Xia He rejected Xu Xiang's invitation to visit the new farm in Sinong Temple outside the city, on the grounds that she had two classes at the School of Finance and Economics in the afternoon.

For others, those boring numbers are like beating elves in Xia He's eyes, and they can trick and create countless flowers.

Over the years, the accounting personnel trained by her hands have been spread all over the world, but for the entire Tang Dynasty, there are still too few such professionals. Most of these talents specially trained are only distributed at the provincial level, and there are very few people down.

It is precisely for this reason that the scale of the School of Finance and Economics that moved from Wuyi to Chang'an has almost doubled. Xia He is the highest level teacher in the School of Finance and Economics. Of course, this highest level does not refer to her identity, but because of the courses she is responsible for.

After parting with Xia He, Xu Xiang left his general office and took several people to the new farm outside the city.

Agriculture is still the foundation of this empire.

Letting everyone have enough food is still Xu Xiang’s top priority.

I never fear too much food.

If there is really too much food, it can be used to produce many other things, such as making wine.

Although the food policy of the Tang Dynasty has been relaxed, the winemaking industry is still in the control industry. Only workshops that have obtained licenses issued by the government can make wine. The most important reason is to protect grain.

The profit of wine is much higher than selling grain.

In fact, any initial raw material can obtain higher profits as long as it is processed to a certain extent.

Xu Xiang wanted to make more money, but he didn't dare to do this in terms of food.

Food is about stability.

Although the north seems to be short of food, it is only concentrated in some areas. In many places, eating full is still a huge problem. Once a large amount of food is invested in the secondary processing industry, there is no doubt that the price of food will inevitably rise, which will make many people who are not full of food worse.

The country's grain reserves must be fully stored. Once a famine occurs, the court must be able to immediately take out grain to solve the problem. When the Qinghuang is not accepted, those who have no food to have a place to borrow.

However, Xu Xiang also knew that control alone could not solve the problem. Control was only delaying the time when conflicts broke out. Just like the fiscal policy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, increasing revenue is always the top priority. Only by expanding the channels for flow of water will the water become larger and larger. Saving cannot make people truly rich.

The Department of Agricultural Sciences is a department that Xu Xiang attaches great importance to. Among this department, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is the most important one.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences brings together the best farmers in the Tang Dynasty, or these people can no longer be considered farmers. The first generation of people were indeed real farmers, but now, the second generation of people can write and calculate, and have learned how to count, analyze, record, and find out what they need from a lot of experimental records.

Here, there are those who specialize in breeding, some specialize in fertilizers, and some specialize in how to kill insects. In short, there are many disciplines divided into categories. Thanks to the foundation laid by His Majesty the Emperor, the current Academy of Agricultural Sciences has entered a virtuous cycle. Whenever a new problem is discovered, a new discipline will often be automatically derived here, and special personnel will be responsible.

In recent years, Sinong Temple has achieved fruitful results. Many of the good varieties studied have made great contributions to increasing the agricultural output of the Tang Dynasty.

This is also the reason why the Simin Temple Minister Liu Xin has the confidence to ask Xu Xiang for money.

Research is of course the most expensive place.

But research is also a business that can throw money into the water.

A lot of money is spent, and sometimes I can't even hear a sound.

Xu Xiang could not afford to pay more money to Liu Xin except for the budget at the beginning of the year. However, he allowed Liu Xin to find a way to generate income by himself.

So, such a new farm was found.

The reason why he is a new farm is that in Li Ze's view, Liu Xin's approach has created another new business, that is, enclosing land, building attractions, and then collecting money to sell tickets.

In the current Tang Dynasty, countless great rivers and mountains are available for you to pick and play. No one has sealed these picturesque rivers and mountains, built a gate and sold tickets to be the king of the mountain. As long as you are willing, you can go and play. Of course, the danger coefficient is quite high. In addition to natural reasons, there are countless beasts who want to feast on them.

