The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 491 The Arrival of the Big White Pig
The thing about the grassland is one aspect.

In other aspects, Zhu Ying obviously pays more attention to the development of people's livelihood.

Especially about commerce.

Good development can enhance people's lives.

The lives of the people improved and their physical condition improved, so it was easier to recruit soldiers.

With enough soldiers, then Ming's military strength will not decrease.

At this point, the development of animal husbandry is currently the keynote set by Zhu Ying.

Corn is the best fodder. Zhu Ying is still clear about this. While vigorously planting corn, he also constantly encourages the development of animal husbandry.

After several months, a dozen white pigs were transported to the capital on a large boat outside Zhengyangmen.

The news soon reached Zhu Ying, including Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Dasun, is that white pig really as good as you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard the news, couldn't help asking his grandson.

Because in Dasun's mouth, the benefits of the white pig are too many.

Grow fat, grow fast, and give birth to many litters.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a poor peasant, of course knows what these three advantages represent, which means that more people will eat meat.

As for the taste, it doesn't seem to be that important.

If meat can be allowed to enter the homes of tens of thousands of people, just like rice, then it will be really, a prosperous age!
"Grandpa, don't worry, this is the hog specially collected by my grandson when he sent the chamber of commerce overseas. When my grandson was in the Western Regions, I heard about it from others, so I always took it to heart."

On Zhu Ying's side, no matter what time it is, just push it to the Western Regions.

There were many small countries in the Western Regions, and there were so many businessmen from all over the world, no one could tell what was going on inside.

Hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously more interested.

on the pier.

Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in person, even though Dasun told him that he would be transported to the palace, but he still wanted to take a good look at the first time.

It is naturally impossible for a pig to be called a pig now.

After all, this big tomorrow belongs to the old Zhu family.

If the folks shouted to kill a pig, wouldn't it be the same way as to kill Zhu?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about some folk matters, such as naming his descendants, he had already started to create his own fonts, in order not to avoid taboos, but hearing about killing pigs and Zhu, he definitely felt uncomfortable.

So today's pigs are more commonly called hogs, or dolphins, pigs, and so on.

Anyway, it is impossible for a pig to be called a pig.

"Master, my master, please board the ship. There are more than 300 white hogs shipped from overseas. They come from various countries. The ones on the bed are specially sent sample hogs."

After Zhang Bo saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying, he spoke.

This trip is of the nature of a private visit on Weibo, and it is not a big fanfare. Naturally, the address and etiquette are much simpler.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's title outside, he is the master.

The environment of more than 300 pigs together is naturally not very elegant, so this ship is specially packaged.

Zhu Yuanzhang boarded the boat immediately to find out.

Although the inside of the boat is a place to raise pigs, it has long been known that Zhu Ying will come here, and that is the owner, His Royal Highness Taisun.

Therefore, these white pigs began to be bathed every day in two or three days, and even the bathing water was accompanied by spices.

In the boat, incense is lit to get rid of the smell.

Even in the feed for pigs, there will be no peculiar smell.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang got into the boat, he saw a clean floor, and a white pig that had been cleaned several times. Even the hair, he didn't know how many times he had cleaned it.

Seeing this and seeing the fat white pig, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stepped forward and touched his hands. Feeling the fatness, he laughed and said, "It's no wonder that the white pig was shipped from overseas. It's so clean, even It also has a fragrance, so we don’t think it’s called a fragrant hog.”

These words made Zhang Bo behind him extremely embarrassed.

However, a clever boatman said: "Master, you are a nobleman. Naturally, this white pig can't be as dirty and messy as ordinary pigs in front of the nobleman. In front of the nobleman, this white pig also has to be cleaned up." It’s about etiquette.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help looking at the boatman, and said, "He's a talking boy."

The boatman looked only in his early twenties, upon hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your compliment."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said to the eldest grandson, "Are all these hogs so big?"

Zhu Ying replied: "It's not always true. Although pigs are all white, they also have different places. It's just that my grandson can't tell the best pig among them, so I asked people to buy white pigs in every place. Come in batches."

"When breeding, a record is made. The hogs that grow the fastest and fattest are the good hogs. In the future, apart from breeding them here, they can also be purchased in large quantities from the place where they were produced."

"The grandson will set up a special pig factory separately in Daming and the place where it is produced, to cultivate and produce it, and then sell it to the people at a price lower than that of black pigs, so as to strengthen the self-cultivation of the people."

Hearing the grandson's arrangement, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement, and said: "The price of the small hog in the early stage should be as low as possible. Even if it doesn't make much money, it doesn't matter. The main thing is to let the common people start raising them."

"In three to five years, the price of meat in our Ming Dynasty can be reduced, so that more people can eat meat."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the white pigs, and said on the spot that all these white pigs would be put into the palace for feeding.

In the palace, the relative living facilities are very complete, not only the fields, vegetable fields, but also all kinds of meat are all raised by separate people.

Except for some special and rare species, such as wild game, most of the imperial palace's needs can be self-sufficient.

However, these are naturally for the royal family to enjoy, and the food eaten by ordinary court ladies, eunuchs, and guards is basically purchased from outside the palace.

The previous purchases in the palace have basically been cancelled. At present, all the needs of the palace are basically handled by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce alone.

No matter in terms of price or other aspects, there are certain guarantees.

This also turned the living standard in the palace upside down. Even the most humble eunuch, not to mention meat in their meals, but eating meat every day is no longer a problem.

Zhu Ying's current reputation in the palace is no worse than that of the outside world.

All court ladies and eunuchs have more subsidies in terms of food and clothing.

The most common is clothing.

For example, for eunuchs' clothes, it is considered good to have a new set of clothes a year, and now basically every extreme will give out a set, even the old eunuchs who can't work will not be left behind.

