"Dongshan is so vast. If we can enclose more land and raise more chickens, the annual output of chickens and eggs will be an extremely terrifying number!"
"However, buying chickens does cost money, and the imperial court cannot afford so much money all at once. If you officials help, Dongshan chicken farming can be scaled up in a short period of time!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
An egg costs three cents, but a chicken can easily cost thirty cents, and a chick can be sold for ten cents each!
People of this era did not master the technology to hatch eggs, so they could only rely on hens to incubate them!
He has more than 10 million eggs in his hands. If he hatches them and sells them to the Ministry of Revenue, he will definitely make a fortune!
"Your Majesty! Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right. This Dongshan chicken farming project does require a large amount of money. We are willing to invest!"
The officials spoke one after another, their faces full of smiles when they looked at Qin Yu.
Although Li Wei did not want to share the profits of Dongshan Chicken Farming with these people, he could not go against so many people at the same time, so he could only remain silent.
Emperor Liang sensed something was wrong. He had the feeling that Qin Yu had done all this on purpose. This rebellious son, could he be up to some bad idea again?
"Since Yu'er has voluntarily given up Dongshan and also thought of the lucrative chicken farming business in Dongshan, which is another great achievement, I have decided to grant Yu'er a fiefdom!"
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.
In Daliang, all princes have fiefs. However, once a prince is granted a fief, he must live there. However, it is different for the crown prince.
When the prince is granted a fiefdom, it actually means an extra source of income. After all, all the income from the fiefdom belongs to the prince!
Moreover, none of the current princes has obtained a fiefdom!
Qin Mang's face was extremely gloomy. His mother was deeply favored by Emperor Liang. If he wanted a fiefdom, he would have been granted it long ago, and it would have been the best fiefdom!
However, that also meant that he would leave the center of power and lose the qualifications to compete for the position of crown prince. Therefore, he kept dragging his feet and did not ask for the fiefdom!
But if Qin Yu gets the fiefdom first, it will undoubtedly increase Qin Yu's strength. After all, if the officials in the fiefdom want to have a good life, they can only obey Qin Yu.
"Your Majesty! My sixth brother will soon be stationed at the border to guard it. Granting him a fiefdom now will be of little use. Instead, it will leave the fiefdom unattended. Please reconsider!"
Qin Mang said hurriedly.
Shangguan Xiong would not just sit there and watch Qin Yu get the fiefdom!
Over the past few days, Shangguan Xiong has figured out why Qin Yu wants to go to the border. He is afraid that he will encounter danger if he stays in Kyoto. But if he is allowed to obtain a fiefdom, the situation will be reversed in an instant, and then Qin Yu may not want to go to the border!
"Your Majesty! What His Royal Highness Qin Mang said makes sense. Once a prince receives a fiefdom, he must live there. Although the crown prince doesn't need to go there, the crown prince's fiefdom is usually not too far from the capital, which makes it easier to manage!"
"If the prince goes to the border, doesn't that mean that his fiefdom must be very close to the border? And the prince's fiefdom is in the bitter cold of the border. This doesn't sound right at all!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty! We second the motion!"
Civil and military officials all seconded the proposal.
Emperor Liang's expression instantly darkened to the extreme. He knew exactly why these people were preventing Qin Yu from obtaining his fiefdom. Just as he was about to scold them, Qin Yu spoke up, "Father! I think what the Prime Minister said makes sense. Since I'm going to the border, this fiefdom must also be there!"
"The first checkpoint on the Xiongnu border that Daliang defends is Fengdu City. I am willing to use Fengdu City as a starting point and take the entire Xiongnu border as my fiefdom!"
"This way, I can guard the border for you, my father, and prevent the Xiongnu barbarians from even setting foot on our Daliang territory!"
Ah!
