"Leather boots."

Niu Zhen and other generals suddenly came to the spirit.

Luffy then asked, "Your Highness, what are leather boots?"

Now the Qingzhou army is wearing cloth shoes. This kind of shoes with the dark green uniform of the Qingzhou army always makes Xiao Ming a little uncomfortable, so he is going to develop the leather shoes industry in Qingzhou.

After all, leather shoes are more durable than cloth shoes, and a layer of velvet can keep them warm, so that soldiers will not be afraid of the cold.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The development of the shoemaking industry can also provide a large number of jobs for Qingzhou, so as to further digest the refugees. Moreover, he has a complete set of production technology from cow hide to leather shoes.

"I can't say it clearly now. When the leather boots come out, you will know it clearly." Xiao Ming gave a ha ha.

The generals immediately sighed.

In addition to the problem of food, Pang Yukun also talked about the resettlement of the victims of the fiefdom, the development of each state and county, and the income and expenditure of the fiefdom in this year.

On the whole, due to the large number of businessmen's financial support for the northern expedition, Qingzhou's finance is surplus this year, and the surplus money has been invested in infrastructure construction and the establishment of public welfare.

For Xiao Ming, his advantage is to spread knowledge, so universal education is particularly important. The more talents there are, the more they can be distributed to all walks of life to promote the development of the industry.

Then Xiao Wenxuan reported the government's own situation.

After Xiao Ming proposed that officials should perform their own duties and gave Pang Yukun a textbook on the establishment of government agencies, he could refine the functions of government agencies.

According to Xiao Ming's idea, the Yamen of each state is equal to a municipal government. The municipal government will set up the sub management departments of construction, agriculture, commerce and so on to refine the management of the fiefs. In this way, it can not only reduce the monopolization of some officials, but also reduce the unprofessional interference.

"Well, on the whole, the affairs of the fiefdom are progressing, not bad." Xiao Ming looked excited. He then looked at Li Kaiyuan and said, "Kaiyuan, this time our king has signed a business agreement in Chang'an. From now on, the royal land, the king of Wei and the king of Yong will not collect taxes on the chamber of Commerce. Now the chamber of Commerce has no burden of heavy taxes. You have to compete and continue to expand the profits of the chamber of Commerce."

"The agreement has been signed!" Li Kaiyuan almost jumped up from his chair and said excitedly, "Your Highness, is this true?"

"It's true, of course." Xiao Ming tapped on the table with his fingers. "I'm trying my best to open up a way for your Chamber of Commerce. If you can't bring enough profits to me, I can be careful to punish you."

Li Kaiyuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, if this agreement is signed, the profits of our chamber of commerce can definitely be tripled. Your highness can rest assured that if you can't bring your Highness the profits of the past three times, I will come to see you."

Xiao Ming nodded after hearing the words, "well, you just have a good idea."

Li Kaiyuan laughed happily. The business agreement is not only tax-free, but also extraterritoriality for the merchants of Qingzhou chamber of Commerce in the place where the agreement was signed. That is to say, the merchants of Qingzhou are not restricted by the local law and will not be arrested by the local government for various groundless reasons.

Compared with tax exemption, Li Kaiyuan paid more attention to this, because the chamber of Commerce has seen several cases of businessmen being arrested and blackmailed by the local government. Because of this, Xiao Mingcai added extraterritoriality to the agreement.

After knowing the basic situation of the fiefdom, Xiao Ming announced the end of the meeting, leaving Li Kaiyuan and Pang Yukun alone.

"Your Highness, it's for the sake of potatoes that we stay here?" Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, "that's right. Now the potatoes have come down. The next step is to promote potatoes. Your government is responsible for taking potatoes down to the fiefdoms to popularize potatoes. Ben Wang and Li Kaiyuan are trying to sell some of them."

"Sell! Your highness, 3000 mu of land, even if 32 stones per mu, is no more than 96000 stones of potatoes. These potatoes are not enough. Why sell them? " Pang Yukun said urgently.

Now he treats potatoes as a treasure, who is in a hurry.

Xiao Ming naturally has his own reasons. A potato is not easy to preserve. Under normal circumstances, a potato can be preserved for several months without sprouting. Once a potato sprouts and turns green, it means it has poison and cannot be eaten.

At the same time, according to Xiao Ming's understanding, potatoes were high-end food when they first appeared, and they were eaten among nobles. That is to say, the price is not cheap, and it's not profitable to take advantage of the freshness of potatoes.

After telling his reasons to Pang Yukun, Pang Yukun suddenly realized.

"96000 stone sold 16000 stone, some of the remaining potatoes are selected for breeding, and the rest are served as dishes for the army and colleges. How about that?" Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun nodded at this time, "well, the reputation of the potato spread, next year potato harvest will have a large number of businessmen to buy."

Li Kaiyuan is in total potato sell how much stone, he said: "Your Highness, this potato is so delicious, better sell a thirty Liang silver a stone."

"The price is tens of times higher than rice. These businessmen are not likely to buy it. In this case, the chamber of Commerce will hang up the news about potatoes. At the same time, Wang asked the newspaper to focus on potatoes and put advertisements on hot-air balloons." Xiao Ming said.The three agreed to go back to make preparations.

Xiao Ming went back to the palace to write a manuscript, which was naturally about potatoes. At the same time, he also introduced some characteristics of potatoes, such as green sprouting potatoes can't be eaten, and how to preserve potatoes.

The reason why he did this is the same as what he asked the newspaper to pay attention to the use of the briquette stove a few days ago, in order to avoid the death accident caused by the wrong use.

When the manuscript was finished, he sent the servant to the newspaper for printing overnight.

At the same time, Pang Yukun went to the slave plantation. Kuiwu had been harvesting potatoes that day. When he arrived at the plantation, he asked about the potato harvest.

Kuiwu was planted with high-quality potato seedlings. However, because of uneven fertilizer, the harvest was still high and low, with 20 stones low and more than 30 stones high. Generally speaking, it was good.

About 90000 stones were harvested from 3000 mu of land.

When Li Kaiyuan returned to the chamber of Commerce, he immediately spread the potato issue among the merchants of the chamber of Commerce. At the same time, he posted a notice at the door of the chamber of Commerce, officially launching the brand-new Qingzhou commodity potato.

The next day, as soon as the newspaper came out, the word "potato" immediately became a hot word in Qingzhou City, and the hot-air balloon with a huge advertisement for potato swaggered past Qingzhou City, which made the smart businessmen immediately smell the business opportunities and rush to the chamber of Commerce.
