Because Mr. Zhao was in a hurry, he didn't get off the boat and bothered the place this time, so he asked someone to call Tang Youde on the boat for lunch.

Lunch was held on the bow deck. After Tang Youde arrived, he rushed over with excitement and flushed. "Young master, I, Old Tang, finally appeared again!"

"You guy is talking more and more strangely. Could it be that you are getting mixed up with the kang for too long?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What does it mean to appear again? Are you acting here?"

"Hehe, it's almost the same. Life is like a show." Fatty Tang rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Old Tang hasn't appeared for another year. Who still remembers that I was the young master's ace Green Leaf, and I was called your right-hand man with Master Xuelang?"

"Then you two can hug each other." Mr. Zhao felt chills and sat back on the chair.

"Hope for the stars and the moon is what makes the mage look forward to!" Tang Youde happily held Xuelang's hand and shook it hard: "In the future, someone will be considered as having an opponent with Old Tang."

Xue Lang nodded with a smile and said, "I hope Mayor Tang will take care of the young monk more in the future."

"It must be certain, it will be certain in the future." Tang Youde nodded repeatedly, and then the two of them sat politely.

At this time, Qiaoqiao served the cooked dishes, and Tang Youde quickly stood up to help arrange them. He was moved and burst into tears and said, "What kind of blessing is this? I actually ate the food made by Miss Qiaoqiao again. Just like when I returned to the days of Caijia Lane, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye..."

"Yes, you are now the leader of a city." Mr. Zhao laughed loudly and pointed to the city of Xingang in the distance and said, "How is it, it's happier than opening a grocery store?"

"I'm tired and happy." Tang Youde smiled and pointed at his head and said, "I have white hair."

"Look, the true form will be revealed in less than three words." Zhao Hao called him and said while eating: "What are the problems that I have to solve?"

"It's really my parents who gave birth to me, and I know my sons." Tang Youde smiled apologized and said, "Didn't we recruit 30,000 households from China to reclaim it? As a result, the fields were divided as much, but I didn't expect that the soil here was too poor, and a maximum of 200 kilograms of wheat can be harvested by a mu of land."

"Then it's right next to the canal and irrigation is timely. The dry land that relies on the weather for food has a yield of only about 100 kilograms per mu, which is not enough." He sighed with a worry and said, "If it weren't for the high tax revenue of ships, they could do infrastructure and allow immigrants to have a job, they would probably have to give up... But the young master also saw that even the Second Pier No. 2, which was originally planned to be built during the 25th period, has been built in advance. There is no infrastructure to be built next year. There is no way to build a roundabout road, right?"

"This is not a bad idea. You should build roads first, and have more children and more trees." Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "I asked you to immigrate to 10,000 households first and explore the path. You must not listen, are you stunned now?"

"I'm asking for advice from my son." Tang Youde begged pitifully: "I know I'm wrong, I'll be obedient next time."

"It is really difficult to develop agriculture by yielding about 100 kilograms per mu." Zhao Hao sighed.

"If Danluo Island hadn't been poor, our dynasty wouldn't have given it generously to the Li Dynasty." Xue Lang was quite stunning in the 'monks' that if they didn't go out, they would know the world'. "No wonder the Li Dynasty only used to raise horses and exile prisoners."

"Then what are the locals growing?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Like the same thing planted in Shanxi and Shaanxi, buckwheat and buckwheat." Tang Youde replied: "This kind of wind breaks down and cannot contain water, so you can only plant these two things."

"Their life is hard enough." Xue Lang showed sympathy on his face. Buckwheat is also called purifying intestine grass. People become thinner the more they eat. Many great officials and nobles often eat it, calling it "not forgetting their true nature", which is actually for weight loss...

"They are all untouchables, and the Li Dynasty is not a human being. Besides, these buckwheat and buckwheat are mainly used to make concentrated feed for horses, and people can't get enough to eat." Tang Youde said.

"Has the statistics been made? How many animals are there in total on the island?" Zhao Hao asked.

"It has been found that there are 20,000 horses on the island's official horse farm, and there are also such numbers for private horse farms run by merchants. In addition, there are probably 10,000 pigs, cattle and sheep, each." Tang Youde said.

"So much?" Xue Lang couldn't help but be shocked.

"The boss of this island is as big as two Kunshan counties. It is not good to grow grain on the ground, but it is very suitable for growing pasture." Tang Youde smiled and said, "Six or seven out of ten of the untold people on the island are raising livestock. First, they have to pay tribute to our court and Li Dynasty every year. Moreover, this is also the main source of economic resources on the island."

"You have inspected how much room for development in the animal husbandry industry?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"The space is too big. Now the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep on the island are all free-range. If it is changed to captives, it will be fine if it is ten times or dozens of times." Tang Youde said: "Of course, the manpower needed will be in the sea..."

After saying that, he suddenly said, "What do you mean is that in the future, the island will focus on animal husbandry?"

