Chapter 321 How did the gentry be trained

Yanei shook his head: "Not so little. If the salt can keep up, marinate the meat into bacon, and add the income from whale bone and whale oil... On average, the wax on each whale will have a profit of about 100,000 yuan. This is because the liquid wax I sold to Dalang is too cheap, and three pounds are only two cents."

Huang's father narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, picked up his chopsticks and added a piece of whale meat, and said with a deep face: "A small boat, going out to catch a Kun fish in a month, will earn 100,000 yuan. The whole boat's people share the meals, which is more comfortable than ordinary farmers."

Yanei was proud: "The profit from wax is still small, whale oil is the big deal. The whale oil is refined, or used as lamp oil or as a ingredient in Dalang's workshop..."

When Yanei said this, Shi Chuan stepped on him heavily. This movement was too obvious and Shi Chuan didn't feel embarrassed. Huang's father felt that this might touch Shi Chuan's business secret. He quickly asked down: "What about Kunskin skin? What about Kunskin skin? What are the benefits of this Kunskin skin?"

Yanei closed his mouth tightly. Shi Chuan felt that he had acted too hard just now. In order to avoid Huang's father's random thoughts, he thought it would be better to make the topic a little worse. He pointed to Shi Yanei and said, "Yanei's father is the chief of Tongzhou."

This introduction made Huang Dad stand up again and greet the Yanei. Liu Xu and Liu Bancheng also stood up to salute - they were both a seventh-rank magistrate, and they did not dare to be looked down upon when they met the Yanei at the fifth-rank magistrate's home.

After both sides sat back, Shi Chuan pointed at Shi Yanehan and said vaguely: "The two fins on the whale are commonly known as shark fins. They are very delicious food and are very expensive. As for the fish skin, the skin on the head of the Kun fish is the thickest and hardest, the skin on the back is second, the skin on the abdomen is the softest - uncle, the flesh of the whale is like veal, it is actually a kind of cow-like existence in the sea. The cubs born by the female Kun must be breastfeeded."

Huang's father looked confused: "There are really amazing things in the sea. Little fish also need to eat milk, which is something I have never heard of."

When Wang saw the topic distorted, he was so anxious that he was sweating. He quickly asked, "Is this fish skin valuable? How much does it cost to sell one?"

Shi Chuan looked at Wang and felt helpless that Wang had not heard his hint clearly for a long time... Alas, this is the difference in IQ. I can hit rabbits when I hug the grass, but why do people always come out to hit rabbits and finally carry the grass home?

"Fish skin needs to be treated specially. The skin on the head of Kunyu is thicker. It can be sold as rhinoceros skin after dehydration and compression. The skin on the back and abdomen can be treated as cowhide. The skin on the tail is the softest and can be used for clothes and luggage."

Wang suddenly realized and grabbed another point: "Oh, when you were in the capital, you gave us a few crane buckles. My husband cherished the leather crane buckles very much. Because two of them were given to someone, my husband felt distressed for several days because of this. It turned out that it was made of this leather.

Ah, I also forgot the rhino leather mats you gave you and the novel cages, oh... When I left the capital, suddenly the cages became popular in the capital. I sent out a few old ones, even the old ones, which made people envious for a while."

Speaking of this, Wang's eyes were bright: "Your crane buckle is really good. When you wear it on a rainy day, it doesn't touch any rain. The rain water rolls down from above, and the rain water is like a ball, which is very cute. It turns out that it is all made of Kun leather... Your cage is bright in color. Can't you use the same bright leather to make clothes? I'm afraid that women can wear clothes of that color."

Because of Wang's family, Shizhang and Shi Yanei originally talked endlessly and designed an investment promotion conference, which turned into a clothing and popular clothing discussion. Shizhang replied weakly: "Leather clothes, I made a few leather clothes, but unfortunately the price is too expensive and most people can't afford it. Only some of the sects like this kind of clothes. Now the clothes are called 'captain's suits'. As for the cages... When you go shopping tomorrow, let the butler lead you to the shop to measure your figure and let the tailor make a few pieces. Ha, the clothes are worn out and kept in Shuyang City is the first."

Wang was happy in his heart and licked his face and replied: "Since it is my son-in-law's shop, of course I won't be polite."

Dad Huang fell down, put down his chopsticks and said, "Nothing"

This was a formal banquet. At the banquet, Huang's father was not good for scolding his wife, who was a husband, and hurt the decent Huang family. This sentence was said by Huang's father when he could no longer bear it, but Wang had already got what he thought of, and she did not defend herself and lowered her head to continue eating.

It was not until this moment that the merchants who had been patient for a long time got the opportunity to interrupt. Several merchants walked up to toast with wine glasses. After the toast, they did not go down and stood there to greet: "Dalang, Yanei, what you said just now is based on the sea as the field, can you tell me in detail?"

"That's it," another toast merchant said, "It's the sea as the field. I was moved just now - buying a boat is like buying land, and hiring a sailor is like hiring a tenant. If you can go out, you can catch a Kun fish. If you can't catch a Kun fish, you can sail to Xiaoliuqiu. If you can pull a ship of saltpeter or bird dropping back, it will also be a profit. If you can buy hawksch, coral, and dragon scent in Xiaoliuqiu, the income will not be less than farming. Dalang just said that he had a shareholding. What is the constitution? Can you tell me?"

Oh my God, you finally opened your eyes.

The topic of Wang's fork road was finally turned around and was filled with a slightest moment.