Xu Xiang didn't expect to meet Emperor Li Ze here.

The so-called new farmhouse is actually a glass greenhouse. However, the current glass greenhouses are of high quality than those in Wuyi. Each tall greenhouse covers an area of ​​one or two acres of land, and all of them are planted with off-season vegetables.

More importantly, there are many new crops that Sinong Temple is still cultivating, and are not sold on the market.

"Is it a lot of money?" Looking at the huge new farm, Li Ze turned around and asked Liu Xin.

"About 100,000 silver coins!" Liu Xin said honestly.

Hearing this number, Xu Xiang wanted to hear Liu Xin's old face. Looking at the few tourists in the new farm, he would definitely be a loss-making business.

"You used the money to make this?" he glared at him. "If it was a rich place like Wuyi, there might be many people going to visit such a place. Now, how many people have spare money near Chang'an? And this is a seasonal thing. What's the use when spring comes?"

Liu Xin spread his hands: "Chairman Xu is a little worried. I'm just making this thing for people to visit. I'm just going to make some money and subsidy for subsidies. I don't expect him to make money."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to seduce wealthy people to invest in this business!" Liu Xin pointed to those off-seasonal dish noodles. "Does Chairman Xu know the price of these off-seasonal dish noodles on the market? They are even more expensive than mutton!"

Xu Xiang was stunned.

"But it's a pity that the dish here can only be supplied to the families of officials with third grade or above. Not to mention ordinary people, officials of lower rank can buy them all if they have money," said Liu Xin. "I really want to expand the scale so that everyone can eat fresh dish in such a season, but I don't have money."

"So you want those rich businessmen to enter this business?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

Liu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, no one of the businessmen nowadays has noticed that there is still something to make money! So I open up a new source of wealth for them. They have money, I have the skills, and the two companies can make money. I can divide the reds into research. And the people can eat fresh sparse vegetables in such a season, killing three birds with one stone. Why not do it?"

Xu Xin finally reacted and made a calculation in his heart. It was indeed the case. Moreover, if this thing was spread out across the country, it would be a new industry and could also drive the development of the glass industry again.

"It's just a matter of this. Do you need to invite His Majesty to come over and let me come over? You can do the main thing yourself!" Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

"Land!" Liu Xin spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Chairman Xu, if you want to achieve a scale and truly make money in such a business, you need to have a large amount of land. But where is our land policy? You are not allowed to buy ***. The average land that each person owns near Chang'an is no more than two acres. How can you make money?"

"You can rent it!" Li Ze suddenly said: "Of course, the country's land policy cannot be changed, but special uses can be made for special applications. In addition to getting the money for rent, people who rent out the land must also become workers of the land renters. Xu Xiang, if this thing is spread across the country, you need to formulate an implementation rule and not take advantage of loopholes for those with ulterior motives. Let the country's land policy become a decoration and form a new round of mergers."

"These things belong to the category of Sinong Temple. Liu Xin, you should come up with a grid first and we will discuss it. There is no hurry to do this matter. Anyway, it won't be done this year, right?"

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Liu Xin took out a note from his arms and handed it over: "The policy was introduced, investment was started, land was obtained, and construction began. After this series of things, I am afraid that a year would be gone. At this time next year, the people in the city could eat fresh sparse vegetables in this season, even if it was more efficient."

"Are you sure there are businessmen who come to invest?"

"I just let out the wind, and many people came to observe!" Liu Xin pointed to the farm, who knew how much money was in his pocket as soon as he looked at his clothes, and said: "There is no threshold in this industry, no monopolists, no bigwigs, as long as he has money and dares to do it, he can come in. And we, the Tang Dynasty, have never been short of adventurers. More importantly, this matter is written by our Sinong Temple behind the back, so don't have too many competitors, okay?"

"I hope so!" Xu Xiang nodded and said, "I will do this matter in a special way."
