Chapter 733 Development Direction
After Han Xin and others arrived at Meng Tian's tent, Meng Tian asked them to sit down one after another.
"Everyone, I have called you here. Firstly, I want to give my brother Meng Yi a clean slate. Many of you have already met him, so I won't introduce him further."
"Second Major General Meng, he is smarter than the marshal." A general laughed.
Everyone looked at this general and knew that he was a veteran and was very familiar with the Meng family. He might be a general of the Meng family.
Another young general said: "Marshal, you don't need to introduce me. We don't know each other about the Meng Yi brothers. It's just that we didn't know during the day. Only Han Xin accompanied the marshal to welcome you. This is my fault."
This young general is Wang Ben’s son, Wang Li
"Yes, it's our fault."
Everyone admitted their mistake for a moment, and Han Xin instantly knew that Meng Yi's status in the army was very high, on the same level as Marshal Meng Tian. Is this the Meng family army, the Meng family's army?
Meng Yi smiled and said, "Thank you all for your love. If I were here alone, I would definitely get drunk with everyone tonight.
However, I came here today on the orders of His Majesty, so I cannot enjoy myself tonight. I ask all my uncles and brothers to forgive me. "
The young general Wang Li stood up and said, "Meng Yi, don't say that. Everything is business. You can drink at any time."
"That's right. You can drink at any time. Now it's business. I heard that the Emperor's Master is leaving the mountain. You should welcome the Emperor's Master with his Majesty." Meng Tian said.
"Brother is right, so I will only stay in the prairie for two months. During these two months, I will arrange everything and then return to Xianyang City." Meng Yi said.
Han Xin said: "Lord Meng Yi. Please feel free to give me your orders. The generals present will definitely assist Lord Meng Yi with all their strength."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"Meng Yi thanks you all, generals." Meng Yi raised his glass, "I would like to toast you all, generals."
"Dry."
Everyone raised their glasses at the same time and drank the wine in one gulp.
Immediately, loud laughter erupted from the tent, making the guards outside the door look at each other. It had been a long time since they heard such hearty laughter from the marshal and generals.
In the camp, Meng Yi put down his wine glass and said, "You generals should have heard that I am here to arrange things on the grassland."
Wang Li said: "We have all heard about it, Meng Yi, just tell me what you think."
Meng Yi nodded and said: "Actually, there are many tribes on the grassland. They wanted to join the Qin Dynasty before, but they were always controlled by the Xiongnu. But now the Xiongnu have been completely driven away.
In this life, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to come back, so the territory of Great Qin has once again expanded by more than double.
However, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the large area is suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses. Therefore, Your Majesty ordered me to divide the grassland into more than a dozen areas, and these areas are all suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses.
There are still many areas where markets can be established, and where there are markets, various workshops can be established.
At the same time, I will also build a lot of windmills. These windmills can be used as stone mills and can also be used to generate electricity, but I will give these to the Mohists and Gongshu people.
Here, I will keep it a secret for everyone. Now I will mainly talk about a few special cities that will develop. They will become important transit points on the Silk Road, and also important transit points for Daqin and the countries in the Western Regions. That is Jiuquan County .
Near Jiuquan County is the Qilian Mountains, which is a good place and worth investing in. So this time I brought a lot of businessmen.
They will invest there, and if you are interested, you can also participate. This will not start until the map of Jiuquan County is obtained.
First of all, all areas will be invested in the form of auctions. For example, if I want to invest in a restaurant in Jiuquan, I have to bid with the other party. The bidding method is very simple, just to see who has the higher bid. "
Wang Li said: "We don't have that much money, and we can't compare with those businessmen."
Korea
The letter said: "I am dissatisfied with Mr. Meng Yi. I was born in a poor family and have no money to invest in Jiuquan County. I can only give up the idea of investing in Jiuquan County. However, I am very interested in raising cattle, sheep and horses. Can you tell me about it?"
"That's right." The veteran said, "Among the uncles present, besides Wang Li, who has a lot of money in his family? Don't you know?"
Wang Li immediately said: "I don't have any money either. All that money belongs to my father, not mine. No, it should be said to belong to the entire Wang family. My father has to think carefully before I use it."
Meng Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, just because we consider that we don't have that much money, we plan to let everyone be responsible for raising cattle, sheep and horses."
"We're not good at this either," the veteran said.
"There is no need to be good at it. You can let the people in your clan learn from the Huns herdsmen, and there are also books from the imperial masters to learn from. Of course, if you don't want to learn, you can leave it to the herdsmen entirely.
I will divide a dozen breeding farms, among which all the generals present have a breeding farm. This breeding farm is not given to you for free but has to be paid.
This money is called grass rent or land rent, and the amount is not high, only one hundred taels of silver.
However, although there are said to be more than a dozen breeding farms, they occupy a very large area and will definitely change in the future. I will make this clear to everyone in advance.
In addition, you can be responsible for finding the herdsmen on the farms yourself, and I will give you some skills, such as making wool, cashmere, dried meat, milk powder, etc.
You must have tried sweaters and jerky. Wear warm clothes. You have also tried jerky. Some are very hard. There are also soft ones that taste very delicious.
The price is very cheap. A piece of meat the size of a fingernail only costs a penny, but a child can eat such a large piece of meat for half a day.
So jerky is very popular now, so you don’t have to worry about sales.
Next is milk powder. There are three types of milk powder, one is goat milk powder, one is cow milk powder, and the other is camel milk powder.
Milk powder is made from cow's milk, goat's milk, and camel. I can also give you the method, but there is one thing. This milk powder needs to be sold by me.
In addition, the milk powder needs to be made strictly according to my formula, otherwise the nutrition will not meet the standards, which can only harm the people.
The emperor said that after having milk powder, children can grow very fast, tall and strong if they drink it every day.
In the future, the next generation of China will be taller, stronger and stronger. "
"It's so good. I wonder if Lord Meng Yi has brought it?" Han Xin asked.
"It's true. Your Majesty gave it to the army as a reward. We brought a total of 10,000 cans. Now let all the soldiers have a drink, and everyone can have a taste by the way." Meng Yi said.
