Although I have made up my mind, I have to do some preparatory work this year. Among other things, the seeds have already been sown in those farmlands, and they cannot be destroyed and replanted. Hurry up to sow the seeds and let people know the benefits of growing cotton later.

Cheng Zhijie has bought a lot of land in Guanzhong over the years, but he has always felt a sense of crisis in his heart.If there is a certain amount of land, it will be too conspicuous, especially in Guanzhong, which is no more than other places. Because of the Hangu Pass as a barrier, under normal circumstances, wars will rarely affect Guanzhong. At that time, Guanzhong encountered frequent wars and the population withered. However, after years of cultivation and rest, the population of Guanzhong has grown. They are all typical narrow villages with many people and little land. The food prices in Chang'an and even in Guanzhong are often even higher than those in places like Shandong. Ten times or even more!Otherwise, there would be no saying that Chang'an rice is expensive and living in a big place is not easy.

Cheng Zhijie, besides the titled Yongye Field, took advantage of several droughts and locust disasters to buy a large amount of land in Guanzhong one after another over the years. Although he still has a lot of money in his family, he really dare not continue to buy in Guanzhong. As for other places, where there are a large number of fertile fields, there are many aristocratic families operating them. If you compete with them for the land, even if you buy it, you will not even be able to recruit tenants if they make a stumbling block. The land can only be deserted.

Cheng Zhijie is a person with a great sense of crisis. Money in the cellar will only rust. If a prodigal spreads it out and spends some money from time to time, it may shrink without knowing it. So, you still have to Take it out to buy property.But the old Cheng's family had no way of doing business. After all, they didn't have any secret recipes that others didn't have, and they didn't have reliable shopkeepers, so they opened several grain shops relying on their land.But still the same sentence, many things can’t be done too conspicuously. When there is a natural disaster, if the grain store of Lu Guogong’s mansion is also hoarding, and the higher-ups investigate, Lu Guogong’s mansion may be pushed ahead and become the blame. Therefore, although the grain store also makes money, it is actually that.

Cheng Zhijie was also a very decisive person. He just snatched a batch of cotton seeds from Li Yue, and then hurriedly returned to the station, planning to discuss with the Anxi Governor's Mansion to find a place for him to grow cotton.

As for Li Yue, he is too lazy to buy any land. Although raw materials are very important at any time, technology is the most important thing. After the cotton is grown, shouldn't the cotton seeds be removed first and ginned into lint?After spinning and weaving, after industrialization, it will be able to suppress people with capital.At that time, the price of cotton will not be up to you. No matter how much cotton you plant, you will also work for me.

Therefore, after Li Yue made a start, there was no more content. However, regarding the problem of desertification in the Western Regions, Li Yue had to find a way to solve this problem. His hard work is in vain.

"It's so difficult!" Li Yue thought about more and more things, couldn't help but fell back, lay on the bed, and let out a long sigh.Lady Zhu came in with two maids holding tea and snacks. Seeing Li Yue's appearance, she couldn't help asking, "What's your Highness worrying about?"

Li Yue sat up and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that there are too many things to do, and I don't know where to start!"

Lady Zhu persuaded: "Your Highness, you are still young, if it is not something urgent, just take your time, why worry!" In Lady Zhu's eyes, even though Li Yue has already passed away, she is still a child. Li Yue is already very capable now, why are you in such a hurry?

Li Yue was a little embarrassed by what was said, but Mrs. Zhu was right. He is still very young now. As long as he takes good care of himself and doesn't get involved in those messy things, he shouldn't be able to live another five or sixty years. The problem is that things that people can do in hundreds of years can't be done by myself in a few years. Especially, I am not a generalist. Many things are nothing more than knowing a general idea, and I have to concentrate on this age. Those elites can figure it out, so just take your time.

Li Yue smiled and said, "What the wet nurse said is true, I was too impatient!"

Miss Zhu didn't take credit for it, she said with a smile: "Your Highness has always been smart, just now it's just that he didn't turn around for a while! It's getting late now, the cook just made Fufang drink, and he is drinking with Chun Ri, Your Highness is eating Let's have one!" Drinks these days are all kinds of drinks, which are actually soups made with various medicinal materials. Most of them taste bitter. They are said to be drinks, but they are actually used to cure some minor illnesses and pains. of.However, there are a few, sour and sweet, the taste is not bad, and it also has some effects of disease prevention and health preservation, so it is more popular among the nobles.

