Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 752: One Person Eats 164 Pounds Of Cheese A Day? [Please Subscribe, Please Order In Full]

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Ru were immersed in the fantasy of huge income from selling milk and cheese in the future, Zhu Xiongying on the side had a question:

"Teacher, so much milk and goat's milk cheese, are they all sold out?!!"

"Or can the people of the Central Plains eat so much milk and cheese?!!"

If a cow can produce at least two tons of milk per year, then the annual milk production of one million cows will be at least two million tons!

If there are 10 million cows, the annual milk production will be at least 20 million tons!

Twenty million tons of milk, even if it is made into milk cheese at a ratio of ten to one, is still two million tons of milk cheese.

There are only 60 million people in the entire Central Plains. Sixty million divided by two million, that is 30 tons of milk and cheese per person per year.

In other words, it is 60,000 kilograms of milk-dried cheese per person per year.

To put it another way, on average, a person consumes about 164 kilograms of milk cheese a day, which can barely consume the 20 million tons of milk cheese produced by 10 million cows in a year. .

But the problem is that if one person consumes 164 kilograms of milk-dried cheese for three meals a day, he won’t be able to finish it all.

What's more, for the people in the Central Plains, it is impossible to eat dried milk cheese.

And even if you don't raise 10 million cows, but only raise 1 million cows, on average, the 60 million Central Plains people still need to consume 16.4 kilograms of milk-dried cheese a day.

This is also a weight that cannot be digested by the people of the Central Plains.

And this is just the amount of cow's milk cheese. You must know that in addition to cow's milk cheese, there is also a huge amount of goat's milk cheese!

Whether it's cow's milk dry cheese or goat's milk dry cheese, Zhu Xiongying estimates that the people in the Central Plains can eat a pound of that kind of dry cheese a day, which is already considered a good appetite.

If there are more, it will really embarrass the people of the Central Plains.

After Zhu Xiongying spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Ru also came back from their illusions.

Thanks to Yan Changqing's previous teachings in mathematics, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Xi both had good arithmetic skills.

In just a few breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Ru calculated in their hearts the amount of milk cheese produced by raising ten million cows, and the amount of milk cheese produced by raising one million cows. amount.

It is also concluded that the common people in the Central Plains need to eat 164 kilograms of milk cheese a day to fully eat the milk cheese produced by 10 million cows.

Even if the number of cows raised is reduced from 10 million to 1 million, the people in the Central Plains would still need to eat 16.4 kilograms of milk cheese a day to fully consume the milk cheese produced by one million cows. .

After arriving at such a result, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu faintly heard the sound of something breaking in their hearts.

Oh, it was their money-making heart that was broken.

Gone!!!

Their money from 200 million to 400 million, or even from 2 billion to 4 billion, is gone!!!

The people in the Central Plains simply cannot eat so much milk-dried cheese!!!

And if the people in the Central Plains can't eat so much milk cheese, then what's the use of raising so many cows and producing so much milk cheese that they can't sell in the end?!!

Yan Changqing on the podium looked at Zhu Xiongying approvingly, nodded, but then shook his head and said:

"If we calculate based on the current population of 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed impossible to digest the 20 million tons of milk-dried cheese produced annually."

"However, a large state-owned ranch capable of raising tens of millions of cattle and sheep cannot be built overnight."

“In order to build a large state-owned ranch with tens of millions of cattle and sheep, the Ming Dynasty needed to first pacify the grassland tribes in northern Xinjiang, then immigrate to the border areas, and finally organize manpower to raise cattle and sheep.

"The entire process would have taken Ming Dynasty at least one five-year plan, and at most even two or three five-year plans before it was possible to build a state-owned ranch with tens of millions of cattle and sheep in northern Xinjiang. ”

"In other words, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to obtain a state-owned ranch with tens of millions of cattle and sheep, and harvest 20 million tons of goat milk and cow's milk cheese, it would have taken at least five to fifteen years!"

"In the next five to fifteen years, the population of Ming Dynasty will at least quadruple, reaching around 250 million, and it is not impossible to even reach 300 to 400 million!"

In the history of the previous life, Yongzheng implemented the policy of "dividing a small portion into an acre", and added the assistance of high-yielding grains such as rice, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes in Champa City.

