Chapter 734: The Emperor’s Business
Then, the guards brought more than a dozen glasses of milk, pure white milk, and the unique aroma of milk instantly filled the entire tent.
The guard gave everyone a glass of milk, including Meng Yi.
Meng Yi picked up the cup and said, "This is made from milk powder. The water temperature for soaking the milk should not be too high or too low. It feels a little hot on the hand, but it just melts into your mouth when you drink it.
According to Emperor Shi, the water temperature is between 40 and 50 degrees. If it is too high, it will damage the nutritional value of the milk powder; if it is too low, it will not be able to dissolve.
Now you guys have a drink and try it. "
After hearing this, everyone picked up the milk cup. Some people looked at it first and then drank the milk.
Some people stuck out their tongues and licked it first, and found that it tasted good, so they drank it in one gulp.
Soon everyone finished the milk, and everyone drank the last drop of milk in the cup without finishing.
Meng Yi said: "Everyone has drank milk powder, right? How does it taste?"
"It tastes very good." The veteran said, "But, will this really make the juniors grow taller and stronger?"
"Of course." Meng Yi said, "It's not just children. It's also the elderly who drink it every day. It's less likely to get osteoporosis."
"What is osteoporosis?" the veteran asked again.
"The Imperial Master said that as people get older, they lose their strength. This is actually caused by osteoporosis. The older you get, the weaker you become."
Some people at the scene suddenly became excited, especially a few older veterans. They completely felt that they were beyond their capabilities, but as the Meng family army, they were not allowed to retreat.
How could they not be excited now that milk can cure osteoporosis?
"Is it enough to just drink milk?" asked a veteran.
"Drinking milk can only provide relief, not cure. Milk is not a panacea. However, one thing is certain. The Huns' physiques are generally stronger than those of the people of the Qin Dynasty. In addition to the fact that they often ride horses and shoot arrows, the biggest reason is, Yes, they can drink cow's milk and goat's milk every day.
We didn't know it before, so there was nothing we could do about it, but now that we know it, we can't ignore it. So Emperor Shi developed milk powder.
This milk powder retains all the essence of cow's milk and goat's milk powder, making it very suitable for everyone to drink.
The highest yield is cow milk powder because cows are easy to feed, followed by goat milk powder, and finally camel milk powder.
Another benefit of sheep is their wool. The wool can be sheared twice a year. There will be experts to teach you how to shear it, how to preserve it, etc. Then I will arrange for someone to collect it every year, so don’t worry. "
"Lord Meng Yi, do you want to collect these wools or do you want to collect them on behalf of others?" Han Xin asked.
He discovered the business opportunities in it. It seemed that he could make wool into sweaters or sweaters.
Everyone was a general. How could they not understand what Han Xin meant? They all sneered. This Han Xin was so ungrateful.
Meng Yi smiled and said: "I am purchasing everyone's wool on behalf of the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master has a large wool processing plant and textile factory, which can turn wool into wool, or weave it into cloth with other materials.
Moreover, the husband also owns the largest clothing workshop in Daqin. You can make thousands of pieces of clothing a day, or even 10,000 pieces if necessary.
For example, the sweaters and cotton-padded clothes and trousers you are wearing are all made by Mr.’s clothing workshop. "
When Han Xin heard this, a huge wave arose in his heart. How many people are required to make thousands of pieces of clothes a day? How much money can you make in a year?
Meng Yi continued: "The Imperial Master has many industries, one of which is the clothing workshop, as well as dried meat, milk powder, cement workshop, paper, ink, pen and inkstone workshop, lantern workshop, iron-making workshop, etc., for a while I I can’t tell clearly, but there are just a lot of them.
But everyone, please rest assured that the emperor is not the kind of exploitative person, even though he took over the wool and milk business.
But the jerky business belongs to everyone. In order to prevent everyone from making jerky that is similar in taste and has different tastes, which will affect the market and cause no one to buy your jerky in the future.
If you buy it, you will lose more than you gain.
Therefore, Dishi recommends that you each set up a brand and have your own packaging. Or you can join forces and set up a large workshop, specializing in the dried meat business.
Not only do you do the dried meat business, you can also sell mutton. Nowadays, people in Daqin are living a better and better life. They basically have money in their hands. It is absolutely no problem to buy a few kilograms of mutton occasionally.
Take Xianyang City as an example. With a population of one million, 100,000 people eat mutton every day. How many sheep do you think are consumed in a day?
Based on the calculation of half a catty per person, one hundred thousand people is equivalent to fifty thousand catties. A sheep weighs one hundred catties. All the bones, internal organs and meat that can be used are preserved, and it can weigh forty or fifty catties.
Therefore, about a thousand sheep need to be consumed every day. This is still a city in Xianyang. In ten years, the population of Da Qin will increase tenfold.
Three hundred million people, how many sheep do we need to consume? Not just raising, but also beef. "
"Kill the cow?" Everyone was shocked.
Meng Yi immediately explained: "Don't panic, everyone. Now Daqin has developed a steam plowing vehicle, which can easily cultivate fifty acres of land a day, and only requires a few people.
When we are very busy, a plow truck can cultivate hundreds of acres a day. In addition, don’t forget that there is not just one plow truck, but we can make as many as we want. "
Shocked, more than shocked.
They had never heard of this matter at the border, as if Meng Yi was talking about fantasy.
Han Xin spoke again: "Lord Meng Yi, are you telling the truth?"
"What? You don't believe me?" Meng Yi said.
"I don't dare, it's just that this is too unbelievable. I believe that all the generals present may not believe it," Han Xin said.
Meng Yi looked at all the generals present, and he saw doubts in their eyes.
Meng Yi said: "Everyone, the imperial court now not only has steam plow trucks, but also harvesting trucks, seeding trucks and other new agricultural tools.
Moreover, these farm tools are constantly being updated. In the future, these farm tools will be more portable, completely releasing farmers' labor force.
You will know this when you go back later. I have said too much now, it is better to see it with your own eyes. "
"Sir Meng Yi, since we have steam plow trucks, can we also have them at the border?" Han Xin said.
"Yes, but the production of steam plow trucks is complicated. So far, there are less than a thousand of them. If we want to popularize them across the country, we can only wait until the imperial master comes out." Meng Yi replied.
"After Emperor Shi came out, he used his abilities to increase production or update the plowing vehicles before mass production. Emperor Shi believes that the current plowing vehicles are not the best and can be updated," Meng Yi said.
"This is the third update. I am shamelessly asking for monthly tickets, rewards and recommendations!!!"
