Chapter 325 - 324 Dissatisfaction with You
Zhao Gang was greatly shaken after looking over the two industries directly managed by Ye Xinyan. Following that, he accompanied Cheung Wusi to get a general understanding of Qi Family Construction Business, examined the materials currently being prepared for constructing the cattle farm, and also led people to help the old master for two days.
The cattle farm and Dairy Products Store were directly managed by Ye Xinyan, and although these two industries belonged to His Highness Prince Yu, the stewards, workers, and craftsmen who worked in these industries respected Ye Xinyan a great deal. It was evident that Ye Xinyan held a pivotal position within these industries.
Take the cattle farm, for example, raising cattle was not a rare occurrence, but it was unusual to raise them on such a large scale, and particularly for the acquisition of cow’s milk which was unheard of.
After touring the cattle farm a couple of times, Zhao Gang sharply noticed that although the main objective of the cattle farm was to obtain cow’s milk, a couple of rounds inside made it clear that breeding calves was equally a definite purpose.
The few large breeding bulls in the cattle farm were exceptionally well-taken care of, their treatment was in no way inferior to the dairy cows. Their pens were even more spacious, and there were people designated to take them out to graze.
He also vaguely heard the steward instructing the workers, who were involved in miscellaneous tasks, to take the dairy cows whose milk production period had ended to mate. This indicated that the cattle farm’s purpose in raising cattle was not only for cow’s milk but also for breeding calves.
If they were to sell working cattle and produce dairy products simultaneously, not only would the dairy products be profitable, but the working cattle would also provide an income. Moreover, should there be an abundance of working cattle, the price would likely decrease, making them more affordable for more farmers, which would naturally be greatly beneficial to agriculture.
As an outsider, Zhao Gang saw that, although the current scale of the cattle farm wasn’t large, its strict management was comparable to military regulations—such that even if its scale were expanded several times, managing it would be effortless.
