Section 450 Turning stones into alchemy I
Li Yuanxing stayed in Huazhou for three days and concentrated on studying Huazhou's reform plan.
There are only more than 18,000 households in Huazhou, which is less than 100,000 people.
As mentioned above, Huazhou is the modern city of Weinan in later generations.
The large granary of Weinan Guanzhong, whether it is animal husbandry, fishery, agriculture, forestry and other industries, is very good, because Weinan has very rich water resources, whether it is above ground or underground.
In later generations, Weinan will have more than a million people, but also more than 10 million people.
Now Datang's Huazhou has a population of only 100,000, which makes the development of Huazhou difficult and easy.
It is said that the difficulty is due to the lack of population, and it is impossible for Huazhou to complete the large-scale development.
It is easy to say, because the population is small, as long as the Wei River is tidied up, it can be said that Huazhou has inexhaustible fertile land. If there are really 8 million mu, Huazhou has an average of 400 mu of land per household, and if it is calculated only by adults, it means that each person has 1,000 mu of land. In addition, many people do not farm, and the average person is more than 1,000 acres.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanxing suddenly lost interest.
In the afternoon of the next day, after conveying his reform opinions, Li Yuanxing left Huazhou.
"Your Highness, isn't it Yuan Jihua for three days?" Yuan Chun asked beside Li Yuanxing.
"Suddenly lost interest, Huazhou's population is too small, 8 million acres of fertile land, can it be planted?" After Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically, Yuanchun couldn't answer.
Li Yuanxing leaned on the cushion and used his brain.
"Your Highness, so Huazhou is still moving?" Yuan Chun asked again.
"Move. The matter of repairing the river has been decided, and the household department has also taken out money and food, if you don't move, how can you explain to the ministers of the six ministries. There is no one to plant the fertile land, so at that time, let's talk about repairing the river first. After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
It seems that he is still young and enthusiastic, but he has lost his cool.
Their staff is full of fools, and they haven't learned the real skills yet. And the people who can really do the work. I'm already so busy that my feet don't stick to the ground, and I can't pull my head at the moment.
Wu Cao is in Yaozhou, the princesses are very enthusiastic about the China Merchants Association these days, and Li Yuanxing seems to be idle.
On the way back. Li Yuanxing pulled a hundred pieces of coarsely ground marble from the quarry. The equipment here is not good. Although there are plenty of people.
"Your Highness, do you want to continue what you are doing here?" The rough-voiced stonemason, surnamed Tie, shouted again.
Li Yuanxing sat on the edge of the carriage. He threw a bag of juice to the stonemason, and then asked, "I said Lao Tie, do you say that you can make money by mining stones and selling them, or if you sell them in quarries to make money?" ”
Lao Tie's loud voice became dumb all of a sudden, what a complicated issue.
Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry, turned his head and asked Yuanchun: "What do you think of Yuanchun?" Yuan Chun also had no idea, Li Yuanxing looked at Lu Maofeng again, and Lu Maofeng also shook his head: "Your Highness, what you said is too weird!" ”
"Alright, don't talk nonsense. Lao Tie, you can build a workshop here that can have 500 craftsmen and 1,000 quarrymen. After building a lot, you calculate how much money you can earn in a year, will you do this? After Li Yuanxing asked, Lao Tie nodded: "Your Highness, this meeting, it can't be counted, and the sons of certain people have also learned some arithmetic!" ”
"Cheng, when the time comes, who will buy this quarry. You calculate, how much silver Qin Wangzhuang put into it, and then add five years of profits, at this price, sell it. The workshop that sells is not a craftsman, the workshop can be sold, and the craftsman does not change hands, and he can help them train the craftsman. Then find a place to build another one, build it, and sell it again! ”
Lao Tie held the bag of juice in his arms, and then began to calculate with his fingers.
Li Yuanxing waved his hand to Lu Maofeng: "Go home!" ”
"Up! Your Highness is home! After Lu Maofeng shouted, Li Yuanxing's car immediately moved.
After Li Yuanxing left far away, Lao Tie was still calculating there.
Watching the car drive away from afar, Lao Tie's sons ran over, they didn't have Lao Tie's unfortunate courage, and they even dared to open their voices to speak under His Royal Highness King Qin.
"Big, don't forget it, let alone earn more than ten years of money a year!"
"It seems to be!" Lao Tie squinted his eyes and slapped his eldest son on the head: "You don't know when Lao Tzu doesn't know, get out, get out of the way, get out of the work, and build this workshop in two months." ”
(In the ancient Chang'an saying, "big" is the meaning of father!) The pronunciation is also two tones! )
Lao Tie can calculate whether Li Yuanxing is not in harmony, but he no longer wants to engage in industry, especially those territories that do not belong to his direct management.
What's more, Li Yuanxing increasingly found that he was running out of manpower.
It was already night when he returned to Chang'an, and for the first time, there was no half of Li Yuanxing's main house.
"Tonight, it's special!" Li Yuanxing stood in his main house, and when he saw that the house was empty, he felt a little difficult to describe.
