Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 515 This is an Industrial Raw Material
Looking at this rather bold statement, Yang Reform couldn't help but praise Tian Hongyu, and couldn't help feeling that this thing came to him half a day earlier, and the result would be completely different.

Now I am not afraid that there are too many sweet potatoes of 30 mu. Even if the brewed wine is indeed a bit scary, I will still support Tian Hongyu in doing this. There is nothing else. Industrialization is about to start, and industrialization is a steady stream of commodities It is produced from the factory and sold to all parts of the country and all over the world. This is industrialization. If I used to be afraid of sales problems, but now I am not afraid at all.

With the maritime trading network, I can dump these wines to North Korea and Japan. The problem of sales is immediately opened. I heard that Japan has always had the habit of drinking alcohol. Selling wine to them is a good choice.In this way, in addition to the original Mongols, Hetian Hongyu added the frontier soldiers and ordinary people in the north, and now North Korea and Japan, plus the southern market, such a large market, there is no The reason is that the wine brewed from 30 mu of sweet potatoes cannot be sold.

Extending a little further, this industrialization has always been said to be an industrial chain and deep processing. It is a new way to deep process these sweet potato raw materials into alcohol... If you pair these sweet potato wines with glass bottles as gifts If the gifts are not available, then our country's "research" culture will have to take a big step forward.Thinking of the huge gift-giving market for baijiu in the future, Yang Reform felt that there were not enough sweet potatoes.

Yang Reform just tried to think of a way out for this wine, and the solution was pushed a lot. Thinking about the problem with an industrialized thinking, it really has no disadvantages, and it really knows everything.

"Old man..." Yang Reform asked with a smile, and after thinking about it for a while, Yang Reform decided that this thing is worth affirming, and that the wine industry is worthy of great investment.

"The minister is here!" Tian Hongyu looked at the emperor hopefully, and he was relieved when he saw the emperor kept praising him. Back then, he boasted in front of those people, so much so that he boasted in Haikou, claiming that he would plant 30 mu of The sweet potato came to make wine, and afterward he became afraid again, for fear that the emperor would get angry. Now it seems that he has passed the test, and his suspenseful heart finally calmed down.

"I really appreciate the courage of my father-in-law. He really does great things. However, your 30 mu of sweet potatoes is not enough?" Yang Reform said with a smile.Yang Reform's vision no longer stays at the level of agriculture, but treats sweet potatoes as an industrial raw material and an industrial product, and the result is completely different from treating sweet potatoes as an agricultural product. Although 30 mu of sweet potatoes is a lot, from an agricultural point of view, it is indeed a large number, enough to shock many people, but once sweet potatoes are regarded as industrial raw materials, this is not enough. Thinking about the industrial raw materials in the future, that is not based on Is the unit of calculation 30 tons?Once these [-] mu of sweet potato raw materials are sent to the factory, how many days can they be produced?How many industrial products are produced?

"Ah! Not enough?" Tian Hongyu was about to faint. He said that the 30 taels was all a bragging. He was afraid that the emperor would not agree with him planting so many sweet potatoes, but unexpectedly, when it came to the emperor, The 30 mu is less, this...Tian Hongyu really didn't dare to think how many sweet potatoes the emperor wanted to plant, Tian Hongyu's mind went blank...

"Well, it is indeed a little less. I think, what's the matter, it needs to be 50 mu. This year is just a small test. If it is not enough, I am afraid that I will have to add more in the future. The father-in-law reclaims wasteland and farms himself. I think it is really necessary..." Yang Reform said happily.Looking at the same thing from the perspective of industry and agriculture, the angle of thinking and the conclusions drawn are really very different. Once something is related to industrial raw materials, there is not enough.

"...50 mu..." Tian Hongyu was really dumbfounded, this is too much, how many fields does it take?How much wine does this have to brew?
"...Your Majesty, isn't this too much?..." Tian Hongyu didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was too much. He felt that even if the emperor made a move, the deal would definitely fail.

