After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

"Haotian is ruthless, and the world is in chaos. What's the use of being sad. She is a person who has achieved great things. If she doesn't have to hurt her ambitions, and without separation from love and hate, how can she understand that there is no cure for this world, and she can only change the day and the day. Shaping the sky will give Li Zhaodi a way to survive in this world."

Feng'er frowned, feeling that there seemed to be an unspeakable anger hidden in Jiang Yongkang's words.

Jealous of the world.

There was strong hatred in his eyes.

Especially at this moment, he seemed to have unleashed all his restrained sharpness, which hurt people's eyes.

However, Feng'er thought about what happened to Jiang Yongkang. His whole family was harmed by people from the imperial court. Although he had no talent, he was exiled to Qianzhou. It was inevitable to become cynical.

Sensing the movement of people in the room, Feng'er stood up in surprise: "The city lord is out!"

Xu Zhenying didn't wear much clothes. The cotton industry did not develop in the Zhou Dynasty, so she relied on single clothes or furs to protect herself from the cold. She wore her hair in a man's bun and a fur coat. She looked like a handsome young man.

Feng'er wanted to go up to him, but for some reason, his feet stopped for half a step.

She was keenly aware that Xu Zhenying seemed to have changed.

Her eyes were red, obviously from crying.

But her eyes were firmer than ever before, like a sword unsheathed, with an unrivaled sharp edge!
For a moment, Feng'er felt inexplicably frightened.

Xu Zhenying opened the door and saw Feng'er and Jiang Yongkang outside the room.

Both of them looked at her expectantly.

She glanced slightly, then withdrew her gaze. All the coldness in her eyes faded away, and her face was still as gentle and calm as ever. It seemed that she could not tell that she had just experienced the heart-wrenching pain of separation and death.

Her voice was a little hoarse, "Feng'er, I'm a little hungry."

Feng'er immediately said happily: "City Lord, please wait, I will have someone make you something to eat right away."

Then only Xu Zhenying and Jiang Yongkang were left.

Their eyes met, and the wind passed without a trace, and the long wind picked up a strand of hair in front of Xu Zhenying's forehead.

Her tone was very calm, as usual, but with a bit more murderous intent, "Starting from tomorrow, Mo Jinchun will select 200 people, you select 500 people, and I will lead the team for training."

Jiang Yongkang couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Yes!"

Xu Zhenying turned around.

She glanced at the moon, then chuckled, "The moonlight is so beautiful, but it's a pity... the world is so rotten!"

----------------

The next day, Xu Zhenying went to take a look at the newly built chicken coop.

Everyone in the Xu family knew about Li Zhaodi's incident, and also knew that Xu Zhenying was in a bad mood these past two days, so they were a little frightened and became more cautious in doing things.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying was like a normal person, still talking and laughing, just like usual.

Ever since Xu Zhenying distributed food to the people in the city, the wealthy households in the city have become obedient and no longer dare to stand up to her.

The people in the city also respected her.

The few people following Xu Zhenying didn't dare to express their anger, and their words were gentler than usual.

As soon as the chicken coop was built, the carpenter started to quarrel with the students.

The students only worked for one day before they almost gave up and all went to Fang Xun to make trouble.

Fang Xun also smiled and agreed with them to change their positions, and asked them to choose between cultivating leeks, farming, or raising pigs. The students were not fooled, knowing that they did not have many choices, so they could only continue to work with tears in their eyes.

It's just that the carpenters, the women raising chickens, and the students all had their own ideas. After two days of arguing, the chicken coop was built with a roof.

Xu Zhenying originally wanted to build the chicken coop as soon as possible so that he could supplement protein for the children in the city. But when he took a look today, he realized that the construction schedule was so behind.

The women complained that their words were not listened to.

Students complained that the chicken coop Xu Zhenying mentioned was too bizarre and difficult to build.

Carpenters have no idea what they need.

In addition to building a prototype of a chicken coop, the three parties spent the rest of the time talking.

Now that I met Xu Zhenying, the three parties were all talking about their own reasons and making a lot of noise.

