People at the bottom are often the ones with the least bottom line.

In order to survive and for such a bowl of porridge, these people can do unbelievably cruel things.

But this is also the sorrow of the lowest-level figures, and it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem in the current social environment.

Xiaoge Village is not the poorest, but if they overestimate their character, they will let you know what cunning from farmers means.

So Liu Mingqi had already made up her mind and wanted to send a few people to stay in Xiaoge Village to supervise them to raise pigs.

As for what pigs are used for...

nonsense!

Prince Yu was greedy for the repot meat, Dongpo pork, pork ribs, fried with waist and liver, and sausage.

Besides, the mutton in this world is not delicious, because it does not have pepper and is not well-raised, so there is always a smell of sheep. Even if spices such as dogwood are added, it is not as good as modern.

Modern sheep have also been continuously optimized for more than ten generations, consciously adjusting breeding methods, etc., so that they can obtain breeds such as beach sheep.

People today do not have this awareness at all.

The beef is pretty good, but as the most important tool for farming land, cattle cannot satisfy the farmers even if they are transported from the Qiyan Plateau in the north every year and transported to various provinces in Dakang.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, beef is not allowed to be slaughtered for eating.

Even if King Yu is the prince, he can't buy a beef cattle in a month.

In the past, if the son was really greedy, King Yu would enter the palace under the banner of visiting his mother, and then take dozens of kilograms of beef from the palace. Emperor Jinghe was also a greedy person, and the beef in the palace was still sufficient.

During the few months that have passed, Liu Mingqi ate the most, including chicken, duck, geese, fish and other things.

As we all know, Oriental people are suitable for eating pork, but if you eat the rest for a long time, you really can't stand it.

Seeing that life is gradually getting on track, Liu Mingqi actively began her pig farming plan.

The boy has calculated the time.

It is June now, and there are about six months left by the cold winter. It is just the time to kill you to eat during the Chinese New Year.

After the negotiations, Liu Mingqi also simply asked Dazhu to take twenty ingots of silver and give it to Zhao Youjin when he left the village, and asked him to quickly select boars and build a pigpen at the same time.

There is no foundation building in pigpens. The concrete construction model is to build walls with mud, build wooden shelves on the top, and finally lay the groundwork with thatch.

If heavy rain crushes the roof, it will be enough to replenish thatch after the rain stops.

Not just pigpens, but many poor people do the same.

Zhao Youjin held a cloth bag full of silver ingots and smiled into a chrysanthemum with an old face.

Everything else is fake, only money is real.

As long as Prince Yu keeps his word, Xiaoge Village is destined to become a wealthy village.

If it can be transformed into a village's capital, wouldn't I be able to get rich with promotion?

Lu Gui was envious when he saw it.

But he was also wondering whether this deal could last long.

He ate pork when he was a child, but when he grew up and made money, he stopped eating it.

Think about it, is it disgusting to eat the livestock that is looking for food around the cesspool?

Although Prince Yu wanted to feed it with clean things, the smell of pork itself was still unbearable.

It is hard to imagine that a person like the little prince could eat such an unpleasant meat.

If he feels it is fresh for a while and then gives up after a while, the small Ge village will be called a waste of water.

However, I heard that Prince Yu is a person who keeps his word and thinks that he would not treat these poor people badly when he comes.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a shrill cry came from a distance.

"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper!!"

It sounded familiar to me, Lu Gui turned his head and saw a mule rushing over.

A young man in his twenties sat on the mule, but was ragged and covered in blood, looking a little scary.

"Xiao Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Lu Gui quickly met and supported the young man who was a little unsteady.

The young man struggled and said, "Shopkeeper, hurry up... Xiao Yue and the others were bitten by the evil dog, and the lard was also taken away..."

"Who did it?" Lu Gui was shocked, "Is it a robber?"

"No... no, it's the people of Beixionghou!" Xiao Zheng gasped, "They finally attacked us! The young master of Beixionghou and several thugs... They, with two evil dogs, let the dog bite people as soon as they came up! I wanted to go up and pull, but a big man hit the head with a stick, and then he ran away."

"How dare they?!" Lu Gui's face was pale, and his words were so scared that he was a little discontinuous.

Liu Mingqi smiled faintly and whispered to her personal bodyguard: "Dazhu, do you believe that with his mule, can you escape?"

"No." Dazhu shook his head.

