Chapter 299: Salt
Fan Jingjing also hopes that they can keep the food they produce greatly, otherwise it will be rotten, which is actually a waste.
What's more, in the era when there were no refrigerators, people had to use various methods to maintain the life of food.
It's a pity that not as much food as there is to how many people can survive, and for the wealthy, they can't pay normally, which is equivalent to taking on more responsibilities for no reason.
Don't think that if you give food to someone, others will be grateful.
When you get used to eating, people will think that this is what you should do, and when you can't afford to give it one day, you will become an enemy.
There are flashes of humanity, but you have to be right in time to get them.
The most interesting thing is that the monopoly system of salt does not seem to count pickled products, so can you dry salt on the seashore and use it exclusively for pickling, after all, there is no salt tax on selling salt goods.
The land by the sea is much cheaper than in the age of technology.
Now most of the seaside is still deserted, human beings must have good arable land to live, but due to the result of saline-alkali leaching on the seaside, many seaside land production is not very good, land, there is still so much land can be developed, so people naturally will not develop to the seaside.
The sea of Datang is still very dangerous for people.
Seafood has been known since ancient times, but if you want to eat seafood, you can only really eat it to the seaside, and the distance that can be reached in one day is very far away in later generations, but in ancient times, especially before the Tang Dynasty, it is basically impassable at night, and the danger is very great, but due to the bad condition of the land, the speed of passage is also very slow, and the shelf life of half a day or a day will soon pass, not to mention that when fishing at the seaside, as long as the fish dies when they go ashore, the shelf life begins to count.
If you make marinated fish and meat by the sea, you can develop a new industry.
Datang's agricultural and animal husbandry products are all organic products, in fact, the quality is very good, and if they plant the seeds of the scientific and technological era, they will naturally be able to make good things.
Pickled products can be for the common people, or there are many ordinary people who can eat and eat.
It's not a problem to help them get more meat.
What's more, the meat obtained from fishing in the sea does not take much effort, and in this era, as long as there are proper tools in the offshore sea, the danger can be greatly reduced.
Thinking deeper, Fan Jingjing is still uneasy about Datang, and mentally wants to leave a treasure land for herself in the open sea that can keep her safe.
Fan Jingjing knows very well that if she wants to go to sea, she can't go out alone, she must bring a group of people out of training.
This group of people can't be people from the existing Fan family manor, they can only be people from the seaside, the seaside is prone to accidents, and the possibility of pulling people away is higher.
As long as the mortality rate is about the same as that of the Datang people, it will be fine.
In fact, even if the Fan family manor is an old man, he doesn't have so many illnesses and lives a good life.
Proper working hours and an accomplished life have improved their lifespan a lot.
Fan Jingjing also pays special attention to hygiene, and also attaches great importance to the training of doctors, although he has not yet been a teacher, but the medical treatment of this era is relatively simple, and the technical difficulty is not high.
Therefore, it is easier to reach the basic level, and after they leave the school, Fan Jingjing will let them continue to work hard to improve their technical level, and also integrate some of the benefits of Western medicine.
Fan Jingjing doesn't like the behavior of headache doctor and foot pain on her feet, but she still agrees with the fact that the injury can be cured early and then treated well afterwards.
It is also very important for a person to resolve the pain problem quickly to reduce the cost of living.
As for the development of the pickled fish project, it can be merged into, although the main axis of the canned food business lies in the container, and find a way to extract the air, but it needs to package the product, but also needs some salt, how to reduce the cost of research and development is also an important issue, in addition to salt, sugar is also an important product of canned food, sugar is also one of the spices, in Datang is also a high-priced product, the transportation of sugar is actually simpler than other things, although his product has a high weightlessness rate, but its finished product has to maintain its length, It is not easy to be damaged, and it is resistant to transportation and falling, but the point is not to soak in water.
Not soaking in water during transportation is actually a major test.
Since sugar dissolves in water, once soaked in water, it is very expensive to recover.
Fan Jingjing wants to treat canned food and cured meat as food for ordinary people, for rich families, they eat fresh food, which is healthier, because they often have problems with excess, but the poor people do not have the problem of overdose, and eating items with higher salt content can increase their physical strength.
Since the object of commodities is placed on the common people, the natural price cannot be raised, but only the cost and profit can be lowered.
There is an advantage that pickled products do not need canned jars, in fact, Fan Jingjing raised the cost when making jars, so pickled products don't matter, only need some big leaves to pack, and then tie them up with straw rope to make outer packaging, which is a good thing.
Every time Fan Jingjing puts forward an idea, it is actually a project that can be worked, which is a new work that can be expanded for the Fan family manor.
Fan Jingjing mentioned that he wanted to buy land or develop land by the sea, which brought up Sun Erlang's spirit, you must know that it was the scope of the Fan family's manor, not the scope of the Ministry of Agriculture, which means that the person in charge in the future is Sun Erlang, not Liang Shu.
For this kind of work that does not require cost and only needs to send people out, Sun Erlang is very welcome, because if you want to send these people over, you only need food, especially if the developer can use ordinary people, then there is no need to treat them as people from the Fan family manor, and the supply does not need to be so high-end, and when they develop it in the future, they can receive good performance into the Fan family manor as a reward after they have contributed.
Fan's manor is not much money, most of them are issued with point cards, as for most of them are now used when doing business with people outside, if it is Fanjia Town or Fanjia Manor production of things can take the point card, there are certain discounts, now the point card is discussing whether to be issued to the outside world, if it is to the external party is also to give preferential treatment or divided into two different cards in the village and outside the window, and every year the point card may have to be made with different papermaking technology, In this way, the Fan family manor must draw some people to study more sophisticated papermaking technology.
