Zhao Feng has now figured out the chain of interests between the three of them, so the next thing to do is to completely cut off this chain of interests.
It is very simple to cut off this chain of interests. All it takes is one link to go wrong, and their alliance, which is united by interests, will collapse on its own!
So Zhao Feng is now helping Zhou Tong get into the glass products business. He is actually leaving a hook specifically to lure Mrs. Liu and the others into action.
But relying solely on these glass products may not allow them to take risks. After all, coming here means that someone has noticed them. If what they do is still as obvious as before, they will definitely be miserable.
"It seems like we need to give them another dose of strong medicine."
Zhao Feng thought like this, with a smile on his face.
Since the land before Zhou Tong had been abandoned, a lot of weeds had grown. Zhao Feng did not let anyone take care of it, but instead asked people to put some livestock manure as fertilizer from time to time. Inside those fields.
Even though Zhou Tong's land is not suitable for farming, the soil fertility is incomparable to that of wasteland, so the weeds grow very vigorously.
For these weeds, Zhao Feng can be of great use.
Soon, Zhao Feng found Zhou Tong and told Zhou Tong his thoughts.
"What? You said you want me to raise pigs?"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded. The Zhou Dynasty already had a tradition of raising pigs, but because the pork they raised had a fishy smell, it was not a very good ingredient.
Only ordinary people who can't afford meat occasionally buy some pork, but they don't have any good cooking methods.
Zhao Feng knew that the reason why these pigs had a fishy smell was because the boars were not castrated. Only by castrating these pigs could the fishy smell be reduced to a great extent. At the same time, some appropriate cooking methods were needed. .
"But raising pigs is not profitable. Why do you want me to raise pigs? It is said that raising pigs also consumes some food. Doesn't this make my money even tighter?"
Zhou Tong asked Zhao Feng very puzzledly, Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand.
"Your Highness, the reason why the pork has a fishy smell is because it was not processed properly, and these pigs are not necessarily raised for eating."
"Your Highness, you must have seen the soaps I made, right?"
Zhou Tong thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile.
"Remember, your soaps have a very fragrant fragrance, and they can wash your face clean. Some people even spend a lot of money to buy soaps and take a bath!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly: "If I say that these soaps are made from pig pancreas, does your Highness still think that raising pigs is not profitable?"
When Zhou Tong heard this, he took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Feng in shock.
If those very expensive soaps are really made from pig pancreas, then raising pigs will not only not lose money, but will actually make money!
You know, of the soaps made by Zhao Feng, the cheapest one costs ten taels of silver, and the better ones are engraved with military patterns, making them even more expensive!
“I never thought those soaps were made from pig pancreas!”
Zhao Feng nodded slightly and lowered his voice.
"And if you want to reduce the cost of raising pigs, you can also use some weeds to make forage."
"You only need to add some grains that people can't eat, such as bran, to make those pigs fatten quickly!"
"And pork products will definitely sell for a lot of money, because I know many ways to make delicious pork!"
When Zhou Tong heard this, he couldn't help but think about it. If things were really as Zhao Feng said, then pig farming must be a business that can make a lot of money.
You must know that these people now have no idea that raising pigs can make money, and they all think that these pigs are money-losing goods, so not many people raise pigs.
If Zhou Tong could really become bigger and stronger, wouldn't he be able to monopolize the business of the entire Zhou Dynasty?
Zhou Tong could understand the benefits of monopoly even without Zhao Feng talking about it. Thinking of this, Zhou Tong nodded excitedly.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, then I listen to you!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly. During this period, they had saved some money from selling those glass products, so they could invest in opening a pig farm.
With Zhou Tong's approval, Zhao Feng directly started looking for someone to start a pig farm.
As for the location of the pig farm, it is also very simple. You only need to choose the wasteland where crops cannot be grown.
If these lands were all fertile land, Zhao Feng would feel distressed if they were used to open various workshops, factories, etc. But it was precisely because of Granny Liu and the others that they secretly turned all Zhou Tong's fertile fields into these barren lands. Zhao Feng didn't feel bad at all!
After purchasing some cement, Zhao Feng directly asked the craftsmen to build a pig farm. At the same time, he conducted some training on the selected people, telling them how to feed pigs and how to castrate pigs, and then purchased some small pig farms. The piglets started to be raised directly.
Since many people in the Zhou Dynasty did not eat pork, the price of pigs was very cheap. In addition to these piglets, Zhao Feng purchased a large number of adult pigs.
Zhou Tong had invested so much, so he had to let Zhou Tong see the results first, and he also had to use this business to impress the housekeeper Liu Po and others.
If you want to make pork into delicacies, you need very important processes, such as using onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell, but even so, with the cooking technology of this era, it is difficult to make pork delicious.
It is impossible for Zhao Feng to directly promote the reform of the dietary structure of this era just to sell these pork. After all, this is a very difficult thing, so Zhao Feng has other ways.
"If you want to get rid of the fishy smell of pork, you only need to make bacon and sausages from the pork!"
"And bacon and sausages are also very delicious. They are very simple to cook. You only need to boil them in water and you can eat them!"
Zhao Feng built a slaughterhouse and processing plant next to the pig farm. All the purchased pigs were slaughtered and sent to the processing plant to make bacon and sausages according to the methods Zhao Feng taught them.
The previous glass products had detonated the entire Zhou Dynasty. Many dignitaries were trying their best to buy glass products. Before they could get over these very novel utensils, some bacon sausages appeared in major restaurants.
"Sir, this is our new bacon and sausage. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, give me a plate to try!"
