"What 5,000 carcasses?" Li Longji suddenly popped his head out of the door and asked.
"5,000 carcasses for 10,000 pig legs." Princess Yongmu gestured one and then five.
"How much does a pig cost?" Li Longji stood at the door and recalled.
"It depends on the weight and the amount of meat. The price of pork fluctuates and will be higher in a few days. Currently, the average price is 1,200 RMB per pig."
Li Yi knew the price of pigs. Due to the long growth cycle, pigs couldn't always eat pigweed and the number of locusts was limited.
Feed them wheat bran, rice bran, rice bran, bean cake, gourd pulp, grass, silage, bone powder, salt, and furnace ash.
Sorghum rice, millet, wheat, and rice couldn't be fed.
No potatoes, no corn, and no sweet potato seedlings.
As for feeding pigs with feces, how much would it take? Raise them for three years? Feed them slowly?
According to the calculation of the feed, the cost of raising a big fat pig was 800 to 900 RMB per pig, including artificial labor and the loss of pigs during the growth process.
The advantage was that pigs could be killed within a year. They grew quickly and could be fed scientifically.
The profit earned by saving costs and feeding them slowly couldn't be compared with the money earned by increasing the cost by one column per year.
If the capital was recovered and invested to expand the production, the profit by one column per year would be even higher.
With scientific feeding, the pork was cleaner and the probability of getting sick was lower.
In addition, the pigsty was cleaned every day. Although it was tiring, the benefits were obvious.
"How much will the price rise during the Spring Festival?" Li Longji was worried that the people wouldn't be able to eat meat.
"1,500 RMB. It will rise soon. In the twelfth lunar month, we can start to make cured meat in large quantities. It won't spoil easily and the weather is cold. "Li Yi wasn't worried about this.
As long as there wasn't anyone hoarding and profiting, it was a normal market fluctuation.
He couldn't use economic means to calm down the prices now, so he could only raise the selling price.
If there were too many things and the price was too low, he could buy them with money.
For example, the people sold the bean worms to the restaurants. The price was always higher than the Li Family Zhuangzi's purchase price.
After an hour, the team and the people started to eat.
They ate outside without tents and didn't have enough time to light so many stoves. It was cold.
Therefore, they ate the rolls, drank the soup, and put the shrimp oil side dishes they brought along with the rolls.
He took out a piece of paper and wrapped it in his hand.
"What tools do I need to prepare?" Li Yi was also eating outside. He felt uncomfortable and his nose was cold.
"Silk." Princess Yongmu understood Li Yi's meaning and gave him an idea.
"Good idea. Quick, find some silk and open it up to use as an enclosure." Li Yi arranged for someone to get the silk.
In the past, silk was money. Now, it was also money. It was allowed to circulate like copper coins.
However, very few people used it in the capital and the nearby prefectures.
The price of silk was falling. Commoners who were not from the capital government took silk and handed it over to the government.
During the transaction, the buyer was not willing to accept the greenhouse, so the cost of making the greenhouse would be lower.
In addition, he bought them to make clothes. He could afford to wear clothes that he couldn't bear to wear in the past.
The enclosure was quickly set up, and the temperature in the area rose. The children ran around from enclosure to enclosure.
To the children, the enclosure was like a maze. The most interesting thing about it was that there was a sense of security with so many people around.
Li Yi and the others were in a better mood. The commoners who came over were all well-dressed. They wore leather boots on their feet.
There was more pig skin. Pigs that had been raised for more than two to three years had thick skin. When the pigs were killed, the skin was peeled off.
In the past, they would make leather armor or military drums. Now, they were making shoes.
The skin of pigs that had been raised for a year was better used to make the lining of shoes.
At the same time, it was used to make medicine. The Li Family Zhuangzi didn't skin the pigs and ate them all.
Being able to wear shoes made of pig skin was also considered a family with good economic conditions.
Li Dan didn't continue to lament about how only the commoners in the capital government and the surrounding areas had a good life. Other places were poor.
He had thought it through. The commoners in the capital government and the surrounding areas had a better life than before. Gradually, the commoners in the areas near the capital government would also gradually become richer.
"Xiao Yi, how much money do you think the commoners in the surrounding areas have?" Li Yi suddenly asked Li Dan.
Li Yi: "… …"
He thought that the old man was dissatisfied with him in some way and had malicious intentions.
You're asking me this question. How do I know the answer? Am I supposed to ask the commoners about their money? There are other people around. Wouldn't it be troublesome to reveal their wealth?
"They can fill their stomachs." Li Yi pondered for a moment before giving an answer.
Eating chaff could fill one's stomachs and meat could fill one's stomachs. There was nothing wrong with that.
Princess Yongmu mischievously said from the side, "They can wear clothes."
She quickly lowered her head. In the past, she wouldn't have dared to joke with her elders like this.
Li Dan was stunned for a moment before revealing a smile. "Good, there's food to eat and clothes to wear. Not bad."
He realized that his granddaughter had changed. In the beginning, she was timid. Later, she wasn't naughty. She gave people the impression that she was dignified.
Now, it seemed that his granddaughter was the one who was truly happy.
Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content. In Zheng County's yamen, Zheng Yiqin was like an ant on a hot pan as he paced around the room.
"Twenty li. Will he eat at a place twenty li away? Will he come over at night or will he arrive soon after dinner? He'll arrive soon after dinner. Will he stay overnight in the county? Li Yi … … "
Zheng Yiqin mumbled as he dragged Zheng Yiqin along. He felt that the waiting process was torture.
When others ate, he said that he would go to the cafeteria later. Then, he lost his appetite.
"Ming Residence, let's eat!" Zheng Yiqin's secretary, who was also a page boy, stood by the side. He was hungry.
In the past, the yamen ate separately. Some yamen runners even had to bring their own food from home.
In winter, they usually ate outside in small restaurants. They couldn't eat the things in Li Yi's TV series. They drank big bowls of wine and ate big mouthfuls of meat.
They ate whatever was cheap and saved money to live.
At present, Huazhou's government was doing well. Just like the capital's county school, there was a cafeteria. Everyone ate in the cafeteria.
The advantage of eating in the cafeteria wasn't that the cost of centralized purchasing and production was low. For the yamen runners, the cost of one coin was also high.
The yamen runners didn't have to spend money to eat in the cafeteria.
They didn't eat when they left home in the morning to save food for one person.
They ate breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria for those on night duty. They left late at night and went home after dinner to see if there was any leftover food in the cafeteria. If there was, they took some.
Those on night duty also took food when they went home in the morning. There were also people who cooked in the cafeteria.
In such a situation, not to mention Zheng County, Chang 'an and Wannian Counties in the capital's government, it was inevitable.
Li Yi knew that if he didn't care, he would pretend that he didn't see it. Eating and taking food home showed that he loved his family. How could a person who didn't love his family love his country?
The key was that he couldn't eat much. Was twice the food expenses enough?
After eating and taking the food, he finished the work in his hands neatly.
"Old Zheng, let's eat." The county deputy came over and took Zheng Yiqin to the cafeteria.
He winked at Zheng Yiqin's page boy. The page boy happily took the things and followed behind.
"Are the people ready?" Zheng Yiqin was pulled away and her eyes were dull.
"Old Zheng, we didn't do anything wrong. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." The county deputy sighed and shook his head.
"I'm not afraid of ghosts. I'm afraid of Li Yi. I heard that Li Yi even dared to beat the judge. Oh, and the King of Hell."
Zheng Yiqin believed in the folklore.
