Pang Juan was buying Xuanjia, buying weapons, and buying disc magic weapons, and Li Kui was also taken by Xiao He to visit various production and life magic weapons.

"Hanoi County is so big, and there is so much land that can be cultivated, it's not easy to cultivate."

"If we rely on manpower alone, we will have at least eight million people. Today, Hanoi County has a total population of just over one million, and most of them are still in the hands of nobles, and even if they get all the land after hard work, they do not have enough manpower to cultivate it. ”

"And if you rely on ploughing cattle, the number of ploughing cattle required is also massive, 100,000 ploughing cattle will be thrown into it, and millions of ploughing cattle will be thrown in to see significant results."

"But a lot of people don't know how to raise cattle at all, let alone a million cows?"

Li Kui nodded slightly, Xiao He was telling the truth: "So I came to Yancheng, these problems should be solved in Dongning Island, right?" ”

Today, Yancheng has ten counties, and the total population is about to reach 9 million, with an average county population of 900,000.

I really can't solve this problem, but Yancheng has a smaller population in a county, and the average amount of land that each person needs to cultivate may be more, so how does Yancheng solve this problem?

Xiao He nodded slightly: "This problem has indeed been studied in Yancheng for a long time, and then I will take Brother Dao to wander around, take a look in person, and take a look." ”

Immediately, the two of them drove away on the clouds, and after a while, the clouds descended and came to the vicinity of a certain village.

Along the way, people kept looking up at the two of them, and Li Kui alone felt dozens of eyes, and suddenly, he had a clear understanding of the power above Dongning Island: Dongning Island cannot be offended, and it cannot be defeated.

"This village was only developed in the spring of this year, and fortunately, just in time for spring ploughing, now about 60,000 acres of land have been reclaimed outside the entire village, and there are a total of 496 people in the whole village and nearly 500 people."

"However, out of the five hundred, there are about seventy or so strong men, who are not in the village. There are also 30 people, who set up a patrol team in the village, and patrol the area within a radius of 30 miles every day with the village as the center. So, in fact, most of the time there are about 400 people in the village. ”

"There are 60 people who are going to school in the primary school, and if you remove a few infants and young children, and remove a few who are too old to do heavy work, the number of people who actually work every day is about 300."

"There are 300 people, but there are as many as 60,000 acres of cultivated land, and the average person has 200 acres of land, and they can't do it if they are exhausted."

Hearing this, Li Kui nodded seriously: "I have studied a lot of journals published in Yancheng. Many types of journals have been carefully read more than once. Some have even practiced it themselves, and they have really benefited a lot. ”

After recalling a few breaths, Li Kui continued: "Yancheng agriculture also has a periodical, this journal specializes in all kinds of advanced, practical farming knowledge, called the agricultural book, this agricultural book is issued every ten days, each issue I have carefully studied, read more than once. Now, when I close my eyes, I can recall every book I have read. ”

"Yancheng, encourage the people and scholars to go to the fields and cultivate the land in person."

"Ordinary people are tired and tired to plant more than ten acres of land a year, if the number of acres is more, they will not be able to do intensive cultivation, if a person is responsible for more than 50 acres of land, it may be a simple sowing of seeds, and the rest of the superfluous actions, there is no time or energy to invest in every acre of land."

"It is said in the agricultural book that an ordinary person does not have high-quality agricultural tools made of steel, hoes, sickles, and shovels...... Then a person's acres of intensive cultivation in a year may be less than seven acres of land. ”

"But when farming is busy, especially when harvesting, as soon as the weather arrives, it will only take a few days, and once the time passes, the harvest will be seriously affected."

"The method of ordinary villages is to pay people to come and help with the work, but here there is an average of 200 acres of land per person, and the strong men of the whole village are not in the village all year round, so this method does not work."

"As for the use of special large-scale agricultural tools by Chinese people, one person can plough hundreds of acres of land or even hundreds of acres of land a year, which cannot solve the problem of difficult harvesting for ordinary people."

Xiao He nodded slightly, this Li Kui in front of him is a capable and practical person: "What Brother Li said is true, these 60,000 acres of land are actually not cultivated by 300 people who are old and weak, they are more usually to see if there is any problem, if there is, immediately report to the township, and the township will solve the problem." ”

"Nowadays, Yancheng has created a series of relatively mature agricultural methods, from sowing to harvesting, from watering to pest control, there are many series of production and life methods."

