In the bustling Tianjin Port, a huge whale was dismembered by more than a dozen butchers and was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Large pieces of whale meat were bought on the spot.
Five cents per pound of whale meat is not expensive at all. Of course, compared with other ordinary seafood, the price is a little more expensive. However, for young and old people here in Tianjin, this five cents per pound of whale meat is not expensive at all. All can afford it.
Many industries under Liu Jin¡¯s command have led to the rapid development of Tianjin. There are dozens of industries associated with the three major factories of Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Cement and Soil, and Tianjin Glass Factory.
Taking Tianjin Shipyard as an example, the need to use wood for shipbuilding has led to the development of the logging and transportation industries in Tianjin. The need to use canvas for shipbuilding has also led to the development and rise of the weaving industry. In addition, There are also the prosperity of many industries such as paint and ironware.
Tianjin Shipyard is very popular here, and other derived industries can naturally take a share of the pie.
¡°In addition, the cement industry in Tianjin is now very prosperous. There are hundreds of thousands of people working in Tianjin alone. You can imagine that Tianjin people are really not short of money now.
¡°It¡¯s only five cents a pound of whale meat, so we can still afford it.
Pieces of whale meat are cut into small pieces and sold out. Buildings of whale oil are also very popular. This whale oil is much cheaper than lard. Not only many businessmen bid for it, but also many ordinary people buy it in small quantities. Go back and prepare to eat the whale oil yourself.
Of course, Liu Jin doesn¡¯t have to worry about selling whale oil at all. If he can¡¯t sell it, he can keep it for himself. Recently, Liu Jin also opened a Tianjin soap factory here in Tianjin, and plans to use whale oil to make soap in the future.
Well, with more industries and people under his command, the demand for soap will increase. Of course, in the past, it was because this oil was difficult to obtain and there was no way to make soap on a large scale, so there was no separate factory.
But things are different now. With the advent of whaling ships, whales will be caught almost every day from now on. The oil on one whale is enough to be worth the oil on thousands of pigs. This will provide sufficient raw materials for making soap. , the soap factory produced in the future can not only be used for self-use, but also for export.
Although this soap may not look amazing, the profit is actually very large, and it can be used for a long time. It is something that is used every day. This is a long-term business.
"Sir, the total number has been calculated~"
By the time the whole whale was sold at high prices, even the whale's internal organs and other things had been bought up, leaving only some dirty things that no one wanted, and they were still left here at the dock, surrounded by people watching the excitement. It also gradually dispersed.
It was almost noon at this time, and everyone was eager to go back and taste the deliciousness of this whale.
The whales here have been sold for about seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent. The relevant figures have been calculated for how much this whale was sold for. The steward at Tianjin Port also rushed over to report to Liu Jin.
"How many are there?"
Liu Jin asked with a smile. Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately pricked up his ears and narrowed his eyes.
"A total of thirty-five thousand, seven hundred and sixty-eight taels of silver were sold, and there were also seven hundred and fifty copper coins."
The steward at the port smiled brightly. This whale could be sold for more than 35,000 taels of silver. This money is really very profitable.
"Well, it's not bad. This is the first time, everyone is trying to be fresh. The prices of many things are exaggerated. I estimate that this whale will only be sold for a few thousand taels of silver per head in the future."
Liu Jin nodded, not seeming to care too much.
The most abundant whale meat and whale oil are whale meat and whale oil, but these two things, whale meat is very cheap, a pound of whale meat costs a few pennies, and a whale's meat costs tens of thousands of pounds, which is a matter of hundreds of taels of silver.
On the contrary, this whale oil is more valuable in this era. Due to the lack of meat, ordinary people have little oil in their bellies. Therefore, in this era, fat meat is more expensive than lean meat, and even beef is not as expensive as pork (this is me). Those who checked the information found that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary beef usually cost ten cents per catty, but fattened pork cost thirteen cents per catty).
It can be seen that oil is a very precious thing in this era. If there is no oil in this dish, the dish will not taste good. However, in addition to pork, the oils in ancient times include rapeseed oil, camellia oil, and soybean oil. , peanuts have not been introduced in this era, so naturally there is no peanut oil.
So the price of whale oil is compared to the price of whale meat.Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi, struggled to survive in the cracks when he was a child. He was cautious and cautious. He was always afraid of being killed, so he had a timid character.
Zhu Houzhao grew up in the preserves since he was a child, and he was the only son of Emperor Hongzhi. He was pampered, and everyone around him was obedient to him since he was a child. Naturally, his character was completely different.
What Zhu Houzhao decided to do was that he couldn't pull back ten cows, let alone Liu Jin. He could only do things according to Zhu Houzhao's temper, otherwise the young master might let Liu Jin go to the palace laundry room to wash Clothes and stuff.
In order to go to sea the next day, Zhu Houzhao, who was always energetic, went to bed early.
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, while Liu Jin was still sleeping soundly in bed, Zhu Houzhao had already gotten up, took Liu Jin and a few personal guards, changed into ordinary people's clothes and came to Tianjin Port.
In Tianjin Port, the huge Kunpeng is already busy, and the crew is ready to set sail.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time~ hurry up and get on the boat."
When Tian Baiyi, the captain of the Kunpeng, saw Liu Jin finally coming over, he quickly motioned for them to get on the ship.
Yesterday, Liu Jin found Tian Boyi and said that several of his friends wanted to go to the sea to learn whaling. In this way, they can also go out to sea to hunt whales and make money. For the sake of money, Tian Boyi agreed.
Yesterday, whales were sold in a big way, so there were naturally a lot of people looking for him. Some were looking for Tian Boyi to discuss purchasing whales in the future, some wanted to learn whaling, and some wanted to hire Tian Boyi to help hunt whales. In short, they had everything.
Liu Jin said that he wanted to learn to hunt whales. He didn't think it was strange. He just wanted to take a few people out to sea to see how to hunt whales. He, the captain, could still make the decision on this matter. He was the handyman who did odd jobs on the ship. It¡¯s just a lot, a few more people don¡¯t matter.
Of course, if he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty was among them, he would never dare to take Zhu Houzhao on board even if he had a thousand courages.
¡°I¡¯ve kept you waiting for a long time~¡±
Liu Jin said quickly with a smile, and after that, he took Zhu Houzhao and others on the boat.
Soon, the 'Kunpeng' began to slowly leave the Tianjin port and head towards the sea. Zhu Houzhao on the ship was very excited. He looked around the ship curiously, looking forward to the moment he encountered the whale. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
