Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 156 Development of Xi Village

Spices, dogwood, soybeans, pottery pots, and crafts are all available.Thousands of people in the Yangzhou farm immediately entered into intense production. In order to ensure that the secret recipe was not leaked, the road to the village was blocked. For this reason, Sun Xiangfu also specially greeted the warrior Xun, and the warrior Xun himself also came Inspected the farm.

"Your salted fish bean paste tastes really good. As long as the price is not high, the common people will be happy to eat it." In the bowl, several kinds of prepared bean paste were tried one by one by the samurai. Among them, the most delicious He didn't praise the spiced sea fish sauce, but he praised the ordinary salted fish bean paste. It can be seen that the samurai Xun not only had business wisdom in his early years of business, but also political wisdom.

"Of course it won't be too expensive. At that time, I will set a wholesale price of [-] cents a catty, and the retail price of merchants who restrict distribution shall not exceed [-]% of the cost price. People can buy this kind of per catty in the market. The price of salted fish bean paste should not exceed [-] yuan, but it is much more cost-effective than buying salt."

The ratio of salted fish to soybeans in a catty of soy sauce is almost two to eight. Salted fish costs 120 cents per catty, and soybeans cost [-] cents per catty. On the whole, the cost is less than ten pennies.

The salt content in the salted fish pulled from Lingnan is particularly high, and the salt used is refined sea salt, which tastes much better than the coarse salt in the Datang market. This salted fish bean paste is bought by ordinary people. It can be eaten as salt. Even if you buy it at the highest price of [-] yuan a catty, it is cheaper than buying coarse salt. After all, there may not be much salt in a catty of coarse salt that can be absorbed by people, but the price is as high as five or six. More than ten essays, more than a hundred essays.

"Well, this business is done."

Hearing this, the warrior Xun nodded in satisfaction. If a businessman wants to grow big, he must do things that benefit the country and the people. Sun Xiangfu has kept the price so low and still has such a high profit. Of course, this is a good business for you. .

"Mr. Ying, don't forget, you have [-]% of this!" Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

Yangzhou Wangjianglou branch is certainly profitable, but the real profit point is on the farm outside the city. How many millions of shi of soybeans will be made into soy sauce?He is very confident that this salted fish and soybean paste will spread all over the country's market, and even export a large number of foreign countries, because in this era, apart from Tuyuhun and Khotan, two major salt-producing countries, there is no country or tribe that does not lack salt, and it is still This is a good salt that can be eaten directly.

Sun Xiangfu will eat this kind of fat for the warriors who are really committed to him, but he will not eat it for the four major families in Yangzhou. They may make a little money on this matter, but they must also contribute their own energy. With them, it can only be regarded as cooperation of interests.

Sun Xiangfu put the bean paste workshop in Yangzhou, which will definitely bring a lot of business opportunities to Yangzhou. With more merchants, Yangzhou’s taxation will definitely increase. With the prosperity of business, people will buy more here. More and more complete commodities, as a major transfer station on the canal, it is inevitable for Yangzhou's economy to reach a higher level.

Another two days of busy work on the pots and pans, when the patients in the fleet are almost recovered, the fleet must set off, and the emperor is still waiting for everyone to go back and give orders!
Before leaving, the samurai Xun and members of the four major families all came to see him off. Wu Shunniang and Wu Meiniang also came with them. Sun Xiangfu didn't let them come in vain. I was overjoyed, and as for Wu Yuanqing, who was whipped by the warrior Xun at home, he should never dare to have any thoughts about Sun Xiangfu in the future.

Unlike the Happiness, the official ships of the imperial court and the ships from Lingnan travel slowly against the current, and often rely on trackers to pull them. Therefore, when the fleet arrives in Luoyang, it is almost the end of September. Sun Xiangfu, who came to Luoyang for three days, inspected the situation of the Luoyang branch, and called a meeting of the management.

The management rights of the Luoyang branch are also not given to the local major shareholders. The performance team and the kitchen team are all sent by the Changan head office. Only the waiter team is recruited and trained on the spot. Anyway, the kitchen and performance team are under control. Yes, it doesn't hurt to be learned by others.

Sun Xiangfu appointed a person named Zhang Wanchun to temporarily manage the operation of the Luoyang branch. He was recommended by Chang Sun Chong. He had temporarily managed the Chang'an head office for a period of time, and the operation was not bad. The performing arts team was led by Yao Hongxiu to train artists. When it opened, the newly selected actors of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen will play the play The Legend of the White Snake from the beginning on the stage of the Luoyang store. Yao Hongxiu expressed no pressure on the original cast brought from Chang’an after performing for more than half a year. , Their main task in Luoyang is to train newcomers.

The ancients were not fools. As long as the things in these performances are on the track, everyone will know how to do them. Sun Xiangfu’s focus is still on the farm outside the city. After the two-day management meeting in Chang’an, Sun Xiangfu took The guards came to Xicun.

"Village Chief, it's been almost half a year since you've been away, and we miss you so much."

Wang Erniu greeted Sun Xiangfu at the entrance of the village, and smiled while leading him into the village.

In half a year, Xi Village has undergone great changes. First of all, the whole village has been built with brick houses and a cement drying field. Sun Xiangfu saw rows of houses far away beside the pond. He knew that it was Chicken farms and pig farms.

"You're not thinking about me, you're thinking about ideas that can make you rich!"

