Chapter 406 Goal, Wan Wan!
There was a lot of noise in the meeting hall, and the "boom" and "boom" were finally used by the old man in his 60s. The crutches hit the ground several times before everyone calmed down a little.

"What are you arguing about? Before the incident happened, you all started to mess up on your own." The old man turned his head to look at the Patriarch, "Patriarch, what exactly did Wang Xuan ask my Wei family to do?"

"I didn't say anything, I just sent a message to let my Patriarch go." Wei Patriarch sighed, he really didn't want to go, his eyes scanned the crowd, and he considered whether to let the Patriarch take the position now...

The meeting hall started to be noisy again.

"Dong dong dong!" The old man tapped the ground with his cane again, with a gloomy face, he was very dissatisfied with the family members, "Is it just my Wei family or are there other people?"

"I didn't ask about it. Well, Uncle Clan reminded me that I will arrange for people to go to several other houses to ask about it."

More than 20 people were sent out in one go, and all the families in Zhangzhou Prefecture who were able to stand up, the Wei family sent people to ask, and everyone waited here with a lot of worries, feeling that time passed so slowly, there was no sound in the hall, and no one was there. Talking mind.

More than half an hour later, people began to inquire one after another, and the news they brought back was different. Some said they had received the notification, and some said they had not received it. Finally, after everyone came back, Patriarch Wei found out that they had received the news. Those are only the four largest families in the city.

As for the smaller ones, they didn't know the news at all.

In this way, most of everyone's minds were put back in their stomachs, as long as it was not aimed at a family, since so many people were invited, there should be no danger.

……

The time Wang Xuan agreed with these families was ten days later. After all, the distances were far and near, and he didn't have the heart to receive them one by one, so he must set a unified time point.

After seven days, people arrived in Fuzhou Mansion one after another, some settled in the new city, some settled in the inner city, but without exception, they all visited Wang Xuan, but most of them were sent back.

After all, there were too many invitations, more than 40 families, if Wang Xuan could welcome all of them, then he wouldn't have to do anything else these days.

On the tenth day, Wang Xuan received everyone at the 'Linfeng Academy'. After all, there were too many people, and there really wasn't a suitable place for other occasions.

The four-wheeled carriages arrived, thanks to the large size of the academy, it was able to park so many carriages. This Linfeng Academy has been opened for more than a year. It can be said that everyone in Fujian knows everyone. It is open to all scholars, and there are extremely rich books in it, and you can borrow them at will, but you can't take them away.

There are at least a hundred scholars who come here every day, and it can be said that it is the largest gathering place for scholars in Fujian.

Of course, this place is also controlled by Wang Xuan, and some ideas that Wang Xuan needed began to form here, and affected every scholar who came here.

Various Patriarchs arrived one after another, some knew each other and some didn't. Although everyone was a top figure in the family, not all of them had met each other.

After all, this is ancient times, and the transportation is inconvenient. Even in the province, it takes more than ten days to go out. The transportation is too inconvenient.

Today is also a good thing for everyone. The heads of the major families who can only be said to have been close friends for a long time have gathered together today, and the exchange of greetings and exchanges with each other is very cordial.

After everyone had arrived for more than half an hour, someone suddenly shouted at the door of the lobby on the third floor: "Mr. Wuzhou is here!"

In an instant, the entire third floor was silent, and then there were bursts of murmurs. After all, most of the patriarchs had never seen this vicious Mr. Wuzhou Wang Xuan!

A melodious and solemn piano sounded, and Wang Xuan, dressed in white Hanfu, walked into the third-floor hall against the background of the BGM.

Suddenly, the whole hall fell silent.

Stepping in front of everyone, Wang Xuan stood still, his fierce eyes swept over everyone's faces, none of these powerful figures in the local area dared to look at Wang Xuan.

"Some people know me, some people don't know me, let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Xuan."

"Anyone who has come into contact with me knows my temper. I like to go straight when I speak and do things, and I don't like to waste time by beating around the bush. Today, all the heads of the major families who received my invitation in Fujian Province can all be present. I am very happy. Here, thank you everyone." Wang Xuan cupped his fists and saluted everyone.

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, the people in the audience didn't even dare to scream, and all of them said with smiles that it was an honor for them to receive Wang Xuan's invitation, and naturally they wanted to go there with pleasure. It was just what they thought in their hearts, but no one understood.

Damn, I don't want to come!
But how dare I not come!

Let me ask you, do I dare not come!

I can not!
Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to press down, and after everyone was quiet, he continued: "Everyone is the top figure in Fujian's prefectures, but most of them have never met each other and have little communication with each other. It seems very bad, my strength in Fujian is too scattered, and I can't condense into one rope, so it is very inconvenient to do many things."

