"Zhang Xiancheng, how many times has it snowed this year?" Chen Fei asked.

Zhang Mingde estimated it in his heart and said: "This is the third time it has snowed, and every time it falls very just right." And if nothing else, next year should be a good harvest. It looks like next year's harvest should be good. ”

Chen Fei also nodded, Ruixue Zhaofengnian has been saying this for a long time, and he has a reason. Now Chen Fei is wearing a leather coat and doesn't feel too cold. And Chen Fei is also very fortunate that he invented this honeycomb coal, so that the people use honeycomb coal, a clean and clean heating material, so that although the people seem to spend some money to buy honeycomb coal, but in the end they still save a lot of money. No one in Shuo County has been frozen to death now, and even if some are in danger, they will be immediately sent by the government to rescue them. And the four people Zhang Feiyang got out took turns to be on duty 24 hours a day, which also ensured that any accidents could be dealt with in time, so nothing happened.

"Little princess, slow down!" Zhou Nade said to Li Lizhen and Li Wanrou.

Li Lizhen and Li Wanrou have been playing in the snow all the time, and they are obviously very interesting about the snow.

And when Chen Fei was about to go back, Miss Wu Yun from Shuo County came.

"Miss Wu, how are you doing?" Chen Fei asked.

"Chen County Order, great joy!" Wu Yun said.

"Is there anything good?" Chen Fei asked rhetorically.

Wu Yun explained: "In the past few days, our broiler chickens are about to be slaughtered in less than half a month, and I told the news to the inn restaurant in the nearby state capital and many people, and many people are willing to order our broilers." And a broiler chicken of four or five catties can be sold at the price of two yuan. We have more than 5,000 broiler chickens. It's already booked out. And then they are still concerned about whether we can provide broiler chickens in a long-term and stable manner. ”

"Two money? So much? Chen Fei was a little surprised.

"Of course, our broilers are much better now than the other backyard broilers, which are big and heavy. And the appearance is also very good. The chickens raised in the backyards of ordinary people's homes are not only small, but they also look very thin and lightweight, which is much worse than our broilers. Our broiler chickens are at least twice as heavy as ordinary people's chickens, so we sold them for two dollars by weight! Of course. It hasn't been sold yet, and the deposit has been delivered. Wu Yun said.

And Zhang Mingde immediately asked in surprise: "Chen County Order, the chicken farm you got has more than 5,000 chickens, and each chicken is sold for two yuan, so doesn't it all add up to more than 10,000 yuan?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yun said.

Zhang Mingde didn't even think of the chicken farm he despised at that time. There is such a huge income. More than 10,000 yuan, this is worth at least millions in later generations. In ancient times, there were not many merchants who could make a profit of more than 10,000 yuan in a few months, and this time it was really surprising to him.

"How much does it cost to raise a four- or five-pound chicken?" Zhang Mingde asked.

Chen Fei said with a smile: "I don't tell ordinary people, but it takes less than a hundred yuan." Of course, as the cost of feed increases, maybe it will be higher in the future. ”

"What? Less than a hundred? Zhang Mingde really didn't expect it.

If it is really less than 100 yuan to raise a chicken that is less than four or five catties, then I am afraid that what Chen Fei said can make the people afford to eat meat! For less than 100 yuan, that is, the cost of raising a chicken can completely make the people afford to eat.

"Zhang Xiancheng. You say that if we sell this kind of broiler chicken to the people under Shuo County at a price of 800 wen a piece, do you think the people will often buy it? Chen Fei asked.

"Of course, I'm afraid I'll buy it often!" Zhang Mingde said affirmatively.

If according to 800 Wen, a chicken of four or five catties. The average catty of chicken is only about 200 yuan, and in the future it is only forty or fifty yuan a catty. If the people save some food, it is acceptable to eat it once a week in ten days, half a month. Even families who are a little better off can eat two ends in three days. With such cheap chicken, who wouldn't want to eat it!

"Chen County Order, why do you still sell it for 800 yuan? We directly lowered it to 200 again. Wouldn't that work? Two hundred wen, each chicken still has a profit of one hundred wen to make! Zhang Mingde asked.

Chen Fei immediately said: "Zhang Xiancheng, now we slaughter once every two months. That's five thousand chickens. Even if it is fully farmed in the future, it is only 30,000 chickens per batch. These 30,000 chickens supply the entire Datang. It's not enough to stuff your teeth! When the time comes, if we all follow the two hundred wen one chicken, what will be the consequences? I'm afraid that the entire merchants of Datang will squeeze to our side, but our locals can't eat cheap chicken. So we can't go too far against the so-called price law, and we have to slowly reduce the price. We can expand larger farming in the future, and then we can breed more and more chickens in the future, and that is the root of the price reduction. If we reluctantly lower the price, then in the end, those profits are not made by the merchants? Since the people can't really enjoy the benefits, it is better for us to earn this money, and it can also be used for the needs of ordinary people. ”

Chen Fei is also very reasonable, because if it is really sold according to two hundred wen a chicken, then there are definitely many businessmen who will come to resell this chicken. When the time comes, come here and buy it for two hundred wen a piece, and then you can earn a few dollars when you go elsewhere. Therefore, instead of letting these businessmen earn this money into their private pockets, it is better to let the Shuoxian county government represented by Chen Fei get a part of the profits to develop Shuoxian, so that the effect is the greatest.

"Okay, let's go and invite Sun Jiadong's chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant of Equation West to come here for a meeting to discuss how we can use the profits from raising chickens!" Chen Fei said.

Now that there is an income from raising chickens, it is time to divide this profit. After all, this time the chicken government has made 30% of the profits, and these revenues are not small. For the ancient county-level units, it was definitely a very fat income. Shuo County's government can get at least 3,000 yuan in dividends, so of course everyone has to find a way to discuss the direction of use of such a windfall, after all, who doesn't like a lot of money! And before Chen Fei said to everyone that he would share the decision-making power together, it would not be good for the cadres to make their own decisions, and they had to convene the four giants of the county government to hold a meeting.
