Li Yu listened to Li Xueyi's remarks about the current problem of cement workshops in building large rotary kilns. After listening to Li Yu, he didn't say anything else. There is no need to compare them too quickly. As long as cement sales are good in the future, they will work hard to improve and use large rotary kilns. In the face of huge benefits, they will automatically make changes.

Half a month after Li Yu finished watching the cement workshop. In addition to supplying materials for the construction academy, because the cement workshop was constantly expanding, the academy had endless cement produced by the cement workshop and cement produced by the cement workshop began to be marketed.

Since the ministers in the court knew that the materials used in Li Yugai's villa were cement, and the built houses were durable and they bought them in large quantities. As the number of users increased, the incomparable effects of cement were also reflected. In half a month, the people of prefectures and counties near Chang'an also came to the cement workshop to buy them.

The sales of cement have successfully opened up the market, but the sales are extremely hot.

When Li Xiuning saw a large amount of money entering the princess's treasury, she excitedly ordered Li Xueyi to expand the output of the cement workshop.

In less than two months after the completion of the cement workshop, the number of workers in the workshop increased sharply from more than 400 in the early stage to more than 3,000. More than 300,000 kilograms of cement was produced every day, and the net income per day was more than 600 jin of money.

Every day, from various counties to Chang'an, a large number of human trolleys can be seen every day. Farmers nearby push coal to cement trucks to collect coal from open-pit coal mines to coal selling and cement workshops.

Gradually, the people of the Tang Dynasty also gained a new understanding of coal and knew that it was very convenient to use coal, cooking, etc., and it was clean and cheap.

The rapid expansion of cement plants has gradually emerged. The coal that was originally unattended by the nearby people has now been regarded as treasures by the people. It is said that several violent conflicts occurred in order to seize open-air coal, and the Xinzhu County Magistrate was very worried about this matter...

With the help of Li Yu, Li Xiuning took the opportunity to continuously produce coal balls, coal-saving stoves, chimneys... Now, it has begun to sell well in prefectures and counties around Chang'an.

When a businessman near Chang'an smelled business opportunities, he built workshops nearby in cement workshops and coal briquette workshops... to specialize in producing chimneys and coal-salt stoves. In the end, even the refractory furnace cores were professionally made. The products were sold further away. Gradually, the small workshops that produced other products were also moved closer to the vicinity of this place.

Now the middle of Li Yu and Princess Villa has spontaneously become a professional workshop area. The population has increased greatly, and gradually formed a trend of a farmers' market...

...

"Why are you here at this time?" Li Yu was trimming flowers in the garden. He looked up and saw Li Xiuning coming to the villa quickly. Seeing her hurried appearance, he asked.

Li Xiuning said with joy: "Thank you, Mr. Li, Hongfu, the cement produced by the cement workshop has now been no longer as fast as it sells."

Li Xiuning finished speaking with joy and asked, "Do you think you are expanding the cement workshop? Now the merchants who come to buy cement have been lined up for more than ten days."

When Li Yu saw Li Xiuning's happy appearance, he seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant things he had had with his father before. Maybe she had figured it out.

Li Yu put down the scissors in his hand and said with a smile: "Is it good? You don't have to worry about the money you build the academy?"

After saying that, Li Yu added again: "But pay attention to the cement formula in the cement workshop. Don't be stolen by someone?"

After hearing Li Yu's last Dingzi, Li Xiuning nodded and said, "The formula is related to the life and death of the cement factory. I understand that I have already told Li Xueyi to ensure that the cement formula will not flow out."

After hearing this, Li Yu asked in confusion: "What's the reason for you today?"

Li Xiuning immediately said: "Now, the workers in cement workshops and other small workshop workers, as well as customers who come to buy cement, and suppliers who sell raw materials such as coal, have a population of more than 10,000 people near the cement workshop every day. This is not the case with the small vendors and the families of workshop workers who sell various snacks near the cement factory. Now it has caused excessive congestion on the roads near the workshop, which has affected nearby traffic.

Another thing is that because we give a lot of money to the cement workshop, the workers in the cement workshop can support the whole family. Many workers in the workshop live near the cement workshop. The market is getting bigger and bigger now. I see that so many people are worried about them every day. What can you do if you don’t have any solutions?"

