Chapter 3491: The late emperor is old and miserable
"Well, let's be honest, okay?" Liu Ye waved his hand to express that I won't be sleepy if you say so. Even Liu Ye recognized Zhou Yu's ability. Can that guy tell the difference between good and bad? Now it's safe and sound.
By selling coconuts and growing spices, Zhou Yu could save up a hundred castrated versions of the seventh-generation ships by waiting for Selian to attack.
Now the coconuts have just been sold and the spices have been harvested. As soon as the boat was sent over, they were eager to take action. To put it bluntly, wasn't it Sun Ce who was making waves again?
Can Zhou Yu be a prostitute? Zhou Yu is not a prostitute at all. Only Sun Ce is promiscuous every day. He was beaten up before and now that he has calmed down, Sun Ce must be promiscuous again.
"To be honest, it's probably Sun Boxu who wants to bite someone again." Guo Jia said helplessly. So far, no one understands Zhou Gongjin and why Zhou Gongjin became Sun Boxu's number one adviser. Human thinking
The method is really incomprehensible.
"It's completely meaningless to discuss this. Anyway, I have received the news. I want to go back and rest, but I will open a position tomorrow." Chen Xi said with a yawn.
This kind of thing is not attractive to Chen Xi at all. He can buy the love story between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce in the hidden streets of Chang'an, and the plots are interlocking and seamless. Chen Xi doesn't like to read this kind of thing at all.
But Chen Xi confiscated a copy from Xin Xianying.
"Open a position?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi in confusion and asked, "I haven't heard of any disaster relief areas. What kind of position should I open?"
"New grain is coming soon. The old grain can be used to make wine, or made into glutinous rice bricks with a longer shelf life. The grain storage technology also needs to be upgraded." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The current grain storage technology, for rice,
It can only be stored for more than two years, so there are some minor issues with the quality."
According to ancient requirements, there is still no problem in storing rice for more than two years, but according to Chen Xi's requirements, there is a problem. And the current situation is that if Chen Xi thinks there is a problem, Chen Xi will replace it himself.
, anyway, you are responsible for the logistics. As long as you can manage it and distribute the supplies in full, then it is up to you how you do it.
"Glutinous rice bricks..." Zhuge Liang recalled that he ate this as dry food when he traveled to the Western Regions. After many improvements, the taste was still quite good, so he nodded. Purely pressed glutinous rice bricks can be stored as long as they are not damp.
long time.
This technology is the same as sun-dried buns. After they are made, they are dried in the sun. As long as the remaining ones are not eaten by insects, it seems that the storage time can be calculated in years. On the downside, the sun-dried buns can hit people like stones.
dead……
However, Chen Xi is very accustomed to improving this strange food, changing the glutinous rice bricks into glutinous rice candies. The shelf life is also a question mark. The reason why this is a question mark is because even if Chen Xi uses mass production, this thing can always be sold out.
"Yes, this shelf life can be longer and it is easier to store." Chen Xi nodded, "But it can't be stored for too long. If it doesn't work, you have to find a way to make it into wine."
"I always feel that it's a shame to use grain to make wine." Liu Ye sighed and said. In the past, anyone who used grain to make wine would have to go to jail to explain without a backing. But after Chen Xi came to power, the alcohol ban was quickly lifted.
Already.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Increased grain production can feed all the people. This is a prerequisite. After this is solved, animal husbandry will be possible." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Banning alcohol is not a solution to the problem. Improving grain production is a prerequisite."
Production is the key, and this year, grain production in the north should increase significantly."
"This thing called Lei Ji Tai is actually really useful." Jia Xu said in disbelief.
"If it's useless, I won't let the Wang family in Kuaiji build it everywhere." Chen Xi said with a smile, "This is natural fertilizer. After all, we don't have the technology to make fertilizer on a large scale. We can only rely on nature to make it. The technology is not enough.
, it’s okay to make up for it naturally.”
"But food is never enough. Just like the current animal husbandry in the north, there is no future for eating grass. Although grass is free, you can't raise it for a year just by eating grass." Chen Xi said casually,
"When the summer grain comes out this year, Ziyang will make a detailed calculation of the total output of the states and counties, and then also calculate the population growth. I will use the excess to make feed."
Liu Ye let out a breath, with a melancholy expression on his face. He was not afraid of being tired when he worked. As a result, the person doing the accounting was about to die. Liu Ye didn't know if there was something wrong with the world.
