Datang first village

What is in the wooden box?

A few pieces of cloth, a few vials, two smaller wooden boxes, and then some paper, and a photo.

"Where is this?" Cui clan chief asked.

"This king calls it cotton, which is different from kapok. It is grass cotton. One mu of land can produce about three dans. It can be said that the whole plant is a treasure and can be used. It's just that the technology needs to be further developed. Datang estimates two or three Years later, you can get huge profits from this thing. No less than the huge profits of silk!"

The patriarch of the Cui clan picked up the pieces of cloth and touched each piece: "It should be very comfortable to wear next to your body in winter!"

"Cottonseed oil is also a good thing. The oil-pressed seed dregs can make horses stronger, and it can also be used as medicine. Cotton stalks are high-grade raw materials for papermaking. As many cotton husks as you want, you can grow Ganoderma lucidum!" Li Yuanxing is not worried. As he spoke slowly, the Cui Clan Chief's hands trembled a little, and he picked up a few pieces of paper in the wooden box and began to read.

In fact, cotton husks are a good thing for growing mushrooms. Li Yuanxing's statement that it is Ganoderma lucidum is naturally exaggerated.

But when it comes to edible fungi, the patriarch of the Cui clan must not understand.

"North and south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are 500 million mu of land suitable for planting this thing!" After reading the geographical location with the reading glasses given by Li Yuanxing, the patriarch Cui frightened him by the huge number of 500 million mu.

"There is no way to grow grain there, and the harvest is not very good. Hebei can also grow some, but it is a waste of land, which is far less practical than growing grain. Therefore, this king believes that the north and south of Tianshan Mountain are the most suitable places. The Turks are in control, but this king will naturally choose elite soldiers to garrison a place as a deterrent!"

Before Li Yuanxing finished speaking, the Cui clan chief laughed.

"Your Highness, sheep can eat people. The East Turks will be swallowed by my Tang Dynasty one by one as wool. I am afraid that the West Turks will also be destroyed on this cotton. I am convinced!"

Li Yuanxing said a few words politely, and continued: "It's just that the number of this kind is still small at the moment."

"It's better to open up 500 mu of land in Hebei. As a farm, the Li family in Longxi is not enough to swallow this matter. If it is 300 million mu, even one tenth of it, according to what His Highness said, it will have a gross output of 300 yuan a year. Ten thousand dan, but I don’t know what the ratio is?” Cui’s patriarch wanted to say, [-] million dan, your Longxi Li family would dare to eat it.

Li Yuanxing opened several small wooden boxes inside, which were pure cotton, cotton shells, a few sheets of paper, and then cotton seeds.

"One hundred tans of wool cotton has forty tans of shells and ten tans of seeds. This is the paper made from cotton stalks. If there are [-] tans of wool cotton, there are at least [-] tans of cotton stalks that can be used to make paper."

Li Yuanxing's sample papers were all made by Qin Wangzhuang Paper Workshop.

Naturally, the color is not as pure white as the later generations, and it is more or less yellowish, but compared with Datang's paper, it has made great progress. Li Yuanxing believes that as long as the craftsmanship is passed on, within a few years, Datang's paper Paper is sure to reach a whole new level.

It is even possible to manufacture your own printer paper.

"Your Highness is really clever, I have learned a lot from His Highness. Just this thing, Your Highness's way of using this thing to the extreme. Presumably it is the same for many other things. This method has benefited me a lot!" After finishing speaking, Cui Clan Chief Li Yuanxing got up and gave a salute, Li Yuanxing quickly returned the salute, and asked the chief of the Cui clan to sit down again.

After sitting down, the patriarch of the Cui clan said: "Although the real benefit of this matter will be a few years later, it is not something the Li clan of Longxi can eat. I, the Cui clan of Qinghe, have the cheek to take this share, and I am willing to trade the study with the newspaper. Divide [-]% of the cotton, and then bring in the Zheng family to jointly manage the cotton business, and finally distribute [-]% of the cotton to the other four families, and we naturally dare not monopolize the weaving business!"

so fast!

Just after speaking, the old patriarch of the Cui clan came up with a plan for the Seventh Family's profit distribution.

Older gingers are more spicy!

Li Yuanxing would also like to say a convincing word. He has been thinking about designing the distribution of benefits for the Seventh Family for many days, and he just needs to make another data model.

And the old patriarch of the Cui clan came up with an initial plan in a few words.

Of course, some details will definitely change again, but the general direction does have merits in Li Yuanxing's opinion.

Since the old ginger is still very spicy, Li Yuanxing doesn't intend to waste his brainpower anymore.

"How to divide the interests of the Northeast?" Li Yuanxing asked directly.

The patriarch of the Cui clan did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Your Highness must take out half of the cattle, otherwise this will not be able to be divided. Even if there is a large piece of fertile land there, sow the seeds and there will be a harvest. But there is no cattle, where The benefits will be reduced by more than half, so His Highness must divide the cattle in half!"

"Okay, it's okay for me to pay [-]%!"

"Since His Highness is so magnanimous, the distribution will be much easier. Taiyuan Wang gave up [-]% of Shanxi's coal industry, of which [-]% belonged to the imperial court and [-]% belonged to the royal family. Within [-] miles around Chang'an, the coal industry The Seventh Family of Industry will absolutely not intervene, and all will be assigned by His Highness!"

