Chapter 0856 prepare for the famine(2/2)
It is foreseeable that with Feng Yong taking office as the governor of Liangzhou, the demand for beeswax will increase dramatically.
After all, if you are used to printing by hand, who would want to copy it by hand?
Not only is it prone to errors and omissions, but the most critical factor is that it is not efficient.
Before Amei got the handmade mimeograph machine, it had to be copied one by one from the principal's office to the county, then from the county to the township, and finally from the township to the pavilion and the bureau.
If there is a mistake in the county, it is not impossible that the lowest pavilion and li will have the opposite policy.
With manual printing, you only need to copy one copy and you can print hundreds of copies directly.
War is fought not only on national strength and resources, but also on mobilization efficiency, organizational capabilities, etc.
King Feng Gui defeated Cao Da Sima. In addition to relying on surprise and advanced military units, the officers and soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion withstood the huge pressure in the early stage with their strong organizational skills, which was also an extremely important factor.
Therefore, beeswax can also be regarded as a war preparation material.
If there are any major festivals or important dinners in the Principal's Mansion, they will look for a place to light up a few candles.
I usually light an oil lamp.
The Feng family is not rich either!
Even the young ladies of the Zhang family, who used to be able to show off their wealth with candles made of beeswax, now have to light tung oil lamps.
The young lady of the Zhang family must be dissatisfied with the decline in her quality of life, so she will work hard to increase the scale of beekeeping.
Li Tong didn't know if he felt the sun was too bright, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Back to Mrs. Zhang, although some new bee colonies have been expanded this year, the bees were attacked by insect pests a month ago, so, so..."
When Zhang Xingyi heard this, his face darkened.
Unsatisfactory guy!
It doesn’t make me look good at all!
No future!
…
Feng Junhou, on the other hand, knew that the risks of breeding were very high and beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even ordinary wealthy families could only breed in free range.
Immediately, he quickly smoothed things over, "Natural disasters and pest disasters are beyond human control. I can't blame you entirely for this, but you need to be more careful in the future and pay attention to the surroundings of the beehive."
Li Tong responded quickly: "Yes, yes, I understand. After I go back, I will personally arrange it and take the lead in inspecting all the beehives."
Today, Li Langjun has a happy family, a happy life, and some small power in his hands. He can be regarded as a decent person.
Not to mention all the things he has experienced in the past, he cherishes his little life now, how can he dare to be a little bit jealous?
Zhang Xingyi snorted, but it was hard to say anything else.
Feng Yong asked some more questions about breeding under the control of Xiaowei Mansion. After understanding the situation and giving some instructions, he let Li Tong and his wife go down.
"Okay, Li Tong has done a pretty good job, there is no need to be so angry."
When Feng Junhou saw that Mrs. Zhang was still unhappy, he spoke.
At least in terms of meat supply, there is no shortage in Xiaowei Mansion, and Li Tong can be regarded as having contributed a lot.
"What's not bad? If I can't even light a candle at night, does that mean it's not bad?"
The young lady of the Zhang family said unreasonably.
"Let's be reasonable. Who doesn't know that at least half of the man's honey is in the hands of the Zhang family's young lady?"
Feng Junhou avoided talking about beeswax, but came up with a trick to avoid the truth:
"This honey is more expensive than brown sugar. Just for the supply of honey, I don't know how many people owe you favors."
"Not to mention the income from honey, how many big men have more wealth than you? Are you still not satisfied?"
This rainbow fart was photographed so well that Mrs. Zhang finally had a look of pride on her face, "I earned it with my own skills!"
Then he glanced sideways at Feng Junhou, "There are indeed not many people who are richer than me, but among the people around me, which one is not richer than me?"
Feng Junhou coughed and said with a straight face: "Nonsense! At most, there is only one person who can compare with you!"
It's okay if Feng Junhou didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Zhang Xingyi became furious. She gritted her teeth:
"Why should I compare with others? I just want to compare with her!"
"Sister, forget it, let's not compete. We can't compete..."
"No!" Zhang Xingyi glared at Feng Junhou angrily, "No coward! If you don't help me, I will find a way on my own. One day, I will definitely surpass her!"
Feng Junhou pretended not to hear.
Several women in the Feng family have their own spheres of influence.
Li Mu controls Nanxiang's economic lifeline, and she provides at least half of the Feng Mansion's cash flow.
Although Amei seems to be very low-key, she is addicted to all kinds of knowledge and has an extremely important influence on various equipment used in all aspects of the captain's mansion.
At the same time, she is also responsible for training the engineers needed by Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau. If Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau really takes shape in the future, she will be the actual founder.
As for the wife of the Feng family, let alone that.
Because the Zhang family’s young lady’s target has always been General Guan.
It’s just that General Guan is in control of the Feng Mansion. If Mrs. Zhang wants to compete with General Guan, she means competing with the entire Feng Mansion...
Feng Junhou supported her courage, but was not optimistic about her struggle.
Alas, hope is too slim...
"Siniang, it's too hot. Let's go down first. I'll accompany you to the river to see the scenery."
Feng Junhou coaxed, "Maybe I'll cook tonight and make you a dish."
"I want to eat tofu!"
It is probably that the conversation about beans just now made the Zhang family feel something, so she made such a request.
"No problem, what kind of tofu do you want to eat? Mapo tofu or homemade tofu?"
