People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 67 The Great Start of Pig Raising
"Have you heard that Shaofu is buying this kind of bug!"

"I heard, it is said that these bugs can be sold for [-] yuan a catty if they are dried and sold to the Shaofu."

"Three, thirty cash, me, what kind of firewood am I chopping, a bundle of firewood is only twenty cash."

"Yes, yes, don't mention your firewood. The scones I sold this day are less than [-] yuan, and this kind of bug is worth [-] yuan."

"Don't be so happy. It is said that this thing is a plague of locusts. If you catch this, there may be problems."

"If there is any problem, the locust plague is just the locust plague. You think there is really a locust god."

"Even if there is, it is an evil god, why keep him?"

"Let's go, go and catch bugs. My two young children can catch several catties. It is said that there are many more in the mountains and plains."

"That's a good feeling, let's go."

A series of voices were mixed, and the eyes of the people in Chang'an lit up at this moment.

Thirty Wen, not to mention the people outside the city, even ordinary people inside the city, are a little bit moved at this moment.

As for the so-called locust god, no one cared at all.

On this magical land, the people here have been so incompatible with the civilizations of the world for thousands of years. They pay attention to the nature and the gentlemen to strive for self-improvement. In later generations, they married in a Western-style church style, and had a great Christmas. Almost, monks, priests and lamas can recite scriptures at the same time during funerals, and there are all kinds of tablets for the god of wealth, land god, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Guan Gong and ancestors at home.

Even more than 1000 years ago, the essence is the same.

Plague of locusts, punished by the gods, what a joke, if you can bring value to yourself, then there will be no plague of locusts, God of locusts.

Thirty Wen per catty is enough to make most people stop thinking about these issues.

Under such circumstances, the people of Chang'an began to act quickly.

And the news spread to the entire Guanzhong.

I believe that within ten days and a half a month, the entire Guanzhong will get the news.

The mighty capture of locusts is about to begin.

Now the population of the entire Datang Guanzhong has probably recovered to about 300 million.

With such a huge population, if all of them were released to catch locusts.

The effect is absolutely outstanding.

Suppresses locusts.

No, maybe extermination of locusts is not necessarily impossible.

Of course, even if they were extinct, Li Ming wouldn't care too much about them.

After all, locusts are destined to only make a short-term fortune, and it is impossible to make a long-term fortune.

Nor did he intend to do it long-term.

in his previous plan.

The role of the locust is only to lay the initial foundation for his breeding industry.

Just like today.

The moment when the locusts rise.

His great pig raising business also officially kicked off at this moment.

His pig farming business had never expanded before.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

With "Postpartum Care of Sows" and "Top Ten Techniques for Barrows", most of his problems in raising pigs can be solved.

And pig raising is undoubtedly extremely huge for the improvement of a country's national strength, even much greater than chickens and ducks.

Compared with chicken and duck, pork can be regarded as real meat.

In the previous life, animal husbandry was the basic industry of the national economy and the pillar industry of the rural economy.Pig farming is an important industry sector of animal husbandry.

Its role is extremely huge, enough to provide meat for the people, and it is the most important source of animal protein for the people.

Second, it can provide a large amount of high-quality organic fertilizer and industrial raw materials.Pig manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer after fermentation and harmless treatment. It contains a large amount of nutrients and organic matter such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for crops.

Once the pig farming industry develops, it is almost impossible for Datang's national strength not to soar.

But the key is that there is not enough food.

It's really not enough.

Even after nine years of rest and recuperation, Datang's grain production is barely balanced. He is doing well in road repairs, but if he wants to start large-scale farming, he should just wash up and sleep. It is impossible.

Not to mention today, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was almost impossible to raise pigs on a large scale.

Pigs are different from chickens and ducks.

The food intake of chickens and ducks is limited, but pigs have a real big appetite. If there is not enough food, raising pigs is a joke.

So he has been waiting for the opportunity.

At this time the opportunity finally came.

The arrival of locusts is enough to provide pigs with a large source of protein, and the subsequent development of potatoes is also enough to make up for the results after the locust plague.

In this way, all worries about the future are completely gone.

Li Ming was naturally ready to take action.

early morning.

In the pig shed.

The pitiful scream of the little pig was so penetrating and frightening.

The barrows started again.

Since he was going to do a big job, Li Ming naturally didn't hesitate this time.

Hundreds of piglets were directly purchased in one go.

And these piglets need to be castrated.

As for how to castrate, of course find someone who knows how to do it.

Originally, Li Ming was planning to find the figure who castrated him that day.

But he met Wang De on the way.

After hearing about Li Ming, Wang De made a request to Li Ming.

That is whether the matter of letting the barrows be left to the father-in-law.

Li Ming was originally confused by this.

But soon he understood what was going on.

Now some father-in-laws in the palace have completely retired and have nothing to do in the palace. If there is no accident, in a few years, when they are completely old, they will be expelled from the palace, and then they will have no livelihood. .

Wang De obviously asked him to give these old people a way to survive.

Otherwise, leaving the palace with an old man's body, there is almost only one ending.

That is - death.

Regarding this, Li Ming pondered for a while, but still agreed.

This is not to please Wang De.

Now he has passed the situation where he needs to please the eunuch.

The reason for agreeing is simple.

This is not a big deal.

For him at least.

Whoever handed the piglets would be eunuchs, and if they were handed over to the eunuchs, maybe the effect would be better.

If it's not better, it's not worse anyway.

And these eunuchs have found a job that is enough to survive. For them, there is no luckier existence than this.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Your Highness, your technique in this book is simply amazing."

"That's right, Your Highness, if this servant had this level before, I'm afraid I'd wake up laughing from my dreams."

"Your Highness, what do you think of this!"

In the small courtyard, one after another silhouettes were talking, each one was extremely excited, with flushed faces.

At this moment, the new job and the new world opened a new door for them.

And the only poor one is the little pig.

One by one, the piglets were lifted up, and after screaming, their little eggs had completely left them.

And that shrill scream spread far, far away.

It makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears, so miserable.
