May 2, Song Residence.

When the ancestor of the Song family saw that Wang Xuan had brought wine again, he immediately smiled, and warmly welcomed him into the stilt building for a good meal.

"Don't be busy, I'm here for a plant, I'm in a hurry, don't delay the time, and we'll get together when I come back." Wang Xuan was a little impatient.

"Plants?"

"Well, I'll go first, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he set off in a hurry, Song Yi had to lead someone to escort him all the way, he didn't dare to be sloppy, it was a big mountain, if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.

"Dog, do you remember the road?" asked Wang Xuan as he walked.

"I remember that we used to go south along the beach, and when we came across a cliff, we turned around and climbed the hillside on the left, and when we reached the hillside, we walked south for a stick of incense. The dog's thinking is very clear, which makes Wang Xuan feel a lot more at ease.

"Lord, are you in such a hurry just for a small plant?" Song Yi was puzzled, even if it was a precious medicinal herb, there was no such treatment.

"It's just for a small plant, if there is really one here, the new Song Town will be developed. Wang Xuan didn't look back, his steps were fast.

Song Yi and the others were talking at each other, and the pace of their feet was unconsciously larger, and the speed of the whole team suddenly became a little faster.

The sun crossed the hill and shone on the group in the west, and the cliff arrived.

"Walk down the cliff, there is a path, all the way up. The dog said.

The group turned left and right, and it took half an hour to reach the small halfway up the mountain, which was still far from the top of the mountain. At this time, the dog pointed to the southeast, "There it is, that piece is all over the place." ”

Wang Xuan looked in the direction of the dog's finger, but he couldn't see clearly, so everyone took a short rest and hurried up again.

The more you go up, the more blurred the road tracks, but fortunately, there are small shrubs in this area, and there are often people moving, otherwise Wang Xuan would not have come here rashly, he is very afraid of some mollusks, such as insects and snakes.

"That's it in front, look, there are a few here and there. The dog pointed to the bushes in front of him.

Wang Xuan stepped forward and carefully picked up the bushes, and sure enough, he found that there were a few stevia growing among them, but there were some black spots on the top and bottom of the leaves, mostly on the leaf surface, and some of them were already sick.

It seems that he should be sick, but unfortunately Wang Xuan doesn't understand, I think it has something to do with the environment here.

"Look further ahead. Wang Xuandao.

So the group continued to move forward, and soon came to an open field, densely growing stevia, many of which were diseased seedlings, Wang Xuan's heart was broken, and he didn't know if the technicians of the Ministry of Agriculture could solve it.

Wang Xuan chose a plant that grew stronger, picked a leaf and put it in his mouth to taste, a long-lost sweetness stimulated the taste buds, and his mouth was full of relish.

When everyone saw this, they also picked off the leaves and chewed them.

"It's so sweet!"

"It's much sweeter than maltose. ”

"Is this the 'stevia'?"

"It's really sweet!"

......

Wang Xuan walked a short distance further, and this space the size of a basketball court was all about stevia, but it was in stark contrast to the taller shrubs on the left.

"What do you think about this?" Wang Xuan asked, pointing to some sick plants, and asked the technicians of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Lordically, these plants, like crops, are susceptible to pests and diseases. There are infectious diseases that originate from themselves, and there are also pests hidden underground, so as long as you study them one by one, it is not difficult to find ways to prevent and control them. For example, this one, the leaves are not spotted, and the part above the ground is intact, but it looks like it is about to die, which is far from the scene on the other side, and it is very likely that there are insects gnawing on the rhizomes under the soil. ”

As he spoke, the technician dug up under the stevia with a branch, and after a while, he dug out a few insects that looked like crickets, and Wang Xuan, who was watching, nodded for a while.

"It's a lama worm, and it's more common in the fields. ”

"It's good to know the root cause, at least there is a direction for improvement. I don't know much about stevia, except that they can be propagated by seeds and cuttings, but they don't seem to be able to withstand long-term direct sunlight. When nearly half of the plant has buds, it can be harvested, and the leaves can be dried or dried and stored for later use, and the rest needs to be studied by your Ministry of Agriculture. ”

Wang Xuan doesn't know much about this, these are also thanks to his profession, whether it is people or things, or all kinds of creatures, etc., can be used as training materials, so he also knows a lot about coming and going, but only knows.

"Pick some healthy plants and put them in pots and bring them back, dogs, have you been further south?"

"No, there are more and more vines in front of us, and the trees are taller, so we didn't go any further, a few years ago a few big brothers went and didn't come back. When the dog talked about it, he still had palpitations.

"Alright, let's go back and make plans. ”

So it took more than an hour for the group to return to New Song Town, and at this time, Zhou Xiao had been waiting for a long time, so Wang Xuan patiently listened to his report on the current situation of New Song Town, and also looked at the design sand table.

Not to mention, according to this design, the completed New Song Town is more than ten times better than it is now, and it is comparable to Jixiang City.

Spacious and straight avenues, exquisite buildings with different characteristics, a variety of leisure places, ingenious stadiums, and bustling shopping malls give people a strong visual impact.

"Utilities buildings can be prioritized, materials are coming in, and in the future, Ash Canyon will be developed, and the transportation of materials will be disrupted. Then make a way that leads to the top of the cliff, and come out there, where there is gold. ”

Zhou Xiao naturally knew that the gold Wang Xuan said was not the gold, and it was obvious that he had made a discovery on this trip.

Zhou Xiao has been worried about the development of Xinsong Town, although the construction funds are allocated by the Government Council, but if it is not profitable after completion, he, the mayor of the town, will not sit for long, so he often ponders the way to get money.