After hearing the reasons of the three parties, Xu Zhenying saw that the three parties were arguing endlessly, so he could only act as a peacemaker. He first fully praised the enthusiasm of the three parties. As expected, the three parties looked excited and full of motivation.

Feng'er and Xu Yinxi behind them both expressed that they had learned.

Next time when you are doing the work of your subordinates, you must first suppress and then promote. Your words must be said beautifully and your shortcomings must be mentioned second.

Xu Zhenying first said to the carpenter: "Please make a chicken coop first. It doesn't need to be big, but it should be just big enough to fit a chicken in."

The carpenter took a few children to collect rice yesterday. Now his attitude towards Xu Zhenying has changed drastically. He looked flattered and said, "City Lord, you are so polite. If you have anything to do, just give me an order. I have already made the chicken coop." , but these eldest ladies must be too young."

The carpenter took out the finished chicken cage from the corner.

Xu Zhenying didn't mind it being dirty, so he just lifted it up and said to the group of scholars: "Bring the drawings here and let me take a look."

The leader's name was Liu Jianlin. Because he had witnessed Xu Zhenying killing the entire Chen family, he was somewhat trembling at the moment and was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.

As soon as he heard Xu Zhenying's instructions, he immediately took the drawing and laid it out, "City Lord... we have been studying the chicken coop you drew for a long time, and we are always puzzled. Why did the city master leave such a small space for the chickens? There is space for movement. If it cannot move, will it affect the taste of the meat?”

Xu Zhenying nodded, "It will affect it, but this kind of chicken tastes softer and does not need to be stewed for so long. It is suitable for children or the elderly with bad teeth."

Seeing Liu Jianlin, they all looked puzzled, thinking that they had never seen modern centralized breeding, so they became more patient. She picked up a wooden stick from the ground, pointed to the drawing and explained: "This chicken coop It must not be too big, that is, it will not allow the chickens to have space to move. In this way, their activity will be reduced, but they will not eat less feed. They will grow very quickly, and they will not taste so bad. This cage is just the right size. But this is not the method. When the time comes, the chicken coop will be divided into several rows according to the size of the house. Each row will have about two or three levels of chicken cages. The chicken cages will be connected one after another without leaving any gaps in between. There will be one chicken in each cage. Do you think there is anything that can be done? Quick and cost-effective way.”

The carpenter slapped his head and said excitedly: "Oh, City Lord, if you say this, you will understand. In fact, there is no need to make cages one by one, just make them horizontally and in rows, and insert them into the space to create chicken coops side by side. This way you can Saves a lot of time.”

This carpenter's mind is quite flexible.

Xu Zhenying nodded, smiled and asked: "Uncle, what is your surname?"

Seeing that Xu Zhenying was so polite, the carpenter was frightened and said, "Your Majesty, my surname is Lu. You can just call me Carpenter Lu." Xu Zhenying never hesitated to praise, and encouraged: "Carpenter Lu is really easy to understand. That's what I mean. Let's Raise all the chickens in the city, maintain sufficient temperature and humidity in the chicken coop, ventilate it in time, and clean it in time. The chickens will grow very quickly, and a batch of chickens can be slaughtered in sixty days."

"Sixty days?" Not only was Carpenter Lu surprised, but the people behind Xu Zhenying were also extremely shocked.

None of these women have two or three chickens at home. Ordinary chickens usually take four to five months to grow up. Xu Zhenying is so good that he shortens the time by half in one breath.

Seeing that Xu Zhenying was young, some people thought she had little experience, and implicitly reminded her: "Your Majesty, it takes five or six months for an ordinary chicken to grow up. Is two months too fast?"

Xu Zhenying shook his head, "I just want you to shorten the time. Otherwise, why would I spend so much manpower and material resources building this standardized chicken coop? If it is just to raise chickens, I will just find a few women. Who doesn't have women from the Zhou Dynasty?" Have you ever raised chickens? Why do I need to find these scholars to cooperate with a few aunts? I just want to control the time when chickens are released, as well as eggs. These scholars have good brains and can write. You have to do your own experiments and research. Under which conditions the eggs are most likely to hatch chicks? Later we will expand the chicken coop, expand the breeding scale, and continue to shorten the time. At least one egg should be given to the children in the city every day. This task is no easier than charging into battle."

