Chapter 497: Planning the Economy

Gu cheap hurt the peasants, this has plagued the people up and down the base for many times, all the people are at a loss for this serious matter, but as long as it is in the hands of Lu Shi, there will be a solution, and there are many, everyone immediately lifted their spirits and their eyes lit up.

Several old people are excited, because the potatoes in their hands can have a good price, the people are simple, they don't want to be rich, as long as there is no famine, Chen Ce and others are excited because they feel that they can have potatoes to be taken away, and there will be no more tragic things about the cheap grain hurting the farmers, Zheng Hongda is also excited and can't sit still, because if that's really the case, it means that he has the opportunity to make money again.

There was only one star left in the venue, and his eyes were blank and unfocused, which made Lu Shi shake his head greatly.

The third uncle snorted with hatred that iron is not made of steel, this nephew is becoming more and more uncompetitive, if it weren't for Lu Shi, I can't say that the big guy would have been left without bones under the leadership of Guo Tianxing, a bastard boy.

Everyone is accustomed to such things, and regardless of the performance of the Grand Commander, they are all eagerly looking forward to breaking into the king and coming up with a good way to kill several birds with one stone.

"In fact, the solution is still very simple, that is, to increase the added value of potatoes, that is, to make worthless potatoes worthwhile, but there is also a premise, asking for the people's understanding and help." As he spoke, he gave a deep bow to a few old men.

Several old men saw King Chuang's salute, and quickly stood up in fear to return the salute, the father of the third son, the village chief said angrily: "King Chuang, it is you who give everyone a stable meal, as long as the army wants, we are smashing the pot and selling iron, and we also follow King Chuang to do this thing, please rest assured." ”

The old king was even more terrified and gave Lu Shi a sigh of apology, apologizing for what he said before, everyone has a stutter, and they can still eat enough, this is what generations have dreamed of, where should there be such excessive demands? Isn't this forgetting its roots or what?

When he said this, several other village chiefs and patriarchs also promised that as long as King Chuang said a word, everyone would be ruined and lost, and there would be no ambiguity.

Lu Shi smiled slightly: "We started an incident so that everyone could survive in this troubled world and be able to eat enough, how can I let everyone break their family again?" This is not in line with our original intention of breaking into the army, so don't worry. ”

Although Lu Shi said politely, everyone still repeatedly said that as long as the king is broken, as long as the base needs it, he absolutely calls on everyone to support the king at all costs.

Lu Shi was moved to continue to give gifts to several old men, and continued to speak, "Fathers and elders, after a few days of calculation, I have several ways to solve the problem of potato flooding, not only potatoes will not be worthless, but will make potatoes become a good thing to sell, while making the people make a lot of money, but also fundamentally solve the big problem of the trade deficit in our base areas, so that silver and copper coins will flow into the base areas again, as long as there is a coin inflow, all our difficulties will be solved." ”

As soon as Lu Shi's words came out, it immediately caused a big uproar, how could he break into the king and have a good way? And it's not a good way, and it's still several, not only to solve the problem of potato flooding and hurting farmers, but also to solve the problem of panic in the base area? This is also amazing, even if everyone has completely trusted Lu Shi's omnipotence, but when they heard this, they began to be surprised and couldn't believe it.

Even Zheng Hongda, who had a terrible headache, began to wonder how Lu Shi could use the potatoes on this stinky street to solve the trade deficit, and when the time came, would he still be able to find business opportunities here.

"My solution is to deep process the potatoes, so that after deep processing, they will become treasures and become many fist products exported from the base."

"What's the way, King Chuang said quickly, I'm here to fully support you." Chen Ce was the first to jump out and ask Lu Shi for his solution. With such a gaffe, Chen Ce was really anxious. All of them, except for Guo Tianxing, involuntarily stretched their necks and stared, waiting for Lu Shi to give an answer.

When Lu Shi saw it, he couldn't help but be proud again, look at it, the advantage of crossing is so big, and the methods of the stinky streets of later generations, if you get here, you will usher in countless admiration and worship.

So, Shi Shiran sat back at the stone table, smiled affectionately at Chunlan, who admired him, and then Shi Shiran picked up the water bowl, but he didn't drink it, because the water bowl in his hand had been snatched away by the third uncle, and he stared at his eyes and shouted loudly: "Don't sell Guanzi, don't you say it quickly?" ”

Lu Shi, who wanted to show Zhuge Liang's demeanor, completely put it away in the roar of his godfather, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the method is actually very simple, that is, vermicelli, pig raising, and winemaking." Especially winemaking. ”

In fact, in later generations, the practice of potatoes is ever-changing, especially the small food oil squeezed potato strips are popular in the world, but the oil in this era of Lu Shi, it is very precious, that can only be done when it is really rich in the future, and now these three methods are absolutely simple and high added value, and in addition to potatoes, there is almost no need for anything else.

Hearing about Lu Shi's three methods, everyone was confused and discouraged together, and the vermicelli knew it, but that thing had to be mung beans to produce, and I had never heard of anything to do with potatoes. Brewing, everyone knows about sorghum roasting, but I haven't heard of potato shochu, and pig raising, this line, anyway, everyone uses potatoes to feed pigs and rabbits now.