Sun Xiangfu smiled back and asked, "How is the harvest in the field this year?"

"It's okay. The yield of wheat per mu is about four stones. The county magistrate is very happy. The melon seeds sent by Chang'an have been planted in Erli along the river. Now I can invite you to try something new."

Xicun has a lot of land near water, and Chang'an is so dry that it is impossible to grow melons, but they can be grown here. Sun Erli came to Luoyang in June to teach them how to plant them. Now two or three months have passed, and they have just reached maturity.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and Wang Erniu cut up several large watermelons weighing more than ten kilograms with a knife. Sun Xiangfu, Xi Junmai and other guards ate a few pieces, and the taste was not bad.

"The melons planted early are sour, and the melons planted late are sweet. Your melons can fetch a good price in Chang'an."

In September, Chang'an is already very cold, but it is also a good choice to eat sweet watermelon at this time, because when the autumn leaves fall, there are almost no fruits on the market.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that other aspects will not be able to meet the consumption of the Luoyang store." Wang Erniu scratched his head happily when he saw Sun Xiangfu boasting about the sweetness of the melons they grew in Xicun, but the pig and chicken farms in Xicun were only ready. It didn't take long for the piglets and chickens to grow, so I was worried.

"Don't worry! This year, the fish farms, pig farms, and chicken farms in Chang'an have a lot of output, and they will be directly pulled to Luoyang by boat, but next year your output here must keep up. The Luoyang store should consume at least three Five pigs and more than a hundred chickens are all provided by you." Sun Xiangfu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief while talking, and then walked to the pig house by the pond, followed by Wang Erniu.

The piggery in Xi Village is not small, and it is not a problem to raise thousands of pigs. The place here is much larger than Xingfu Village, and there are more people. The piglets are looked after by a young man named Zhao Shi, who is said to be Zhao Da’s nephew. Dazhuan called from his hometown to Chang'an, and followed Zhao Daxue to raise pigs for a period of time.

"Village head, the piglets cultivated in our Happy Village are willing to grow meat, and they have already weighed seventy to eighty catties in more than two months." Zhao Shi pointed to the hundreds of half-sized piglets in the pigpen.

In later generations, pigs of a good breed can grow to more than 160 catties in three to four months. The pig breeds in Xingfu Village are obviously not good enough, and it takes nearly half a year to grow to 150 catties. However, Sun Xiangfu is not an expert in this area, he can only Based on limited crops, create more nutritious feed for pigs.

Now that the price of food has fallen sharply, the cost of raising pigs has also dropped, but the market demand for meat is still increasing. The prospect of raising pigs is bright. Sun Xiangfu thinks that the scale of raising pigs can be expanded.

"Well, it's good, but you can't just point to Chang'an to send you piglets. You can also buy piglets in the surrounding area. Pigs in different places may have different habits. Pigs from two places are crossed together. It may not be possible to breed pigs that are more willing to grow meat.

So, don't just think about learning your uncle's breeding methods, you have to think about how to surpass him, Er Niu, I will pay enough money, if the pig farm in Xicun can produce [-] pigs this year, I will give you money One hundred guan, if you can breed a pig with more meat than Changan, I will reward you with five hundred guan. "

What Sun Xiangfu said seemed to open another door for Zhao Shi. In fact, many breeding and scientific research units in later generations competed in this way. Whoever has the best pig breed can occupy the market and obtain the largest profit. It has led scientific researchers to continuously study new breeding methods and breeding techniques, and finally meet the needs of people all over the country to eat meat.

After seeing the pig farm, Sun Xiangfu went to see the chicken farm. The fish farm in the middle is actually nothing to see. Xicun has running water to increase oxygen in the fish pond. The branch stores supply it, and there are no fish farms in Luoyang like Guanzhong, so the fish here don’t even need pig manure and chicken manure to breed, and the fish and grass harvested by the villagers are enough to feed them.

At the same time, Wang Erniu also implemented Sun Xiangfu's policy of common prosperity. While Xicun developed, he did not forget to promote the development of surrounding villages, and collected fish, grass, and pig vegetables from farmers in surrounding villages, so that they could earn some extra income. It should be, after the chicken farms and pig farms expand again, fields dedicated to growing pig vegetables and fish grass will be born.

Chickens reproduce much faster than pigs, especially after the second and third generations of high-yielding chickens came out. Every month, Xingfu Village alone can hatch tens of thousands of chicks. The survival rate of [-] chicks is more than [-]%. Now the big feathers of those chickens have grown, and they will be able to lay eggs or eat meat in a short time. I believe that by next year, there will be another large chicken with a scale of hundreds of thousands. chicken farm.

Some people may think that a chicken farm with hundreds of thousands of chickens is too big, but these chickens are enough for each person in Luoyang City to eat one chicken. Do people in Luoyang City only eat one chicken per year? ?Impossible, so even if the size of the chicken farm is expanded ten or twenty times, it still cannot meet the market demand. To let the residents of the city buy chickens at the vegetable market at any time like in later generations, at least There is a chicken farm with an annual output of tens of millions of chickens.

　On the first day of 2018, there will definitely be changes. However, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, rewards and so on. Just pointing to the data of the previous few days to make a base, I will try my best to sort out all the manuscripts needed during the Spring Festival before going back, and the update can be guaranteed.