The patriarch of the Cui clan is full of confidence.

In fact, before he came, he had made a detailed calculation, how much the Seventh Family would share, and how much would be given to the Qin Palace, he already had a plan, and he also guessed how much he would care.

"It's feasible!" Li Yuanxing agreed to the plan without a second word.

"For the matter of slaves, Your Highness will give you a number, and please give priority to His Highness!" This time, the Seventh Family made a huge concession. You must know that it will be difficult to find tenant farmers in the future, unless the King Qin's farm can be supported by a huge high yield. Otherwise, it is far more practical than using slaves.

Therefore, the Seventh Family also needs slaves.

When it comes to slaves, Li Yuanxing also put forward his own request: "This king must be selected first, and at least one thousand soldiers must be selected every year. This king will use it highly, and the craftsmen will be five hundred, and the increase will be increased proportionally."

"According to His Highness!"

Neither are children, nor are they small businessmen. What is allocated here can actually be said to be national interests.

Bargaining rarely occurs, and even if there is a negotiation, it is still an exchange of interests.

Li Yuanxing went on to put forward: "The king has two more requirements. The first is road construction, which is also beneficial to you. The second is grain. There must be enough grain stored in Pingzhou. The general of Pingzhou is Chai Shao. Civil servants, you recommend it."

The patriarch of the Cui clan nodded, this one is the balance.

"There are still two businesses, and I will finish it at once. Let's talk about wool first. The Seventh Family can only occupy 500 million wool. In the future, there will be unlimited purchases, so it is not too late to re-discuss. Right now, it is 500 million, no more. Sheep Regarding the milk business, the head of the Seventh Family should not cling to it, and tell the people below that the business of Chang’an City is taken by me.” Li Yuanxing didn’t give any reason.

As King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't need to understand.

The patriarch of the Cui clan would not ask, he knew very well that Li Yuanxing needed money, and the amount was far greater than the total demand of any aristocratic family.

Li Yuanxing had so many wounded soldiers to support, and had to build four more guards, and the household department would not pay a single copper coin.

This number is astronomical.

"The business is over, let's talk about two business matters!" Li Yuanxing felt that it was very easy to talk with the chief of the Cui clan.The other party knows how to balance the interests, whether it is the interests of the Seventh Family, the royal family, or the Qin Palace.

This time it was the Cui Clan Chief who poured tea for Li Yuanxing, and the Cui Clan Chief poured the tea and said: "Your Highness, tell me everything!"

"The first one, I will let the Ministry of Finance have a large amount of income. The Ministry of Accounting cannot be moved, and must be left to the king. The king said that Chang'an Bashui will be rectified, Chang'an Bahui will be repaired, and another one will be repaired." Ringing the Chang'an Canal, the amount of money needed is an astronomical figure, and this sum of money is enough to start the first year, so the Ministry of Households cannot move!"

Chang'an Bashui, the patriarch of the Cui clan naturally knows that there have been rivers since ancient times.

"Your Highness, is this Bahui?" Cui's patriarch asked suspiciously.

"Eight benefiting canals will be completed within five years, ensuring good weather and good weather for 2000 miles around Chang'an. It has more than 160 million mu of fertile land. Among them, the east of Chang'an and the Weibei Plain will create a large granary in Guanzhong, which will be completed within three years. Around the Chang'an Canal, the total length is [-] miles." Li Yuanxing finished speaking in one breath, and took a sip of tea.

The patriarch of the Cui clan asked again: "Your Highness, the canal around Chang'an, in terms of length, is probably not close to Chang'an City!"

"This is the moat of New Chang'an City!"

New Chang'an.

The patriarch of the Cui clan thought of a rumor that when King Qin of the Great Tang Dynasty saw Chang'an City for the first time, he shouted, "The best city in the world." With a length of 160 miles, this is just a moat, so how big will Chang'an City be.

"1000 million mu, the largest city in the world." Li Yuanxing himself was a little intoxicated.

The patriarch of the Cui clan shook his head lightly, let alone ten years, even 30 years would be difficult to complete.

However, he would not speak out against this kind of thing, and no one in the world would object. Even the most troublesome censors would not dare to raise objections.

Of course, if such a city can really be built in ten years.

The patriarch of the Cui clan stood up and smiled at Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, although I can't believe that Your Highness can build this giant city, I hope to see it alive. Even if it's only half of the city wall, I can still smile. Rest in peace."

"Ten years, I know it's difficult, but one must always have a goal!"

"What a goal, Your Highness is worthy of the title of King of Qin!" Cui clan leader stretched out his right hand after finishing speaking, "I would like to make an agreement with His Highness. On the issue of dealing with foreign countries, the Seventh Family and His Highness are of the same heart. The internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty must be with His Highness." There is a dispute, it is not for personal interests, so we cannot back down!"

Li Yuanxing reached out and clapped Cui's patriarch in the air: "The king is waiting!"

The patriarch of the Cui clan left, and before leaving, he told Li Yuanxing that the Li clan in Longxi would either increase the dowry, or give [-]% of the profit to the Qin Palace in the first three years after the cotton profit.Li Yuanxing nodded with a smile. Li Yuanxing didn't want to think about what happened three years later, it was too far away. (To be continued.)
