Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 204 Dick and Dick

"The furry is so cute!" Tian Ji searched up and down excitedly.

"Yeah, look, it can still move!" Zhao Ji couldn't put it down and played with it.

"Oh, it's so hot!" Qi Rui'er dared to touch it, and then retracted her hand in fear.

"Brother Emperor, can I raise a chick in the house? Just one!" Ying Yinman pulled Fusu's sleeve and began to act coquettishly, looking at the kang with peasy eyes. little chicks.

"Of course..." Fu Sula said in a long voice, "No! If you can't memorize today's Tianwen Chapter, you won't be allowed to eat!"

What a joke, the dignified princess of the empire raises chickens in the palace, and that fat man must give me a dream at night... Fu Su ignored Ying Yinman who was buzzing.

Another reason why she was not allowed to raise chickens was that chickens are rectal intestines, so they can move wherever they go. Will her bedroom still be able to accommodate people?

It doesn't matter if she can't live in her own room, what if she goes to live with my wife?
How much it affects the harmony between our husband and wife!
Fusu thought of this, and ignored his younger sister whose acting skills were even more false.

"Your Majesty, look!" Zhao Ji held a small chicken in both hands and approached Fusu, with a smile on her face, almond eyes curved, and a very moist look appeared on her face.

Obviously, these days of intense confrontation, Fusu seems to have won, but actually lost a mess...

Ah, the girlish heart of this old man...Fu Su resisted the urge to go up to the chick and tried hard to maintain the majestic personality of the head of the family.

However, out of the corner of Fusu's eyes, he saw the buttocks of the little chicken held by Zhao Ji lifted up, so he began to look forward to what happened next.

"what!"

"Hahaha!"

Go to the character design of the head of his family. Although this is a harem, it is Fusu's home. He still puts on airs in his own home, isn't he tired?
Zhao Ji put the little chicken down, wiped the filth on her palm with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Your Majesty, how bad are you..."

Tian Ji wiped the goosebumps on her arms: "Hey!"

Qi Ruier really wanted to blend in, so she stared at Fusu with resentful eyes.

Well, a beauty is a beauty, even when she stares at you with cross-eyed eyes, she is so beautiful... Fusu pretended not to see it, turned around and picked up the bamboo slips that were put aside to read.

It records the rotation of the palace people who take care of the heated kang every day, as well as the hatching records of the chicks.

Hey, this is a good word, and it is getting better and better every day, and the records are very detailed. It seems that Luan Bu can be of great use... Fu Su flipped through the bamboo slips, and at the same time glanced at the fields where Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji were hurting each other. Ji.

She, who was already plump, became more and more plump after pregnancy. At this time, her eyebrows and eyes flowed, making her look extraordinarily sultry!
if……

Bah, now is not the time to think about it!
Now that Tian Ji is pregnant, she can take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

For example, give Tian some honors.

Well, let Tian Ji preside over the silkworm kissing ceremony in two months.

After wooing some of the fields in Qidi, they will dump the Hedong salt to Linzi County, Jiaodong County and other places, and bankrupt the private salt dealers there in one fell swoop!
The reason why Fusu took precedence over big landlords in cracking down on private salt dealers was that, unlike landlords who could obtain income legally, private salt was banned in every dynasty.

But people die for money, birds die for food.

Big profits can be made from selling private salt, so there is no shortage of people who take the risk.

These private salt dealers want money and money, and people.

Once the world changes, these people can stand on their own as kings when they advance, and they can rule one side when they retreat!
For example, Huang Chao in the Tang Dynasty and Zhang Shicheng in the late Yuan Dynasty.

In analogy, the private salt dealers at this time are equivalent to Mexican drug lords...

And according to the data deduced from the above-mentioned documents over the years, the private salt dealers in Qidi have reached a very rampant level!

The annual output of official salt farms has declined year by year, and the income from selling salt has also shrunk.

According to the local planners, after the salt farms were nationalized, the salt workers began to live a life of eating from big pots, so they were not motivated to work, and they mainly fished on a daily basis...

To this, Fusu nodded approvingly on the surface, but only responded with two words in his heart.

Under the same system, the salt fields in other places have not reduced production, but yours has reduced production. Are you lying to ghosts?

Well, when it's time to sell salt, let the soldiers from Youbeiping and Yuyang go south to engage in training and deter the careerists in the counties of Qidi.

Of course, there is another prerequisite for all this, and that is after the peace talks with Donghu and the trade agreement are finalized.

Fusu has seen through some people's true thoughts from time to time.

That is, everyone doesn't like to be the first bird!
This gave him room to attack a small number of people and win over a large number of people.

Fusu put down the bamboo slips, looked at the women lying on the kang playing with the chicks, turned and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Luan Bu led the eunuch's people to kneel down and salute immediately.

They are servants of the emperor, so they need to kowtow.

"Get up." Fusu nodded and said, "You guys did a great job, a total of more than 700 chicks were hatched from [-] eggs, and the rest that failed to hatch should be sold in the market. Well, by the way, it must be thoroughly cooked before it can be sold!"

The so-called failed hatching refers to the very expensive fluffy eggs sold in later generations, but Fusu could not accept it because of personal reasons.

As for letting them cook thoroughly, it is because fluffy eggs may contain bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, so they are not suitable for eating raw, but they should be fine after being cooked... right?

After the palace servants left, Fusu ordered Luan Bu to order people to expand the area of ​​the greenhouse, and send people to buy suitable eggs from the people to continue hatching a batch of chicks.

And now this batch of hatched chicks will be raised in the greenhouse for ten days and a half months, and then those who are strong will be selected and sent to Shanglin Garden for breeding, and the rest will be sold in the market , used to offset part of the cost of buying eggs.

According to the price of goods in Qin State at that time, each of these handfuls of small chickens was worth about [-] to [-] yuan, which was almost equivalent to [-] kilograms of corn!

The reason why Fusu did not raise a large number of chickens in the palace is that he was not a professional in animal husbandry.

Although captive breeding is good for fattening, in this era without various vaccines, a chicken will die every minute if a chicken gets plague or other infectious diseases!
As for the chickens sent to Shanglin Garden, they are used to select and try to breed laying hens that lay eggs more frequently and broiler chickens that grow meat faster through observation.

To sum up, this is the place where modern traversers are better than ancients.
