Chapter 172 The Rig and the Dog

(Thanks to Hienhan for his reward, Sally * Ye’s monthly ticket)

After establishing the development of Chengdu Fujing salt industry, Li Yan initially formulated the development plan for the well salt industry. Since Li Yan did not intend to monopolize, the salt wells in Chengdu will be jointly operated by public-private enterprises. Of course, most of the salt wells dug will be under the government and will be operated by the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, and a few will be sold to some well-known merchants, and Shangguanyi will strictly regulate the well salt market to avoid tax evasion and smuggling of well salt.

After discussing the matter of well salt, Li Yan took advantage of his free time to go back to modern times. This time he went back for three main purposes: one was to buy a small well drilling rig, and the second was to buy some livestock, such as high-yield breeding pigs, dairy cows, sheep, plowing ox, Guanzhong donkeys, etc. These are all essential livestock in the breeding industry, and there were no such high-quality livestock in the Tang Dynasty at present.

Back in the modern villa, Li Yan rested for a night and started searching for information on the Internet the next day. He chose several well drilling rig manufacturers and prepared to go to the site to see the functions of the drilling rigs. After all, he couldn't see anything about this thing online. Then, he found some information about the farm, and he was going to do it himself. If Xia Yan helped to buy these things, I don't know what she would think of Li Yan, so it would be better to do it yourself.

After searching the information in the villa for a morning, Li Yan was tired and hungry. As soon as he wanted to go out, his phone rang. He saw that it was Xia Yan's.

Li Yan answered the phone and Xia Yan said on the other end that she was going to invest in a new project and wanted to report it in detail with Li Yan and ask if Li Yan was free. Li Yan was idle now, so he simply went to the company's headquarters.

"Chairman!"

Li Yan arrived at Datang Company. Xia Yan and three senior management personnel were waiting at the door. When they saw Li Yan and others, they would greet each other. Xia Yan also introduced several senior management personnel to Li Yan.

When he arrived at the conference room, Xia Yan and Li Yan chatted with him for a few jokes, and then said, "Chairman, I discussed with the company's senior management. Now I am very optimistic about the jewelry market and the precious metal market. I want to develop in these directions. What do you think?"

There are many types of companies under Datang Company, but although Li Yan has acquired a large number of private enterprises, the money comes too slowly, so she set her sights on these high-profit industries.

"Good attention." Li Yan nodded. This is a custom-made industry for him. He has endless resources. "You can build a jewelry store, and I will also use my connections to find the source of goods."

Xia Yan didn't expect Li Yan to agree so happily, saying, "Although Su Xin is a man of antiques, she has some research on jewelry. If you know some merchants, you can ask her to find the source of goods first."

"It's good that I'm afraid I won't get these for a while, so take it slow." Li Yan said, his current sphere of influence is still fixed in Chengdu Prefecture. It's true that I can't get these things for the time being.

After discussing some details with Xia Yan, Li Yan asked about the development of the strategic game again, "Is this progress a little slow?" Li Yan said when he heard that the game was still in the design.

"Chairman, this is the fastest time that fifteen companies have jointly produced it." Xia Yan said.

Li Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a flash of inspiration: "Xia Yan. Have you considered the game industry? This industry is also very profitable now. This game is an opportunity. Once the game is developed, it will be operated by Datang, and will develop in the direction of online games in the future."

Nowadays, game companies are popular and the profits they generate are quite considerable. Xia Yan said: "You can indeed try this."

Then the two discussed the specific details, and Li Yan left Datang Company and continued to do his own business.

After choosing several manufacturers, Li Yan went to the three manufacturers to take a look. After comparing the stores, he decided to buy a medium-sized water well drilling rig and a small water well drilling rig produced by one of the manufacturers. Compared with the other two, the water well drilling rigs of this manufacturer seem very primitive and require manual operation. The other two are relatively advanced and are both in-vehicle form. They were completely eliminated by Li Yan. The technological content is too high, which is too troublesome for him.

The medium-sized water well drilling rig purchased by Li Yan is similar to the triangle bracket of Wangjia Salt Well. There is a drill bit in the middle of the three legs and an engine on it. It can be used as long as there is a power supply. The width of the drill bit is about 25 cm. It is said that the deepest one thousand meters deep well can be dug, which shocked Li Yan.

Small drilling rigs are even more convenient, and can be operated by two people. This drilling rig is specially used for rural well drilling, and also has matching hollow steel pipes, which can be used as soon as possible.

Li Yan was very satisfied with both drilling rigs and said, "Give me fifty sets of medium-sized drilling rigs and thirty sets of small drilling rigs."

Such a large purchase made the manufacturer very excited, and Li Yan asked them to make a detailed instruction video and deliver the goods together, and the manufacturer agreed happily.

