Mid-September.

In the Jiangnan area, the busy farming period of each manor in Xujiazhuang has basically ended, and the granules have been returned to the warehouse.

The villagers who are in charge of agricultural work can finally relax and rest for a while, and if they are really not idle, they can go to the factory to work as a temporary worker, go to the farm to help, or go to the field to run logistics, etc., to earn some extra income.

In addition, although it has not reached the end of the year, the nine years of Chongzhen have not completely passed.

However, Xujiazhuang's various economic data this year are also basically released, and the production activities in winter will be significantly reduced, and people also need to use this time to rest and consume, so they can probably predict the economic operation of the three months at the end of the year, and the error is very small.

For Xujiazhuang, this year is another year of explosive growth.

GDP is expected to exceed 5.5 billion silver dollars, an increase of 57% from last year.

The consumption of coal energy reached 182 million tons.

Cement production reached 73 million tons.

Steel production reached 2.45 million tons.

Fertilizer production reached 6.33 million tons.

White sugar production reached 1.3 million tons.

Biodiesel production reached 875,000 tonnes (capacity is somewhat insufficient).

The total grain storage is about 80 million tons (i.e. 1.28 billion stones).

The total stock weight of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and other livestock is about 8 billion catties, according to the 50% slaughter rate, multiplied by 50% of the meat rate, it is expected to get 2 billion catties of meat.

This weight of meat is divided by the total population of 18 million in Xujiazhuang.

This year's per capita meat consumption is expected to reach 111 catties.

This share does not represent the per capita meat consumption, after all, the canned meat produced in Xujiazhuang will be sold to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to supplying meat products to the entire Ming Dynasty, and the consumption in this area will probably occupy forty percent of the meat production.

But the remaining sixty percent is mainly the population consumption within Xujiazhuang, that is, the per capita meat consumption is about 66.66 catties.

In addition, the people of Xujiazhuang will also consume a large number of aquatic products, such as freshwater fish and shrimp, marine fish, shrimp and crabs, etc., the total consumption of aquatic products this year, at least more than 12 million stones, and then divided by 18 million people, per capita consumption of more than 83.33 catties.

Add it to the meat.

The total amount of fish and meat eaten per capita in Xujiazhuang exceeds 150 catties a year.

Even if the nutritional value of fish is not as high as meat, it takes two catties of fish to compare to one catty of meat, which is converted to 108.3 catties.

Therefore, no matter in the strict sense or in the broad sense, there is no doubt that Xujiazhuang eats more than 100 catties of meat per capita.

And whether it is the wealthy class or the low-income group in Xujiazhuang, they have all reached the standard of eating more than 100 catties of meat, the difference is that wealthy families eat more meat, low-income families eat more fish, shrimp and crabs, especially fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish in the sea, etc., the price is generally very cheap, and it is not distressing to buy more than ten catties at a time, as long as you are not afraid of gout and other symptoms, you can eat it every day.

That is, Xujiazhuang eats more than 100 catties of meat per capita, and there is no water, but it eats so much, and even causes many people to begin to face obesity.

So on September 20, the latest issue of the "Oriental Times", its front page headline was "The prosperous era opens, and the per capita annual meat consumption of Xujiazhuang is expected to exceed 100 catties", this report was seen by the intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty and heard by the people.

Boom. ….

It immediately caused a sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even caused unprecedented heated discussions, and almost every Ming people were discussing it.

Because meat is so important.

It is the most nutritious food.

It is the most delicious and craving food.

It is the epitome of a prosperous and happy life.

It is the most intuitive indicator of whether a family is doing well, and its importance is second only to whether it can be fed.

Therefore, the heat and breadth of the discussion on this topic has exceeded that of any previous topic.

Don't believe me, first

At first, many people expressed disbelief and felt unimaginable.

"I eat 100 catties of meat per capita, and my family of eight people eats 800 catties of meat a year, and I can eat more than 2 catties a day? How is this possible, the landlord's family can't eat meat every day, and none of the rich people I've ever met, including those who are officials, can eat meat every day, it's too fake!"

