"Raising silkworms? How much money can you make from this..."
Jin Yunen said disdainfully.
"Fifty million catties per year, the profit is conservatively estimated to be around five million taels of silver."
Qin Yu said.
what!
A profit of five million taels of silver every year!
Jin Yunen was completely shocked!
You know, the Xiongnu Kingdom’s annual tax revenue was not that much!
"Are you sure you can make such a high profit in a year? Besides, isn't silk used to make cloth? Are you sure Daliang can consume so much silk every year?"
Jin Yunen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Silk is not as durable as animal skins, therefore, only nobles in the Xiongnu would wear it!
Although many people in Daliang wear silk, this item is so expensive, how many people in Daliang can afford it? It is hard to imagine that Qin Yu can consume 50 million kilograms of silk every year!
How could she know that Qin Yu didn't care at all whether he could eat it or not, because he had someone to support him anyway!
"Don't worry about whether I can eat it or not. Just tell me if you want to do this business. To meet the demand for so much silk, you'll need to plant mulberry trees in at least an entire state!"
"Moreover, planting mulberry trees will also bring many benefits to your Xiongnu nation. The Xiongnu nation has abundant water and grass, but it is often windy and rainy. Strictly speaking, the climate is not suitable for human habitation!"
"The Xiongnu simply lived here for a long time and adapted to the climate. Planting more mulberry trees can also change the Xiongnu's geological environment!"
"Let the Xiongnu grasslands be reclaimed into fertile fields and used to grow crops one day!"
Qin Yu said.
Jin Yunen was stunned by the promise Qin Yu made!
"Don't lie to me! If the Xiongnu could also grow food, then our national strength would surely become even stronger!"
Jin Yunen said excitedly.
Although the grassland is rich in water and grass, it is not suitable for growing crops. If we only raise cattle and sheep, it will be difficult to feed too many people!
Therefore, nomadic peoples are ethnic minorities!
Otherwise, the population of the territories occupied by the Xiongnu and the Turks would not be much less than that of Daliang!
"Of course. When has this prince ever lied to you?"
Qin Yu said.
"Hmph! I bet you wouldn't dare, but it's you who needs the silk, not me. So, I've done you a huge favor. How are you going to repay me?"
Jin Yunen said proudly, as if she had Qin Yu under control.
Qin Yu was speechless. He suddenly realized that Jin Yunen was so silly and cute that he even felt a little distressed!
Planting mulberry trees is indeed beneficial to the Huns, but the benefits to him are even greater!
Because sooner or later he would have to defeat the Huns, and if the Huns continued to maintain a grassland climate, it would be difficult to govern them after he conquered them. He also had to find a way to plant trees and change the environment here.
Therefore, letting Kim Yun-eun plant mulberry trees in advance is to reduce his own troubles.
"Alright! Tell me how you want me to repay you!"
Qin Yu said, looking at Jin Yunen with an indescribable doting look.
The maids beside her were stunned. Who was this man? Why was he chatting so happily with the princess? She had never seen the princess so happy before. Moreover, why did this man look at the princess with eyes full of doting?
And the princess seems to enjoy this pampering, how is this possible!
Is this still the cold and aloof princess?
"Princess! Aren't we going to the palace?"
The maid reminded softly.
Only then did Jin Yunen realize that she had to go to the palace to talk to her father!
