I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 602, Livestock going to the countryside

After hundreds of craftsmen in the sugar factory worked hard for a long time, Bao Xin squeezed the 1 catties of sugarcane they brought into rough sugar, but the quantity was not 1000 catties as they thought, but more than 600 catties!

Bao Xin said with a look of regret: "About 20 catties can produce a catty of sugar, which means we can only earn about 20 billion at most, which can barely guarantee that the development of Yizhou can continue, but if we want to support Fan Xian and the others to explore overseas I'm a little bit overwhelmed!"

Then he walked to the side of the bagasse, took out one and could still bite out the juice. He said regretfully: "The squeezing machine needs to be improved, and we can benefit more."

The sugar yield rate is so low, which makes Bao Xin a little distressed!Originally, he expected to earn 40-50 billion, but now the amount has been almost halved.

But for Tian Feng, this is Versailles. He said helplessly: "Lieutenant, you can get more cows, horses and pigs on the island, and use these bagasses as feed. This is not recycling waste! And it will also be used for land reclamation later. Farming cattle and horses, with them, we can reclaim millions or even tens of millions of acres of sugarcane gardens in Yizhou!"

In Tian Feng's view, Yizhou is extremely vast, and they don't even have one percent of the land they developed. If they want to reclaim all of Yizhou, selling cane sugar alone can really make Yizhou the richest place in Daqian. After all, sugar In this world is a real luxury!
Bao Xin nodded and said: "Sugar cane residues have high sugar content, so if they are used as fodder, they must be high-quality fodder, whether it is fed to pigs, cows or horses, and it is also a huge income!

The Dagan Dynasty is different from the Han Dynasty and other dynasties. The Han Dynasty and other dynasties are basically farming dynasties. Animal husbandry is only available in a few areas, and it cannot become a pillar industry. However, because Dagan has mastered the desert, the domestic livestock is extremely large. In addition, the textile industry needs wool, and it is not a problem for the common people to have 10 head of livestock per capita.

It can be said that Dagan is a half-grazing and half-farming country, and the number of large livestock in the territory is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Dahan.

Therefore, there are a large number of livestock in Dagan, and herdsmen even go south to pass the winter every year.In the past, herdsmen in Dagan would only spend the winter in Youzhou and other borders, but as Dagan occupied more and more land, the newly occupied land was getting closer and closer to the south, and the herdsmen began to adapt to Dagan. Live, and no longer worry about being discriminated against in the customs.

Therefore, the distance they bring their livestock to survive the winter is getting farther and farther every year. This year, some tribes even migrated from the desert to Xuzhou with their livestock.One is that the herdsmen want to be closer to the south and they feel warm, and the other is that the south is a newly occupied territory, and the market for livestock is extremely large, and the overwintering livestock can be sold for a price.

This is also a good thing for Daqian. Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili are all territories that have just been occupied. Therefore, large animals are also extremely needed in these places, and the herdsmen brought these animals to the Central Plains, which is equivalent to reducing the middlemen to make a difference, and ordinary people can buy large animals at ordinary prices.

For the herdsmen, Dongjun had to reduce the number of animals, and they could find a huge market to sell these animals, so they didn't have to give these animals early winter forage.This not only saves worry and effort, but also makes a lot of money when you come to the Central Plains.

As far as the Dagan court was concerned, the Central Plains lacked labor force to resume production, and having millions more livestock was equivalent to millions more young adults, which was extremely beneficial to local recovery.

This kind of livestock going to the countryside is beneficial to all three parties, so Xu Wei also attaches great importance to it, and the only trouble is that the forage needed by the livestock is a big problem on the way for the herdsmen to migrate.In order to solve this problem, Xu Wei delineated 12 routes, on which a large amount of silage fodder was stored to facilitate the herdsmen to bring their livestock south!

So now the silage feed industry is extremely prosperous, and even ordinary people dig cellars in their homes, and then harvest green grass in summer and autumn for storage. When the herdsmen attack here in winter and sell them to the herdsmen, they can earn thousands of dollars a year. , can be said to be an extra income!
Now if the bagasse outside the sugar factory is made into silage feed, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the very least. Unfortunately, they are overseas, and it is impossible for them to come here, and it is extremely uneconomical to transport them by boat. After all, the price of grain transported here has doubled. The volume of his feed is larger than that of grain. If it is really transported to Xuzhou, the price will be higher than the price of grain. If this is the case, it is better to buy grain directly for livestock.The only way for all Baoxin is to build farms and pastures here in Yizhou to consume these bagasses!

Tian Feng thought for a while and said: "Lieutenant Bao, these are not the key points. It took almost half a day for our 1 catties, and there are hundreds of millions of catties of sugarcane behind. If there is a way to expand the workers and cauldrons of the sugar factory I'm afraid that even if the sugar cane in our hands is rotten, the sugar has not been finished yet!"

Then Tian Feng calculated to Bao Xin: "Based on the calculation that we have 600 million catties of sugar cane, we need to use up to 3 million catties of sugar cane every day to consume all these sugar canes within [-] months."

Then Tian Feng pointed to this simple sugar factory and said, "Do you think 600 million catties of sugar cane can be used here every year?"

Hearing this, Bao Xin woke up from the joy of the harvest.Naturally, the efficiency of the sugar factory is more than 1 catties in half a day, which is why Bao Xin made it so slow in order to determine the output.However, according to Bao Xin's estimation, even if the sugar refinery produces 12 hours of uninterrupted sugar production, the amount of sugarcane it can consume in one day will not exceed 30 jin.At this time, as the sugarcane carriages continued to transport the sugarcane to the open space of the sugar factory, a mountain of sugarcane quickly piled up!

There are many workers and savages around the sugar factory, and there are many children. They are watching the hill around the factory here, looking forward to seeing the sugar cane drooling.

It's a pity that the sugar factory doesn't let them in. If those children enter the sugar factory, it will be a mess and extremely dangerous.

"There are still too few people in the sugar factory! I really hope that these children will grow up overnight!" Bao Xin obviously realized that something was wrong. Even if each person cuts 3 catties of sugar cane by 100 people, that is 300 million catties of sugar cane. , But now the sugar factory can't handle so much sugar cane at all!
Tian Feng immediately said: "The lieutenant should immediately send a letter to the imperial court to report the situation here, and let them send workers and enough large iron pots. Our sugar factory must be expanded by at least ten times. .”

"And the workers here can't all be used to chop sugarcane. Two-thirds of the workers will now start building a new sugar factory. Come, we can make sugar right away!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket, there are still 100 tickets left.