An old man who was invited stood up first, and complained to Lu Shi with an embarrassed face: "King Chuang, I don't understand the rest, but I know about raising pigs, everyone will feed the pigs with potatoes now, but the potatoes are fed to the pigs, and as a result, the pigs will eat diarrhea, and it is absolutely not okay to feed the pigs with potatoes." ”

Lu Shi smiled but did not answer, asked the old man to sit down, and then motioned for the next old man to speak.

The old man who was invited to speak was a powderer specially invited by Lu Shi, and now he frowned in the tone of a professional: "King Chuang, I am the most famous local powdermaker. When he said this, his face was full of pride, but in a blink of an eye, he collapsed his waist and said: "But our ancestors' craftsmanship is to make vermicelli with mung beans, but, to be honest, the yield of that thing is too low, and the gold is very expensive, so we don't produce much, but we haven't heard of making vermicelli from potatoes, but we don't know what King Chuang will do." ”

Lu Shi still smiled and didn't answer, let him sit down, and stretched out his hand to an old man again, the old man was a brewing master specially invited by Lu Shi, but over the years, food has been too expensive, and no one has used it to make wine, besides, outside the base area, the production and sales of liquor are all controlled by the government, and if you make wine privately, it is a capital crime.

The old man stood up and replied, "Wine-making is indeed a huge profit, and it can be said that it is a wealth in water, but food is expensive, so the cost remains high." ”

"Then how much wine can you make from a pound of grain?" Guo Tianxing smelled the wine, and the first question was asked, if potatoes can make wine, then they will not feel distressed when they drink wine in the future, even if the wine made from potatoes is not as good as sorghum, but it should be better than nothing?

The old man hurriedly bowed to the commander and replied humbly: "Back to the commander, if according to my craft, 3 catties of grain can produce 1 catty of high-grade 65-degree wine, one catty of two pots, and tail wine for the common people to drink, that is to say, 3 catties of wine can be produced, and if they are all made of 30 degrees of people's wine, it is 5 to 6 catties." ”

Guo Tianxing slapped his thigh with music, now it's okay, if the worthless potatoes can make wine, it will be just white money.

Zheng Hongda's eyes also lit up, now the price of wine is expensive everywhere, and there are even fewer good wines, if this is really the case, then as long as you operate this internal and external wine market, won't you make a lot of money, about what kind of liquor official sells, it is already a void, what is the most profitable? Whatever is forbidden by the government is a book of great profits.

"That's good." Lu Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I have a method, which is actually very simple, as long as you add a little program, you can turn potatoes into an excellent ingredient for winemaking." Looking at the old master's disbelieving eyes, Lu Shi said directly: "It is to slice the potatoes and dry them, and then use them for soju, I drank this kind of wine at the beginning, it is very pure and delicious, and it also has a very nice name, called Lao Baigan." ”

The old brewer was stunned for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "Is it really that simple?" ”

"Yes, it's as simple as that, and you don't need to change the winemaking process tools." Lu Shi replied affirmatively.

"What about the wine rate?" The old master fully believed in the statement of King Chuang, King Chuang, that is the king of heaven descended to earth, everything is right, take this flooded potato as an example, it is an absolute high yield, but there are too many high yields, so now I am worried about the wine rate, according to his thoughts, the wine rate of this potato is definitely not high, but even if it is not high, this thing is absolutely cheap, and it is not profitable.

"The wine yield is definitely higher than that of sorghum, you can rest assured." Lu Shi confidently assured.

At the same time, Lu Shi also said the questions raised by the above masters, but the method was actually simple and outrageous.

The processing of potato flour is to grind the potatoes into a pulp with a stone mill, and then filter and precipitate into starch, and then it can be processed into vermicelli again, and can also be processed into sheet flour, wide flour, and so on. At the same time, this starch can also be stored for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the problem that potatoes cannot be stored.

Pigs eat potatoes and diarrhea, that is because they are not boiled, as long as the potatoes are boiled, this thing is completely avoided, and at the same time, the residue left over from the starch is also an excellent feed for pigs.

There is also winemaking, as long as the potatoes are sliced and dried, it is not complicated at all, everyone can buy dried potatoes in various houses, as long as the price is a little higher than the potatoes, those women and old people are definitely happy to earn more.

At the same time, potatoes can also be stored when they are dried, so they are not afraid of running out of raw materials in the future.

At this moment, the whole venue was a sensation again, the old master didn't say anything, and after giving Lu Shi a hurried salute, he turned around and ran, he wanted to go home and hurry up to experiment according to King Chuang's method.

Lu Shiyi grabbed him and said with a smile: "Master, I haven't finished talking yet, you can't fight alone, you can't scale up to the grade, and you can't consume so many potato raw materials." ”

When the old man heard this, he thought about his own needs, and then looked at the mountains of potatoes under the courtyard dam and in the market, and sat back in his place.

Not to mention the potatoes in the four counties, even if they can't digest their own family, let alone anything else?
