Everyone pretended not to hear, as for Li Ke, he didn't care about this at all, what was there to be embarrassed about this?

"Li Xin is right, the largest part of the money did flow into my hands, but what do I do with this money? One is to provide military salaries for the 50,000 elite soldiers stationed in Xizhou in the Tang Dynasty! That's where their pay comes from! Secondly, all the funds in the "First Five-Year Plan" for the entire Xizhou such as the construction of cities also need to be spent by me. ”

"In the end, we need to spend a lot of money in the early stage to build an official road service area to hire those veterans."

"In the later stage, you should know about my renovation of the roads in Chang'an City, such as some of the main roads in our Xizhou, I may even use cement to renovate them, these all cost money!" Li Ke said with a calm face.

As soon as everyone heard it, the strange expression just now disappeared, and if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, these things are all spent by His Royal Highness! Think about the amount of money it would cost to build a city! Everyone's scalp is a little numb! The amount of money spent is not a small number, and now His Highness is responsible for it!

It is conceivable that if His Highness doesn't want to make money, how can he afford to raise the entire Xizhou! Thinking about it like this, everyone understood Li Ke's behavior of making money just now.

Your Highness, it's not easy!

However, among these people, Li Yan didn't have any special expression on her face, just a gentle face, looking at Li Ke who was talking eloquently with a smile, while Li Xin had a somewhat weird expression.

Although you are right to say this, third brother, the steel mill, the cement factory, the limestone yard, including the fishing boats, the sackcloth sold, etc., all belong to the third brother, your own trading house.

Then all the herdsmen hired also worked for the third brother, and then almost all the funds earned by these herdsmen were spent in the third brother's trading house.

In other words, the circulation of this money finally forms a complete closed loop...... And the scale can continue to grow...... Third brother, did you really spend money? It seems that you have to spend raw materials to build roads and cities, but the problem is that raw materials from production to the final finished product to the final construction process, a complete closed loop is your own industry, so think about it, all your costs can be regarded as labor costs.

And the money for the cost of manpower, you earn it back.

Li Xin lowered his little head, like a quail, and we didn't dare to speak.

"Your Highness, do we want to sell our ironware?" Li Daozong asked.

"No, we need to use a lot of iron tools for our own construction, and there is no balance to sell to the outside world for the time being, just keep it for sale to all the people in the Xizhou Territory, that is, our food stamps can be exchanged." Li Ke shook his head very simply, although his steel output is large, at least for now, there is not much margin.

Several cities are placed here, just to build these cities requires a lot of steel, oh, speaking of which, I have to say it, Li Ke's construction of the city really can't be called reinforced concrete, after all, the premise of reinforced concrete is that it is steel inside, but Li Ke is called iron reinforcement at best.

Anyway, the use of iron bars can also ensure good quality, although the shelf life is shorter, but iron bars can also be used for twenty or thirty years No problem, right? When the time comes, you can just maintain it directly.

There is no way to use so much steel at the moment.

"Then Lu Hai, when you sell to the outside world next, you will follow this." Li Ke said.

"Yes! Your Highness! Lu Hai immediately bowed and said.

"By the way, in the first batch of salt sold in Chang'an City, five hundred catties will be sent to the palace, and I will pay for it." Li Ke said.

"Yes." Lu Hai did not refute, the accounts of the firm must be leveled, this is given to them by His Royal Highness, even if the entire firm is His Royal Highness, but it must be clear between public and private, even if it is a year down, the firm will transfer the profits to His Highness, and re-do the accounts next year.

"That Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian." Li Ke said.

"The minister is here."

"Starting tomorrow, with each of you leading 5,000 cavalry, you will start the distribution of cattle and sheep, and prepare for the distribution of seeds, and alfalfa can be planted this year." Li Ke said.

"Yes!"

The population and the statistics of cattle, sheep and horses in the whole of Xizhou have also been obtained, and at present, with the propaganda of the previous wave of herdsmen, many herdsmen who fled into the deep mountains and old forests have come out again, and a large number of herdsmen are migrating in this direction from the direction of Tibet.

The migration of these Tibetan tribes is divided into two parts, one part is because of the propaganda of the Tuyuhun herdsmen, although these Tubo tribes are skeptical, but there are also many people who are tempted, because they are also exploited by the aristocracy, and there are many people who can't survive.

Now His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty has publicly said that anyone who enters the territory of Xizhou is the people of the Tang Dynasty, and if you become a Tang person, you naturally don't have to worry about being exploited by the previous nobles, not to mention that there are Tuyuhun people who have appeared to say that His Royal Highness will distribute Yongye sheep, cattle, and horses to everyone.

They believe this, because Datang has Yongye Field, and they don't know how to farm, so it is natural for cattle, sheep and horses to be born.

Therefore, many small tribes directly drove the cattle, sheep and horses that helped the nobles graze and ran away.

But what they didn't know was that they didn't have to sneak away from those nobles, and they didn't have a chance to trouble them, because almost all the Tubo nobles south of the Kunlun Mountains were swept away by Murong Shun!

And the other part of the people who migrated was because they didn't believe in Tuyuhun's rumors, after all, in their opinion, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were so kind? Willing to give them cattle, sheep and horses?

But who knew that Murong Shun would come and kill all the Tubo nobles! But they were let go.

Now...... If you don't run, you can't do it, if you wait for the Tibetan Zampu to arrive, these herdsmen will definitely be killed by other nobles, this part of the people is forced to migrate, instead of waiting to be killed, it is better to go to Bo A way out, maybe His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty is really like that.

No matter what reason they started to migrate, as long as they migrated over, Li Ke was not afraid of them running away!

Including these people, the current population of the entire Tuyuhun is only 473,000, with 112,000 households, with an average of about 4.2 people per household.

At present, Tuyuhun has a total of 3.07 million sheep, 1.02 million cattle, and 720,000 horses.

According to the number of these cattle, sheep and horses, Li Ke finally made a decision, the sheep are divided according to the number of people, an average of 6 Yongye sheep per person, of which the male and female are equally distributed, so that a total of 2.83 million sheep are distributed out, and the cattle are distributed according to two per person, a total of 946,000 cattle, and the horses are distributed according to 5 horses per household, a total of 560,000 horses.

To be honest, after this number was counted, Li Ke was not surprised by the number of cattle and sheep, but the number of horses was less than Li Ke expected.

Li Ke inquired carefully and learned that in fact, there may be only one horse belonging to these herdsmen, and most of the other horses are nobles, because the nobles are also controlling the number of herdsmen's horses.

720,000 horses sounds like a lot, but aside from foals, old horses, pregnant mares, and those born with mixed qualities, the eligible war horses are probably one in ten.

In fact, the word war horse is only distinguished from the Tang Dynasty, for example, when many herdsmen fight, they ride their own horses and go directly to the battle, which is considered a war horse, but in fact, their war horses are not qualified in many places.

For example, the war horses of the Tang Dynasty have to go through strict training, such as selecting horses that match their age, and then taking these horses to start ramming some papier-mâché dummies first, and then gradually increasing to become dummies made of straw, and then using some spears made of straw and spears to stab these war horses, so that they think that these "spears" do not hurt them, until they dare to directly collide with some infantry phalanxes and cavalry phalanxes.

However, many of the horses of Tuyuhun's cavalry did not meet this condition at all, and some of them met the requirements, and the other part was directly coerced and charged.

As for the surplus cattle, sheep and horses, the Datang Royal Ranch can be established.