"There is also the issue of mulberry silkworms. We will start harvesting mulberries like last year, and then unify the dominant silkworm breeds. Stop messing around. There is obviously higher quality silk, but we have to use our own slag." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, actually
Until now, the Romans were always wandering around the Central Plains, and it was difficult to keep silk secrets, so Chen Xi began to raise the technical threshold.
"It's night. We were doing these internal affairs during the day, and we were urgently arrested at night. Aren't we supposed to deal with Cao Sikong's problems?" Lu Su showed a hint of fatigue. This job is really not easy to do.
Ah, because a core aspect of the small-scale peasant economy is that it is self-sufficient, and silkworms have always been a core aspect of the small-scale peasant economy.
After all, it has been a social environment in which men farmed and women weaved since ancient times. It is not that easy to change crops. The people are very smart in some aspects, but in some aspects they are extremely stubborn.
"The problem with Cao Sikong is not a problem at all. With so many people heading to Kandahar anyway, it will be difficult for Kushan and Sikong to win. We both know the terrain." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "We might as well discuss it.
Some other things, yes, I forgot to mention, if the warehouse is opened tomorrow, the mulberries I harvested last year can be released from the warehouse."
"I remember you said you used it to make wine." Jia Xu recalled what happened last year.
"Yes." Chen Xi nodded, and then Guo Jia Baotou, who was beside him, looked like he couldn't bear to look back, "Why do you always think that if you have anything you can't deal with, you will use it to make wine? If you have more grain, you will make wine, and if you have more pears, you will make wine.
, you can make wine with too many apples, you can make wine with mulberries, you can make wine with anything, I remember you seem to have made wine with dates and other things.”
"Because the easiest way to deal with it is to make wine." Chen Xi said matter-of-factly, "And wine is easy to deal with. If it can't be distilled, it will be easier to deal with. The shelf life is longer than human life, so it contains starch and sugar.
If it is not easy to handle, there will be no waste, and there will be absolutely no residue left."
Chen Xi did not make mistakes in his early years in agriculture. For example, in his early years of sericulture, the leaves of the mulberry trees were not very lush, but they produced mulberries. This kind of business was a loss-making business in ancient times because mulberries were so seasonal.
, it is difficult to preserve, and it is difficult to sell even if you want to sell it.
If Chen Xi doesn't turn you into a small amount of money because you have mulberries and take up the nutrients of the mulberry trees I planted, wouldn't I be losing money?
So I spent some time and asked people to research and develop mulberry wine. After that, there is nothing to say. As for the results, you continue to produce results. I will pick as many as you can and then make wine later. I will definitely not lose money.
In the same way, there were other screw-ups, but all the fruits that Chen Xi found difficult to handle were turned into wine, and because it was pure fruit wine, the distribution channels were all over the Central Plains, so there was no loss at all.
Therefore, in the eyes of Guo Jia and others, Chen Xi really caught something that was difficult to deal with and threw it away to make wine. Then, wine may really not lose money, and they don’t know why...
"After all, this is a simple and effective solution. It is better than leaving it broken." Chen Xi said with a smile, "What's more, this is also an industry that engages in added value. As long as anything can create added value, it will
It’s more expensive than before, and if you turn it into wine, no matter how miserable it is, you can still make some money. Well, even if you don’t make hundreds of millions, it’s still a good thing to find jobs for tens of thousands of people.”
"That's hundreds of millions of dollars." Jia Xu clucked his tongue and said, cheating and kidnapping didn't feel so fast.
"It's only a few hundred million dollars." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"That's right!" Liu Ye repeated it silently. This is a business that can surely make so much money every year. What else do you want?
"Yeah, that's all." Chen Xi said angrily.
With the current purchasing power of five baht, five hundred million sounds like a lot. Think carefully about Chen Xi’s investment, the supply and marketing cooperatives that were built into the villages when the villages were merged, the road infrastructure, and the logistics channels, as well as Chen Xi’s almost everything
It is a monopoly business. This year alone, we sold more than one billion yuan in various drinks, and we made seven to eight billion yuan after excluding costs.
By the way, if you include the wine industry of other families, this figure can reach 2 billion, but the profits of other families are far less than Chen Xi.
