Age of mythical princes

Chapter 195 Roll up!roll up!
Pang Juan was buying Xuanjia, weapons, and magic discs, and Li Kui was also brought by Xiao He to visit various production and living magic tools.

"Hanoi County is so big, there is so much land that can be reclaimed, it's not easy to cultivate."

"If you rely solely on manpower, you need at least 800 million people. Today's Hanoi County has a total population of just over 100 million, and most of them are still in the hands of nobles. Even if you work hard to acquire all the fields, there is not enough manpower. to plow."

"And if you rely on cattle, the number of cattle you need is also huge. If you put in [-] cattle, you will hear a sound, and if you put in a million cattle, you will see a significant effect."

"However, many people don't know how to raise cattle at all, let alone millions of cattle?"

Li Kui nodded slightly, Xiao He was telling the truth: "That's why I came to Yancheng, Dongning Island should be able to solve these problems, right?"

Now there are ten counties in Yancheng, and the total population has almost reached 900 million, with an average population of only 90 per county.

I really can't solve this problem, but Yancheng has a smaller population, and the average amount of land that each person needs to cultivate may be more, so how does Yancheng solve this problem?

Xiao He nodded slightly: "Yancheng has indeed been studying this issue for a long time, and then I will take Brother Dao for a walk around, to go and have a look for myself."

Immediately, the two drove away on the cloud, and after a while, the cloud descended and came near a certain village.

Along the way, people kept looking up at the two of them. Li Kui alone felt dozens of gazes. Immediately, he had a clear understanding of the power on Dongning Island: Dongning The island cannot be offended, nor can it be defeated.

"This village was only opened up this spring. Fortunately, it caught up with the spring plowing. Now the whole village has reclaimed about 490 mu of land. The whole village has a total of [-] people, close to [-] people."

"However, among the 500 people, there are about 70 strong men who are not in the village. There are also 30 people who have formed a village patrol team to patrol the village for a radius of [-] miles every day. So, in fact Most of the time, there are about four hundred people in the village.”

"There are 60 people who are going to school in the elementary school. If you remove a few infants and young children, and remove a few who are too old to do heavy work, the number of people who actually work every day is about [-]."

"There are 300 people, but there are as many as [-] mu of arable land, and an average of [-] mu per person. Even if they are exhausted, they can't do it."

Hearing this, Li Kui nodded seriously: "I have done a lot of research on the journals published in Yancheng. I have carefully read many types of journals more than once. Some even practiced it myself, and I really benefited a lot. .”

After recalling a few breaths, Li Kui continued: "There is also a periodical in Yancheng's agricultural sector. This periodical is devoted to all kinds of advanced and practical farming knowledge. It is called Agricultural Book. This agricultural book is published every ten days. , I have carefully studied each issue and read it more than once. Now, when I close my eyes, I can recall every volume of agricultural books I have read in my mind."

"Yancheng, encourage Chinese people and alchemists to go to the fields to cultivate the land in person."

"Ordinary people only plant about ten acres of land a year after exhausting themselves. If the number of acres is more, intensive cultivation cannot be achieved. If one person is responsible for more than fifty acres of land, it may be simply sowing seeds, and the rest I don’t have the time or energy to invest in every mu of land.”

"The agricultural book says that if an ordinary person does not have high-quality agricultural tools made of steel, hoes, sickles, and shovels...then the number of acres cultivated by a person in a year may be less than seven acres."

"However, during the busy season of farming, especially harvesting, once the weather arrives, it only takes a few days. Once the time passes, the harvest will be seriously affected."

"The way in ordinary villages is to pay people to come over to help with the work, but here the average person has [-] mu of land, and the young men in the whole village are not in the village all the year round. This method will not work."

"As for the use of special large-scale farm tools by Chinese people, the fact that one person can plow hundreds or even hundreds of acres of land a year does not solve the difficult problem of ordinary people harvesting."

Xiao He nodded slightly, the Li Kui in front of him was a man capable of practical work: "What Brother Li said is true, the 300 mu of land is actually not something that [-] people in this area can farm, they are more Usually take a look to see if there is any problem, if there is, report it to the township immediately, and the township will solve the problem."

