Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 692 Introduction to Expansion

If the people from the countries of the Western Regions are rich, then Tang Fengyi would not mind mobilizing other large shareholders of Datang to also sell. After two splits, the Overseas Exploration and Investment Company has a total of 400 million shares. Calculated at a price of more than 30 yuan, it would take more than 7 million yuan to buy all of them. Moreover, even if they bought them all, the imperial court would still hold half of the shares and have the absolute right to speak.

More than 7 million yuan, that is one-third of the deposits of the Tang Dynasty, enough to hurt all the countries in the Western Regions. Judging from the current world economic aggregate, even the Byzantine Empire will never have enough money to spend. More than [-] million strings, which is equivalent to the level of Datang a few years ago.

And as those who paid high prices repeatedly bought some stocks, the stock price of Overseas Exploration Investment Co., Ltd. has also risen in a straight line as many parties continue to raise prices. These red-eyed guys are no longer trading like before. The big Tang tycoons in the hall bid so moderately. Adding a few or a few tens of pennies can't satisfy their intention to stop and deal with it. It has become the norm to directly add five hundred pennies. In half an hour, the unit price rose to forty guan.

However, some time ago, the shareholders of Datang, who were used to seeing the stock price of overseas exploration companies double and rise, were not moved by it. Today, it has risen from 23 to [-], and it has not doubled. reached it!They are not in a hurry to sell at all. God knows how far this price will rise. Anyway, they only need to continue to hold the stock, and they will be able to pay dividends in the future. Its actual significance is no longer its market value, but It can pay dividends in this feature.

Everyone is not stupid, who would be willing to sell a chicken that keeps laying golden eggs for itself.

The trading center only opened for two hours a day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. By the end of the afternoon, Tang Fengyi had sold a total of 20 shares at an average price of around 37 pennies, earning more than seven million pennies.

And after closing the market, it doesn't mean that Ma Zhou and Tang Fengyi are off work. The 20 shares are scattered in the hands of more than a dozen kingdoms. It's just that Heraclius has a little more shares and bought [-] shares. , After calculating the total amount of money in the hands of those who bought the shares, the two of them reported to Li Chengqian's office building in Daming Palace.

"His Royal Highness, our plan has worked. In just one afternoon, we took more than 700 million coins out of their hands. If we announce the specific news that His Majesty tried new crops at Jiangling Wharf and more new crops, then I'm sure, tomorrow, I will be able to take out all the money left in their hands, and we don't need so many shares that we need to sell." Tang Fengyi took the lead in reporting.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and praised, "You have done a very good job, but if we only spend tens of millions from them, can it have an impact on their domestic economy?"

Tang Fengyi shook his head and said, "No, based on the economic size of their countries, at least two or three hundred million yuan will be needed to have an obvious effect. Therefore, we still need to have a next step plan."

Li Chengqian asked, "What plan?"

Tang Fengyi smiled and replied, "Of course it is a mortgage loan to them, and let them use the purchased shares as collateral."

"Mortgage loan to them?"

Hearing Tang Fengyi's suggestion, Li Chengqian frowned first, and then immediately figured it out.

The Overseas Exploration and Investment Company is here, and others cannot move it or take it away, so I lent them money to buy stocks. In fact, Datang just moved the money from the left pocket to the right pocket.

And although they will get a lot of stocks in overseas exploration and investment companies, they will owe Datang a huge loan. When Datang borrowed money, the stocks used as collateral would be directly used to repay the debt. Not to mention the money they had already bought for the stocks, they would still owe Datang a large debt in name.

This is a gimmick using new species to launch an economic war against the countries in the Western Regions. Before they realized that the war had begun, Datang had already begun to earn real benefits, which greatly weakened their economic strength. , exacerbating their internal chaos.

Who told this crop with a yield of [-] jins to be so attractive to them!
It's a pity that the number of new crops is limited, so they have to be used for planting. Otherwise, Li Chengqian will definitely use these new crops to entertain them at tomorrow's dinner party, making them even more inferior to the temptation.

"As soon as the news in the newspaper is published, I am sure that tomorrow I will spend all the money they brought over in the trading center, and His Royal Highness can reveal at tomorrow's dinner party that Datang can provide them with a certain amount of mortgage As for the news about the loan, and how to borrow the loan, just let them come to discuss with the minister." Tang Fengyi said with confidence.

"Very well, everything will be done according to your plan. If this is done, the difficulty of our Great Tang's expansion to the Western Regions will be reduced by at least [-]%." Li Chengqian finally made a decision.

Countries in the Western Regions have actually been greatly influenced by Datang in recent years, because their imports from Datang are far greater than their exports, and what they buy back are all consumables, while what they sell to Datang is Some non-renewable resources, as money continues to flow into Datang, they have begun to experience a certain degree of money shortage. Those rich and middle class, because their expenses are increasing day by day, do not have the opportunity to increase their income. Channels, there will be a lot of dissatisfaction, of course, this kind of dissatisfaction is not aimed at Datang, who brought them exquisite goods, but at their rulers.

Because their rulers not only did not make a difference in this matter, but also want to use a larger amount of goods produced by Datang, and therefore, they need more money, so they will continue to increase various taxes, The poor have no money even if they are stripped naked, so they have no choice but to compete with the rich and powerful in their own country, which will greatly reduce their domestic stability index.

There is a reason why the wealthy class in every country is rich. They are all classes that have mastered certain resources and power. The blame can only be blamed on Datang’s products, which are too much needed by them, because they design and build these products The most famous person is Sun Xiangfu from later generations. He just uses a relatively bad marketing strategy of later generations to design and manufacture products, that is "to be needed", as long as the things made by Datang are what others need , then the benefits will naturally flow into Datang continuously.

