Chapter 601: Unlimited Business Opportunities in the New City

Yang Shen didn't even realize that when he arrived in Tianjin, with the surprise brought to him by what he saw and heard along the way, unconsciously, his mentality and original intention of coming to Tianjin had changed. [No pop-up novel network]

is different from the history of later generations, more than ten years later, with his father Yang Tinghe, who was involved in the political dispute in the early years of Jiajing; It is also different from the criminal minister who was exiled to the frontier after the failure of the political struggle and was never reactivated for life. Today's Yang Shen is just a young genius with the name of a prodigy.

Young people often do not have too deep in the city, nor will they have the kind of insight into the world that adults have, not to mention, unlike ordinary family members, Yang Tinghe has been an official for many years, but his wife has been in his hometown, until his son is famous, and his position is also stable, which will bring the family to the capital without the words and deeds of the father, although he has read a lot of classic historical books, but Yang Shen's understanding of Confucianism is still superficial, and he still has a fairly pure fantasy about governing the country and the world, and he is an idealist.

In later generations, such people will generally be called stunned youths, or angry youths, because they always can't tolerate the dirtiness in society, always fantasize about the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, and often look forward to the great harmony of the world. When Shaohua is not there, or after being tempered by the world, this anger will be laughed at and then discarded in the wind.

But it is still the third year of Zhengde, and it is still the first day of the new year, so the talented Yang Shen is still a simple talent, not a qualified politician with a thick skin and a black heart.

The governor in charge of reception had already walked away, and several other people walking around in front of the door with the same duties were also busy, and Yang Shen didn't want to bother the other party rashly, especially when his identity seemed to be seen through.

However, if you want to explore the inside, it is not impossible to think, you need to queue up to go to the counter to do errands, but if you just want to observe, you don't have to be so troublesome. Many people who had not made up their minds or even had no clue at all gathered around the counter, listening intently to the answers of the officials and merchants.

The target Yang Shen chose was an acquaintance, and the fat man who was alive outside the city gate left a deep impression on him, and at this time he also found that the fat man was talking at a counter, which aroused his interest, so he walked behind the fat man, and did not make a sound to disturb, but just listened attentively.

“…… My lord, my old bag is a righteous citizen, can you fool me, I have lived for more than 50 years, why have I never heard of this kind of food? What the hell is this can? ”

When he came to listen to it, he was curious, Yang Shen was also a little funny, it turned out that this fat man was not showing off his knowledge, but he had also encountered something he didn't know, and after listening to the explanation, he didn't seem to understand it, and he was scratching there.

"Canned food is to boil fruits and vegetables for seasoning and then put them in glass bottles and seal them...... Well, glass is about the same as glass...... "The fat man's voice is not small, because he is too frightened, and the appearance of his hands and feet is also a little exaggerated, but the attitude of the official is still very good, and he patiently explained to the fat man.

"I understand this, but ...... Eat in glass, what the hell is this? How expensive is that glass! The fat man impatiently interrupted the other party's explanation.

Glass and glass are actually not the same thing, but because the Ming Dynasty did not have the technology to make glass, so many people are mixed up, as soon as they heard that they were going to eat in glass bottles, the fat man immediately became dizzy, isn't this a gold box for straw? Can you still make money like this? That's!

The fat man looked at the official in front of him with suspicious eyes, and wondered if this person was a villain who had mixed in with the Hou Ye, otherwise how could he fool himself with such an unreliable thing? Hou Ye is a great good man.

"The shelf life of the food processed in this way will become very long, mainly for the supply of the navy and maritime merchants......" The official's temper was really good to a certain extent, and he was interrupted, and in the face of the fat man's questioning, he still explained unhurriedly.

"As for the cost, there is no need to worry, the glass factory in Lushun will soon be relocated to Tianjin, and then there will be an abundant supply of glass bottles, and it will be cheap enough, if you open a canning factory, you only need to recruit and train workers, and then find a good supply of raw materials."

"Really? How cheap is it, and how much profit can be made? And also...... I can cook vegetables and fruits, but what about the seal you mentioned? "The fat man was originally a squint, but now his eyes were round, and they were two circles larger out of thin air, and his face was like a big orange with insect eyes, and it was round inside and out.

"Here is just to determine the intention, specific, you have to go to the patent office to talk, the relevant technology is in the hands of the patent office, if you want to learn and set up a factory, you can only go there to learn."

"Then, can it be changed again?" The fat man hesitated.

"Yes, if you think it is not suitable after a specific understanding, or if you don't pass the light industry bureau's inspection of qualifications, then you can come back and re-determine your intention."