Think about future generations, not to mention other drinks. The annual sales of liquor alone can reach 800 billion. According to this economic ratio, a reduction of 400 times is enough to beat Chen Xi. Chen Xi feels that he is really rubbish. His own sales
The chain is extremely complete, but if it doesn't reach 1%, it's really a loser.
"We have to continue to find ways to increase the annual income of residents." Chen Xi said helplessly, and then said excitedly, "When I increase this figure to tens of billions, I will use this to support non-total wars in the future."
At this moment, Liu Ye was full of curse words. Finally, he silently poured himself a cup of tea and swallowed all the curse words. As a civilized person, I decided not to curse.
"Can the beverage industry really reach that high level?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi in disbelief and said, "Ten billion revenue, according to the calculation method that the bigger you get, the lower the average cost, it should be more than five billion.
Revenue, can drinks really support such a large amount of revenue?"
Zhuge Liang does not doubt whether 5 billion dollars can support a non-total war. In fact, let alone 5 billion dollars, 500 million dollars is enough to maintain the existence of the Central Army with weapons and equipment, and if it is
With 500 million yuan a year, the three rivers and five schools that were reorganized during the reign of Emperor Ling can still survive to this day. With 500 million yuan a year and supporting 40,000 people, the pressure is not great at all.
Thinking again about the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest, the investment before and after the century-old Qiang Rebellion was only over 40 to 50 billion. The largest investment was when Empress Dowager Deng came to rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It's even a bit too much to say why Empress Dowager Deng was highly regarded among all the empress dowagers who came to the throne. The history books directly gave a general comment of "rising and destroying the country and continuing the peerless world". To put it bluntly, when Empress Dowager Deng came to the throne, the Eastern Han Dynasty
Encountered the Xiqiang Rebellion, during these twelve years of turmoil, the Eastern Han Dynasty invested a total of 24 billion yuan to kill the Xiqiang.
By the way, Empress Dowager Deng’s early mistakes in decision-making towards the Xiqiang were an important reason for the rise of the Xiqiang. But the great thing about this person is that I caused things by myself and solved them by myself. I started a twelve-year relationship with the Xiqiang.
In the war, except for the early decision-making mistakes, the later stage was almost a selection of talents, and in the end, the Xiqiang was hammered to death...
The next most important thing is that despite the twelve years of war and various natural disasters, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not fall. Empress Dowager Deng not only survived, but also lived for five years after defeating the Western Qiang.
The treasury has money again.
Think about it, this was the largest war that the Eastern Han Dynasty encountered. In terms of investment costs, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not even enough to support this.
Although a large part of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was due to Huangfu Song's high-profile performance, the real situation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, for Huangfu Song, was almost 500 million allocated by the central government. I will work hard to kill the Yellow Turban next year. The central government allocated 1 billion.
I will kill the Yellow Turbans this year. The central government will allocate 2 billion. I will prevent the Yellow Turbans from seeing snow this year...
Five billion and five baht, even if it is given to Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling does not need to sell his official position. By the way, the annual income from selling his official position is less than one billion, because it still needs someone else to pass it on, and most of them are not actual payments, but the upfront payment.
In addition, there are people like Huangfu Song who have discount coupons, and considering that official positions and titles cannot be bought and sold frequently, they cannot make hundreds of millions a year.
As a result, selling wine can now support such high revenue and profits. Zhuge Liang just wants to say, late emperor, you will die miserably.
"Fifty billion in revenue should be no problem. According to the current situation, if I adjust and adjust, it should be fine. In fact, this is mainly about small profits but quick turnover. There are at least 20 million people in the Central Plains who want to drink. One person can pick it up."
That’s it.” Chen Xi said casually.
Why do we need to merge villages into villages, why do we need to form supply and marketing cooperatives, why do we need to centralize? To put it bluntly, isn’t it just to spread the industry? Maybe in the future we can also promote that every glass of wine is for foreign wars, and people have not yet arrived, but in the heart
Now, of course this kind of thing cannot be promoted.
"I always feel that the late emperor was really miserable." Liu Ye arched his hands in the direction of Weiyang Palace. In less than twenty years, the world has become like this. Let alone start a war, it cannot support the Central Army.
The Ling Emperor is really old and miserable.
"It's not too bad." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's just a matter of application method. They always think about getting rich quickly. They obviously have products that are in urgent need, have a royal background, keep their heads down and work hard, so it's easy to be deceived.