"A lot? I didn't kid you. I saw that you submitted a note saying that you rented someone else's field to grow sweet potatoes for two or three dollars. The 50 mu of land is only more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. How much? You Then calculate the profit of this wine, one mu of land is two hundred catties of wine, at least one catty of wine can be sold for a hundred cash, and one mu of land at least costs 20 taels. Four taels of silver is not a problem, but you said it yourself, this 50 mu is worth two million taels of silver, so you are not tempted?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. [The price of wine is directly proportional to the price of food. When the food is expensive, the price of wine is higher. If the food is cheap, for example, one tael of silver buys two stones of grain, and the price of this wine is only twenty or thirty yuan . 】

Tian Hongyu's mind went blank. Sure enough, even if he was bragging, he couldn't keep up with the emperor. The 30 mu that he had scared himself to death was still less than the emperor's. It was too scary, he was afraid.

"...I am terrified. The 30 mu of sweet potato fields should be able to produce 6000 million catties of wine. I am really afraid!" Tian Hongyu was terrified. In the village, it has become a monster that eats people, and the emperor doesn't even think about it, who will sell so much wine to drink, that's 6000 million catties of wine!The whole of Daming has a manpower of one catty. Now he is not sure whether the emperor is really telling him something serious, or because he has blown up the field too much. The emperor laughed angrily and deliberately told him irony...

"It doesn't matter, this wine is not too much. I think my father-in-law has a good vision. I said that I would sell it to the Mongolians. My father-in-law knew that he wanted to sell the wine to the frontier soldiers and ordinary people. There is still a sense of finding a market. Yes, but I still want to say that my father-in-law’s eyesight is a little lacking. My father-in-law just focused on the frontier army and the common people in the north, but my father-in-law never thought about selling wine to North Korea and Japan. Do you want to go? Don’t you drink alcohol in the south?” Yang Reformed enlightened this old man who was getting more and more courageous.

"Ah!..." Tian Hongyu looked at the emperor in surprise, and looked at the emperor's warm smile like spring. This time, he was convinced that the emperor was not so angry and told himself that he sold the wine to North Korea and Japan, and took the wine by sea. Selling to the south, this is indeed something he had never thought about. When the emperor said this, he felt that he might really have a business eye, but he was still not as good as the emperor.

"...Does the old man know about alcohol?" Yang Reform asked again, now that Yang Reform has figured it out, don't mix these things with industrial raw materials, once they touch them, the amount will increase exponentially.

"Return to Your Majesty, I know something..." Tian Hongyu thought for a while before replying.He knows what alcohol is. It is said that it is a new thing made by Ouchi. What he also knows is that Liulizhai can use this thing. It is said that it will be used when sealing that glass tube, and there are some doctors nowadays. Doctors also use this when they see a doctor. It is said that after rubbing this thing, the wound heals faster and the flesh grows faster.

"It's over now. Sweet potatoes can be used to make wine, and even alcohol. Nowadays, the demand for alcohol is increasing. If we can plant a large number of sweet potatoes and lower the price of alcohol, the demand for alcohol will be even greater. Big, so, your 50 mu of sweet potatoes is still missing..." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty understands, I need His Majesty's advice, I am so enlightened, Your Majesty is indeed a sage..." Tian Hongyu was encouraged by the emperor, and he had nothing to fear. With the emperor's backing, he had all the ways he could think of. What are you afraid of?

"Well, go ahead and do it. I'm optimistic about you. You need to be more confident, just like you used to make clothes. You didn't dare to accept the order of 80 cotton-padded clothes. Are you still afraid now?" Yang Reform asked again with a smile .

"Return to Your Majesty, I'm not afraid at all. Now that there are another 200 million sets, I still feel that there are too few clothes. Now I don't have so many clothes to make..." Tian Hongyu's aura suddenly changed when he said this, He became confident and calm, his chest straightened out, and his head lifted up, showing an ambitious look.

