Chapter 1093 Raising Pigs and Eating Meat

After Wang Can sent envoys to various counties, he walked in the army.

When the war ended, the soldiers were resting.

Wang Can patrols the army and carefully checks the current situation of the soldiers.

After returning, Wang Can immediately summoned the main generals of the army, and found Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Lu Meng, Pang De, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Xiu, as well as the commanders of the navy Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

In the hall, the guest and the host sit down.

Lu Meng, Pang De, Gan Ning and others looked at Wang Can and waited for Wang Can to speak.

Wang Can went to the military camp for a tour, and now summoned them immediately. There must be something important to discuss. However, no one knew what Wang Can had, so he could only wait patiently.

Wang Can said patiently: "I walked in the army and found that although the soldiers in the army had food, clothes, and even had wine, they didn't have much meat to their mouths. We wanted to train elite soldiers, but it was not enough to eat enough meat, and it was not enough for soldiers to have a strong body. The meat must be replenished. I came to you today for this."

Gan Ning widened his eyes, but he didn't expect that Wang Can was talking about this problem.

Not only Gan Ning, but also Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Pang De and others were surprised and thought it was incredible.

It is great for the soldiers to eat enough, and it is whimsical to eat meat every meal.

Gan Ning smiled and said, "Lord, compared with the soldiers of Sun Wu and Cao Wei, the food of the soldiers in our army is already quite good. Let the soldiers eat meat every seven days. This is already very good. Do you have to change it?"

Wang Can nodded and said, "It must be changed. Eating meat every day is definitely not good. You must be able to ensure that there is meat every other day, so that soldiers can eat meat, and ensure that they have the energy to train."

Lu Meng frowned and said, "Teacher, although your idea is good, the soldiers will definitely cheer, but it is unrealistic!"

"Oh, tell me." Wang Can said.

Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "Yizhou's country is rich and the people are strong, and they have bumper harvests year by year. The people of Jingzhou have a wealthy family and have enough food. This means that all soldiers can eat and wear warm clothes, and there will be no shortage of food. However, if the supply of big fish and meat is too great, the army will not be able to bear it at all!"

After a pause, Lu Meng continued: "Think about it, if a soldier has half a pound of meat a day and tens of thousands of people in the army, he will need tens of thousands of pounds of meat a day. This is still a soldier from Jingzhou. Including Yizhou, Liangzhou and other places, it is simply an extremely huge place and it will definitely be difficult to keep up."

Wang Can nodded and said, "I know this problem, but if you want the soldiers to be more powerful, you will definitely not be able to do without meat."

Pound continued: "The lord's idea is finally understandable, but it is unrealistic."

Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin all agreed with Pang De's words, thinking that Wang Can's suggestions were unreliable. The army was huge and there were too many soldiers, so it was impossible to achieve Wang Can's words.

Wang Can said, "Listen to me, that's how I think."

"Please make a clear statement from the lord!"

Several people clasped their fists in unison, waiting for Wang Can to speak.

Wang Can said: "I am going to raise pigs in the army and let the soldiers of the army be self-sufficient."

"pig??"

Lu Meng was confused and asked, "Lord, what is a pig?"

Wang Can looked at Lu Meng in surprise and said, "Isn't the meat I usually eat pork?"

Lu Meng suddenly realized and said, "Lord, that's a pig!"

Wang Can also immediately understood and knew what Lu Meng meant. The nickname of Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was Liu Che, which means little pig. The word "王" is an elegant name for pigs, but it is not a popular saying. Wang Can smiled and said, "Pig is a pig, but this "王" is too rare and difficult to understand. We will use the "王" name to be catchy in the future."

After hearing Wang Can's words, Lu Meng and others were confused.

They know that there are many kinds of pigs, but they rarely hear the word "pig".

However, the few people could not resist Wang Can, so they could only respond.

Zhou Tai continued: "Lord, your idea is good, but it is not suitable. Think about it, most pigs are currently shepherded and placed in the forest for food on their own. Our army cannot be located near the forest as well. This is not conducive to the army and is not conducive to the training of soldiers, and it is difficult to raise pigs in the army."

