Lu Ming's body trembled, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Three hundred thousand taels?"

"Yes, 300,000 taels" Ye Qing smiled reservedly, his expression was determined, and he said lightly: "But this 300,000 yuan is not a donation, but a field fund." ”

Lu Ming could no longer maintain his calmness, he was a steady and dignified official, how many squires were cramped in front of him, seeing Ye Qing talking like this, a trace of unhappiness flashed across his face

But after all, Lu Ming was very deep in the city, sat upright, took back this unhappy expression, and said quietly: "Xie Yuangong laughed, even if it is the cost of buying land from the government, it will also cost cash silver, 150,000 people in Pingshou County, and the tax revenue of agricultural and grain merchants is only 70,000 taels a year, and most of them must be handed over to the county and state, your Ye family has so much cash?"

"Even if your Ye family sells out of the Grange property, it's only this number, I can't see that Xie Yuangong is still a person who destroys his family and relieves difficulties. ”

He was a little angry when he said this, he was very disappointed that Ye Qing was laughing at this kind of time, and sneered in his heart: "Even if my family is a big family and has a living in two states, the total assets are only one million. ”

"No matter how thick the Ye family's savings are, it is just a small clan in the county, and it sounds better to say that it is a farming family, and it is a rich man in the countryside, and it is already the top of the sky to have 100,000 taels of silver, just this amount is still considering the recent rise of the Ye family winery in the county, there is oil and water to squeeze ......"

"The county lord probably thinks that I am talking nonsense" Ye Qing leaned over, and said solemnly: "My lord, you are underestimating me, I am a dignified state Xie Yuan, how can I be so frivolous and put this nonsense in front of you?"

"Even if I am Xie Yuan, but I have offended you, I am afraid that my family will not be able to have food and clothing in this Pingshou County, do you think I will be so unwise?"

Lu Ming listened, but he was stunned, and bowed slightly: "It's me who is reckless, Xie Yuangong, please speak." ”

"In previous years, the Ye family did not have such a large amount of cash, but recently the wine industry has expanded, and many enthusiastic scholars in the county have come to participate in the shares, so my family thinks that this business is the most taboo to eat alone, so they sold their shares, and sold twenty-five shares in these three days," Ye Qing said.

Lu Ming's face froze, the unhappiness that had flashed had disappeared, and he hadn't heard of this matter yet, so he asked, "Who is the buyer, how much silver is a share?"

"This county is the Zhou family, and the county is the Li family, the Qian family, the Zhang family, and the He family...... The price per share is 10,000 taels, and each family has a few shares" Ye Qing said lightly, turning 15,000 taels into 10,000 taels, but it was this price, these names, which suddenly made Lu Ming ooze cold sweat.

Twenty-five shares, 10,000 taels each, there are 250,000 taels.

These families can only be regarded as county-level households, and Lu Ming doesn't care about a single one, but together, let alone Lu Ming, even Taishou doesn't dare to act at will, the Ye family has so many families participating in the shares, and the strength of the force has suddenly changed qualitatively.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming immediately went to think about it, and his heart was a little abrupt.

However, he didn't believe in the nonsense of the "enthusiastic warriors" - who would pay real money if he didn't see the huge profits with his own eyes?

I heard that this wine method was inspired by Ye Qing from ancient books, and then as a family secret, I don't want to make so much profit, which is really enviable.

It seems that the Ye family is going to expand in Ye Qing's generation, and this is an important item under his own rule, involving the imperial court's control of land and performance evaluation......

Looking at Ye Qing, Lu Ming's tone couldn't help but be cautious: "Which piece does Duke Xie Yuan want to want? ”

"The official land worth 300,000 taels, don't think about the whole land in the east of the city, other good land is relatively divided, but it is also three times the price of a piece, it can be sold to you for 6,000 acres, and if you close your family 7,000 acres, there will be a total of 13,000 acres. ”

After a pause, Lu Ming's gaze was a little meaningful: "But it has crossed the red line of 10,000 mu, and I am afraid that the red house of your family will be improved."

You will say so

Ye Qing's heart shone slightly, and he was not surprised.

What is the concept of 10,000 acres?

In terms of one-year interest per mu alone, the world's way of law involves the weather and local climate, so that the efficiency and quality of crops per mu can be improved, but in terms of pure yield, it is far inferior to machine farming, fertilizer, hybridization, and fallow rotation in the previous life.

It is good to have an average of 4 stones of rice in an acre of fertile land, that is, 40 buckets, or 400 catties, and the official price is 4 taels of silver.

"Ten thousand acres is forty thousand taels of silver. ”

But Ye Qing can't plant 10,000 mu by himself, he still has to rent it out, collect rent in five or five years, and convert it into 20,000 taels of silver, maybe more, because he can go to other counties to exchange money, operate dots and labor consumption, and have 22,000 taels.

This amount of money is not much, it will take 25 years to return to the capital, the rate of return is outrageously low, but it is not worth the general wind and rain situation, there is no need to worry about the decline of craftsmen, business turmoil, all kinds of taxes and light and dark dots, this is the spring of resources passed down by the descendants, survived 25 years, a generation, and laid a solid foundation.

This is equivalent to a long-term basic investment, large cost and large return is not surprising, more worthy of attention is the population, 10,000 acres of land need thousands of adult men to cultivate, according to the middle family, a household of five and two men, that is, more than 500 farmers, 3,000 people, and then on this basis, can almost support double the population.