Now that I heard that the new Song Dynasty also has a pillar industry similar to Yongsheng, how can I still bear it, "What the Lord said is true?"

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people who are accompanying you, but this is a matter of auspicious future, and it must be kept strictly secret. Wang Xuan said solemnly, Zhou Xiao had to be cautious.

"How can there be a reason to dig your own grave, the minister guarantees that there will be no fault here, so let the security team send someone to guard it. Zhou Xiao said that he was about to go out to call someone, but was stopped by Wang Xuan.

"Wait, isn't there no silver here, I'll make my own arrangements in a few days. ”

After chatting about the construction plan of the new Song Town, the two dispersed, and Wang Xuan went to find the ancestor of the Song family.

"Did you really find it? I heard Xiaoyi say it's sweet, what are your plans, how long are you going to stay here, what do we need to do?" The old man didn't give Wang Xuan a chance to breathe at all, and asked one after another.

"It's true that I found it, but this matter must be kept strictly secret, especially those in the security team, if they accidentally leak out, they are likely to lose their efforts. ”

Wang Xuan is not pretending to be a hypocrisy, if the foreign leader learns about this and steals it for large-scale planting, how can there be auspiciousness, then the cultivated land area really can't grow much stevia, and it would be good to be able to feed people.

"I also explained this matter to Xiaoyi, the people who went there this time were all isolated and reprimanded, and I will nag them again tomorrow, how can our own wealth be cheaper than others. ”

When the old man said the word 'wealth', his eyes lit up, and his aura suddenly burst out, and he had the posture of doing something if he didn't agree with him.

Wang Xuan secretly scolded the old man Scrooge in his heart, but on the surface he also felt the same way, "This is the best, I plan to build a road here to the small halfway point of the cliff to facilitate the transportation of materials, and build a sugar processing factory at the cliff to produce sugar." ”

"It's good to build a factory, I support this decision, and our people here should also support it. ”

The old man now looks at Wang Xuan, the more pleasing he becomes, every sentence goes to his heart, he knows the news that Xinsong Town is going to be overhauled earlier than anyone else, and he is also one of the first few people he has seen in the sand table of Xinzhen, and his heart is really comfortable.

"The land is too small, and it needs to be opened up to the south, and the planting area will be expanded after removing the shrubs and weeds, and only by forming a scale can you make a lot of money. Wang Xuan knew that this old boy loved money, so he took advantage of the situation to drive him to do things in the name of making money.

Sure enough, the old man's heart was moved, "To open up, we must open up, from the foot of the mountain up, as long as the terrain allows, expand into a planting area." ”

To the south of the West Mountain, the terrain is higher, if the old man goes crazy and wants to develop the whole mountain to grow stevia, Wang Xuan believes that he has the intention of killing him first. Not to mention the thousands of people of the Song family, even the entire auspicious plus the original millions of people in Chiyan are not enough for this piece of Western Mountain.

"After all, it is not suitable for planting this kind of crops on a large scale here, and the land should be developed as much as possible, and we will not worry about having no land after the southern military port is completed. ”

Wang Xuan believes that there must be islands overseas, and there must be many suitable for development and livability, so finding a suitable place to plant stevia can not only keep it secret, but also expand overseas, the best of both worlds!

It is not difficult to guess what Wang Xuan means by transplanting stevia overseas, so the ancestor of the Song family is anxious, "You can't poach it all, we are poor here, there is nothing to look forward to, it is easy to have hope, don't give it off!"

"Where do you always want to go, I'm just saying that this is not suitable for large-scale planting, not that it can't be planted. Even if all the land that can be developed here is planted, it will only be enough to supply the needs of millions of people, how many people are there in our Great Xia, and how many people are there in the entire continent?"

The old man is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very proficient, he will naturally calculate this account, no matter whether Wang Xuan will grow stevia overseas or not, his output here is only enough to supply the needs of millions of people. In other words, Wang Xuan's new plantations opened overseas will not affect this place at all, because the demand is too great and the supply is too small.

In Wang Xuan's words, this is a typical supply-side market, with a price but no market.

"What should be here or what is going to be here can cut off your hope. Besides, after the new town is built, I guess you won't have the heart to put it on it. ”

After the new town is built, tourists will flock to it under the strong propaganda of auspiciousness, and they will not have the time and energy to do anything else, and the tourists will make the best money.

"Yes, there are more than 3,000 people here, and there are nearly 1,000 laborers to drive, and we are not short of people. ”

Wang Xuan looked at the old man's super confident appearance and was a little funny, "I'll give you the old calculation, there are nearly 100 shops in the new town, each of which needs 200 people according to the calculation of two employees; each holiday villa needs two to four people to take care of it, and the two areas as large as the foot of the mountain and the mountainside cannot be taken down without 300 people; the transportation of goods needs manpower, and after the reputation of the resort here spreads, the materials will be massive, and it is also necessary to have a 100-person transport team; not to mention hotels, inns, small merchants and hawkers, which ones do not consume manpower?" Not to mention that there are nearly 1,000 laborers, even if 35,000 are filled in, there is no sound. ”

In addition, there are many labor needs in the public service industry, Wang Xuan did not mention, once the new Song Town is officially put into operation, the manpower here will be stretched.

"Transfer, buy, learn from you to buy people. ”

The old man bounced up on the ground, blushing and shouting at Wang Xuan with a thick neck to buy someone, hey, this old boy, spitting Xingzi squirted all over the face!
