Every morning, Liu Mingqi will exercise seriously when she wakes up.

Only after that will I go to have a meal and start my day's life.

He has been a human being in his second life, so the young man naturally knows what is the most important thing.

Only with a strong body can we talk about everything else.

Otherwise, even if there are more than a dozen beautiful ladies wandering in front of you, if you are still powerless, you really can't say that you have any sense of happiness.

After breakfast, Liu Mingqi took Dazhu out.

It’s not that Liu Mingqi is too arrogant, but that one big pillar can beat ten people.

Dazhu is also a formal guard of the royal palace and is qualified to bring a long refining sword. With weapons, Dazhu can kill even dozens of people.

Moreover, in this Jingji area, basically all the criminals with more than ten people were killed by the Yulin Guard, and the rest of them were also kept as humans, so there was still a guarantee of safety.

The boy went to the suburbs outside the capital, commonly known as the suburbs.

According to his understanding, within a radius of thirty miles outside the capital city, there are markets, towns, and at least hundreds of thousands of people living there.

Because it is located around the capital, there are many business, official business, etc., and coupled with the needs of the capital itself, these hundreds of thousands of people live a pretty good life.

Since the purchase of lard was relaxed, hundreds of fat pigs have been slaughtered every day, and tens of thousands of kilograms of fat were sent to Prince Yu's mansion to start refining. The boiling of so much fat meat every day has also caused the reason why the imperial city has become a stinky city.

Just ten days ago, the soap workshop and the essential oil workshop began to move to the Embroidered Yiwei Yamen. The fatty oil cooking work was also scattered into the homes of the people outside the city, and they cooked it and then delivered it.

As a result, in just a few days, the lard received every day reached more than 20,000 kilograms. Compared with fatty meat, pure lard has a utilization rate of 100%, which is equivalent to 30,000 kilograms of fat meat before.

There is no end to these lard Prince Yu’s Mansion - 30,000 pieces of soap a day, how many sets of reaction devices and equipment are needed to make it?

At best, just use 5,000 kilograms a day. All the rest is to separate the glycerin into floral essential oil first, and then use the rest slowly.

However, Prince Yu's mansion also kept his word and collected everything he came, so the purchase volume of lard has increased for several consecutive days.

Of course, there are bad guys.

Since the beginning of making soap, Prince Yu’s Mansion has arrested more than 70 illegal vendors and farmers in the Imperial Court.

They either use other oil instead of lard, or add water to it, resulting in impurity.

In this case, no matter who is wise, everyone will be warned.

After knowing that Prince Yu's Mansion is never ruthless, there are almost no one who has done wrong tricks recently.

After riding a horse out of the city, the two walked along the official road for almost seven or eight miles, and then they saw a man waving in front of a pavilion on the side of the road.

The man was in his thirties, dark-skinned, wearing a short cloth jacket, knee-length pants, and wearing a pair of straw sandals, looking similar to an ordinary farmer.

But in fact, he is a village vendor who specializes in buying some things from villages and towns and selling them in the capital.

Such vendors are everywhere outside the Imperial Palace, but not many people who are truly good at doing so are trusted by the farmers.

This man named Lu Gui is one with a good reputation.

He provided fat to Prince Yu's Mansion since the beginning of soap making. Now he bought thousands of pounds of lard every day and transported it to Prince Yu's Mansion. There was no shortage or other problems at all.

That's why Liu Mingqi came to him for help this time.

"Your Highness, Brother Dazhu, you came so early!" Lu Gui rushed forward and held the horses for the two of them, and smiled on his wrinkled faces.

"It's getting late." Liu Mingqi got off the horse, "Old Lu, when you smell this, everyone is starting to be busy."

The air was filled with the familiar smell of pigs, but it was much less slim than what you could smell in the imperial city.

Lu Gui heard this and said, "This is because there are many pig-raising families in this village, so when they get together, they will appear thicker. If we go to other villages, it will not be so thicker."

While speaking, the young man and Dazhu both got off the horse, led the horse and followed Lu Gui to the fork road.

After a while, the smell of pig stinking in the three of them became stronger and stronger, and a village with about a hundred houses also appeared in front of them.

The village is built under a small hill, surrounded by bamboo forests of all sizes. The closer it is to the house, the more land it will be reclaimed.

There are many villages like this outside the capital, like stars, all around.

Those who have formed the market size will set up markets next to the official roads for food, drink, and entertainment.

Some villages mainly based on agriculture are at most three or five miles away from the official road, so it is convenient for them to transport goods to the capital.

This is similar to the future road economy.

The more prosperous the road is, the complete range of commercial facilities will be.

However, this village is obviously poorer, with few brick and tile houses, most of which are made of soil, and many are thatched huts.

