After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

ha? !

Gu Nanxi widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.

Pig farming cooperative, is this a word that can appear in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Aunt Geng nudged Old Lady Wang with her elbow.

Only then did Old Lady Wang react. She suppressed her inner excitement and repeated her idea in a trembling voice.

Gu Nanxi looked at Old Lady Wang in a mysterious way: "How did you come up with this idea?"

Old Lady Wang looked at Nan Xi with admiration: "It was the general who taught us this! I heard that the county government cooperated with farmers to grow corn, and then I thought that raising pigs could be done in the same way!"

"It's just that we don't have the financial resources and courage like you, General, so we thought that the whole neighborhood could just invest together!"

"As for raising pigs, the county government provides technical support and veterinarians, and we don't have to worry about the pigs getting sick. We only need to buy the pigs, find a place to live, and find people to take care of them, which reduces a lot of worries. We don't even have to worry about the sales of the pigs after they are raised!"

"General, you could have shared the profits with the common people just like you did with corn planting! But you didn't do that. It's because you didn't want to compete with the common people for profits. You wanted us to make more money!"

Old Lady Wang was wiping away tears as she spoke. God must have mercy on me by letting such a good man be born in Yunzhou!

After hearing what Old Lady Wang said, Gu Nanxi felt a little guilty. The reason she didn't do that was simply because she had no money.

The money earned from the fruit wine factory has to be reserved for the construction of other projects in Yunzhou, especially military production. It is so damn expensive, like a money-eating beast!

"That's great, just go for it! I'm very optimistic about you!"

With Gu Nanxi's permission, Aunt Geng and Old Lady Wang went to work with all their might!

The next day, Old Lady Wang went to Wangbatun Village to discuss the land leasing issue with the village chief.

The fields in Wangbatun Village are all low-quality fields. When the farmers were counting the farmland in Yunzhou, they came here to take a look.

According to those farmers, the land is not worth transforming.

Even if we spend a lot of money to build irrigation systems and install water-powered trucks, there is no way to improve these inferior fields to medium-quality fields.

Because their fields had a lot of fine sand and small stones, the soil was not fertile enough and the output was not enough.

After knowing this, the villagers of Wangbatun Village were naturally very disappointed, but fortunately, they were not far from Fuming Town, and going to the town to work was also a way to make a living.

Those who could not leave their homes would rent a tricycle from the county government and transport lard, fruit wine, canned food, etc. back and forth. The money they earned as porters was enough to support their families.

After hearing what Old Lady Wang had come for, the head of Wangbatun Village agreed immediately.

One reason is that Mrs. Wang’s in-laws’ family had donated a lot of food to the village during the disaster years, and Muramasa himself was a beneficiary.

Secondly, because the population of the village is small, there is still a large piece of vacant land that has not been allocated and is just left there. Rather than wasting it, it is better to cooperate with Mrs. Wang, at least it can benefit the villagers!

While Mrs. Wang and Muramasa were discussing the matter of renting a venue, Aunt Geng set up a table at the entrance of the alley and found a scholar from Baichuan Academy to take notes.

By the time the table was set up, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the alley, all of them were neighbors.

"Wang Xiaoer's family, five taels of silver. Let me verify your identity and the amount of money. If there is no problem, please sign and seal here."

"Widow Chen's family, three taels of silver!"

"Butcher Li's family, fifteen taels of silver."

Wow!

Hearing the amount of money, the crowd exclaimed.

Although everyone knows that being a butcher can make money, I didn’t expect it to be so profitable!

Being stared at by so many envious eyes, Butcher Li's eyes sparkled, and he touched his head embarrassedly: "Thanks to the adults, I have been too busy with business recently, so I made a little money."

Everyone thought to themselves, they heard that almost all the pigs in Yunzhou were being killed, so the money earned by Butcher Li must be quite a lot!

The market price of an adult pig is three taels of silver.

Piglets are cheaper, usually around seven or eight hundred coins, but because there are too many people raising pigs recently, the price of piglets has risen to one or two taels of silver.

Butcher Li took out fifteen taels in one go. Isn’t that equivalent to fifteen piglets?

"Oh my god, he must have earned thirty taels this year?!" Someone counted on his fingers and suddenly widened his eyes.

Someone nearby corrected him, "I heard that if you follow the method taught by the county government, pigs will grow meatier after being fanned! And if you cook them some pig food, they will grow meatier even more!"

The foreign merchants who were watching the fun around the table covered their mouths and laughed, "Do you have to light a fire to cook to feed the pigs?!"

Widow Chen glared at him and said, "You know to eat hot pork, so why can't you eat hot food?"

"you!"

"Don't point your finger at me! I'll chop you off! We should just do what the general tells us to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The merchant wanted to say something, but was pulled away by his companion: "Tell me, you! This is your first time in Yunzhou, why are you so outspoken?"

"Can you blame me for this? It was clearly Yunzhou's doing. It's outrageous!"

"It's not too outrageous. As far as I know, for those who bought piglets before the New Year, the original three-pound piglets grew to more than 40 pounds in two months! I heard from the technical staff of the county government that by the third month, they can grow an average of one and a half pounds a day."

Hiss!

The merchant gasped: "At this rate, a pig will grow to 200 to 300 kilograms!

Nowadays, a pig on the market that weighs 200 kilograms is considered a fat pig.

"Yes! The technicians said that they can be slaughtered after eight months. They will basically weigh 300 kilograms and have more than one and a half fingers of fat!"

The merchant swallowed his saliva and said, "Pork costs thirty-five coins per catty. A pig weighs three hundred catties. Even if you take away the pig's head and trotters, the meat alone can weigh two hundred catties, and there's still so much fat! If you sell it cheaper, say thirty coins per catty, a pig can be sold for six taels of silver!"

Widow Li paused on her way home and started to make plans.

From what Mrs. Wang said, this is going to directly compete with the breweries and canneries. The price will definitely not reach the market price, but even if it is twenty cents per pound, that is still four taels of silver!

Widow Li hurried home, took out a purse, and ran to Aunt Geng again: "I want more money! Three more taels!"

Other neighbors who heard the conversation between the merchants also expressed their willingness to make additional investments!

For a moment, Aunt Geng was in a panic and could only ask the neighbors to continue to line up, come one by one, and not to be in a hurry.

This lively scene naturally attracted Wen Yu's attention. After an exclusive interview with Aunt Geng and Old Lady Wang, the latest issue of "Yunzhou Weekly" was published!

The front page was "Keeping up with the times, Fuming Town established the first pig farming cooperative!"