For this kind of drink, each family has its own unique formula, and few of them are spread outside.The formula of Fufang drink is widely spread, and it can be adjusted by yourself. To put it bluntly, it is herbal tea, and some dried fruits can be added in it. It is said that some people will add a little cheese and a little sugar in it, so the taste is sour and sweet. According to the people at the time, it can also remove bad breath in the chest, soothe the liver and nourish the spleen. Li Yue is not sure if it has any effect. For example, the sour plum soup he made before, after the recipe was spread, the name became Wumei drink , People who have the conditions like to cook a pot in summer, put it in the ice cellar or deep water well, don't mention how comfortable it is to eat in summer.

As for Li Yue, when he was sitting in the office in his previous life, the young girl in the office would order drinks like milk tea every now and then. The straws turned into paper straws. After eating the paper taste in their mouths, the enthusiasm of the girls for milk tea began to drop, but their mouths were still lonely, so they made a health pot and boiled it in the office. All kinds of so-called flower and fruit teas for beauty and beauty, slimming and body shaping.The ingredients in the tea bag are well matched, and the flower shapes are also complete for the sake of looking good. Naturally, Li Yue also remembered the recipes of several herbal teas.The flower and fruit teas that can be sold online, even if they don't have the messy curative effects they claim, there will be nothing wrong with them after all. Therefore, Li Yue made a few flower and fruit tea formulas according to the current conditions, all of which belong to It's in Fufang drink.However, the cook likes to add sugar to the drinks. Li Yue really doesn't have any obsession with sugar, so at most, the drinks he drinks will be flavored with a little bit, normally no sugar is added.

Li Yue, who doesn't like sugar, is now thinking about planting beets. Li Yue has eaten beets in her previous life. The taste of those things is not much different from that of kohlrabi, and she can't taste the slightest bit of sweetness. At that time, Li Yue Curious in my heart, I went to check how this thing became the raw material for extracting sucrose.After all, sugar cane is sweet when you eat it. Even if you extract sugar from watermelon and other fruits, it is more reliable than extracting sugar from beets. Therefore, Li Yue still remembers a little about the process of beet processing.Although it is more complicated, the cost is actually much lower than that of sugarcane sugar.Among other things, the yield of sugar beet is much greater than that of sugarcane. In addition, the current sugarcane grows in those places in Lingnan. If Lingnan is really developed, it must be a matter of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the Central Plains fell and the Song Dynasty Moving to the south, he had to develop the south extensively, otherwise, the finances would not be able to support it at all.

Beets are also grown in the Tang Dynasty now, and this is also a vegetable that has been passed down from the Western Regions. However, at this time, the beets ate leaves, and their bulbs were still very small, unlike the later ones that looked like radishes. However, this In fact, it can be manually filtered.Li Yue is only eight years old now, and after ten or eight years, she can always cultivate beetroots with swollen bulbs.During this period of time, Li Yue can also improve various tools to save costs better.

Li Yue took out a pen and paper after finishing her Yinzi snacks, and prepared to make a short-term plan and a long-term plan. Break down the long-term tasks first, and then proceed slowly. Of course, this also has to consider the outside world Some changes, such as changes in the political situation, and in addition, Li Yue only knew after meeting those brothers and uncles above that the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty at this moment could not stay here forever after they were sealed at the beginning , This is a different concept from the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. It was commonplace for the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty to change their titles, and they were changed every few years. This was also to prevent the vassal kings from making trouble. Collude with the local wealthy officials, and if you think about something you shouldn't have, even if you can't do anything big, it's very common to disturb the whole place.Who has the energy to put down the rebellion of the feudal lord over and over again, so the cheapest way is to let you change your title every few years, this time you will be sealed in Hedong, and next time you will go to Jiangnan, and next time you will Just go to Shandong. In short, once the seal is changed, you have to establish a new social circle in the local area. Before you can establish your interest alliance, you have to go elsewhere. After a few times, you have to It stopped.

Li Yue pondered for a while, and realized that she would not be able to settle down in Ningzhou for a few years. She probably would have to honestly change places after the things left behind were successfully taken over.However, Li Yue didn't have any other thoughts in the first place. He knew who he was. Although he wasn't a salty fish, he definitely wasn't someone with big ambitions. He was an ordinary person in his previous life. , Let him sit in that position, he feels that he doesn't have that ability, as a vassal, he only needs to be responsible for his own small family, at most add his own fief, and if you are an emperor, unless you want to be a fool, Otherwise, you have to be responsible to a huge country.Especially, thinking about it again, if he really thinks about who he is facing, Li Yue thinks it's better to save it!Wu Zetian, for the sake of power, you can really deny your relatives!It's better to be a vassal honestly. His current status is much safer than Wu Zetian's own son in name.

Li Yue doesn't know where she will be resealed in the future, but Ningzhou has to make a good start first!Only after he has proved his ability, can others rest assured that he can use it when he goes to other places in the future.In addition, he had to take advantage of the time now to find some suitable helpers.