They found out that someone was actually studying the paper of their scorecard, and they just wanted to forge it, but unfortunately it was not very successful, as long as they looked carefully with their eyes, they could find that the paper was wrong.
They only know how important the so-called anti-counterfeiting is, and now the anti-counterfeiting of the scorecard of Fan's Manor is completely dependent on the difference of paper, in fact, at the beginning, Fan Jingjing mentioned to them that the imitation products will definitely come out, so in the later stage when issuing the scorecard, it is necessary to add some numbers and passwords, but these methods are too troublesome, and may be used when there is a bank in the bank, and paper is still the most important guarantee for a card.
The issuance and use of the point card still revolves around the Fan family manor, the most important thing is that Fan Jingjing did not set up a point card exchange point in other places, although the value of the point card is set up very civilian, but it is also because its value is designed to be very civilian, if it is to be exchanged for money at that time, there is not much guarantee that everyone although they like the point card, but they do not dare to bring too many point cards on their bodies.
Fan Jingjing knew that money was one of the important reasons why Datang controlled the government, so he would not casually admit Fan Jingjing's point card.
Outside merchants began to receive point cards, which were used to exchange for the products of the Fan family's manor.
However, there are still a few people who use the point card to buy products, because most people are still willing to use the point card to buy directly in the Fan family manor, after all, the people outside need the products of the Fan family manor, and the people of the Fan family manor need the outside products, but the number of products that the Fan family manor needs is not much, because many of them will find a way to produce and manufacture a lot of products sold outside as long as they are missing, in fact, the difficulty of the proposed products is higher, although there is money, but its members are still relatively frugal.
And they have tasted the sweetness from manufacturing, as long as the products that can exceed the specifications of Datang can often be included, the production and manufacturing in the Fan family manor.
Even if the Fan family manor does not produce and manufacture the products they come up with, they can also get the profits from Fanjia Town's own production completely belong to themselves, but they value the production capacity of the Fan family manor more, and want to be included in the sales scope of the Wanjia manor, so that the business will do better, so that the business will do better, and they can also make meritorious contributions to the Fan family manor, so as to obtain a relatively high position, in the Fan family manor, in fact, it will be compared in private, People always hope that they can manage others from above, and although they are limited by the regulations of the Fan family manor when they manage, they must also be polite, but management is management, and they can decide the work and attitude of others.
The new villages developed by the Ministry of Agriculture are issued and set up in their villages to be exchanged for money banks, and provide reception tasks, and their interest rates are not as high as those of usury, and the money they lend is not much, but they can give them new ideas, and when they want to develop, they can have some money to develop the work in their minds.
In the final analysis, Fan Jingjing still pays attention to creation and invention.
Only continuous improvement, continuous creation, continuous satisfaction of life, and there are infinite requirements will not invent, feel that it can be used will not create no invention, and then life goes on like this, Chinese often use a thousand years of creation and invention, and then there is no improvement, there is no big invention for innovation, but the pursuit of tradition, and the traditional things as the benchmark of life.
Fan Jingjing has to admit that there is indeed a lot to learn from philosophy, and she only wants to go in the past, because if the ideas of the sages can stay, they will basically be brighter in the contemporary era.
Of course, for the Han people, innovation and improvement is actually a very terrible thing, especially some vested interests, they want to keep vested interests and then innovate and improve continuously, they will have to spend a lot of costs to maintain their own advantages, so for them, pay attention to tradition, and suppress all new creations and inventions, is the best way for them to maintain their status, but also the easiest way, so the traditional culture instinctively rejects innovation.
But Fan Jingjing has not innovated among the rich from the beginning, the object of his innovation is people who are extremely dissatisfied with life and need to change, maybe after these people become rich, they will also oppose continuous innovation.
But to let them innovate and form a habit, it is impossible to know what choice they will have in the end, in fact, even in the age of science and technology, people will be afraid of continuous innovation, because innovation is high-cost, in all innovations are beneficial to the rich, and the people who need the most to create inventions are people who have no opportunity to improve themselves, they can only eat some of the cheapest things, and try to live, unless someone is willing to reward them with new creations. They will be able to use new inventions to improve their lives.
Fan Jingjing knows that even if she travels to Datang, his influence is only in the hundred years he has lived, if she dies, Datang will stagnate like this, with Fan Jingjing's scientific and technological ability, Datang's progress will not be too much, what he wants to bring to Datang is the mentality and ability of research, so constantly advocating that all people to innovate can be better than easy to satisfy.
Traditional China does not respect people's intellectual property rights, and even many people want everyone to copy a copy of the product of wisdom, especially when they have words, and they will definitely not pay if they don't pay.
But they can hold you high, but there is no actual benefit, there is no actual benefit, people have no desire and possibility to continue to develop, because if they want to continue to develop their research and innovation, then they need a lot of money, if there is no benefit, but they have to provide a lot of money independently for most people, it is inevitable to lose motivation.
What Fan Jingjing provided in the Fan family manor is a kind of motivation, although the production capacity that their current inventions can manufacture is still very small, and it is only a simple creation of inventions, but these created inventions will begin to accumulate new wealth, from these new wealth, they can find that if they invent and create more useful things, and more difficult things to protect, they can earn more money, and make life more satisfying.
Invention and creation now have practical benefits, and people will definitely continue to do it, but this benefit comes from the Fan family manor, and other people still want to imitate and learn, and Fan Jingjing has no ability to prevent others from imitating and learning.