"The price of a pound of meat is at least sixty or seventy yuan, and a hundred pounds is six or seven silver dollars, and I earn more than a dozen silver dollars a year of hard work, and I have to spend half of it on meat, the problem is that I still have to support my family, I have to buy clothes and salt, and buy this and that for my family, I can't wait to break two petals of flowers for a penny, where is the condition to eat meat, only at the end of the year, when the New Year, can I buy three or five pounds to enjoy it, and I basically can't see meat."

"A hundred catties of meat, hahaha, the meat I've eaten in my life doesn't add up to that much!"

"Is Xu Jiazhuang really so rich? How many pigs, cattle and sheep does Xujiazhuang have to raise in order to grow so much meat, and how much grain do these pigs, cattle and sheep have to eat?"

Most of the readers and the common people were shocked and envious.

"I eat 100 catties of meat per capita, I have been studying hard for 20 years, and I finally became a seven-grade county order, but I can't eat so much meat, and I am not as good as a commoner in Xujiazhuang, haha, this is not as good as breaking the county order."

"Why can't I even eat ten catties of meat a year, why can the people of Xujiazhuang eat so much? What must I do so that I can eat meat every day?"

"May I ask if Xujiazhuang still accepts people, I am willing to work hard for Xujiazhuang, and I am willing to be an obedient dog, as long as I eat meat and reward a few more bones!"

"Why hasn't the Xu family manor expanded yet? This day is almost unbearable, corrupt officials, landlords and gentry exploit and oppress me every day, even if the income can buy more than 100 catties of meat, but at least forty percent will be taken away, and the rest can only barely make ends meet, I can't stand it, Xujiazhuang expand quickly, if it goes on like this, *** simply kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then hide in Xujiazhuang." A farmer from Nanzhili.

"Yes, it's been three or four years, why hasn't Xujiazhuang expanded yet, is it useless for us to kneel down and beg for expansion, how can we merge us?"

"It's better for us to kill the officials, no longer pay taxes to the government, and then build our own manor, and announce that we have joined Xujiazhuang, I don't know if Xujiazhuang will accept us if we do this."

"That's a good idea, I can't stand it anymore, the government can only ask for us, and can't do anything for us, what's the use of having such an official government? We might as well take care of ourselves!"

"If the imperial court can have one-tenth of Xujiazhuang's ability and let us eat twenty catties of meat per capita, why would we lose so much people's hearts?" ….

"Although I, Wei, have a reputation for being famous, and I also have hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, if Xujiazhuang expands one day, my family will be the first to respond! Without a piece of silver dollar compensation, reading the book of sages can't save the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can't be prosperous, only the Xujiazhuang model can realize that everyone is rich and everyone is like a dragon!"

In addition, there are a small number of readers and people who belong to Xujiazhuang, who did not have too much heated discussion about this report, and their performance was quite bland, and even gave people a feeling of Versailles.

"How much is it that people eat 100 catties of meat per capita? On average, it's only three taels a day, and it's just a slightly larger piece of Dongpo meat, not much at all."

"Indeed, it's only three taels a day, and I think it's just right to increase to half a pound of meat a day, and it won't lead to severe obesity."

"I think this amount of meat is completely enough, just right, very healthy, and then a three-tael-heavy fish, and eat half a catty of vegetables and fruits, the healthiest lifestyle should be like this."

"In favor, you can't simply pursue quantity in the future, but also have to pursue quality, for example, the owner of the Huaxia Sacred Cow raised by the owner, is every day listening to songs, drinking wine, and being massaged to grow up, the taste of this beef, tsk, I can't forget it for a lifetime, but unfortunately the quantity is not much, I only got a catty, since then I feel that there is no taste for eating any meat, it is difficult to be frugal from luxury, I only hope to be able to eat ten catties of Huaxia Divine Beef every year, it is very satisfied." This is a humane who works inside the White Castle.

"Is Huaxia God Beef really so delicious? Can I buy it? Is it expensive? Even if the price is very expensive, I want to buy a few catties to try it, I have the money.

The food-loving businessman's eyes lit up.

"Ahh Don't say any more, don't provoke me anymore, if you say this again, I'll kill myself to show you!"

