this thing is spread to the study, it will be more beautiful than our tiles! ”

"Haha!" Li Yuanxing smiled: "You are very good, you have already started to make money with this thing." ”

"Your Highness, we are rough people, and it is Your Highness who allows us to have meat to eat every day. Let's just think about how to make more money for His Royal Highness all day long, Yaozhou is too short of manpower, although there is this stone can not be pulled out of manpower, here, let's open the stone slab, within half a year, the annual output of one million feet of slate can come out! ”

"Good, good. Here you arrange manpower, these days have been a little harder, at least 200 feet of grinding out. Then according to the map given to you by the king, go to the field and look at it, and the king will hear your good news! ”

"I understand, although Your Highness can rest assured, I will go now!" After speaking, he strode with his hands over, beckoning people to enter the mountain like him, but he was as anxious as the wind.

Seeing that the stonemason Li Yuanxing was very satisfied, such a person should live a good life.

"Pei Tingshi, go to the state capital." Li Yuanxing motioned to bring the stone.

When he arrived at Huazhou Mansion, Li Yuanxing had just entered the house, and his words made the house full of officials frightened. Li Yuanxing said: "Huazhou, from this year, the grain tax will be increased by one percent!" (To be continued......)
