The world is so big, it is not enough to use the imperial court to popularize infrastructure, we must rely on the power of these gate valve families! Let them follow suit!

Li Ke knew very well that it would be too slow and unrealistic for him or all of the state-owned commercial banks to do these things. Economic development is bound to have its own laws.

You can't let these gate valve families make no money, that's impossible, and Li Ke can't monopolize all the industries, since they can all make money, then find a way to let them spend all the money.

It's not just about spending on flowers, drinking, and entertainment.

In fact, in this regard, some big gate valve families have very strict family rules, and although their disciples are generous, they will not be outrageous.

Therefore, it is impossible to get them to spend the money completely, and at this time, it is important to mobilize their enthusiasm.

And the easiest way to attract them to spend money is to give them a project that they can meet and have long-term benefits in the future, and this kind of project is what these gate valve families want to see the most.

And in order to achieve this purpose, these gate valve families funded the construction of official roads, which is very reasonable, right? They'll do the math themselves.

Only by concentrating everyone's money in the world to do big things, then the progress of Datang's official road will become very fast.

This is true not only for roads, but also for other constructions such as factories.

Therefore, these big injustices Li Ke must be beneficial to the better. For example, Li Ke first used luxury goods and other means to earn a profit of 100 yuan from them at a cost of 1 yuan to the state treasury.

Then use the national project to contract the project to these gate valve families, but although the total profit of these projects is 110 yuan, the profit margin is only about 10%.

This allows you to do the most with the least amount of money.

Anyway, Li Ke has more ways to make money in his hands, and there are more ways to attract them to want to invest, so don't worry.

The total number of 100 million mu makes everyone a little stunned, does Datang use so many rubber trees?

"Your Highness, do we use so much rubber?" Feng Ang couldn't help but ask this question, in fact, everyone else also wanted to know, if it was simply planted, it wouldn't be used in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of labor and money?

"It takes at least five years for rubber trees to start tapping, and after five years, the amount of rubber tapping is very small, and it takes at least eight or nine years for rubber trees to produce a large amount."

"This also means that if you want to expand to 100 million acres, it may take at least ten or twenty years."

"The current Datang can't be used, but it doesn't mean that the Datang in the future can't be used."

"Have you seen the brand-new carriage manufactured by Datang BMW Commercial Bank? The tires on it are all rubber products, and what if the entire Datang transportation caravan uses this kind of tire in the future? How much rubber does that need? ”

"Or will there be bigger and more carriages in the future, and other machinery and equipment? How much do you say you need? Li Ke said with a smile.

Many tires in later generations are artificial synthetic rubber, and natural rubber is not enough at all, although Datang synthetic rubber is estimated to take decades, and it is made of natural rubber in the early stage, so you don't have to worry about whether this thing can be used.

When the production technology such as tires and bearings keeps up, any bicycle and the like can be arranged, and at that time, maybe after the internal combustion engine appears, the car can also appear.

Anyway, there's a lot to be done in the vast world.

What's more, rubber is not only to make tires, there are too many places where rubber needs to be used, and there are too many industries in the industry that have something to do with it.

With the growth rate of rubber trees, as well as the current expansion rate of Datang rubber trees, there is no need to worry about anything else.

"We get it." Everyone nodded, and they all had some ideas in their eyes, if the rubber industry is so optimistic about the future, should we plant some ourselves.

But it is certainly impossible for them to plant now, because all the seeds are taken out by His Highness, and they cannot use His Highness's seeds casually, and they will talk about it in the future when the tree is mature and there are seeds to plant.

Li Ke naturally saw their thoughts, all the industries that can make money and have a future, don't worry about the lack of vision of these gate valve families, they can always find people with sufficient vision in their family.

"Well, as for the large-scale planting of rubber trees in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places that I told you on the new map, my personal idea is to carry out it in the form of collective farms." Li Ke said.

"Collective farm?" Everyone was shocked, when His Highness came up with something new, it meant that there was a new way to make money, and they had already figured it out.

"Well, collective farms, or collective cooperatives, can also be called. It is to set up a commercial bank with a village as a unit to operate the cultivation. When the time comes, after making a profit, everyone will collectively distribute the dividends and profits. ”

"Because there are some villages that are very poor and do not have the money to buy saplings, what should we do if we buy tools for planting trees, such as zigzag ploughs and even shovels and pickaxes? At this time, if someone becomes a shareholder, for example, Geng Guogong, you have signed a collective cooperative with two villages with a total of 5,000 acres of rubber forests. ”

"They don't have money, you pay for the roads in the early stage, buy them farm tools, they are responsible for planting, and then even when the rubber is not harvested in the past few years, you also pay them monthly money so that they can have a good life."

"By investing upfront, you have, for example, a 50 percent stake in the collective."

"In the future, when the rubber trees in the farm make money, you can share 50% of the profits every year, and the villagers will share the other 50%, of course, the villagers have to work and take care of these rubber trees, so they also have monthly money every day, and this monthly money will be paid by the collective cooperative funded by both parties, after deducting wages, etc., the rest is dividends." Li Ke gave an example.

As soon as his words came out, Li Ke could see that the eyes of many of these people present lit up. They are responsible for planting rubber trees, and they know very well that there are about 25 rubber trees per acre of land (now 500 square meters per acre in Datang).

Datang's rubber must be relatively expensive in the early stage, and if it is calculated by commercial behavior, the profits that these rubber trees can earn are not low.

"As for this deadline, my personal suggestion is to sign it according to fifty years, generally speaking, there should be no problem with a rubber tree being cut for thirty or fifty years." Li Ke added.

"Understood, will this form be extended to other industries in the future? For example, medicinal herbs? Ning Changzhen next to him asked.

"Yes, at that time, some places will encourage the establishment of this kind of collective cooperative to grow some economic crops with some businessmen because they are not suitable for farming."

"For example, the raw material business of cotton and linen, silkworms and other silk fabrics." Li Ke gave them an example with what he had already done.