When Liu Jianlin and others heard this, they were shocked at first, and then felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

But there are some ignorant people who question: "This method is good, but it is a bit too cruel. Penalize the chicken in this inch of land, do not let it move even a bit, and kill it when it is mature. This is It’s so inhumane.”

These words made everyone present look confused.

Before Xu Zhenying could say anything, a woman ridiculed: "I see you are so full that you start farting randomly within two days. How cruel are you? Don't eat if you are cruel. You can move your chopsticks faster than anyone else. Now let's talk about it." Cruel, just... that's what... that's what..."

"False benevolence and righteousness!" a woman followed, which immediately attracted everyone's ridicule, "Oh, Auntie Zhou can also speak idioms~"

"They say that a useless scholar is a scholar. You think this is cruel. I think your parents are the most cruel if they only support your body and not your brain!"

Xu Zhenying was stunned and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Do all the women under Old Liao have such sharp teeth?
Good guy, this is the legendary talent who can argue for a whole day without repeating the curse!

The young man was so scolded that his face turned red and he was too embarrassed to argue with a group of women, so he could only hand over his hands and beg for mercy.

Xu Zhenying said: "Actually, you are right, it is very cruel to do this. But survival is the instinct of every animal, and so is human beings. Before people have enough food and clothing, they have no way to consider other things. This is the so-called economy The architecture determines the superstructure.”

Liu Jianlin was startled, and then asked without hesitation: "May I ask, Lord City Lord, what is a superstructure?"

Xu Zhenying coughed, "You can understand the superstructure as the realm of thought. This sentence means that if ordinary people are hungry, we cannot ask them to have any moral thoughts. Only those who have enough food and clothing can know the etiquette. Honor and disgrace.”

When several scholars heard this, their expressions immediately turned to overjoyed, and they couldn't help but ask: "The city lord is also a scholar?"

"I have read a few books, but I don't know much about it. I will rely on your help in the future." Xu Zhenying blushed. Seeing that the scholars were asking questions, he quickly changed the topic, "Anyway, this chicken coop thing You must take it to heart. You are now the pioneers of breeding, and your breeding is not the same concept as the breeding outside. I need you to set a precedent, cooperate sincerely, and experiment as soon as possible to create the conditions for chickens to lay eggs and lay chickens as quickly as possible. You When doing experiments, you must develop the habit of recording. For example, what is the temperature of this group of experimental subjects, how many pounds they have grown, and how much time they have grown. All seemingly insignificant details must be recorded so that you can control the variables. We in Lan County Whether these 5000 people can be self-sufficient in food depends entirely on you!"

This pie is so beautiful...

Not to mention those women, even Liu Jianlin and the others looked excited.

Yes, they all raise chickens, but they are no ordinary chickens!

The city lord has said that they are pioneers in raising chickens!
Xu Zhenying continued to draw the cake, and did not forget to put pressure on them, "You have to work harder. Yesterday, a group was set up at the pig raising place, and they are studying how to get the pigs out of the market quickly, and the meat quality is not bad. The pig raising team There are many capable people there, and all of them are elite soldiers and generals, and Fang Xun will also become the person in charge there to supervise this matter."

Fang Xun, who suddenly became the person in charge of pig farming, was confused.

What happened? I was just in charge of grain, but suddenly I became a pig farmer again?

Xu Zhenying mentioned pig raising to him, but he didn't say that he would be fully responsible for it.

Besides, when he was lying in bed last night, he was still congratulating himself that he was not arrested for raising pigs. Why did he become the person in charge today?
Facing the crowd, Fang Xun naturally did not dare to dismantle Xu Zhenying. He had difficulty in defending himself, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes, the city lord has come up with a way to quickly increase pig production. We have made a decision here." We have reached our goal and strive to increase the weight of each pig by twenty kilograms every month!”

Good guy!
Everyone present gasped.

Twenty pounds a month, what kind of goal is this?

Due to the limitations of castration technology, there were not many people raising pigs in the Zhou Dynasty.Not only does the pig production cycle take a long time, but the adult pork always has a strong smell that cannot be concealed no matter how you cook it.