"So, either someone else intends to let him report the news, or he has a ghost." Liu Mingqi said in his grip.

Dazhu nodded.

He didn't understand very much, but what Meng Shenxian had opened up to be said must be correct.

The two were talking here, and Lu Gui next to him rushed forward and knelt down for Liu Mingqi.

"Your Highness! Please save my brother! I am willing to give you all my things!!"

The boy had long expected that things would definitely involve him, so he was not anxious when he heard this and waved his hand, "Stand up and talk carefully, what's going on."

Lu Gui naturally did not get up, and his face showed grief and anger, "Your Highness, this is the case! Originally, everyone made money in the lard business of Prince Yu's mansion based on their own abilities.

But as the needs of the mansion increased, the money that could be made also increased a lot. Wu Zhou, the Marquis of Beixiong, wanted to monopolize this deal and drive us out.

Of course I didn't agree, but I didn't expect that they were so violent that they wouldn't give us ordinary people a way out."

When Liu Mingqi saw Zhao Youjin and others next to her, she turned to ask, "Do you know this Beixiong Marquis?"

"this……"

Zhao Youjin was not easy to talk to, but a village elder next to him said, "Baixiong Hou is a noble family. They also came to talk a few days ago and wanted to charge lard at a price of 15 cents, so we wouldn't do it! As a result, this group of people were very unhappy. If it weren't for the many people here, they would probably have taken action."

Fifteen cents per pound of lard?

The boy nodded. If they bought lard at such a price, they would sell it to Prince Yu's Mansion thirty cents a pound, and the difference would be twice as much as possible.

Based on the acquisition of more than 20,000 kilograms per day, the gross profit is 300 taels of silver, which is 9,000 taels per month, and 108,000 taels a year, which is equivalent to three salary for a prince. It is really very profitable!

The treatment of noble children is several times worse than that of the royal family!

The annual salary of the royal family was 2,500 taels of silver and 2,500 hu of rice.

The annual salary of the noble duke was only 700 taels of silver, and then it was gone.

The annual salary of a marquis like Beixiong Marquis has dropped to 610 taels. If they rely solely on this salary, their whole family will only be able to eat earth.

Therefore, these noble children are more active in business and more diverse, much bolder than the royal family.

The ability of Beixionghou to find such a deal is considered to be very sharp and has a very sensitive sense of smell.

But this method made Liu Mingqi not very satisfied.

Even if you use twenty-six or twenty-eight to unify the market, kill all the competitors, and then slowly reduce prices and squeeze farmers' profits through the advantages of monopolizing the market... In this case, I can admire your clever mind.

Such a lack of technical content and just relying on violence to do business will sooner or later collapse.

Not to mention anything else, if you find that you can earn 100,000 taels of silver in a year and want to snatch it, isn’t it the same as when you snatch others?

While Liu Mingqi was pondering, a group of people were watching him.

Lu Gui was afraid that he would give up his little shrimp, and Zhao Youjin and others were afraid that he would just collect lard, but he would not care about the lives and deaths of these ordinary people.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

After a while, Liu Mingqi finally made a decision.

The joy had just appeared on Lu Gui's face. Before he could get up, he heard a noisy barking of dogs.

Dazhu reacted first.

Turning around, I saw two shadows from far to near.

When I looked closely, there were two tall and mighty black leather dogs, shouting and rushing towards everyone.

As he was about to rush to Liu Mingqi, Dazhu suddenly took a few steps forward, but he didn't pull out his scabbard, and he hit the two dogs with the scabbard.

The two dogs were also fierce enough, and they didn't care at all and just flew into the air, trying to bite this malicious person who blocked the way.

However, Dazhu's hands were faster than them. When the two muffled sounds of "bang!bang!" passed, the two dogs fell from the air, whimpering and twitching, and stopped moving in a blink of an eye.

"Big treasure! Second treasure!!"

With a shrill cry, Liu Mingqi saw a chubby young man pointing at his group of people and shouting: "Beast!! Break their legs for me! That big man, I want him to die!!"

Following his orders, a group of men wearing black servant uniforms rushed out, all of whom were holding weapons such as sticks.

Seeing these dozen fierce men rushing over, Zhao Youjin and other old men were so scared that they retreated repeatedly, and shouted: "Come, come!"

Dazhu was calm and took a few more steps forward.