Li Yu did not expect that a cement workshop and several other workshops would have brought so many small workshops in a row, and in two months it would have developed into a small town.

Li Yu considered the practice of later generations and said, "This is how you put the nearby ten miles into the workshop development zone, and the types of production of the workshop are planned in a unified manner. The residential area and farmers' market are planned separately.

"Development Zone?" Li Xiuning didn't understand and looked at Li Yu in confusion.

Seeing her appearance, Li Yu must have no idea what the development zone was, so he roughly conceived the development zone of later generations to her.

After introducing the situation of the development zone in later generations, Li Yu said again: "If a development zone is established, tax collection will be collected, external personnel management, public security management, and professional management of the development zone in the future. Moreover, the entire development zone will not be within the management scope of Xinzhu County in the future."

Seeing Li Xiuning's surprise look, Li Yu ignored her surprise.

Li Yu thought for a while and added again: "For the problem of workers' housing, I think we can set a piece of land separately. Use the cement produced by our cement workshop to build employee housing. After the construction is completed, it will be sold to workers at a cost price. Can we build a commercial building and sell it."

After hearing this, Li Xiuning didn't understand the development zone very much, and did not express his opinion. Instead, he asked: "Li Yu, who will manage the open zone you mentioned in the future? Are you planning to let the imperial court manage it?"

After hearing this, Li Yu asked unhappily: "Do you see if there are such talents in the court now? Let Uncle Fu be transferred to manage it. Moreover, this land belongs to your fiefdom, so we should manage it. We can do whatever we want. I don't want the people from the court to come and intervene, and make the development zone messy in the future."

Li Xiuning didn't understand these things very well. She also understood the style of court officials and was procrastinating in their work and did not object.

Seeing that Li Xiuning did not object, Li Yu took out more than twenty manuscripts written in words from the bookcase and handed them to Li Xiuning and said, "This is the plan for the construction of the development zone that I wrote. Let's talk about it."

Li Xiuning took a stack of paper written by Li Yu, and wrote on the cover: "Suggestions on the Necessity and Feasibility of Preparing for the Construction of a Development Zone."

When Li Xiuning looked through the manuscript written by Li Yu, it was somewhat similar to the official documents of the court, but there was nothing empty talk. Each item was well-founded, explaining the benefits of the construction of the development zone, as well as the difficulties encountered during the construction of the development zone. The investment of funds and the use of funds, the division of powers, the future prospects estimates, and the significant impacts that will have in the future are all clearly written.

Li Xiuning looked at the complete analysis report and also had a grand idea of ​​the entire development zone again.

At the same time, Li Xiuning read the analysis report "The Necessity and Feasibility Suggestions for Preparing for Building a Development Zone" written by Li Yu, and was surprised, but she also made her helpless and tired.

I felt that things that the court had very difficult to do, and as long as they were in the hands of this guy, they could easily solve them, and everything seemed to be easy to do. But this guy just didn't want to offer suggestions to the Tang Dynasty.

I returned to the Princess Villa listlessly, sat in front of the dressing table and looked at my appearance, but I was unwilling to sort it out, and remembered the "Necessary and Feasibility Suggestions for Building a Development Zone" given to me by Li Yu.

I read it again and the more I read it, the better I feel. If this is done, at least it will double the entire Tang Dynasty economy. There are many other methods and suggestions that can be used directly by the imperial court.

He quickly called Li Xueyi over and handed Li Yu the suggestion to establish a development zone written by Li Yu to Li Xueyi to watch.

After reading the "Necessary and Feasibility Suggestions for Building a Development Zone", Li Xueyi stood up excitedly and said, "If the Princess develops this development zone, it will be no problem that our income will exceed the imperial court's income in less than ten years.

"Tsk tsk..., this is not a development zone, it is simply a new city built by workshops! If this is completely built, it will be a city larger than a Chang'an City."

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "I don't say that the income is several times more than the court's income, but even if the income is half of the court, my father will not be at ease. If not, I will hand over this plan to my father and let him decide."

(The second update, I will update this today. See you tomorrow, my friends. The next thing on earth is to have a war with the Turks. Let’s see how the Dragon and Phoenix Empire is now transformed into an army to deal with the Turks.)
