Li Jing almost thought that he had something wrong with his ears because of his old age.
Your Majesty went to Chang'an Military Camp early in the morning just to raise pigs???
No, wait,
Your Majesty wants to raise pigs?
"Keming, what's going on? Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of raising... pigs?"
"That's it. Your Majesty recently received advice from an expert and learned a new way to raise pigs..."
"Raising pigs is not a big deal, but it is a small matter. With the same feeding, pigs can produce nearly twice as much meat as sheep. It is in order for the people to eat meat that your Majesty decided to personally
Supervise this matter."
"oh……"
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling beside him all nodded.
If you say that, it makes sense.
But... Li Jing still doesn't quite understand.
"But Your Majesty didn't think of this before, so why did you suddenly decide to try raising pigs?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and then said, "And I heard... pig farming is prone to plague in the pens, and one mistake can lead to bankruptcies, so few people are willing to raise them. Your Majesty..."
Du Ruhui showed a strange and proud smile.
"This is not because your Majesty recently received advice from an expert and developed a unique method of raising pigs to avoid the plague. If the attempt succeeds, the price of meat in the world will be cut in half. You also know that Your Majesty cares about people's livelihood, so he personally does it.
.”
"When you two go, you'll know once you take a look."
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling both nodded, understanding the situation.
The sound of horse hooves gradually increased in speed.
But what the two of them still don't quite understand is.
It’s not that no one raises pigs in the world, but that they are often trapped by plagues and fear that they will lose their money and dare not try.
Various prescriptions are given, and basically there are four words: the whole army is wiped out.
no effect!
What's more, the pork tastes dry and unpleasant in the mouth, and its sales are not good.
Who has your majesty met, and can he come up with a good way to raise pigs?
Speaking of which, how the meat tastes is also a question.
…
Soon we arrived at the western suburbs of Chang'an.
The military camp is here.
Li Er looked at the camp from a distance, feeling very kind in his heart.
This was an army he had personally led for many years.
Now that the world is settled, Li Er has a new mission for these soldiers.
That's right, when Li Er mentioned raising pigs, he immediately thought of the military camp.
Food in the army, even when there is plenty of food and grass, often only dry food.
The task of raising pigs is given to them. If it is completed, not only the food will be improved, but the soldiers will also be able to get more household subsidies, killing two birds with one stone.
soon……
Li Jing, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling followed Li Er into the military camp.
Follow Li Er's request along the way, don't be polite and go directly to the pig pen.
Finally, we arrived at a place that looked like a hayloft.
Walk in and take a look.
Li Er and Du Ruhui nodded at the same time.
Everything in this military camp is done quickly and without any sloppiness. Du Ruhui purchased piglets early in the morning and sent them here using the method of building pens. The construction has now been completed.
When setting up camp, the soldiers couldn't be more skilled.
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling were stunned.
This straw shed looks no different from an ordinary stable or other livestock storage place.
But the interior is ingenious.
Use fences to divide the large pen into many small pens.
There are aisles in the middle for feeders to enter and exit.
Fang Xuanling remembered that this fence was different from the fences he had seen before, and said, "Your Majesty, how could this fence be built like this?"
Li Jing also nodded with a slight frown, "This fence can provide shelter from wind and rain, why do you have to separate it into small rooms?"
"This is just a pen for raising pigs. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
Although the workload is not that much - the bulk of it is still building a straw shed, but after all, there are a lot of fence posts, so it obviously still takes some work.
But Li Er smiled slightly.
"The pharmacist may not know something."
"The purpose of this fence separation is to avoid the plague! Why don't you think about how the plague spreads? One to ten, and ten to a hundred. By being separated like this, we can avoid spreading!"
"!"
"!!!"
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling looked at each other.
They really didn't expect this!
It is true that the method of raising pigs is just a trivial method, but if you think about it, if this method can reduce the price of meat in the world by half and everyone can taste meat, it will be an incredible achievement!
Looking at the history, no emperor can make everyone have meat to eat!
In an instant, they all understood what Li Shimin was excited about this early in the morning.
This method of raising pigs is indeed unique!
Then, Fang Xuanling looked around and frowned.
"But... General Li, your military camp is not managed very well."
"Xuanling, what are you talking about?"
Li Jing suddenly had a serious expression on his face, "Old Fang, you mean so well, why are you blaming me?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Since it is a place for raising livestock, it should be sealed tightly to prevent the smell of livestock from leaking out."
"The affairs in the military camp need to be neat and orderly. What kind of etiquette is this?"
What Fang Xuanling was referring to was the four sides of the fence.
There are no walls, except for rows of solid pillars to support the place, and the thick thatch roof above, without any shelter!
There was a faint smell of a pigsty...the piglets had just been moved in.
If it goes on for a long time, you may not know how bad it will become.
Li Jing was startled, Lao Fang seemed to be right.
What do you mean by the stench in the military camp?
I felt unhappy for a moment and said loudly, "Chen San, come here!"
A young primary school student hurriedly ran to Li Jing and obeyed his orders. He was sweating profusely because he heard Li Jing's unkind tone.
"Master Du asked you to build this fence. If that's the case, why don't you build it thoroughly?"
The general was angry, and the colonel suddenly panicked and couldn't understand what he said.
But at this time Li Er smiled and waved his hand.
"Xuanling, pharmacist, this young general cannot be blamed for this."
"It's naturally my idea to build the railing like this."
…
"Uh... Your Majesty, why is this?"
Li Jing was stunned, but he remembered clearly,
Li Er's ability to lead troops is stronger than all the famous generals in the world.
In this case, Your Majesty should know that the military camp must be serious and tidy.
Raising pigs can be regarded as taking care of the lives of soldiers, but why are the pens not closed?
As Xuan Ling said, what kind of style is it?
Li Er smiled.
"This is the second outline of the method of raising pigs. The residence must be clean and ventilated!"
"If the door hinge is not beetrooted, the running water will not be rotten. Only by eliminating the blockage will it not harbor dirt and evil!"
"This...this makes sense!"
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.
There was a great epidemic after the war. Fang Xuanling had to deal with more than one plague or two?
According to his experience, the construction of this fence seems to be really useful.
Without enough experience and extraordinary ingenuity, I would never have thought that this principle could actually be used to improve people's meat-eating problem.
Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were known as Fang Mou and Du Duan.
But now he just wants to know who the master His Majesty met is?!
