Now the main export product of the farm to Ursas is this kind of heavy-duty draft horse with a gentle personality. Not only did the empire officially order a large number of them to supplement the logistics department, but the city-states in the south also had orders one after another. Interestingly, the northwestern Ursas The Sami Principality is the largest buyer of farm horses and beef cattle.
Unfortunately, the scale of the pastoral area of the farm is limited, and the output cannot be supplied, and the orders are likely to be queued for a few years. If Kazdale's agricultural base and pasture are put into operation, this phenomenon should improve, but it may also worsen.
Because for the Sargon and Kazdel people, Lao Xia probably will soon have to find a way to breed long-legged things for them to use as war horses. In other words, people who can think of people riding on horses to fight That guy must be a top talent.
"Boom!" The land ship slowly docked with the old city wharf. Under the operation of the warlock, the crane transferred the containers one by one to the wharf stack area. The warehouse area was quickly filled with red containers with the wheat seedling logo of "Xia's Agricultural Products".
"Soybean protein, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a huge amount of sugar and blood bags..." The dock manager looked at the list with a confused face. These are some strange things, which can be understood before. What does the blood bag in the back mean.
In addition to blood bags, there are also medical products such as antibiotic powder in barrels, anti-burn gel, ointment for skin diseases, etc. Now, the sales points of Sanlian Pharmaceutical will not be all other people's medicines, but only one source of antibiotics The stone coagulation oral agent is its own.
Among all the goods, the strangest thing is a large box of chirping chickens, which Lao Xia transported here to start the Longmen Chicken Farm. Chickens are basically not picky about the breeding environment, let alone Lao Xia. Prepare to raise maggots on the lower deck as feed.
Breeding and selling nearby can speed up the speed of repayment and profit replenishment. After all, although Lao Xia does not need profits very much personally, he needs to invest a lot of money in the next round of development. There is still a big gap in funding.
The development of Kazdale includes three steps. The first step is to buy nobles, obtain land management rights, and enter Kazdale smoothly. To obtain enough land for Laoxia’s farm to fully develop, he needs to buy a large amount of Kazdale’s land. Greedy nobles and enough Sarkaz mercenaries.
The second step is to operate normally. However, it is absolutely impossible for Kazdale's traditional farming and animal husbandry to fight against Lao Xia, and then the price avalanche of Kazdale's agricultural and animal husbandry products will follow.
For a city-state like Longmen, which is dominated by industry and commerce, it is simply good news. I am afraid that Lao Xia will have to become a living saint, even for Ursas, because no one with a brain in Ursas would want to rely on agriculture. Food is mainly based on military industry and mining, and the decline of agricultural products means that the living conditions of ordinary people will improve instead.
But Kazdale is different. It lacks sufficient industry and mining. Except for the mercenary business, the main income of the local nobles comes from land rent, and most of the local ordinary people rely on agriculture for their production activities.
This means that the market price of Kazdel’s agricultural products may be so low that people can’t imagine why some people can’t afford to eat, but in fact it will cause farmers to go bankrupt, because most of their fertilizers and seeds are borrowed from nobles. here.
Especially self-cultivated farmers, they need to pay for taxes, seeds, farm tools, and fertilizers, and their production scale effect cannot compete with Lao Xia, so in the avalanche of food prices, what ushers in is that their crops can be sold for less money .
If it is a normal modern country, or China, it only needs to reduce or exempt the agricultural tax, and the state purchases grain to keep the reserve price, and this crisis will turn into a great good thing, because the grain reserves have increased.
As for Kazdel, who is still in the civil war, they don't have the ability to execute it, and even if they do, they won't execute it, because the logic of nobles is different.
They are fighting and need food support, and now that Lao Xia's food is so cheap that they cannot expropriate or rob, they must buy a lot of reserves, and to buy a lot of reserves, they need real money.
The main income of Kazdel’s nobles is land rent. The only way for them to obtain this fund is to scrape from the heads of owner farmers and tenant farmers. There are nothing more than two kinds, one kind of tax in kind. Only with a higher tax ratio can you sell enough money to pay your subordinates' wages and maintain your own luxurious life.
The second method, collecting money directly, has the same effect. Farmers have to sell crops at a low price to pay debts and pay taxes. Now, the price of crops is no longer sold at a low price, but at a time when they lose as much as they sell—that is. It will bring about super-large-scale bankruptcy and loss of land for farmers.