Hearing this, Li Kui nodded again: "Indeed, there are many records in the agricultural book. ”

It's just that most of these accounts are rough and not detailed enough. The third volume of the book of agriculture once published a harvester that uses the earth's spiritual energy, which uses the earth's spiritual energy as a power source, and can be driven by alchemists, and a small harvester can harvest three to five hundred acres of land in one day and one night. If it is a medium-sized harvester, it needs several square craftsmen to drive it, and it can harvest 2,000 acres of land in one day and night. ”

"It's a pity that I have always been in a state of only hearing about this agricultural artifact, although I have always wanted to see it, but I don't have time to come to Dongning Island to take a trip."

"Brother Li can see enough today, the equipment on these agricultural books can be sold to the outside world, and everything can be discussed."

When the time came in the evening, Li Kui reluctantly withdrew his gaze, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and went to dinner with Xiao He.

On the wine table, Xiao He poured wine for Li Kui: "Brother Li, there are better things waiting for you tonight." ”

Li Kui took the wine poured by Xiao He with both hands and drank it all, and he didn't mean anything: "The son is smelling Shao, and I don't know the taste of meat in March." ”

"Now I've been looking at the baby for an afternoon, and now my mind is full of these agricultural equipment, and the price hasn't been talked about yet, and my heart is always up and down, just like being scratched by a cat's paw, and I can't calm down at all."

Xiao He said with a smile: "These things are actually not expensive, and they can even be sold at cost price." ”

"For example, a small harvester, which weighs thousands of pounds as a whole, is made of steel, and some key parts are made of special metals, which is not easy to make."

"Moreover, there are Taoist runes painted all over, and the runes used in different places are also different. It looks very simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated, which involves a lot of new knowledge, if you don't understand anything, the imitation of agricultural equipment, the efficiency is very average. ”

"Moreover, a small harvester can harvest three or five hundred acres of land in one day and night, and it only needs one alchemist to control it, how much does Brother Li think this thing is worth?"

"It's a great thing, but it's also about benefits and costs."

"The yield per mu of one acre of land is only four stones, even if this thing can harvest hundreds of acres of land in one day and night, that is, one or two thousand stones of grain. If it's too expensive, I think the nobles would rather use slaves than use them. ”

"It costs money to use it, and it costs money to hire a priest, but for many nobles, slaves don't cost money at all. If you are tired, go to the wild to catch the wildling, if you don't have enough manpower, you still go to the wild to catch the wildling, and if you die too much, then go to the wild to catch more wildlings. ”

No matter how good your machine is, if the price is too high, the nobles will simply use the savages, and they will not be able to promote it at all!

This guy is so shrewd, it's hard to kill! Xiao He thought silently.

"This thing contains the painstaking efforts of many Taoists, and the material alone costs thousands of catties of steel, which has always been sold in two. One or two pieces of steel are a hundred dollars, and the material cost of steel alone is millions of dollars. ”

"If you add the Taoist people engraved the Taoist pattern on the steel, plus the magic weapon in the core part, even if the cost price is not less than 10 million yuan. Brother Li, you are a distinguished guest in Yancheng, if you are an outsider, the price of a small harvester will not be less than 20 million yuan, and if you give it to Brother Li, you will only be charged 15 million yuan. ”

Hearing this, Li Kui shook his head again and again: "This is really too expensive, if it is so expensive, this thing will definitely not be sold." Nowadays, a slave in the market is only tens of thousands of dollars, and this thing can buy hundreds of slaves. ”

"Hundreds of slaves, cultivating thousands of acres of land. And slaves can be reused, and they can be bought when they die. ”

"However, the cost of this thing is here, and thousands of catties of steel alone are used. One or two pieces of steel cost 100 yuan, and a pound of steel is 1,000 yuan, which is not cheap. ”

"Two million is a good number, if it is too high, it is really not worth it, and I would rather use slaves than buy this thing."

"Two million dollars? You can't even buy a hundred slaves! ”

"As for catching the wildlings, where to catch them? Nowadays, many savages have become the wealth of the nobles, and they all have masters, and they can't catch too much. ”

"A hundred slaves, even if they are exhausted, can't withstand this harvester. Moreover, if the slaves were used as consumables, they would die of exhaustion in a few years. But this harvester can work for 20 years, to say the least, and the longer it goes, the more it earns! ”

"In this case, I will make the decision to reduce our Hanoi County by another three million dollars." As he spoke, Xiao He gave three thumbs up.