"Now Yancheng has created a series of relatively mature agricultural magic tools, from sowing to harvesting, from watering to pest control, there are many series of production and living magic tools."

Hearing this, Li Kui nodded again: "Indeed, there are many records in agricultural books."

"It's just that most of these records are relatively rough and not detailed enough. The third volume of the Agricultural Book once published a harvester that uses the aura of the earth. A small harvester can harvest three to five hundred acres of land in one day and one night. If it is a medium-sized harvester, it needs several alchemists to drive it, and it can harvest two thousand acres of land in one day and night.”

"It's a pity that I have only heard the name of this agricultural artifact. Although I always wanted to see it, I didn't have time to come to Dongning Island."

"Brother Li can read enough today. Everything above these agricultural books can be sold, and everything can be discussed."

When it was evening, Li Kui reluctantly withdrew his gaze, stepped on Xiangyun, and went to have dinner with Xiao He.

On the wine table, Xiao He poured wine for Li Kui: "Brother Li, calm down, there are better things waiting for you tonight."

Li Kui took Xiao He's poured wine with both hands and drank it all in one gulp, not caring about the taste: "I am in Qi Wenshao, and I don't know the taste of meat in March."

"Now I have been looking at the baby all afternoon, and now my mind is full of these agricultural equipment. The price has not been discussed yet. My heart is always in a state of turmoil, just like being scratched by a cat's paw, and I can't calm down at all. .”

Xiao He smiled and said, "These things are actually not expensive, and they can even be sold at cost."

"It's like a small harvester, which weighs thousands of kilograms and is made of steel. Some key parts are made of special metals, which are not easy to make."

"Moreover, there are Taoist runes drawn all over the body, and the runes used in different places are different. It looks very simple, but it is extremely complicated. It involves a lot of new knowledge. If you don't understand anything, the imitated agricultural equipment , the efficiency is very general.”

"Moreover, a small harvester can harvest three to five hundred acres of land in one day and night, and only one alchemist can control it. How much does Brother Li think this thing is worth?"

"Although this item is very good, we must also consider the benefits and costs."

"The yield per mu of one mu of land is only four stones. Even if this thing can harvest hundreds of acres of land a day and night, that is one or two thousand stones of grain. If the price is too expensive, I think the nobles would rather use slaves than slaves. of this thing."

"It costs money to use it, and it costs money to hire alchemists, but for many nobles, slaves don't cost money at all. If you're exhausted, go to the wild to catch savages. If you don't have enough manpower, go to the wild to catch savages. If there are too many dead, then go to the wild to catch more savages."

No matter how good your machine is, if the price is too high, the aristocrats will simply use the savage, and it will not be promoted at all!

This guy is so smart, it's hard to kill him!Xiao He thought silently.

"This object contains the painstaking efforts of many Taoists. The material alone costs thousands of catties of fine steel. This fine steel has always been sold by tael. One tael of fine steel is one hundred yuan. This thing is made of fine steel alone. The money is in the millions."

"If you add the Dao patterns engraved on the fine steel by the Taoists, and the magic weapon at the core, even the cost price will not be less than 1000 million yuan. Brother Li, you are a distinguished guest in Yancheng. If you are an outsider, The price of a small harvester will not be less than 2000 million yuan, and if I give it to you, brother Li, I will only charge 500 million yuan."

Hearing this, Li Kui shook his head again and again: "This is really too expensive. If it is so expensive, this item will never be sold. Now a slave is only tens of thousands of dollars in the market, and this item can already be bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars. a slave."

"Hundreds of slaves, it's no problem to cultivate thousands of acres of land. And the slaves can be reused, and they can be bought after they die."

"However, here is the cost of this item. The refined steel alone costs several thousand catties. One tael of refined steel costs one hundred yuan, and one catty of refined steel costs one thousand yuan. It can't be cheap."

"Two million yuan is a good number. If it is higher, it is really not worth it. I would rather use slaves than buy this thing."

"Two million? You can't even buy a hundred slaves!"

"As for catching savages, where do you go? Nowadays, many savages have become the wealth of the nobles, and they are all owned, and you can't catch too many."

"A hundred slaves, even if they are exhausted, can't stand up to this harvester. Moreover, if slaves are used as consumables, they will be exhausted in a few years. But this harvester, at least, can do 20 Years, the longer the time, the more you earn!"