Compared with individual tenants, Lao Xia has a large scale of production and abundant funds. Naturally, nobles are willing to entrust him with the right to use the land. After all, the rent collection seems stable, but it actually requires costs. The cost of rent collection is too high, and it is not uncommon for them not to collect rent at all.
Not to mention, if Lao Xia is short of money to do other big projects, he may use food as leverage and money as a weapon to completely turn Kazdel's economy and market into ruins.
At this time, the owner farmers and tenant farmers may not be the only ones who will die - the feudal nobles will die more thoroughly - after all, these bankrupt farmers can still go to Lao Xia's farm to work, but these nobles really can only hang themselves.
And this lever is the easiest lever to operate in history, and it has been widely used since the beginning of business. That is, when you farm, you want to buy grain and raise the price of grain, and then borrow money and goods for you to do it. Production, and when you plant it, start dumping it into the market, and the price of food will be the bottom in an instant.
Then you can’t exchange money, you can only use the land to pay off the debt, and then continue to repeat the above cycle, and soon all your property, savings, and land will be squeezed out. There are two ways to solve this profiteering behavior.
Method [-], you have a grain storage in China, if you charge a high price, I will release it until you spit it out, and if you sell it, I will accept it. It depends on how many you have in the warehouse. However, obviously, not to mention Kazdel, there is no such thing as Dayan. grain reserves.
Method [-], the method that feudal society likes to use from the beginning, is it hoarding?They will be slaughtered for you directly, and the house will be stolen, and they will be raised as fat pigs——but, Lao Xia may be at the level of a big wild boar king, and this method has almost no success rate, and the outcome of the fight is unpredictable.
Even if you don’t use this leverage attack, simply normal farming and management, and then sell it at a meager profit, and all the money you get in exchange is a pure act of expanding production. This kind of normal behavior that no one can blame is even in line with social progress. The basic cycle of development and productivity will also cause a devastating blow to the feudal small peasant economy.
Grain prices continued to drop, a large number of farmers went bankrupt, and those with richer families quickly realized that farming was better than doing other things, and voluntarily gave up their land and fled, bringing in a large number of migrant workers and refugees.
However, the exorbitant taxes imposed by the feudal nobles, the demands of bureaucrats at all levels, and the opportunities of other profiteers to raise prices and suppress pledge prices, increase lending interest rates, etc., will drive them to a dead end.
And counting on these aristocratic bureaucrats and profiteers not to do this...then it is better to count on a hunk from the sky, and there may be some hope.
Either do not develop productivity and maintain traditional agricultural production, or let the aristocratic government system and production relations enter a new era that can adapt to this output.
Otherwise, even if it is a normal production behavior, even if Lao Xia does not seek a dime of profit and invests all his money in reproduction expansion and welfare, the farmers will be forced to go bankrupt unless he replaces Kazdel's nobles to perform government functions , using part of the funds used to expand production for pure relief and protective subsidies.
But why would he do it?What he wants is to squeeze out a lot of manpower living on one-third of an acre of land, what he wants is to let the nobles, landlords and tenant farmers go bankrupt together, and merge their land. The same means of production can at least be used in his hands. Feed ten times more people.
As for all the evil deeds, there is no need for him to personally lead people to burn farmers' fields, and use usury and various profiteering activities to squeeze their wealth, because these nobles will complete this work perfectly or even exceed the standard.
He just didn't do anything, just farmed the land diligently and honestly, and then sold the grown food on the spot. Even the upcoming large-scale uprising and chaos in Kazdel would not affect his farm. There is a dime relationship.
After all, he does not deduct the wages and income of employees, nor squeezes their surplus value. After deducting his own necessary costs and the capital needs of the next stage, the rest can be paid as wages.
In the end, a situation similar to arson will be formed in Kazdel. The riots formed by the refugees will burn down the castles and manors of the nobles like a tide. On the ruins, Lao Xia's farm will gradually spread over, and the land and The rest gathered up.
Of course, it is impossible for refugees who are accustomed to burning, killing, and looting to absorb all of them. This process will also be accompanied by a large number of military operations, trials and punishments, and then they will build their farms and processing factories after they are collected. They will change from refugees and landless farmers to agricultural employees or production workers.