Yuan Chun didn't know Weishenme either, so he went out to inquire and came back and said, "Your Highness, several princesses are in a meeting, and they are studying the matter of tomorrow's investment conference. The slave also heard one thing, that is, in today's Datang Daily, the saint is going to auction the Liaodong gold mine at the investment promotion! ”
"Gold mines?" Li Yuanxing really thought he had heard it wrong.
"Your Highness heard it right, it's a gold mine, and there are some gold mines in Liaodong that are ready to be auctioned. And the ones in charge of the auction are the princesses. The slave also heard that there were countless nobles in Chang'an City who wanted to buy gold mines, and there were hundreds of people who sent their names alone. ”
Yuan Chun told Li Yuanxing everything he knew.
"Interesting, quite interesting!" Li Yuanxing said as he hid his clothes and walked to the bathroom.
Yuan Chun's heart beat faster.
There was one sentence she didn't say to Li Yuanxing, that is, Cui Yingying told her that she would serve His Royal Highness King Qin tonight, of course, if she felt that she couldn't bear it, she could choose one of the twelve golden hairpins.
Yuan Chun had already made a choice, and chose to be only one year younger than his age, ranking second among the twelve golden hairpins.
See you!
Mei Jian plays the piano well, and her piano skills can be ranked in the top three in the entire Chang'an.
Mei saw that this would go and get her own piano.
Li Yuanxing walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and picked up his clothes: "Yuanchun, go out and let people prepare two soft sedan chairs, and then let people prepare bath water, this king is going to go to the farm once, and suddenly thought of something interesting." ”
"Yes!" Li Yuanxing's order Yuan Chun naturally did not dare to disobey, so he immediately went to arrange it.
In the Qin King Farm, the old white head was called to greet him.
"What this king explained last time, calculate the time and there should be a result."
"There are too many things that His Highness has explained, as soon as there is a result, I will report it to Zhuangzi, I am afraid that His Highness is busy, so I didn't pay attention!" The old white head followed beside Li Yuanxing, whispering back.
Li Yuanxing stopped: "It's that mushroom, fungus, and white fungus." ”
"I reported it four days ago. These are all ripe, but they are just dried according to His Highness's words, so they are not sent to His Highness. As he spoke, the old white head took out a small book from his bosom and looked at it.
Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand: "Show this king!" ”
took the old white head's book, Li Yuanxingmeng, is this the text on the earth? It seems that Mars also does not have such a text, there are many strange symbols on it, very magical circles.
Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly and slapped the king on the chest of the old white head: "Tell you to read, this is the word you know!" ”
Lao Baitou is forty-eight years old, and he is considered an old man in Datang, if it is not for the war, I am afraid that his great-grandson will be embraced. As soon as Li Yuanxing said this, his face turned red.
"Your Highness, this understanding is more difficult than farming."
"Okay, I won't embarrass you. Tell me what you wrote. Li Yuanxingxin said that it is really difficult to let people who are almost 50 years old learn to read and write now. The old white head is afraid that he is using words outside the galaxy to record his own affairs, and if he can remember it, he can be regarded as a talent.
Listening to the old white head's report, Li Yuanxing picked up the folding fan and wanted to beat someone.
"Did this king say that fungus and white fungus should be dried, so that the mushrooms can be eaten fresh, and if they are preserved, they will be cut into shreds and dried. Thirteen days to ripen, you only reported four days ago, and now you have dried everything? ”
"This, Your Highness listens to so-and-so!"
The old white head is not nervous at all, even if he is really slapped by Li Yuanxing this year, he will only be happy. So after being scolded by Li Yuanxing for a few words, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, we are storing grain, your old man said it." It is not a problem to store it for several years after drying, and there is no food in winter, which is the best delicacy. However, I went to inquire, and there were dried fungus sellers on the market, all of which were picked up from the forest, and the price of a pound cost more than 700 yuan, and some of them were particularly haode, and that at least the same money. The white fungus in our Zhuangzi, who has seen it, who has eaten it, it is not expensive to sell it for three or five yuan, and when it is placed in winter, the price is doubled, and if you love to buy it, the rich businessmen want to eat and buy it, he wants to buy it as long as he asks us to buy it, and we don't sell it, they want to buy it......"
At the beginning, he was still serious, and the more he said it, the more outrageous it became, nonsense after nonsense, and nonsense after nonsense.
Not to mention several stewards in the same village, even the guards who were close to Bai Erwa wanted to step forward to stop them.
But His Royal Highness King Qin listened happily, did not interrupt, did not stop, just walked towards the conservatory.
Finally, when he reached the door of the warehouse, the old man shut up, and he took out a key, and then two stewards took a key each, and together with three keys, the door of the warehouse was opened.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Li Yuanxing was really taken aback.
As far as the eye can see, the shelves are full of small bamboo baskets.
"How much?"
"Seventy thousand catties!" The old white head took out a page from his record book with extragalactic characters, glanced at it, and then reported a number to Li Yuanxing, and then began to add: "Your Highness, our greenhouse doesn't need seedlings from the beginning of spring, it's all empty, and the old ladies are idle, so let them plant this." (To be continued......)
PS: This one is really late.
Today there is an elder who has passed his birthday and drank high.
After coming to his senses, hurry up and code words. Ha.
