With the matchmaking between Li Zhi and Li Changge, Fang Jun's plan to make money was officially launched.
Over the next month, Fang Jun experienced the pain of sleeping until he woke up naturally and counting money until his hands cramped.
There is no way, there are too few people who are literate and numerate in this era.
Moreover, this is Fang Jun's first pot of gold in this era, so he naturally has to personally check it.
Not to mention, a one-man business is really profitable.
In just one month, he gained nearly half a million yuan.
Fang Jun couldn't help but sigh, Chang'an is indeed the largest city in the world, and there are many rich people.
500,000 yuan, which is equivalent to tens of billions in future generations.
Although Cheng Chuliang also had shares in the money, Fang Jun accounted for the bulk of the money, with a total of 300,000 yuan.
It can be said that, in terms of wealth, from this moment on, Fang Jun is truly a rich man.
You should know that a Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin in the Tang Dynasty weighed about 3-4 grams, and about a thousand coins were consistent, which weighed almost 7 or 8 kilograms.
Fang Jun had to go through more than a dozen warehouses to load the three hundred thousand copper coins. You can imagine how much money this money really was.
The moon crescents over Jiuzhou, and some families are happy and some are sad.
While Fang Jun was busy making money, Prince Li Chengqian was a little worried.
It’s still unbearably hot in Chang’an in August, but this month Changsun Wugu’s birthday is celebrated.
As the protagonist of the birthday banquet of Changsun Wugou, Li Chengqian was extremely anxious.
After all, if you want to host a good banquet, you must think of all aspects, and solving the problem of heat becomes the key.
Now that the royal storage of ice has long been exhausted, it would be a big trouble to use ice to solve the problem of scorching heat.
Although Li Chengqian inquired about a batch of ice cubes that suddenly appeared in Chang'an in the past month, the price of these ice cubes was astonishingly high.
With the frugal nature of his mother's eldest grandson, Wugu, if he spends money on a big purchase, he will not only be displeased, but may also be scolded.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian had a headache.
He had no choice but to send the butler to find out where the ice came from. He hoped that the other party would sell it to him at a low price for the sake of his prince.
But Fang Jun, the initiator of selling ice cubes, is preparing a test base at Fangjia Farm.
Now that he has earned enough money, he also wants to prevent the disaster victims from having money but no food in the future.
In his view, although the drought in Guanzhong has reduced after artificial rainfall, this year's production reduction is a foregone conclusion.
He wanted to exchange some high-yielding crops from the system and try planting them on his farm first.
If the trial planting can be successful, it is likely that many suffering people can be saved.
In the past few days, Fang Jun came to the farm outside the city to conduct a thorough investigation.
The first impression I had on Fang Jun was that he was big.
He really didn't expect that his house would have thousands of acres of fertile farmland and tens of thousands of acres of mountainous land. He was such a big landowner!
However, everything on the farm is very backward.
There are so many fields, mountains and forests, but not much harvest at all.
In addition to feeding hundreds of tenant farmers, there was not much food handed over to the Fang family.
Fang Jun couldn't help but sigh.
The planting technology at this time was simply too backward.
There are fine mountains, forests and fertile fields, but they are not used rationally. No wonder people will starve to death in disaster years.
Faced with this backward situation, Fang Jun has both joys and worries.
Fortunately, such good land can give him the opportunity to flex his muscles and plant various high-yielding crops on it.
At the same time, he can also build steel mills and tea-frying factories in the mountains and forests, which can be regarded as a great opportunity to flex his muscles.
What is worrying is that the people of the Tang Dynasty actually relied on such primitive and backward farming conditions to make the Tang Dynasty the most powerful empire in this era. How difficult it was.
Of course, when planning these things, Fang Jun does not need to do everything himself, because Lu Zhong knows the situation best.
"Erlang, there are 152 tenant households in our farm now. The master feels the hardship of the tenant farmers, so the commission is relatively low. The Fang family's total annual income is about 500 shi of grain. This year is relatively dry, so it may be reduced a lot..."
After hearing Lu Zhong's report, Fang Jun covered his forehead and sighed.
This primitive planting method is too backward.
With thousands of acres of fertile farmland and tens of thousands of acres of mountainous land, the annual income is only 500 shi of grain. This is too little!
No wonder his Fang family usually has no money and needs the support of his mother's family to keep their expenses balanced.
Since time traveling, Fang Jun has only wanted to break off the engagement and has not paid much attention to the situation at home.
I thought that with his father, the prime minister, he could become a carefree second generation official and rich second generation.
Unexpectedly, the situation at home was far worse than he imagined.
Fortunately, he has made hundreds of thousands of dollars this month, which allows him to show off his talents!
As the saying goes, "A harmonious family can govern the country and bring peace to the world." No matter where his ambition is, "harmonizing the family" is a heavy burden that a man must shoulder.
Now that he has traveled here, Fang Jun doesn't have any big ideas. He just wants to improve the conditions at home first.
If you have the ability, you can help your relatives, friends, and even those around you who are able.
After listening to Lu Zhong's report, combined with what he knew about the current situation, Fang Jun's mind was racing, trying to find a path suitable for the rapid development of the Fang family.
After thinking about it, there is only one way, and that is reform!
Farming is still farming, but it must be done scientifically and with high-yielding crops.
If you want to farm, you first need to modify the production tools.
Fang Jun was writing and drawing on rice paper, meditating and doodling, which made Lu Zhong's eyes twitch.
There was nothing he could do, just seeing Fang Jun writing and drawing on rice paper made Lu Zhong feel tight in his chest.
I don’t know what these things my Erlang drew are.
Lu Zhong went over to take a look, feeling a little relieved.
There are not some weird names on the rice paper, but some graphics, outlined with charcoal, the outlines are clear, and the sizes are also marked carefully.
"Well, it turned out to be a plow..."
Although Lu Zhong was an old man brought over from the Lu family by the Lu family, he was an old farmer after all.
With just one look, he knew it was a disassembled plow.
But when he looked more carefully, Lu Zhong found that something didn't look right.
"Eh? Why is this plow stick crooked... Sigh, we Erlang are so miserable. We don't even know how to use a plow stick, but we still want to plan a farm. Isn't this nonsense?"
"This Erlang, who is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and who doesn't even know how to use a plow stick, now wants to interfere in the affairs of the farm. Isn't this nonsense..."
Lu Zhong sighed in his heart, worried about Erlang who didn't even know how to use a plow stick.
In a short time, Fang Jun finished the drawing.
Although Fang Jun has never made Quyuanli, he still knows the approximate proportions.
Seeing that there were no big problems with the drawings, Fang Jun said to Lu Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, is it feasible to let the craftsmen build this?"
"Of course it's possible, but Erlang, the plow you drew doesn't seem right..." Lu Zhong sighed.
Although he also felt that it was not good to expose Fang Jun's mistakes like this, he couldn't help it.
Lu Zhong wanted to say something: Erlang, if you don’t understand, don’t make trouble, just eat and wait to die...
