I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 47 His Majesty Li Er wants to raise pigs

The army attacked Tuyuhun, His Majesty Li Er wanted to show his prestige, so naturally he would not agree to Tubo's marriage proposal, so he rejected it very neatly.At the same time, the Tuyuhun envoy was ordered to be expelled, and he was strictly ordered to leave Chang'an within a time limit.

When Wang Zi'an saw His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er had already dealt with all the beatings and killings, and he was sitting in the imperial study chatting with Tang Jian and Duan Lun as if nothing had happened.It's not a small talk, it was Duan Lun asking Tang Jian for money, Tang Jian said no, Duan Lun dragged him to the Yushufang to make a theory.

"Your Majesty, this is the state of the state treasury right now. It's not that I'm holding back, it's that it's really gone. It's said that the Jiangnan Road has been raining constantly this year, and the river embankment needs to be repaired quickly. This can't be delayed. Henan and Longyou are plagued by locusts again. We must Hurry up to help, this can't be delayed, it's all about the national economy and the people's livelihood, please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."

Duan Lun became anxious when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, because there is no final payment, the Daming Palace has been suspended for more than a month now. Although the workers have been temporarily arranged to go home for the autumn harvest because of the autumn harvest, they must start working immediately after the autumn harvest. Before winter, if you can't After arranging the preliminary work, the construction period will inevitably be delayed. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin rubbed his brows, but there was nothing wrong.

It can't be that the people here are displaced, and there are big construction projects there, right?

Let Daming Palace stop first, anyway, it didn't stop working once or twice...

Poor!

It seems that throttling is impossible, and we must find a way to open source.

Just when the three monarchs and ministers were sitting and frowning, Wang Zi'an came, confused, he really couldn't understand why His Majesty Li Er was so anxious to find him here.

"I heard that you have settled down in Gaolaozhuang, and you need to build houses and schools. Why are you preparing to recruit disciples?"

Li Shimin didn't introduce Tang Jian and Duan Lun to Wang Zi'an either. As soon as Wang Zi'an entered the door, he raised his head and asked calmly.Wang Zian was stunned for a moment, and then realized what His Majesty Li Er meant, not to ask him to settle down, but to ask him to accept disciples.Wang Zi'an was staring at the name of a Taoist disciple who entered the world. If he really wanted to spread the teachings in the Tang Dynasty, he would be a very serious master.Since the Five Dou Rice Religion, the imperial court has been very sensitive in this regard.

"Zi'an is young and inexperienced, and he hasn't understood the teachings of the teacher. How dare he accept disciples? He just sees the children in the village, who have nowhere to go to school, and teach them some simple literacy and calculation, so that they won't be blind."

"Blind? What you said is very interesting. Since you have the thought, you should do your best, start well and finish well. If you need anything, you can apply to Mr. Tang Jian of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Establishing education and educating the people, such a good deed, the court naturally has to show it, Li Shimin pointed Tang Jian very simply, and introduced it to Wang Zi'an.Only then did Wang Zi'an know that the gray-haired old man in front of him was Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty.As for Tang Jian, he had an impression in his previous life. He knew that he was a good official who was upright and outspoken, and cared about the suffering of the people, so he quickly bowed his head to salute.

"It's okay to give gifts, but you don't have to ask for money. The old man's Ministry of Civil Affairs is so poor that it's about to lose its pants."

The old man chuckled and waved at Wang Zi'an very simply.The old man's words were so straightforward and cute, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but burst out laughing, he didn't expect that the previous and future generations would be the same, as long as they were in charge of money, they would knock on the door one by one.Duan Lun rolled his eyes angrily when he saw that the old man was acting like an iron rooster.

"I don't need money or anything, but teachers or something. If I have any, I can give two of them."

Although I plan to teach the children in the village, if I can get two teachers from Li Shimin, it will save me a lot of time. After all, I can't spend all my time teaching the children.

"You have to go to the Ministry of Rites for this, but the old man is helpless."

"Let's talk about this matter after adjournment. I called you here today because I want to ask you about the raising of your pigs."

Li Shimin waved his hand, interrupted the communication between the two, and asked very simply.

"Pig raising?"

Wang Zi'an was dumbfounded by His Majesty Li Er's question. This morning, he dragged himself from Gao Laozhuang to the Forbidden City in a hurry to ask me how to raise pigs?

"I heard from Ke'er yesterday that you know how to raise domestic pigs. The domestic pigs are big and the meat is delicious. Is there such a thing?"

When did I say I would raise pigs?
Wang Zi'an was a little speechless, he just mentioned it casually, but he was missed by others unexpectedly.It's just raising a pig, what's wrong with it?
"It's possible. I don't understand it very well, but I know it in general. The pigs raised in our place are indeed larger than those raised in yours, and the meat quality is much more delicious. At least there will be no such unpleasant fishy smell. And Since most of them are large-scale farming, the cost should be lower than yours."

what?
It can also be farmed on a large scale!

Tang Jian and Duan Lun rushed forward like cats smelling fishy smell, and their white-haired brains almost squeezed into Wang Zi'an's face.

"Brother, what you say is serious. The meat is fat and big, and the meat is delicious. Can it be grown on a large scale?"

"Yeah, how can we reduce costs without large-scale farming?"

Wang Zi'an spread his hands in a speechless manner. Do you need to ask such a reason?
"Oh, it can also reduce the cost of breeding—little brother, what's your name—oh, anyway, if you have anything to do, you can just contact me, Old Tang. Doesn't your school need a teacher? No problem, no problem, Just find the old man, the old man will go to the Imperial College today to find you some good in character and learning, you will definitely be satisfied!"

Tang Jian's old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he pulled Wang Zi'an affectionately, kindly like the old man next door.

"Bah—little brother, what is there to talk about with such a condescending person? Duan Lun, old man from the Ministry of Industry, come, little brother, let's talk about the issue of large-scale domestic pig breeding."

Duan Lun pulled Tang Jian away, and approached Wang Zi'an with a smile.Wang Zi'an looked at His Majesty Li Er helplessly, what is the situation.It's just raising a pig, what kind of set is this?
"You can tell the two ministers about the large-scale breeding of domestic pigs. If it is feasible, I will reward you for your merits."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't stand the performance of these two veterans, he coughed lightly, interrupted the embarrassing behavior of the two courtiers, and signaled Wang Zi'an to continue.In the previous life, Wang Zi'an had never raised pigs, but he probably knew something about it.Compared with later generations, it's not that people in the Tang Dynasty knew how to raise animals, they just didn't know the tricks.

"The current pork has a fishy smell, and the pigsty is filthy, giving people a bad impression. Generally, wealthy people seldom eat pork, let alone those rich and noble families. Therefore, except for some poor people who occasionally eat meat , The demand for pork in the market is not high. Without the demand in the market, the people who raise pigs will not be able to make a profit. After a year, the people are basically busy for nothing, so naturally they have no motivation to raise pigs.”
