Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1836, Sky Cliff Australia
On a sea area in the north of Australia, three large ships are slowly heading towards the southeast coast of Australia.

On the deck of one of the ships, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were enjoying the beautiful scenery leisurely.

The sky is blue, blue, and the sea is very clear. You can clearly see the coral groups and fish groups under the seabed, colorful corals, colorful and various fish, groups and groups. When you sit on a boat and watch, it is like In the world of fairy tales, people can't help but imagine the ocean kingdom under the sea.

"There are so many fish and corals here!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at everything in front of him with great interest, feeling very fresh. Along the way, he saw many kinds of seas. The sea in the north of Australia is so magical.

"Your Majesty, the average depth of the sea in the north of Australia is very low, only a dozen meters, and there are many corals and reefs. In addition, the ocean currents flow through this area, bringing rich nutrients, so the northern part of Australia is created. Great Barrier Reef."

Liu Jin explained to Emperor Hongzhi with a smile that Australia is actually a very barren continent. There are very few lands suitable for human survival here, and only some places in the southeast coastal area are suitable for human survival.

Most of the other places are desert areas, which are not suitable for human survival at all. The population of Australia has always been small. It has only just exceeded one million.

After Emperor Hongzhi came out this time, it seemed that he had no intention of going back early. After visiting Nanyang, he came to Australia, and planned to go to the Golden Island, and then go back after circling the Pacific Ocean.

There's no other way, the emperor said a word, the courtiers would break their legs, and he could only follow Emperor Hongzhi to wander around outside, poor, two beautiful wives in his home.

"It turns out that the world is so big, it's really amazing."

Emperor Hongzhi also nodded and sighed after listening.

Along the way, Emperor Hongzhi has gained a lot of knowledge. He has read all the customs, landscapes, poems and paintings of various places, which also made Emperor Hongzhi gain a lot.

In the past, I was always in the palace, and I could only learn about everything in the outside world through the newspapers. Now I can finally come out for a walk and take a look in person. Some things can only be experienced and deeply felt by myself.

Just like everything in front of you, if you don't see it yourself, how can you believe that there will be such a beautiful sea area.

The three large ships were moving slowly. These three ships were ordered to be chartered in advance. The ships were loaded with the vehicles and materials for Emperor Hongzhi's trip, and there were also precautions against any accidents at sea.

After several days of sailing, the three large ships also successfully arrived at Suzaku City, the capital of southeast Australia. The three large ships were moored in the port and began to overhaul to prepare for the next sea trip.

As for Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, they got into the car and went straight into Suzaku City.

Although Suzaku City is the capital of Australia, its scale is not large, with a population of less than 20 people, and it is different from the traditional cities of Ming Dynasty. This Suzaku City is a typical new type of city without even a city wall.

However, everything is planned very neatly, and the roads are very spacious, but it is rare to see a large number of cars, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. on the roads like other places in Daming, and more of them are four-wheeled. Carriage and horseback riding.

This place is far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the population is not large, so it has been counted as a forgotten place for a long time. The exchange of commerce and information is not smooth, and this place feels like a paradise.

Liu Jin carefully observed the pedestrians on the road, and he could clearly see the pedestrians here, both grassland people and Han people, and there seemed to be no barriers between them, and they got along very well.

From time to time, you can see herdsmen driving a large number of cattle and sheep to the slaughtering factories next to the road. The strong smell of blood comes with the wind, making people sick.

There are too many cattle and sheep produced in Australia.

After more than ten years of grazing, Australia has become one of the most important pastures in Daming and one of the most important meat warehouses in Ming.

Daming's Northern Grassland Province, Central Asia Province, Australia, and South Golden Continent Grassland, these four places are the meat warehouses of Daming. They are the places where Daming grazes the most cattle and sheep, and produces the most cattle, sheep and horses.

Different from the three places of Northern Grassland Province, Central Asia Province, and Hezhong Province, they are close to the mainland of Daming and have special trains to transport them. Therefore, most of the cattle and sheep produced in these three places are fresh cattle and sheep. It is pulled by train to the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Jiangnan area, and various places in the Ming Dynasty for sale.

The advantage of this kind of sales is that the price can be sold at a higher price, and the sales volume is also better. Naturally, it is better to eat fresh beef and mutton, and the taste of dried meat is naturally much worse.

Australia and the South Golden Continent prairie are different here, far away from the homeland of Ming Dynasty, there is no way to send fresh cattle and sheep to the table of local Daming people.