Rather than shoveling thorns with a shovel, it is better to set a wildfire and use the flames to burn all the weeds, thorns, bushes and poisonous weeds to ashes, and then it is easier to build on a piece of white ground.
In this wildfire, Kazdel's traditional production relationship and superior-subordinate relationship will completely collapse, and people will find that the so-called noble blood is no better than ordinary people. Of course, there are some "benevolent nobles" or " Kind Miss" was brutally treated.
[The threshold of kindness is very low, please don’t think it’s a Japanese fantasy, the real so-called benevolent lady, please read the memoirs written by the descendants of the nobles in the Tibetan area, and give the leftovers to the slaves instead of Giving it to dogs is a great kindness, but the slave who ate her family's leftovers even led a team to TG to destroy her family, it is simply ungrateful, not as good as pigs and dogs. 】
If W is just breaking ground for Tracys, Lao Xia is shoveling his roots, more precisely, the roots of the entire Demon King's court, not to mention that Amiya inherited the ability of the Demon King, even if she No, as long as you can demonstrate sufficient leadership skills, you can ascend to the throne of ruler in this new Kazdel.
Because all the means of production based on the original land, all the traditional production relations and order of dignity will be burned in the wildfire, when the so-called nobleman is dragged out of the castle by angry farmers like a dog, and hangs On the guillotine, everyone will realize that the so-called noble blood is useless.
On the contrary, whoever has enough food and production capacity to feed the rest of Kazdel, he is the devil king of Sarkaz, and he may even be more terrifying than any devil king in the past, because the devil king in the past still needs to consider According to the opinion of the great nobles, not everyone supports him, but the new Demon King may... not be the case.
And after mastering Sarkaz, Lao Xia, who is indistinguishable from the Demon King except that he doesn’t wear the crown, can restore a more moderate strategy in the next Casimir strategy, because he already has enough manpower, so there is no need to set fire to the wasteland, but, For the knights and nobles of Casimir, whether being run over by a tractor with a rotary blade or setting fire to the wasteland is a matter of opinion.
However, for the farmers in Casimir, the former is obviously better. After all, they are the ones holding the tractor, not the ones lying on the ground waiting to be crushed~
Chapter 48 April is...
The processing plant in the old town, this is the first of Laoxia's production facilities in Longmen to start operation, and it is mainly responsible for food processing and manufacturing, "Soybean protein package, hurry up and unpack, the workshop can't wait!" Infected workers frantically lifted bags of soy protein off the truck platform.
"Where's the sugar? Where's the sugar? Warehouse manager, the second workshop needs sugar, hurry up, there's not enough material." A sweaty worker in blue overalls rushed in.
"The sugar is on the shelf over there, bastard, don't poke the bag." The part-time storekeeper's carving knife slammed the pencil in his hand, and as a famous swordsman, he seemed to throw a hidden weapon.
These workers, whether they are infected or ordinary people, will try to poke the sugar bag without looking at it to see if there is a gap to leak a little to steal, just like the operators on the production line in Rhodes Island of.
The situation in the workshop is even more serious. It has to be expressly prohibited to use a knife to scrape the syrup and sugar agglomerates on the inner wall of the equipment after get off work, because this will cause devastating damage to the non-toxic and antibacterial coating on the inner wall of the equipment.
The warehouse is already so chaotic and busy, let alone the workshop, "Dump!" The sugar bag just delivered was cut open by the worker, and the white sugar powder fell into the funnel-shaped inlet like a waterfall. , soy protein, refined starch and spices added at the end, after stirring, additives, baking, and thermoforming, it finally becomes a loose and porous seasoning nutrition bar similar to spicy strips.
The packaging workshop divides them into bags of 20, and then laser-prints the Xiashi Group’s three-leaf wheat seedling trademark on the bags, and then enters the next step of the outer packaging process. Finally, these things will be loaded into cars and sent to various supermarkets in Longmen for sale. .
Because the spices are enough and the weight is full, it is widely loved by those who don’t have much time to cook and eat. Especially when combined with instant noodles and canned food produced in the factory next door, it is simply three meals a day for Longmen migrant workers.
Although the sales volume is so good, in fact, the real profit margin is very low, because the raw materials need to be transported from Usas, and the cost of Lao Xia's "deranged and inhumane" "exploitative treatment" is still very high, so, The profit per bag does not exceed 8 cents, which makes people wonder what is the purpose of opening these factories.