Not only that, uncastrated pigs have violent tempers and can easily hurt people.Therefore, ancient people were more accustomed to eating mutton than pork.

As a senior foodie, without pork, half of the happiness in this world would be lost.Spare ribs, pork belly, and pig's trotters, which one is not the best in the world?
Although Xu Zhenying has never chopped a pig with his own hands, he saw other people slaughtering pigs in the countryside when he was a child. The scene... I couldn't bear to look at it...

All she remembers now is that piglets must be castrated about seven days after birth, otherwise the mortality and infection rates will be greatly increased.

"Really, twenty pounds? My family has never raised pigs, but I heard from Aunt Li, the pig raiser in our village, that pigs grow slowly and it takes several years anyway."

"Your Majesty, this pork is not very tasty. It's very smelly. I can smell the smell from a distance and can't eat it at all. It can be used to refine oil."

Xu Zhenying smiled and said: "The pigs I let people raise are different. Not only do they grow fast, but they also have no taste. You will know when the time comes."

She looked at Liu Jianlin and the others again, the smile on her lips was even more meaningful. She patted Liu Jianlin on the shoulder with a kind look: "Master Liu, raising chickens is a job that requires patience, care and perseverance. This thing may be really difficult for you. If it doesn’t work, just give up. It’s okay for the people of Lan County not to eat chicken. When the pigs in their pig farming group are out of the slaughter, we will eat pork. As for supplementing the food for the children in Lan County Nutrition, don’t mention it.”

Before Liu Jianlin could say anything, the scholars behind him immediately looked insulted, and almost slapped their chests and issued a military order: "City Lord, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us? Then we must raise chickens. We not only need to raise chickens, but we also need to raise them well. Didn’t their pig-raising team put down their bold words and say they want to gain twenty pounds a month? How can we be resigned to lagging behind? Okay, just do what the city lord said and strive for sixty days The first batch of chickens to be put out!”

The women also immediately expressed their stance: "Your Majesty, these guys are right, our chicken team can't be looked down upon by others! Isn't it just raising chickens? Sisters, let's compare our housekeeping skills. , we women in Shangshui Village are no worse than anyone else!"

Xu Zhenying clapped quickly and praised sincerely: "In this way, the task of Lan County's food self-sufficiency is left to everyone! If you can really increase the production of livestock, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

After this conversation, the women were no longer afraid of Xu Zhenying.

Although most of them are people under Lao Liao, everyone can see that Xu Zhenying is more capable than Lao Liao and is more polite. His attitude towards farmers like them is no different from that of scholars.

Although she chopped off the heads of more than a dozen people yesterday, this iron-blooded method made people scared, but now I thought about it, it is not a good thing for the Chen family to bully men and women, and the Chen family has already received food. In their hands, this made them surprised and happy, and they were very grateful to Xu Zhenying.

After finally meeting Xu Zhenying, a brave woman pulled her over and asked, "City Lord, didn't you say you wanted to divide the fields when you entered the city? When will we divide the fields?"

A woman next to her pulled her and told her not to ask any more questions, as she might get into trouble.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying was not annoyed. Instead, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt. I, Xu Zhenying, keep my word. When I enter the city, I will naturally divide the fields. I also know that this is the issue that everyone is most concerned about. I am here today." I have told a few aunts that if anyone asks, I would also like to ask a few aunts to help me pass on a message to stabilize everyone's mood, so that everyone will not have to guess, which is not good."

The woman immediately agreed happily.

Not only the women, but also everyone in the chicken coop listened to Xu Zhenying's arrangements with open ears.

"I think you have also seen that we have just entered the city a few days ago, and I have just solved the food problem for everyone. This matter must be done one by one. The most important thing for us when entering the city is to eat enough first. This food After you’re full, you still have to consider the city’s defense and security. There are so many refugees outside, and there are quite a lot of them in groups. What if the bandits attack? Are the aunts willing to go back to the days of running around? "

"Of course I don't want to. If anyone comes to rob Lan County, I will fight to the death!" A woman's eyes turned slightly red as she thought of something.

"We finally have a piece of roof to cover ourselves, no one can try to drive us away!"

"The city lord is right, city defense safety comes first!"
