Take the mall to Datang

"Well, you're right, so let's do it this way. By the way, put away all the fish fat, and don't let others waste it easily. It's very important that these things are used to make fish oil, and you can make a lot of money." Yuan Shan said .

"Using fish oil to make a lot of money, my husband is talking in your sleep." Dugu Ruolan asked curiously.

"Of course not. This fish oil is a health product extracted from fish fat. It can regulate blood pressure, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, prevent arteriosclerosis, nourish the brain, relieve fatigue, and enhance immunity. The value of black chicken balls is even higher," Yuan Shan explained.

"It's more valuable than black chicken balls. These things must be handled properly. Don't worry, we're here. Can you tell me the specifics?" Dugu Ruolan asked.

Seeing that Dugu Ruolan was going to preside over this matter himself, Yuan Shan told them what he was going to collect, so he didn't have to worry about the collection of raw materials.

Yuan Shan was a little embarrassed when he heard that the women who made money had diverted their attention as if they had negotiated.

"My son-in-law, it's good that you're fine, but I'm worrying this old man." After a while, Dugu Kang came over.

"Father-in-law has a heart, am I fine?" Yuan Shan said.

"By the way, we're going to eat whale meat tonight. Now that it's all right, let's go back and prepare." Yuan Shan followed Dugu Kang and left the shore, but Dugu Ruolan and his daughters did not leave. Afterwards, the Dugu family sent many People went to the shore to help.

When Yuan Shan returned to Dugu Mansion, Dugu Kang no longer had to worry about going back to the inner courtyard to start dating Uncle Li Xu.

Yuan Shan was about to refine fish oil. The method of refining is nothing more than steaming, cooking and roasting. Different fish fats need to be selected in different ways. Yuan Shan doesn't know much about these things, but he can just try a few times.

Anyway, I have already had experience in refining alcohol. It is not too difficult to refine fish oil, but it is more troublesome.

A few days later, the whole Dugu mansion was filled with a fishy smell, because there was too much fish fat collected from the shore, and there was some fish meat. Dugu's family ate fish every day, and Dugu Kang was dying. I vomited, but how can I be willing to waste things that don’t cost money.

Chapter 755 Continue South

The deep processing of whale meat is the most frequently heard topic in Yuezhou City recently.

Dried fish meat, for which the merchants started selling whale meat back and forth among the nearby ones, and made a lot of money.

The fishy smell in Dugu Mansion lasted for two weeks. Later, even Yuan Shan couldn't stand it and simply moved the temporary fish oil refining workshop to Yuan's house, but Yuan Shan didn't move from Dugu Mansion.

A group of people in Yuan's house were coming and going in and out of the room. There is already a lot of fish oil extracted for such a long time, and Yuan Shan is researching edible gelatin, because fish oil needs to be made into capsules, and the production of edible gelatin is somewhat complicated. Collagen protein extracted from animal skin and bone through more than a dozen processes such as sorting, degreasing, rinsing, neutralization, and hydrolysis.

Making capsules requires further processing with glycerin, sorbitol, etc. These things are very complicated. Now that we are going to do fish oil business, we must make capsules.

So the time to go south was postponed again, and all the merchants in Yuezhou were mobilized. If there was a lack of materials, the merchants were asked to raise money. Blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen were all recruited by the Ministry of Economics and Development to start making various equipment.

There is little movement, but the story of Yuan Shan asking someone to refine the fish oil has been spread for a long time, but no one knows the specifics, let alone the value of fish oil.

The use of gelatin, not to mention fish oil, is a pioneering work, and it will promote the production of new drugs in the medical field.

"Master Hou, it's already April. When will we continue going south?" Yan Bei asked.

"The capsule has just been developed, and it should be almost ready. It's time to prepare to go south." Yuan Shan said.

The Yuan Family House has now really become a workshop. During this time, it has been busy producing and processing all the fish oil. As for the next continuous production plan, there is no plan yet, because Yuan Shan needs the equipment and personnel involved in the workshop. Take them all.

It's not that Yanbei is in a hurry, he also has to take care of the Xiaolong, because the Xiaolong consumes Yuan's family's money every day. In name, this is a guard hired by Yuanshan. If it floats like this, Maybe it would be nice to be able to return to Chang'an next year.

This is not an exaggeration at all, just like Gao Biaoren's visit to Fusang, it took several months.

After discussing with Yan Bei and others during the day, Yuan Shan said to Dugu Ruolan at night: "Ruolan, we will continue to go south next week. In fact, I thought about it for my husband. I don't want you to stay in Vietnam if you are bumpy on the sea." Zhou runs the business of the Yuan family, so it would be nice to bring you back to Chang'an after my husband comes back from Lingnan."

"How long do we need to wait?" Dugu Ruolan asked very rationally.

