Liu Landun smiled and did not hide his greed in his eyes: "If the price of mutton can be reduced to about twice the price than pork, the entire Song Dynasty would probably be able to eat ten million sheep every year. Now how many sheep can be produced in Xixia every year? Is there a million? Haha."

Lu Bing took a breath.

"Ten million sheep, are you afraid you want to buy the entire land of Xixia to raise sheep?"

Liu Landuan smiled and said, "I think, but they don't sell it, but it doesn't matter. I just need to invest. If I spend money, I can always make a few super ranches."

Liu Landun cherishes it: "The Hetao and Hexi Corridor areas such as Lingzhou, Xingqing, Liangzhou and Guazhou are all fertile lands, and it is a pity that these places are used to grow grains.

Our Song Dynasty did not lack food or meat, and the Xia people were not good at farming. Didn’t our big boss say in the theory of wealth of the country that the market needs division of labor, and the international community also needs division of labor.

Our Song Dynasty was good at agriculture, while the Western Xia was good at animal husbandry, so it would be better if we complement each other.

There are only more than two million people in Xixia, and it is not enough to raise sheep, so why do you still farm?

There is not much output, not enough to eat by yourself. I raised sheep and exchanged grain with the Song Dynasty. How good do you think!

You see, sheep have many functions, meat can be eaten and can produce a large amount of wool.

Sweaters made of wool are precious. Isn’t there any manufacturer in your park that is vigorously purchasing wool to make high-end sweaters?

Wow, I can do business, and I can provide you with good wool in the future.

In addition to sheep, there are also cattle, horses and camels, which are all good things in the Song Dynasty.

The roads in the Song Dynasty are now open and require a lot of animal power to transport them. Others include donkeys, mules, etc., which are extremely popular products in the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that as long as I can raise these beasts, I can sell them at a good price. How about this investment, you will definitely make a profit, right?"

Lu Bing looked at Liu Landun with a smile, but his heart was a little scared.

He often heard Ouyang Bian say that people who engage in finance and law are inhumane, and he doesn't believe it very much. Now it seems that this is true.

Lu Bing has already seen that with Liu Landu’s huge amount of funds, the ranches under the powerful will quickly swallow the small ranches and farmlands, connecting them into a super farm that cannot be seen at first sight.

And those herders and farmers who lost their land were either swept into this vortex, or they could only be driven into the city and became inferior people, and were cramped and sucked in blood.

The entire Xixia will be swept by a super ranch, and the fields will eventually become pastures. The huge temptation of wealth will blind the eyes of the Xixia nobles...

Once there is drought and famine, the Xixia Kingdom will have no food, and then starvation will be everywhere.

Of course, Lu Bing did not have any intention of sympathizing with the people of Xixia.

After all, he was a native of Song. To put it bluntly, when he came to Lingzhou, he was dripping with dirty blood all over his body.

The products brought from the Qingzhou Industrial Park swept the entire Xixia market at a low price, but this price still has half the profit.

The money sold for a sheep that the Xixia herders worked hard to raise is enough to buy a porcelain plate with exquisite paintings. Such porcelain plates are mass-produced in the industrial park.

The products of Qingzhou plundered the wealth of the Xixia people, but the Xixia nobles all smiled happily.

Although it was the first time I saw this legendary madman, Lu Bing knew that this person would do his best.

Lu Bing has been famous for Liu Landuan for a long time. He heard about Liu Landuan when he was a small official in the county and township. At that time, the central bank opened an office in his county. At that time, Liu Landuan was intern in the office.

The director of the central bank's office colluded with local gentry and issued loans that were not in line with the rules without authorization. Liu Landu, who was still a small intern at the time, dared to expose it, which implicated the biggest case of the central bank that year. The president of the highest branch was laid off, which shocked the whole road back then.

Liu Landu exposed the case and was transferred to the branch to work. At this time, Liu Landu's ability was exerted. He has been ranked first in the branch for several consecutive years, and he can even get a registration in the head office.

However, I heard that this person is crazy and seems to have a bad relationship with his colleagues, but the leaders appreciate him very much.

Later, I was poached by the Agricultural Bank and didn't hear anything about him. I didn't expect to see him again and it turned out to be in a foreign country.

However, Lu Bing didn't care much. After the inspection, he would go to the Gyeongju Industrial Park. There were so many things there, he had to go back and deal with them.

Liu Landun's work has just begun.

The first pastoral area he focused on was a large ranch controlled by the Xiazhou Jali clan.

The Li clan originated from the Dangxiang tribe of the Qiang tribe, the Dangxiang tribe, which originally reproduced and thrived in Qingzhou. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty moved the tribes here to Yinxia and the two states, so the Li clan, Yeli, Tuoba and other tribes became the strong clans here together.

However, the Tuoba clan became the royal family, and the Yeli, Wuzang clan and other clans became the descendants, and they were all prominent for a while. However, the Jali clan gradually became marginalized. Although they were still nobles, if they could not stand out, they would gradually be encroached on.

The current leader of the Bali tribe is a young man in his early twenties, named Bali Liang. The Dangxiang nobles generally do not live long, either die in war or on the belly of a woman. The previous leader of the Bali clan, that is, Jali Liang's father, died in the Song Dynasty.

So when Liu Landuan found Li Liang, Li Liang was quite hostile to Liu Landuan. However, the entire Xixia is calling for a comprehensive mutually beneficial trade with the Song Dynasty, so he did not draw his sword to cut off Liu Landu's head as soon as possible.

Many years later, Li Liang regretted that he did not cut off Liu Landu's head as soon as possible.

But now he doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Liu Landu did not come alone, but invited a prominent clan member of the Queen Mother Liang's family to bring it over. This is also the reason why Li Liang did not cut off Liu Landu's head as soon as possible.

"You want to invest in Bali Ranch? But I don't need to invest here. I have land and sheep. Why should I accept your investment? Can't I make this myself?"

Although Ja Li Liang is young, he is really not easy to fool.

Liu Landun pointed to the yellow sand floating outside and smiled: "Look, if it was a hundred years ago, this place would naturally be a century-old foundation, but now, with the invasion of the desert, how long can your ranch last?

I’m afraid that in another ten or twenty years, this pasture will be destroyed and you still want to make money. By then, the foundation left by the ancestors will be gone. Whether the profit-making department can still exist depends on God’s will."
