The Emperor is Above

Chapter 268 Beihuang Grain and Oil Group!

"Boil beans to make butter, this is bean milk made from bean juice!"

Qing Yi was holding a piece of fresh tofu with a smile on his face, introducing his new product. Because the word "fu" in "fu" means rotten, he simply used the ancient name "shuru" to make it sound more high-end and classy.

"Brother Ran You, the days are short and the weather is cold, so we need to eat more hot food. Adding bean curd to your stone hot pot will also be a delicious dish with a unique flavor."

"Brother Yi, this bean curd looks white as jade and looks good, but it has a strange bean smell. I don't know if the diners would like to eat it!"

Ran You couldn't help scratching his head, feeling embarrassed by the unfamiliar food he had never seen before, especially since this food was made from the cheapest beans.

Zhu Chengze took a look and said with some concern: "Brother Yi, although your bean curd looks good, since ancient times, people have regarded beans as cheap coarse grains. Even if you make it look good, you will still lose money, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, brother. In my opinion, there are many businesses in this world that lose money, but this bean milk business is the only one that will never lose money!"

Qing Yi said with confidence in his eyes, "I asked Brother Dazhu to purchase 50 million kilograms of beans, and make bean milk while pressing oil. Especially this bean milk, when it is ground into dry powder, it is bean powder, when it is ground into juice, it is juice, and when it is diluted with brine, it is bean brain flower, and when it is thick, it is bean milk.

If it is cut thinly, it can be made into dried bean curd. Even if it cannot be sold due to bad business, it can still be made into fermented bean curd or fried bean curd. Even the residue from making the bean curd is a good feed and can be used to raise pigs.

Even if the Chinese people cannot accept the taste of bean curd, we can use up 50 million kilograms of beans in a month just by pressing oil. We don’t have to worry about losing money in this oil mill for at least a few years.”

"Hey, it's still delicious. Even though it smells a bit weird, it tastes pretty good!"

However, Zi Che Zhongxing mustered up the courage and took the lead in tasting a piece of fried tofu. His eyes immediately lit up and he tried them one by one in one breath.

Following his lead, Ran You also tried to taste it and could not help nodding his head repeatedly, saying, "Brother Yi, these fermented bean curds taste pretty good. I'll send someone to deliver a batch to the store today to see how it works."

Bai Ze also took a thin piece of tofu skin, dipped it in the sauce and chewed it. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised it, "I think this dried tofu milk tastes better. It is easy to store after adding salt and drying it. It can also be used as military rations for easy carrying."

"Yes, Captain Bai Ze's idea is good!" Zhu Cheng carefully tasted the fried tofu in his mouth and nodded repeatedly, "This fried tofu can be used as military rations. We can eat it after soaking it in boiling water."

On the clean table next to them were more than a dozen bowls and plates of different sizes. In addition to fresh tofu, tofu skin, and fried tofu, there were also soy milk, soy brain, and even freshly soaked bean sprouts.

Even the barbecued bean curd invented independently by two foodies, Da Niu and Mu Yi, received unanimous praise from everyone, which made Qing Yi look at them with admiration.

After tasting them himself, Ran You ordered dozens of kilograms of each bean and dairy product. Qiu Yuan, Zhu Cheng and Bai Ze also purchased a batch on behalf of the City Guards, the Left Division and the Central Division respectively and sent them to their respective canteens as fresh dishes.

Qing Yi smiled and handed over several freshly made large orders to Shi Ludan to execute. He spent so much effort to produce a large number of soy products, not just to make money.

The large number of soy products can not only greatly improve the living standards of the Chinese people, but also provide them with more nutrients and create a large number of new industries.

More importantly, the promotion of soybean oil extraction and soy products can enable the twelve cities in the northern border of Xing State, where the land is barren, to obtain higher returns from the beans they grow. These are all integral parts of establishing a livelihood for the people.

Shi Ludan listened carefully to the requests of several big customers and looked at Qing Yi with admiration. As a ranger, the most he could think of was to let the poor people he knew push a cart to sell bean milk. He didn't expect that the lord would have big customers coming to him without doing anything.

This former ranger and evil young leader had no idea that his self-proclaimed incompetent behavior was actually valued by Qing Yi, who asked Tun Shigu to lead people to produce a large number of carts and support a group of poor Chinese people to become downstream vendors of the workshop.

