"What do you all think is the cost of the ten-acre cement house in Chang'an City?" Wang Xuance asked with a half-smile.

"This……"

Du Gou, Li Chengqian and others couldn't help being silent.

"No more than three thousand strings!"

Wang Xuance continued.

"So, for a house that is only ten acres in size, wouldn't Aye and his master earn [-] yuan in blood?"

"I earned [-] guan with tears and blood!"

Wang Xuance sighed softly, "But it is agreed that it is a ten-acre cement house, but I can only earn two thousand coins!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said subconsciously: "Xuance, should I set the price higher?"

"Dalang, the price we have set is already twice as high as that of an ordinary mansion in Weinan County. It is really inappropriate to raise the price. Otherwise, the house price in Weinan County will be inflated accordingly, and the common people will not be able to afford houses!"

Wang Xuance smiled wryly, and said, "The main reason for me to spend so much time building and selling cement houses is to enable the common people to work and earn money!"

"Extremely!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was overjoyed.

"Nowadays, just by building cement houses, there are 500 craftsmen in Weinan County, and [-] common people are doing coolies. After these [-] sets of cement houses are built, each craftsman can earn three pennies. And for the more than [-] coolies, each of them can make two bucks!"

"With just this money, these ordinary people have already earned back the purchase of sweet potato seedlings, potatoes, and corn seeds."

"Now, there are more than 1 households in Weinan County who have planted one mu of sweet potatoes, one mu of potatoes, and two mu of corn. After the autumn harvest, each of these ten thousand households can collect at least one thousand catties of sweet potatoes, six hundred catties of potatoes and six hundred catties of corn."

"Next year, without my help, at least every household of the [-] households in Weinan County can grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn!"

"If each family reclaims an additional five mu of land, within two years, the people in Weinan County will be rich..."

"Yes, with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, not only the people in Weinan County, but all the people in Tang Dynasty will be rich!"

"..."

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!"

Just when Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others have begun to rejoice in the beautiful life in the future.

A hurried voice came in from outside.

Soon, a familiar figure hurried in from the outside.

Seeing Wang Lao Wu, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others all looked at Wang Lao Wu expectantly!

"Wang Lao Wu, how is the sale of the house going?"

……

Chapter 847 Tochara City

"Back to Da Lang, back to Lang Jun, it's over, it's all sold out!"

Wang Laowu said with a happy face.

"All sold out?"

When Wang Xuance and Li Chengqian heard this, they couldn't help looking at Wang Laowu with surprise on their faces.

"Yeah, you don't know, when the villain led those rich businessmen from Weinan County to see the cement house we built, the expressions of those rich businessmen..."

As he said that, Wang Laoshu happily described the scene at that time.

"That's why even if the price I'm selling is so expensive, those rich merchants from aristocratic families are still rushing to buy it!"

"Exactly!"

Wang Laowu nodded repeatedly.

"Very good!"

Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.

"Congratulations Dalang, since this is the case, my Weinan County can also directly pre-sell cement houses like my master. If anyone wants to buy a cement house, they can pay [-]% or [-]% of the deposit, and then I can directly build it." !"

Wang Xuance quickly suggested.

"good!"

Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong nodded happily.

"Master, Aye, and the others are in Chang'an City. In just a few days, hundreds of powerful families have paid the deposit. I am already envious. I will send a message tomorrow that we can also pre-sell cement houses in Weinan County."

“Still the price!”

"..."

With the hot sales of cement houses in Chang'an City and Weinan County, the cement houses in the surrounding counties such as Lantian County, Xinfeng County, and Xianyang County have also begun to enter the eyes of wealthy businessmen from various counties.

In the land of Guanzhong, a trend of concrete houses began to slowly blow up.

In order to obtain a set of concrete houses, many wealthy and powerful families even started to buy them at a premium in private.

At the same time, under the governance of Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others, Weinan County also began to enter the normal state.

at the same time.

A great event also happened in Datang.

The Crown Princess of the Tang Dynasty gave birth to the eldest son of His Royal Highness, and Li Shimin named him Li Jue!

On that day, the aged Supreme Emperor Li Yuan came to the East Palace excitedly and bestowed countless money and fields.

As for Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was even more delighted.

Not only did he bestow countless treasures on the princess, but he also held a banquet in the Linhua Hall to amnesty the world and celebrate with the whole country.

At the same time, Princess Xiangcheng gave birth to the eldest son Xue Na for Pingyang Hou Xue Rengui!

Of course, because of the birth of Li Chengqian's eldest son, the birth of Xue Na, who was only the eldest son of the county lord, did not cause a sensation in Chang'an City.

Only Li Xuan took a big family and ran to Xuejiazhuang next door, and took a few large carts to visit Princess Xiangcheng for a long time.