"Of course we have to adapt to local conditions and avoid our weaknesses." Mr. Zhao nodded and sipped the wine that served with food. "The land on Danluo Island is poor and the cost of improvement is too high. It is better to just plant oats and buckwheat and engage in livestock industry. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

"It's good to do this." Tang Youde was a businessman and had to ask where the sales were in everything. "It's just that Danluo Island is alone overseas and raises so many pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. How can Guangxingang City and the security district digest?

The sea was bumpy and transporting live animals was very difficult. Not only was the cost extremely high, but the mortality rate remained high. Therefore, only horses that paid tribute were sent to North Korea by boat... and they were transported in the middle of the south wind, so that they could get ashore in one day. There were also grooms who took special care of them, and they would die every time by 20%.

Of course, no one knows whether he died or not. However, except for the selected tribute horses worth hundreds of gold, the rest of the animals are not worth shipping by sea, which is absolutely true.

"You know nothing about the power of science." Mr. Zhao smiled and ordered, and the guard brought two glass jars and a glass bottle.

The glass jar was tightly plugged into the bottle with cork and tied it with cooked iron wire. One was filled with yellow peaches that were not part of this season, and the other was filled with red meat cut into large pieces. The glass jar was filled with milky white liquid, and the bottle was also tied with cork and iron wire.

Gao Wu unscrewed the wire with his bare hands, pulled out the bottle stopper, and poured the yellow peach soup in the glass cup into a large bowl.

Zhao Hao handed Tang Youde a fork and asked him to eat a piece of yellow peach to taste.

"I won't eat my stomach badly, right?" Tang Youde was quite worried, but the young master asked me to eat it, so even Oli couldn't frown. He then clenched the bullet and put it in one piece and tasted it. Well, it was sweet, the taste was pretty good, and it was definitely not bad.

"I didn't expect that I could still eat fresh yellow peaches this season!" Tang Youde happily ate a few pieces. "Is this grown in a greenhouse?"

"No, it's just the yellow peaches in summer. They have been picked for three months." Zhao Hao smiled faintly, quite proud.

"Oh? So powerful?" Tang Youde raised his hands and thumbs up: "I am really worthy of being a young master! Science can do everything!"

"Science is not that amazing, it just happened to solve the problem of storing fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time." Zhao Hao smiled and prepared to open another can and show off his canned meat. "Come on, try this again, this was also stewed three months ago."

What's embarrassing is that he twisted it for a long time but didn't unscrew the wire from the seal. He had to hand it to Brother Gao as if nothing had happened.

Gao Wu easily unscrewed the wire, pulled out the bottle plug, and poured the large piece of beef into the bowl with soup... Alas, the cows in Kunshan County will always encounter accidents and diseases, and it is difficult to die of sleep.

"Yeah, this one is even better." Tang Youde tasted a piece, and the taste was so good. The meat was soft and soaked, and it was very delicious. "It's not salty, how could it last for so long?"

"This is the magic of canning." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I want to take these to the capital to give gifts, so I use glass jars. In fact, it is not different to use porcelain jars and clay jars... Of course, clay jars need to be glazed to use, otherwise they will be breathable."

"Is this called canned food?" Tang Youde said excitedly: "Now there is no worries about how many pigs, cattle and sheep are all made into canned food, and it will definitely make a big profit when you sell it back to Jiangnan!"

He knew that Jiangnan had few land and many people, and the climate was humid and hot, so it was completely unsuitable for animal husbandry. Therefore, except for wealthy families, ordinary rich people could not afford fresh meat, so they could only replace it with cured meat, bacon and fish. The people in Jiangnan were rich, and the demand for meat was huge, so canned meat would definitely be popular!

Not to mention canned fruits, is it simply a huge profit in the long autumn and winter?

Tang Youde seemed to see pigs, cattle and sheep all over the mountains on Danluo Island, lined up to the workshop and turned into canned food and transported back to the Ming Dynasty, making a lot of money and making a lot of money.

Although he had customs and could collect money from maritime trade, as an old-fashioned Hui merchant, he still felt that making money from production, supply and marketing was the king.

"What is this, is milk?" Xue Lang was not interested in making money at all. Seeing that the two of them had not finished chatting, they took the remaining glass bottle, pulled out the bottle plug, and smelled a scent of milk.

There is no prohibition on drinking milk in Buddhist precepts. When the Buddha realized the truth, he was exhausted and accepted the goat milk offered by the shepherd's daughter. Therefore, Xuelang could drink milk. Otherwise, his skin would not be whiter and tenderer than a woman...

Xue Lang tasted it, and it turned out to be milk. He couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't enjoy it."

He usually drinks breast milk, of course he squeezes out to drink!

"Is this the milk I put three months ago?"

"This pasteurized milk has a shelf life of only half a month, but it can maximize the nutrition and freshness of milk." Mr. Zhao's current height depends entirely on a cup of milk a day. He has long used pasteurized disinfection to preserve milk.

The so-called pasteurization method is to heat the milk to 60 degrees and a half hour, so that only lactic acid bacteria that are beneficial to the human body will be left in the milk. In this season, it is okay to seal it for ten days and half a month.