"Of course it is to expand production in advance, and prepare to digest the next explosive increase in raw materials." Lao Xia said confidently, otherwise, things like food will rot, if we don't expand the production capacity in advance, there will be a bumper harvest at that time , Is the whole pile waiting to be broken?
"As for the other reason, it's probably fun."
After all, as an agricultural technician, if you can only display the things you grow, it feels like drinking without appetizers.
"By the way, you called...instant noodles, did you really put meat in it?" Shi Huaiya looked at the products piled up in the quality inspection department waiting for random inspection, "Also, who allowed you to use My image is gone, bastard!" The trademark on the packaging bag is the Q version of the little tiger.
"Because I couldn't think of a good name." Lao Xia buckled a hard hat on the little tiger's head, "Also, wear a hard hat when entering the workshop. Last time, the female worker in the next workshop thought the hat was on her ears and didn't wear it, so she was pulled into it by her hair. Inside the meat sauce machine, you don't want to know what's going on after that."
"Don't, don't say it, if you say it again, I will throw up when I see this thing." The little tiger turned pale immediately, and put on the hat obediently.
"As for the meat, I really added it, it's really beef!"
"Where did you get so many cows?" The little tiger looked at him suspiciously. There may be so many cows in Ursas's ranch, but the transportation capacity is limited. So many live cows entering the Longmen will definitely be a big news.
"No, what's the proportion of your beef?" The little tiger immediately raised a new question with his business talent. If he really added beef, it might be that one gram of beef was added to a hundred packets of seasoning and meat sauce. what.
"100%, if not counting seasonings and oil, my oil is genuine butter, and I have a special workshop for making butter." That's why Lao Xia's instant noodles are almost sweeping the Longmen market, Squeezing other similar products to the point of jumping off the building, no one knows where he got his cheap beef.
Gossip began to spread that the Xia Group's food products were all counterfeit and shoddy products, and rat meat was used to pretend to be beef. After all, you can find out how much they buy and how much they ship every month with a little snack.
This does not match the data of their daily sales of tens of tons of beef, but it is said that it is stored in Longmen, but the market price of Longmen beef has not increased, and Lao Xia has not established a large-scale cold storage for frozen meat. So... as the head of the sub-bureau, Little Tiger had to come to inspect and see what this guy was doing.
"So, where did your meat come from?"
"Uh, okay, I'll take you to have a look." Lao Xia took the little tiger into the laboratory building of the factory, and then took the elevator to the bottom deck. After two security checks, he arrived at a very strange place.
"This is... nothing." A huge circular room with a cross-shaped raised platform on the floor and nothing else.
"Ka~" Lao Xia turned on the switch on the wall, and the metal protective floor slowly rotated open, revealing the glass below and the things under the glass.
"What is this? Some kind of mixer?" The huge mechanical arm slowly rotated, stirring the light red liquid. From time to time, pieces of meat floated to the surface of the liquid and were caught by the sharp teeth on the arm and brought into the bulkhead Side recovery port.
"It is a beef cultivation cabin, which uses bovine embryonic cells to induce stem cells to differentiate into muscle cells, metabolizes in a high-nutrient environment, and produces bovine liver, bovine fat, and bovine muscle equipment. Due to the cost, it is different from the organ cultivation technology and can only form simple ones. The structure, if it is directly used to make food like steak, the muscle fibers will feel scattered, lack of chewiness, and the taste is unpalatable due to abnormal hormones." Lao Xia turned on the internal light and said.
"But you can't eat it when it's made into meat sauce or butter." Under the lighting, coral-like pipes and bionic structures grow in the light red "sea water", and there are wriggling meat, big and small. Pieces hang from it, as if they were fruit studded with branches.
One of the "fruits" that had grown to a sufficient size seemed to be ripe, and the fleshy hose connecting it with the "coral" at the end withered and disconnected automatically, and then the meat ball slowly floated up, carrying a string of air bubbles, and finally floated Waiting on the surface to be grabbed by the spinner.
It may be because of Yelena's evaluation of her wet equipment, Lao Xia's appearance is much better this time, both the nutrient supply machine and the fleshy hoses have been modified to a certain extent, under the lighting of the wall lamp, instead It feels like an aquarium.
