What Li Min didn't know was that this matter had already reached the ears of Emperor Li Shimin.
There is no way, how could Jinwu Street Envoy not know about such a big thing happening in Chang'an City?
With such a crowded crowd, it is easy for a stampede to occur. Once casualties occur, they will be held responsible.
And the initiator of this incident was His Highness Prince Liang, who was always willing to break other people's legs.
They did not dare to argue with King Liang.
So, he immediately reported the matter to the emperor.
After Li Shimin heard this, he was also shocked and secretly scolded Li Min for not knowing the seriousness.
Immediately afterwards, Li Min quickly sent people down to maintain order for fear of triggering a mass incident.
However, after Li Shimin's people got out, they discovered that the congested streets had been cleared long ago.
The queue of people formed a long queue, and the queue actually spread to half of Chang'an City.
After they reported the news to Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
This irritation really doesn’t stop.
Presumably, this incident will inevitably cause those imperial officials to issue a memorial to impeach him, right?
But how did these censors know that Min'er was actually doing this to promote pork and let the people of the Tang Dynasty raise more pigs and improve their lives?
He did this not just for fun, but for the people of Tang Dynasty!
Li Min had mentioned this matter to Li Shimin before.
After Li Shimin returned, he also took various measures, but they never had much effect.
But this time, because Min'er introduced such a delicious way to eat it, it suddenly promoted the entire market.
Li Shimin believed that this time there would be no need for the court to publicize it, and the people would take the initiative to raise pigs on their own.
But, is the soup made from pig heads and pig offal really that fragrant?
When I have time, I will try it.
Since so many people are fascinated by it, it must taste delicious.
…
For three consecutive days, the No. 1 restaurant in the world allowed everyone to taste it for free, and all comers were welcome until they were all finished.
Three days later, Tianxia No.1 began to introduce new dishes.
There are more than a dozen of these new dishes, all made from different parts of the pig.
Although it is expensive, the taste is really unparalleled.
Moreover, even those common people, after getting the pork recipe posted by King Liang, went back and tried to cook it once, and found that the taste was really delicious.
Therefore, in just two or three days, more and more people in Chang'an City were eating pork.
In the past, when they didn't know how to cook pork and wanted to eat meat, they mostly ate chicken, duck, goose or fish.
But none of these are as cheap as pork.
There is a delicious and cheap meat like pork, so of course pork is the first choice.
Although not all families can eat pork every day, that is, they buy a few kilograms every now and then to satisfy their cravings.
But the population base in Chang'an city is huge, so there simply aren't enough pork sellers in these two days.
Seeing this situation, those smart people began to secretly buy piglets and began to raise pigs.
And every day, the villagers of Wucheng Village send several pigs to the First Floor in the World.
However, a pig has only one pig's head, one pair of pigs, and four pig's trotters.
A lot of these are consumed every day, but it is impossible to consume so much pork.
What to do with the pork that cannot be consumed by the No. 1 House in the World?
Because Li Min bought two shops some time ago for the sake of value, but they haven't opened them recently.
This time, Li Min simply took out a shop very close to the first floor of the world and sold pork there.
The price of pork is also very cheap, only two cents a pound.
However, those common people who have bought pork from Tianxia No. 1 Floor compared it with the pork bought from other places, and they couldn't help but find that the pork sold here at Tian Xia No. 1 Floor is more fragrant.
Well, the pigs raised here are all castrated.
Most of the pork bought from other places has not been castrated, so the taste is certainly not the same.
Because of this situation, in the next few days, the supply of pork sold on the first floor of the world was in short supply.
Those people will only go to other places to buy pork if they can't buy it in the first place in the world.
There are even some people who would rather not eat a meal than go anywhere else.
When this happened, in compliance with the market, the price of pork directly increased to three cents per pound.
Even so, demand still exceeds supply.
If pork costs three cents per catty and the price of live pigs is one cent per catty, the villagers who raise pigs in Wucheng Village will suffer a loss.
Therefore, Li Min simply asked the villagers in Wucheng Village to kill the pigs and leave the pig heads, water, and pig trotters to Tianxia No. 1. Li Min raised the price accordingly.
As for the remaining pork, let them sell it in the shop.
In this way, although His Highness Prince Liang no longer purchases at the price of one penny per catty, in fact, their income has increased.
Moreover, the pork market has always been in short supply. The tens of thousands of pigs raised in their four villages have no worries about selling.
Some villagers even continue to buy piglets to expand the scale of breeding.
However, the price of piglets continues to rise at this time, and it is also difficult to buy them.
Li Min, on the other hand, quietly gave Liu Shu a trick.
Their four villages have taken the first step in raising pigs.
While it takes at least a year for the pigs raised by other people to grow, they don't have to worry about selling their pigs.
But as more and more people raise pigs, they will have no advantage in the future.
Therefore, Li Min's trick for Liu Shuzhi was to let them buy sows now, give birth to piglets and sell piglets.
I believe that in the next few years, piglets will be popular and demand will exceed supply.
The profit from raising piglets is definitely much greater than raising pigs.
After hearing Li Min's words, Liu Shu suddenly became enlightened, nodded repeatedly, and expressed admiration for His Highness Prince Liang.
The King of Liang is indeed a prince, and his brain is very useful!
So, after returning, Liu Shu quickly organized people in four villages and started raising sows and piglets.
Although this cycle is long, they did some calculations and found that raising piglets is more profitable than raising pigs.
In the future, these four villages will become piglet supply bases, and people from dozens of miles away who want to buy piglets will come here to buy them.
Raising piglets has actually become a feature here.
Of course, this is all for later, let’s not mention it for now.
At this point, Li Min breathed a sigh of relief as the tens of thousands of pigs raised by his own people were finally perfectly resolved.
Because of Li Min's poem about pork, the people in Chang'an liked to cook pork in this way.
The dishes made in this way are affectionately called Liangwang Pork.
(Actually, Yanyu originally wanted to write about the scene where Cheng Yaojin and a bunch of old guys eat meat, but then I thought you guys would definitely talk about Yanyu, so I skipped this scene, and we only focus on the essentials:))
