It took two and a half days to fly back to my hometown, Hyunqingcheng.

It's August 16th.

There are only about ten days left before the college starts.

My previous plan to take a good rest in my hometown for a few months was completely ruined.

After returning to the academy, he will advance from first grade to second grade, and there will be more exciting things waiting for him.

His own age is about to turn sixteen, and he can be considered an adult in this world.

So as soon as he returned to Bai's house, he heard a lot of complaints.

Especially his mother Lan Zhixi's complaints almost made calluses form on his ears.

"Son, forget it if you don't like Chu Tianjiao from Bilan City. Why are you not interested in Mu Feiyan, the fairy from Xingtang City? What about Xiaowei and Xiaowei? I've seen it with my mother. Are you walking with a girl?"

"In the past few days, many families have sent matchmakers here to request marriage with my Bai family. They sent hundreds of photos. All of them have good conditions. Why are you not interested in any of them?"

"Son, there's really nothing wrong with your body, right?"

It turns out that Xingtang City's nationwide attention-grabbing contest was covered by hundreds of media outlets, and now he has become quite famous.

Including his super strength to defeat all kinds of geniuses in the ring within three minutes, the polyamorous love story about Chao Yuanhao, Chu Tianjiao, Xiao Wei and others, and the coincidence of rescuing Mu Xianzi from the evil cultivator... His name and stories, after various processing, gradually became known to gossip parties across the country.

With the propagation speed of wireless telegraphy at the speed of light, his parents and tribesmen far away in his hometown can learn about his every move through newspapers.

Moreover, because the Bai family has developed quite well in recent years, he, Bai Feiyang, has canceled the marriage. Many families who are optimistic about the future of the Bai family have sent matchmakers to request a strong marriage alliance.

There are several families among them, even large families with assets exceeding tens of billions.

As for Zhou Ming's rumored lover named "Xiao Wei", these family leaders had the same thoughts as Mu Zhenquan and didn't take it to heart at all.

Because no matter how many lovers Bai Feiyang has, compared with the main wife of the marriage, he can only be a side wife at most.

Zhou Ming naturally told his family to reject it. He was still a student and wanted to focus on his studies and had no plans to get married.

So this aroused the nagging and complaining of his mother Lan Zhixi, which annoyed him so much that he would go back to school immediately if he mentioned this matter again and wouldn't stay for more than half a day.

Mother Lan Zhixi calmed down for a while.

Zhou Ming walked out of the house and went to a Xuanqing fruit processing factory in the south of the city with his father Bai Xutang to learn about the development of the family's various industries.

Within the factory building.

A semi-automated psychic machine assembly line requires twenty-four monks at the advanced stage of Qi refining and above, working in three shifts, in order to maintain operation for more than eight hours a day.

Just to maintain this team of monks, the factory spends more than 5 million spiritual coins on salary every year.

But the value they created cannot be underestimated. Just because of the existence of these more than 20 monks, the annual processing capacity of this factory has reached 500,000 tons of Xuanqing fruit.

Accounting for a quarter of the entire Xuanqing fruit processing industry.

Create benefits of hundreds of millions of spiritual coins.

There are also 1 million tons of Xuanqing fruit, which can be used as "rabbit food" for Guo Guo Rabbit without any processing and sold to thousands of cities across the country.

From this rabbit food alone, Hyun Qingcheng can make a net income of 200 million spiritual coins a year.

Hearing that so much "rabbit food" had been sold, Zhou Ming was surprised and said: "One million tons, it would take at least 5 million pot rabbits to eat it, right? The Bai family cannot develop the pet rabbit industry." It’s only been three years, how come you’ve sold so many pet rabbits?”

You must know that the cost of raising Guoguo rabbits is very high. In terms of "rabbit food" alone, 200 kilograms of shelled Xuanqing fruits must be eaten every year (the shell of Xuanqing fruits is hard and heavy, but the pulp is very light). At more than 20 spirit coins per kilogram, each rabbit costs nearly 5,000 spirit coins a year.

For those poor families, five thousand spiritual coins are enough to feed and clothe the family for a year.

Rich people use it to raise rabbits.

There are still nearly five million wealthy people supporting it.

Bai Xutang smiled and said: "Yang'er, don't underestimate the number of wealthy people in Wancheng Kingdom. Last year, the population of Wancheng Kingdom exceeded 2 billion. Calculated at a ratio of one percent, families with assets of more than one million spiritual coins, When there are more than 20 million households, there are also more than 5 million monks, which is also the main force buying Guo Guo Tu."

"But 5 million Guo Guo Rabbits... doesn't it mean that every family with some money basically bought a Guo Guo Rabbit?"

This is really an exaggeration.