"That's the end of it. The 50 mu of sweet potatoes are only rented for more than a hundred thousand taels of silver, and the money earned is in the millions. Even if the brewed wine cannot be sold, it is good for storage. It is said that the wine The longer it gets, the more fragrant it will become. Even if not all of them are used to make wine, today’s disasters are severe, and there are many people who can’t eat. It’s a good thing if sweet potatoes can be used to relieve the disaster. Therefore, as long as 50% of the sweet potatoes planted are turned into wine. Profit means making a lot of money, and this business is worth doing, so the more sweet potato fields the better..." Yang Reform made a final decision and set the number of acres of sweet potato fields that Tian Hongyu rented to 50 mu. To be honest, This [-] mu is really not much, and now a big landlord's land is more than that.

"I understand, I understand the order!" Tian Hongyu was so excited that his whole body trembled as if he had received the rain.

"By the way, I just mentioned the matter of making clothes. I think of a business. Master Xu immigrated in Shanghai and needs a large number of mosquito nets. You can do this business. A family of five needs two to three mosquito nets. If it is a million immigrants, I am afraid that 60 mosquito nets will be needed. You can discuss this business with Master Xu..." Yang Reform remembered something and said again.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. I will do my best to fulfill the errands assigned by your majesty." Tian Hongyu accepted the business with a relaxed and composed expression, 60 yuan?It's a piece of cake!Do you dare to make another 60 tops?

Yang Reform focused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "My father-in-law! I think it's good for you to open up wasteland and cultivate land by yourself. You have a good vision. This must be taken seriously. I think if others know that you have made a fortune growing sweet potatoes , I am afraid that the land price will increase, so it is necessary to open up wasteland and cultivate land by yourself, and only when the land is in your own hands can you have capital, you know?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I understand that I must step up to open up wasteland and strive to open up more land. Fortunately, I grow sweet potatoes, which are drought-tolerant. Even if it is a mountainous area, I can still have a harvest. There is no need to compete with rice and wheat. Even if they want to raise the price of the minister, the minister will not let them do so." Tian Hongyu immediately vowed that one of the great advantages of sweet potatoes is that they are drought-resistant and easy to grow, which is different from traditional sweet potatoes. Grain competes for land, and it can be harvested in barren mountains and wasteland. Naturally, he is not afraid of someone raising his land price.

"Well, that's good. By the way, the imperial association army outside the pass is getting better now. With me attacking the elite, the place next to the side wall outside the pass is considered peaceful now. If the old man wants to open up wasteland, he might as well go outside the pass. Go and try, for example, Xifengkou, outside Zhangjiakou, which are basically under my control now, the food planting may be too conspicuous, afraid of attracting people's attention, if it is sweet potatoes, it is not afraid, even if it is lost, it is nothing, this We have to hurry up." Yang Reform remembered something, and ordered Tian Hongyu again.

"Your Majesty... Well, Your Majesty, aren't you allowed to leave the customs now? Why are you still planting sweet potatoes outside the customs?" Tian Hongyu asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I'm not allowed to leave the customs now. I'm afraid that someone will inform Donglu. This situation will not last forever. When I Chao and Donglu have a winner in Liaodong, outside this pass, the Mongolian prairie will also It’s just that my Ming family is the only one, so I can do whatever I want. My father-in-law is going to plant some sweet potatoes, who dares to stop me? Although it’s bitter and cold outside the customs, there are also lands with abundant water and grass. If you want to open up wasteland, the fields are worth tens of thousands of mu. Such a cheap thing, of course, has to be planned in advance, and when I really defeated Donglu, the lands outside the pass may not be so easy to deal with..." Yang Reform said with a smile, Yang Reform found that the land outside the pass The "farming war" must also be planned in advance. If you fight against the wild boar skin, the winner will be determined this year. If you win this year, the wild boar skin will go downhill. His power and influence will gradually increase. Of course, Yang Reform does not expect to completely wipe out the wild boar skin in the first battle this year. It will definitely be a long-term process, and the problem cannot be solved in a year.Taking control of the outside of the customs and occupying the territory should be the only choice for Yang Reform. He will never use the border as a line of defense like other emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Incorporate it into its own territory. Therefore, the development outside the customs must be planned in advance. To conquer the entire desert grassland, naturally, this food must be produced nearby, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer it from the south. Therefore, this "cultivation—— "War" must be combined, must be unified, and must keep up. Wherever the war is fought, the potatoes must be planted, and the fields must be planted. Yang Reform will never let go of a piece of land. In the future, they will all be resources and capital.

