Datang first village

Seeing that the new year is coming, the temperature on this island has also dropped, and the sea water on the beach is not so comfortable anymore.

Li Yuanxing sat on the beach alone and flipped through the map.

"Your Highness, General Qin Qiong has returned to Chang'an. The Tianying Pavilion has already discussed the form of elite soldiers. They think it can be tried in some unimportant counties and counties. Shannan Road was selected!" Pei Xi reported beside him.

Li Yuanxing just thanked him, but didn't speak.

"Yuan Xing, it seems that Chinese New Year is coming soon?" The cabinet master came to the shore from the boat in a boat.

"I don't want to go home!" Li Yuanxing replied directly.

"I don't want to go home, where do you want to go?" The cabinet master didn't react for a while.

Li Yuanxing pointed at the map: "How about going around Guam, anyway, to avoid the time of passing the customs. It's not bad to go back to Chang'an during the spring plowing, at least you can avoid many things."

"It seems good!" The cabinet master smiled and nodded.

From what Pei Xi heard, it was His Royal Highness King Qin who planned to avoid those dignitaries. During the Chinese New Year, not only the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, but all the dignitaries attached to the Tang Dynasty will come to Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, an invitation to a banquet for the Lantern Festival in the Palace of the King of Qin was copied for a thousand coins on the black market, and there was no market for it.

As a soldier, it’s nothing to spend New Year’s Eve outside?

Pei Xi didn't have much resentment in her heart, anyway, they only got together at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But the cabinet master knew that Li Yuanxing was hiding a woman.

First of all, Silla and Baekje were determined to marry a royal woman into Prince Qin's mansion, and they would not be quiet during the Chinese New Year.

Then there is Li Yuanxing hiding from his seven princesses.

Even though the seven children can't walk yet.But these seven little guys are real princes.The seven princesses were not so harmonious before, they were fighting, and they were fighting fiercely.

Those who teamed up with Li Chengqian and those who teamed up with Li Ke.There are also those who teamed up with Li Daozong, and the Cui family who have recruited more than a dozen second-rate families and are planning to do something big in Australia. Why didn't they find out before that these guys' ambitions are really not small.Li Er seemed to like to see this kind of struggle, because the only one who benefited from this kind of struggle was him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the real Chinese New Year will not be counted until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

The concubines of Qin who are noble enough naturally don't need to make hard preparations for the New Year.Eating hot pot around the stove.Talking about some nonsense nonsense.

"Let's play mahjong!" Zheng Xiuyan said suddenly.

"In mahjong, seven people can only compete at one table, and the other table is short of one person." Wang Yuyan teased the child, and said to Zheng Xiuyan with a smile: "Say it. Who won't play."

"Sister Lanyue, please fight together." Zheng Xiuyan said.

It seemed like a good idea.Now Cui Yingying and Li Changying went to find Li Lanshan in person.

At this moment, Li Lanshan is calculating the benefits that Wa Dao can get in Li Yuanxing's study.In addition to the silver mine, Li Lanshan is more interested in turning Wajima into a super big mulberry field.Then get out [-]% of the people in Wajima, then only the annual raw silk production of Wajima.It can even reach the same amount of raw silk as Datang now.

It's just that this requires detailed planning and a discussion with the Tang emperor.

Li Yuanxing didn't come back, so Li Lanshan decided to make a good plan, and then he could get started as soon as Li Yuanxing came back.

When Cui Yingying came in, Li Lanshan didn't evade what she was doing, Yuan Chun and the girls hurriedly saluted Cui Yingying and brought chairs.

"Sister Lanyue is still busy, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so she should take a break."

"For the sake of 3000 million yuan, it is worth doing a favor. Wajima does not grow grain, but changes it to mulberry trees. All the grain of Wajima has been transported from Nanyang, so if they want to rebel, they must have grain. And if they plant all mulberry trees , just like raw silk, can bring 3000 million benefits to Datang."

Cui Yingying couldn't help but say a word of convincing in her heart.

Li Lanshan's eyesight and thoughts are not comparable to them, but fortunately Li Lanshan will not compete with them.Although Li Lanshan's son is also a prince, he has no fief and wants nothing.And it has been declared long ago that everything in Prince Qin's Mansion is left to Datang, and no one will inherit it.

Although Cui Yingying and others never understood, what did Li Lanshan leave for her son?

But this did not affect their admiration for Li Lanshan.

"Let's go! Let's go to mahjong, let's set up eight tables today."

Li Lanshan was just joking, but the seven princesses of Qin didn't think it was a joke.

Eight tables is too exaggerated, but four tables are no problem.Each of the seven princesses of Qin chose a personal maid, and Li Lanshan chose Yuan Chun to represent herself. Although Li Lanshan's personal maid was good, she couldn't help Li Lanshan except for work, so Li Lanshan gave it to Wu Zhao and asked for Yuan Chun. She and Qiulan became her maids.

Wu Zhao is still in Yaozhou at this moment, and I'm afraid it will be the 29th of the twelfth lunar month if he rushes back.

