Zhang Yue was smirking, and Liu Jin walked in with someone, saw Zhang Yue's appearance, and asked, "What is Aiqing's happy event?" ”

"The thing ...... to get rich" Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and smiled even happier, originally he wanted to go to Liu Jin, but now he came to the door himself, but this saved a lot of effort, he quietly pulled Liu Jin, walked aside, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you know how many soybean reserves are there in Guanzhong Guancang now?" ”

Liu Jin shook his head in confusion.

The Han government has been purchasing soybeans for a long time.

This is because, since the Warring States period, people would choose to grow soybeans on fallow land to achieve the effect of fertilizing the fields.

This is the experience that the working people have explored in countless practices - planting beans on the depleted land can speed up the recovery of the soil.

As a result, a large number of soybean products are produced in the north every year.

However, the people generally do not eat beans.

Therefore, the central government buys these beans at a very low price and then uses them as feed.

The biggest use of beans is only as feed.

As for consumption?

Unless in times of famine, the people have no choice, otherwise no one will eat beans and find themselves unhappy.

As a result, a large number of soybeans were hoarded in the official warehouse of the Han family all year round.

Zhang Yue had seen in the archives of Lantai that just in Aocang in Luoyang, there were at least one million stones of soybeans lying in the official warehouse and moldy.

The officials in the warehouse, that is, when they receive the order to transport soybeans, will drag these things out to bask in the sun.

And in Guanzhong, there are more soybean reserves!

Just in the Xiliu warehouse and Jitian warehouse near Chang'an, there are at least five or six hundred thousand stone of soybeans.

"At least a million stones!" Zhang Yue rubbed his hands excitedly and told Liu Jin.

"Dou Yishi, how much is the official Pingjia?" Zhang Yue asked in a low voice.

Liu Jin continued to shake his head, it was only in the last two months that he began to care about the prices of the main grains in the market.

As for soybeans? There is no sale at all in the general market!

Because beans are basically the raw materials of feed.

Zhang Yue knew it in his heart, and he raised his voice slightly: "One stone is only twenty-five yuan......

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't even help licking his tongue.

The Han system is one stone and four jun, one jun and thirty catties, which is one hundred and twenty catties, which is about thirty kilograms in later generations.

In other words, the price of soybeans per kilogram is about 0.8 cents.

This means that one kilogram of soybeans is worth a maximum of three grams of pure copper. (Han system one catty sixteen taels, one tael twenty-four baht, a five-baht coin weighs up to 4.5 grams, and minted coins contain a lot of impurities...... ）

Could there be a cheaper price for soybeans than this?

"The minister wants to ask His Royal Highness to go down to the Shaofu Qing and Dasi Nong to see if he can sell a batch of soybeans to Xinfeng at a preferential price......" Zhang Yue rubbed his hands and said: "It's not much, it's enough to have a hundred thousand stones first!" ”

The biggest advantage of dealing with state agencies is that you can pay on credit.

100,000 stone soybeans, in fact, is a maximum of 2.5 million yuan.

Of course, Zhang Yue can get the money, but the question is, since he can pay on credit, why should he give money?

Dasi Nong and Shao Fuqing must not care about this mere 100,000 stone soybeans.

In this way, the capital invested in the raw materials is zero.

The rest only needs to take out a dozen or two hundred thousand dollars and ask craftsmen to build an oil mill.

Hire a few more workers and you'll be able to get started.

There is no technical content in the oil extraction industry, and there is a documentary called "A Bite of China" in later generations, in which there is a picture of an old oil mill in one episode.

And as long as soybean oil is squeezed out, it is flowing gold.

100,000 stone of soybeans, squeezing 10,000 stone of soybean oil, should not be a problem.

Now the oil on the market, the cheapest is probably thousands of dollars a stone, a little better quality, a pound can be sold for dozens of dollars.

It is equivalent to saying that Xinfeng's government-run industry can immediately get a stable and objective income.

At the very least, it is more than enough to send officials and benefits!

Liu Jin listened, although he didn't understand Zhang Yue's purpose, he still nodded and said: "Wait alone, let people go to Shaofuqing and Dasi Nong......"

It's not a big deal, and it's not a nuisance.

"By the way, Zhang Qing ......" Liu Jin suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit, and asked Zhang Yue: "Why didn't Qing go to the interview and have a look?" ”

Since the off-road weight-bearing test the day before yesterday, Liu Jin's reputation has become an instant hit in Guanzhong.

Countless scholars, doctors, and literati have sung praises.

Even his father sent someone from Yongxian County to commend his deeds, and his grandfather ordered him to be rewarded with 100 silk horses and 10 beauties.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is obvious-grandson, you should hurry up and give me a few more great-grandchildren!

Liu Jin tasted the sweetness, of course, he was very concerned about and grasped the matter of the public examination interview.

This morning, before dawn, he got up and walked around the palace.

At the beginning of the interview, he squatted in the official office and observed the interview.

As a result, he was busy over there for a long time, and was stunned to find that as the governor of Xinfeng, Zhang Yue was staying in the county government and didn't know what he was doing.

That's when he came to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue was smirking in the county office.

"The minister doesn't have ......to go," Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "The so-called interview is actually an opportunity for the ministers to let the officials below choose their own subordinates......"

"Huh?" Liu Jin nodded, he had already heard Zhang Yue say this.

In this interview, the officials selected were basically for Hu Jian, Chen Wannian and Sang Jun to fill the vacancies that had been left with the seals before, and by the way, slightly strengthen the strength of various institutions.

Of course, this is up to these three people to screen and choose personally.

They picked the rest and diverted them to the township pavilion below to help the students.

It's just that......

"Doesn't Zhang Qing need to choose a few people?" Liu Jin asked.

"Of course the minister will choose ............" Zhang Yue smiled and said: "But the minister has a certain eye for people, so this is not in a hurry."

As long as the interview is over, everyone is gathered together for military training, and within a day, Zhang Yue will be able to find out everyone's bottom in detail, and the golden finger of no space is so powerful.

It allows him to solidify everyone's names, origins, hobbies, personalities, and personalities in his mind.

Feel free to do so and access it at any time.

Zhang Yue even planned to build a personnel file in his head.

In this way, all the information and records of all officials in the whole county can be archived.

Just like the computers of later generations, you can read anyone's information as soon as you think about it.

Mom no longer has to worry about me recognizing the wrong person and remembering the wrong thing.

Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and he remembered that Zhang Yue did seem to have the ability to see people like ghosts and gods.

Up to now, all the officials he has chosen are talents!

Even Chen Wannian, the old fritter that Liu Jin once had some disdain, has now shown extraordinary ability.

The Xinfeng County Government has been able to maintain stable and efficient operation these days, which is inseparable from Chen Wannian's skill.
