Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With just a slight press of his hands, the people who were kneeling aside and shouting "Long Live the Mountain" immediately became quiet.

    "I know there are still many people who have doubts about whether this thing can be turned into food. Today, I am here to fulfill the promise I made to you. As long as you complete it according to quality and quantity, how many copies will you produce?  How much will the king buy! Just follow the price we agreed on before, two pounds per can and twenty copper coins!"

    While Liu Deng was talking, he took a clay pot from a vendor.

    This kind of clay pot is specially made for canning production.

    Each clay pot can hold two kilograms of fish meat. According to the price Liu Deng set before, each pot is worth twenty copper coins!

    Don¡¯t underestimate the price. Even if this is where the raw materials are produced, the final price of dried fish has reached five cents per pound.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In each can, in addition to fish, there is also some kelp mixed in, so if you fold it back and forth.

    The cost of each can is about thirteen cents, and the net profit from one can is seven cents.

    A workshop with about thirty people can produce about one thousand to two thousand cans of this kind every day!

    If you calculate it this way, their income will be considerable.

    At the end of a day, you can earn about a dozen dollars.

    If they expand their scale, the price of this cost may be further compressed.

    ??This is a thousand dollars in one year, and this is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.

    For these ordinary people, this is a good deal that is hard to find even with a lantern.

    "Your Majesty, you are in a different city now. Even if you hold copper coins, you can't buy food. Can we directly convert copper coins into food?"

    Seeing that Liu Deng had reached this point, a small merchant bravely spoke.

    "Of course there is no problem with this! The price of grain is also calculated according to the market price in Jinyang. What is the market price in Jinyang now?"

    As Liu Deng spoke, he turned to look at the quartermaster on the side.

    "Report to your Majesty, the current price of food on the streets of Jinyang is about thirty cents for a pound of fine polished rice, twenty cents for medium rice, and about eight cents for inferior rice!"

    The quartermaster on the side did not dare to delay and immediately spoke loudly.

    "Okay, let's convert it based on this price. If you need food, you can exchange it for food! If you need copper coins, you can also exchange them directly for copper coins! From now on, I will transport food from Jinyang twice every month until there is no need to transport it.  As long as the food lasts!¡±

    Seeing Liu Deng agreeing so happily, the remaining vendors suddenly became energetic.

    Liu Deng converted them to this price. In fact, Liu Deng suffered a big loss.

    After all, the consumption along the way is really not small.

    You must know that people eat horse chews along the way. For every stone of grain transported, at least ten kilograms will be eaten on the way.

    "Long live the king!"

    "Long live the king!"

    "Long live the king!"

    The cry of long live the mountain rang out again. Looking at the scene here from a distance, Ou Zhenming was a little dumbfounded.

    "Is this really edible?"

    ¡°Second Young Master, the younger one just got a jar, how about you give it a try?¡±

    Seeing the shocked look on Ou Zhenming's face, Fang BuTong hurriedly moved over a small jar.

    Full of doubts, Ou Zhenming opened the mud seal on the jar.

    After opening the jar, an attractive fragrance hits your nose directly.

    Ou Zhenming frowned, stretched out his hand, picked up a small piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.

    Although it has lost the original flavor of the fish, it can still be swallowed even for him.

    You must know that he has been accustomed to eating delicacies from all over the world since he was a child.

    As the younger brother of King Dongou, he has never enjoyed any glory or wealth.

    Even in the recent period, when I go out, there are never less than a dozen cooks around me.

    He also once led troops to conquer Fujian and Guangdong, and also had some minor frictions with the Chu State.

    The poor food in the military camp has left a deep impression on him until now.

    If you compare this thing with military rations, even he has to admit that this thingThis is a rare delicacy.

    Thinking again about everything he had seen in Buqi City during this period, he finally understood.

    Liu Deng, this guy, has clearly laid out a complete industrial chain here.

    Everything is done to produce this thing, and in the production process, except for people who fish at sea, all the people used are the old, weak, women and children.

    With this alone, Liu Deng was able to revitalize the entire situation in Buqicheng.

    ¡°These people near Buqi City have lived by the sea since childhood, and collecting fish and meat is just a piece of cake for them.

    By just doing this simple job, you can earn dozens of pennies a day.

    Coupled with the price Liu Deng set this time, if you calculate it this way, if you only buy the worst brown rice.

    An ordinary family of five, as long as there are two women and children working at home, is enough to support the whole family.

    ¡° Moreover, the things they produce can also be directly used as military rations.

    No matter how much they produce, it will be completely consumed by the huge collective of the army!

    The supply of the Daiguo army alone is already in short supply. If you add in the Han troops in the interior, the demand will be even higher!

    ¡°Now, even if Liu Deng is here, there is no other operation, and all the people in Buqi City can be self-sufficient.

    And more importantly, in just one or two months, Liu Deng absorbed tens of thousands of people for nothing.

    Since recently, Dongou has been doing maritime trade.

    Ou Zhenming is very clear about the virtues of those businessmen. As long as they can make money, those people will definitely penetrate every corner!

    After the reputation of canned food spreads, I am afraid it will soon attract more businesses.

    Then the population of several nearby cities will flow here on a large scale.

    If it were in the past, there would be strict household registration policies to prevent it, and even if those people were greedy for this place, they would not be able to leave their homes and careers.

    But now the situation is different!

    Throughout Jiaodong Kingdom, several nearby cities are all in a state of abandonment.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now every one of them is guilty, their own lives are not saved, how can they have the mind to take care of these miscellaneous things.

    By the time the imperial court reacts, I am afraid that Liu Deng¡¯s Buqi City will be able to gather at least hundreds of thousands of people!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Now they are all free publicity for Liu Deng.

    This is the real way to steal the chicken but lose the rice!

    Not only did it not knock down Liu Deng¡¯s momentum, but it gave him a lot of fat for free!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
