Li Ke's words will not fool Li Zhen, he didn't expect that the future Datang would open up the land like this? Isn't this issue of land annexation the most important issue in all dynasties? Why is this majesty open?

Wouldn't it be possible to see this in the eyes of His Majesty? That must be impossible.

After so many years, what kind of vision Your Majesty has, they all know in their hearts, it can be said that no one in the world can be smarter than Your Majesty, in this case, why is Your Majesty open?

But...... That's a good thing.

"Is this land purchase also in the form of a state-owned commercial bank?" Li Zhenwei hesitated.

"Of course not, you are allowed to do it in a private way." Li Ke smiled and said, "After purchasing the land, it is your private land, which can be passed on, of course, it is still what I said, you must abide by the law of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes." Li Zhenwei was a little confused, this news was different from what he thought before.

"That's it, since you're here, it just so happens that I also have a development need in Xinjiang Prefecture here, so it just so happens that I'll call the head of the Li family in Longxi over, if you want, then set a precedent for Datang." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Yes......" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse.

Li Ke directly asked Xu Xiang to call the head of the Li family in Longxi, and now most of the heads of the major families in the Tang Dynasty are in Chang'an, or they all have two family heads, the main one is in Chang'an, and the one who can preside over other family affairs is in the family location.

After all, Chang'an now represents the administrative and political center of the entire Tang Dynasty, and many policies must be understood at the first time, but it is the hometown where the family is located, and the daily things handled are just a series of things such as family-run business, reading, etc.

None of this is a big deal, and even if it's delayed, it won't affect the overall situation.

Xu Xiang went to call someone, and Li Ke chatted with Li Zhenwei here until Li Zhang, the head of the Li family in Longxi, arrived.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"Well, sit down, that's right, Li Zhenwei just came to me and wanted to ask about the idea of developing the place in Datang. And it just so happens that I picked out a place before, I don't know if you are interested. Li Ke nodded and said directly.

Li Zhang hesitated, to be honest he was not interested.

Although His Majesty said this in the court before, Li Zhang was not too interested in this, he was actually more interested in building railways, or investing in some industrial factories of state-owned commercial banks, and he was interested in this.

Because he thinks that the current academicians in the Datang Ministry of Industry, or the current Academy of Sciences of Datang, are researching things that have a future.

Whether it was the zigzag plow, or the horse-drawn carriage, or the miraculous steam engine, etc., they were all very interesting to him. If you can invest in such a firm, it is clear that the future profits will be even greater.

It's just that at present, it seems that the imperial court definitely has no intention of opening up the investment of state-owned commercial banks in these aspects, but if they want to intervene themselves, they need to buy back relevant products first, and then hire some of their own scholars, who are currently called researchers or scientists by the Tang Dynasty, to conduct research.

When the daylilies are produced, are they cold, and their costs can be lower than those of state-owned commercial banks?

Since Datang is not ready to open this part of the space, what Li Ke said made Li Zhang hesitate.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what these areas are?" Li Zhang also asked directly.

"It's Tacheng in Xinjiang Prefecture, Yili River Valley and other places." Li Ke also did not hide that these two places are indeed the main development areas for him in the next step.

First, the railway will pass through these places, and second, these places are the main production areas of Xinjiang cotton in later generations, and Li Ke developed these places to mainly plant cotton, and the current cotton has begun to be planted in Gaochang and other places in Xinjiang.

However, the land in these places was originally limited, so it was still developed in the later generations of Tacheng and other places, and now Datang does not only own the Yili River Valley and Tacheng.

Including several stan states in later generations, that is, the current Western Turks, there are actually a large number of areas suitable for growing cotton, and if these areas develop slowly, there will be no shortage of cotton production in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Li Zhenwei was a little dazed in these two areas, but Li Zhang had the impression that these two places were not considered powerful countries in the Western Regions, but the overall environment could indeed be developed.

After pondering for a long time, "On behalf of the Li family in Longxi, the minister agreed to invest ......," Li Zhang said directly.

"Don't be reluctant, these two places will be open to the public for bidding at that time." Li Ke smiled, these two places are actually very profitable, not to mention the profits of cotton, just say that there are famous oil fields in the Tacheng area.

And the oil in this place even comes straight out of the ground, which is one of the easier parts to extract.

If Datang's technology is not up to par, if the early mining is not good, it will naturally complement each other.

Of course, the exploitation of oil will seem to be a lot of profits in later generations, after all, the oil guys are so rich, but in the early stage, the profits of the entire state-owned commercial banks can actually be constantly controlled.

Not to mention anything else, oil machinery, roads, workers, etc., which must not be invested? That's not a small amount either.

"Yes!" Li Zhang immediately agreed.

Since the two of them came over, and they also had this intention, after sending them away, Li Ke simply found Fang Xuanling and the three of them and announced the matter to them.

"Your Majesty, is it because there are railways passing through these two places, so is it the focus of the next development? Moreover, in order for the Tang Dynasty to target the three kingdoms of Arabia, Persia and Byzantium in the future, the Tang Dynasty must also have some relatively prosperous commerce and other areas on the way to the Western Regions. ”

"It's really the best place to go." After Fang Xuanling listened, he pondered for a while and then spoke.

As the Shangshu of Shangshu Province, Fang Xuanling naturally knew that since His Majesty said that the railway was built directly from the north of the Tianshan Mountain Range, it happened to pass through the Tacheng area, and if this place was developed, the biggest advantage of the railway could also be completed.

Although the railway construction plan may be delayed in the Yili River Valley, it is only delayed in connecting with the internal Tang Dynasty, but the Yili River Valley can directly build a railway to the west, and if it reaches the end of the Tianshan Mountains, the railways on both sides can be connected at that time.

It's a detour, but it doesn't matter, the future always has to be connected.

"Well, that's part of it, and part of the reason is that these places are very suitable for the growth of cotton, and cotton is the next strategic production material for Datang." Li Ke nodded and said, there are too many roles of cotton, and there are all kinds of new materials, not just weaving cloth to make clothes.
