Chapter 141 The Value of Land
It took two and a half days to fly back to my hometown, Xuanqingcheng.
It was August 16th.
There are only ten days left before the start of the college.
I had previously wanted to have a good rest in my hometown and had a plan to lose all my life.
After returning to the academy, he will be promoted from first grade to second grade, and there will be more exciting things waiting for him.
He is about to turn sixteen, and in this world he can be considered an adult.
So as soon as he returned to the Bai family, he heard a lot of complaints.
Especially his mother Lan Zhixi's complaints, he almost grinds out his ears.
"Son, you don't like Chu Tianjiao from Bilan City, forget it, why are you not interested in that fairy Mu Feiyan from Xingtang City? What else are you Xiaowei and Xiaowei? Have you ever seen you walk with a girl in my mother?"
"In recent days, many families sent matchmakers to ask for marriage with my Bai family. I sent hundreds of photos, and they all had good conditions. Why are you not interested?"
"Son, your body is really fine, right?"
It turned out that the nationally catching-up competition in Xingtang City, after hundreds of media overwhelming reports, has now become quite famous.
Including his super strength to defeat all kinds of geniuses in three minutes on the ring, the polyamory stories about Chao Yuanhao, Chu Tianjiao, Xiaowei and others, and the coincidence of rescuing Fairy Mu from the evil cultivator... His name and story, after various processing, have gradually been known to gossipers across the country.
At the speed of light transmission of radio telegraphs, the tribesmen of their parents who were far away in their hometown could know their every move through the newspaper.
Since the Bai family has developed quite well over the years, Bai Feiyang has terminated the marriage. Many families who are optimistic about the future of the Bai family have sent matchmakers to make requests for a strong marriage.
There are several families, even large families with assets exceeding 10 billion.
As for Zhou Ming’s public opinion, there was a lover named "Xiaowei", the ideas of these senior members of the family were the same as those of Mu Zhenquan and didn’t take them seriously.
Because no matter how many lovers Bai Feiyang has, compared with the married couple, he can only have a side room at most.
Zhou Ming naturally asked his family to turn it off. He is still a student now and wants to focus on his studies and has no plans to get married.
So this caused his mother Lan Zhixi's nagging and complaining, which made him very upset. He said that he would go back to school immediately after mentioning this matter, and not spending a long time.
Mother Lan Zhixi calmed down a little.
Zhou Ming walked out of the house and went to a Xuanqing Fruit Processing Factory in the south of the city with his father Bai Xutang, and learned about the situation of the family's various industries.
Inside the factory building.
A semi-automated psychic machine assembly line requires twenty-four cultivators at the late stage of Qi refining to work in three shifts to maintain operation for more than eight hours a day.
Just to maintain this monk team, the factory spends more than 5 million spiritual coins every year.
But the value they create should not be underestimated, because of the existence of these more than 20 monks, this factory has a capacity of 500,000 tons of Xuanqing Fruit every year.
It accounts for one-quarter of the entire Xuanqing fruit processing industry.
Create the benefits of hundreds of millions of spiritual coins.
There are also 1 million tons of black green fruits that can be used as "rabbit grain" for pot-pot rabbits without any processing, and can be sold to thousands of cities across the country.
With these rabbit food alone, Xuanqingcheng can earn 200 million spiritual coins in a year.
When Zhou Ming heard that he had sold so many "rabbit food", he was surprised and said, "1 million tons, it takes at least 5 million pot rabbits to eat, right? The pet rabbit industry, my Bai family has only developed for three years, how can we sell so many pet rabbits?"
You should know that the cost of raising pot-pot rabbits is very high. For "rabbit food" alone, 200 kilograms of shelled black green fruits are eaten every year (the shell of the black green fruit is hard and heavy, but the flesh is very light). Calculated with more than 20 spirit coins per kilogram, the annual expense of each rabbit is nearly 5,000 spirit coins.
For those poor families, 5,000 spiritual coins are enough for a family to eat and wear and wear for a year.
Rich people use it to raise a rabbit.
It is still nearly five million rich people who are raising them.
Bai Xutang smiled and said, "Yang'er, don't underestimate the number of rich people in Wancheng Country. Last year, the population of Wancheng Country exceeded 2 billion. In a percentage of one percent, families with assets of more than one million spiritual coins, if there are more than 20 million households, and there are more than 5 million monks, they are also the main force in purchasing pot-pot rabbits."
"But 5 million pot rabbits... doesn't it mean that all families with some money have bought a pot rabbit?"
This is really a bit exaggerated.
