Chapter Eighty-Nine: Chicken Raising County Order (I)
"Chen County Order, can this thing really be used to raise chickens? And according to what you said, you can raise a chicken in two months, and then the cost is still very low? Wu Yun pointed to the chicken shed that was being built not far away and said.
Chen Fei immediately said, "Miss Wu, don't you believe my words? If you don't believe me, then why work with me? ”
"No, I'm just a little surprised, a county order can actually raise chickens, this is really amazing!" Wu Yun said.
"Hahahaha, what's so strange about this? In the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, no matter whether it was the monarch or the ordinary officials, they all needed to be able to farm themselves to support themselves, and there was nothing special. And I, the county order, came to raise chickens, so what! Chen Fei said.
"Hehe, Chen County Order, you have a really big mouth, but please pay attention, if you let people know that you are compared to Yao Shun, then I am afraid it will cause trouble!" Wu Yun said.
"Hehe, Miss Wu, you won't say it, will you?" Chen Fei said jokingly.
After Chen Fei finished speaking, he immediately continued to urge the hired people to start building these very huge chicken sheds.
Time goes back a few days to a few days ago, inside the Wangshuo Inn.
"Miss Wu, if you want to develop productivity, you can't do it in a short period of time. Because of the cultivation methods of grain, it cannot be improved in a short period of time. So I'm going to find another way, and we're going to save the people's food rations, so that we can feed more people with less food. If we can save half of the people's food rations, then we can also use the same food to feed twice as many people, do you think this is a great merit? Chen Fei asked.
And Wu Yun immediately asked in surprise: "How can the amount of human food be suddenly reduced by half?" Of course, if it were those of us who didn't have to work hard, the amount of food would naturally be very small. But for those people who need to farm, the amount of food is definitely not small, how can it be reduced by half? If they can reduce it by half, then how can they work? ”
"Hehe, if they can afford to eat meat and have some oil and water in their stomachs, then their food consumption will definitely be greatly reduced!" Chen Fei said.
"So that the people can afford to eat meat? This is too ......" Wu Yun couldn't believe it.
"Do you think it's ridiculous? Actually, I don't hide it from you, my colleagues in the county government also think so, so they don't support me. I was only able to go out and work alone, so I found you and wanted you to cooperate. When the time comes, you and our government will share the profits, and then the people will be able to afford meat, which is a move for the benefit of the country and the people. If this can be done, it will be a great thing for the present and for the future. Chen Fei said.
And Wu Yun refused to believe that he could make ordinary people afford meat, which was unimaginable for the ancients. In fact, the people can't afford to eat meat, but they are willing to be so "extravagant" during the New Year's Festival. In normal times, they would not be willing to give it up at all, after all, they are not rich. And because of the relationship between productivity, meat is also very expensive, and people can't afford to eat it. But now Chen Fei actually said that the people can afford to eat meat once every ten days and half a month, which is really ridiculous. I'm afraid that no matter who it is, anyone in this era thinks that Chen Fei is joking.
"I have a secret recipe that allows a chicken to mature in two months and can be slaughtered for meat. And the weight of the chicken has reached four or five catties, but the cost of breeding is very low, raising a chicken is less than 80 copper plates, do you say this has to be earned? Chen Fei asked.
"What?" Wu Yun suddenly stood up.
Wu Yun couldn't imagine whether Chen Fei was telling the truth or not. Because Wu Yun is a restaurant, she naturally knows the cost of raw materials for dishes. For example, the lowest-grade pork costs at least 400 copper plates a catty, and it will be more than 100 yuan when converted into future generations. And chicken and duck meat is more expensive, enough to reach six or seven hundred copper plates a catty, which is more than half a catty. As for beef and mutton, it is extremely expensive. Of course, there is also fish, but fish can only be eaten by people who are close to rivers, lakes and seas, and the price is very expensive, so you can't eat it if you want to.
But now Chen Fei actually said that it only costs less than eighty copper plates to raise a chicken, which simply broke Wu Yun's concept of chickens. If you really raise a chicken for only eighty copper plates, then as long as you simply calculate, that chicken is four or five catties, according to the market value, each chicken is more than two yuan. If you really master this secret recipe, then this is more than 20 times the profit. This profit is simply crazy and incomprehensible to everyone. And Wu Yun also felt a thump in his heart, if he could really get this secret recipe, he could make a fortune, and even become a huge rich party and a breeding tycoon in a short period of time. Compared to this, the so-called secret recipe of aged vinegar passed down by her Wu family's ancestors is simply worthless.
"Miss Wu, you must know that I want to come up with this method of raising chickens so that the people can eat as much meat as possible, not to make money. If I wanted to make money, then I wouldn't be an official. Chen Fei said.
And Wu Yun immediately bowed to Chen Fei and said: "Chen Xianling is really a good official who loves the people, and he can take out such a huge rich method, just so that the people can afford to eat meat, such a noble character, Yun admires!" If you can really figure out this method of raising chickens, then just as Chen County has said to you, the merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future. ”
Of course, Chen Fei knew that his method was very valuable. If the breeding cost of broilers can really be reduced to 80 copper plates, the average breeding cost of each chicken will be 30 yuan in later generations. And the average catty of chicken is very cheap, and it will not exceed more than 20 yuan a catty in ancient times. The meat that costs more than 20 yuan can be said to be affordable for many people. Although it is still a little expensive, at least the people can afford to eat it once every ten days and half a month. Even the slightly wealthier people can eat twice every three days. The value in this is simply immeasurable, and when this thing is done, it is simply the happiness index of the people rushing upward. Moreover, with oil, water and meat, the people's rations do not need to be eaten so much, and they can be used to feed more non-agricultural population. Although this does not directly increase productivity, it does indirectly increase productivity.
"Chen County Order, if you do this, what will the people say about you in the future? Say you're a chicken prefectural order? Wu Yun asked curiously.
And Chen Fei immediately smiled and said: "There is nothing bad about raising chickens in the county order, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the people, and the reputation of the people is the most important honor in an official's life!" ”
