The quadruplets are growing up safely.
Since Meijiang Academy and Cuiwei Book House are about to be put into use, Lu Changgong took the time to speed up the progress with Lu Changji.
When the Meijiang Academy was about to open in Ningdu County, the whole of Ganzhou Prefecture was in a frenzy and celebration.
Not only Ganzhou Prefecture, but the entire Dai Viet was crazy and shocked.
Especially when they heard that they were going to build the largest library, the cunning people prepared the books overnight and sent them to Ganzhou Prefecture.
Because Meijiang Academy's admission of students is conditional, Meijiang Academy is an academy for ordinary people and students from poor families, and there are contemporary great scholars and teachers in charge.
There are astute merchant families, no matter how much savings they have, they will spare no effort to mobilize their own network of connections to secure a place for their children and grandchildren to enter the academy.
Of course, students admitted to Meijiang Academy did not get a place by spending money. At first, they were given a place through examination based on the number of books they donated. Those who passed the examination could enter Meijiang Academy to study.
Survival of the fittest, those who fail to meet the requirements are naturally not qualified.
However, even with such seemingly unfair treatment, the merchant families tried their best in the hope of getting more places in the assessment.
A few more places means a little more assurance.
Perhaps, after entering Meijiang Academy to study, he changed his career path.
Meijiang Academy and Cuiwei Book House are in full swing, and Su Sijin is not idle either. The late rice is ripe and can be harvested.
As Su Sijin predicted, the per-acre yield of late rice in Meijiang Village was 1,756 kilograms, and the lowest was more than 1,500 kilograms.
The poorest county in Ganzhou Prefecture had an output of more than 1,300 kilograms per mu.
The entire Ganzhou Prefecture produced 18.58 million shi of late rice.
"Oh my God! One thousand eight hundred and five hundred and eighty thousand shi, so much, a great harvest, Princess, your Excellency a great harvest, a great harvest!" The lawyer looked at the numbers on the abacus, his eyes filled with excitement and tears, his hands holding the abacus trembled violently.
"How much? One hundred and eighteen million five hundred and eighty thousand shi?" Feng Zixuan's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he bit his lips without realizing it.
"Sir, it is 18.58 million shi." You should know that this 18.58 million shi was not reached in the total amount of Ganzhou Prefecture in the past ten years, no, twenty years.
Nowadays, one season of late rice is equivalent to twenty years of harvest.
Even if ordinary people don’t grow rice for twenty years, it’s no problem.
"Hahaha! Great, great!" Feng Zixuan was so happy that he paced back and forth.
"There are 11.19 million dan of early rice! That's nearly 30 million dan of grain in total. Great! God bless Ganzhou Prefecture, God bless Ganzhou Prefecture!"
Feng Zixuan was so happy that he was almost... carried away.
Su Sijin smiled and drank cup after cup of tea. The late rice harvest was within her expectations, so she did not have any strong emotional changes.
Of course, she was happy too.
Although she cheated in order to obtain a bumper harvest of morning and evening rice, it was precisely because the rice seeds were produced in the space rice fields, and there was the spiritual spring, which was an external plug-in that could ensure a good harvest, that she still stopped at the more than 30 million stones of rice in Meijiang Village.
"Princess, the grain harvest is great, and Ganzhou Prefecture is tax-free. How are we going to sell all this grain? Will the price be suppressed?"
After all, Ganzhou Prefecture had a bumper harvest, and Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice, probably had several times more harvests than in previous years.
Even in extremely cold areas like the Northeast, the amount of late rice planted is no less than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the total area may even be several times that of the south of the Yangtze River.
Su Sijin chuckled, "Don't worry, the emperor will collect the grain and fill the national treasury. Even if the emperor doesn't accept it, I have a way to sell it. The price may even be several times higher than in Dayue."
Feng Zixuan understood Su Sijin's plan as soon as he heard it. He looked at Su Sijin in shock and said excitedly:
"Princess, are you planning to open up overseas businesses? Do business outside of the region?"
Su Sijin smiled and nodded, "That's what I mean. Ganzhou Prefecture has such a long coastline, especially Ningdu County. If I build a port, what do you think?"
A port is also called a wharf.
Convenient for cargo docking.
Su Sijin also wants to draw on the knowledge she has learned to build a duty-free shop near the sea to do business outside the region, and also attract foreign goods to be sold in Dayue.
It can also attract merchants from outside the region to purchase goods from duty-free shops and sell them back to their own countries. She earns money from outside the region. The consumption capacity within Dayue is still not as high as that in the capital in Ganzhou Prefecture.
Since Ganzhou Prefecture’s consumption capacity is not very good, we can turn our attention to overseas.
You have to know that at this time, the world is not as advanced as in the past, nor as open as in the past. It is very closed. If the routes to the outside world are opened, the goods in Da Yue can be sold outside the country.
Then purchase advanced and high-quality items from outside the region, such as glass mirrors from outside the region, which are not available in Dai Viet.
Su Sijin's new and exotic products from abroad will surely create a trend when they enter Dayue.
She really wanted to open up commercial routes overseas, but her children were still young and she couldn't leave, but she already had a suitable candidate.
Su Sijin clapped her hands a few times, and Liu Junyan, the owner of Feicheng Pawnshop, walked in neither servilely nor arrogantly and saluted everyone present.
"This belongs to the owner of Feicheng Pawnshop, Liu Junyan. He will be taking the grain on an overseas mission. Your Excellency can count and find out. Manager Liu can sell it."
"Any amount is fine?"
Su Sijin smiled without saying anything, looked at Liu Junyan, and nodded slightly.
Liu Junyan's eyes were firm, and he puffed out his chest and promised, "Even if Your Excellency gave me all 2.7 million dan of grain, I would not bring back a single grain of rice. I would only bring back gold, silver, or other valuables."
Su Sijin had no doubt about Liu Junyan's ability to sell items overseas, because Liu Junyan had helped her sell the priceless treasures such as pearls, hairpins, calligraphy and paintings in her space several times.
Moreover, all of them are sold by overseas sales.
The gold and silver earned can be used to buy firearms or rare treasures.
The rare treasures were then sold to the capital, and the profit was several times more.
After Feng Zixuan said goodbye, Su Sijin called Lu Changji and asked him if he would like to follow Liu Junyan to go abroad to try his luck.
Lu Changji was very excited. He wanted to go outside the region very much, but when he thought about the many things to do in Ningdu County and Ganzhou Prefecture, he hesitated a little.
"Don't worry about the affairs of Ganzhou Prefecture. My father, Uncle Zhang and his son, and your eldest brother are here. Even if you venture out of the region, you should watch more and learn from Shopkeeper Liu. If you have any ideas, you can discuss them with Shopkeeper Liu. You can discuss matters outside the region together."
In this way, Su Sijin let the eleven-year-old Lu Changji embark on the journey of opening up overseas markets.
It was precisely because of the formation of overseas shipping routes that Lu Changji laid the foundation for becoming the richest man in Dai Yue and even the richest man in the world.
Of course, to become the richest man in the world, one needs to overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles, but it took Lu Changji only seven years to become the richest man in Dai Yue and another five years to become the richest man in the world.
The richest man at the age of 23 has been talked about by people for a long, long time.