"No, no, I can't afford it at all, I can't afford it even if you sell it!"

"Brother Xiao, I hit it off with you at first sight, so let's tell you the truth."

"The entire county of Hanoi is in my plan, and at least 80 million acres of land will be developed."

"These 80 million acres of land, 10,000 acres of land to buy at least one small harvester, 80 million acres of land is 8,000 units, if you take into account the influence of terrain and other factors, you may have to buy 10,000 small harvesters."

"Moreover, this small harvester has not been used on a large scale, whether it is useful or not, and how useful it is, it has to be pulled out to know."

"The most important thing is that Hanoi County is clearly advertising our Yancheng. The higher the agricultural income of Hanoi County next year, the higher the yield per mu, and the more convenient the harvesting time, the greater the reputation of our Yancheng. ”

"Moreover, our Taishou is still the young master of the Wei clan, if it is really effective, the Taishou will definitely return to the Wei clan in person to promote, and then it will not be the business of the land of the small Hanoi county, and the Wei clan's own fief will have more than a hundred counties. When the Wei family adopts it, will the Han family, the Zhao family, and the Zhi family be far away? Will the entire Jin Kingdom be far away? The Jin Kingdom is the largest country today, and in this order, if everything goes well, it may not take more than a hundred years for this thing to be promoted to the whole world. ”

"What is this? This is destiny! ”

"The Mandate of Heaven is in front of you, how can you influence or even delay the opportunity for the Salt Monarch to obtain the Mandate of Heaven and become the first monarch or an innate true person for a little money?"

"So, why don't you pay three million dollars for one?"

"No, no, no, this price is not enough even if it is a cost price! You dismantle the harvester and sell the steel, it's more than that! ”

Yancheng's steel output has actually exceeded the standard for a long time, and the small Yancheng, even the entire nest country, can't digest it.

At this time, the price of steel should have dropped a long time ago, and the price of cabbage has fallen internally, but the outside world is different!

In the outside world, in most countries, steel is still a scarce strategic resource, which can be used to build armor. No number of Dao soldiers can wear armor made of pure steel, mainly because the production is insufficient, and money can't buy so much.

In the end, the two sides sold the deal at a price of 6 million units, but only 1,000 units were purchased in the first phase. If you want to ask why, because the land under the name of Taishoufu is relatively small now, it is necessary to clean up those nobles.

After drinking and eating, Xiao He whispered, "Brother Li, have you heard of the mining series magic weapons?" ”

Li Kui instantly eliminated the alcohol on his body with the Dao method, and nodded soberly.

"Would you like to buy some?"

"This mine is money!"

"Copper mines can be minted into copper coins, and the demand for copper coins is almost unlimited today."

"There is also a gold mine, one or two golden sands is 10,000 yuan, and golden sands is still a good material, and many magic weapons need to use golden sands."

"In addition, sterling silver is also very popular with Qi Refiners."

"Any large-scale metal, the Qi Refiners love it."

"This mine is not a mine at all, it is money!"

Li Kui had to nod, this time he was really pinched, and the bargaining was not good......

……

The next day, Xiao He and Wu Qi took a long list to report their harvest to Jiang Hua.

"Lord, Hanoi County has purchased 2,000 sets of Xuanjia alone, and when we talked, I never covered up the matter of training the Huang-level Dao soldiers and the battle between Taiping County. This time, they purchased a total of about 30 billion yuan of armaments, and when these good things were shipped, the strength of the Hanoi County Taishou Mansion would immediately soar to the point of suppressing the nobles in the county. ”

"My lord, Hanoi County is very confident, the series of magic weapons in agriculture, the series of magic weapons in mining, and many other types of production and life magic weapons, together sold for about 50 billion yuan. And he is very wealthy, he has left half of the deposit, all high-purity golden sand, and it can only be said that this financial strength is worthy of being the son of the Wei family. ”

Jiang Hua looked at the list: "Find a chance and tell the Taiping Dao people." ”

It's time for the Taiping Dao people to work hard!

In order to let the Taiping Dao people roll up, Jiang Hua is also well-intentioned.