"So, besides the ones I just mentioned, what other projects are there?" Lao Bao thought about it, and asked again.

"Eh, I said Brother Bao, you've been asking here for a long time, why haven't you been endless? I see that the project of this cannery is very good, you hurry up and let me, I can register and go to the patent office. He didn't give up, the people behind him were not happy, and there were two people who were very interested in canned food who were also dissatisfied and shouted.

"Then you register first, and I'll ask later." The fat man's voice is loud, just because he loves to shout, in fact, his temper is still quite good, seeing that some people are dissatisfied, he should even let it aside, and muttered to himself: "My old bag didn't delay things, if I didn't ask in such detail, how could you hear it so clearly?" ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to you, brother, outside the city, here."

Registration is to fill out the form, and the things that need to be written are not complicated, nothing more than things such as names, places of origin and past experience, businessmen generally know a few words, and this level can still be handled.

It doesn't matter if you can't read, the clerk will help fill it out. The two businessmen who are interested in canned food are literate, so while taking the form and filling it out, they also have time to joke about the fat man.

"That's it." The fat man smiled triumphantly, and took advantage of this gap to lean in and asked, "By the way, this adult, didn't you just say that there are other items besides canned food?" It is also the kind designed by our Hou Ye himself. ”

"Well, in fact, the dairy project should be consulted in detail at the Patent Office, but since everyone is interested, I'll talk about it in detail." As soon as the scribe said this, Yang Shen realized that the people behind him had gathered around.

Everyone found out, instead of stepping forward one by one to repeat the question, it is better to listen to the surname once and decide to sign up again. Anyway, it's not bad to make money, so instead of making a hasty decision, it's better to study it carefully before making a decision.

"The main products of the dairy project are milk powder and cream ......"

"What's that?" No wonder the clerk in charge of the food processing industry said that the project would have to be explained in detail by going to the patent office, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the businessmen asked in unison.

"Well......" The clerk was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and then took out a saucer from under the table, there was some milky powder on it, he pointed to the saucer and explained: "This is milk powder, after removing the water from the fresh milk, it is made into such a powder, and when you eat it, as long as you wash it with boiling water, it is milk." ”

"Wow!" There was an exclamation from the crowd, the animal husbandry in the Central Plains is not developed, and milk is not easy to preserve, so this thing belongs to a very high-end food, not to mention the tenant farmers at the bottom, even if these businessmen who are some of the net worth are present, they rarely drink this thing, but everyone knows that milk is a good thing.

But with this milk powder, it is naturally different, the people who come here are well-informed, knowing that Hou Ye is now in Liaodong, which is different from the Central Plains, there are a lot of livestock in Liaodong, and milk and goat milk should not be too expensive.

If fresh milk is made into milk powder there, the cost must not be too high, and this thing does not take up space, so wouldn't it be able to be marketed all over the world? Like opening a cannery, it's a promising business! The merchants soon spotted the opportunity, and their eyes became more eager as they looked at the plates in the hands of the officials.

"What's that cream?" The fat man had many experiences in the capital, and he quickly came back to his senses, he had never heard of the name cream, but since it would be brought up with milk powder, it must be quite a good thing.

"I don't have any samples of the cream here, so I can only go to the patent office to find out...... That thing is a bit similar to the harmony of the Tartar food, but because it is a technique passed down by the Hou Ye, it is much stronger than theirs, there is no fishy smell, and it is also very sweet, but it is not easy to preserve, and it cannot be produced in summer. ”

The clerk spread his hands, saying that he couldn't help, and after thinking about it, he patted his head again, and added: "By the way, there is another thing I forgot to say, if you want to open a dairy factory, you must go to Liaodong ......."

"Liaodong? That's too far, isn't it? The businessmen who were still bright-eyed just now lamented for a while, even if they were merchants, they didn't have much thought about the border town, and they always felt like they couldn't come back once they went.

"It's really far from the land, you can go by sea, it's not far at all, even if it's a merchant ship, it only takes two or three days from Tianjin to Haizhou, and you can also carry goods, what's so far?" The clerk smiled, "Besides, there is no pasture here in Tianjin, how can there be fresh milk supply if you don't go to Liaodong?" ”

"That's what you said...... many people's expressions changed a little, and their tones loosened, so that this is really not far away.

"Cheng, if you go to Liaodong, you will go to Liaodong, isn't our Hou Ye also in Liaodong? What's there to go? My lord, please take the form and fill it out for me. As soon as he slapped the table, the fat man grabbed the top spot again, and his round fat face was full of determination.
