Chapter 157;

Full of harvest

"My lords, please don't underestimate this pig farming."

"This is not just about eating meat or selling it for money."

"It is of great use to the general public."

As soon as Lu Yaoyao answered the question, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Xiangjun, please stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly. What's the benefit?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao looked at everyone in embarrassment.

"It's okay if you speak up."

Emperor Hongwen knew her scruples and spoke immediately.

"The pig's excrement acts on the land and can change the quality of farmland."

"Simply put, it means that lower-grade farmland can be upgraded to medium-grade farmland, or even superior farmland."

When they heard the excrement just now, they felt a little dirty, but what happened next made them almost stand up in shock.

"really?"

"Yes, I raise hundreds of pigs on my farm, and it has been verified that it does have such an effect."

"Okay, okay. In this way, people will no longer have to worry about poor harvests when they open up wasteland."

Wen Songtao stood up excitedly.

Dongzhou has a vast land and abundant resources, but why are there still so many people who have no land to farm?

Isn't it because this wasteland is barren, and despite all the hard work of clearing it and planting food, there is no harvest in a year.

But now that we have this pig, doesn't it mean that if we open up wasteland in the future and then raise it with pig excrement for a period of time, the wasteland can also become inferior farmland, or even become high-quality farmland in the future?

Once the people have land, food production will increase. Add potatoes and sweet potatoes, will the people of Dongzhou still be short of food in the future?

"Wanfu has already explained the benefits clearly to everyone."

"I came to you today just to let you taste this pork for yourself."

"The purpose is to wash away the title of cheap meat and encourage people all over the world to raise pigs in the future."

After hearing this, everyone stood up and bowed down.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The ministers have already won, and the next step is the most important step.

There were quite a few diners down at Baizhenlou, and almost everyone ate pork, and they all praised it.

Emperor Hongwen personally went to the scene, exposed the pork, and then described in detail the goodness of the pork and the goodness of raising pigs.

The emperor himself showed up and spoke out, and the effect was simply not very good.

In just half a day, all the talk in the capital was about pork and pig raising.

No one dares to say the term "cheap meat" anymore. After all, His Majesty himself spoke out and canceled the term pork as "cheap meat".

People who got the news were very curious about what the pork tasted like.

In this way, Baizhenlou's business became more prosperous than ever, and the existing three pigs were simply not enough to sell.

Emperor Hongwen's Dong Ouye was very quick. After returning to the palace at noon, he found the chief minister of the court and asked him to take charge of this matter.

Of course, for doing such a great thing, the reward from Wanfu Xiangjun cannot be less.

That afternoon, Li De personally brought her many rewards, and even brought her the Baizhen Tower sign mentioned by His Majesty.

In the evening, Lu Yaoyao returned to his house after a tiring day.

Because there is a big event in Baizhen Tower today, Mr. Lu personally ordered that no one from the Lu family in the Xiangjun Mansion, except Lu Xiu and Lu Kang, could leave the house to go to Baizhen Tower.

Of course, this order is mainly aimed at Zhang, Lu Honglan and Lu Wentao.

The Zhang family, who had seen Lu Yaoyao's methods, are now much more calm and settled, and have not left their own courtyards all day long.

"Yao Yao worked hard today."

"Although it was a bit hard, the rewards were good."

Lu Yaoyao was very satisfied with today's harvest.

Baizhenlou has become the most high-end restaurant in the capital, and it is easy to make money every day.

Then pig raising will be popularized soon, and then there will be no need to worry about the raw materials for making soap.

Of course, there were also the pigs on her farm, which the imperial court bought at a high price.

This time through the promotion of pig raising, she made money, gained fame, and gained a lot.

"My cousin is really amazing."

Lu Mingxi looked at Lu Yaoyao with admiration.

"Yes, you all should learn from Yaoyao in the future."

Several peers nodded repeatedly. Of course, among these people, Lu Honglan and Lu Wentao were not included.

At this time, Lu Wentao was still thinking about Wen Miaomiao.

"Mom, you must think of a way."

"Think about it, if my son becomes the son-in-law of the Wen family, the Zhao family will not be able to shake the status of the three of us in the Lu family in the future."

"Even in order to enhance his son's status, dad may even consider you as his equal wife."

"When the time comes, my sister and I will be considered legitimate children. From now on, no one will dare to look down on us because of our status as legitimate children."

Lu Wentao kept fantasizing about the benefits.

Mrs. Zhang, who was in front of him, couldn't help but follow his words and fantasize, and her heart was filled with excitement.

Next to her, Lu Honglan's eyes were also shining. What she resented the most was her status as a concubine. If she could get rid of this, she could do anything she wanted.

"Son, these mothers know what you are talking about."

"But your father has warned my mother before, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle."

Although she was excited, Ms. Zhang was not blinded by the benefits.

The Wen family is the home of the prime minister. The Lu family can associate with others because of the friendship between the two old men when they were young.

Wen Miaomiao was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, but what about her? She was a concubine of the Lu family, and her son was just a bastard.

Let alone a concubine, even if it were a legitimate son, the Wen family would probably not agree.

"I don't care. Mom, you have the best idea. My son, this is for the sake of our family."

"Mom, big brother is right, this is very beneficial."

"Although the Wen family is the prime minister's house, the relationship between the old man and Mr. Wen is unusual and not completely impossible."

"Besides, it's impossible to do it openly, we can still do it secretly."

As soon as Lu Honglan said these words, Zhang's eyes immediately narrowed.

yes.

On the surface, her son is indeed not worthy of Wen Miaomiao, but what if some tricks are used?

"I will find a way to deal with this matter. During this period, you should behave well. Now your father has a somewhat different view of us."

"You have to drag it back first."

Both of them nodded quickly.

That night, after Lu Xiu returned to the house and had dinner, he was invited over by Madam Zhang and stayed with her.

After learning the news, Ms. Zhao was very angry and wanted to go over and make trouble, but she held it back when she thought it was Xiangjun.

But the next day, during breakfast, she didn't look good on Lu Xiu.

Mr. Lu also knew about this and was quite dissatisfied with his eldest son's short memory.

"I'll leave today's business matters to the second brother. I have another thing for you to do, boss."

Hearing this, Lu Xiu nodded quickly.

"Dad, what's the matter with you?"

"Since you have decided to come to the capital for development, you naturally have to buy a yard. This country house belongs to Yaoyao girl. We can do it for the time being. Do you want to stay here permanently?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiu also reacted immediately.

Indeed, there is a big family in the Lu family. If they all came, Lu Yaoyao would definitely not be able to live in the residence of the village master. They couldn't live here either. They would have to build a yard of their own.
