I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 48 Pig Raising Ambassador
His Majesty Li Er and the two ministers couldn't help but nodded. They were different from those rich kids who talked about the truth. They really understood the sufferings of the people and were willing to do things. Naturally, they knew the problems that plagued the people in raising pigs.

"Actually, to solve this problem, it is very simple, that is castration."

"Castration?"

His Majesty Li Er and the two Shangshu old men couldn't help but look at each other. The eunuchs had heard of it, and it was really unheard of to castrate pigs.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wang Zi'an always felt that the little eunuchs standing beside him were looking at him with cold eyes.But at this moment, there is no need to care about the small thoughts of the little eunuchs. Looking at the three big brothers who are like curious babies, Wang Zi'an continued to popularize the basic knowledge of raising pigs for them.

"Yes, as long as those boars are castrated, they will become docile, eat and sleep late, which will greatly reduce consumption and shorten the breeding period. Not only can they grow to three to five hundred catties in three to five months The scale, and the meat is tender and delicious, without any peculiar smell, which is enough to become a delicacy comparable to mutton and beef. But compared with cattle and sheep, its cost is very low, and the breeding method is simple. Ordinary people, even if they have no surplus food at home, as long as they work Yu, cut some weeds for it, and it will grow as well.”

"What do you mean, ordinary people can afford it?"

If such pork can be spread in the market, it will naturally drive the positive behavior of the people and increase the income of the people.Tang Jian's beard trembled a little with excitement. If it was true, it would be of great significance. The common people would have one more way to support their families, and the country would have one more way to make money.

"Yes, because the cost is low, ordinary people can not only afford it, but also eat it."

Wang Zi'an nodded affirmatively.

Ordinary people can afford meat!
His Majesty Li Er couldn't sit still any longer, and suddenly stood up, looking at Wang Zi'an with piercing eyes.

"This statement is true!"

"really!"

Hearing Wang Zi'an's affirmative words, His Majesty Li Er sprinted away on the spot. Tang Jian burst into tears, hugged Duan Lun excitedly and kept shaking him. Poor old man Duan was shaken like a lotus in the wind by Old Tang.But rarely, Lao Duan didn't scold this old enemy, and hugged Tang Jianhuang with some gaffes.

Wang Zi'an was dumbfounded. Could it be that these three monarchs and ministers just lost their minds and ate pork...

What kind of a big deal is it for future generations to eat pork?
Even for ordinary households, whoever weighs a few catties every now and then, sees meat almost every time, and many people are even tired of eating it, and many children refuse to eat it.Therefore, Wang Zi'an subconsciously ignored the ancient people's obsession with eating meat.

Mencius said to King Hui of Liang: "Those who are seventy wear silk and eat meat, and the people will neither be hungry nor cold, but there is no such thing as a king." In Mencius' eyes, if the elderly over 70 years old in the country can eat meat, Then this society is really great, and the common people will naturally support him and make him king.

The human nature of seventy is rare since ancient times, how many people can live to be 70 years old?It can be seen how difficult this standard was to achieve at the time.In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, this situation has not changed significantly. Ordinary people should not be able to eat meat or not. In many places, not to mention eating meat, even basic food and clothing cannot be solved.

Therefore, after hearing that this kind of large-scale breeding and promotion can make ordinary people eat meat, the three of them immediately became restless. Think about it, as long as the later history books say that during the Zhenguan period, under the wise leadership of His Majesty Li Er Now, under the vigorous promotion of Shangshu Tang Jian and Duan Lun, ordinary people can eat meat, what does that mean?Since ancient times, there has never been a feat!

His Majesty the Emperor is naturally a wise emperor through the ages, comparable to Yao and Shun, and he himself must be comparable to Duke Zhou, and will live forever!What's more, this is a good deed for the common people in a down-to-earth manner, benefiting the country and the people!

Dry!
Whoever refuses to raise pigs, I will overthrow him.

Two old men who were over half a century old were full of murderous intent and were ready to throw themselves into the big business of raising pigs.

"As for Zi'an, if the matter can be done, you really have made a great contribution. In this case, why don't you be named a pig raising ambassador, and let the two ministers cooperate with you to vigorously promote the pig raising business."

puff--

Wang Zi'an almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Thinking of the record in the history books of later generations: In the middle of Zhenguan Years, Wang Zi'an, the pig raising ambassador...he felt that it was getting dark.

"Your Majesty, no! It's not right for me to be the pig raising ambassador. This kind of important matter that concerns the national economy and the people's livelihood is no small matter. It must be carried out by a senior with high morals and prestige in order to carry out this matter better. Therefore, I It’s better to be on the sidelines to assist. This pig raising ambassador might as well—”

Thanks to the name of Zhenguan Taiji Promotion Envoy, at least he no longer needs to call himself Caomin Caomin—he is a bit allergic to that cursive character...

Wang Zi'an glanced at Tang Jian and Duan Lun, and the two old men were immediately excited. Their two old faces squeezed into two big chrysanthemums, and they desperately pointed at themselves, beckoning to Wang Zi'an to recommend them.You are so enthusiastic, no wonder I——

Wang Zi'an was not too embarrassed to let the two old men take the blame, but seeing their enthusiasm, he had to point at the two old ministers.

"It's better to let the two Shangshu adults take care of it."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, one minister of the Ministry of Industry and one minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cooperated with each other, which was considered appropriate.So he nodded immediately, and appointed Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, as the main envoy of the Pig Raising Ambassador of the Tang Dynasty, and Duan Lun, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, as the deputy envoy, to cooperate with Wang Zi'an to start the great cause of raising pigs in the Tang Empire.Immediately, His Majesty Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian, Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Duan Lun, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Zi'an carefully discussed the pig raising business of Datang.

"Scale pig raising is beneficial to the country and the people. Weichen suggested that the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry should jointly set up a pig raising department, and start to implement this immediately. Try to make most of the farmers who have conditions permit be able to raise pigs before winter. A pig, so that at the end of the year, everyone can have a good year."

Tang Jian lifted the goatee on his chin, looking forward to it, and Duan Lun beside him couldn't help but nodded in agreement.Wang Zi'an saw that His Majesty Li Er showed a thoughtful look, as if he was really considering the feasibility of this matter, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. I have only seen people raising pigs before, and I only know a general process, and I don't have any experience in raising domestic pigs. Therefore, this matter should not be rushed. It is best that we can do it on a small scale first. Try it out, and it won’t be too late to promote it after you have gained mature experience.”

Li Shimin and the two old ministers looked at each other, and couldn't help showing a smile like an old fox, and His Majesty Li Er laughed even more.

"Just now I was worried about you being young and aggressive, but now it seems that I am worrying too much."

Wang Zi'an couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart, and glared sullenly at Tang Jian and Duan Lun who were smiling like two old foxes.Sure enough, he was still young. How could a dignified minister of a country, a great man in history, make the mistake of rushing forward?They were just testing themselves just now...