"Do you dare to bet a little bit higher? If it's always double the money, you won't be a bit nervous in the fight." Li Liyuan didn't open her mouth all the time, and this opening was powerful.

"I'll accompany you no matter how old you are." Li Changying stood up and was about to ask the maid to bring the money box.But Cui Yanyan said at this time: "Sister Lanyue said that if you grow mulberry trees in Wadao, why don't you let the girl next to me bet on mulberry trees one by one!"

The mulberry trees in Datang are all big mulberry trees. In order to ensure fertility, there are only sixty trees per mu.

If you lose Mulberry, you can't make up the land money.

Datang's mahjong has a maximum of [-] fan, that is, big three yuan, big four happiness and other big cards, and then you can raise three cannons, then the biggest bet is [-] mulberry trees, which is almost four acres of mulberry fields.It really is a big bet.

"Just follow this." None of the concubines showed weakness.

Li Lanshan felt it was funny, so she just smiled in her heart.

The most worthwhile investment in Datang is the raw silk industry.Not to mention selling it in the Western Regions, the supply in the Tang Dynasty was in short supply, and even ordinary people wanted to wear silk, let alone high-ranking officials.

Otherwise, Li Lanshan would not have moved the minds of the people of Wa Island to plant mulberries.

Li Lanshan can afford to lose. Although Wajima hasn't started planting yet, there are millions of mulberry trees now, right there in Izumo.

Li Liyuan and Cui Yingying are definitely the closest. Li Liyuan was overwhelmed, and Cui Yingying naturally wanted to help her out. At this moment, she said: "The girl has already bet with mulberry trees. Why don't we have something more exciting. Betting on tonnage!"

Hiss... Li Lanshan gasped.

The entire shipbuilding industry in Datang is now privately owned, including coastal small boats and inland river boats, but sea-going ships are under the name of the Datang Ministry of Industry, but in fact they are controlled by the Qin Palace.

Last year's maximum output has been reported, only 27 tons a year.

And the main production is 43 craftsmen, a 170-ton armed merchant ship every three months, and a [-]-ton pure merchant ship every [-] days.The production cycle of large ships is long and the process is complicated.The output of [-]-ton class last year was [-] three, which are Dandong, Weihai, Yizhou, Huating, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Yalong Bay.There are a total of fourteen large and small shipyards with full production capacity.

Divided into seven princesses, there are only [-] tons.

[-] tons per person, such a gamble, it is very likely that all the tonnage in one person's hands will be exchanged for another person's hands in two days, and this gamble is too big.

But the seven princesses didn't want any of them.

"Don't add more guns!" Li Lanshan persuaded, and the seven princesses also went down the donkey.

Betting on the tonnage, one ton per game, will make people nervous without guns. You must know that [-] tons is a ship.Each of them has only two [-]-ton armed merchant ships and one [-]-ton small boat, and the extra [-] tons can be saved for next year.

"Sister Lanyue hasn't been assigned a tonnage, why don't you ask His Highness for it?" Zheng Xiuyan said beside her.

"That's right, send a telegram!" Wang Yuyan also said.

Send a telegram?Send it to Li Yuanxing?

Li Lanshan couldn't stand being encouraged by the seven princesses, so she got up and went to the telegraph office.

Soon, Li Lanshan came back with a note in her hand: "Don't ask me what the result is. It's just that Li Yuanxing asked me why I was fighting at home. So I sent a telegram to the emperor's wife and asked her if she could play mahjong and bet on tonnage. And I also released a message, Mingyue said that the total output will quadruple next year, because one of the five major shipyards in Wadao is already available. The new shipyard in Huating is also available, Guangzhou, Palembang, Malacca, Haiya There are a total of seven shipyards that can start shipbuilding in the spring, so why do you want to gamble with your own family!"

Four times, that's more than 100 million tons of production.

Cui Yingying was moved: "My younger sister married into the Xiao family, let me see if she dares to bet."

Before the seven princesses of Qin went out, they did not forget to tell their maids: "Play cards with your heart, the mulberry tree is also very important."

On the ship, Li Yuanxing stood on the deck with a cigarette in his mouth: "Grandpa, I am more and more aware that I am wise. Fortunately, I didn't go back, otherwise, if I was here, it would not be so lively. I was still worrying about the amount of shipbuilding. As for how to distribute the tonnage, these aristocratic families are not short of money, and a sea-going ship will pay back its capital in two months based on the current profit."

"Let's gamble, this is really a big gamble!" The cabinet master thought that the current selling price of a 2000-ton sea-going ship would be more than [-] yuan.One round is four pennies.

But on second thought, it's not about money.

It is the right to control the trade channel. Whoever has more ships has the right to speak on trade.

"It's better to set up a marine engineering school, maybe next year we can bet on the number of workers recruited!" Li Yuanxing said suddenly.

After the cabinet master was stunned for a moment, he laughed loudly.

Datang people like to gamble, but they never gamble on those ripe fruits, they gamble only on opportunities.

Whether it is a sea-going ship or a mulberry tree, they are all betting on the most critical part of the profit chain. Whoever controls these controls the commercial chain. . )
