Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 7 Prelude to Departure
Feng Liang's brows eased, and he said loudly: "Yes, this subordinate understands, and listen to the good news of the master."

Then, Xuan Haiyue continued: "The Xuan family's industry is mainly based on grain, and Zhongnan Road is an important area for food production. Most of the Xuan family's industry is in Zhongnan, so our foundation must be preserved first, but our vision We can’t just be limited to Central South, but also develop farther afield. My father had plans in this regard before his death, so we will try to establish a new agricultural production base in the Northwest.”

The woman in purple said: "My lord has indeed mentioned this point. Although the land in the northwest region is barren and the wind and sand are severe, it is precisely because of this that it is sparsely populated and the land is extensive. If it is well utilized, new agricultural products may be produced."

Xuan Haiyue smiled softly: "Yes, in fact, the biggest shortcoming of the Northwest is the lack of water. The other conditions are indeed not found in other parts of China. There is nothing difficult in the world. I think as long as we plan and think well, we will be able to create a sea in the Northwest. Heaven and earth. As for the matter in the northwest area, after I have settled the matter of Jinxiuxuan, I will discuss with shopkeeper Du Chun and shopkeeper Bauhinia about the matter in the northwest. Can you do it?" Haiyue raised her eyebrows and scanned the crowd.

All the shopkeepers stood up and said in unison: "Follow the master's order."

Then, Xuan Haiyue checked the accounts of the previous years with several other shopkeepers, and talked about the direction of future development. The shopkeepers also expressed their thoughts and suggestions one after another.The meeting lasted from Si o'clock to noon. After Haiyue and the ten shopkeepers finished their lunch, the rest of the shopkeepers went down the mountain.Only Du Chun and Zijing remained.

The inner hall of the Liuli Palace Hall.

On the wall of the inner hall is a map of Huaxia Kingdom, and Xuan Haiyue's slender hands are gently drawing on it.

Du Chun said: "Master, regarding the establishment of a new agricultural production base in the northwest, Zijing and I have already started to arrange it. I don't know what else the master has in mind?"

Xuan Haiyue pointed to the western region of Huaxia and said: "Look at the Western Regions. In my opinion, the Western Regions are a treasure land. The Western Regions are far away from the ocean, deep inland, surrounded by high mountains, and the ocean air flow is not easy to reach, so the climate is dry and there is little precipitation. But Also because of this, it has a large temperature difference and sufficient sunshine time, which is very beneficial to the production and accumulation of sugar in melons and fruits. So I decided to reclaim a piece of land here to grow melons and fruits."

Du Chun said: "This is a good idea. I have visited the Western Regions. There is a huge difference in daily temperature between spring, summer and autumn and winter in most areas. Therefore, there has always been a saying of 'wearing a fur coat in the morning and wearing gauze in the afternoon, and eating watermelon around the stove'." said."

Xuan Haiyue nodded and said: "Yes, I have been to the Western Regions many times, and I am very familiar with the terrain there. In addition to the climate, the terrain of the Western Regions is also very special. Mountains and basins are arranged alternately, and basins and mountains are surrounded. "Three mountains and two basins: ". The Altai Mountains in the north and the Kunlun Mountains in the south; the Tianshan Mountains lie across the middle of the Western Regions, dividing the Western Regions into two halves, the Tarim Basin in the south and the Junggar Basin in the north. People customarily call the south of the Tianshan Mountains the South Xinjiang, the north of the Tianshan Mountains is the northern border, and the Hami and TLF basins are the eastern border. In addition, the water source of the western region mainly comes from the melting water of snow and ice in the mountains, including the Tarim River, Yili River, Irtysh River, etc., in these rivers There are oases around. Moreover, the Western Region has a vast area of ​​cultivated land, and there is a lot of uncultivated land. We can reclaim wasteland on these lands to grow rice, wheat and other food crops."

Du Chun pointed to an area on the map and said excitedly: "Yes, master, according to the situation I went to the Western Regions a few days ago, the oases near the inland rivers of the Western Regions can grow many food crops such as rice and wheat, and The Ili Valley has a mild climate, more rain, and fertile land, which is more suitable for the growth of grain and wheat. If we can really make full use of this precious land in the Western Regions, then our Xuan Family may become the largest merchant in China."

Seeing Du Chun's excited expression, Zijing couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Brother Chun, look at you, you can't stop once you start talking about business! It depends on what the master wants."

Xuan Haiyue turned her head to look at Zijing and said: "Sister Zijing, Brother Du Chun, there are no outsiders here now, only us, so don't call me master, I'm quite unfamiliar, just call me Haiyue. Leave it to you couple. As for the food industry here in Zhongnan, I want to hand it over to Ye Yuanchuan and Lin Yi. I am very satisfied with their performance today. It seems that they have learned a lot from you couple in the past few years. "

Bauhinia smiled and said, "No, it's the two of them who are hard-working and hard-working. We didn't give them anything."

Du Chun also agreed with Ci: "It's okay, Yuan Chuan and Lin Yang have been with me for a long time, and they already know the Xuan family's property in Zhongnan by heart. I am very relieved to leave it to them."

Xuan Haiyue asked Zijing: "Sister Zijing, do you have any other opinions on the development of the Western Regions?"

Bauhinia said: "You two speak so well of the Western Regions. I have no opinion, but I have never been to the Western Regions. From my understanding, I think the Western Regions are the border areas of China after all. Is it possible that there will be There are some strange snakes, insects, rats, ants or beasts. It feels a little weird to me."

Haiyue: "Hehehe" smiled and said: "Sister Zijing, this is your ignorance. There are indeed many strange animals in the Western Regions, but what impresses me the most is the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions. Territory, suitable climate, complex and diverse landforms and soils. The Tianshan and Altai Mountains are covered with lush virgin forests, mostly larch, snowy spruce and coniferous cypress with straight trunks. There are also romantic and dreamy lavender fields, Golden rapeseed fields, snow leopards, sables, brown bears, beavers, otters, marmots, squirrels, snow rabbits, ibex, lynx and other mammals, birds include swans, ptarmigans, snow chickens, woodpeckers, etc., crawling There are flower snakes, prairie vipers, and swimming snakes... In a word, the Western Regions is really a beautiful place that makes people linger." When Haiyue mentioned the Western Regions, there was a look of longing and longing on her face, she was delighted and happy, which made people feel happy. Feel warm and happy.

"Seeing how beautiful your words are, my heart is moved. I really want to see it. Brother Chun, you must take me with you when you go to the Western Regions. If you don't take me with you, I will ignore you." Bauhinia pretended Facing Du Chun coquettishly, she said slightly angrily.

Du Chun bowed his head and smiled flatteringly: "I know, I know, lady, please obey my husband's order. From now on, Haiyue will hand over the affairs of the Western Regions to us. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go, I'm afraid I will go when the time comes." bore you."

Haiyue watched the interaction between the husband and wife, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Okay, that's the plan for the Western Regions. I'll meet you when I finish dealing with the Jinxiuxuan. It seems that this year I'm going again Went to the Western Regions."