"I have four of these training cabins, which consume a lot of electricity. Fortunately, I also repaired the power plant here, otherwise the electricity bill would be unbearable."
"Is this how your 'beef' was raised in water?" The little tiger had a weird expression on her face. She doesn't know much about technology, but beef...isn't made from cows. It's really not normal. range that can be imagined.
"No wonder those guys can't find the source of your beef." Looking at the teleportation hook inside the bulkhead, the pieces of detoxified beef are lifted up to become raw materials for the meat sauce workshop, in order to finely grind the meat sauce and filter it out The small irregular bones and hairs that may form during the tissue culture process are all brightly colored pieces of meat cut into small pieces.
The structure of this "beef block" is a layer of strong skin on the outside, and then the structure of muscle, fat, and muscle. After being cut longitudinally, it will show a marble-like pattern, which makes the workers in the meat sauce workshop ambiguous. The processed beef was stolen from the conveyor belt, because it was injected with a large amount of synthetic hormones and chemicals for artificial tissue culture. If it is stolen and eaten directly, it may be poisoned and affect endocrine diseases, which will cause great damage to the body.
Therefore, after detoxification, it needs to be smashed, filtered out the sundries, and then the residual hormones and drug ingredients inside are disposed of, and the butter and other seasonings in the cooking workshop are added to make the taste extremely strong, and normal people will definitely eat it The sauce package that does not come out the difference.
"If I hadn't seen how your beef came from, I would have thought you were crazy." The little tiger picked up the unprocessed meat on the conveyor belt, but with her identification ability, she didn't recognize it as different from the snow she usually bought. What is the difference between the top-quality beef with patterns? Even due to the artificial production of tissue culture, this "fake" looks even more beautiful.
The distribution of fat is perfect and complex geometric structure, the muscle fibers also appear strong and powerful, and even because it is cultivated in an isolated environment, there is no peculiar smell except for a very faint smell of blood.If you put it together with the high-end products you have eaten, maybe everyone will think that the real product is the fake, and this thing that looks like it was picked up from the breeding tank is the real high-end product.
"It looks good, but it doesn't necessarily taste good. After all, it is a quick product. Rapid development will make the muscle fibers look strong and powerful, but in fact it will be extraordinarily messy, soft and disgusting to eat."
"nausea?"
"It's like eating a seasoned cotton set." Lao Xia described the taste of this tissue culture meat, "Advanced tissue culture technology is much better, but the cost is also higher, so it is usually made into meat sauce By the way, the hamburger meat of 'Tutu Fast Food' is also provided by me, smashed, marinated, pressed, fried, at least I can't tell the difference by eating it."
"Oh my god, wait, Tutu Express? You opened that?"
"Yelena drove it, to be precise, it was driven by her snow monster team."
"Aside from telling jokes, do they have this talent?" Little Tiger was startled, "And why is it called Tutu Fast Food instead of Snow Monster Fast Food?"
"You have to ask them what they think." Old Xia spread his hands. If these cross talk players didn't have that kind of "worldly desire", he would have to go to them with a shotgun and talk to them one by one. Yelena is only 14 years old now. Ah, what do you bastards want?
Because it was opened with funds raised by the members of the Snow Monster, it is indeed not affiliated with the Xia Group. Its finances and funds are all independent, and it was opened with their savings. Now it is a well-known fast food restaurant in Longmen.
But it is only a little famous. The chain stores only exist in the old urban area, not in other urban areas, let alone in other countries. However, the flavored nutrition bars and instant noodles produced by Lao Xia are about to enter the international market.
"I probably understand. It seems that the complaints against you are not very reliable." The little tiger generally understands what is going on with the raw materials of Lao Xia's products, although he also feels a little...but, It's not at all like pretending to be with rat meat or something.
"Also, I feel that you seem to be short of money recently?"
"Well, there is a big plan coming up, and there is a funding gap." Lao Xia nodded. It would be enough if all the liquidity was covered, but this is impossible, because it is easy to break the capital chain and form a chain avalanche.
"How much difference, I still have a little pocket money here, don't, don't get me wrong, I just don't want the money to be wasted as dead money, you know, money has value only when it is spent, and I just can't find investment where to go" the little tiger scratched his face, his emerald green eyes moved towards the upper right corner.
"It's more than one billion Longmen coins, it will be collected soon."