"Hahaha~"

Bai Xutang laughed heartily and said: "This is actually due to the Rabbit Queen. After research, some animal experts found that Guo Guo Rabbit is actually very smart. The adult Guo Guo Rabbit has an IQ equivalent to that of a six-year-old child. It can be heard She understands many human commands, and before each pet rabbit is sold, the Rabbit Queen will train them, select out the ones that are well-behaved and obedient, and can do a lot of verbal commands, and then sell them to humans for enjoyment, while the stupid and disobedient ones will be eliminated. Stay with the rabbits and plant trees.”

Such a cute, well-behaved and obedient pet Guo Guo Rabbit is naturally very popular in the market and is even snapped up at a price increase.

Zhou Ming was stunned when he heard this.

He hadn't paid attention to this aspect for a year, and the Rabbit Queen actually made big news for him.

But...why did the Rabbit Queen do this?

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ming understood immediately.

Just compare the giant pandas on Earth. In the face of powerful humans, it is very important for animals to be cute if they want to survive well.

Except for the extremely hard teeth and the fast running speed, the Guoguo Rabbit is nothing but scum. The survival of the race is also extremely dependent on the Xuanqing Fruit Forest. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Rabbit Queen found that she could form a symbiotic relationship with the Xuanqing Fruit Forest. It would be better to give full play to one's cuteness and form a dependent survival relationship with humans.

After all, being cute is easy and easy to learn, and humans are strong and rich. If we climb the high branch of humanity, the Guo Guo Rabbit clan will never perish.

Zhou Ming had to admire the wisdom of the Rabbit Queen and the weak's survival wisdom.

In short, the golden combination of Xuanqing Fruit and pet rabbit can bring at least a net income of more than 400 million spiritual coins to Hyunqing City every year.

This is an extremely astonishing number.

Currently, there are no more than thirty families in Wancheng Kingdom that can achieve this level of profitability.

Therefore, there is no need to be surprised that many well-established families have extended an olive branch to the Bai family in Hyun Qingcheng and made marriage requests.

"Son, in fact, the most valuable thing in my Bai family in the future will not be Xuan Qingguo and Guo Guo Rabbit. Do you know what they are?"

Bai Xutang stood on a small slope, looking south, spreading his arms, and said intoxicatedly: "Land, endless vast land."

"The Bai family can open up the miasma forest with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles to the south as we wish. In a few decades, our Yunqing City can grow into a giant city in the south."

"Such favorable geographical conditions are unmatched by any mainland city. In the future, our Bai family will have endless development potential."

Bai Xutang's face was filled with longing and excitement.

"Land? Miasma Forest?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and interrupted: "The cost of cultivating the Miasma Forest is very high. It can penetrate hundreds of miles without seeing anything in a hundred years. And considering the size of the country, which is more than 100,000 miles in diameter, there is no shortage of land. For now, , the value of the land will not be very high.”

"Wrong, son, you are wrong."

Bai Xutang waved his finger at him and said, "I don't know if you have read the recent "Wanchengguo Bao". Population experts said that the current population of Wanchengguo has exceeded 2 billion after rough statistics. It is conservatively estimated at 22 to 2.3 billion, which is double what it was thirty years ago. It is still growing rapidly and is expected to increase to 4 billion in twenty years."

"The upper limit of Wancheng Country's land capacity is about 4 billion people. If this value is exceeded, the contradiction between population and resources will continue to intensify, and even lead to internal unrest."

"At present, this situation has appeared in several cities with large populations in Wancheng Kingdom. Because of the excessive population, they have to purchase land from surrounding cities."

"It's just that for people in mainland cities, it's easy to reduce land, but difficult to increase it, and they generally won't sell it."

"So around land resources, as the population increases, there will be more and more disputes and conflicts between cities in the future."

"Many city lords are aware of this problem. Recently, the Song family in Huanluan City sent a steward over and said that they wanted to buy a piece of land from me, preferably close to the miasma forest. They offered tens of millions of spiritual coins to buy a ten-mile radius, but they were The Father refused.”

Bai Xutang shook his head. If it were before that tens of millions of spiritual coins could be exchanged for ten miles, he would definitely agree. But now, he would not sell it if it increased ten times.

Because now in Wancheng Kingdom, almost every city has begun to realize the value of land.

Those inner cities whose population is about to reach its upper limit are frantic and thinking hard about solutions.

A remote area like Hyunqing City, adjacent to the miasma forest, suddenly became a hot commodity.

Zhou Ming was thoughtful.

"As the saying goes, the golden edge of silverhorn grass belly, remote areas, indeed have the benefits of remote areas."

"It's just that Wancheng Country is still early to reach its population limit. Why are there so many cities starting to worry about lack of land?"

"The limit of a population of four billion is even more nonsense. The territory of Wancheng Kingdom is nearly 200 million square kilometers, which is half the land area of ​​the earth. It is not a big problem to accommodate eight billion people. Why has it just exceeded 2 billion? The media Just start hyping up the land issue?”

"Could it be..."

In his heart, he vaguely guessed something.
