ha? !
Gu Nanxi’s eyes widened and she couldn’t believe what she heard.
Pig-raising cooperative, is this a word that can appear in Dazhou?
Aunt Geng elbowed Mrs. Wang.
Lady Wang finally came to her senses, endured the excitement in her heart, and stated her idea again with a trembling voice.
Gu Nanxi looked at Mrs. Wang with a dark expression and said inexplicably: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Old Mrs. Wang looked at Gu Nanxi with admiration: "The general taught us this! I just listened to it. He said that the county government and farmers cooperated in planting Planting corn, then I thought that raising pigs can be done the same way!”
“It’s just that we don’t have the financial resources and courage like you, the general, so we just thought that the whole neighborhood would join in!”
< br>"raise As for the pigs, the county government provides technical support and veterinarians, and we are not afraid of the pigs getting sick. We only need to buy the pigs, find a site, and find people to take care of them. We don’t have to worry about the market after the pigs are raised. ! ”
"Originally, General, you can share this matter with the common people just like corn cultivation! But the General did not do this. This is precisely because you do not want to compete with the people for profit, and you want us common people to earn more money!"
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears as she spoke. God opened his eyes to allow such a good person to live in Yunzhou!
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Gu Nanxi felt a little guilty. The reason why she didn't do this was purely because she had no money.
The money earned by the fruit winery will be reserved for the construction of other projects in Yunzhou, especially military production. It is so expensive that it is comparable to a gold-swallowing beast!
"Very good, go ahead and do it! I'm very optimistic about you!"
With Gu Nanxi's permission, Aunt Geng and Mrs. Wang completely let go!
The next day, Mrs. Wang ran to Wangbatun Village to discuss renting the land with the village leader.
The fields in Wangbatun Village are all low-grade fields. The farmers came here to see them when they were counting farmland in Yunzhou.
According to those farmers, this land has no transformation value.
Even if we spend a lot of money to repair their irrigation systems and install hydraulic vehicles, there is no way to improve these low-grade fields to medium-sized fields.
Because there is a lot of fine sand and small stones in their fields, the soil is not fertile enough, and the output is not enough.
After knowing this, the villagers of Wangbatun Village were naturally disappointed, but fortunately, they were not far from Fuming Town, and working in the town was also a way to survive.
Those who couldn't leave home rented a tricycle from the county government to transport lard, fruit wine, cans, etc. back and forth. The money they earned as a porter was enough to support their family.
After hearing Mrs. Wang’s intention, the village chief of Wangbatun Village immediately agreed.
First, Mrs. Wang’s husband’s family donated a lot of food to the village during the disaster years, and Muramasa himself was the beneficiary.
The second reason is that because the village has a small population, there is still a large open space that has not been set aside, so it is just left there. Instead of wasting it in vain, it is better to cooperate with Mrs. Wang and let the people in the village benefit from it!
While Mrs. Wang was discussing the rental of the venue with Muramasa, Aunt Geng set up a table at the entrance of the alley and hired a scholar from Baichuan Academy to take notes.
After the tables were set up, a long line of people lined up at the entrance of the alley, all of whom were neighbors.
"Wang Xiaoer's family, five taels of silver. Verify the identity information and the amount of money. If there is no problem, just sign and pledge here."
"Widow Chen's family, three taels of silver. !”
“Butcher Li’s family, fifteen taels of silver”
Wow!
Hearing this amount of money, the crowd exclaimed. Although everyone knew that being a butcher could make money, they never expected to make so much money!
Being stared at by so many envious eyes, Butcher Li’s eyes were bright and he rubbed his head in embarrassment: “Thanks to you, my business has been very busy these days, so I made a little money.”
But everyone secretly thought that they heard that all the pigs in Yunzhou were about to be killed. I’m afraid Butcher Li’s profit was not a small amount of money!
An adult pig sells for thirty taels of silver on the market.
Piglets are cheaper, usually around 700 to 800 taels of silver. However, because there are too many people raising pigs recently, the price of piglets has also risen to one or two taels of silver.
Butcher Li took out fifteen taels in one go. Isn’t that equivalent to fifteen piglets?
“Dear me, he can’t earn thirty taels this year?!” Someone counted on his fingers and his eyes widened suddenly.
Someone next to me corrected me: "I heard that according to the method taught by the county government, after the pigs are stirred, the pigs will grow longer! If you cook pig food for them, they will grow longer!"
The foreign merchants who were watching the excitement around the table covered their mouths and laughed: "Do you still have to make a fire to feed the pigs?!"
Widow Chen gave him a look: "You know how to eat hot pigs, why can't you eat hot ones?"
"You!"
"Stop pointing your fingers at me! Be careful what I do. You chop it up! We just do what the general tells us to do. Why is there so much nonsense? ? "
Xing Shang wanted to say something, but was pulled away by his companion: "Tell me! It's your first time in Yunzhou, why are you so open-minded?"
< br>“Can you blame me for this? It was clearly done by them in Yunzhou, it’s too outrageous!”
"It's not outrageous. As far as I know, for people who bought piglets a year ago, the piglets that originally weighed three kilograms grew to more than forty kilograms in two months! I heard the technical staff of the county government say, By the third month, I will gain an average of one and a half pounds per day.”
Hiss!
Hong Shang gasped in air-conditioning: "If this continues, a pig will not grow to two to three hundred kilograms?!"
If a pig on the market can weigh two hundred kilograms, it is already considered a pig. Fat pig.
“Yes! The technician said that after eight months of cultivation, it will be ready for the market. Basically, it can reach 300 kilograms, and there will be more than one and a half fingers of fat!”
The trader swallowed his saliva: "One catty of pork is thirty-five cents, and one pig is three hundred catties. Even if the pig's head and trotters are removed, the meat alone is still two hundred catties, and there is still so much fat! Sell it cheaper, and it's thirty For a pound of paper, a pig can be sold for six taels of silver!”
Widow Li paused as she came home, making some calculations in her mind.
According to Mrs. Wang, this is to directly compete with breweries and canneries. The price will definitely not reach the market price, but even if it is twenty cents per catty, it is still four taels of silver!
Widow Li hurried home, took a money bag, and ran to Aunt Geng: "I want more money! Add three taels more!"
Other neighbors who heard the conversation between the merchants , also expressed their intention to invest more!
For a moment, Aunt Geng was in a hurry and could only ask the neighbors to continue lining up and come one by one, don't be anxious.
This lively scene naturally attracted Wen Yu's attention. After an exclusive interview with Aunt Geng and Mrs. Wang, the latest issue of "Yunzhou Weekly" was released!
The front page is "Following the pace of the times, the first pig-raising cooperative was established in Fuming Town!" 》(End of this chapter)
