Chapter 734: The Emperor's Business

Afterwards, there were guards who brought more than a dozen glasses of milk, pure white milk, and the unique aroma of milk instantly filled the entire tent.

The guards gave each person a glass of milk, and Meng Yi had it too.

Meng Yi picked up the cup and said, "This is made of milk powder, the temperature of the water soaked in milk should not be too high, nor too low, my hands feel a little hot, but I can just melt into my mouth when I drink it.

According to the emperor, the water temperature is between 40 and 50 degrees. If it is too high, it will damage the nutritional value of the milk powder, and if it is too low, it will not be able to dissolve.

Now let's have a drink and give it a try."

When the people heard this, they picked up the cups of milk, and some of them looked at them first, and then drank the milk.

Some people stick out their tongues and lick them first, and find that the taste is very good, so they drink it in one gulp.

Soon everyone finished drinking the milk, and everyone was eager to finish the last drop of milk in the cup.

Meng Yi said, "Everyone has drunk the milk powder, how does it taste?"

"It's delicious." The veteran said, "But does this really make the juniors grow taller and stronger?"

"Of course." Meng Yi said, "It's not just children. There are also elderly people who drink it every day, so it is not easy to get osteoporosis."

"What is osteoporosis?" The veteran asked again.

"The emperor said that when people get older, they will not be able to do it before, in fact, it is caused by osteoporosis, and the older you get, the weaker you are."

There were people at the scene who were suddenly excited, especially a few older veterans, who felt completely powerless, but as the Meng family's army, they were not allowed to retreat.

Now when it comes to milk as a cure for osteoporosis, how can they not be excited.

"Just drink milk?" A veteran asked.

"Drinking milk can only alleviate it, it can't cure it, and milk is not a panacea, but one thing is for sure, the physique of the Huns is stronger than that of the people of Daqin, in addition to the fact that they often ride horses and shoot arrows, the biggest reason is that they can drink milk and goat's milk every day.

We didn't know before, so there was no way, but now that we know, we can't ignore it. So the emperor researched milk powder.

This milk powder retains all the essence of milk and goat milk powder, which is very suitable for everyone to drink.

The highest yields are cow's milk powder, because cattle are easy to feed, followed by goat milk powder, and finally camel milk powder.

Another good thing about sheep is wool, wool can be sheared twice a year, how to shear, how to preserve, etc., there will be someone to teach you, and then every year I will arrange someone to collect it, although rest assured."

"Lord Meng Yi, are you going to collect this wool or are you going to collect it on behalf of someone else?" Han Xin asked.

He saw a business opportunity in it, and he turned wool into a woolen sweater or sweater, and he seemed to be able to do it himself.

Everyone is a general, how could they not understand what Han Xin meant, and they all sneered, this Han Xin is so ignorant.

Meng Yi smiled and said, "I'm buying everyone's wool on behalf of the Emperor, who has a large wool processing factory and textile mill that can turn wool into wool or weave cloth with other materials.

And Mr. also has the largest garment workshop in Daqin. You can make 1,000 pieces of clothing a day, and if you need to, you can even make 10,000 pieces.

For example, the sweaters and cotton clothes and trousers on your body are all made in the garment workshop of the gentleman."

When Han Xin heard this, a huge wave rose in his heart, thousands of clothes a day, how many people have to be making them? How much money can you make in a year?

Meng Yi continued: "There are a lot of industries in the emperor, and the garment workshop is one of them, as well as jerky, milk powder, cement workshop, paper, ink, pen and inkstone workshop, lantern workshop, iron-making workshop, etc., I can't tell for a while, anyway, there are a lot of them.

But rest assured, the emperor is not the kind of person who exploits, although he has taken the business of wool and milk.

But the jerky business belongs to everyone, in order to prevent the jerky made by everyone from being similar and having different tastes, which will affect the market and cause no one to buy your jerky in the future

If you buy it, it will be worth the loss.

Therefore, Emperor suggests that you each set up a brand with your own packaging. Or you join forces and set up a large workshop to specialize in the jerky business.

Not only do you do jerky business, you can also sell mutton, now the people of Daqin are living higher and higher, basically they have money in their hands, and it is absolutely no problem to buy a few catties of mutton occasionally.

Take Xianyang City as an example, with a population of one million, 100,000 people eat mutton every day, how many sheep do you think you need to consume a day?

According to the calculation of one person and a half catty, 100,000 people is 50,000 catties, and a sheep weighs 100 catties, and all the bones, internal organs and meat that can be used are retained, and it is almost forty or fifty catties.

Therefore, it is necessary to consume about a thousand sheep per day, and this is still a city in Xianyang City, and in ten years, the population of Daqin will increase tenfold.

How many sheep do 300 million people need to consume? It's not just about raising, it's about beef."

"Kill a cow?" Everyone was shocked.

Meng Yi immediately explained: "You don't need to panic, now Daqin has developed a steam ploughing truck, which can easily cultivate fifty acres of land in a day, and only a few people are needed.

When it's very busy, the plough truck can plough 100 acres a day, and don't forget that there is not just one plough truck, but we can make as many as we want."

Shock, in addition to shock, is shock.

They had never heard of this at the border, as if Meng Yi was talking about the Arabian Nights.

Han Xin spoke again, "Lord Meng Yi, what you said is true?"

"What? You don't believe me?" Meng Yi said.

"The last general wouldn't dare, but it was too unbelievable. The last general believes that all the generals present will probably not believe it." Han Xin said.

Meng Yi looked at all the generals present, and from their eyes, he saw doubts.

Meng Yi said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court now has not only steam plough carts, but also harvesting carts, sowing carts and other new agricultural tools.

Moreover, these farm tools are still being updated, and these farm tools will be lighter in the future, completely releasing the labor force of farmers.

You'll find out when you go back later, and now I'm talking too much about it, so I might as well see it with your own eyes."

"Lord Meng Yi, since you have a steam plough truck, can you also have a border pass?" Han Xin said.

"Yes, but the production of steam plough trucks is complicated, so far, there are less than a thousand, and if you want to popularize it throughout the country, you can only wait until the emperor comes out of the mountain." Meng Yi replied.

"After the emperor came out of the mountain, he used his ability. Increasing the yield, or updating the plough cart and then mass production, the emperor thinks that the current plough cart is not the best, and it can be renewed." Meng Yi said.

"The third update, the world is cheeky to ask for a monthly pass, a reward, a recommendation!!
