Chapter 43 Evil Recipe: The Prince Raises Pigs

"Doctor Fan wants some special reward!" Lu Dafang changed his mind, and quietly dug another hole for Fan Zheng.

Su Zhe and Fan Chunren's mind suddenly jumped. Could it be that Fan Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to persuade the court to reform the law? After all, he has become a forensic doctor, and now he is in the palace, plus he is young and energetic, I am afraid that this is really possible.

Empress Dowager Gao frowned when she heard the words, she suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said, "What kind of reward does Miracle Doctor Fan want, just tell me."

Fan Zheng didn't seem to see the expressions of Empress Dowager Gao and the others, and said: "The grassroots don't want the Empress Dowager to grant a reward, but want His Royal Highness King Shen to pay the consultation fee himself."

"Let Shen Wang pay for his own consultation?" Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to make such a weird request.

Zhao Bi immediately patted his chest and said proudly: "Brother Fan, don't worry, although Xiao Wang doesn't have a fief, he still can afford this little consultation fee."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Fan doesn't want His Royal Highness Shen Wang's money, but wants Shen Wang to go down and do something."

Zhao Yu looked at Fan Zheng in puzzlement. He had never seen a doctor who didn't ask for money, but let people handle things. He immediately said without hesitation: "Although Miracle Doctor Fan orders, as long as the king can do what he can, he will definitely not do it." Will shirk."

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Fan wants His Royal Highness Shen to raise pigs so he can pay for the consultation fee."

"Okay..." Zhao Bi was about to agree, but suddenly stood there, looking sideways at Fan Zheng.

"what!"

Immediately, Empress Dowager Gao and the others couldn't help but swayed and nearly fell down.

"Fan Zhengmo wants to take the credit and be proud, and offend the next one. What is His Royal Highness Shen's status, how can he go to raise pigs." Lu Dafang reprimanded him. He is a conservative, and he usually acts rigidly. .

"Evil prescription, this boy Fan Zheng really came up with an evil prescription again!" Fan Chunren was furious. Although Fan Zheng's three prescriptions for treating eye diseases were novel, they were within the normal range. He just breathed a sigh of relief when Fan Zheng's evil prescription came. up.

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor, is famous as Fang Xie!"

Everyone suddenly remembered the rumors about Fan Zheng in Kaifeng City, but when the real evil prescription appeared in front of them, they realized how weird and evil Fan Zheng's prescription was.

Zhao Yu stammered: "Miraculous Physician Fan has the grace to heal me, and I shouldn't shirk it. It's just about raising pigs..."

As Zhao Bi was talking, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In the Song Dynasty, pigs were cheap meat, just because many pigs were fed on feces. If he went to raise pigs, his reputation would be completely ruined.

"No, how decent is it for the prince to raise pigs!" Empress Dowager Gao said angrily.

Fan Zheng sighed and said, "His Royal Highness King Shen knows that apart from His Highness, there are countless people in Song Dynasty suffering from eye diseases!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Bi asked in surprise.

"Fan Zheng, don't scare me. I don't know how many people in Song Dynasty suffer from eye diseases." Lu Dafang frowned.

Fan Zheng sarcastically said: "That's because Mr. Lu is located in the most prosperous city of Kaifeng. He has a huge monthly salary and rich clothes and food every day. However, in various places in the Song Dynasty, there are countless people who don't have enough to eat and wear, and are hungry all day long. I can't eat a bite of meat for a year."

Lu Dafang was displeased. Fan Zheng ridiculed his dignified prime minister for not understanding the sufferings of the people. He said proudly: "This old man is dedicated to the Song Dynasty and dare not slack off. Besides, what does lack of meat have to do with eye diseases!"

Fan Zheng said coldly: "It's okay not to eat meat for a day, and it's okay not to eat meat for a month. If you don't eat meat for a year, there will be serious problems. The most obvious symptom is night blindness, commonly known as bird blindness!"

"Night blindness? What kind of disease is this?" Su Zhe asked puzzled.

Fan Zheng explained: "Night blindness means that there is no problem with daytime vision, but at night or in a dimly lit environment, it is difficult to see clearly and move, just like a sparrow blindfolded. There are countless people in Song Dynasty who suffer from night blindness. It's the lack of meat."

"There is such a thing?" Empress Dowager Gao asked in surprise.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded and said: "When the Chinese Medicine Hospital established the ophthalmology department, it was discovered that many people suffer from night blindness. Fan was puzzled because there were also many people who did not have this disease. Finally, after comparison, Fan found that almost all people with night blindness had night blindness. They are all poor people at the lowest level, and people with better family backgrounds rarely suffer from this disease. Finally, after comparison, Fan finally determined the cause, which is that year-round lack of meat will cause night blindness."

"Kaifeng City is a place of wealth in the world. Nearly half of the people still suffer from night blindness, and the people in other parts of the world may suffer from night blindness."

Lu Dafang said: "You also said that night blindness has no effect during the day, so it shouldn't cause any harm, it's just a waste of lamp oil!"

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "No, night blindness is very harmful. For example, most of my soldiers in the Song Dynasty came from poor people, and many of them suffered from night blindness. Liao and Xixia are nomadic peoples, and there is no shortage of meat. Soldiers lack meat all the year round, not to mention their frail health, plus the danger of night blindness, if we fight at night, our soldiers of the Song Dynasty may fall into a disadvantage."