In fact, although pigs were domesticated, they were still stocked before the Han Dynasty.

The pig farmer did not build pig houses to lock pigs up and raise them. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and even during the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, pig breeding methods gradually enriched.

At that time, the pigs were kept in a pigpen for captivity, and the pigs were cultivated in a short period of time.

At this time, pigs are still free-range and difficult to raise in a unified manner.

Wang Can's eyes rolled and said in a deep voice: "There are soldiers in the army responsible for logistics. They can buy piglets, build pig houses in a unified manner, and feed pigs in a pig house. In just a few short months, pork can be provided for use by the soldiers in the army. This will ensure that the soldiers are self-sufficient and do not need unified supplies."

Gan Ning thought about it and thought it was feasible.

Each army has logistics, so that the logistics soldiers can raise pigs, which can also be implemented.

Gan Ning stroking his hands and said, "The lord's method is very good. As long as you raise the pigpen, the soldiers will have a steady supply of meat, their bodies will be strong, their strength will be enhanced, and they will fight on the battlefield more powerful."

Guo Jia said: "Lord, if you really want to raise livestock in the army, you have to invite the people. The soldiers in the army are all rough, and few people can raise pigs. Besides, the soldiers in the army have always been proud of fighting in the above formations. Even logistics soldiers, there are very few people who are truly willing to raise pigs, so they must be deployed in a unified manner."

Xu Shu said: "When Fengxiao said that asking the people to raise pigs is also a big problem. If a very small number of people have bad intentions, the safety of the soldiers in the army will be threatened again."

Wang Can laughed and said, "When you say that, I think raising pigs is a good decision. Healthy soldiers cannot be used to raise pigs, but there are many seriously injured soldiers in the army who are unable to participate in the war. We can recruit these soldiers and teach them to raise pigs, which can also be regarded as solving the livelihood problems of some disabled soldiers."

Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise!"

After hearing this, the other people were in awe and held their fists to thank Wang Can.

Lu Meng, Pang De and others were the leading generals, and they were very concerned about the resettlement of soldiers, especially disabled soldiers. Soldiers were disabled on the battlefield. Although they could receive a pension and preferential treatment from the government, this was only temporary help and could not persist for a long time.

Wang Can's move, on the one hand, improved the food for the soldiers in the army, and also gave disabled soldiers on the battlefield a place where they could continue to live. Although not many people could be recruited, it was also a channel.

Then, the few people turned around and left, all going to deal with what Wang Can said.

Self-sufficient pig farming must have a fixed location, otherwise it will be difficult to deploy.

However, as long as it is implemented, it can always be gradually improved.

Wang Can's orders came from Jiangxia. Whether it was Zhao Yun far away in Liangzhou, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun in the north, Zhang Liao in Nanyang County, or Chengdu, they would receive Wang Can's orders to implement this matter. Wang Can solved the problem of eating meat by soldiers in the army and returned to political affairs.

In the study, Wang Can is dealing with business.

At this moment, a soft knock sounded outside the door.

Wang Can shouted: "Come in!"

The door creaked open, and Shi A hurriedly walked in and bowed to Wang Can, then said, "Lord, I just received the news from Lujiang. Sun Jian appointed Taishi Ci as the prefect of Jiujiang County, and left his third son Sun Yi to assist Taishi Ci in guarding Jiujiang County, while Sun Jian brought his army back to Wu County."

After hearing this, Wang Can immediately fell into deep thought.

Jingzhou has not been completely stabilized and it will take some time to settle down.

Wang Can looked at Shi A and ordered: "Shi A, please let Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu hurry up and stabilize the situation. After Jingzhou stabilizes, we will start to attack Jiujiang and approach the hinterland of Jiangdong."

"promise!"

Shi A clasped her fists and responded, turned around and executed the order.

In the study, Wang Can was the only one left. He closed his eyes and pondered, considering the issue of Jiujiang County.