However, the production of cattle, sheep and horses here has been increasing year after year, so they cannot be raised all the time.

There is no way, Australia and South Gold Island process beef and mutton into jerky, and then sell them.

Making jerky has the advantages of jerky, one is that it can be stored for a longer period of time, and the other is that it is convenient for transportation.

Of course, the price of jerky is not as good as that of fresh beef and mutton, and the sales volume is not very good. It is mainly bought by ships and sailors who go to sea.

When sailing on the sea, it is natural to carry a lot of various tasks, and beef jerky and mutton jerky are naturally indispensable.

As for the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty, what the hell is to use these meat as snacks for children. After all, it is beef and mutton. Eating meat is good for the health, of course the key is that it is cheap.

"What a strong smell of blood!"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

"Your Majesty, this should be a local beef and mutton processing factory, which is specially used to process beef and mutton into jerky and jerky."

Liu Jin looked at the beef and mutton processing factories on both sides of the road and said.

"Yeah, let's go and have a look."

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi heard it, he immediately became interested. The bad smell is bad, but what should be seen should be seen, and what should be understood should be understood.

Under the order of Emperor Hongzhi, the convoy quickly headed towards a large processing factory. The arrival of dozens of cars and several large trucks also made the factory director Li Dahai ecstatic. After hearing the news , also thought it was a big customer who wanted to buy jerky from his own factory, so he hurried out.

Li Dahai was one of the first people to immigrate to Australia. He is a Han Chinese. Later, he responded to the claim that he immigrated to the Prairie Province. He also married a widow from the Prairie. Later, he immigrated to Australia.
In more than ten years in Australia, after grazing cattle and sheep, planting wheat, corn and sweet potatoes, and accumulating some wealth, coupled with the fact that the number of cattle and sheep in Australia increased sharply at that time, but they could not be sold. .

He came up with the idea of ​​processing beef and mutton into jerky, so he founded the sea beef and mutton processing factory, which specialized in purchasing beef and mutton from the surrounding herdsmen, then processed it into jerky, and finally sold it back to Daming or Is the rest of the world to go.

After years of development, the processing plant has become larger and larger, and has also introduced a large number of machinery, which can already realize semi-mechanized processing and slaughtering.

Employing more than 100 workers, it can slaughter and process more than 5000 cattle and sheep every day. The sea brand's beef and mutton jerky, dried meat, and meat sausage are also quite famous.

"My humble Li Dahai, this is my son Li Batu, welcome to visit our processing plant!"

Li Dahai and his son Li Batu welcomed the arrival of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin with a smile on his face.

Li Batu is not his own son, but the son left behind by his wife's ex-husband from the prairie, and another daughter, Qi Qige.

According to the customs of the grassland people, even if this child was born by his ex-wife and ex-husband, it should be regarded as his own. Of course, this Batu also followed the tradition of the Ming people and changed his surname to Li.

Li Batu, who was still a naughty boy when he immigrated here, has already married and established a business, and has become a man. He is also helping his father Li Dahai to run the processing factory.

"welcome!"

Li Batu was dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing. If he hadn't looked like a typical prairie man, you wouldn't even believe he was a prairie man.

"My surname is Liu, and this is Master Zhu. Our master wants to visit your factory, isn't it convenient?"

Liu Jin introduced himself and Emperor Hongzhi with a smile, and also stated his purpose.

"Convenient, convenient~"

"Everyone who comes is a guest, so what's the inconvenience?"

Li Dahai smiled and nodded repeatedly. The background and style of the two people in front of them are really not simple. There are more than a dozen taels of cars, and this car costs several thousand taels of silver. There are also several trucks and dozens of servants accompanying them. , each of them looks like a soldier who has received strict training.

There are still people around to serve you anytime, anywhere, no doubt, this is obviously a noble person.

If this is done well, maybe a big order will be placed, enough for his factory to live a prosperous life.

Li Dahai and Li Batu enthusiastically brought Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin into their factory, and introduced them in detail as they walked.

"My factory has been established for more than ten years. It was established in the [-]th year of Hongzhi. After more than ten years of development, the current scale is already quite good."

"The entire factory has two cattle and sheep slaughter lines, which can slaughter and process more than 5000 cattle and sheep every day. At the same time, our product lines are also increasing, such as beef jerky, mutton jerky, beef cubes, lamb cubes, beef and mutton dried meat, beef and mutton meat sausage and more"
