Chapter 282 Promoting Duck Raising

Zhongshuling and the Taifu were sitting in a tea room.Zhong Shuling put a porcelain vase in front of the Taifu, and said: "My wife and I have tried many times, and we finally got something."

"What's in here?"

"Your Majesty Tai Tu will know when you look at it."

The Taifu pulled out the cork, poured out some in his hand, and looked closer, looking at Zhongshuling in surprise.

Zhongshu Ling smiled: "Do you like it?"

"It's more than liking." Tai Tu said with a serious face, "How did you do it?"

Zhong Shuling pushed a piece of paper in front of him.He opened it and saw that it was petrified.

Zhongshuling looked at the stone statue quietly.

Tai Tu took a deep breath: "Where did this come from?"

"It's up to Master Yan how to say it. The credit belongs to Master Yan."

The Tai Tuo sneered: "You gave such a shocking feat to a deadly enemy?"

"This rival has more weight." Zhong Shuling smiled lightly.

Tai Tu leaned on the back of the chair: "As soon as this white sugar comes out, the contradiction between you and me seems to be more obvious."

"That's good." Zhong Shuling began to pour tea.

"Do you have a semi-finished product?" Taifu asked.

Zhong Shuling brought up another bag, which contained candies of various colors.

"I will enter the palace immediately." The Tai Tuo stood up without drinking tea, "You sit for a while before leaving."

Zhong Shuling glanced at him: "Go back to the mansion first. Can the mansion usually use yellow mud?"

"There should be some." Tai Tu was not sure.

"Bring some back directly, and think about something casually." Zhong Shuling brought back the bottle of sugar.

"Your son has fired so many bricks, I'll try to burn bricks and pots." The master opened the door and left.

Zhongshuling sighed heavily.

The guard Cang Lin walked in: "Master Taifu walked in a concealed manner, so he should not be discovered."

Zhong Shuling nodded slightly: "The prince should go out, too?"

"Soon, he and the second prince will go out to see the planting of sweet potatoes and millet. Harvest a season of millet first, so that the people can fill their stomachs."

Zhongshu Ling sat for a while and left.

People all over the capital and the suburbs have heard the news: Wang's egg yolk cakes need a lot of duck eggs. If there are enough duck eggs, the price of egg yolk cakes can be reduced and the quantity can be increased.

People who don't have ducks ask around where they can buy ducks and raise them.The duck breeders were overjoyed, and regarded the ducks at home as treasures, and tried every means to make the ducks eat more live food and lay more eggs.

However, there are too few ducks in the suburbs of Beijing. If the duck eggs are sold, the ducklings cannot be hatched. If the ducklings are kept for hatching, there are no duck eggs to sell for the time being. It is a dilemma.

On this day, many people heard a news: a big ship is coming, and there are many ducks on board.

The pier was surrounded by water.

The rumors were true, some ducks fluttered down from the boat and quickly lined up again.

Many people have never seen ducks before, and they feel very strange when they look at ducks: they have flat beaks, they walk swaying, and they are proud that they can still walk in line.The onlookers are pointing and pointing, so lively.

Those ducks are very strong and smooth at first glance, and many people want to buy them.

"These ducks are two or three years old. The female ducks have already started to lay eggs. You can lay eggs when you buy them home. After laying eggs, it is best to hatch a brood of ducklings before you start selling duck eggs. Ducks eat grass, vegetables, and insects. Bran, rice grains, and leftovers..." Awen first introduced duck breeding.

Everyone understood, and they all felt that they could raise ducks well.Some people began to ask the price.

"The two-year duck has [-] Wen, and the three-year duck has [-] Wen. It's easy to tell the difference." Ah Wen said loudly.

Everyone buzzed and discussed for a while, and many people paid for it.

The villagers who came with them were very experienced in catching ducks. They used nets to pack them into cages.

There were also some ducks that refused to be obedient and were caught, and flew over people's heads, causing many people to scream.

Mo Jian and the others flew up to catch the ducks, and cheers and applause resounded on the field, which was very lively.

Two thousand ducks were sold on the pier.Next is a thousand ducklings, each of which only costs five yuan.Ducklings are also sold out.

The busy villagers were all stunned there.

This business is so easy to do, people in the capital are like ducks who don't want money.

They have gained a lot of experience, and they can talk about the big business of thousands of ducks for a few days when they go home.

Listening to the report, the emperor gritted his teeth.

Zhongshu Ling was called over again.

"Whose idea was it to sell the ducks to the capital? To be honest." The emperor looked serious.

Zhongshu Ling said without hesitation, "The Lord of Changping Township has raised many ducks."

"She likes raising ducks so much?"

"That's right, she likes to eat duck meat and duck eggs, and now the total number of ducks in Changping Township has officially exceeded [-]!" Zhong Shuling said proudly.

"You want to eat [-] ducks? Get to the point."

"The key point is to eat. There are duck restaurants, and salted duck eggs are the kind in egg yolk crisps. The most important thing is that ducks are very good at eating locusts. As long as there are many ducks in a village, the plague of locusts will not become a disaster. "

The emperor was silent.

The locust plague, what a tragic experience.

The emperor pointed to the pen and ink: "Write down all the methods of exterminating locusts."

Zhong Shuling picked up the pen and wrote two pieces of paper in a profuse manner.

The emperor watched carefully.

"So, the locusts should be exterminated, can they be exterminated?" He looked at Zhongshuling.

"Pests that harm crops should be exterminated. There is no such thing as God's punishment. It's just that the locusts are huge in number and the eating speed is too fast. The people can't deal with it for a while, so they are afraid of locusts."

The emperor had to accept: "If you directly ask people to raise ducks, the people will not know why, so they may not be happy. Now that your egg yolks are crispy, raising ducks will become a good business. It's really wonderful."

An egg yolk crisp actually promoted the great cause of duck farming.

The emperor stared at Zhongshu Ling: "You old man, how lucky you are to have such an outstanding daughter-in-law."

"It was all done for the sage and for the common people." Zhong Shuling bowed deeply, "Everything she did in Changping Township was for the common people to have enough food and clothing, and to read and understand."

The emperor was silent again.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor commended two things: the master Taifu made white sugar;

The Taifu is already a Taifu, just reward some money.So what does Changping Township reward?
Shang Shuling stood up and said, "Although Changping Township is only a township, its area is not small. It is possible to upgrade it to a county, a county with a smaller area."

"Which Lord of the Township was promoted to the Lord of the County, or the Lord of the County?" the Minister of the Household Department asked.

"It's enough for the county king," Shang Shuling said.

Qi Liangyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, objected: "The method of exterminating locusts is only on paper, and has not achieved results. It is not appropriate to advance. She has received money to promote the great cause of duck breeding, and she does not need rewards."

Shang Shuling shook his head: "Give you two thousand coins to promote duck breeding, can you do this?"

Qi Liangyu was speechless.

"Raising ducks costs a lot of money and energy, and selling money is right. Can't the credit for promoting duck raising be lost just because the ducks are sold for money?"
