Another prince added, "Please explain more clearly, Fourth Prince. You need people to feed you, and you also need cattle and sheep, but herding also requires people!"
Yinzhen: "I asked some herders, and they said that herding does require people, but not the whole family. The women in the family can cook while the men herd the animals, so it doesn't interfere with their work."
“I intend to build workshops for each ethnic group, dedicated to making food. At that time, the workshops will buy beef and mutton and milk from herders at twice the current market price. Herders can also work in the workshops. As long as they don’t cheat or slack off, they can earn enough money to support their families. In addition to these, the workshops will also buy clean wool.”
Most people couldn't help but ponder after hearing this.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng, who was standing to the side, "Go and deliver the purchase price list I prepared to the princes."
Su Peisheng: "Yes, Master."
Su Peisheng delivered the acquisition price list to each of the princes' tables one by one.
Although it's called a price list, it contains more than just prices; it also includes several methods for handling wool.
Many princes took the price list and began to look through it. Most of them couldn't help but be tempted after reading it. If that were true, many fewer people would die in Mongolia every year.
After all, Mongolia is a place where resources are scarce. If the weather is normal, it's fine, but if the weather is really cold, cattle and sheep will freeze to death. Then the herders will lose their source of livelihood, and the mortality rate will increase.
According to the price list, as long as the herders are diligent, they can save up a sum of money every year, and they won't starve to death in a famine year.
"What do you princes think?"
No one gave a direct answer; they all said they needed to think about it.
Yinzhen was not surprised, after all, it concerned the livelihood of various departments, and if a decision was made hastily, he would suspect that there was a trick involved.
Next, Yinzhen entertained the princes.
Once they had eaten and drunk their fill, the banquet came to an end.
One after another, the Mongol princes left, but Daryachi, the prince of Khorchin, did not leave.
After everyone had left, Dari Achi walked up to Yinzhen.
"I have some questions for the Fourth Prince. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to ask?"
He looked at the Fifth Prince as he said this.
The Fifth Prince quickly said, "Fourth Brother, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now and will come to see you later."
Yinzhen nodded to the Fifth Prince: "Alright."
