Chapter 290
The operating conditions of the industries under the name of Xiaoyao Villa can be summarized in two words, that is, making money.
If you have to use more words to describe it, it will be very profitable, such as making a big profit or making money every day.
It’s not surprising to think about it. Not to mention the commercial streets and other businesses in Chang'an City, Lantian County and surrounding counties, the profitability of the villa in new varieties of crops can no longer be simply described by the word "making money".
Take potatoes for example. Although the exaggerated yield of 200 stones per mu allowed Li Anran to harvest a large amount of potatoes, very few of these potatoes were actually eaten, and most of them were sold as seeds.
With this alone, Xiaoyao Villa made a lot of money.
In addition to potatoes, there are also corn, sweet potatoes, and new varieties of corn, millet, soybeans, rice, wheat and other crops that have increased significantly after time and space, which have also been sold as seeds.
However, commercial streets that cover farmers' markets are more profitable than selling grain.
Not only those stores that only rent but are still popular but still popular, and houses called villas, can receive large amounts of rent every month. Just those stores that are left in their hands by Xiaoyao Villa and operated by themselves make a big monthly profit.
In fact, according to Li Anran's plan, one of the most profitable projects he had was the Academy of Gewu. After all, according to the development of the education industry in later generations, as long as there are sufficient students, the annual tuition and miscellaneous fees alone will be astronomical.
Unfortunately, the current Gewu Academy is still in the stage of cultivating talents. Most of them are the kind of people who sign a work agreement and then enter school with zero tuition and fees. Only a few departments are the staff sent by those big families to train.
The most profitable business in Li Anran is not the popular food, nor the popular commercial street, but the shameless reselling of materials. For example, getting a large number of artificial gems and a palm-sized dressing mirror from modern time and space.
Although these things are basically luxury goods, there are not many that can be really affordable in the Tang Dynasty. But don’t forget that this time and space are not just a country with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about selling real good things anywhere.
There is also the business of selling spirits to the Turks. Although it is just a simple distillation technology to make the original inferior wine into high-quality liquor, or add various ingredients to make special wines with good taste but good quality, the profit is huge.
As for selling military-green caravans, bicycles, human tricycles and improved carriages to the Tang Dynasty, although some of them did not receive direct profits, sometimes the indirect benefits are much greater than direct ones.
For example, the gold mine that was later returned to Li Shimin was returned by the other party to offset part of the payment and returned to Xiaoyao Villa. After using more advanced excavation and refining techniques, the benefits were considerable.
According to data obtained from modern time and space, the gold mine production in Shaanxi Province ranks among the top three in the province. The proven reserves alone are forty tons, and the total reserves are about one hundred tons. It would be a huge sum of money to modern time and space.
Not to mention that because they don’t know the specific value, the two Tianhuangshi ore and bloodstone mines that were sold half-sold and half-given by Li Shimin, if they could sell all the stones they mined, even if they were just selling raw stones instead of finished products, it would be no exaggeration to say that they were worthless.
Li Anran was very at ease with Li Shimin's excellent reaction. After all, he had done so many things for the Tang Dynasty. The other party got much more benefits than these efforts, and it was understandable to get some benefits.
"Young Master, this is the account at home. Do you have any new plans?" After reporting on the operating conditions of the villa industry, Xiang Qi, who closed the account, said with her charming eyes.
"Yun'er, thank you for your hard work during this period. It's your credit for the villa's industry to develop so well." Li Anran, who was very satisfied with the results, nodded with a smile and said, "As for new plans, I do have some."
"Young Master, can you reveal a little bit?" Since the villa's industry was on track, Xiangyun, who found that he had less and less to manage, was feeling a little uncomfortable during this period, so he asked with interest.
"Haha...you, it seems that you were right before, you are just a hard life!" Li Anran, who knew that the other party was very talented in business movements and was also very interested, pointed a little on the other party's smooth forehead and smiled.
"Young Master! Yun'er also wants to take care of her husband and children at home, but..." Thinking of the fact that the two of them had lived for so long, she had no intention of getting pregnant. Xiangyun, who had been anxious in her heart, said with a resentful expression.
"Yun'er, you can't blame you for this matter." Seeing that he was talking about this matter, Li Anran quickly comforted him: "You dare to know your young master's special situation, and I have no choice but to leave it to fate and can't be anxious."
In fact, Li Anran herself is also confused about her failure to have any offspring appear. It is understandable to say that Anne and Lisa, two girls in modern time and space, failed to conceive themselves. After all, both parties are together, to put it bluntly, just take their needs. Although they don’t wear "little raincoats" when they rolled off the bed sheets, both women ate flowers to contraceptive afterwards.
But in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was with Su Xiaomei, Xiangyun, or after rolling the bed sheets with Xiangling and Qingwen who received the room, I felt desperate to get pregnant with my son and have a good mother as soon as possible, but I had never taken this medicine.
If you haven't gotten pregnant for a short time, it's fine, but it's been more than a year since you arrived in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, with the physical fitness enhanced by time and space, it's not easy to describe Li Anran's nightlife by singing every night.
It was better when they were with Xiangling and Qingwen. After all, the two women had not undergone the "spiritual energy" transformation through "ascending to the upper realm", and still had normal physiques. They would often be killed in about half an hour and fall asleep in a drowning manner.
But Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun have better physiques than ordinary strong men. They often last for half a night after a struggle. Li Anran did not deliberately stop the two women from wanting to conceive a child. The seeds that should be sown have never been sown a lot.
Sometimes, it can be sown several times a night. And with the convenience of being thick and long, it can always easily send the seeds to the place where they should go. But even so, it can be said that it has been since the beginning of being around and still hasn't been pregnant.
Regarding this problem, Li Anran initially thought that the two women could not have children, but after Sun Changgeng and Sun Simiao plus his own examination, it was basically confirmed that the two women's health was not only normal, but also very healthy.
As for the possibility of it, Li Anran had not thought about it. But after taking the time to go to the hospital on the No. 2 Island of Yingzhou Island in Modern Time and Space for a check-up, he found that his seeds were not problem at all. He used jargon to describe it, and his activity was very good.
Seeing that this problem was not on women or on themselves, Li Anran thought about it and finally could only push the cause of this result to the "side effects" of time and space travel, and the solution was still without any clue.
In order to explain and comfort the two daughters who wanted to give birth to her children, Li Anran had to find an immortal with a special physique and an excuse that the possibility of giving birth to offspring with mortals was extremely low, so he could barely solve the problem temporarily.
"Young Master, is it true that Yun'er really has no way to give birth to a child for you?" Xiang Yun, who was brought up with a sad story, leaned against his broad and safe chest, his eyes flushed and his expression was a little depressed.
"I won't say it anymore. This kind of thing depends on God's will. It's good to have it, but it's nothing. The young master still loves you." Seeing that it would not be a problem to continue doing this, Li Anran quickly changed the topic after comforting him for a few words:
