Yes, it’s such a big pig farm. How many pigs can I eat?
I can't help but Tang Jian and Wei Zheng think so.
After returning home, I sent someone to the Shilipo Pig Farm in the west of the city.
Especially Changsun Wuji, he felt aggrieved because he didn’t even eat the last pork and leek dumplings, and he didn’t even have his share when the final ones were packaged.
"Go, take my post, go to the pig farm in Shilipo, west of the city, and bring in some pigs!"
Without you, Wang Zi'an, can I still eat pork with hair on it?
After thinking about it for a while, I got angry again.
"Pull more!"
Shilipo Pig Farm.
After receiving the promise from Chang'an Marquis Prince An to breed another pig at most, Bo Zhangqing, the head of the pig breeding department, and Qin Zhu, the doctor of the pig breeding department, had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they had not had time to rejoice.
Li Shimin, Tang Jian, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji grabbed the cart and arrived——
Ah, this——
Looking at the pig farm that had become so empty in an instant, the two victims almost cried holding each other's hands.
"Zhang Zhubo, Qin Yizheng, two brothers, please express your condolences and accept the change——"
When Wang Meng tied up a pig and threw it on the carriage, he patted Zhang Qing and Qin Zhu on the shoulders somewhat unbearably and comforted them kindly.
"Look, we didn't actually catch many here, we just got a taste of it—"
Zhang Qing and Qin Zhu thought about it and realized that there were hundreds of them.
Although His Majesty and Qi Guogong were a bit ruthless, the total loss was only a dozen, and the loss was barely acceptable.
Thinking of this, I felt secretly happy again.
Fortunately, it was His Majesty and the Prime Minister who came this time, and they were relatively restrained. If those murderers from the imperial court came, it would be really doomed!
However, they don't know that this is just a small beginning.
The real disaster started with their dear Majesty’s pig-killing feast at night——
Having this meal at Wang Zi'an's house today, Li Shimin enjoyed it from the inside out.
Not only because I ate delicious food that is unforgettable, but also because I got the thermos bucket that is now on the bookshelf. The most important thing is that the pig raising business has finally paid off!
Everything that brat Wang Zi'an said is true.
Pork can really be neither fishy nor smelly, and pigs can really grow between two and three hundred pounds!
People in the Tang Dynasty will have another way to make money!
And according to Wang Zi'an, it can also be fertilized and increase grain production, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Delightful!
There is no need to wait until the end of the New Year. The pigs have grown up like this. In fact, it is already completed.
Tomorrow morning, we can officially promote it nationwide!
Li Shimin was in a good mood and held a family banquet in the palace that night.
Not only the high-ranking concubines from the harem were all present.
Prince Li Chengqian, King of Wei Li Tai, King of Shu Li Ke, King of Yan Li You, and some other princes who had not yet arrived in their fiefdoms were all present. A large number of princesses including Changle, Yuzhang, Gaoyang and Jinyang also participated.
Li Shimin even specially invited his father, Li Yuan.
After Wang Zi'an's training, the skills of the royal chefs in the palace have greatly improved. Although they can't keep up with the chefs in Wang Zi'an's house, they can still cook according to the dishes they got from Wang Zi'an.
Give me a six or seven point foundation.
Unlike Li Shimin, who often comes to Wang Zi'an's house for food, these princes and princesses are extremely satisfied with their own emperor's father's chef.
At the family dinner, the family looked happy and happy.
I also ate with great joy.
This shredded pork in Beijing sauce is fragrant and sweet, sweet and fragrant, and has a fresh aroma of tofu skin and shredded green onions.
This braised pork is ruddy in color, fat but not greasy, mellow and soft, and once you take a bite, your mouth will be full of flavor!
The King of Wei, Li Tai, had a great appetite. When he encountered this unprecedented delicacy, he sat there and ate until he couldn't stop, especially the braised pork elbow, which was maroon in color, plump in shape, rotten and sticky, and fat.
It's not greasy, thin but not dull, fragrant and delicious, and it suits his appetite.
"Although I have a good appetite, I have never tasted such delicious food——"
Li Tai put down the big bone in his hand with satisfaction and looked at his father with shining eyes.
“I don’t know what this dish is made of, but it’s so delicious—”
I have decided to let people buy it when I get back, and I must eat it to the fullest!
Seeing Li Tai's question, the other princes and princesses, including Li Yuan who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but look over curiously.
