Li Xian thought for a moment and said, "Why develop Qiongzhou? According to my opinion, it is better to develop Panyu than Qiongzhou. Panyu, as the estuary of the Pearl River, has more development value and can also bring more benefits."

Wang Pingan pondered for a moment and said, "Third Senior Brother means to keep expanding outward, right? Didn't Your Highness leave the Central Center and want to develop Nanzhao?"

Li Xian opened his mouth, sighed, and said nothing.

Zhang Gou explained: "It is indeed true. You said that the prosperity of Panyu is already foreseeable. As long as the population of Lingnan grows naturally, Panyu will become more and more prosperous.

We in Yuzhou still have to continue to expand outward. After all, as the population of the Tang Dynasty continues to grow, we will need more and more land, so we have to make plans early."

Li Xian frowned and said, "Since the master specified that the marriage age is sixteen, and now that the Tang Dynasty has no shortage of food, the population has multiplied very fast in recent years. Someone once estimated that it can basically double in twenty years.

That is to say, the population of our Tang Dynasty is now tens of millions. In twenty years, it will be two hundred million, in forty years, it will be four hundred million, and in sixty years, it will be eight hundred million. It is a bit scary if it continues like this. "

Li Xian twisted his neck, took a long breath, and said with a smile: "There are almost 30 million guan in the account now. Even if we deduct the land price and reserve funds settled with the third brother, we can still mobilize 20 million guan.

"Haha, Ping An is right. It's me who seems petty."

Li Xian thought about it and nodded, "That's true. In fact, raising more is not as good as raising better."

Since no matter how many children you have, they will still have to go abroad in pursuit of wealth, so why bother raising so many children? It is enough to have three or two children to take care of you and prevent accidents.

Zhang Gou pondered for a moment and explained, "One reason is that they are too busy making money and don't have the time or mood to do so. The most important reason is that they believe that people are wild nowadays and their children will definitely run around when they grow up.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty laws in Lingnan are strictly enforced. No matter how many people are in your family, you cannot use force to bully others. Raising so many children is just a waste of time and money."

Zhang Gou nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem with 10 million guan, but according to the rules, for transfers above 10,000 guan, the second uncle must show me the authorization documents from the other three uncles, and it must also have the seal of His Majesty."

Wang Pingan smiled and excused Zhang Gou, "It's not his fault. Although he has learned a lot from his third brother, it's his first time to operate such a large amount of funds, and it's our money. You can imagine the pressure. It's good enough for him to do what he has now."

Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have so little confidence in our management of the southwest?"

It’s not so easy to create new things. After all, not everyone has the ability of the master. So the only thing to do is to go abroad, and overseas is where the most wealth can be found.

After fighting was banned in the countryside, the only way out for families with many offspring was to send their offspring away from home. In this way, the population was controlled in disguise.

Even if Zhang Gou was honest, it was necessary to check the accounts. Li Xian and Wang Ping'an were only responsible for the big figures, and the detailed accounts would naturally be checked by the people they brought with them.

Even though it was a large number, it took the two of them an entire afternoon to finish looking it up. This was because both of them had a good level of arithmetic, as it only took half a day. If it were a Confucian who was not good at arithmetic, it would have been difficult to look it up.

Li Xian picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Zhang Gou quickly poured him more hot tea.

Li Xian asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Wang Pingan said confidently: "Even if the land under our feet is really round, I believe that by the time our Tang Dynasty's population spreads across the world, our Yuzhou clan will definitely have climbed to the moon."

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "I don't think it matters much. Anyway, there is so much land overseas. No matter how many people there are, as long as we keep expanding outward, we can always feed them."

The main purpose of the two of them coming here was to get the money. As for visiting their senior brothers and sisters-in-law, it was just a side job. They wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't see them. As long as they could get the money, it would be fine.

"Too."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Okay, then leave more money for Zhang Gou so that he can take bigger steps. Zhang Gou was indeed a bit conservative before."

Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if the land under our feet is really round as you inferred?"

"I think the population cannot reproduce that fast. Many people who migrated from the Central Plains no longer want so many offspring."

Ping An, how much money do you think we should take back with us?"

The three chatted for a while before starting to eat. After the meal, Li Xian and Wang Ping'an checked the accounts personally.

Wang Pingan pondered for a moment and said, "Ten million strings of cash will be enough. After spending all of them, we should be able to make ends meet. On the contrary, we can keep a little more money in Zhanggou.

The next day, Li Xian and Wang Ping'an called Zhang Gou and talked about the transfer of funds.

Wang Ping'an smiled and did not respond. Zhang Gou's last sentence was the key. After the strict implementation of the Tang law, no matter how many descendants you have, you cannot form a large family.

Hong Kong's potential is definitely greater than Nanzhao's. If we leave the funds to Zhang Gou and let him run the business more freely, we should be able to get more returns."

After all, everyone knows now that if you want to make more money, you have to discover new wealth, and new wealth has only two sources. One is to constantly create new things like the master did, and the other is to go to new places.

"Then live on the moon."

Wang Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not a question of confidence or not. The southwest is mostly mountainous, and inherently it is much worse than Hong Kong, which is backed by Bao'an and faces the South China Sea. We want to develop in an all-round way, so how can we compare with Hong Kong?"

Li Xian took out a bamboo tube, took out the documents inside and handed them to Zhang Gou for inspection.

With such a large amount of funds under his control, Zhang Gou cannot be careless. If something goes wrong, he will be badly injured if not killed.

Zhang Gou took out the reserved fingerprints, handwriting, and seals and compared them carefully before nodding to Li Xian and Wang Ping'an and saying with a smile, "When do you two uncles need the money? I'll go to the bank with you to transfer it."

"Don't worry, the money issue is easy to talk about."

Li Xian stretched out his hand and patted him, "Sit down and chat for a while."
