Villager of Daming

Chapter 494: All edible and commercial uses (first update)
'啪~~啪~~' The sergeants who had eaten took their guns to the mountains to hunt, and they would help kill any prey that the hunters could not handle.

Wild boars, wolves, bears, and badgers were beaten when they encountered them, and they were used to boil oil for the people after beating them.

The craftsmen also took action, took their tools and went to the other side of the mountain, and started to do part of it today.

Some people were sick and just finished drinking the medicine, so they couldn't drink mutton soup, so people from Guanglu Temple made extra meals.

Children with angular cheilitis don't care about mouth pain at all. After drinking mutton soup, they seem to feel comfortable all over.

People in other counties chatted with each other with smiles on their faces.

They were all talking about His Highness King Qin, they were the happiest today, not only had a meal of mutton soup, but the things behind it were important.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qin are so young, they are not on guard against us!"

"How dare we assassinate him? His Royal Highness King Qin came to find a way for us to make money."

"The last time Shopkeeper Du asked us to try the soap, but I didn't have money to buy it, so King Qin gave it to me directly."

"Give me back two pieces of soap. I wash it with soap during the holidays. It smells good on my body."

"At first, we thought that the King of Qin would ask us for money. We are his fiefdom. We never thought that he would give us things."

"Give the soda flour, salt, and sweet oil this time, and return the land tax we paid."

"Let us pick more plums next year, grind them into powder and sell them outside, how can we sell them?"

"His Royal Highness is selling it, so we just do it. Have you seen it? His Royal Highness is very powerful, and he is better than Li Chang when he asks people to do things."

"I heard that the one who accompanied the crown prince and King Qin was also the head of the village. The older children from Xiaqiu Village, who showed our children their mouths, are from that village."

"Why is he so rich? The clothes he wears are beautiful, and he wears a pile of glass jewelry. I'm afraid those jewelry are worth a few brick houses!"

"The head of another village is good! You think it's the head of our village..."

"Hmm!" Someone coughed not far away: "Drink the soup when it's time to drink, or throw it away when it's cold? There's salt and pepper that we can't afford!"

"I know the chief." Several people responded together, turned their heads, looked at each other, and laughed again.

Obviously, everyone sits according to the village, and the village head will sit in the middle of his own village to dispatch.

The chiefs have heard that the prince and King Qin are accompanied by a person with the same "official position" as them.

When they were curious, they heard part of the words of the same village chief in a place not too far away. Is that what the village chief can say?
……

"There have always been people growing walnuts here, but they feel uncomfortable if they eat too much, and the oil is bitter, just like tea seed oil.

It is a technical issue. As long as everyone grows it, we will have a way to make the squeezed oil neither bitter nor astringent.

The tea seeds I told them to collect last time, I don’t know if they confiscated them, and they will be squeezed out of oil when they are transported to Xiaqiu Village.

If people still find the oily residue from the walnut oil squeezed bitter, it is also good to feed chickens.

Like other vegetable oil residues, it has a wide range of uses and can even be fermented in advance to become a good fertilizer. "

At the place where Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi were eating, Zhu Xi asked about walnuts, and Han Han mentioned that there are indeed walnut trees growing locally.

The head of the village followed all the way and was responsible for answering questions. First, he had to tell Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi why the people were unwilling to squeeze walnut oil and eat it, just like tea seeds.

After eating a few walnuts, I feel fragrant, but if I eat too much, I get tired, and there is a bitter taste in my mouth, and I even vomit.

Everyone actually knows how to use honey and sugar to make walnuts into candied fruits, but they lack honey and sugar.

In addition, the common people usually squeeze out walnut oil for lighting lamps. This needs to be squeezed in oil workshops, and ordinary villages do not have the conditions for oil extraction.

"I can harvest a lot of tea seeds this year, and then I will sell them at Ju Bi Qi?"

Zhu Yu didn't forget about this, the court ordered to harvest tea seeds, and tea seeds are not a good thing, and someone would pick them for the daily wages.

The rest belongs to the transportation cost, just these two costs, and then the crushing and subsequent processing.

Anyway, the tea seed oil provided by Xiaqiu Village is quite delicious. The oil used in the village is changed back and forth, and soybean oil is rarely used.

Either perilla oil or linseed oil, as well as rapeseed oil and tea seed oil, recently buckwheat oil is being made.

In the current team, I also change the oil I eat every day, and sometimes I also eat lard.

"The people of Ming Dynasty should be taught the method of refining, because the people of Ming Dynasty should be taught the method of refining, so that wherever there is tea, it will be processed on the spot.

In addition, even if people don't eat it, it's still good for us to make soap. The reason why Xiaqiu Village doesn't want to make soap and scented soap is that it consumes fuel.

If Xiaqiu Village were just merchants, things would be simple, and it would be cost-effective to make expensive soap and scented soap with cheap oil.

As for the people who eat oil in Daming as a whole, they have to pay extra, which has nothing to do with Xiaqiu Village. "

"Then shall we sell it or not?" Zhu Xi continued to ask the previous question after nodding repeatedly.

"Selling, the price is higher than normal oil, when people ask, they will say how good this oil is.

Then sell the method of processing oil, and even the equipment we made, and the businessman found that tea seed oil is more expensive than other oils.

After thinking about it again, the seeds of many kinds of tea are thrown away, which is free of charge.

Then you will be tempted to buy technology and equipment, and then squeeze the oil, and the oil residue can be sold again, making money! "

Li Chang came up with an idea, there is no point in harvesting tea seeds by yourself, you can eat enough for yourself, and sell it to the merchant for money.

Zhu Biao nodded: "It's a good way to let the businessman do something.

No matter who does it, no matter how the oil is finally sold, it must be within Daming.

We just need to continue to build soap factories and soap factories and collect oil. "

"Brother, if that's the case, why not build an oil mill to provide oil for the soap factory?" Zhu Xi felt that the cost should be saved.

"Second brother, you have an oil mill, and Jubiqi sells firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Where did you get that oil?"

Zhu Biao reminded his younger brother, you have your own business, should you open an additional factory?
"Ah! Yes, we have an oil mill, and we also have a feed mill and a fertilizer factory!" Zhu Xi remembered.

He turned his head and smiled: "Yes, let's let the local people grow walnuts, plum trees, and hawthorn trees. Others can't be used as firewood, ah! Walnut trees can be used as firewood.

Other useless trees should not be planed and used as firewood. There are many hills and few basins and plains, and economic trees are planted on the hills.

Farming can't be lost. If it's not possible, let's set up a small oil mill here, and people in a county can bring things to squeeze oil.

How much processing fee should we charge for taking the oil residue back to them for breeding?One-thirtieth? "

Zhu Xi thought of the processing fee while talking, one-thirtieth is the normal commercial tax and normal land tax ratio.

"If you set up a factory in the name of His Highness, you can't collect money from the people, you have to process it for free." The chief didn't laugh at Zhu Xi for thinking so far.

"Then what's the point? I don't care about giving it for free, I put money in it, and I always pay. Doesn't this king need to use other money to subsidize here?"

In fact, Zhu Xi just wanted to keep his capital, as long as he didn't pay for thirty-one cents of the money, equipment depreciation, etc.

"Second brother, ask the head of the village!" Zhu Biao reminded his younger brother, the expert is most familiar with this aspect.