In order to prevent people from breaking up the topic, Shi Chuan hurriedly stated: "This matter needs long-term consideration. Unfortunately, today is not a good opportunity to discuss. Everyone, let's discuss it in detail after the banquet. How about it?"

Yanei glared at Wang with dissatisfaction, and smiled silly and said, "That's right, I am a foodie here to have a meal today. Everyone knows that the food in Dalang's family is excellent. I want to have enough money today."

That's enough. Several merchants who toasted left with satisfaction. The guest at the same table asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

"Leave a gap in the conversation and discuss after the banquet," the retired merchant replied.

"A boat costs at least 3,000 guan," the merchant at the same table muttered in pain.

"It's worth it." The guest who was just asked quickly replied: "Three thousand guan can buy about 300 acres of land. How much profit can these 300 acres of land have in a year? One thousand guan will be dead. This has to be a good year. But the land has corvee and taxes, but in fact it can't earn that much.

A tenant farmer is already very capable of operating ten acres of land, and it requires more labor at home to manage it. Three hundred acres of land requires thirty tenants... But I heard that a whaling ship can operate only ten people, and the fishing boat does not have corvee service, so at most taxes are collected.

A family cannot afford 3,000 guan, and several families gather together. On time, Dalang said that he would benefit by sharing dividends based on shares. He would make more money than a small shop, let alone land."

"Yes," the merchant who toasted just now whispered: "What kind of virtue is our Jushan Salt Field? Everyone knows that it is rumored that Shi Yanei also participated in private salt smuggling. We really want to do it, and we don't have to worry about the source of salt. With salt, the income from bacon alone is not bad as the income from 300 acres of land. I heard that each Kun fish is as big as a boat, and all the 300 acres of land is used to raise cattle. Can you harvest the same amount of bacon in a year?

Furthermore, Shi Dalang came to Haizhou with nothing and earned a lot of money in a few years. Didn’t the capital for starting a business come from Kunyu? If Dalang couldn’t eat it, even if we opened a shop ourselves, figured out the tricks and made goods like Dalang, that wouldn’t be..."

"Shh", several voices on the table sounded at the same time: "Do you die, have you forgotten what Fang Juren is doing, dare to imitate Shi Dalang's things?"

"How can it be?" The man on the table replied tremblingly: "Dalang makes snow cream, we won't mess with that thing, Dalang makes luggage and clothes, we won't participate, but let Dalang get some skewers, we will do something else, and we won't argue with Dalang, I guess..."

The same scene was staged on various tables, and Shi Chuan was very proud when he heard these whispers - it is said that the powerful navy and sailors were trained in the whaling fleet. How many warships would be needed in the future war? One hundred, one thousand? These crew members were usually kept by Shi Chuan, and no amount of money he earned was enough.

And let those crew members store in the whaling fleet - the whaling fleet that is in stake, then they not only do not need to support them, but also bring wealth to the whaling fleet continuously...

Cuizhuang's workshops have already been on track. Now the production of workshops is difficult to meet the demand of the capital market. When Chu Suzhen's matter is over and Haizhou shops are reopened, Shi Chuan needs more raw materials. Shi Yanei's whaling fleet can no longer solve the problem. At this time, foreign funds are introduced and Haizhou merchants are taken to pack and roll them into a community of interests. So, whoever comes to Haizhou to become an official in the future will have to look at Shi Chuan's expression. As long as Shi Chuan does a little trick and the local officials cannot complete the tax task, he will get out.

What is a gentry? That's probably it.

Later, the servants brought the main dishes: roasted chicken and roast duck.

Formal banquets will have different numbers of "principal dishes", and the rest of the side dishes are just side dishes. The so-called main dishes are according to the rituals passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a large dish for everyone to enjoy. Such dishes are generally large. The state banquets in the Song Dynasty were thirty-six main dishes, and this standard continued to the modern day. Folk banquets are also divided into several different levels according to the administrator's administrative level. The wedding banquets held in time are the treatments that should be enjoyed by the ninth-rank official positions.

Several Indian servants stood by the table, skillfully sliced ​​roast duck and chicken, and carefully used pancakes to dip the crispy squids, rolled the green onions, and placed neatly on the plate. The well-trained Indian servants waved the shiny knife in a dazzling manner, and their movements were like dancing. On the table, Wang, who had just been scolded by Huang's father, was stunned. It was not until the Indian servant signaled that she carefully picked up a piece of the packed burrito and put it into her mouth to taste.

Huang's father was also savoring the food carefully. The Yanei, who was at the same table, never refused to refuse the delicious food, and he couldn't raise his head. On the other end, Shi Can ate the sauce, while Ling Fei ate too fast and choked and gasped. He could only sometimes wear honey-stained fruits, observing the reactions of the guests while meditating.

When Shichan stopped, Shichan put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a hot towel, and pulled Shichan without hesitation, rubbing the sauce in his mouth for the latter. Then he asked: "I suddenly remembered that it seems that spices can also be anti-corrosive. Yanei, have you found the seeds I asked you to help purchase? "

Yanei took the hot towel handed by his servant, wiped his mouth while panting, "Don't ask me about this question, your partner in the garden is not me, you should ask Miss Cui... Ah, I forgot, Miss Cui is now in Li Sanniang's place."

After hearing Yanei's words, Wang's lips curled and a smile flashed in an instant. Huang's father paused for a moment and asked, "Nephew, who is this Miss Cui?"