During the thirteen years from the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty to the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the population of the Qing Dynasty skyrocketed from the original population of just over 100 million to over 400 million, "an increase of 2,400 percent!"

Now, the Ming Dynasty has not only abolished the policy of "dividing a small person into an acre", but also has the assistance of high-yielding grains such as rice, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.

In addition, he invented forceps in advance, established a gynecology department, worked hard to popularize fertility knowledge, and reduced the fertility risks of common women, etc.

He did not believe that under such a series of policies and measures, the population of Ming Dynasty would not reach 250 million in five to fifteen years!

Let alone 250 million, even if it is 300 million or even 400 million, Yan Changqing feels that there may not be a chance to make a splash!

After all, the Chinese nation has always been a nation that advocates having more children, more blessings, and continuing the family line. As long as the people have the ability and affordability, and the external environment is peaceful and stable, then the people will definitely be willing to have more children.

If it is said that even the common people of the Chinese nation, who advocate more children and more blessings and attach the most importance to the inheritance of the family line, were finally forced to choose not to have children anymore.

So don’t think too much, there must be something wrong with the social environment.

For example, in order to raise money to fight the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abruptly lowered the oral education age of the common people from the original six years to three years.

In addition, the amount of oral tax was increased to 23 mun per person per year, and the amount of calculated tax was increased sharply to 120 mun per person per year, which was three times higher than before.

The ability of ordinary people to withstand natural risks is low. Not to mention how much money they make from farming throughout the year, there are very few times when they can guarantee themselves food and clothing.

Faced with having a baby, but unable to afford the high financial and oral taxes that the baby brings, the common people eventually had to tearfully abandon their babies on a large scale, or even commit infanticide!

This was also one of the stains that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not wash away!

After hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, and Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Indeed, they had just regarded the state-owned ranch, which could raise tens of millions of cattle and sheep, as something that could appear in the blink of an eye.

Let’s not mention how long it will take to completely master the northern Xinjiang grassland. Just raising tens of millions of cattle and sheep is not something that can be achieved in a year or five years.

At least it will take five or ten years to raise tens of millions of cattle and sheep on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

And in such a long time, it is not impossible that the population of Ming Dynasty increased from 60 million to 250 million.

As for the more 300 million, or even 400 million, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ju and Zhu Xiongying felt that it was still a bit doubtful.

However, even with a population of 250 million, facing the milk cheese brought by raising millions of cattle, one person would still need to consume an average of 4.1 kilograms of milk cheese a day.

If one person eats four pounds of milk and dry cheese a day, one pound in the morning, one pound at noon, one pound in the evening, and finally another pound as a midnight snack, he can barely consume it.

Okay, still not working!

As for milk-dried cheese, the people in the Central Plains really cannot eat it as three meals a day.

And the population of 250 million people cannot even consume the milk cheese brought by raising one million cattle, let alone the massive amount of milk cheese brought by raising tens of millions of cattle.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, King Zhou Zhu and Zhu Xiongying who were still frowning, Yan Changqing seemed to see the doubts in their hearts and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about running out of goat's milk and cow's milk. In addition to being used to make dry cheese, cow's milk and goat's milk have many other uses!"

"For example, it can be used to make a variety of cookies, cakes, bread and other delicacies."

"For your and Ji Xi's and Gao Chi's birthdays last year, the birthday cakes I made for you were made of cheese.

"Whether it's cakes, biscuits, bread or other delicacies, they are basically all sweet!"

"Maybe the people in the Central Plains cannot eat four kilograms of dry cheese a day, but if conditions permit, the people in the Central Plains can definitely eat four kilograms of sweets a day!!!"

"You know, in this era, sweets are also a rare food for ordinary people.

At the end, Yan Changqing couldn't help but sigh softly.

In this era, sweets, or sugar, are just like salt in the past. They are also very precious things to ordinary people.

That’s not to say that they can’t afford to eat at all, but if they want to eat as much as they want and eat as much as they want, it’s obviously impossible for ordinary people.

Salt used to be expensive, but sugar is still expensive now!

