Mi Yue did not deny it.

Although Miyue does not farm, it is also known that the yield per mu of modern rice reaches more than 1,000 kilograms.

If the amount of water is sufficient and then careful care is taken care of, the average yield per mu of 300 kilograms is indeed not difficult.

Seeing that Mi Yue did not refute, Xiao Zhengyang continued, "That's how we can collect 600,000 dan of grain in one quarter, and we will only charge one-third of the tax, which is 200,000 dan.

Moreover, the climate here is the minimum for two ripe a year.

The arrangement is reasonable, and it is no problem to get three familiar things a year.

By then, we can get 400,000 dan of food by taking taxes a year.

If one person eats four tracts of grain a year, our food can support 100,000 people.

This is just a part of our development within a radius of thirty miles.

At that time, do you still have to worry about insufficient food?"

Everyone never thought that Xiao Zhengyang could actually collect so much food and feed so many people in this small place.

Li Qiang was the first to hear it and was stunned.

"Sister Mi Yue, is my brother's words true?"

Mi Yue knew that Xiao Zhengyang's calculations were indeed not exaggerated, and even a little conservative.

But she still refused to admit defeat.

"So what? You can't attract merchants with just food! Businessmen need to make money and make profits only.

You said before that the business we built here can be comparable to Qingyang City. How did you build it?"

Xiao Zhengyang smiled.

"Yueyue, don't worry!"

I have observed it a long time ago. There is a big river next to Liujiazhuang, which leads thousands of miles away.

I asked the people in the town that this river passed through many large and populated cities.

There is also a small pier in the town.

If we expand this wharf, we can buy various raw materials through this waterway, process and produce them in Liujiazhuang, and then sell them to cities near and far.

This way of waterways has low transportation costs and fast speed.

You also know that I still have a few thousand taels of gold here, and it is absolutely enough for early investment."

Mi Yue knew that Xiao Zhengyang was rich, but she still refused to admit defeat.

“So what.

No matter how rich you are, you can’t do losing money for a long time! If you don’t have products that can be used, how can you make money?

Besides making guns, what else can you build?

You can't make guns and takeout, right?

If this is the case, if someone else has a gun, it won’t take long to lead his troops to destroy us! At that time, I’m afraid that the money has not been earned, and my life will be gone first.”

Xiao Zhengyang smiled.

"Of course I'm not that stupid! I don't make guns, but I can make other good things."

As he said that, Xiao Zhengyang took out a few drawings from his bag.

"What do you think is this?"

Seeing that the drawings that Xiao Zhengyang showed her were all parts, Mi Yue frowned.

She had never learned how to draw pictures before, and she couldn't understand what Xiao Zhengyang was drawing on it.

"What are you drawing?

It's messy!"

Seeing that Mi Yue couldn't understand, Xiao Zhengyang explained to her.

"This is a wooden boat I designed a few days ago that uses spiral pulp, and the power is an internal combustion engine.

Although the motivation is not very large, it should not be a problem to pull a thousand pounds."

Mi Yue threw up a tongue at Xiao Zhengyang, looking disbelief.

"Brother-in-law, you are getting more and more bold now, are you?"

"Do you think the internal combustion engine is as simple as building a earth gun?

The complexity here is more than a hundred times more complicated than building a earth gun! Do you think if you understand the basic principles of an internal combustion engine, you can build an internal combustion engine immediately?

I'll put it here. If you can build an internal combustion engine within one year, you can do whatever you want me to do in the future!"

Xiao Zhengyang was delighted after hearing Mi Yue's promise.

"What do you really do?"

Xiao Zhengyang said in his heart, with your words, when you are willful again in the future, I can use this to treat you! Mi Yue raised her chin.

"Of course, I always keep my word! If you have the ability, you can create one for me!"

Xiao Zhengyang immediately took out the paper and pen, quickly wrote a few lines of words, and handed them to Mi Yue.

"Okay, then you sign this statement!"

Mi Yue glanced at the statement in Xiao Zhengyang's hand.

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Zhengyang chuckled evilly.

"It's no point in saying that, if you sign this statement, I will believe you.

I'll build an internal combustion engine for you right away."

Mi Yue pouted angryly.

She vaguely felt that she had become Xiao Zhengyang, but she felt that with the current industrial foundation that is five hundred years behind in this era, it would be difficult to build a steam engine, let alone an internal combustion engine! Although the working principle of an internal combustion engine is not difficult for them, it is far from easy to create it.

After all, they are not a professional student.

Mi Yue felt that Xiao Zhengyang could not complete it in one year even if he was wholeheartedly working on the problem.

If Xiao Zhengyang is really about to create it, she can still make trouble. As long as the construction period is delayed to one year, she will win! With this plan, Mi Yue will feel relieved.

"Hmph, sign it."

Mi Yue took the statement and quickly signed and threw it to Xiao Zhengyang.

Xiao Zhengyang put the statement away, pulled Mi Yue with a smile and walked out.

Mi Yue frowned.

"What are you doing?

I want to mess with what bad things I do for you again?"

Xiao Zhengyang shook his head.

"Didn't you say I'm building an internal combustion engine? Last time I was in Qingyang City, I asked Wei Shuliang to help find a shop and make all the parts.

Uncle Wei should have loaded the machine on board these two days, so I'll take you to see it."

When Mi Yue heard Xiao Zhengyang say that the internal combustion engine had been built, she was disbelief.

"impossible!"

Seeing that Mi Yue didn't believe it, Xiao Zhengyang pulled her down the mountain to a river at the foot of the mountain.

Li Qiang also followed with several brothers from the village, and Nangong Chu and others from the prisoner camp also watched the fun.

These people didn't understand what the internal combustion engine was about Xiao Zhengyang, but they all knew that the group of rifles that defeated them were from Xiao Zhengyang.

They all wanted to see what good things Xiao Zhengyang made this time.

When we arrived by the river, we saw Wei Shuliang and several boatmen working on a wooden boat parked by the river.

This boat is not big, it is just a small fishing boat.

At this time, Li Junyu also followed.

Xiao Zhengyang looked at Li Junyu.

"Xiaoyu, how much goods do you think this boat can carry?"

Li Junyu looked around the boat and then said seriously to Xiao Zhengyang: "I guess it's not a big problem to carry one or two thousand dans of food in this boat."

Xiao Zhengyang turned to Mi Yue again.

"You heard it?"

If my internal combustion engine drives the boat, will I win?”

Mi Yue already knew that Xiao Zhengyang had a space equipment that could hold many things.

Mi Yue was worried that Xiao Zhengyang's internal combustion engine was taken out of his space equipment.

"Wait a minute, I have to check it first to see if this thing is ready-made goods you brought yourself!"

"I can't be fooled by you!"

As he said that, Mi Yue got on the boat and checked it.

Seeing that the internal combustion engine installed on the fishing boat is not like a modern product, regardless of the workmanship or materials, Mi Yue is relieved!
Chapter completed!
