Chapter 1566: King Song Looks for the Profit of the Year

Chang Sunxin considered the rate of return of lending money. He had done it before and could earn 20% to 30% a year.

Now it is not easy to make money, and he does not want to take usury anymore. He wants to do real business and lend money to the people. It is better to find jobs for the people.

Li Yi filled Chang Sunxin's glass with wine: "Lantian County quarrying area has been there for many years. There are many gravels and people are unwilling to farm on it."

"It's a pity to leave the land barren. If there is still some soil in it, grass will grow in spring." Chang Sunxin showed a sad expression.

If it is all stone, it is easy to pave the road, burn cement if you can, and burn glass if you can.

With stone, sand and soil, weeds can grow, but not crops.

"We can plant vegetables in normal greenhouses, such as cucumbers and watermelons, or directly plant watermelons.

We can guarantee watering, so we can plant soybeans, and the yield is okay.

Using greenhouses, we can raise seedlings in advance and transplant them out. We can save half a month and the price will be much higher.

In addition, we can plant medicinal herbs, and the medicine shops will buy them. Since Lantian County is not always dry, it sometimes floods. If you invest money in the soil, it can be improved slowly."

Li Yi had a picture in his mind, and what he saw.

The big mine behind Zuixianju was diverted from the Xu family, and pavilions and corridors were built to raise lotus and fish.

Few people are willing to throw money into gravel land, and the input-output ratio is different.

Chang Sunxin rubbed his hands: "There are more than 50,000 acres."

"Ah? Do you count the scattered ones and the hillsides?" Li Yi converted it, which is equivalent to 30 square kilometers.

Five kilometers by six kilometers, or three kilometers by ten kilometers, there is no such a large stone land in Lantian County.

"Yes!" Chang Sunxin admired Li Yi for this point, he could guess everything.

"Do you have enough money?" Li Yi began to consider not building a greenhouse. How much silk would be needed for a greenhouse of 30 square kilometers?

Without glass, watermelons grown in a greenhouse are small.

If it is replaced with a glass greenhouse of 30 square kilometers... wouldn't it be better to sell glass?

Chang Sunxin shook his head: "I want to choose a place to try first. It can make money. The rich will learn from it.

I have found the miners in Lantian County, but they are worried.

They raise pigs and now rabbits. You let them do it, then they will believe it."

"You contract all the land, plant some soybeans, don't build a greenhouse, and cultivate the land first.

Then plant alfalfa. There is still time. Seeds are everywhere. Hire more people to fertilize and water.

Buy a large number of bees. There are many nests this year. Buy them to feed them with alfalfa flowers.

Cover with an extra layer of fertile soil in winter, one by one, and plant cucumbers and eggplants. Lao Bi will give you tax exemption."

Li Yi dare not ask Chang Sunxin to plant a greenhouse. He can't afford it.

Chang Sunxin squinted his eyes and calculated, but still shook his head: "I don't have enough money. Fertilizer is the most expensive, and labor costs are a little bit less. I want to plant 5,000 acres first."

"I didn't ask you to apply base fertilizer, watering fertilizer, and honey. I won't charge you any tax. As long as you plant things on such land, it will be tax-free." Li Yi made the decision for Bi Gou.

Chang Sunxin calculated again: "Do you still raise bean worms?"

"Oh? Bean worms? Yes, you have special bean moth pupae at home, right?" Li Yi almost forgot about bean worms.

Changsun Xin smiled: "I have made an agreement with many people. They have no place to put it and will not care. I will find someone to deal with it and throw it into their fields.

In the past, you would be killed if you threw bean worm pupae that were about to hatch into other people's bean fields, but now they are grateful to you."

"I will invest 70% of the fertilizer and tools for you, more than 50,000 acres, and operate at the same time.

You hire the staff, but I will designate them. You hire whoever I say, and the price is low.

Others work 20 or 30 coins a day, and you give 10 coins to the person I designate."

Li Yi thought of a new way to reduce costs as much as possible, and at the same time have other purposes.

Changsun Xin looked at Li Yi carefully and stared at him.

"Why are you looking at my Li Lang?" Princess Yongmu was unhappy, and you couldn't do that even if you were my elder.

"Your Li Lang wants to destroy his reputation? Is His Majesty worried about it, or is one of the ministers dissatisfied?" Changsun Xin looked at the old men.

"I heard you say, how can I be dissatisfied with Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi said that he would not collect taxes, did I say anything?" Bi Gou glared back.

"How could your majesty possibly deal with Li Yi? Have you forgotten that Li Yi has slaves and their families from the southwest barbarians?

Their families work, get less wages, and help the men earn more points, so they won't complain.

It's just right to teach them how to plant, so that they can have more skills in the future."

Song Jing instantly thought of a set of operations. As a prime minister, he is still somewhat capable.

"Prime Minister Song is powerful." Li Yi admitted that he was right.

"Oh! I pay for the seeds, the contracted land and the wages? Will it pay back in ten years?"

Chang Sunxin took his own investment into consideration. He didn't care how much he took, as long as it would pay back in ten years.

"What ten years? We'll make money this year and share the dividends." Li Yi waved his hand.

Swish, a group of people looked at him at the same time.

Chang Sunxin seemed to have tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was about to cry, the kind of grievance.

Bi Gou first took a sip of wine to calm down, then exhaled: "Xiao Yi, be kind. Others spend money, you say ten years. You participate, and you make money in the same year?"

"How do I know it's such a land? You can plant it casually, tell the government, don't pay, and don't ask the court for subsidies.

Tax exemption, show others, as long as you can plant something on the wasteland, it will be good.

The matter of the inspector Changsun has been resolved, and you can talk about yours. You won't really invite me to have a meal, right?"

Li Yi said, holding the draft beer cup, taking a big gulp, and then burping for a long time.

"It's not a big deal. Didn't you go out to sea? You brought back a lot of things. I heard that some things need to be planted in hot places. Aren't you in a hurry?"

Bi Gou stopped while holding a cucumber dipped in sauce and said to Li Yi.

The others nodded. They were afraid that if the time was too late, the seeds would go bad. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"You arrange people to plant? Or should I go?" Li Yi was not afraid of problems with the seeds. The seeds have a long shelf life.

"I'm asking you!" Yao Chong said.

"If I go out, you arrange in advance. If I don't go out, do you still have to arrange?"

This time Li Yi realized that he always forgot his position.

He was not in Chang'an, and everyone needed to deal with it specially.

There must be a rule for road safety issues and emergency contact issues of the court.

"Xiao Yi, you have to know how you got your position. You are free and easy, and you must fulfill your obligations." Bi Gou followed.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must ride on its weight? Good! Send people to plant, I will stay in Chang'an and not go anywhere." Li Yi gave the answer.

Everyone smiled, right! You stay still.

We don't have to ask you questions, but we can't miss you when we need to ask you.

The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs came, and everyone looked at the entrance together.

Not long after, a person appeared, Li Chengqi.

"Are you all here? I heard that Brother Yi needs a craftsman to make something. It happened that I didn't eat, so we talked while eating. I don't have anything important to do."

Li Chengqi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, indicating that he was not in a hurry, really.
