Chapter 434: Stable Sources of Finance
In fact, the history of artificial pearl farming in China has been a long time, let's just say that this Datang, the most famous pearl producing area of Hepu, has already had this technology spread, but the technology at this time is still quite rough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to increase the chance of catching pearls, local pearl divers often get a lot of shells, grind them and scatter them into the pearl pond, which is actually to artificially increase the chance of foreign matter falling into the pearl oyster's body, so that there is a greater possibility of forming pearls. It can be regarded as a technology for artificial nuclei for pearl oysters, but it has not yet been well mastered for the real technical core.
When he got to Shi Lei, there was no need to be so troublesome, he simply took a few days of effort, went into the water himself, found the area where pearl oysters are more concentrated, and then transformed many of them to let them consciously start to produce pearls.
And what these guys produce is not only the relatively common ordinary Nanzhu, since Shi Lei has begun to transform, how can he waste those transformation energy, a large part of which Shi Lei has transformed into a special variety that can produce pure color gold pearls, or similar to Tahitian black pearls.
It's just that this kind of natural organic gemstone, like rhino horn ivory, must have a process of time accumulation, so after marking the location of this sea area, Shi Lei temporarily put these pearl oysters aside, and when the pearls they conceived are really ripe, Shi Lei believes that they will be able to give everyone a big surprise.
Gold and black pearls are definitely rare treasures, and Shi Lei absolutely believes that these small things can be sold at a satisfactory sky-high price. It's best to use the pearls from this sea to get yourself back with a new fleet.
After transforming this batch of pearl oysters, Shi Lei temporarily relaxed. The hunter uncle came with news, the process of their suppression of bandits was relatively smooth, and the harvest was also very rich, and Shi Lei could wait to enjoy the fruits of their victory. When they came back with the results, Shi Lei would basically have no problem starting his plan.
This is enough to make Shi Lei, who has been a little anxious recently, relax, and then there is such a long-term source of wealth as cultured pearls, even if there is no constant blood transfusion from Chang'an, in the long run, the idea of gradually building a fortress-like manor in Guangzhou and having his own fleet has become possible.
Seeing oneself is an ideal, after some of their own efforts, it has gradually changed from unreachable to close at hand, which is always a happy thing.
Therefore, the smile on Shi Lei's face increased, which made the soldiers under him feel a little stunned, extremely suspicious of this Shangguan, and thought of some bad ideas, planning to change the law to toss them.
inevitably, he had to walk around Shi Lei carefully, for fear that if he fell into his eyes without paying attention, he would become an unlucky test subject, used to toss those so-called new training methods.
During this time, they made a lot of tossing, but it was also in such a process of crawling together, that they really accepted this tough Shangguan who was not like a human, as well as his group of personal guards who were also non-human.
Originally, they were proud of their skills, as well as the battlefield experience honed in blood and fire, in front of these guys, all of them were completely beaten, they finally saw what it was like to be a real master, and they also understood why their own Shangguan was called "the first fierce general of the younger generation".
In this way, a guy who can't be compared to ordinary big animals, who dares to say that he is not fierce enough, these sergeants have to be in a hurry with each other.
Have you ever seen a human who dares to collide directly with a bison? That's the notoriously strong "white socks", not a cat or a dog. We've seen it!
Have you ever seen a human who can break a thigh-thick tree? We've seen what we thought only a mad wild boar could do.
Have you ever seen a human being who can pull out a tree with a thick bowl mouth? We've only seen strong wild elephants do this, and we've seen it too. Nima, you'd rather find someone who can come out and take a look.
These are naturally Shi Lei's "inadvertently" revealed skills in front of this group of sergeants. But if you want to say that the real excitement and the beauty of strength can be more shown, it has to be the duel between Shi Lei and the bear.
With such a three-point person who is not like a person, and a seven-point is more like a bear's opponent as a foil, those sergeants can more intuitively feel Shi Lei's toughness.
With such a subtle influence, these sergeants not only recognized Shi Lei as a superior, but also worshipped him as a god at all, and unconsciously their hearts were much higher. With such a fierce man, if he is only at the current level, it seems that he has to look down on himself.
Therefore, when Shi Lei implemented those new trainings, there were very few complaints, and Shi Lei and his guards had been leading by example, so the ordinary soldiers naturally had nothing to say.
The training during this period of time can be regarded as the initial results, which not only established Shi Lei's prestige, but also made these sergeants have some obvious improvements. This can be regarded as a thing that makes Shi Lei happy.
However, unlike the anxious and bitter state some time ago, this period seems to be the stage when good things are concentrated and erupted, Shi Lei received another good news here, after he came to Guangzhou, the thousand acres of mulberry forest that he shared have also been produced.
After Shi Lei's transformation, those ant silkworms retained the advantages of the rapid growth of mulberry silkworms, while the quality of the silk threads produced has been greatly improved, which is of course thanks to the thousands of acres of mature mulberry forests, which provide them with sufficient food.
With the help of those skilled workers who came with it, except for the beginning of the whole process, Shi Lei spent a little time to transform, and basically the whole process didn't matter how much Shi Lei bothered.
The silkworms all grew up smoothly and formed cocoons until they became silk threads, and then through the skillful hands of the weavers, they finally became a colorful and luxurious finished silk.
The quality of these silks is not inferior to the previous fine products of the Shi family, but the quantity is several times that of the former. Or is it that the thousand acres of mulberry forest are too powerful, providing enough food for these white and chubby snack goods, so that they can eat and grow violently, and see the results early.
Shi Lei couldn't help but touch these silks lightly, feeling the texture that was different from ordinary silk, and he was very satisfied. It seems that it's time to call the rich people who are still squatting in Guangzhou City, and just cheapen them once, this time we will not only sell finished products to them, but also sell luxury level raw materials.
Although there is also a great demand for this kind of unusually fine silk in the current storefront, there are still hundreds of acres of mulberry forests on the side of the racecourse that are about to mature, at most these mulberry forests will be put into use next year, and then the stores in Chang'an will not be afraid that this special silk will be insufficient.
However, transporting these silks back is a bit of a reluctance to seek the near and far, and it is also a bit worth the loss. Shi Lei also has to urgently use money in Guangzhou, no, his plan is not small, and it is definitely not a bad thing to have such a stable source of money.
Besides, if you really want to use it, you have to wait until your caravan comes back from Chang'an, and the silkworms that have this kung fu enough to grow up again. So no matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to sell this batch of silk directly. (To be continued.) )
