Chapter 325 Although it is bitter cold, there is still money to be made!
Even though Lao Zhao felt a little distressed about the matter of spending 30,000,000 yuan on the Gunpowder Shaofu, he did not regret it.
Although the Gunpowder Young Mansion had invested before and after, it was not only more than 30 million.
But it also includes a lot of rare materials.
For example, a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur, as well as the charcoal fired by the kiln and Shaofu with great effort.
These things are, so far, hard to get money for.
After all, so far, Daqin's productivity is still very limited.
The most important thing is that if something goes wrong in Gunpowder Shaofu, those skilled craftsmen in it will also need to be retrained.
If Gunpowder Shaofu fails to keep it.
Then rebuilding again will not only take a few months to build workshops and cultivate talents.
It will also cost a higher price, and a longer time, to re-purchase the raw materials for the manufacture of black powder.
At that time, I am afraid it will not be the current 30 million thing.
Lao Zhao estimated that he would have to spend at least 50 million to restore it to the current scale.
Going back and forth like this is equivalent to saving yourself 20 million dollars.
Seeing that Lao Zhao's face was a little wrong, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
But it's not good to ask aloud.
Finally, Su Yu stood up and explained what happened just now.
"What! Huns!"
As soon as he heard that the Huns broke into the pass, Meng Tian's eyes immediately went round.
It is estimated that if Wang Ben hadn't been pulling him next to him, he would have returned home and once again put on his armour and went back to the northern border.
"Boss Meng, don't get excited, just listen to Su Yu finish.
The crowd quickly appeased.
Everyone knows that Meng Tian and this group of Huns have a dozen for three years.
Now it is heard that there are actually Huns who have entered the area of Xianyang City, and even almost caused irreparable losses to Daqin.
It's impossible not to blame yourself.
Su Yu also nodded and reassured: "Yes, don't worry about it at this time, this time is not a bad thing.""
Speaking of this, Lao Zhao started to get excited.
"Do you know who is leading these Huns?"
Hearing Lao Zhao's question, Meng Tian was the first to react and asked with some uncertainty:
"Could it be... it's that Mo Dun!?"
Lao Zhao laughed: "That's right, it's that Mo Dun, hahahaha..."
Meng Tian's face also showed joy.
Originally, he was worried about the vast grassland, and had nowhere to look for the trace of Mo Dun, fearing that it would bring disaster to Da Qin.
Unexpectedly, when he came back with his front foot, the back foot came to the door by himself.
"You don't know, I was..." Lao Zhao began to talk about how he discovered the Xiongnu cavalry team.
How to control the 30mm cannon, the cavalry team of more than 100 people, beat the water.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
One shot broke the pine tree with the thickness of the waist, pierced the hole and blew up several people.
Even Mo Dun lost an arm and a leg, and finally died tragically.
Are these things that happened within half an hour just now?
Let them go for an hour, how far can they go?
Hearing that Mao Dun died tragically, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now they were still worried about whether the remaining Xiongnu refugees would threaten Daqin again because of the existence of Modun.
In the blink of an eye, this most vexing problem was solved.
It must be said that fate sometimes comes by such a coincidence.
All dust settled.
After everyone chatted for a while, the food and drinks were ready.
Meng Yi, on the other hand, took the food specially prepared by Su Yu and went home first.
It's not that he doesn't want to drink and eat meat with everyone.
It was the main house of the family, and now that the day of giving birth was approaching, he couldn't help being careless.
After all, after so many years, it was not easy to have such a child.
If there is another accident, he probably has the heart to die.
After the Xiongnu and Baiyue, the two new major problems of Da Qin, were solved one after another, Da Qin also became calm.
The days go by and the temperature drops day by day. Now it should be the season of bitter cold, but the smiles on the faces of the people are getting more and more.
Although it is said that farming is not possible in the current season, the main streets of the increasingly prosperous counties and counties have allowed them to find new ways of making money.
These street vendors, before setting out their stalls every day, will find early-rising merchants and buy from them the fresh ingredients they need today.
Not only does it save the effort of searching around, but the excellent ingredients in the hands of the merchants also ensure the quality of their snacks.
And the ingredients of these merchants were bought by the common people who wandered among the villages and went out to hunt.
Now the most popular one is Shan She, also known as wild boar.
By "borrowing" from Qin Shenglou, pork can be made into dried meat as a snack.
Pork rind can be boiled into a crystal clear aspic, or served with meat sauce for a chewy pork rind salad.
Pig trotters, pig ears, pig noses, etc., are marinated with brine bought from Qinshenglou to make mature food.
Fatty meat can be refined into lard, fried and fragrant.
As for the internal organs that Qin people rarely used before, they were all taken away by Qin Shenglou.
It made a mouth-watering fat liver tip, spicy fried pork heart and other dishes that make people eat.
Such a mountain, the hunter sells it to merchants for two hundred dollars.
Although this thing is really difficult to do.
Not only is the skin rough and fleshy, but also has a certain aggressiveness.
But a seasoned hunter could beat him three or four in a winter.
Even some men from ordinary people's families, if they cooperate with a few families, if they are lucky, they can hit a mountain in a month.
In addition to some game like hare and pheasant, there is a hundred money harvest in a month.
Although it does not reach the income of growing potatoes during busy farming seasons.
But it also made the people very satisfied.
Looking at the people living on the street, Meng Yi, who was in a happy mood, holding bone soup in one hand, showed a smile on his face.
Recently, he basically came to Qin Sheng Building every time to get some good things to make up for the wife who was in labor at home.
Humming the ditty he heard from Qin Shenglou, Meng Yi walked back to the mansion.
However, as soon as he entered the door, the pale-faced servant next to him hurriedly ran in front of him.
"My lord is not good! Madam, she...she has been having a difficult childbirth, she's dying!"