"It's really hard to say. Fuzhou should not stay for a long time. It may take a little longer to stay in Lingnan. The situation there Feng Zhidai has long said that the construction will take a long time. It may take three months if it stops, and it may take more than half a year at most. Right." Yuan Shan said.

"I understand, I'm willing to stay in Yuezhou to manage the Yuan family's business, so let sister Qianyu follow you." Dugu Ruolan said.

"That's good too." Yuan Shan said.

After a night of silence, Dugu Ruolan talked about this matter to the girls the next day, and finally decided who Du Qianyu, Caiyi, and Lan Lan would be with, and the rest stayed in Yuezhou to take care of the Yuan family's business.

If Dugu Ruolan stays, it will save the need for the person who brought the capsule workshop to leave. Fish oil capsules will continue to be produced, fishing will continue to be produced, the whale business has been dealt with, and the economic benefits brought by a whale are huge. However, for a long time, there may be no more whale hunting. After all, it is impossible to do it without a treasure ship.

Most of the medium-sized merchant ships in Yuezhou have become fishing boats. On the one hand, they provide fish meat and on the other hand, they provide fish oil materials for the Yuan family. The current production is not much, and the scale of the workshop needs to be expanded.

There are many people in the port today, and Liu Guangyao looked at Yuanshan with a look of reluctance. You must know that Yuezhou's business has developed rapidly during the period from Yuanshan to Yuezhou, which made the people of Yuezhou The tax revenue increased rapidly, and there were more merchants from various Zhoufu.

At present, the office building of the Ministry of Economy and Development and the main building of the money bank are under construction, and the kiln factory is improving and constructing while producing.

No one manages food with three pennies a day, and most of the people in Yuezhou participated in the project, tens of thousands of people. Seeing the Yuan family spending money like water, Liu Guangyao had to accept it.

Cement, bricks, and ceramics are already on sale. The prices of cement purchased by merchants participating in the construction plan of the Ministry of Economic Development are generally very low, which has promoted the development of the construction of Yuezhou. In addition, the breeding industry has been valued by the Ministry of Economic Development. The most important The most important thing is the development of fishery, and the sales of products made into fish fillets are extremely good.

Charcoal-grilled fish fillets have become a delicacy in Yuezhou, and the use of a large amount of coal has driven related industries.

The fisherman's business is good. The fish they catch every day will be taken away as soon as they land on the shore. If they are carefully selected and sold, the price can be sold at a higher price. However, the fishermen don't have time to directly weigh them for money, because they can work hard if they have to choose. More fishing nets.

Liu Guangyao really didn't want Yuan Shan to leave, but he couldn't stop him even if he was the governor.

"My son-in-law, please take care of your health when you go south. Don't worry if Ruolan is in Yuezhou." Dugu Kang instructed.

Yuan Shan has long been aware of his father-in-law's temper, which is really a businessman's style of dealing with things, but this is not annoying, but caring for Ruolan is real, and he is not good for his son-in-law? Pick something, after all, they are elders.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I'll have a few drinks with you when I come back," Yuan Shan said.

Saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Dugu Ruolan was the most reluctant, but things still had to be done.

"Yuan servant's ship is ready and ready to go." Tian Yuan came over and said in person, the current situation may take a long time if we don't talk about it.

"Let's go." Yuan Shan said.

On the Satisfaction, continue southward.

Yuan Shan was idle in the ship building, and he felt quite tired after today's tossing. If there were no policemen and Yuezhou soldiers and horses to stop him, those businessmen who were enthusiastic would upload it with him to Lingnan.

The speed of the two treasure ships was very slow, because they were fully loaded, and the most loaded thing on the ship was food, which was raised in these and various state capitals near Yuezhou. There is no shortage of food in the south, but it is also divided into places. For example, the current food resources in Lingnan cannot meet people's needs, otherwise there would not be frequent conflicts between their tribes.

Chapter 756 Pirates

Life on the ship was very boring. In the ship building, Yuan Shan, Yan Bei and Xue Rengui were landlords every day, and it was extremely boring.

Caiyi boiled water and made tea, while Du Qianyu practiced dancing and wielding swords on the deck.

Hundreds of people enjoy the sea view on the boat every day, blowing the sea breeze, and it’s almost time to arrive in Fuzhou after such a journey. It’s not the first time that Satisfaction has come, so they are very familiar with this sea route.

In the waters of Fuzhou, a fleet of twenty warships is wandering. These people are none other than pirates.

The main ship of the twenty warships is a medium-sized ship, and the rest are medium-sized ships with relatively low prices.

The main ship's ship tower is very beautifully carved, and various flags are planted on the ship, which looks extraordinarily chaotic.

The three people standing on the deck were all in piercing armor, and the sailors on the ship were all armed with long and short weapons.

"Third brother, it's been a month since we came out and we haven't seen the huge cargo ship you mentioned. Maybe we have to wait for the ports in various states to find it." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man named Lin Xing. He's the leader of the pirates.
