After the hot pot was eaten, the snow stopped.

The snow here is different from Daming, it is more like frost and ice breaking, and it doesn't fall much, and there are signs of melting when people step on it.

The palace is very large, far beyond the specifications of the Ming Domain, up to half the area of the palace, except for the grassland, flower beds, gardens and other unique areas, the others are paved with stone slabs, but do not have to worry about mud.

"It's the first time I've experienced a cool feeling in the cold winter moon." Tang Bohu sighed, "The climate here is really good." ”

Just finished eating the hot pot, sweating slightly, facing the cool breeze, the slightly drunk Tang Bohu was not comfortable.

Li Qing also felt comfortable, but still reminded: "One hot and one cold, the most susceptible to wind cold, be careful." ”

"I'm not in such a bad health, it was much colder than this in the Peach Blossom Temple, the house was leaking, and it was winter......" he recounted the difficult years, "Sir, do you know, I once had the experience of not eating for three days, guess what?" ”

"How?"

"Hey, I'm not hungry at all, I don't feel hungry after three days of no smoke......" Tang Bohu told a joke, which made Li Qing laugh.

But after laughing, he was distressed, Tang Bohu said it easily, but it is not difficult to imagine how miserable those years were.

Three days without smoking and not feeling hungry, not that I was not hungry, but that I was too hungry.

What Li Qing didn't know was that Tang Bohu in history died of starvation.

"It's all here."

"yes, they're all here." Tang Bohu sighed lightly, "The physical suffering is okay, but the despair in my heart ...... Alas, I really had suicidal thoughts at the beginning, but later I found out that ......"

"Haha...... I'm afraid to die! ”

Li Qing couldn't help but say happily, "What are you talking about...... How many people in the world are not afraid of death? As the old saying goes, it's better to die than to live, and to live is to have hope. ”

"yes, I didn't dare to expect this at the time." Tang Bohu said gratefully, "Thanks to you, sir." ”

"Huh? It doesn't have to be like this, I also have a purpose. Li Qing shook his head lightly, "Using your talent and elegance to promote the spread of Han culture, I call it selfishness." ”

"You call this selfishness? Exploit? Tang Bohu smiled, "If this is used, then I am willing to be used." ”

After a pause, he said, "Sir, I finally understand your intentions now, but ...... Why not do it better? ”

"What?"

"The people are migrating! Wouldn't that be better? ”

"Huh...... Not everyone is as free and easy as you are. Li Qing sighed, "The Han people's rural complex is too heavy, and they refuse to leave their hometown, not that they can't migrate, but there are no conditions for migration, unless...... When the people can't survive, they may consider leaving the country;

But when it comes to the situation where the people live, they can't afford to move here, and they all starve to death on the way! ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "The people call migration as a refugee, this other country, at most go to other provinces, now you let him leave Daming...... The common people will never accept it, and there are still differences in cultural customs, and in the end there are many contradictions...... It's safer and more feasible now. ”

"Han culture has taken root here, and in the future it will grow into a towering tree, eliminating differentiation, and I think some people will take the initiative to move here, and the benefits of opening up the sea and trade are not only wealth, but also exchanges." Li Qing said confidently, "The development of information will inevitably lead to the discovery of the unique climate here." ”

"Or Mr. has seen it thoroughly, I take it for granted." Tang Bohu was convinced, "Sir, you are truly knowledgeable and have great wisdom. ”

Li Qing shook his head with a smile: "I, I've just seen too much, I've lived for a long time, and I have some insight that is not limited to this era, if the same conditions are the same, I will most likely be a hooligan." ”

"Long lived?" Tang Bohu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but when he saw Zhu Qijin coming quickly from a distance, he said, "Sir, you are going to be busy again." ”

Li Qing nodded and advised, "You are thinly dressed, drink a bowl of ginger tea to go to the cold later." ”

While speaking, Zhu Qijin came over and complained: "I'm waiting for you to administer the needle, but you are wandering around, do you have any literacy?" ”

"Cheng, I'll prick you hard in a while."

Zhu Qijin groaned, nodded and said, "If the effect is better, I want to ...... I can live with it. ”

Li Qing: "......"

It's outrageous!

However, it is not an exaggeration for Zhu Qijin to say that he is the emperor of the soil, since ancient times, the emperor loves to cultivate immortals, in order to prolong his life, and even live forever, just like the old saying -

After getting money, I want to be an immortal, and I want to become an immortal when I become an emperor.

People are always not satisfied.

It's just that...... Immortality is not necessarily lucky.

~

On the bed, Zhu Qijin was lying on his stomach, revealing his sturdy and broad back, with more than ten slender silver needles on it, swaying gently with his breathing, the room was red, and the air was filled with the smell of rosin......

"After the New Year, I'll be gone." Li Qing twisted the silver needle and instructed, "Jiaozhi has a pleasant climate, especially in the southern region, you can develop it on a large scale." ”

"What's the development?" Zhu Qijin asked.

