Yan Kai's purchase of duck down is beneficial no matter whose position he stands.

The family is willing, the people are willing, and the court is willing.

So even though it's not clear why Yan Kai did what he did, the decree was quickly spread across the country.

Ordinary people will keep eight, nine, or ten of them at home if they can afford it.

And those big aristocratic families have thousands or tens of thousands to support.

Li Shimin also sent people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to various state capitals to explain how to "scientifically raise" animals.

The most important of these is the technology of artificial incubation.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people did not master the method of artificially hatching poultry.

At this time, hatching poultry still relies on the mother bird.

It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that artificial incubation technology developed rapidly.

First there are "hatching by fire", "hatching by rice chaff" and "hatching by horse dung".

Then it further developed into three representative artificial incubation technologies: "kang incubation method", "tank incubation method" and "barrel incubation method".

These people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are responsible for going to various state capitals to spread the knowledge about hatching and breeding.

Only artificial hatching technology can allow the number of ducks in various places to increase explosively.

In just over two months, the number of ducks raised in many state capitals has increased several times.

"How much gold did you dig? Can you eat so much duck down?"

Chu Suiliang went down the mountain again. This fruit called watermelon is so delicious.

Soak it in well water for half a day, cut it in the middle, and eat it with a spoon.

I feel comfortable from head to toe, and I don't make a sound when I eat.

"You care how much gold I dug?" Yan Kai rolled his eyes at him: "Watermelons can't even shut your mouth!"

But he also knew that Chu Suiliang was caring about him.

If word gets out and there is a problem with the duck down purchase, these aristocratic families will not let Yan Kai go.

"As for whether I can eat so much, don't worry, I staggered the time of purchasing in various states."

"Is it useful to stagger the time by a month or two?"

"Of course it's useful!" More than 10,000 new Silla women came to Yan Kai, but many of them entered the weaving workshop.

Outsiders just think it’s because the fabrics from Kujeong County sell well in places like Silla, Baekje and Goryeo.

In fact, they didn't know that Yan Kai was already preparing for the future.

Why do you collect so much duck down?

Of course it is made into down quilts and down jackets!

Compared to leather goods, this down jacket is much lighter.

Duck down comes from ducks.

Wouldn't it be over after purchasing these duck downs, processing them into down jackets yourself, and then selling them to those aristocratic families at a high price?

Chang'an, Luoyang, Shandong, Longyou, there are so many high-ranking families.

When the time comes, find an image spokesperson and give it a good hype, and you will definitely have no worries about selling it.

The purchasing power of the aristocratic family can be seen from Yun Xiangrong in Luoyang, Chang'an.

When the time comes, we will create a "Kuoding County Duck" brand and make money back.

It doesn't matter if the aristocratic family discovers that he makes duck down just for this purpose.

If the aristocratic family wants to learn how to do it, let them learn it.

Anyway, after I make my first wave of money, the rest of the market will be left to those aristocratic families.

That way they would still have a lot of ducks.

When the locust larvae appear, they will drive the ducks to eat the locusts without Yan Kaijiao.

It is a free feed that the Aristocratic Family cannot miss.

In fact, Yan Kai initially thought about whether it would be possible for him to fully occupy the market if he launched a brand.

After thinking about it later, it was impossible in this day and age.

The technical content of down jackets is too low.

In this era, the regional control of aristocratic families was too strong, and there were powerful aristocratic families in almost every state capital.

They also learn that it is very easy to prevent your products from entering.

Unless Yan Kai produces products that others cannot imitate, there is no way to dominate the market.

But it doesn’t matter, the family has down, but they don’t have maritime merchants for the time being.

At that time, he can also sell down jackets to Silla, Baekje, Goryeo and Fusang, and make another round of money.

It’s just that the first batch of duck down purchases still costs a lot of money.

For this reason, he also tried his best, but it was not easy to recruit people in the Tang Dynasty.

The main thing is that transportation is a big problem.

On the other hand, Silla, Baekje and Goryeo on the other side of the sea can be reached in just a few days due to favorable sea transport.

So these three countries have become Yan Kai's cash machines.

The nobles of the Three Kingdoms really liked Yan Kai's selling of things from the past.

It's not like they haven't thought about starting a robbery directly.

But Yankai only trades with them at the dock every time.

The lucky ship, which looked like a porcupine, was parked at the dock. The nobles from various countries weighed it up and realized that the chances of success if they tried to rob it were not that high, and the price would be too high.

Just spend money to buy it honestly.

The things are a bit expensive, such as the agate melons sold recently.

Melon is as its name suggests.

The outside looks like emerald green agate, and when opened, the inside looks like pink agate.

Cut into slices and add salt. It's not too delicious.

After eating the melon pulp, the outer skin can be used for cooking.

Unfortunately, people in Kuoding County say the yield of this melon is too low.

The whole peninsula is hard to find.

The situation on the peninsula is on the verge of breaking out, but it will not affect the enjoyment of the powerful above at all.

On this day, the dignitaries of Silla arrived at the dock at the agreed time, and the lucky ship from Kuoding County also arrived as scheduled.

The dignitaries who came looked at this lucky ship with some envy.

In other words, the locals in Kuoding County only used this lucky ship as a cargo ship.

If it were in their hands, the entire East China Sea coast would be their territory to take whatever they wanted.

Soon, several wooden boats were put down on the Fu boat and rowed to the shore.

"General Cheng, what good things did you bring this time?"

Seeing the familiar general wearing iron armor coming down, I felt envious again.

There is so much iron in Kuoding County that they can actually create such a full-body plate armor.

Cheng Huailiang waved his hand, and several soldiers behind him came up with spears.

These Silla dignitaries were startled, took half a step back, and were about to call someone.

Only then did they realize that the soldiers just threw the bloody spears in front of them.

"This... General Cheng, what does this mean?"

"Huh! I sold it to you!" Cheng Huailiang snorted coldly.

The soldiers behind him brought an iron chair and placed it on the dock. He sat on it, making a sound of gold and iron.

I specifically asked that the armor on the buttocks be thickened.

Although sitting like this is a bit painful, I feel much more at ease.

"These? Sell them to us?" The Silla people were unsure.

"Nonsense, Korea has blocked your door! Do you plan to use the money in your hands to buy things from me, or will it be robbed by the Koreans in the future?"

Cheng Huailiang held out five fingers: "We can provide you with five thousand spears like this! And five thousand Mingdi! You can make a price yourself!"

The so-called Ming Dy is actually the bows and arrows they captured from the Turks.

It's just that the iron arrowheads of the Turks are mostly triangular and triangular.

The arrowhead leaves are perforated, and a drilled bone ball is attached to the bottom of the arrowhead. When it is shot out, it makes a sound in the wind, which is called "Ming Dy".