There are many other factors. For example, a large number of rich people from the Western Regions immigrated to the Tang Dynasty, which also exacerbated the increase of their domestic instability. This is also a relatively stable political environment in the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively stable and free from war. Life, an expression demanded by these wealthy people.

Therefore, the cause of their chaos has already been buried. When their rulers extend the means of exploitation to the lowest level of civilians, the chaos will completely break out. At that time, they will have the means to bring all the people a comfortable life. The best moment for Datang to make a move.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian sang the double reeds for several years, just to set up this game, and this game, when the new species arrived in Datang and the high-yield gimmick came out, Ma Zhou and Tang Fengyi seized the opportunity and made it more perfect.

And when these high-yield crops are actually planted, Datang will no longer be afraid to feed more people. When the economic strength, military strength, survival necessary material reserves, etc. are fully prepared, expansion will be the only way to expand. It will become overwhelming.

When Li Chengqian was running this series of shocking plans in Chang'an, Shannan Road was not idle. Sun Xiaomei and Zhao He had already become celebrities, and various new crops suitable for planting in the south were under the rule of Yingzhou. In the newly opened embankment, it was planted.

"Hey, don't underestimate this shrimp. The head said that with it, at least it can help you drive the economy of a county with a large population. If the head didn't designate you to use the territory of Qianjiang County under your rule to feed it If so, I would be reluctant to give it to you!" After Li Ke disinfected a large fish pond in Qianjiang County with lime according to Zhao He's opinion, Zhao He reluctantly came to check the water quality.

Li Ke looked at the buckets of crayfish, and said a little depressed, "But, you want me to dig more than half of the land in the entire county into a pond, and, like this pond, use lime water to disinfect and clean it. It's too big! Qianjiang County is not as small as Jiuyuan County."

Qianjiang is in later generations, but it has more than 2000 square kilometers and has been upgraded to a city. The reason why it appeared in this period is that after the restoration of Yingzhou, Changsun Wuji took the Han River as a potential because of the rivers in its territory to divert the Han River. It means that it was named Qianjiang County.

Of course, it was named so in the Song Dynasty in history, and the reason why Changsun Wuji planned it this way is naturally because Sun Xiangfu planned this independent area when he divided the field area.

The main area of ​​Qianjiang County today is around the Benghu Lake in Anyuan Town. This area can just be surrounded by a large embankment and formed into a separate county, which will be well managed in the future. Moreover, Anyuan Town has many rivers. Interlaced, well-developed waterways, more than a thousand households living in the local area, and the basis for establishing a county government, Changsun Wuji planned it this way.

It is not as big as Qianjiang in later generations, because its eastern location belongs to Jingling County, Fuzhou, but it also covers about 200 square kilometers. If one square kilometer is calculated by the number of acres of fields in later generations, it is 90 Even if only half of the [-]-mu land, [-] square kilometers, is developed into ponds for raising shrimps, more than [-] mu of ponds will be dug, which is almost as large as the entire Jiuyuan County. , directly made Li Ke a little dizzy.

"Why, do you think these shrimps are worthless? Let me tell you! Just these few hundred crayfish, as long as they are given enough food, it only takes two or three years to breed, and they can take up all the ponds in your entire county. Full, when the time comes, there will be inexhaustible and inexhaustible shrimps. These shrimp meat can be eaten by humans. These shrimp shells are the best feed for chickens and ducks. With them, you can feed the whole Shannan Province. The domestic chicken and duck farming industry provides concentrated feed, which is a steady stream of income. By the way, didn’t you take over more than 50 Tammo laborers, and sent them over to use double-winged plows to scrape the soil over and over again. , It doesn’t take much effort to dig a pond.”

"Okay, I'll dig, I hope what you said is true." Li Ke said as he poured the buckets of crayfish into the pond that was several acres in size.

With 50 people digging a pond of about 100 million mu, the average person only needs to dig two mu of ponds, but even with a soil-cutting artifact like the double-winged mud, if you want to rely on manpower and livestock to dig a two-mu pond to It is very difficult to dig more than one meter deep, because the deeper it is, the more difficult it is to dig. In the Jianghan Plain area, usually half a meter deep is dug, and water will come out. At the beginning of the soil layer, cattle can still be used. After half a meter, you can only rely on a shovel.

It takes at least two months to dig by manpower to meet the standard. In more than two months, if these people are used to build the plow, at least half of the county can be built, and half the county can be used to complete the construction. Li Ke always felt a bit at a loss in exchange for a pond of about 100 million mu in exchange for the embankment project. He felt that it would be better to directly use the clam lake to raise these crayfish, but it was a little more troublesome when fishing.

Sun Xiangfu, who came from later generations, has always paid more attention to food safety. He naturally hopes that everyone can eat at ease. Moreover, he wants to control the wild breeding of crayfish as much as possible, so as not to overeat, cause disasters, and affect the ecology.

Therefore, even if it is more troublesome now, he also told Zhao He that he must do a good job. After all, it is impossible to sterilize a living water lake now, and predating a large number of wild ones is easy to eat bad stomachs. With the current medical level, Parasites are not so easy to deal with.

Seeing those crayfish that had been fed in buckets for half a year come down to the pond, Zhao He felt relieved. These crayfish have been raised in buckets for such a long time, and after many rounds of washing with clean water, it is almost impossible for them to have any parasites. , can be regarded as a good breed with relatively strong vitality!
However, his current task is not to teach Li Ke to feed crayfish, but to plant new crops. Li Shimin intends to use these new crops to entertain guests on a large scale during the sports meeting.