"Open up the wasteland." Li Qing smiled, "Don't just stare at silver, food is also an important component of wealth, isn't it?" ”

After a pause, "I've thought about it for you, so I'll plant Yongle beans, Yongle rice, and Xuande potatoes, these crops are not only high-yielding, but also very easy to serve, ensuring that you make a lot of money." ”

"That thing is fresh, it's not as good as rice." Zhu Qijin said, "Also, there are not many people who are willing to farm now, driven by the Ming Dynasty, Du Baba looks at the cup of maritime trade, and the profit from farming is not big." ”

Yongle bean, Yongle rice, Xuande potato...... It is a crop that was more than a few years ago, and it has already spread here in the era of frequent exchange of information on the opening of the sea.

It's just that the climate of Cochin is too good, the rice crops are almost three times a year, and the population is not large, so they seem insignificant and have not been cultivated on a large scale.

"Huh...... That's not what I said, you are the king of Jiaozhi, so naturally you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but the people at the bottom are not like this. Li Qingdao said, "As for farming, it is not very profitable...... It also depends on the scale, if the development is sufficient, it is really not less than busy maritime trade, or even more. ”

Li Qing analyzed for him: "With the continuous development of maritime business, profits will become smaller and smaller, and you can also see this, why not have one more way to make money?" ”

"This ...... Why can't you finish eating? ”

"You can plant hard, and I'll help you with the surplus." Li Qing looked 'good for you', "I will settle the bill with cash at the market price, and you will have a lot of money." ”

There is almost no winter here, even today's three or nine days, it is only about 0 degrees, the snow on the ground can't be stored, and it quickly turns into water, and there is no winter in the southern area, and even summer is the norm.

It's a holy place for farming!

Li Qing looked well-intentioned, "As far as my relationship with your grandfather is concerned, how can I cheat you?" In the early stage, you spend more money to hire people to open up the wasteland, but the back is all net profit, you think, at most, you can recover all the costs in ten years at most, and the rest of your life ...... Including your children and grandchildren, there is no end to the money! ”

"I've always been a good talker, and I promised your grandfather to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and I did it, and I will break my promise on this matter?" Li Qing smiled and said, "You know me, nothing else, just be able to live, listen to me, you can plant it, earn one by one." ”

Zhu Qijin groaned: "Did you say anything in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Even you know my secret, but the key people of the Li family don't know?"

"I don't read much, don't fool me." Zhu Qijin was a little suspicious, "Also, why are you suddenly so kind?" ”

What do you say...... When did I cheat you? ”

Zhu Qijin thought about it, except for the price reduction of the supply of merchant ships, there was really nothing else.

"Nacheng, I'll start preparing for ...... after the New Year," Zhu Qijin asked, "How much can you eat?" ”

"Eat as much as you want!" Li Qingzheng said, "The financial resources of the Yongqing Marquis Mansion are far beyond your imagination, but you can open it vigorously, open it boldly!" ”

"You only come once in five years...... Those things won't last that long! Zhu Qijin was worried.

Li Qing promised: "I will set a tone with the Li family when I go back this time!" ”

After a pause, "Actually, these things are still easy to store, Yongle rice can be stored for many years, and Yongle beans and Xuande potatoes can be dried and ground into powder...... Rest assured, the price of dry work will never let you lose. ”

Zhu Qijin said uneasily: "You have to swear!" ”

In the process, people must often eat meat, otherwise they can't stand it at all, in addition, long-term wasteland should be concentrated on building houses, otherwise it will be hard to run back and forth.

There are also ploughing cattle and farm tools......

Not to mention wages, these expenses alone...... It's not a small number.

In this era, there are no advanced equipment, and it is time-consuming, laborious, costly, and slow to achieve results!

However, the benefits are not small, as long as there are stable buyers, no matter how big the cost is, it can return to the cost, and it will be ...... for a hundred years or a thousand years Profit for even longer.

As long as Jiaozhi does not change power, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not fall, as long as Li Qing does not die......

"I swear ......"

Li Qing didn't hesitate, and immediately made a vicious oath.

Hearing this, Zhu Qijin's last concern disappeared, although he was not good at managing money, he could still understand this account, and immediately laughed.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Thank you! Zhu Qijin grinned.

"Hey~ How old is it? With your grandfather's relationship, I don't want to think about you if it's good? Li Qing struck while the iron was hot, "The more you work, the more you earn, isn't it good to leave more real estate for your children and grandchildren?" ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Qijin was even happier, and the silver needle trembled.

Seeing this, Li Qing was also in a happy mood.

The strategic goal has been initially achieved!

This is not Daming, there is no need to consider the issue of land annexation at all, and if he does not tie up his interests with Zhu Qijin, he will definitely not care.

And this is also conducive to procurement, as well as to control grain prices, after all, he is in charge of Zhu Qijin's life.

took so many golden beans from Hanhan at the beginning, and now it can be regarded as a favor...... Li Qing was moved by herself: Hanhan, don't say that I don't do anything with money.
