"I plan to buy another piece of land in the Northwest and then raise cattle and sheep."
Why does Master Zhao raise cattle and sheep?
"Of course, it's for the people of Tokyo!"
Ye Chong and Li Qiu'e were truly taken aback by his words.
Eating mutton is fine, but eating beef is illegal!
The imperial court forbids the consumption of beef!
Zhao Huan said mysteriously, "I have a friend who is an official in the court. He privately told me that the beef policy will definitely be adjusted within five years!"
Ye Chong asked in surprise, "Could it be that the imperial court would allow the consumption of beef?"
Zhao Huan nodded, adopting a businessman's demeanor: "We'll buy land now and start raising cattle and sheep. In five years, our numbers will be considerable, and that's when we'll make a fortune."
The shock on Ye Chong and Li Qiu'e's faces was beyond words.
So that's how you make money—by following the policies of the imperial court.
If Zhao Guanren's news is true, then whoever seizes this opportunity will make a fortune.
Because the beef is delicious!
As for how delicious the beef is, how do they know that?
This is a consensus, even though many people have never eaten it in their lives, they all know about it.
Once beef is openly sold on the street, many people will line up to buy it!
But Ye Chong thought for a moment and said, "The Northwest is too far away. We will have to transport cattle and sheep here, which will definitely cost a lot."
"In recent years, the imperial court has been building cement roads on a large scale and has even begun to upgrade steam locomotives. I heard that they have started building railway steam locomotives! In addition, the canal transport is becoming more and more efficient, so there is no need to worry about transportation."
Li Qiu'e said, "We can raise cattle in Jingji Road, so why don't we raise cattle and sheep in Jingji Road?"
Zhao Huan shook his head: "There isn't enough grass here to support it. Besides, the capital region is mainly for farming, and the court will restrict the scope of animal husbandry. I want to buy a large tract of grassland there. If we're going to do it, we'll do it on the biggest scale!"
Li Qiu'e was still worried: "If we don't choose the one that's closer, someone else will definitely choose it."
"Let them choose. They raise 100 head of cattle in five years, but we raise 10,000 head in five years! They sell for 100 coins per jin, we sell for 50 coins per jin, because our supply is large enough!"
Li Qiu'e was completely defeated by Zhao Huan's "If I'm going to do something, I'll do it the biggest" mentality.
This Mr. Zhao spoke with an air of grandeur, looked down on the little thing, was generous with his money, and spoke astonishingly.
It seems they come from a very influential family; someone in their family must be a high-ranking official in the imperial court.
"This matter is known only to the two of you. Do not reveal it to others for the time being. If anyone asks why we raise cattle, just say that we sell them to farmers for farming."