While Ran You, Bai Ze and others were visiting the many novel things in the workshop under the guidance of Tun Shigu, Qing Yi took a break from his busy schedule and observed the movements in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In just a few days, the five golden words "for the people" became larger, several times larger than the other golden words, and the golden light radiated became more and more brilliant, dyeing the spiritual energy vortex a bit golden. The changes in the sea of ​​consciousness confirmed Qing Yi's previous guess that his approach was completely correct. The ambition of "for the people" sounds very lofty, but it requires down-to-earth work to achieve it step by step.

After seeing off Qiu Yuan, Bai Ze, Zhu Cheng, Ran You, Zi Che Zhongxing and his party, merchants from inside and outside the capital flocked to the city after hearing the news, scrambling to buy the expensive oils and fats on the market, and also buying a lot of soy products.

Xing Shu, who had been jumping around in the workshop, saw that the shops outside the warehouse were crowded with merchants, including many merchants from the south of the Zhongzhou River. He was immediately surprised and couldn't close his mouth: "Transporting oil from the capital to Zhongzhou is thousands of miles away. Aren't they afraid of losing money?"

Qing Yi smiled and said, "Why would a merchant do a business that would lose money? Our oil is only half the price of animal fat on the market. When they transport it to Zhongzhou, they will definitely treat it as high-end oil and sell it for a price that may be much higher than animal fat."

Xing Shu calculated the day's earnings in his mind, and immediately cheered with joy, "That's great, I was worried that I wouldn't have much pocket money this year.

Now we can process hundreds of thousands of kilograms of oil a day, which can be sold for at least tens of millions of copper coins, and in less than a month, the profit will be hundreds of millions of coins."

Tushi Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, his fat face was full of excitement, and he suggested excitedly: "Brother, you chose to build a workshop near the pier because of the convenient transportation, right?

However, I think the city with convenient transportation is Yanjin City, which is located on the bank of a big river. The river there is twenty or thirty miles wide, connecting dozens of vassal states, and the coast is all prosperous land of various countries.

Why don't we build a bigger workshop there? The squeezed oil can be sold not only in Xing State, but also to dozens of vassal states."

"Master Tu's idea is quite good. Beans are cheap in all countries. One hundred catties of beans only cost two hundred coins, but twelve catties of oil can be sold for one thousand two hundred coins!"

Shi Dazhu couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Even though he never valued money, he was shocked by the current profits from oil pressing.

Xing Shu nodded excitedly. The profit from oil pressing in the capital alone was so high. If she sold oil to dozens of vassal states, wouldn't she be rich enough to rival an entire country? She really wanted to be a little rich woman!
Looking at the excited expressions of the people in front of him, Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "How could I not know that setting up a workshop in Yanjin City would be more profitable, and communicating with other countries there would also be more likely to cause trouble. We can't afford such pressure."

As soon as Qing Yi said this, Shi Dazhu, Xing Shu and Tun Shigu understood everything. The profit of this newly-launched oil pressing industry was too high. The king, the nobles, and even the nobles and ministers across the country would surely be eyeing it covetously.

Even though Qing Yi wanted to benefit the country and the people, he was not willing to give up this industry immediately. After all, he still had many ideas in the next one or two years that would require a lot of money and materials.

Just when Xing Shu and Tu Shigu were a little disappointed, Qing Yi laughed again: "We are indeed weak and can hardly withstand too much pressure, but we can invite more people to invest!

For example, whether Huo Yunyaqing has children with good character, Senior Doctor Bao Bu Tong once served as the defender of Yanjin City, and any priest in the Gongfeng Hall is willing to get close to us, we can bring in their children.

In addition, the city guard captain Qiu Yuan, the friendly captains of the left division, right division, and central division, the night guard captain Xing Shuming, the commander of the black armor cavalry Tai Shu Bingxin and Liangqiu Juzhong can all be invited to join. "

Shi Dazhu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Yi, this is a great idea. As long as there are enough people supporting it, we won't have to worry about the workshop being taken away by the monarch for at least two or three years."

Even Xing Shu, the daughter of the king, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's do this. I can also ask the sisters of each family. If there are more people, I don't have to worry about the king and father snatching my small treasury."

Tuan Shigu was so excited that his fat body was shaking. It was too high for a commoner to do business with the daughter of the king, the grandson of the Grand Master, and the sons of the nobles.

He asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, if we are looking for so many partners, what should we name our trading company?"

Qing Yi pondered for a moment and smiled faintly: "Of course it's called Beihuang Grain and Oil Group!"
