Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 140 may change the Tang Dynasty!
"But now, I feel like I can kill a cow!"

"Not to mention the young men of our village, Your Majesty, if you see them, you will definitely say that they are stronger than the soldiers of our Tang army! All this is thanks to Boss Qin's pork strategy!"

"This pork is really good. I'm not lying to you. It's really good! And it tastes really good. It's very memorable!"

When my father-in-law said this, his tone was really full of pride.

So proud!

It seems like this pork is the best meat in the world!
But it is true that pork is one of the best meats in the world.

Li Shimin sighed softly.

Ever since he entered the village, he has been observing, and he knows that what Old Liu said is right, absolutely true.

These old people...
These children….
Can't fool anyone!

To see whether a village is rich or not, and what its status is, we should not look at the young people in the middle, but at the old people and children.

As long as the old people and children are in high spirits and full of energy, then this Zhuangzi must be right.

"call…."

Li Shimin let out a sigh of emotion and nodded.

You don’t know until you come and see it, and you’ll be shocked.

At Wangyun Inn, when he ate pork, he just thought it tasted good. As for the specific impact it had on people, he was not very clear.

but now!

The villagers appeared before his eyes one by one, extremely clearly and without doubt.

"Amazing! It's really amazing! This pork... is truly a great blessing for the world!"

Li Shimin couldn't control his shock.

"Yes, old man, these villagers, one by one, if you don't know them, you would think they are from the families of rich people and landlords. I have never seen such spirited people, never!"

Du Ruhui's eyes were also filled with deep horror.

He was the prime minister and was well aware of the situation of the people in the Tang Dynasty. They might not be in dire straits, but they were just barely able to get enough food.

Hey….
Those common people, when they were alive, were far inferior to the villagers in terms of physical fitness.

"This pork is really overbearing! If the people of our Tang Dynasty can eat pork, then... in a few years, in a dozen years, everyone will be like cattle. It's unimaginable!!"

Changsun Wuji said with deep emotion.

"This is a benchmark. If all the people of the Tang Dynasty are like this, then..."

Wei Zheng didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what the second half of his sentence was.

If the people of the Tang Dynasty were like this, the world would be peaceful and full of vitality, and it would surely be the pinnacle of all dynasties! !
Absolutely the pinnacle!!

Oh my God!
Master Qin, what on earth did you do? !

"Master Qin, this...hiss..." Cheng Yaojin took a breath of cold air, and the explosion in his eyes was shocking.

"Your Majesty, pork is the same as grain!!"

"Grain can fill the people's stomachs, and pork can make them as strong as cattle. Let's plant the seeds tomorrow... If we can make progress on both fronts, our Tang Dynasty... Gulp!"

Changsun Wuji's voice was trembling a little.

"The future of our Tang Dynasty is definitely unimaginable!"

Empress Changsun followed behind, holding little Sizi in her arms.

She listened to what Changsun Wuji and the others said, looked at the people in front of her, and the smile on her face never faded.

She smiled broadly.

As the Queen of the Tang Dynasty, what she wanted to see was for her children to grow up happily, safely and healthily.

Is Xiao Sizi in good health?

But Changle's health was not good, which was what Empress Changsun least wanted to see.

Now, with the strong emergence of pork, it seems that her dream of making Changle health better is slowly being realized.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What the dukes said is right. Your Majesty, please help us restore the reputation of pork and let the people know how good the pork from our Chu Palace is!"

Old Liu nodded repeatedly.

His head was about to fall off.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speak, the old man suddenly pointed forward.

"Your Majesty, it's just ahead. That's the pig farm."

The old man spoke very calmly.

Li Shimin was startled and looked up quickly.

At this time, they were almost walking from the west end of the village to the east end.

In front is a large open field, and in the field, a large yard is built.

The yard is very large and is surrounded by a wall.

I can't even see the end at a glance.

Li Shimin couldn't help but stop in his tracks, his eyes flickering in disbelief.