Then, it was Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others who bestowed a lot of property.

The rest are Changsun Chong, Wang Xuance, Wang Baoding and others who came to see Xue Rengui's eldest son.

Then, everyone gave a big meal of envy.

After returning, they must step up their cultivation and must speed up the planting of their eldest sons!

Only the sons-in-law are their heirs.

As for the eldest son from the concubine, they already had one.

Even Li Chengqian's eldest son, Li Xiang, is several years old!

Spring to autumn.

This year's Tang Dynasty had a great harvest. Since the beginning of spring, there have been no natural or man-made disasters.

All the people in Datang were beaming with joy.

Even, the number of people in Datang getting married and having children this year has also increased a lot.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, in just two years between the ninth year of Zhenguan and the tenth year of Zhenguan, Datang was able to produce millions more newborns.

Of course, the biggest happy event is the return of the fleet that Li Shimin sent to Luzon Island to search for gold!

Moreover, they brought back two full ships of gold!

"Your Majesty, did you really find gold?"

Inside Li's Manor, Li Xuan looked expectant when he saw the chart with various markings that Li Shimin put in front of him.

Gold mine!

As long as it can be found, it must belong to Datang!

Even if it is in the Great Food Frontier, it will belong to Datang!

In this era, even if all the barbarians on the earth unite, they cannot defeat Datang!

"Xuanba, as you said, there is really gold on Luzon Island, even everywhere! Even, Fang Maocheng and the others saw that those barbarians on Luzon Island are actually using gold to pay their respects!"

Li Shimin said with joy on his face.

Fang Maocheng was ordered by Li Shimin this time to lead the fleet to Luzon Island to search for gold.

"The barbarians are ignorant and ignorant, and they make treasures dust!"

On the side, Changsun Wuji said angrily.

"Extremely, extremely!" Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and the others agreed one after another, with distressed expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, do you know if you have found gold in Liuqiu Island or Tianzhu?" Li Xuan asked again.

"This……"

A trace of strangeness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he shook his head slowly.

"How is this possible?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"However, Xuanba, don't panic, although he didn't find gold, he found a lot of spices in Tianzhu!" Li Shimin said with a light smile.

"spices?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, you can send someone to Heling Country to check it out. Heling Country is full of spices and exotic trees. The barbarians there even use ivory as their bed..."

"Bastard!"

After listening, Li Shimin couldn't help saying angrily.

"Your Majesty, besides the sea, there are countless precious treasures of each. When the cannons are installed on our Datang Iron and Steel Ship, we will start sending out the fleet and go out to sea to find treasures!"

Li Xuan ignored it, and said slowly again.

"It's natural!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Xuanba, Luzon Island alone can dig out more than 20 catties of gold for my Tang Dynasty in a year! If we sell spices, exotic woods, and ivory from Tianzhu and Heling, My Tang Dynasty has another source of income!"

"Your Majesty can at least earn more than 4000 million yuan a year!" Li Xuandao.

"Xuanba don't worry, no matter how much money you make, at least [-]% will be yours!" Li Shimin said.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and slowly refused: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but there is too much money, I hold it hot, just give half of it!"

"So, follow Xuanba's will!"

Li Shimin didn't insist either.

"After one month, the artillery produced by the Military Weapons Supervisor will be able to equip twenty steel ships. By then, I will send ten thousand sailors with a large amount of food, silk, cloth, wine, and good beef jerky , refined salt, etc., go out to the sea to trade with the barbarians in Luzon Island and Tianzhu, and exchange them for gold, spices, strange wood..."

"Your Majesty, barbarian countries like Luzon Island and Tianzhu are mildly warm all year round. You might as well bring some grain and rice seeds so that the people there can grow more grain. In this way, every time the fleet goes to sea, they can take it with them from those places. Come back for some food!" Li Xuan suggested.

"good!"

"Also, Your Majesty..."

An hour later, Li Shimin left contentedly with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.

……

Western Regions!

Behind a hill outside Tocharian City.

Li Ji, deputy general Xue Wanche, and partial generals Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, leading [-] Tang soldiers, looked at the banners woven with black eagles floating on the top of the city a few miles away.

All of them were beaming with joy.

After about a stick of incense, several teams of scouts returned quickly, bringing back some barbarians on horseback.

"Reporting to the Chief Officer, I found out that the big food thief army has already captured Tocharo City for several months. In the past few months, the [-] big food thief army has been guarding the Tocharo City, while searching The merchants passing by here are also going around to capture the nearby small countries."

"You can find out, how many people are there in the big food thief army in the city?"

"Go back to the chief manager, there are [-] big thieves guarding it, and another [-] big thieves have gone out to plunder the surrounding small countries and merchants!"

The scouts hurriedly reported.

"Twenty thousand troops?"
