"I wonder what price the processing factory charges for those fish and shrimps?"
A straightforward minister asked.
Although the question is about the processing factory, the processing factory was opened by Ying Feiyu, so it is no different from asking him directly!
The ministers around him gave him thumbs up in their hearts.
Good fellow, if you ask His Majesty directly in person, you are not afraid that His Majesty will show your face?
However, instead of showing any sign of anger, Ying Feiyu gave an approximate price of fish, shrimp and crab, and finally said with a smile: "Although the price of shrimp and crab is high, the quantity is small! Even though the price of sea fish is slightly lower, but The quantity is huge, accounting for 80% of the catch! If averaged, it should be about 20 cents per catty!"
He is not disgusted with this kind of minister who has a straightforward personality and asks questions whenever he wants.
On the contrary, those who find faults for the sake of benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc. look down upon me!
The price of fish collected by the factory is not a secret that cannot be disclosed. There is nothing wrong with asking in person.
If you gossip behind your back, that's what he hates!
"Twenty gold? This price is not low anymore. After one year, it will be 20 million gold!"
"Yes! Nanhai City is as warm as spring even in winter, so fishing can be carried out as usual without delay!"
"Twenty million gold, even after deducting the consumption of soldiers and steamships, there is still fifteen million gold left! This fifteen million gold has almost caught up with the Great Qin in the past few years Half the year’s taxes are due!”
"No! The ship is idle anyway. With such a large sum of money coming in every year, how many bridges can be built and how many roads can be paved for the people...?"
The money earned from fishing is equivalent to a business without capital.
As long as there are fish in the sea, the court will have such a large income every year!
"Your Majesty, the navy catches so many fish every day, is it possible that they can all be consumed?"
An old minister from the Ministry of Rites asked slightly worriedly.
If it cannot be consumed, the processing factory will not continue to buy marine fish, the soldiers will stop fishing, and the court will naturally not have such a high income!
"That's right. Can the common people eat all the nearly 300,000 kilograms of sea fish every day?"
"We have never tasted the taste of sea fish. What if the taste does not match the taste of the people and the people don't like it? Let alone 300,000 jins by then, even if it is 30,000 jins per day, we will not be able to sell it!"
"Hmm! That's a question...!"
Some ministers began to worry.
Although the harvest is huge, if there are no sales, it will be a waste of effort!
"Haha! I see that you old guys have never been to the beach or eaten sea fish!"
"Yes! Look at how you look like you have never seen the world!"
However, as soon as they finished speaking, they were ridiculed by Kang Anping and Zhang Han.
"If I guess correctly, all your wives have also traveled to Jiaodong County and Nanhai County, right?"
Wang Ben asked verbally.
"That's right!"
Several people nodded one after another.
A travel agency was established, and almost everyone in the city signed up for travel.
The price is not high, and you can experience the customs of a different place. Who wouldn’t rush to sign up?
"Calculating the time, I estimate that the tour group will be back soon in the next few days. Why not ask your wife how the seafood tastes? Then we will know!"
Wang Ben smiled.
"Old Wang is right! We really can't describe the taste of seafood to you!"
Kang Anping echoed and laughed sarcastically.
They have been to the beach several times and tasted different ways of eating seafood. It can be said that they have endless aftertaste.
But those veterans are different. Most of them have never traveled far, let alone to the beach.
You must know nothing about seafood to be worried like this!
"After the fish and shrimps off the fishing boat are processed, they will lose a lot of water! After they are really cooked, the original weight of 100,000 jins will be 60,000 jins! Moreover, sea fish is delicious and nutritious, and it will definitely be popular among the people. favorite!"
Ying Feiyu has never worried about this.
At the time of the last census, the number of people in Da Qin alone had grown to more than 40 million.
If we add in the foreign races that have just been incorporated into the territory of Great Qin in recent years, the population will more than double!
With so many people, can’t they finish all the seafood?
Besides, he is not planning to set the price of seafood too high. He mainly focuses on sales volume so that everyone can afford it!
"I see!"
After several ministers nodded clearly, the topic was dismissed and the ministers began to report other matters.
After the morning session, Ying Feiyu went to the imperial study room to write down the characteristics, eating methods and nutritional value of various seafood, and ordered it to be sent to the newspaper office to be published in the next day's newspaper to prepare for the seafood that was about to be sold. Prepare!
Newspapers have appeared in Da Qin for six years, and the people have developed the habit of reading the newspapers every morning to learn about the strange things happening in various parts of Da Qin, as well as the latest policies promulgated by the imperial court!
In addition, the newspaper will also publish some life tips, home-cooked recipes, recruitment information, lost and found information and other information that benefits the people!
This makes people more dependent on newspapers and becomes an indispensable part of people's lives!
"Nanhai County has established a seafood processing factory? Sun-drying and canning of sea fish?"
"Have you ever eaten canned lychees and mangoes, but never canned sea fish? Speaking of which, what does the canned sea fish taste like?"
"Who knows! I don't even know what the sea looks like, let alone canned sea fish!"
"It won't be as sweet as canned lychee or mango, right?"
"I don't know! If the fish is made sweet, what will it taste like...?"
After seeing the content in the newspaper, several people began to speculate.
The only cans they have come into contact with are fruit cans, and they have never tasted other cans.
I heard that marine fish would also be canned, so I naturally thought of the taste of canned fruit.
When superimposed on the fish, it feels a little weird!
"The newspaper said that sea fish is rich in nutrients and has many benefits for the body!"
"Yes, I have heard of this before. It seems that there is a kind of grass in the sea. After eating it, it can make your hair black and beautiful, and relieve dizziness!"
"Oh? Since there are so many benefits, let's buy some to try when the time comes, right?"
"I also have this plan! Then I will buy some dried fish to take home and taste what sea fish tastes like...!"
People were afraid that canned food would taste weird, so they focused on dried fish.
If you want to make dried fish, you must add salt. They can still accept the taste.
Thinking of the sweet fish, everyone curled their lips unconsciously!
"I just don't know the price?"
The marine fish is caught, processed, and sold throughout the Qin Dynasty. It is estimated that the cost is quite high. I wonder if ordinary people like them can afford it.
"Didn't the newspaper say that the prices of different types of seafood will naturally vary! Marine fish are cheaper, while shrimps and crabs are a little more expensive. We can just buy what we need!"
"That's right! If the price is high, let's buy less and let our family have a taste!"
"Yep……!"
