Chapter 284: Chicken Industry Chain
For the sake of the industrial chain, Meng Yi did not return to Zhaojiacun with Li Si and Feng Quji this time.
Meng Yi stayed in Xianyang City alone.
In the Meng Mansion, Meng Yi had been locked in the study for two days and two nights. Except when servants came to bring food and opened the door, the door was kept closed the rest of the time.
Meng Ao looked at the study with the door closed and sighed slightly.
"Maybe it's just that I'm getting old and can't keep up with young people's ideas."
At this time, the housekeeper came to Meng Ao and said respectfully: "Master, I have raised tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese according to Master Yi's wishes.
In addition, tens of thousands of sheep were purchased from herdsmen, and even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of wool were purchased from herdsmen. Now the government has just enough money and can no longer afford it. "
Meng Ao nodded and said: "I understand, go down and halve the expenses of the mansion for Meng Yi's use."
"Master, you can't." The butler said immediately, "How can we halve the expenses of the masters? How about halving the expenses of our servants."
"What are you talking about?" Meng Ao's face darkened, "Is our Meng family the kind of bully family that exploits others?"
"I don't dare." The butler immediately lowered his head and then explained, "Master, we can't ask the masters to reduce the fee every time. We should also be allowed to reduce the fee occasionally."
"Okay, why are you so long-winded? Just do whatever I ask you to do. Tell the people in the house that Master Yi has been busy with the Imperial Master's affairs recently.
The whole government must cooperate with Master Yi. They would rather reduce the cost of the government by half to complete the tasks assigned by Master Yi.
After all the money in the house was spent, the land and houses were sold, and Master Yi's mission must be completed. "Meng Zhuan said in a deep voice,
"No." The butler responded.
At this time, the door was opened, and a burst of heroic laughter came from the study.
"Ha ha……"
Meng Ao said excitedly: "Great, Meng Yi is out of seclusion."
Immediately, he walked excitedly to the study, and quickly arrived at the study in three steps and two steps, with the housekeeper following behind.
"Meng Yi, is it solved?" Meng Ao asked immediately.
Meng Yi nodded and said: "Yes, eldest father. I finally know what the industrial chain is and how important the industrial chain is to the imperial court."
"Okay, great." Meng Ao said excitedly, "You tell me what to do now. Don't worry, everyone in the Meng Mansion will fully cooperate."
Meng Yi shook his head and said: "Uncle, you have cooperated with me. You bought a lot of poultry for me, and that's enough."
Meng Ao nodded and said: "That's good. As long as I can help you. People from Li Si and Feng Quji have sent people to say hello and ask you to go back as soon as possible."
Meng Ao knew where to go back, to His Majesty and the Imperial Master, so he also wanted Meng Yi to go back as soon as possible.
Meng Yi said casually: "I know, ignore them, I can't leave just yet."
"Why?"
Meng Ao really couldn't think of anything more important than accompanying Ying Zheng and accompanying the emperor's master.
Meng Yi replied: "I want to verify my idea."
"What are you going to do?"
"It's very simple. Didn't I buy a lot of chickens, ducks and geese? We will use chickens for verification."
"Okay, how do you verify it? Everyone in the house will cooperate with you." Meng Ao said with a smile.
Meng Yi nodded and said: "His Majesty asked me to be responsible for the production chain. What I already know now should be said to be the industrial chain based on my understanding.
Father, let’s test it with a chicken.
When we raise chickens from an early age, the first thing we need to pay attention to is feed.
If the family only raises a dozen chickens, there is no production chain. As we bought, the family already has tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese.
But you don’t need that many, just a few thousand or even hundreds of chickens can form an industrial chain.
Feed for a thousand chickens is not a small sum of money, but where can I find this feed? "
Meng Yi's words made Meng Ao frown slightly and said: "That's true, where can I find this feed?
Butler, now we have tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese. What do we feed them? "
The housekeeper said in embarrassment: "Replying to the master, I specially sent people to catch bugs to feed the chickens, ducks and geese. But now that it is autumn, the bugs are much less, so I can only use food instead."
"Huh?" Meng Ao frowned slightly, "Using grain? These people don't even have enough to eat, so you feed them grain. It's really too much.
Meng Yi, can we reduce some of the chickens, tens of thousands, which is too much. "
Meng Yi smiled and said: "Dad, the first step in this industrial chain is feed, why has no one set up a feed workshop?
As long as there is a feed workshop, all chicken and duck raisers can buy directly from them, and they no longer have to worry about feed. "
"That seems to be the case." Meng Ao said, "Anyway, if you raise chickens yourself, it will cost money to feed the chickens. Even if you don't buy them from others, you still have to spend money.
Instead of doing this, it is better to buy chicken feed directly to save time, effort and money. "
"My eldest father is right. And the most important thing is that the people have one more job." Meng Yi said.
Meng Ao nodded and said: "That's true. A feed workshop should be able to find jobs for at least ten people."
"It depends on how many people raise chickens." Meng Yi said, "After talking about the feed, we should talk about the medicine for the chickens. We will use poultry medicine instead.
With so many chickens raised, we don’t want the chickens in the chicken farm to get chicken disease. Therefore, poultry medicine is needed, and poultry medicine needs to be researched and produced. All of this requires money and workers.
Next is raising chickens. There are two types of chickens, one is free-range and the other is closed.
We are kept in a cage. It only takes forty-five to sixty days for such chickens to grow from newly hatched chicks to broilers.
If it is free-range, it is between two months and three months.
After the chickens are raised, they are sold.
There are many types of sales, one is selling live chickens directly, and the other is selling slaughtered chickens.
In the past, we would have sold live chickens, but now that we have the icehouse, we can directly slaughter and sell them.
Meat may be a very luxurious thing for most people. That is because everyone has no money to buy meat, and there are very few people raising chickens, so the price of chickens is also very high.
Now we have tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, so for us, as long as we calculate the cost, set the price based on the cost, and add in Mr.’s secret cooking recipe, I believe our chickens will be sold soon. .
Even if we can't sell it to the people, we can still sell it to the court. Now the court needs a lot of meat to train soldiers. Mr.'s military training manual has very high requirements for food. "
"Sir, can you still train troops?"
"Of course, Lord Wei Liaozi is training troops now." Meng Yi said, "Uncle, in the chicken industry chain, there is also eggs, which can be regarded as a side branch. Eggs have an egg industry chain."
Some people died, but not completely...
