Chapter 1183: Cost
"I wonder what price the processing plant collects those fish and shrimps?"
A blunt minister asked.
Although he asked about the processing plant, the processing plant was opened by Ying Feiyu, so this is no different from asking him directly!
The ministers around him gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.
Good guy, ask Your Majesty directly in person, and you are not afraid that Your Majesty will show you face?
However, Ying Feiyu not only did not have a trace of anger, but said the approximate pricing of fish, shrimp and crabs, and finally said with a smile: "Although the price of shrimp and crabs is high, the quantity is small!" Don't look at the price of marine fish is slightly lower, but the quantity is huge, accounting for eighty percent of the catch! If you average it, there should be about 20 wen per catty! ”
He is not disgusted by this kind of minister who has a straightforward personality and asks questions whenever he has something.
But those who find fault for what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality are also those who find fault with them!
The price of marine fish collected by the factory is not a secret that cannot be said, and there is nothing wrong with asking in person.
If he chews the root of his tongue behind his back, he is disgusted!
"Twenty wen? This price is not low, and after a year, there are 20 million gold! ”
"Yes! Nanhai City is as warm as spring even in winter, and fishing will not be delayed as usual! ”
"20 million gold, even if you deduct the consumption for the soldiers and steamers, there will still be fifteen million gold left! This fifteen million gold is already about to catch up with Daqin's taxes in the first half of the year! ”
"No! Anyway, the steamer is idle, and with such a large sum of money in the account every year, how many bridges can be built and how many roads can be paved for the people......? ”
The money earned from fishing is equivalent to buying and selling without capital.
As long as there are fish in the sea, the imperial court will be able to have such a large income every year!
"Your Majesty, the navy shoots so many fish every day, maybe it will be consumed?"
An old minister of the Ministry of Rites asked with a little worry.
If it can't be consumed, the processing plant will not continue to buy marine fish, and the soldiers will have to stop fishing, and the imperial court will naturally not have such a high income!
"That's right, nearly 300,000 catties of sea fish every day, can the people eat it all?"
"What does the taste of sea fish taste like, we have never tasted it, what if the taste does not match the taste of the people, and the people don't like it? When the time comes, don't say 300,000 catties, even if you don't sell 30,000 catties a day! ”
"Hmmm! That's a problem......! ”
There are also ministers who are beginning to worry.
Although the harvest is huge, if there is no sales, it is equivalent to a waste of effort!
"Haha! Look at you old guys, you haven't been to the beach, you haven't eaten sea fish! ”
"That's right! Look at the way you look like you've never seen the world! ”
However, as soon as their words fell, they were ridiculed by Kang Anping and Zhang Han.
"If I'm not mistaken, the wives of your families have also traveled to Jiaodong County and Nanhai County, right?"
Wang Ben asked.
"That's right!"
Several people nodded one after another.
The travel agency was established, and almost all the nobles in the city signed up for the trip one after another.
The price is not high, and you can experience the customs of other places, who doesn't rush to sign up?
"Calculate the time, it is estimated that the tour group should be back soon in the next few days, why don't you ask your wife when the time comes, what is the taste of the seafood, and you will know!"
Wang Ben said with a smile.
"Lao Wang is right! We can't describe the taste of seafood to you! ”
Kang Anping echoed and laughed sarcastically.
They have been to the beach several times, and they have also tasted different ways to eat seafood, which can be said to be endless.
And those old ministers are different, most of them have never traveled far, let alone to the beach.
You must not know anything about seafood, so you will have to worry about this!
"After the fish and shrimp are processed, they lose a lot of water! After it is really done, the original weight of 100,000 catties can be considered good if there are 60,000 catties! Moreover, the sea fish is delicious and nutritious, and it must be loved by the people! ”
At this point, Ying Feiyu has never been worried.
At the time of the last census, the number of people in Daqin alone had grown to more than 40 million.
If you add the alien races that have just been incorporated into the territory of Great Qin in recent years, the population will more than triple again!
With so many people, can't they finish consuming this bit of seafood?
Besides, he is not ready to set the price of seafood too high, mainly based on sales, so that the people can eat it!
"I see!"
After several ministers nodded knowingly, the topic was over, and the ministers began to talk about other matters.
After the early morning, Ying Feiyu went to the imperial study to write down the characteristics, eating methods and nutritional values of various seafood, and ordered someone to send it to the newspaper office and publish it in the next day's newspaper to prepare for the seafood that will be on sale!
Newspapers have been around in Great Qin for six years, and the people have developed a habit of learning about the strange things that happened in various parts of Great Qin and the latest policies promulgated by the imperial court through newspapers every morning!
In addition, the newspaper will also publish some life tips, home-cooked recipes, recruitment information, lost and found, and other information that benefits the people!
This made the people more dependent on newspapers and became an indispensable part of their lives!
"A seafood processing workshop was set up in Nanhai County? Drying sea fish, making canned food? ”
"I've eaten canned lychees, canned mangoes, and I really haven't eaten canned sea fish? Anyway, what does this sea fish taste like when it's canned? ”
"Who knows! I don't even know what the sea looks like, let alone canned fish! ”
"It's not like canned lychees and canned mangoes, it's sweet, right?"
"I don't know! What does it have to taste like when you make fish sweet......? ”
When a few people saw the contents of the newspaper, they began to speculate.
The only canned food they came into contact with was canned fruit, and they had never tasted anything else.
When I heard that I wanted to make canned sea fish, I thought about the taste of canned fruit.
When layered on top of the fish, it feels a little weird!
"The newspaper says that marine fish are rich in nutrients and have many benefits for the body!"
"Yes, I've heard of this before, it seems that there is a kind of grass in the sea, which can beautify black hair and relieve dizziness after eating!"
"Oh? Since there are so many benefits, why don't we buy some and try them when the time comes? ”
"I'm going to do that too! When it's time to buy a few dried fish and take it home, ...... taste what it tastes like! ”
The people were afraid that the canned food would taste weird, so they set their sights on the dried fish.
If you want to dry the fish, you must add salt, and they can accept this taste.
Thinking of the sweet fish, everyone unconsciously pursed their lips!
"I just don't know how much it costs?"
The estimated cost of fishing is a lot of money, and I don't know if ordinary people can afford it.
"Didn't the newspaper say that the price of seafood varies depending on the type of seafood! Marine fish will be cheaper, like shrimp and crabs will be slightly more expensive, when the time comes, we can buy it on demand! ”
"That's right! If the price is high, let's buy less and let the family try it! ”
"Yes, yes......!"