When Li Shimin saw this, he couldn't help but smile and gently put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"All the meat in today's family banquet is made of pork——"
As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Tai was even more stunned, feeling his stomach churning and almost vomiting on the spot.
Ah, what I ate was that pickled and inferior meat!
Fortunately, he still had some strength. Although he felt sick in his heart, he still suppressed the feeling.
But some other princes who didn't have enough money couldn't do it and actually vomited on the spot——
Li Shimin suddenly turned black!
He was thrown out directly——
"What's wrong with the pork? This pork is neither fishy nor smelly, and tastes great. Even if ordinary people want to take a bite, it's very difficult for ordinary people to take a bite. You actually dislike it! Didn't what you just ate taste delicious?"
It's okay if Li Shimin didn't say it. But when he said this, many people's stomachs started to churn again.
But the fate of the previous princes lies there.
I held back forcefully again.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but lose interest and shook his head in disinterest.
"Father, could it be that this is the pork that Father had people raise in the west of the city? Even compared with mutton, I'm afraid the taste is comparable to that of mutton, and may even be better."
Li Tai suppressed the nausea in his chest and held up his hands with a smile on his face.
"I would like to congratulate my father and the emperor, and congratulate the people of the world. From now on, we, the common people of the Tang Dynasty, will have another delicious meat dish on our dining tables——"
When Li Tai said this, other people reacted one after another and followed suit, and Li Shimin's face looked a little better. Although some of his sons were useless and had been raised to waste, most of them still had a general understanding.
"Meat is divided into high-quality and low-quality meat. Some are just different in taste. This pork has oil and water, has a good taste, and can fill the stomach. It is a rare high-quality product. What is rare is that it is easy to raise - ordinary
Even if the common people don't have the energy to feed themselves with coarse grains, they can still feed themselves by being a little more diligent and cutting an extra handful of pigweed in their spare time. If they raise it for a year and sell it, they can also subsidize some household expenses..."
Looking at his unlucky son, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
This traitor is really a good emperor——
It was already obvious that my father wanted to promote pig farming.
Many princes with clever minds started to think about it.
what to do?
What else can we do? First let someone go to the Shilipo Pig Farm in the west of the city to get some pigs. Don’t worry about whether you like it or not, whether it’s disgusting or not, first show that you like eating pork and support your father——
The next day, open carriages went straight to Shilipo.
Zhang Qing and Qin Zhu:......
The two of them almost fainted from crying in the pig pen!
During this period of time, all my thoughts were focused on these pigs. I treated these pigs better than my own son, but it was gone in the blink of an eye——
These princes are a bit big in action.
The key is, they still make no secret of it——
Just like that, I came back from Ximen with great fanfare.
The people were dumbfounded.
Does our prince eat pork?
Ah, His Highness the King of Wei also eats pork!
Well, even His Highness the King of Shu also eats pork——
…
As carloads of pigs entered the city, the people of Chang'an were all stunned.
Isn’t this kind of cheap meat only eaten by ordinary people?
Those noble people actually eat this?
Then, the news spread again.
Not only these princes and princesses eat pork, but also the Duke of Qi, the Secretary-General of Wei, the Minister of Tang, and the particularly good-looking Marquis of Chang'an all eat pork, who just brought them home from the pig farm in the west of the city yesterday!
How could Li Shimin not know that his son and daughter had done something like this?
When he heard the news, Li Shimin, who was busy dealing with political affairs, frowned slightly at first, then smiled softly and waved his hand.
"Don't worry about it, just let them go -"
No matter what those little bastards were thinking, it was commendable that they could think of this step.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but put down his pen and gave instructions casually.
"I have given you a verbal order to ask His Highness the King of Wei to write an article about yesterday's family dinner and send it to Datang Evening News -"
Now that he has decided to promote pig farming, he naturally doesn't mind using public opinion to push him.
While Li Shimin's family was competing with pigs, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were competing with math problems.
Over the past few days, my growth line has gone back a percentage point.
I just didn’t understand the principle——
The two people stared at the two pairs of dark circles and couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.
"No - we can't deduce it. Our Marquis of Chang'an's mathematical skills are simply unfathomable. We'd better admit our defeat and come to ask for advice in person -"
Li Chunfeng scratched his messy hair.
In the past few days, in order to avoid being questioned by his brothers, he had been hiding in Sitian Prison for several days and did not dare to go home.