"Let's do this, I'll give Hanoi County a reduction of 300 million yuan." As he spoke, Xiao He gave three thumbs up generously.

"No, no, I can't afford it at all, even if you sell it, I can't afford it!"

"Brother Xiao, I hit you off right away, so I'll tell you the truth."

"In my plan, at least 8000 million mu of land will be developed in Hanoi County."

"For the 8000 million mu of land, at least one small harvester must be purchased for 8000 mu of land. For the [-] million mu of land, that is [-] units. If the influence of terrain and other factors is considered, it may be necessary to purchase [-] small harvesters. "

"Besides, this small harvester has not been used on a large scale, whether it is useful, and how useful it is, you have to pull it out to find out."

"The most important thing is that Hanoi County is clearly advertising our Yancheng. The higher the agricultural income of Hanoi County next year, the higher the yield per mu, and the easier it is to harvest, the greater the reputation of our Yancheng will be. This is a living Ads."

"Moreover, our prefect is still the young master of the Wei family. If it is really effective, the prefect will definitely return to the Wei family to promote it. By then, it will no longer be a business of a small county in Hanoi County. Wei's own fief , there are more than 100 counties. When the Wei family adopts it, will the Han family, Zhao family, and Zhi family be far behind? Will the entire Jin country be far behind? Jin is also the largest country today. According to this order, everything goes smoothly If so, it may take less than a hundred years before this thing can be promoted to the whole world."

"What is this? This is destiny!"

"The destiny is right in front of you, so how can you influence or even delay Lord Yan's chance to obtain the destiny and become the first monarch or a congenital true person for a little money?"

"So, how about 300 million yuan for one?"

"No, no, this price is not enough even at the cost price! You dismantle the harvester and sell the steel, which is more than this amount!"

In fact, Yancheng's steel production has already exceeded the standard, and the small Yancheng, even the entire Nest Country, cannot digest it.

At this time, the price of steel should have dropped a long time ago, and it has even fallen to the price of cabbage internally, but the outside world is different!
In the vast majority of countries in the outside world, fine steel is still a scarce strategic resource, which can be used to make armor.No matter how many soldiers can wear armor made of pure steel, the main reason is that the production is insufficient, and even if they have money, they can't buy so many.

In the end, the two parties settled a deal at a price of 600 million units, but only [-] units were purchased in the first phase.You have to ask why, because there are relatively few lands under the name of the prefect's mansion, and it is justifiable to deal with those nobles.

After drinking and eating, Xiao He whispered: "Brother Li, have you heard of the mining series magic weapon?"

Li Kui immediately eliminated the alcohol smell on his body with Taoism, and nodded soberly.

"Do you want to buy some?"

"This mine is money!"

"Copper coins can be cast into copper coins when they are dug out. In today's world, the demand for copper coins is almost unlimited."

"There are also gold mines. One tael of gold sand is worth [-] yuan, and gold sand is still a good material. Many magic tools need gold sand."

"In addition, sterling silver is also very popular among Qi refiners."

"Any large-scale metal is liked by alchemists."

"This mine is not a mine at all, it's money!"

Li Kui had no choice but to nod his head. This time he was really taken care of, and it was hard to negotiate the price...

……

The next day, Xiao He and Wu Qi reported their achievements to Jiang Hua with a long list.

"My lord, Hanoi County purchased 300 sets of Xuanjia alone. During the conversation, they never concealed the fact that they trained yellow-level Taoist soldiers to fight against Taiping County. This time they purchased a total of about [-] billion yuan of military equipment. , when all these good things are transported over, the strength of the prefect of Hanoi County will immediately soar to the point of suppressing the nobles in the county."

"My lord, Hanoi County is very confident. The series of magic tools for agriculture, the series of mining tools, and many other types of magic tools for production and life have been sold for about 500 billion yuan. And they are very rich and powerful. Half of the deposit has been made, all high-purity sand, it can only be said that this financial resources are worthy of the son of the Wei family."

Jiang Hua looked at the list: "Find a chance and tell Taoist Taiping."

It's time for Taoist Taiping to work hard!
In order to make Taoist Taiping roll up, Jiang Hua also worked hard.