"Ten thousand acres, that is, 6,000 people. "That's actually breaking through the family of 5,000 people.

The Ye family originally had 3,000 acres of land, and the clansmen and the family had a total of 3,000 children, which was already a deep red house family, and adding another 6,000 on this basis was equivalent to creating two more Ye families, which meant that there were great vacancies, choices, and practice opportunities waiting for the Ye family's generation, which would definitely be able to train many elites, attract many foreign talents, and become the generation of ZTE.

For Jiage, relative to the floating profits, the attachment of people is a qualitative mutation

In fact, if it weren't for the Bow and Horse Honor in the troubled times, most of the county wang families would have started from this 10,000 mu mutation, whether it was Lu Ming or Ye Qing, they had read history books and knew very well that it was impossible to deceive and mislead by chance.

Ye Qing also disdained this

After thinking about it for a while, a servant girl came up to change the tea, and her posture was supple and beautiful, but it did not attract the attention of the two of them.

Lu Ming was not in a hurry to urge, he slowly took a sip of it, his expression seemed to be smiling, and he looked at Ye Qing in thought with interest, waiting for his answer.

Luckily, he didn't have to wait long.

"Lord Mingfu, Houxue has never intended to deceive, what he wants is to break through these 10,000 acres. Ye Qingzheng looked at Lu Ming, saw that he was not angry, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he directly revealed the mystery: "But what I want is not good land, but 10,000 acres of poor land within five miles of Nanlian Mountain in the north of my house." ”

"Wait...... Xie Yuan wouldn't think that these 10,000 acres could be transformed into fertile land, right?" Lu Ming's expression changed slightly, put down the teaglass, and looked at Ye Qing.

After thinking about it, out of some consideration, Lu Ming still explained kindly: "This is not an ordinary development of mountain fields, and the county chronicles are also for Xiucai to check above...... After the last time, all attempts were failures, so as to get the name of this evil land, there are good and evil in the qi, good and evil in the earth, as long as the underground spiritual veins do not move, any attempt is in vain, and the opposite consumes the vitality of the family. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, but I'm not farming...... I know very well that within five miles of this 10,000-mile barren land in Nanlian Mountain, I don't know how many people have tried to improve it in 500 years, but the results have failed.

"But you also know that the raw material of my family's brewing is sweet potatoes, although it doesn't cost a penny, how can there be so many wild potatoes in the mountains to dig?"

"Planted on the plains, take care of it, the yield per mu can be tripled, Nanlian Mountain is barren within five miles, and you can only plant these, please forgive the county."

"Wait" Lu Ming stretched out his hand to stop it, and a clear light flashed in his heart, but he couldn't catch it for a while, frowning and contemplating: "I know that this is the raw material of your family's new wine, and it really doesn't need fertile land to grow yams, and it can't support too many people, but isn't this worth the loss?"

The significance of the field industry is to stabilize the formation of a bumper harvest, and reproduce the population, spend a lot of money, plant some yams, and the virtual and unreal 10,000 acres, but only these?

Although Lu Ming didn't say this clearly, he believed that Ye Qing could hear it.

Ye Qing slowly took a sip of tea, and groaned in his heart, the Great Tribulation Transformation Blessed Land is top secret, but if you want to find a reasonable root for this essential purpose, it is not inexplicable.

It must be a dignified and upright statement to impress it

After thinking about it, he bowed his head: "This field is tired, and pure sweet potatoes can't support the population, but it also means output, which means the foundation of the earth." ”

He also explained slightly: "Yam potatoes are used as raw materials for liquor, and 10,000 mu is enough to support the expansion of the liquor industry to the whole county, or even a state...... The effect of the workshop, unlike farming can be slowly accumulated, the wine industry is a sudden outbreak, my family's talent is not enough to support, is to sell a small half of the shares to unify the contract, the key is not how many people my family has, but how much manpower my family can drive, then it is enough to make up for the popularity of 10,000 acres. ”

Lu Ming smiled, noncommittal, in fact, he can understand without explanation, this kind of practice of relying on the momentary momentum and momentary skills to try to make a detour to break through the family character has been seen at his level, but few of them have succeeded by luck, and the worst is to backfire and the family is broken, and the light is to return to the original shape, and the end is not very good.

Ye Qing's eyes were solemn, and his face did not change: "Of course, some people think that why buy this field and plant it themselves, and directly invest in the purchase of sweet potatoes, wouldn't it be more convenient and conducive to turnover?" But to be honest, Ye Qing didn't think that this winery could monopolize the technology for how long, and in the case of branding, sales and all of them working together, we must try our best to expand the production area alone, for which we invested 300,000 taels, and the output of 10,000 mu of land is enough to form a price monopoly on the whole county's potatoes, and it also has a leading bargaining advantage for the whole state, which guarantees the continued development of the winery after losing the monopoly. ”

Lu Ming's expression has become serious, this sounds feasible, and if it can ensure continuation, it can at least reduce the risk of failure by half.

Ye Qing saw it clearly, and smiled secretly in his heart, what he said borrowed from the penetration habits of the industrial chain to the upstream and downstream of the earth - the more downstream it is, the more popular it is, and the more it derives huge profit benefits, and the more upstream the industry, the more basic it is, and the product may be thin, but it contains huge social energy.

But fundamentally speaking, it is still a fool, 300,000 taels of silver to buy this wasteland to grow yars, and even he himself does not believe it