Yuan Tiangang nodded after hearing this.
"That's what I really mean——"
Yuan Tiangang said, stood up and began to pack up the calculations laid out on the floor.
"If it's possible, I think we can invite the Marquis to participate in the creation of the push-back picture - but I'm afraid they won't agree."
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly in agreement upon hearing this.
I have never seen such a person. He obviously possesses unfathomable numeracy skills, but he hides it and refuses to reveal it. Looking at his posture, he doesn't even bother to mention it.
Even if you are a Taoist master who values tranquility and inaction, you cannot practice such an inaction method——
"Let's go, I'm too lazy to date him today. If you don't explain it to me, I won't come back because of his family!"
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but rub his tired eyes, feeling fierce in his heart.
Mr. Wang Zhiyuan has been a bit broken these days.
What should I do if the cowhide blows out and the roundness never comes back?
I originally thought that I would be able to deduce the problem after a while, and with the help of inspiration from a group of talented young people in arithmetic, but——
No!
Two or three days passed, and I was scratching my forehead, but I still couldn't find a clue.
Poor Mr. Wang, in order to avoid being caught and questioned by students, he has been hiding at home for several days and dare not go out.
But the problem is, the year-end exam is about to begin, can I really fail all the students?
If that spreads out, I will be in great disgrace!
"well--"
In the study, Mr. Wang Zhiyuan sighed silently, touched his scalp which became even slipperier, and stood up with a heart filled with anger.
what to do?
Of course, to untie the bell, the person who tied it must also be tied!
Go find that old guy Wei Zheng!
"Today, no matter what, I have to get the answer from that old man Wei Zheng. If you dare to make excuses, I will fight him!"
I didn't even wash my face, so I went out with a shaggy beard.
When I walked to Wei Zheng's house, I asked if he hadn't returned home yet, so he didn't even go through the door. Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the steps in front of the door, basking in the sun and waiting.
Wei Zheng's wife, Mrs. Pei, couldn't help crying or laughing.
But knowing the temperament of his old friend, he had no choice but to have tea brought to him, and then asked his eldest son Wei Shuyu to accompany him at the door in person.
"Come, Shuyu, I will test your recent studies——"
Wang Zhiyuan glanced at Wei Shuyu calmly, and then a gentle and friendly smile appeared on his face.
Ha--an old man!
If I can’t take care of you, I can’t take care of your son?
The elders have to test their own knowledge, and the younger ones naturally have to listen obediently.
However, Wei Shuyu soon went crazy.
Uncle Wang was so crazy today that he asked a lot of math questions, and each one was more difficult than the last!
But, what else can be done?
Wei Shuyu was about to cry but had no tears. He could only stare at the surprised eyes of the people passing by, squatting on the ground and fiddling with his calculations——
Dad, if you don’t come back, your son’s forehead will be scratched!
At this time, Wang Zi'an was lying happily on the deck chair next to the martial arts arena, basking in the sun while giving instructions to his two apprentices on their kung fu, shouting from time to time.
"Everyone, stay alert and practice hard——"
Then, he picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth happily.
Wu Zetian's little girl, although she has just started practicing martial arts, has a quick understanding and practices extremely hard. In the winter, her smooth forehead is covered with sweat, but she does not seem to be slacking off.
Xue Rengui has practiced Xingyiquan to great effect.
"Master, I don't know when I can let my disciple see the halberd technique you mentioned..."
After practicing a set of boxing techniques and drinking water to wipe his sweat, Xue Rengui couldn't help but ask again.
Wang Zi’an:……
"Don't worry about it. When fate comes, it will be passed on to you naturally——"
Xue Rengui:......
This time, he really couldn't hold it in any longer, so he couldn't help but secretly raise his eyes to glance at his master, mustered up the courage, and tried it with some caution.
"Excuse me, Master, how should a disciple seek this fate..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
I do not know either!
At first I thought I could get it directly from you, but who knew, after so long, I still haven’t gotten it!
"Rengui, do you know what we are most taboo about when practicing martial arts or cultivating our minds?"
Wang Zi'an stood up and patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder sincerely.
"It's not that my master refuses to teach you, but the most taboo thing for us in martial arts is to be impetuous. What's more, my halberd technique is fierce and fierce, unparalleled in domineering, and the killing is too heavy. If you are not strong enough in your heart,
, I’m afraid it will mess up your character——”
When Xue Rengui heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame for his own shallowness.
