229 Meat Processing Factory
With this thought in mind, she said, “Why don’t we open a meat processing factory at that time? It specializes in processing this meat and then sells it elsewhere. This way, it won’t be limited by the distance and time.”
“Meat processing factory?” Even though Ming Zhiyan did not know what a meat processing factory meant, he could understand it based on the context. He asked in puzzlement, “Why do we need to go through all this trouble to process it first?”
Jian Qingqing explained, “I’ve thought about it. According to your method of transporting livestock, the consumption is too high and it’s not healthy for the soldiers to eat it. The pickling or marinating method is crude, and if the method is not correct, it will lead to easy corruption. If we can make a meat processing factory and use a better method to process the meat, the journey will not be a problem, and the soldiers will eat more healthily.”
Ming Zhiyan knew that Jian Qingqing would definitely bring it up, so he said, “Is there anything that needs to be prepared? I’ll do it.”
!!
Jian Qingqing thought for a moment, “There’s no rush to open the factory. I want to raise 200 pigs and 3,000 chickens for the time being. I don’t know where I can buy so many animals. Also, feeding so many pigs and chickens is also a problem. I might have to go back and make some plans before I can proceed.”
Ming Zhiyan said in a deep voice, “Tell me when you’re done. These aren’t problems. Some large families will have many livestock in their farms. When the time comes, you can buy from them. If you feed them, you can also buy food to feed them. Money isn’t a problem.”
Jian Qingqing looked at him and sighed. This was some young master who did not know the suffering of the human world. If he fed the livestock food, he might not be able to make a profit. He could not possibly do business at a loss just for some fertilizer, right?
Ming Zhiyan knew that there was something wrong with her eyes, so he said directly, “Miss Jian, the most important thing now is to grow a good high-yield grain. The rest can be put aside first. This bit of money is nothing compared to a high-yield grain. If Miss Jian is willing, all the expenses can be paid by me.”
Jian Qingqing frowned and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to spend this money, but it’s not worth it. Lord Ming, don’t worry. I’ll find a better method. At the latest, in three days, I’ll give you a plan.”
She planned to go back and prepare her own feed and mix it with other things to ensure nutrition without spending so much money. That would kill two birds with one stone, right?
Seeing that she was really unwilling, Ming Zhiyan acknowledged and did not force her. “Leave it to me when you’re ready. I’ll go do it.”
As he said that, he took out an envelope and handed it to Jian Qingqing.
Jian Qingqing looked at it in surprise. “Who gave this to me?”
This envelope was much better looking than the dark yellow envelope she had seen before. There were exquisite paintings on it, and she could faintly smell a pleasant fragrance. This fragrance was a little familiar.
Ming Zhiyan said in a concise manner, “His Majesty ordered someone to send it over.”
Jian Qingqing almost knelt down. Her mouth was wide open as she asked in shock, “You, you, you, who did you say gave it to me?!”
Ming Zhiyan did not expect her reaction to be so big. He pursed his lips and smiled. He said, “The last time I sent the method to make fine salt, His Majesty was delighted and specially wrote a letter to Miss Jian.”
“Ah?” Jian Qingqing looked at him in a daze. “Didn’t I ask you to say that it was Brother Lin who invented the method? How could it be me?”
Ming Zhiyan looked at her seriously, “Miss Jian, do you know what kind of crime it will be if this matter is exposed? The crime of deceiving the Emperor, not only you, but even I and Young Master Lin, who helped you to hide it, will be exterminated. Reporting this to the Emperor is not something that can be done so simply.”