Is this the pig farm?

Is this the place where Master Qin raises pigs?

It was a little different from what he had thought before. He had originally thought that he would see large groups of pigs, like herds of cattle and sheep, running happily in the fields.

It turned out not to be.

It was actually kept in a pen in the yard.

And this yard is so big!
How many pigs are there in it?
Li Shimin pursed his chapped lips.

Changsun Wuji and the others' eyes flickered wildly and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

The old man glanced at the appearance of several people, smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, go in. It's not too late to be shocked by the scenery inside."

"His Highness said that the pork here is enough to supply the entire Chang'an City!!"

Li Shimin nodded, rubbed his hands, and strode forward.

The crowd followed closely behind.

The No. 1 pig farm in the Tang Dynasty!

When you walk to the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is this sign hanging on the gate.

Black text on a white background. Hanging vertically on one side.

"The No. 1 Pig Farm in the Tang Dynasty, this name is quite arrogant, and it goes against Mr. Qin's style of doing things. Hahaha, let's go in and take a look!"

Li Shimin smiled and walked in with some anticipation.

“Hehehe…”

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

“Huff huff….”

As soon as Li Shimin entered, he heard all kinds of pig squeals and humming sounds next to his ears, which never stopped.

This pig farm is very large and there are many sheds inside.

Li Shimin walked to the nearest shed, and as soon as he entered, he was completely stunned?

What did I see?
He saw scenery he had never seen before, and it was beyond his expectations!

Squares were divided one by one, and in each square, a different number of pigs lived. He had never seen such a breeding method before.

He thought that they should be allowed to move around freely like cattle and sheep, but who would have thought that these pigs were all kept in squares.

The old man seemed to have seen Li Shimin's shock, and he smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, this breeding method is very simple. His Highness said that when pork becomes popular, every household will be able to raise a few pigs for their own use."

"Moreover, these pigs live in pig pens all day long, so they only need to be fed with feed at regular intervals."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng have already walked to the edge of the pigpen.

They looked at the pigs here and wondered what was different between them and those outside.

But it seems that they are all similar.

It’s just that the pigs here are cleaner than those outside, and they seem to be much bigger than those outside.

The meat on their bodies is heavy and looks very appetizing.

"Old sir, these pigs raised by Young Master Qin seem to be no different from the pigs outside. But why...why is the pork outside so unpalatable, while the pork in Wangyun Inn is so delicious."

Changsun Wuji couldn't figure this out.

"Yes, old man, shouldn't the pork be the same? Why is there such a big difference? Could it be that... this pig is actually different from the pigs outside?"

Du Ruhui couldn't figure this out.

What is cheap meat?

The kind of meat that is smelly, rotten and fishy is called cheap meat. It is impossible to swallow it at all. Even if you feed it to dogs, dogs will not eat it.

But think about the meat you ate at noon.

Gudong….
Thinking of it, several people couldn't help swallowing.

Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and the others all looked at the old man.

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Princess Changle also looked at the old man.

All are quietly waiting for explanation.

Only the little fool Xiao Sizi dragged Cheng Yaojin to the pigpen to play.

For Li Shimin and others,

It has to be said that this problem is the one that bothers them the most.

For thousands of years, pork has been despised in a way that cannot be summed up in one sentence.

Everyone said that this meat was cheap and could not be eaten.

Now, after being handled by Qin Changye, it has become extremely delicious. The tricks involved are definitely very profound!
Li Shimin also wanted to judge. If he wanted to make pork delicious, but there were too many processes involved, or even if there were so many that the people could not afford it, then it would be a waste of time and effort.

After all, pork is meant to benefit the people.

It would be such a pity if in the end it could only become a delicacy on the table of the powerful.

Li Shimin pursed his lips and couldn't help asking, "Yes, what's the difference? If you want to turn cheap meat into good meat, will it consume a lot of energy? If it's too heavy, the people may not be able to afford it at all."