However, these houses are scattered very wide, and you can see many big black pigs wandering around the mountains, woodlands and open spaces from afar.

Those who care about them are usually little kids, and adults are rarely seen.

Even the little kids are not very serious in their care. From time to time, a few little kids will laugh and fight and chase them.

The boy was a little confused.

Big black pig is good!

Although the growth cycle is a little slower, it tastes much better than pigs born for fattening like Canadian white pigs.

Unfortunately, in the 21st century of another world, this pure-bred black pig is rare, and only some can be found in the mountains. Almost all the pork on the market is Canadian white pigs, and it can grow to two or three hundred kilograms in 150 days, and it is not delicious at all.

When he came to his senses, several small radish heads had appeared in front of him.

They have men and women, and they are only five or six years old. Their faces are barely clean, but the clothes they wear are a little torn, so naturally there are no shoes under their feet.

The little carrot heads looked at Liu Mingqi and the others curiously and timidly, as well as the two tall horses, and then kept retreating as Liu Mingqi and the others advanced.

The boy smiled, grabbed a handful of candied fruit wrapped in candied paper from the cloth bag next to the saddle, and handed it to them.

The little radish heads were so scared that they took a few steps back. When Liu Mingqi took apart one of them, revealing the candied fruit inside. A sweet fragrance came, they swallowed and looked at Liu Mingqi with anticipation.

"Hold it!" Lu Gui said quickly: "I'm going to give you my reward, thank you!"

"Thanks……"

Lu Gui was the one they knew. When he saw him, he spoke. After a group of little radish heads thanked him timidly, he carefully took the candied fruit from Liu Mingqi.

They only took one of them, not because they didn’t want to take more, but because they were afraid that they would get scolded if they took more.

Some people opened it and swallowed it, while others took a small bite and ran home.

But after this, the remaining little radish heads also smiled at Liu Mingqi.

Those who can give them candied fruit are naturally not bad people.

"Speaking of this, I still have your blessings for you." Lu Gui sighed, "In the past, this village was a bit remote and had no good things to produce. On weekdays, I paid taxes to support myself, but I just fed some fat pigs to sell them to the people of all over the countryside to earn some money for sesame oil and salt to buy clothes.

In the past, pork was very cheap, with fatty meat only 5 cents per pound and lean meat only 10 cents per pound, which was basically half of a dou of rice. If they hadn't been able to eat some meat and go into the water, they really wouldn't want to raise it anymore.

As a result, they cooked lard by themselves and sold it to me for twenty-five cents per pound. A pig could earn at least one tael of more silver! The ones who were raised at home have started planning to build a new house after a period of time!"

Liu Mingqi has a slight jaw.

Only when the people live a good life will they be willing to do their best to provide lard to themselves.

In doing business, we need to benefit both parties so that they can last for a long time.

"Oh, Boss Lu, you came early!"

At this time, a loud voice came from the distance, and a black and thin middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the village in big strides, with a smile on his face, exactly the same as when Lu Gui saw Liu Mingqi just now.

"Zhao Cunzheng, you are here just in time." Lu Gui greeted him, "Come on, I have seen His Highness the Prince of Prince Yu's Mansion!"

"ah!?"

Zhao Cun was shocked, "Crown Prince... Your Highness!?"

"right!"

"Plop!"

With Lu Gui's confirmation, Zhao Cunzheng knelt down directly, "Xiao Ge Village, Zhao Youjin, met... He has met His Highness the Little Prince!"

Fortunately, the roads are all muddy, otherwise Liu Mingqi was worried that he would break his knees.

"No gift!"

Liu Mingqi waved, "Zhao Cunzheng, get up and talk."

According to etiquette, when ordinary people see the prince, they should kneel down and salute.

But under normal circumstances, the requirements are not so strict. For example, people in the capital just bow and greet.

The children of the royal family don’t care so much about these false rituals, and few people will pursue them.

But these villagers in the suburbs should be respectful out of their natural awe of imperial power.

The farther away from the capital, the more this happens.

Seeing Liu Mingqi's kind look, Zhao Youjin stood up and grinned, "I said why was Xi Mai shouting this morning? It turned out that there was a noble person coming!...Boss Lu just told me that there was a manager from Prince Yu's mansion coming today, but he didn't say it was you!"

People in the countryside naturally have their own way of dealing with the world.

Although Zhao Cunzheng has no education, he can blurt out such compliments and will not be annoying.

"Zhao Cunzheng, how many households do you have in total? How many pigs do you raise?" Liu Mingqi asked casually.

Zhao Youjin opened his mouth and said, "When you say that to the little prince, there are a total of 107 families in our Xiaoge Village, 532 men and women. So far, there are still 1,737 pigs, of which 1,385 fat pigs can be slaughtered."
