Villager of Daming

Chapter 804 Fireworks bloom and the moon is full

"Zhu Lichang, what should we do if the people accidentally raise the pigs to death? Even if they raised the pigs to death themselves, it was actually because of our promotion."

Wei Su thought of the life of the local people when he was driven to guard Yuque Temple. It would take a long time to raise a dead chicken, especially an egg-laying chicken.

Raise a pig, it will die if you keep it, you won’t dare to sell it, you will be afraid of eating it yourself, and you may get sick even if you see the money is gone.

It stands to reason that whatever the people need to survive is entirely their own fault and cannot be blamed on others, nor is it the medicine given by others.

But it turns out that people can still live a normal life without raising pigs. After raising pigs, they have to spend extra money to buy bran to feed them, and they have to cook pig food, which wastes time.

If someone else comes up with this idea, His Majesty accepts it. Wei Su thinks that he will not say anything. Since it is Xiaqiu Village, I want to ask, is there any way?

"Xueshi Wei is very concerned, so he has another plan, where the imperial court or a certain place will produce piglets and give them to the people to raise.

Our army must teach the people literacy, disease prevention and treatment, breeding and planting.

Let them help family farmers check the condition of the pigs. If they die, we will pay the farmers the cost of feed, but not labor. After all, we will also lose the piglets.

When they are fattened and ready for slaughter, people must sell them to us according to a standard price range. If they are sold to other merchants at a high price, we need to compensate our piglets, which is very expensive.

We even provide them with feed, and when they sell out their pigs, they give us the feed money, and we try to bear the risk. "

The head of the village came up with the second plan, which was to use the labor force of the people to raise food for himself. If he didn't need poultry, he would need pigs.

No matter how big the animals are, there are sergeants who teach them. People who can raise big animals have better conditions at home, and they will take good care of them.

Wei Su smiled and said, "This is a good idea for Zhu Li! We think it's good."

He was speechless after saying this. He had no right to make the decision. Whether it works or not depends entirely on what His Majesty thinks.

"We also think it's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The place where wheat is grown is most suitable for raising pigs. There is wheat bran to eat, but the rice husk pigs don't like to eat.

If you feed too much rice husks, the pigs will become thinner as they eat. It is said that it is difficult to digest and scrape the intestines, so you can only feed a little. Pigs can't do it without that called crude fiber!

The rest is to make pillow pulp, and use bran where wheat is grown.

Either use rice husks to grow mushrooms, yes, and see if they can be popularized. Then everyone will have more mushrooms to eat.

In addition, only a portion can be added to silage, which is suitable for livestock that chew cud.

If I had understood this when I was herding cattle for Liu De, I wouldn't have had to be beaten so much. No, he just wanted to beat us, damn it.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought and took a deep breath. He could not order Liu De to be killed. He had to keep it so that others could see his generosity.

The team went to other canteens and also went into the homes of several representatives in charge. They were all clean. Men were working outside, and women had to clean up at home.

What's more, all the furniture is made by himself. You can tell by looking at him that he is rich, and he is indeed rich. Wang Yiqian's monthly salary is [-] guan.

Including bonuses and not counting various tickets, his income exceeded [-] yuan.

A day's work for him would take a month's work, but those people couldn't do the work he could do.

He was great before, and he has been studying and studying hard.

When ordinary people build a house at home, he will directly submit the materials after asking about the requirements, including confirming the construction period.

The key is that he is loyal, don't worry about him having problems, he owes too much, if he dares to have a little crooked idea, others will scold him to death, the kind of thing that a thousand people will criticize.

His house is big and tidied up neatly, so no one else has any objections.

"Yi Qian's house is the best. If you have more babies, you will need medicine if your body feels bad. Hehehehehe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang came out of Wang Yiqian's home and asked him to continue having children, and he already had grandchildren. "Listen to your Majesty's instructions. No need for medicine. We can do it. We are the earliest to hang out with Xiaqiu Village, so this house is the best."

Wang Yiqian does not think that he can still work hard when he is old and contribute to the population growth of the Ming Dynasty together with his wife.

"It's done! Don't force it. Let's go back and watch the river lanterns. You can put them here too."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his wrist to look at the time. There were still four to ten minutes before midnight and he had to leave.

Liu Bowen took the opportunity to take a look, and then adjusted his watch. It seemed to be one minute faster?

"Didn't I get a new watch? Isn't it accurate?" Zhu Yuanzhang was determined not to tell Liu Bowen about the tourbillon watch.

"I haven't checked my watch for three days. It's better than before. The original watch was off by several minutes a day. Can I take it back and keep it in mind?"

Liu Bowen found that the new watch was indeed more accurate, but he was worried about the one he handed in. It would be good to have an extra watch.

"One hundred thousand coins, the Yi people bought three of them." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand.

"A watch is enough for me to wear." Liu Bowen gave up. He couldn't come up with a hundred thousand guan, not even a thousand guan.

Everyone got on the boat and went back to their previous position along the current.

When midnight comes, water lanterns are put into the river one after another. Before the ones from upstream float up, fireworks take off.

Young men and women carry lanterns and gather together to buy marshmallows, candied haws and other snacks.

The girls from the brothel came out in a group, attracting a lot of attention, and the sound of singing came from the boat on the river.

The round moon came to the sky and was reflected on the river together with the lanterns, breaking and gathering in the ripples.

Everyone drank in silence, and when the pig's trotters were brought, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't use chopsticks. Like the children in the industrial area, he grabbed, pulled and bit them with his hands.

He waited until the fireworks ended in a quarter of an hour, but he still hadn't finished eating the pig's trotters. He was so big that he took a sip of wine after eating, and then looked at the surrounding scenery.

"You really have to raise pigs, otherwise where would you go to chew pig trotters and take a break? Fortunately, it's only half of one, but it's so big!"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the burr paper to wipe his hands and gasped. The pig's trotters he ate were the male pigs that were eliminated from Xiaqiu Village. They were bigger.

Just because it has not been castrated, the meat will smell bad if it is not properly processed. Just soak it in cold water for a while and it will be better.

This year is the culling period, new male pigs are taking over, and the previous ones are being disposed of.

In the second half of the year, some sows will also have to be eliminated, but they do not have to be killed and can be sold to others to continue giving birth to piglets.

Only sows that give birth to many litters can survive. Once their numbers begin to decrease, they are no longer suitable to be used as breeding pigs.

The male's desire is low and he is not as active as before, so he is not as good as a female breeding pig!It won't be sold once it's eliminated.

"This one has been raised for exactly three years at this time, and it has provided many good young breeding pigs."

Let me explain, Your Majesty, what you are eating is breeding pigs.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no other thoughts: "No wonder! The ones that were sown should indeed be big, so where did those things on the pigs go?"

“Sold, the whip will be given to those with bronchial diseases to eat, and the whip will be made into vegetables and sold, which is quite expensive!
For those children who are not developing well, we give them royal jelly and hormone-containing products. Our own children do not need it, and the nutrition is good.

Royal jelly is suitable for adults and the elderly. It is very good for the elderly to maintain their health.The taste of whip is actually not as good as that of bean gluten, and the bean gluten from the village is more delicious. "

The village chief didn't keep those things at all. The village didn't eat them, so they gave them away and sold them. However, he kept the sheep kidneys, which were delicious.