"Ah!..." Tian Hongyu was stunned again, what else to say?The emperor's vision was several times farther than his, and he was already thinking about what to do after defeating Donglu. After thinking about it, Tian Hongyu felt that the emperor might be right. It is beneficial to Daming, but Tian Hongyu believes that the emperor will definitely be able to defeat the Donglu. Thinking about it again, I am afraid that, as the emperor said, the battle will be decided this year. Once the outcome is known, if Daming wins, the emperor will control the border With a large number of imperial association troops, this safety is really guaranteed. It is very different from the previous situation outside the pass. It is indeed very necessary to plan some land in advance. Even if it is too safe now, the land will not be far away. The emperor said that Xifengkou and Zhangjiakou are planning some land. Even if there is something wrong, there are Mangui and His Majesty’s Imperial Army in front. It’s okay to run away. Whoever wants to dig sweet potatoes can dig them. , It's not worth a few dollars anyway.I also thought that my business is to do business with the Mongolians, and selling wine is a big item. I really need to plan in advance to plan some places to grow sweet potatoes nearby.

"Thank you for your majesty's suggestion. I understand that I will never disappoint your majesty's good intentions. I will definitely fulfill your majesty's instructions..." Tian Hongyu thanked you gratefully. The emperor's suggestion was really beneficial. Just a word is enough for a person to use for a lifetime, who would have thought that those places outside the pass would be owned by Daming in the future?Who would have thought that there were a large number of imperial association troops controlled by the emperor outside the pass?The situation today is completely different from the past!

……

Sending away Tian Hongyu who came unexpectedly, Yang Reform made another entry in his five-year plan: the production of wine should reach a certain number in a certain year, the production of alcohol should exceed a certain level, and further support the controllable The "Cultivation War" business group gradually wiped out the outside of the customs, and made all preparations for occupying a wider land. The land under the sun and the moon should belong to the Ming Dynasty, so that it can live up to the name of the Ming Dynasty...

Yang Reform wrote this heavily, and Wang Chengen outside the door reminded: "Your Majesty, the Duke of England is here, but do you want to see him?"

"See you!" Yang Reform said immediately, taking away his five-year plan, leaving only one map.

"Minister Zhang Weixian kowtows to His Majesty." The British Duke Zhang Weixian saluted respectfully, with a smile on his face. He was so happy with the emperor that he couldn't even laugh if he didn't want to. The emperor gave him a little advice a few days ago, and he benefited a lot and made a lot of money. , but now he firmly follows the emperor.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down. I was delayed a little bit by something just now, but I kept the Duke waiting for a long time." Yang Reform said with a smile, the cooperation with the British Duke was perfect, and now these nobles have become his a great help.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't dare to be a minister. The minister has just arrived. Your Majesty killed the minister." The British Duke immediately smiled modestly.

"Hehehe..., I am not humble anymore, the Duke knows, what is the purpose of summoning the Duke today?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know, and I don't dare to guess." Zhang Weixian smiled modestly. It must be a good thing for the emperor to call him. When the emperor asked him to come, did he return empty-handed?
"Hehehe, the Duke is being modest. I summoned the Duke to ask, how is the Duke preparing for the maritime trade matter I mentioned earlier? Is anyone willing to take a share?" Yang Reform smiled. asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have already made preparations and waited for His Majesty's words. Now, everyone is working hard and ready to follow His Majesty." Zhang Weixian's dim eyes were full of light, and now he Follow the emperor to make money, that is to make money softly, and make him feel more alive the more he lives, the more energetic he is.The sea trade business was promised by the emperor before the salt merchants, and now, it's time to make a fortune.

"Hehehe, it's easy to say. Recently, I have been held back by all kinds of chores, and my mind has not been on it. Now, it should be about the maritime trade..." Yang Reform said with a smile.