Empress Dowager Gao's face moved again. Ordinary people suffer from night blindness. It is nothing more than spending a little more lamp oil. If it endangers the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, it is not a trivial matter.

Fan Chunren clasped his hands and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the veteran thinks that this matter is not a trivial matter, and this hidden danger should be completely resolved, so that our soldiers of the Song Dynasty can remain invincible."

"Decree to thoroughly investigate night blindness in the army." Empress Dowager Gao immediately ordered, and Liang Weijian immediately took the order and left.

"So you asked me to raise pigs for the army to use as meat?" Shen Wang Zhao Yu heard that raising pigs was useful for the country, and reduced some conflicts.

Su Zhe frowned and said, "Even if there is a lack of meat, there is no need for His Royal Highness to raise lowly pigs! You can also raise sheep, cows, chickens, ducks and geese!"

After all, if a prince goes to raise pigs, it is indeed notorious to spread the word.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "No, the breeding cycle of sheep and cattle is long, and the birth rate is low. Chickens, ducks, and geese are too small to allow the people in the world to eat meat. Only pigs are the most suitable, and pigs can breed twice a year. Three times, a litter can give birth to more than ten piglets, and the weight can reach two to three hundred catties a year, which is the best meat livestock."

The three prime ministers are all important ministers of the country, after a little calculation, they suddenly found that what Fan Zheng said was true, pigs are the best meat supply.

"Since raising pigs has such an advantage, why are there so few folk raising pigs?" Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, the most common meat in the Song Dynasty was mutton, which is why Sun Yang Zhengdian became the number one restaurant in Kaifeng.

Lu Dafang took the opportunity and said: "I will report to the Empress Dowager that pork smells bad, but it is cheap meat, and very few people eat pork."

To put it bluntly, the rich don’t eat pork, and the poor can’t afford it.

Fan Zheng clasped his hands and said: "These problems are not difficult. Fan recently read through the Qingnangjing of the genius doctor Hua Tuo and found his prescription for gelding cattle and sheep. It can solve the problem of the smell of pork, as for the folk prejudice that pigs eat excrement and grow up, they are against pork, this is the real reason why Fan asked His Royal Highness Shen Wang to raise pigs."

It dawned on everyone that if the prince took the lead in raising pigs, it would surely drive the people all over the world to raise pigs. Now the most critical step is to let Shen Wang Zhao Bi accept the matter of raising pigs.

Fan Zheng continued: "The pigs raised by His Royal Highness King Shen naturally cannot be fed like that, but need to be fed with wheat bran and grass. Fan has some friendship with the restaurant in Kaifeng City, so he can contact the restaurant in Kaifeng City to get the leftovers. Collect them and use them to feed domestic pigs."

Only then did King Shen and Zhao Bi's expression soften a little. After all, a prince who feeds pigs that eat shit really can't afford to lose this person.

"His Royal Highness King Shen personally takes the lead in raising pigs, so that the world can change the prejudice that pork is cheap meat. Once pork sells well, the number of private households raising pigs will suddenly increase. In this way, people all over the world will be driven to raise pigs, and the supply of pork will increase. , the symptoms of night blindness will definitely be greatly reduced.”

"At the same time, Fan will also ask the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to open a veterinary department, which will focus on livestock diseases."

........................

Following Fan Zheng's methodical presentation of the big business of raising pigs, everyone looked at Fan Zheng no longer with the contempt they had before.

Although the evil prescription is evil, it has miraculous effects. Fan Zheng, a doctor, has the ambition to let the world eat meat, and it is very likely to achieve it. What kind of mind will this be.

"Okay, this king agrees!" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness Shen is righteous. Those who hold salaries for everyone should not be caught in the wind and snow; those who open the way for freedom should not be trapped in thorns. Today, His Royal Highness Shen's eye disease can be cured, but it can be cured. It is truly a blessing for the world to think about the people suffering from eye diseases. The Chinese Medicine Hospital will continue to study ophthalmology and try to cure His Highness' eye diseases as much as possible."

"Those who hold salaries for everyone should not let them be strangled in the wind and snow; those who open the way for freedom should not be trapped in thorns." Zhao Bi loves to read books very much. After reading these two sentences carefully, he can't help being deeply touched. There is no more conflict about pigs.

The three prime ministers took a deep look at Fan Zheng. Fan Zheng was so talented that he wrote two half-century-old masterpieces consecutively. It was said that the world lamented that he abandoned his writing to pursue medicine. At first they were skeptical, but now they heard Fan Zheng's words, Only then did he discover that Fan Zhengfei not only has amazing medical skills, but also extraordinary talent.

"This son is quite like Fan Xianggong, but it's a pity that he studied medicine!" A stalwart figure flashed in everyone's minds.

Fan Chunren suddenly looked lonely, Fan Zheng has this talent, if he enters politics, the Fan family may continue to be glorious for a hundred years, it's a pity...

However, there is nothing wrong with being a doctor. Fan Zheng can achieve such achievements in a doctor's family at a young age, and he is restricted everywhere in the officialdom. Perhaps it is not so convenient.
