When it comes to economic development, no one in the Tang Dynasty is more professional than Li Kuan.

Although many people are unwilling to admit this, they know it in their hearts.

Li Ke knew that he was quite good at both civil and military affairs, but he was relatively weak in business.

"What do you want to manage Ryukyu?"

Li Kuan was still very happy to help Li Ke’s request.

This is related to the division of labor in the industry.

The Ryukyu is not just a little land in the Ryukyu Islands.

The entire Taiwan Island and the northern islands are all considered to be in the area of ​​Ryukyu.

So Li Ke must have gone to Taiwan Island if he wanted to go to Ryukyu.

Li Kuan still attaches great importance to such a treasure island that is very close to the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Chu Palace did not focus its development here in the past is that Ryukyu did not have much of what the Tang Dynasty lacked.

In the short term, the strategic significance is not that great.

That's why Li Kuan focused his development on Nanyang.

"Since my father has re-established my fief in Ryukyu, and all the tax revenues for these fiefs in the next ten years do not need to be paid to the court.

Even if it is ten years later, I only need to pay 20% to the court, so I naturally hope that Ryukyu's tax revenue will increase."

After a slow edification, everyone is no longer so embarrassed to discuss money.

After all, many things in this world are inseparable from money.

"If you want to increase tax revenue, it is essential to develop industry and commerce. In the Ryukyu place, whether it is planting sugar cane or other fruits, it is very suitable.

However, sugarcane has been planted on a large scale in Lingnan Road, and it is probably more difficult to compete with Lingnan Road.

On the contrary, fruit planting has just developed on Lingnan Road, and it is still quite promising with the production and production of canned workshops.

Of course, as an island, the sea is everywhere, so the fishing industry naturally needs to develop.

But overall, Ryukyu’s competitive advantage is not very big, and it lacks its own core resources.”

Li Kuan's words did not fool Li Ke.

It is naturally not difficult to change the situation in Ryukyu in a preliminary manner.

However, it is still very difficult to turn Ryukyu into a prosperous existence.

"Second brother, besides the fruit industry and the fishing industry, are there any other industries that can make money quickly?"

Li Ke naturally was unwilling to only work on these two industries with not seemingly high threshold.

"Other industries that make money quickly."

Li Kuan thought quickly in his mind. What else is suitable for Ryukyu besides fishing and fruit cultivation?

Suddenly, he thought of the latest discovery brought back from America by the expedition team from Guanshishan Academy a while ago. After weighing it, he had an idea.

"There are industries that make money quickly, but it will definitely take several years to achieve results.

And no one has tried this thing before, and it is hard to say how it works now."

"Second brother, the industry you are optimistic about must be a sunrise industry. It doesn't matter, no matter what difficulties I have, I can overcome them."

After finally letting Li Kuan sneer, Li Ke naturally would not give up this opportunity.

As the God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was still very confident in Li Kuan's ability to make money.

"This thing is actually not complicated by itself. The students of the Agricultural College brought back a batch of tobacco seeds from the Americas. It is said that this thing is in the Americas. Some natives like to dry it and then ignite it little by little, and then smell it.

I went to confirm a few days ago and thought of a special method of using it.

The geographical environment of Ryukyu just now should be closer to the growth environment of tobacco, and it can be planted on a large scale."

Although Li Kuan did not smoke in his previous life, he did not smoke less second-hand smoke.

Although he doesn't like smoking, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about smoking.

In his hometown, there was a long time when growing tobacco was the main way for local farmers to make money.

After the development of various economic crops, such as planting passion fruits and vegetables, the number of talents growing tobacco has decreased slightly.

However, it is still an important tobacco production area.

Of course, Li Kuan would say that growing tobacco is an industry that makes money quickly. It is not that farmers who grow tobacco can make a lot of money, but that after purchasing tobacco leaves from these farmers, the tobacco company behind them can make a lot of money.

How exaggerated is this big money? You just need to look at the taxes paid by the tobacco company every year.

"Second brother, can you make a lot of money by just growing tobacco? According to your statement, this tobacco cannot be eaten or drunk, but is just used to smell the smell. What future can it have?"

Sure enough, Li Ke was a little disappointed after hearing Li Kuan's words.

Could it be that the kind words Li Kuan said just now are not kind words?

"The profits behind planting tobacco, selling tobacco and tobacco guns will definitely allow Ryukyu to live a good life.

I dare not say that if I have too much, there is absolutely no problem with the profit of more than one million yuan a year.

Of course, this money can't be earned by lying down, and you need to develop the market at that time.

For example, this tobacco is a new thing, and most people don’t understand it very much. At this time, how can we make everyone accept it and make everyone willing to try it?

These are all things you need to consider. Originally, I was thinking about letting the prefectures and counties south of Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road grow tobacco, but you just mentioned that the climate environment of Ryukyu is very similar to that of part of Jiangnan Road, so I recommend you tobacco cultivation."

After Li Kuan explained this, Li Ke had more confidence.

After thinking about it, Li Ke felt that Li Kuan had no need to deceive himself in this matter.

As for the current environment of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a threat to the Chu Palace.

Besides, whether it is the Maritime Navy or the Datang Navy, they are now in the hands of Li Kuan.

Ryukyu is alone overseas, even if I have any ideas, I can't resist Li Kuan's thighs.

"Then...then brother, I really regard to growing tobacco as the main industry in Ryukyu to develop? At that time, I will ask the teachers and students from Guanshishan Academy Agricultural College to help teach planting skills.

And after this tobacco is planted, how can it be processed into what you said? I also need to ask my second brother for more help.

Of course, I will not let the Agricultural College make a waste of money. At that time, 30% of all tobacco-related profits will be attributed to the Agricultural College."

Li Ke was generous and gave up 30% of the profit very readily.

Although it is only 30%, for the Agricultural College, this may be their main source of profit every year in the future.
