Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pearl Farming
This year's autumn harvest farmers have predicted that the output can increase by 20%, so a large number of wooden threshers and board trucks have been prepared in advance.
Taking the manor as a unit, there are a large number of large carts and wheelbarrows parked on the main road, and the grain ships along the Hanshui River are also endless, more than 3,000.
In addition to coping with the autumn harvest, the last batch of "crayfish" of this year, which is bred from Northeast crayfish and North Korean crayfish, is sold to the outside world. Unlike the crayfish that were sold more than 1,000 years later, their pair of large pincers are not large, but they have a fat tail and sweet meat, which is very popular with southerners.
And because Yangzhou Runzhou gathers a large number of business travelers, officials, workers and farmers from the north and south, this kind of aquatic product processing is quite convenient and very popular.
It's just that the yield of "crayfish in Chuzhou" is not high, and Jia's is almost cultivated, but in the end there is no experience in this kind of aquaculture, and in terms of cost, it has been losing money. It's all about pearl farming to settle the accounts, and it can still persevere.
At present, the only aquatic products that can be regarded as industrial are eels, soft-shelled turtles, frogs, and pearls.
The breeding method of eels has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and even after a thousand years, the seedlings are still harvested by hand in the wild by the rivers and seas. However, the eel meat is delicate, the taste is soft, the soup is delicious, the roast is sweet, and it is quite exquisite and high-grade ingredients for the residents of large and medium-sized cities in Zhenguan for ten years.
The most important point is that eels, soft-shelled turtles, and frogs are quite resistant to insect diseases, and the feeding is mainly based on earthworms, river shrimp, snails, and trash fish combined with plant feed. Based on the yield of 500 catties per mu, the gross profit of the existing 1,000 mu of eel water surface in Chuzhou can exceed 20,000 yuan.
And because the roasted dried eel is salty and fragrant, Chi Gong, the captain of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, likes it very much, and at present, the Anbei Army has been on the imperial court, and the military department has purchased Zhenguan for 14 years of military supplies, and there is a dried eel from Hanyang.
"How is Zhiniang sweating profusely."
Zhang De issued a batch of official documents and went out, went back to the backyard, and saw Li Zhier sweating profusely and fanning the wind with a fan.
"The newly made wolf eyebrows are a little soft, and the eyebrows are not very neat. These are all goods that the east of Chang'an City wants, how can they spoil such things. ”
The Amway has become the money bag of the eldest grandson, and Li Zhier has started the stove again, and she can't get perfume or anything like that. Because the pearl cultivation in Chuzhou is very successful, and Zhang De also cultivates it in Taihu Lake, there are actually a large number of pearls on the market that are cultured goods, but the people in Beijing don't know it.
The capital of Li Zhier's resurgence is these pearls.
The ground pearl powder is quite fine, not only the ladies of Chang'an love, but also those painters and people who often run at both ends of Pingkangfang and the ladies of the court.
At present, the atmosphere is becoming more and more extravagant and exaggerated, and those who have some heels can not be left behind, Li Zhier is not bad with her old connections.
"Didn't you hear that in Luoyang, Li Jia and Li Yue are also in charge? Why do you still have to be busy? ”
"Phew! Those two little sluts still want to come to Jingxiang, when I don't know what they think? Old...... Concubines have their own measure. ”
“……”
Lao Zhang walked out without saying a word with a black face. Li Zhi'er didn't stop him, but just glanced at him disdainfully.
If you want to say that she is arrogant, Li Zhier's is indeed extraordinary. At present, pearl farming, stopping pearl opening and pearl planting female workers, she has 15,000 moves at hand. Although more than 12,000 of them are short-term and temporary workers, it also shows their ability. There are few women in Beijing who can manage the housekeeping of a large family, and they are often chickens and dogs jumping in the house.
The prosperity of the capital far exceeds that of previous generations, and the people's feelings and minds are no longer enough to cope with the previous experience. In the past, there were some decent people, and the housewife was often not seen in front of people, but now they are decent, even if it is the Yang family, the Wen family and the like, they often walk around in front of people.
The exchange of polite gifts is no lighter than that of a husband who is socializing outside. The change of the gift box in the capital is also a witness. From the earlier ordinary plain wooden box, to the later lacquerware, porcelain, gilding, bronzing, and then to the later cloisonné gold thread as the edge, blown glass as the flower, almost skilled craftsmen, non-ingenuity is not enough for the beauty, the wind of luxury comparison, the king of heaven Lao Tzu is coming, but it is also unable to suppress.
And because the rich and noble families are getting bigger and bigger, the earlier Kaiyuan Tongbao has long been unable to meet the daily purchase. The China Resources Flying Ticket in the west of the city has become the main daily force of the people in the east of the city. This is in stark contrast to the rest of Datang.
For example, in the Western Regions of Bashu, Kaiyuan Tongbao and silk cloth are still the main physical currencies for payment; Denglai, Runyang, Suzhou-Hangzhou, China Resources silver dollars and gold coins have become the main circulating equivalents in the market; Chang'an and Luoyang use China Resources Flying Ticket as the main means of payment; The traditional way of bartering is maintained......
Throughout the Tang Dynasty in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, there was a situation where different payment methods coexisted in different regions. Even in some core developed regions, because of convenience, there is a phenomenon of local credit currency replacing physical currency.
As a special existence that cannot be bypassed, in the Chuzhou area, although many helpers are paid on a daily basis, as long as they are long-term workers, they often keep their wages as a whole. Replacing it with a China Resources Flying Ticket is not only safe, but also convenient.
After years of running-in, even Fangzhai has now recognized the existence of China Resources Flying Ticket, which has also enabled Canzhou to accumulate more copper ingots for the preparation of bronze artifacts or accessories.
Because of the close ties in economic life, the fangs are more and more willing to go down the mountain. Although most of the fangs still stubbornly retain the phenomenon of personal dependence, and even some fangs, the life and death of slaves is still decided by the leader of the fangs. However, because individual fangzhai took the lead in exporting labor, life has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year, and the contrast between fangzhai and the change in people's hearts have been another unexpected result.
Li Zhier started to grind pearl powder, and one-third of the packaging women were Fangzhai women. There are more than 1,000 in number, and the average daily salary of each Fangzhai woman is 10 wen, including lunch, sleeping in a chase shop, and there can be a balance of more than 250 wen a month.
At the end of the year, the head and husband of Fangzhai will come to take them home, and the New Year's goods they buy can make the whole Fangzhai eat for a year.
When I came to Zhang De's Fangzhai, I could have a balance of 1,800 yuan just for the women of Fangzhai to work in a year. If these women stay in Fangzhai, there is basically not much output, and for the head of Fangzhai, in addition to being a fertility tool, it is still a loss of money.
The changes of the Fang people are still like this, not to mention the ordinary Han families, and even the new and old magnates in Luoyang.
When Li Zhier's latest batch of autumn pearl powder was shipped to Luoyang, the Luoyang Women's Club poured the purchased pearl powder into Luoshui on the Luoshui Bridge, and tied her hair and wore a crown, proclaiming loudly: "I have never heard of the good of women, but only those who rely on fat powder; The women of the ancients are good, and the Langya of today are all female heroes for a while, and this is a female master! ”
