Chapter Twenty-Three: Our Black Fire Family's ambitions don't stop there
The beer, which tasted much better than Lin Ye's expectations, was finally brewed, and he secretly congratulated himself on his previous persistence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If he had been silent about the failure at the time of the first brew, there would have been no new beer today.
Sure enough, when you can't persevere, grit your teeth and persevere, success may be close at hand.
But Lin Ye was not complacent because of this, because even if he succeeded in brewing beer, he still faced new problems.
That's food.
You should know that even if beer is not brewed like traditional baijiu, the food consumption ratio is about 6% to 8%.
In other words, brewing 100 kilograms of beer consumes about 6 to 8 kilograms of malt.
To obtain this amount of malt, about 10 kg of wheat is consumed.
Lin Ye has not thought about using the traditional craftsmanship of the modern world to make liquor.
However, the yield rate of liquor is too low, only about 40%, and 100 kilograms of grain can make about 40 kilograms of liquor.
Blackfire Castle really can't support this level of food loss.
When it comes to cost, beer is not only too low, but also quite profitable.
Moreover, Lin Ye didn't want the people in his territory to get drunk by drinking liquor every day, and low-alcohol beer was more than enough.
In his imagination, the use of liquor is to send someone to secretly send a few hundred catties over when he is fighting against the enemy one day.
In this way, the enemy got drunk overnight, and when the real swords and guns were dry, they all collapsed in the camp.
In this way, wouldn't it be the legendary idea of solving the battle without much effort?
Of course, this is only an ideal state, and I don't know if we will be able to implement this tactic one day.
"So, our goal is to promote our beers in a fair held by the tribes in more than two months to celebrate the Harvest Moon, and we have to stock up as much as we can in those two months to deal with potential customers. Lin Yelang said.
"My lord, it's not called an exhibition, it's called the Earth Goddess Festival, it's a festival to thank the Earth Goddess for giving us land so that we can sow plants and get food. Mr. Murray reminded him in a whisper.
The Duke has been coming up with a few new words from time to time lately, and he has to be ready to remind him at all times.
"Both mean the same thing, don't worry about the details, the most serious problem we face now is that the food reserves are seriously insufficient, our food reserves are only enough to last until the harvest month, and according to our daily productivity of 120 kilograms, we should produce 2,500 kilograms of beer in two months. ”
Of course, the units of weights and measures in this era were not meters and kilograms, but for more convenience, Lin Ye proposed the concept of these two units.
"How many kilograms of malt do you need for 2,500 kilograms of beer?" said Mr. Murray, snapping his fingers.
They hadn't memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table, and it took a lot of time to calculate the data.
"It's about 150 kilograms of malt, about 200 kilograms of wheat, and if you count some other losses, it's even more. Lin Ye quickly gave a specific number.
Seeing Mr. Moda's blank face, he decided to promote modern education among the new generation of children.
At the very least, we have to train some accountants, otherwise the business will expand in the future, and those huge account numbers will be enough for Mr. Financial Officer to drink a pot.
"With our stockpiles, there is enough food, but if we consume too much of it......," said Mr. Murray, looking a little embarrassed.
There was not much wheat in stock, and if it was all used to make wine, the people of the Far East would have to tighten their belts for half a month.
"Don't worry, I already have a solution to the problem of grain for winemaking, and I don't need to store grain, I, the lord, will not let my people go hungry, I decided to let the Black Dog Tribe and the Gray Wolf Tribe join in, and let them join in a share. The young duke said confidently.
"Into the bones?" the clerks looked at the Duke in a daze, not knowing what this bone meant.
"It's shareholding, which means that they participate in this transaction, accounting for a certain proportion of equity, whether they make money or lose their share, if I'm not mistaken, the gray wolf tribe still has a lot of good wheat. Lin Ye smiled slyly.
In the past, it was the idea of the Far East to attack the Black Fire Castle.
And now, it was he who set his eyes on these tribes with the thief's eyes.
The Gray Wolf Tribe was the first, and by no means the last.
"But how can they willingly give away their food? It's already thankful that they don't come here to blackmail, and it's not fair why we invent something to make them money. "Immediately, an officer raised an objection.
"Yes, it's not fair. ”
Obviously, the officials still have a dislike for both the gray wolf tribe and the black dog tribe.
After all, they still have an inglorious history of Blackfire Castle.
"Everyone, be quiet, as long as we send a bottle of freshly brewed beer to the two patriarchs who are addicted to alcohol, Lu Fu Gray and De Mu Hei, they will naturally come to the door obediently. Moreover, these two tribes are now restrained by our Black Fire Castle, and there is no hostile relationship for the time being. ”
Lin Ye paused, and said: "Beer is indeed produced by us, we belong to the "technology shares", they are only responsible for providing labor and wheat, and they belong to the "in-kind shares", in terms of equity ratio, of course, we have the majority, you don't need to worry. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Ye secretly sneered in his heart, when he was still a small employee of the company, he had always been annoyed that he had not been born a few years earlier, and was born in the era of the empty glove white wolf, and now the opportunity has come.
In the face of these orcs who basically have no business concept in their minds, he can calmly use various business skills.
To modern people, these wrists may seem rough and unnoticed.
But for the Far Eastern orcs, these are all new things.
If he opens a few banks, raises funds, and then agitates a Far Eastern exchange, won't all the wealth of the entire Far East fall into his hands?
Ahem, those are the steps to be taken one after another, and the top priority is to get the beer sales done.
It's a big taboo to be ambitious.
"Provide labor, my lord, we have enough of our own manpower, what else do we need those orcs for?"
The other ministers shared the same sentiment, they didn't want to see a bunch of werewolves and kobolds at work in Blackfire Castle.
That's really...... It's so funny!
"No, Mr. Morda, you are wrong, we are not only understaffed, but completely understaffed. Lin Ye chuckled.
"My lord, we can gather 100 young men at any time, and if necessary, the soldiers can also participate in the production. ”
"yes, yes, we can't let those greedy werewolves and fierce kobolds come to us, they will frighten the children. The officials expressed their opposition.
They were right, for hundreds of years of existence, there had never been a precedent for orcs to come to work in the castle.
"If we are only satisfied with the production of 120 kilograms per day, then with our manpower, it will be enough. ”
"However, our Black Flame family's ambitions don't stop there, we want to expand more production lines, and we want to increase the daily output to more than 500 kilograms!"
