Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fists and thought to himself, even if I didn't take you with me, I haven't treated you badly all these years, right? Why don't you show any respect to me?
"kindness?
This old kid still dares to glare at me. Why are you clenching your fists so tightly?
Want to hit me?
Believe it or not, I will kill you with one slap!"
Lin Fan looked at Emperor Chongzhen and thought in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't say it yet. He said in a deep voice: "That's all, you want to be called a monarch and a minister. My father has no objection, but you have to remember that you will always be
my son!"
"Oh! This old kid has a very venomous mouth. I won't remember it. What can you do to me?"
Lin Fan complained in his heart, but said: "Your Majesty, there are still many things to do at home, so..."
"Fan'er, do you really not want to be alone with your father for a while?"
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I just feel sleepy and want to go home and rest."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Humph! You are in your prime and feel sleepy every day?
I think you just don’t want to see my father, but in fact, my father also has his own reasons!”
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Everyone knows your Majesty's difficulties."
Lin Fan said.
"Haha! Do you have any other reasons?
As an emperor, you are the most respected person in the world, but you are controlled by the queen and controlled by hundreds of officials. It is really frustrating for you to be the emperor!"
Lin Fan complained in his heart.
When Chongzhen heard this, he wanted to be angry, but couldn't find a reason to be angry. Finally, he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Lin Fan and said sincerely: "Fan'er, I have found a marriage for you. In the past few days, I have found a marriage for you."
I will give you a marriage on that day."
"Well! Your Majesty, I have no plans to get married yet!"
Lin Fan said in shock.
"Shit! This old kid is really looking for trouble. What kind of status do I have now? Do you still want to arrange a marriage for me?"
"You, the elders, have chosen women who are all good wives and mothers, from aristocratic families. Their looks are definitely not satisfactory."
"If I were to marry someone I don't like, I would be miserable for the rest of my life. No! Absolutely not!"
Lin Fan complained in his heart.
The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's eyes couldn't help but twitch. I am an emperor after all. Can the wife I choose for you be of average appearance?
She is definitely a rare beauty in this world.
Emperor Chongzhen coughed twice and said: "Fan'er, my father is very optimistic about this marriage. How about this. My father will let you meet each other in the past few days. If you are satisfied, my father will grant you a marriage!"
"If you are not satisfied, my father will find a reason to reject it for you, and I will never make it difficult for you."
Lin countered: "Your Majesty, we need to be more cautious about this marriage, so we should meet in person first."
"Okay! I will arrange for you to meet in the next few days."
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
The incident was considered over, and Lin Fan returned to the Lin Mansion after leaving the palace. Three days later, the preliminary construction of Lin Fan's pig farm was completed.
After all, Lin Fan's status was there, he contributed money, and the people from the Ministry of Industry wanted to make this money, so they naturally made the progress as fast as possible.
"Sir, this pig farm has been initially completed. The next step is to find workers to take care of it and put in a large number of piglets."
The pig farm was built, and Jin Yiwei came to report.
Lin Fan said: "While Baihu Division's money is abundant, we must rectify it as soon as possible. Now all the ministries are eyeing our money. If we don't spend it, they may want to do some harm to us and leave."
"Yes! Sir!"
Jin Yiwei said hurriedly.
The last time people from the Ministry of War came to Baihu Silai to collect money, they suffered from physical pain for a long time.
Although the money does not belong to them if it is placed in Baihu Division, people are like this. They cannot spend the money in their own hands, and they are not willing to give it to others.
With Lin Fan's order, the people from Baihu Division and Zhao Laosan collected all the piglets around the capital and gathered more than 5,000 piglets.
Of course, the money was not wasted. After more than 5,000 piglets were uniformly castrated, they were raised in pig farms. This matter also quickly fermented.
"Have you heard?
The pig farm opened by Emperor Wu Hou Lin Fan bought more than 5,000 piglets at once. This number of piglets is truly unprecedented!"
"It's unprecedented. With so many piglets put together, isn't he worried that the piglets will bite each other and cause widespread death?"
"I heard that all the pigs in the pig farm have been castrated. After castration, these pigs become extremely lazy. They only eat, drink water and sleep every day. No bites have occurred."
"Besides, I agree with what Zhao Laosan said. After such treatment, this little piglet can grow to about 200 kilograms in half a year, which is very amazing!"
"Besides, the pork doesn't have any fishy smell."
"Hey! Can you grow to two hundred pounds in half a year?
If you don’t smell fishy yet, who can you scare?
If this little piglet is really so easy to raise, this business will be easy to do!"
"Who says it's not? Let's take a look first. If this business is really so profitable, we will open a few pig farms in the future and we will definitely make a lot of money!"
The dignitaries in the capital heard about this and discussed it privately.
They observed for several days, and also sent people to observe around the pig farm opened by Lin Fan. They found that the pigs in this pig farm were really lazy and only slept and ate.
"Tsk! It's really like that!"
"Not talking about the fishy smell of the pork, or whether the pigs can grow to weigh two hundred kilograms, just because these pigs no longer bite each other is a sure-fire business."
"We will also open several pig farms!"
After discussion, the wealthy families in the capital decided to open a pig farm.
In this way, in less than a month, the farms of wealthy families around the capital were all converted into pig farms. When Lin Fan learned about this, he realized that something was wrong.
"Damn it! I have no problem with them opening a pig farm, but don't change the cultivated land into a pig farm. Food is the foundation of the people!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
This matter must be resolved by Emperor Chongzhen. As Emperor Wuhou, he would definitely be criticized if he forced aristocratic families not to convert farmland into pig farms.
Lin Fan had no choice but to go into the palace to find Emperor Chongzhen. When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Lin Fan said, he was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Fan'er, you also said that the more pigs are raised, the more pork will be eaten."
The cheaper it is, the soldiers in the army can eat pork, and the common people can also eat ethnic meat. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Why don't you let them raise it again?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't allow them to raise pigs, it's that we can't turn farmland into pig farms. This is a very serious matter and must be stopped!"