On the maid's side, many new styles have been designed. Although simple, they look graceful.

Not to mention a series of chores such as the repair of each palace.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of October.

The weather in Daming can be said to be getting colder every year.

It was not long before winter came, and it was night, and the cold was already coming out when I was talking.

After a year of coal mining, not to mention the whole of Ming Dynasty, at least in the land of the capital, it is warm everywhere.

At this time, Zhu Ying basically didn't come out of Kunning Palace much.

Apart from participating in the daily morning meeting, it is to be by Ye Yueqing's side.

At this moment, Ye Yueqing's stomach is already very big.

It is estimated that in more than a month, the production period will arrive.

In Kunning Palace, several well-known midwives of the capital have already moved in, and the best daughters are also living in Kunning Palace.

Taking the pulse every day has become Ye Yueqing's daily routine.

The medical skills of the Ming Dynasty can be considered very good in today's era. Every imperial physician is a family of imperial physicians.

As for medicine, although its development was limited due to the Mongolian Yuan's invasion of the Central Plains, it did not lose anything in terms of status.

Because Mongolians respect doctors very much.

Among them, in the era of Genghis Khan, doctors reached the pinnacle of their status.

The Mongols are bloodthirsty, but they have great respect for doctors. The most obvious one is Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan’s life was rescued many times by Mongol doctors. Therefore, no matter where they invaded, the Mongols would not kill people with medical skills, but would even provide them with delicious food and drink.

As long as the famous doctors have real talents and knowledge, they will be sent to the Great Khan immediately, and they will become the talents that the princes and nobles compete for.

The real dignitaries in Mongolia also like compound talents. Talents who can handle affairs and treat diseases at critical moments are very popular with them. Some famous doctors have also been able to participate in politics and become big men who control Mongolia's political situation.

For example, Zheng Xianjing treated Wo Kuotai's illnesses while recommending talents for him. Yelu Chucai had a part in his success as Shu Ling.

During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, there were many famous doctors who became court ministers. Meng Ge and Kublai Khan also rushed to recruit famous doctors to work by their side. Famous Han officials Xu Guozhen, Dou Mo, Han Gonglin, etc. were originally imperial physicians.

It can be said that in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, the development of medicine was in a good environment, and many famous medical families were not only preserved, but also developed extremely well.

But also because of this, because the doctor's status is too high, and those who cling to are all powerful, which has a lot of bullying to the common people. The title of Mongolian doctor also started from this period.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang obviously doesn't value doctors that much.

Too many people were executed in the Tai Hospital.

That is, after Zhu Ying arrived in the palace, this phenomenon began to be curbed. With the establishment of the medical school, the status of doctors began to gradually rise.

Naturally, all the doctors respect His Highness the Grandson very much.

Di Yusen has been in a very depressed mood recently.

Because it has been three months, and the murderer has not been found out yet. Although there are a few suspects, there is almost no evidence, and it is impossible to identify them.

On Lan Yu's side, it is naturally impossible to spend time with him often, so she gradually didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Ying didn't say any pressure on him, but Di Yusen himself was under a lot of pressure.

First of all, in the yamen, he, the magistrate of Jing county, had almost no other things to do, and the magistrate of Jing county didn't dare to arrange anything for him to do.

So now Di Yusen has nothing to do except investigate the assassination case of the commanding envoy every day.

On the surface, the assassination case and the assassination case of the Commander-in-Chief are over, but Di Yusen has received an order from His Highness the Grandson to secretly investigate the real culprit.

"Husband, it's going to be Chinese New Year in two months. It's so cold now that you're going out all day, so you need to buy a few good cotton coats."

"Tomorrow will delay your time a little, follow me to the tailor shop to measure the size."

At dinner that day, Qin Lixue said to Di Yusen.

Di Yusen said: "Let's just do it according to the previous size. It's not like you don't know my current situation, sir. How dare you slack off in the slightest."

Hearing this, Qin Lixue complained a little and said: "Since you came to this capital, you have been leaving early and returning late every day, and you haven't stayed at home much, and I dare not go out every day, for fear that the money will be used too much. "

"You have been busy for so many days, and you haven't found anything. Isn't it just a little delay in work?"

"I heard that the tailors in this tailor shop are the most famous. It was hard to make an appointment. If you just go there, how much can you delay?"

Hearing this, Di Yusen put down his chopsticks and said, "Ma'am, you don't understand my current situation, and you have to be busy because you didn't find out."

"This busy, even if it's just busy work, it has to be busy."

"His Royal Highness entrusted such an important matter to me. I thought there would be no problem, but it has been three months now."

"Although His Royal Highness has never urged anything, basic performance is necessary."

"Now that the salary system has been reformed, we have so many treasures every month. If we are punished and blamed for this, it will be difficult to handle."

Di Yusen is a smart person, especially when it comes to being wise and safe.

He knew that there were a lot of people staring at him now, so don't underestimate the position of Jingxian Cheng. Although the rank is not high, he has a lot of real power.

It's just that these powers haven't really been handed over to him yet.

He bears the name of Jingxian Cheng, but except for handling cases, he can't get to him.

At present, Di Yusen doesn't know whether this is the meaning of His Highness the Grandson or other officials, but no matter who it is, it means that Di Yusen must solve the case before he can really take power.

When Qin Lixue heard this, she couldn't help but frown, and asked, "Then husband, how long will it take you to solve this case?"

"If one day His Royal Highness Taisun blames him, let alone the capital can't stay, even the Pingyang Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back."

Di Yusen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

If he returns to Pingyang Mansion in such a disheveled manner, it will be the end of his life.

However, his eyes were very determined, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, lady, I already have a specific goal for my husband."

"It will be Chinese New Year soon, and the case before the year will definitely be solved."
