When Li Zhi left Nambazu, the temperature had already begun to drop significantly.

The 21st year of Zhenguan has completely entered winter.

However, in the distant Australia, summer has just begun.

In a pasture near Port-au-Prince, Li Jue and Li Xiang personally waved their horse whips and rode a horse to drive a batch of sheep forward.

Every once in a while, the flock would be transferred, otherwise the ranch would be destroyed.

Everyone has already understood this stepping stone management model in Port-au-Prince.

As Li Chengqian's son, Li Xiang and Li Jue are now loved by everyone in Hong Kong and Prince Edward.

They were originally a little weak, but after they arrived in Australia, they quickly matured and their overall temperament became tougher.

"Brother, our sheep population has increased a lot this year compared to last year, and the number of cattle herd has also increased a lot.

If it weren’t for the inconvenience of transportation, just selling so much mutton and beef would be a huge profit."

Li Jue followed Xiao Yumi every day before, and his mind was relatively active.

He actually didn't resist doing business at all.

So don’t think he is only twelve years old this year and has already started to take charge of some business affairs at home.

On the contrary, Li Xiang, the eldest brother, was trained as a future emperor since he was a child, so he was subject to a lot of constraints.

Even after being exiled to Port-au-Prince, his personality has changed a lot, and it is not suitable for business.

However, as his name suggests, Li Xiang's strength is as big as an elephant.

So after arriving at Port Austria, Li Chengqian no longer forced him to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and he completely embarked on the path of martial arts.

If Fang Yiai was here, he would probably be interested in posing with him.

Although the two brothers have very different personalities, their relationship is very good.

This kind of good is not pretending to be fake, but it is really good.

Li Chengqian is an abolished prince. Although Li Kuan has been considering asking Li Shimin to enthrone him again, it is definitely not much higher.

In history, Li Chengqian passed away under the name of King Hengshan.

There is still a big difference between the title of the prince.

The status of the One-character King is definitely more noble than that of the Two-character King.

And when one word goes in, the status of princes such as Qin, Jin, Wei, and Chu is relatively higher.

"I heard that the Steam Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy has now arranged personnel to study using steam engines to promote sea ships, and even started to make sample ships in the shipbuilding workshop in Dengzhou.

If a steam engine is used as power, the speed of the ship will not be greatly affected whether it is a downwind or a headwind.

And you can also consider moving forward slowly at night. At that time, the time of sailing from Chang'an City to our Port-au-Prince can be reduced by at least 30%, or even save half of the time.

Invisibly, if we did nothing, it would be equivalent to the number of fleets entering and leaving Port-au-Prince, which could double.

Second brother, now I think what I need to do here in Port Auspicious is to let the merchants in the Tang Dynasty know that the wool, beef jerky and barley here are cheap enough.

Even if you spend two more months to transport things, you will still have a high profit.

Only when merchants try enough profits will they be willing to come over."

Although Li Xiang's business acumen is not as good as Li Jue, she still has a vision of looking at problems.

To a certain extent, Li Xiang has made an indelible contribution to Port-au-Prince's prosperity today.

After all, when Li Jue first arrived in Port Austria, he was still a little brat. If he didn't say what he knew, even if he really understood, no one would believe it.

It was only in the past two years that he was a little older that everyone took a closer look at his existence.

"I have also seen related reports on this in the Datang Daily, but I think it may not be that reliable.

Even if such a ship is built, the price will definitely be relatively expensive.

Those businessmen are the most skilled in calculating and do not choose to make themselves spend more money.”

When it comes to understanding businessmen, Li Jue at a young age has a unique view.

If Li Kuan was here, he would definitely be unable to help but give him a thumbs up.

"I think it's worth looking forward to whether it's reliable or not. I heard that many workshops in Chang'an City have already started to be used, especially in cotton textile workshops. After using steam engines, the production efficiency has been improved by many times.

The production efficiency of textile cotton cloth is improved, which basically means a decrease in production costs.

Originally, the production cost of wool produced near Port-au-Prince was definitely lower than that of Datang, but after textiles were woven into wool threads, the cost became higher.

I guess in the future we will either sell off-greased wool directly to the merchants, or we will consider introducing steam engine textile equipment from Chang'an City."

I have to say that although Li Chengqian himself is not very outstanding.

But his two sons were very smart.

"According to my understanding of the situation in Chang'an City, things like steam engine equipment will not be allowed to be exported overseas in a short period of time.

Not to mention our Australia, even in the Puluo area, it may not be possible to use it.

Besides, even if we can buy it, there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

As long as it is a machine, it will definitely be damaged.

If the steam engine equipment breaks down, we have to ask someone to come and repair it.

This one is thousands of miles apart, when the equipment repairers are invited back, the equipment has become rusted."

As soon as Li Jue said this, Li Xiang immediately had nothing to say.

Because this scene is almost inevitable.

But this is something that everyone absolutely cannot accept.

"Now the population of our Port-au-Prince has exceeded 100,000, but there is still a large amount of land near Port-au-Prince, which has not been used.

Especially barley cultivation, I think it is promising. You can get a good harvest without taking care of it.

Although the speed of making money cannot be as fast as gold or silver ore, the success is stability.

The most important thing is that there is grain in the warehouse and you are not panic. We must not have food problems here, otherwise it will be a big problem."

Li Xiang, who received traditional education, most hopes to develop the barley planting industry.

This kind of agriculture is the most important cause that Li Xiang should develop in his eyes.

"Barley cultivation is very meaningful, but we are not equipped with enough staff. A person can only plant more than ten acres of barley at most, and if there are too many, you will be too busy.

But raising sheep and cattle is different. There are pastures everywhere and there are no natural enemies. They almost need to be managed, and they will thrive on their own.

All we need to do is to regularly trim wool, milk and other work, which can be developed as our pillar industry in Port-au-Prince."

Li Jue is a supporter of the breeding industry.

In his opinion, barley cultivation is a must, but it is enough to eat.

The most important thing is to raise more cattle and sheep.

"Second brother, I think you should really go to Shishan Academy Business School to study in the future. All you think about is business matters.

There are only so many people in Port-au-Prince, no matter how much money we earn, it is of no particular use.

Look at those who come with us, even as a servant, now have very good living standards.

Nowadays, the most common thing we buy from merchants from afar every year is various wines.

Such a situation does not seem to be in line with the long-term development of Port-au-Prince."

Li Xiang obviously treated Port-au-Prince as an industry heirloom of his family.

Although this place is not their industry legally now.

But Australia is originally a land of unlimitedness, so naturally whoever takes over it first will be his territory.

"I think, but I don't know if there is any chance. Uncle Jiu is the current crown prince. His position as crown prince was snatched from Aye. They are definitely very cautious about us."

Born in an imperial family, I have a unique sense of political smell.

Li Jue is no exception.

"My opinion is a bit different from yours. Have you read the "Da Tang Daily" I received recently?

Although it was news a few months ago, it can also be seen that the current situation in Chang'an City is a bit uneasy.

It’s hard to say whether the Ninth Uncle’s position as crown prince can be firmly in his position.”

"Hmm? What you mean is that the candidate for the crown prince of our Tang Dynasty will change in the future? Is it true that the rumor that the Uncle Chu wants to compete for the position of crown prince?

If the Tang Dynasty was really handed over to Uncle Chu, that would be great. We would really have the chance to go back to Chang'an City to take a look."

Li Jue said expectantly.

They actually knew very well what everyone in the royal family was about Li Chengqian.

It is obvious that Li Jue, who had spent many years in Hongxing Kindergarten, has a natural closeness to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Even Xiao Mei, who had been bullying him at the beginning, missed him very much.
