Chapter 585: Canned food in zhao country

"Flower and Full Moon" sold out all Shangwen copies on the same day at the price of one and a half records. Even if it is sold out. People are still gathered around for a long time and don't want to disperse.

This kind of music from folk art that can greatly express the joy of folk has attracted attention from all parties. It has also been recognized by the public. People think that this is the first kind of music that can greatly express themselves.

"A Flower and a Full Moon" is not the atmosphere and soothing of court music, but an extremely simple folk joy. This kind of music quality of focusing on the people and despising the monarch immediately moved everyone. The demand for phonographs in the city of Xianyang began to exceed demand, and people and Shang Wen negotiated in time to purchase a part of music patents. The people of Qin are very law-abiding. They know that a technology requires patent fees. They believe that this music is also a kind of technology. So they voluntarily paid Shangwen's patent fees and began to copy records on a large scale. For a time, the streets of Xianyang were filled with joy of happiness and joy in life.

The cold wave still goes south from time to time, but it adds a new year celebration to Xianyang. Major stores have also played "Flowers and Full Moon" to attract customers, and people often enter the appreciation because of music. Xianyang has a voice. Become lively.

The people of Qin are enjoying music, but the people of Zhao are enjoying "food". A large-scale promotion campaign for simple canned food called "delicious beef" has been launched. This simple canned food only sells for five cents. And his weight is about the same as a pound of beef. The reason why this canned beef can be so cheap is that they increase the starch content in the can. Reduced the use of meat. So the price will drop from ten to five cents.

Qin's manufacturers and merchants began to focus on sales performance. They found that Zhao Guo is an emerging market. Before the economic cooperation between Qin State, Zhao Min lived very hard, and after the economic cooperation between Qin and Zhao. Zhao Ren began to have some savings. Before, they had even had a problem with eating. These are all huge changes made by Zhao's labor export and the start of coal mines.

The export of labor services sent back a large amount of foreign exchange. These foreign exchanges made Zhao Min rich in his pocket. It stands to reason that if you have money, you should spend it. However, the sales performance of the merchants of Qin State, except for the large cities in Handan and Yunzhong, was not satisfactory in the beginning. Qin people should use their brains just like their technical researchers. They went down to visit and quickly understood the problem.

Zhao Minqiang was scared. I am really afraid of being poor. As soon as they have money, in addition to paying a 10% tax, all the remaining money is used to buy grain and hide it. This practice caused Qin's grain, wheat, and flour to begin to lean towards these areas on a large scale. As for meat, no one would spend a penny to buy it except in a big city like Handan. Although there are only ten cents, ten cents are compared with food such as flour. The latter is still in great demand.

As a result, meat merchants in Qin State began to make ideas around prices. First, they developed a low-cost canned beef. The cost of this canned food is controlled by about one cent. Through transportation, there is half the transportation cost, plus warehousing and sales. The cost is strictly controlled within two cents. In order to quickly open up the emerging market of Zhao State, the businessmen have worked hard. They began to launch large-scale promotional activities. Convene Zhao Guoren's own agents and ask them to use ox carts to pull cans and sell them to Zhao people at a uniform price. Whoever buys more will earn more. The Qin people gave them half of the profit.

Qin people's large-scale sales promotion, Zhao Guo's agents strongly shouted. Let this kind of canned food sales performance began to rise steadily.

Maybe it is because Zhao Ren has stored enough food. The cellars of every household are full of grains, and people are beginning to pay attention to the supplement of other foods. Maybe they are going out to improve the food or they are still curious. In short, some Zhao people started to buy this cheap canned food.

People learned from the merchants to open the tins and pour out the beef. Although the Qin people increased the starch content, the long-lost meaty smell made Zhao couldn't help but touch the inside of the can with his hands and put it on his tongue. The children always rushed to take the can because there was a meaty smell in it. The tin box has become children's new toy and show off capital.

With meat, Zhao people want to have a good meal. Therefore, people imitated the water package pavilion set up by the Qin people in Handan. That is, dumplings, they chopped beef and radish mixed together to make a paste, and then use the mixed flour to roll into a dough wrapper. Cook in a pot. The smell of dumplings attracted neighbors, and people began to buy this canned food after trying each other. After hearing that this kind of food can be stored for three months, the bold Zhao Ren actually bought a lot of it in one go.

Gradually others started to do the same. As a result, Qin's canned food sales began to increase significantly. Paper cans is the first step that opened Zhao's consumption. It is also the first time that Zhao has started eating beef on a large scale. Meat began to enter Zhao's rice bowl. Although there is only one or two chances to eat meat in a month. But this is for them. Very satisfied.

In order to meet the demand for meat. Zhao began to make a large-scale effort to make money. The opening of coal mines began to solve the labor problem. Some of the soldiers who had retired from the disarmament went into coal mines to mine coal. The foreign transportation of coal also caused many people to drove ox carts to Langmeng County of Qin State because of the difficult road. The Qin people did not want to leave. Qin's engineers are stepping up to rebuild the road. This gives these Zhao people a chance to find employment. They drove an ox cart and began to transport coal out of the country. It's not just coal. There are iron ingots.

Coal and iron are always found together. Zhao Guo also started large-scale iron smelting, and coal increased the furnace temperature. It is no longer a big problem to let iron smelt. But their own demand is not very strong, they are used to make weapons and agricultural tools. The Qin State used it to continue processing and smelting steel, and then processing it into various mechanical parts and building materials.

In this way, the Zhao people mobilized the whole country. The women began to gather together to work in Qin. The men either went out to fight, or transported coal and iron ingots. Although hard, people's quality of life is improving. And this kind of life is much faster than farming. Make money fast. Eat well. Life is really hopeful.

Zhao's life has started. It's just the beginning. To change, Zhao people must change many things. Such as taxes. Zhao's 10% tax is only temporary, floating, and unstable. Wang Zhao's will can break this lower tax at any time.