“Hahaha~”
Bai Xutang laughed heartily and said, "This is actually due to the Queen of Rabbit. After research, animal experts found that Guoguoratu is actually very smart. Adult Guoguoratus has an IQ equivalent to a six-year-old child and can understand many human commands. Before selling each pet rabbit, the Queen of Rabbit will train them to screen out those who are well-behaved and obedient, who can do many eloquent actions, sell them to humans to enjoy their happiness. Those who are stupid and disobedient will be eliminated and stay in the rabbit group to plant trees."
Such a cute, obedient and obedient pet Guoguotu is naturally very popular in the market and even rushed to buy at a price increase.
Zhou Ming was a little stunned when he heard this.
He has not paid attention to this matter for a year, and the Queen of Rabbit actually made him a big news.
But... why did the Queen of Rabbit do this?
After thinking a little, Zhou Ming immediately understood.
Let’s compare the giant pandas on the earth. In the face of strong humans, it is very important for animals to survive well.
Apart from the extremely hard tooth and the speed of running, the whole bunny is a scumbag, and the race survives and dies, and it also relies extremely on the Xuanqing Fruit Forest. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Queen of Rabbit discovered that it is better to fully utilize its cute attributes and form a dependent and survival relationship with humans than to form a symbiotic relationship with the Xuanqing Fruit Forest.
After all, being cute is simple and easy to learn, humans are strong and rich, and climbing to this high branch of humans, the Guoguo Rabbit Clan will never perish.
Zhou Ming had to admire the wisdom of the Queen of Rabbit and the clever survival wisdom of the weak.
In short, the golden combination of Xuanqing Fruit and Pet Rabbit can bring at least 400 million spiritual coins to Xuanqingcheng every year.
This is an extremely amazing number.
At present, there are no more than thirty families who can achieve this level of profitability.
So there is no need to be surprised at all, why many old and big families have extended olive branches to the Bai family in Xuanqingcheng and made a request for marriage.
"Son, in fact, the most valuable person in my Bai family in the future is Xuan Qingguo and Guoguotu. Do you know what it is?"
Bai Xutang stood on a small slope, looked south, spread his arms, and said intoxicatedly: "Land, endless vast land."
"The miasma forest in the south is more than 100,000 miles, my Bai family can develop as much as possible. In decades, my Qingcheng City can grow into a giant city in the south."
"Such good geographical conditions are incomparable to any mainland city. In the future, my Bai family's development potential will be endless."
Bai Xutang looked full of longing and excited.
"Land? Mias forest?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and interrupted him, "The cost of reclamation of miasma forests is very high. If you don't see it for a hundred years, you can go deep into a hundred miles. With the size of ten thousand people, the land is more than ten thousand miles in a radius. For now, the value of land will not be very large."
"Wrong, son, you're wrong."
Bai Xutang waved his finger at him and said, "I wonder if you have read the recent Wancheng Guo Daily. Population experts say that the current population of Wancheng Guo has exceeded 2 billion after rough statistics. It is conservatively estimated to be between 22 and 2.3 billion, which is doubled from 30 years ago. It is currently growing rapidly and is expected to increase to 4 billion in 20 years."
"The upper limit of the land under the Wancheng Country is about 4 billion people. If this value exceeds this value, the contradiction between population and resources will continue to intensify, and even lead to internal unrest."
"At present, there have been signs of this situation in several cities with a large population in Wancheng Country. Because of the excessive population, we have to buy land from surrounding cities."
"It's just for mainland cities, land reduction is easy, but it's difficult to increase and generally won't be sold."
"So, around land resources, as the population increases, there will be more and more disputes between cities in the future."
"Many city lords are aware of this problem. Recently, the Song family in Huanlan City sent a butler over here and said that they wanted to buy a piece of land from me, preferably close to the Miasma Forest, bid for tens of millions of spiritual coins, and purchase them within a radius of ten miles, but they were rejected by their father."
Bai Xutang shook his head. If it were the past, tens of millions of spirit coins were exchanged in a radius of ten miles, he felt that one hundred agreed, but now, he would not sell them even if they increased ten times.
Because in the Wancheng Kingdom, almost every city has begun to realize the value of land.
Those internal cities whose population is about to reach the upper limit are in a state of turmoil and are struggling to solve the problem.
Remote areas like Xuanqingcheng that are adjacent to miasma forests have suddenly become a hot spot.
Zhou Ming felt thoughtful.
"As the saying goes, gold-edged silver-horned grass belly, remote areas, do have the benefits of remote areas."
"It's just that Wancheng Country is still early to the population limit. Why are there so many cities starting to worry about insufficient land?"
"The capacity limit for the 4 billion people is a bit nonsense. The territory of Wancheng Country is nearly 200 million square kilometers, half of the land area of the earth. It doesn't have much problem with accommodating eight billion people. Why did the media start hyping up land issues just after exceeding 2 billion?"
"Can't it..."