However, since the seaside salt field was opened, thousands of tons of sea salt have been continuously transferred and distributed to various supply and marketing cooperatives in the future through Daming's large logistics and transportation team.

Nowadays, the price of Daming salt has been driven down by Yan Changqing.

At least now, if the people of the Ming Dynasty want to buy salt, they no longer need to dig around and weigh it for a long time.

After the price of salt was driven down, Yan Changqing's next target was sugar.

But Yan Changqing also has no way to turn thousands of tons of sugar out of thin air, or even if he wants to make thousands of tons of sugar, it is a very troublesome thing.

So Yan Changqing set his goal on milk!

Natural pure milk contains lactose, in other words, it is sweet!

And dry cheese made from pure milk will also be sweet if the taste is not adjusted!

Biscuits, cakes, bread and other foods made from milk-dried cheese are even more serious sweet foods!

As long as it is sweet food, most people in the Central Plains like to eat it.

If the price of this sweet video is very affordable, then people in the Central Plains will definitely buy it in a big way.

A person may not be able to eat four kilograms of dry cheese a day, but if a person can eat four kilograms of cakes, biscuits, bread, cheese corn pancakes and other sweets a day, there is absolutely no problem!

Even dry cheese can be made into cakes, biscuits, bread, cheese corn pancakes and other sweets, and the price can be higher.

Of course, if it is for small profits but quick turnover, then it is not impossible to lower some prices.

Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Jixi, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but swallowed when they heard Yan Changqing mention the cake.

That sweet, soft,

The fragrant cream birthday cake is really delicious!

But it is a pity that their teacher will only make them a birthday cake on their birthday, and is too lazy to do it at other times.

As for the palace chef, it is not that they have not learned how to make cakes, but the cakes made by the palace chef are not known to have psychological effects.

I always feel that it is different from the cake made by their teacher. It is not as delicious as the birthday cake made by their teacher.

“In addition, milk can not only be used to make a variety of biscuits, cakes, bread and other delicacies, it can also be used to make a variety of milk tea drinks.

"

"One person may not be able to eat two kilograms of sweets a day, but drinking two kilograms of sweet milk tea a day is absolutely fine!"

At the end of the sentence, a smile flashed across Yan Changzhi's lips.

Milk tea!

There was a joke in a previous life called "What flows in young people's bodies is not blood, but milk tea!!!"

What young person doesn’t drink milk tea?!!

Some drink a cup every now and then, some drink two or three drinks a day!

Even if he orders one or two large cups of milk tea every three or two days.

A large cup of milk tea is basically about 700 ml, which is about 1.4 pounds.

Two pounds of milk tea a day is not a problem at all for young people.

If there is a problem, the only problem is that the milk tea is too expensive!

Moreover, those milk teas in the previous life were all technological products such as various flavors. His milk tea brewed with real milk powder and tea leaves may not be as good as the taste in the previous life.

But in terms of raw material quality, it definitely beats milk tea in its previous life.

Even if someone used real milk to brew milk tea like him in the previous life, the final result would be that the price was too high, not many people could afford it, and the money would not be recovered.

Then it goes bankrupt; or the price is too low, and it goes bankrupt!

But for him in this era, the cost of using real milk is too high and leads to bankruptcy?!

Totally non-existent!!!

Milk in this era is almost worthless, and you can earn as much as you sell.

Even if there is a cost, it is only the cost of labor at most, and the cost of raw materials can be directly ignored.

"So let alone raising millions of cows, even if you raise tens of millions of cows, you don't have to worry about not being able to consume the milk!"

"If you are worried about this, then recruit more dessert chefs to work hard to develop more desserts and drinks related to milk tea, cheese, milk powder, etc.

It would be great to find ways to further extend the shelf life of various dairy products. "

Yan Changqing concluded.

Hearing these words [Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Zhu Zhu also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought that the imperial court's income of 200 million to 400 million guans a year, or even 2 billion to 4 billion guans, was gone.

Fortunately, fortunately, the income from 200 million Guan to 400 million Guan a year, or even from 2 billion to 4 billion Guan, was maintained.

However, we need to arrange more royal chefs to develop the edible uses of cow's milk and goat's milk, and find ways to further extend the shelf life of various dairy products.

The money bag of milk and goat milk can be more secure.