Li Shimin frowned and asked hesitantly.

The old man smiled, listened to the caring words of several people, shook his head, and looked back.

"Old Liu, please introduce them to His Majesty."

When Old Liu heard the old man's instructions, he hurried over.

"Your Majesty, and everyone else, don't worry. Raising pigs is actually very simple, the cost is extremely low, and it doesn't even take much energy. This thing is the best meat for the people."

"Look at our pig farm. If we sell pork, the price of one pound of pork is about fifteen cents. Isn't this very cheap? Your Majesty, this is cheaper than all other meats, right?"

Old Liu said hurriedly, even a little unconfident.

If you listen more carefully, you can hear his voice is a little distorted because he is nervous. He is nervous that the pork cannot be put on the market smoothly.

"What? Only fifteen cents a pound? This..."

When Li Shimin heard this answer, he was completely stunned.

What is this price?!

Oh my God! ! !
It's almost the same as food, except that food is a little more expensive.

If you can buy such delicious pork at such a cheap price, then people's lives will really improve dramatically.

Not only Li Shimin, but Empress Changsun also couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief when she heard this.

"So cheap? My God, if that's the case, people will really be able to afford pork, and this meat will be available in millions of households!"

"Oh my God, oh my God!"

Du Ruhui was startled and his whole body trembled.

He had thought that if pork could be sold for one hundred coins per pound, it would be a huge benefit to the people.

But unexpectedly, the price was reduced to fifteen cents per pound.

hiss….
Who can bear this! !
If the people of the Tang Dynasty heard this news, they would probably go crazy!
"This...this...you can make money this way?!"

Changsun Wuji was extremely curious.

When Old Liu heard this, his back straightened up all of a sudden, his eyes were full of pride, and his face was even a little arrogant.

That’s right, it’s arrogance!
Of course, this kind of arrogance is not arrogance in that sense, but a kind of self-confidence, a kind of pride, and an attitude of feeling that one is great.

"Of course! Boss Qin has clearly calculated the account for us, but we can't tell you about it because it involves commercial secrets, and Boss Qin doesn't allow us to tell anyone."

"But, there is just one thing, Your Majesty, and the Dukes, I can tell you this, Boss Qin said that as long as the scale is large, the cost will be reduced, and our Datang Pig Farm will become the first and largest pig farm in Datang, so this is our price barrier, a price barrier that no one can surpass!"

Old Liu was saying things that even he himself couldn't understand.

However, Qin Changye told them these clearly.

Although Old Liu didn't understand, he remembered it all in his heart.

Li Shimin was silent.

Changsun Wuji and others were also silent.

"Then....what should we do to turn cheap meat into good meat?"

After a while, Li Shimin became a little anxious and couldn't wait to ask again.

This price is so cheap.

In comparison, this process will be very simple and definitely not complicated.

If this is the case, it is simply tailor-made for the people.

"Ha ha…."

Old Liu laughed twice.

He rolled up his sleeves and seemed to be talking about pig farming. He exuded immense confidence from the inside out.

Even facing the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he was not afraid.

When it comes to pig farming, what can it do even if Li Shimin is the emperor?
No one can compare to him!
Old Liu turned his head and looked at the three pigs in the square next to him. His eyes were full of love and pampering. He said, "Your Majesty, the reason why pork tastes bad nowadays is mainly because the breeding method is wrong."

"Of course, there is also a point when slaughtering that some techniques need to be corrected."

There was light in Old Liu's eyes when he spoke of this.

He pointed to the pig's tail.

"Look, you have to cut off the tails of these pigs when they are little. Pigs may look docile, but they are actually very naughty. If their tails are not cut, they will bite each other's tails."

"By then, the survival rate of the piglets will be greatly reduced, but as long as their tails are cut off, the survival rate will increase dramatically, at least to 80% to 90%. Then after one or two months, all the piglets will be castrated."