"Of course, this is a purpose, but the more important thing is that some time ago, the shipyard's 2000-ton displacement ship has been launched."

After saying this, there were exclamations in the venue. It was obvious that they knew what a large ship with a displacement of 2000 tons represented, but more people were stunned, and they didn't understand what this had to do with them.

Wang Xuan smiled and raised his hand to comfort him, and then continued: "Most people here don't know what this means, so let me explain a few words."

"A large ship with a displacement of 2000 tons means that it can transport 300 million catties of grain at one time. If it starts from Fuzhou, even if it is transported to Tianjin Wei, it only takes half a month, and the loss on the journey is almost negligible."

"what?!"

"This is impossible!"

There were bursts of exclamations immediately in the venue, and many Patriarchs jumped up from the spot, it was hard to believe this fact.

what does this mean?
According to the current transportation capacity of Daming, a few years ago, before there were no four-wheeled carriages, all horse-drawn carts were used to transport 500 catties of grain through the official road. If there were only 200 catties left from Fujian to the capital, it would be considered good.

This is still the official way, and it is guaranteed that no one will take the card along the way, and the journey will be safe without any accidents.

Even if you take the Grand Canal, starting from Yangzhou and Hangzhou, you can transport 500 catties of grain to the capital to 400 catties, which is at least [-]% of the loss rate.

The main reason is that the boats are small and slow, and the canal's navigable capacity is also limited.

But what Wang Xuan said now, a ship can transport 300 million catties, what kind of concept is that, at least equivalent to the transport capacity of 100 to 150 tank ships.

And not to mention the faster speed, the loss is almost negligible.

Negligible consciousness at least means that the loss does not exceed half!

Everyone understands what this means. After all, more than 40 of them are the heads of the family, and any family has more than [-] mu of fertile land.

Of course, these grains are all consumed in the province, but they also need to be transported back and forth, and they are aware of the huge consumption.

Everyone also knew that Wang Xuan would not lie to others, it was just that they couldn't believe it intellectually.

One by one, they looked away from Wang Xuan, and focused on the family heads involved in the sea trade, hoping to get some answers from them.

"It's not impossible. Before, my family's boat had a displacement of [-] tons, and I already knew that the shipyard was building a bigger boat. It's just that I don't know how big it will be and when it will be launched."

Someone stood up to confirm, which caused another exclamation, a thousand tons, doesn't that mean that 150 million catties of grain can be transported at a time?
Of course, in fact, it is impossible to transport so much. The 300 million catties that Wang Xuan said is also an exaggeration. After all, the density of rice is much lower than that of water, and the space is limited, so half of the capacity can be transported at one time.

But that was scary enough.

Of course, these maritime traders understood what was going on, but they didn't dare to dismantle Wang Xuan's platform. In fact, if they transported some metal products, they could still transport so much.

Everyone looked enviously at those who were engaged in maritime trade, and now they finally knew why these people went to sea to work hard. With such a large amount of transportation, many things can be sold north-south to make a lot of money!
Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to press down again to calm everyone down, and then continued: "Why do I have to notify so many owners who don't do maritime business when this big ship is launched?"

"This is indeed because this matter is really related to everyone. Compared with what everyone knows, there are actually many large islands overseas. Let's say that the small Liuqiu next to Fujian is actually not much smaller than Fujian, although it is also a mountainous area. However, its arable land area is not much less than that of Fujian.”

"But now on the island, the arable land is hardly developed. What does this mean? It means that there is no less than 500 million mu of land that can be used to grow food!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xuan's voice suddenly increased, and he said with demagogic force: "500 million mu, that's 500 million mu!"

"The more important reason is that because of the climate, where the land can be cropped three times a year!"

"The land that is unoccupied and full of weeds, as long as you get people on it, you can start to open up the land. As long as you open up the wasteland, it is your own. As long as you have people, as long as you can eat it, [-] mu, [-] mu The land is yours to own!"

"Everyone, do you understand what this means!"

"In the past, there was no big ship, and people couldn't transport it up on a large scale, and they couldn't transport it back to sell the food that was planted. Therefore, the land had no development value at all, and no one cared about it for thousands of years, but now it's different!"

"A large ship with a displacement of 2000 tons will only take six or seven days to sail, and it can transport four to five thousand people at one time. Even if you grow more food, it can be transported to the north for sale."

"How much is that worth, do you understand!"

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, the entire hall on the third floor exploded completely, and more than 40 Patriarchs blushed with excitement. They knew what it meant!

Land, a large amount of land, as long as they can open up wasteland, it will be all theirs. A family with [-] mu of fertile land is a wealthy family. What if the family has [-] mu of fertile land?
It's unimaginable!
How much food must be produced, how many servants can be fed, and how much money can be earned every year!

It's hard to imagine that my own family can also become a real top rank!