The drilling rig is just a small matter. Li Yan’s real headache was those livestock. Compared with a lot of information, if Li Yan decided to buy the Boer goat, which is known as the world’s largest meat production, this goat comes from South Africa, and its growth and breeding are the best among meat sheep, and the taste is also very delicious. The sheep is the merino sheep in Australia, which produces the highest wool.

Li Yan also bought some high-quality varieties, such as pigs, cows, donkeys, and horses. However, these things are from south to north. Li Yan had to buy some and send them back today and buy some and send them back tomorrow. More livestock and poultry can only take their time in the future and they can't become fat even if they eat them in one bite. Jin Daqian has also been running to the warehouse every few days to drive these animals that he sees to the breeding farm and raise them in different categories.

After purchasing these ordinary livestock, Li Yan went to the dog market to go on a trip, bought twenty German shepherds, and two small dogs like Bichons. After roughly, he had been busy for nearly a month before he finished.

After returning, Li Yan handed over the German shepherd dogs to Tong Nian and asked him to raise them in a breeding farm. Li Yan's breeding farm was not a modern house-style farm, but was built on a large plain grassland. The only benefit in the Tang Dynasty was that it had a lot of land. Imagine that there were only more than 20 million people on such a large territory in the Tang Dynasty, and how surplus the land would be. Moreover, most of the population was still gathered near the city, so it could be said that there were idle land everywhere.

After Cui Yingying and Li Yan discussed the breeding matter, they quickly set up a piece of land in the south of Yizhou as a breeding farm for the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. But what she didn't expect was that Li Yan was also very fast, and some livestock she had never seen before were constantly transported here by Jin Daqian.

These livestock were quarantined and disinfected before they were transported, so Li Yan was relieved to let Jin Daqian drive them to the farm to avoid causing some strange diseases, which would be troublesome at that time.

"For this, this is your birthday gift!" Cui Yingying talked about her birthday in front of Li Yan a few days ago. How could Li Yan not understand her thoughts? This Bichon is the gift given to her by Li Yan.

The Bichon in Li Yan's hand was snow-white all over, only two months old, and was still a little over ten centimeters long, but it looked very cute and kept whining.

"Is this... a dog?" Cui Yingying didn't dare to pick it up. She had never seen this animal before, but it looked similar to a dog, so she asked this question.

Li Yan said: "Of course it's a dog, and it's a pet dog. In Luo'anguo, it's a kind of dog that famous ladies like very much, and it's very rare." Li Yan's words were naturally made up, but this Bichon is a precious dog breed, so he didn't lie.

Since it was a dog, Cui Yingying felt relieved. She picked up one and put it in front of her and liked it the more she looked at it. She had never seen such a cute dog before. She immediately captured her heart and said, "I want to raise this myself."

Cui Yingying was very prejudiced to the snow mastiff raised by Li Yan, because it ignored anyone except Li Yan, and was arrogant like a prince. On weekdays, it was wandering around the yard, but it usually sniffed when it saw Cui Yingying, and then it held its head and chest out of the way. Cui Yingying was so angry that Cui Yingying just wanted to slaughter it and stewed dog meat. The other Tibetan mastiffs were fed by servants, and it was useless for her to take it over and raise it. The Tibetan mastiff had already recognized the master.

Once, she mentioned that she wanted to find a puppy to raise, but she didn't expect that Li Yanzhen found her one, and it was a very expensive dog. Thinking of this, she was really moved, and her eyes were all watery when she looked at Li Yan.

Touching the head of the Bichon Dog, Cui Yingying looked at the remaining Bichon Dog again and said, "Your Highness, this one is for me too?"

"This... Su Xiaoyan, that little girl, also likes dogs, so she just bought two." Li Yan lied without blushing.

Cui Yingying gave Li Yan a blank look, "I'll give it to Mo'er sister, just make excuses."

Li smiled and said, "Look at how pitiful they sisters depend on each other, and they have no father or mother. If you have a pet to make fun of it, you can relieve loneliness, right?"

"I understand, Your Highness just send it to her." Su Mo'er insisted on refusing to marry into the royal palace. Cui Yingying had no choice but to have already acknowledged her status. With Li Yan's current status, it was impossible for him to only guard one person. Even if Li Yan planned like this, Li Shimin and Concubine Yang would not agree. Political marriage is the fate that the prince cannot escape. Cui Shao also expressed this meaning in his letter to her, making her the concubine more generous. Cui Yingying understood that her father would not say useless words. It must be that he had received some inaccurate news that he said this.

At this time, letting Su Moer stand with her will only benefit but not harm her. After all, Su Moer occupies an irreplaceable position in Li Yan's power.

Li Yan has become accustomed to Cui Yingying's attitude. Since she married into the prince's mansion, she has become more and more virtuous. She has become a princess, and has the princess's thinking and belly. Although she occasionally shows the naughtyness of a girl, this is normal. After all, her age is here. If she is as mature and steady as she is in her thirties and forties, it will make Li Yan feel terrified!