The worker who worked in Xujiazhuang but was difficult to settle down said with red eyes, he was very stimulated, he dreamed of joining Xujiazhuang, but it was difficult, it was too difficult, although he worked here and could eat a lot of meat, but his family could not enjoy it together, and he was still struggling on the edge of poverty, and these people in Xujiazhuang actually did not pay much attention to eating 100 catties of meat per capita, but began to pursue quality.

How could he stand this, how could he contain the urge to go crazy in his heart?

……

The other side.

In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City.

After reading the latest issue of "Oriental Times", I saw that Xujiazhuang has achieved the goal of eating more than 100 catties of meat per capita.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was in a very bad mood.

Very uncomfortable and bored, feeling very irritable and depressed, like a weak student who finally got 60 points and passed the test through hard study, and suddenly saw that the top student easily scored 100 points, and he looked relaxed and indifferent, which made Zhu Youzhen unacceptable from the bottom of his heart.

The per capita meat consumption is 100 catties, which may be just a cold, light and statistical figure for Xujiazhuang.

But for most people in the Ming Dynasty, it is a goal that can never be reached, and it is very difficult to even eat twenty or thirty catties of meat per capita.

Even Zhu Youzhen specially sent someone to investigate and find out about the amount of meat eaten inside the palace.

It turned out that the average annual meat consumption of the royal family members, who have been often criticized by civil officials for extravagance, is less than 100 catties, and only 70 or 80 catties. ….

As for the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, the per capita meat consumption will only be lower, and it is estimated that it is only forty or fifty catties.

And this is still based on the fact that the royal finances have been greatly improved in recent years, especially this year, the royal farm run by Fang Yizhi has achieved a good harvest, in addition to 5 million stone of grain, he also sent people to send 20,000 fat pigs and 30,000 sheep, which can probably produce 2.5 million catties of meat, but after some extortion and extortion by civil officials, asking for mercy, and giving 50,000 new troops a reward of ten catties of meat each, to improve their loyalty.

In the end, there were only about 500,000 catties of meat left, which was an average score for everyone in the palace, and this year's per capita meat consumption could not exceed 100 catties.

Defy.

Zhu Youzhen felt strongly unconvinced!

"I can't let everyone in the Ming Dynasty eat 100 catties of meat, can't I make this small palace eat 100 catties of meat per capita? I am not poor now, and I must not allow all aspects to be compared with Xujiazhuang, otherwise the hearts of the people in the world will go to Xujiazhuang, how can I be the emperor? This year, I will buy an additional hundreds of thousands of catties of meat, and I will have to catch up with the amount of meat inside the palace, and I must press Xu Jiazhuang!"

Zhu Youzhen said secretly.

However, when he told this plan to Queen Zhou, her sister-in-law Zhang Yan and others, he said that in the future, there must be big fish and meat on the table every day, including palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, and the amount of meat each person eats per day must not be less than four taels.

Empress Zhou persuaded him: "Your Majesty, in the palace, there are now more than 15,000 people of all kinds, each of whom eats 100 catties of meat, that is, 1.5 million catties, and the price of meat in the capital is high, at least 150,000 silver dollars will be consumed, which is not a small expense."

The imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan said: "Xujiazhuang is the power of merchants, it is no problem to eat a thousand catties of meat per capita, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is an example for all the people in the world. How will the officials advise? Your Majesty, forget it, it's okay for us to eat two more bites of meat, but we must not make such a big splash."

Hear this.

Zhu Youzhen wilted, and his angry thoughts of wanting to compare with Xu Jiazhuang suddenly disappeared.

What the emperor's sister-in-law said is right, the people criticize it, and the civil officials will definitely rise up to advise, who made him the emperor, the people are suffering and eating grass, and he dares to eat so much meat when he is the emperor? That heavy responsibility will only require him to eat less meat, and if he wants to eat more, he will be criticized and opposed, and even lose the support of the people, causing disapproval

Full and furious.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen realized that he knew why Xu Yuan didn't want to be the emperor anymore, and he didn't want to do this hard profession!
