Chapter 175
Liu Jin took the lead in writing down the salt making method on paper, and this thing should be handed over to the Zhen family to maximize the benefits.
Whether it is looking for poisonous salt mines or sales channels, the energy exerted by the Zhen family will definitely exceed imagination.
Then there are a lot of seeds. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wheat have been planted in Yingchuan.
Corn, hybrid rice, cotton, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers remain.
Among them, corn, hybrid rice and cotton must be vigorously cultivated. As for peanuts, tomatoes and peppers, they are optional and not the focus at this stage.
Liu Jin wrote and drew on paper, and wrote down some planting precautions in his impression, indicating how to plant, where the fruit is, how to store it, how to deal with the produced seeds, and so on.
Anyway, Liu Jin wrote down everything he could think of. As for the specific situation in the planting, Zhen Yi could only send someone to sum up the experience while planting.
Then there are the blueprints of the secret recipes, such as cement, coal mine distribution map, curved plow, new steel irrigation method, rice mill, Mo knife, Zhuge Liannu and stepper armor.
As for the horseshoe, there is no need for it. When it is needed in the future, blacksmiths can be summoned to make it quickly.
There are also crayfish, wait for the folks to recover some vitality in a few years before considering releasing them, otherwise they will have to compete with the common people for food.
Liu Jin re-transcribed these things and replaced the characters with Han Li, which is convenient for Zhen Yi to read and watch.
Among them, coal mines were also replaced with graphite. There was coal in this era, but most of it was used for industrial purposes such as smelting metals.
As for civilian use, there is no one for the time being. In the eyes of the world, this thing is poisonous and will kill people. It is safer to use charcoal, but it is too expensive.
Liu Jin sorted out the things he currently owns. The current military expenditure should not be a problem for the Zhen family. With the income of white paper and snowflake salt, it is completely enough.
But money, no one thinks too much, and the future expenses are estimated to be even greater.
So Liu Jin thought of sugar, distilled wine, soap and perfume, all of which are profiteering industries.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Jin only wrote down the production process of white sugar, and I will talk about the rest later.
In terms of wine, the whole country is short of food, so how can they be willing to use a large amount of food to make wine.
Soap and perfume, it is more appropriate to wait for the world to be peaceful before releasing them.
And if all these things are taken out, the Zhen family will definitely become the target of public criticism, and it is impossible for Liu Jin to stay in the Zhen family forever.
You know, if there are three times the profits, those capitalists will trample on everything in the world unless they have enough influence.
White sugar is still very easy to make, using the yellow mud decolorization method.
Boil sucrose into syrup, add an appropriate amount of yellow mud water, stir evenly and let it stand for a while, let the yellow mud water absorb the pigment and impurities in the syrup, then pour out the clear syrup on the upper layer, heat and boil to separate out the white sugar.
Or pour sucrose directly with yellow mud water, the pigment and impurities will be taken away, leaving white sugar.
Of course, the two methods are the same in principle, the difference is that the former is more suitable for large-scale production.
After finishing everything, it was already noon.
After lunch, Liu Jin found Zhen Yi and gave him the things he had packed.
Zhen Yi watched carefully, Liu Jin didn't bother him, and drank hot water on his own.
It didn't take long for Zhen Yi to read it again. To be honest, he was a little confused.
My son-in-law is not only good at martial arts and poetry, but also good at farming, doing business and investigating things.
He doesn't understand other things. For white sugar, you have to buy sucrose, and the profit is limited, but if this snowflake salt is real, it will be a real huge profit.
"Ziqian, can this snowflake salt really be made from poisonous salt mine?" Zhen Yi couldn't believe it.
Liu Jin nodded affirmatively, "That's right, my [-] troops in Yingchuan are currently living on this salt, and the price is one gold cake and one stone."
Zhen Yi swallowed his saliva in disbelief, what the hell is stealing money.
Although a piece of gold cake doesn't look like much, you must know that salt is an indispensable daily consumable, and every household has to eat it.
Of course, ordinary people can't afford such expensive salt, but as long as all the rich and noble families use snowflake salt, it will also be a huge fortune.
"Don't worry, Ziqian, if you leave it to us, you will definitely not be disappointed." Zhen Yi promised impassionedly.
"Of course I know my father-in-law's ability to do business." Liu Jin said with a smile.
"Haha, I don't dare to say anything else. In business, we have never been afraid of anyone." Zhen Yi showed off with joy.
Liu Jin looked at Zhen Yi amusedly, it means you have never encountered a dimensionality reduction blow.
"Father-in-law can handle the business by himself, but corn, hybrid rice and cotton must be handled with care. In the future, this will affect the livelihood of the people of the world." Liu Jin's expression was a little serious.
Seeing Liu Jin's serious expression, Zhen Yi also understood the position of these three things in Liu Jin's heart, and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Ziqian, we will be taken care of."
"The first year's output will be reserved for all seeds, and the second year will continue to be planted. The rice output will drop sharply in the second year, but it will be higher than the usual rice output." Liu Jin continued to exhort.
"Train more cement firing personnel, I will use them in the future."
"After the success of the Guangang method experiment, first build a few Liannu, Modao and infantry armor, and then ask people to bring them to Yingchuan to find me. My father-in-law can continue to build here, and other weapons can also be used. In short, the more the better. "
"and also……"
Liu Jin babbled a lot, and Zhen Yi directly took a pen and paper to record it.
At the end, Liu Jin stopped talking dry mouth and tongue, and took a few sips of water.
"Father-in-law, that's all for now. I'll hand over the seeds to the housekeeper later, so I'll take my leave first."
"Okay." Zhen Yi nodded and continued to read these records. He needed to sort out which things needed to be done quickly and which things could be delayed.
Liu Jin came out of Zhen Yi's study, found housekeeper Zhen, and asked him to find some vacant rooms.
Then, under Steward Zhen's stunned gaze, Liu Jin released corn seeds, hybrid rice seeds and cotton seeds.
Housekeeper Zhen lay on the ground again, kowtowed to Liu Jin, and swore that he would work hard in the future.
Liu Jin didn't bother to talk to him, so he put down [-] catties each of peanuts, tomatoes, and chili seeds and left. Anyway, these three things are not important, so just plant them casually.
Only Steward Zhen's fanatical face was left on the spot, muttering to himself: "The methods of the gods, the methods of the gods."
The next day, Liu Jin bid farewell to the members of Zhen's family, although Zhen Yi tried to persuade him to stay, but Liu Jin's intention to go was decided.
After breakfast, Liu Jin took Dianwei all the way west, heading straight for Zhending.
Zhao Zilong, wait for my favor in vain.
It's time for you to repay your favor, come to my bowl quickly.
