Chapter seven hundred and fourteen preserved eggs and lean meat porridge
Du He turned his head, looked at Wei Shuwan, and asked: "Third Young Master Wei, Brother Wei is staying well in Hu County, and he is working tirelessly to ensure that the people of Hu County can eat meat. You come here with such force, and you want to kill Wei
Brother, take it away, why is this?"
Wei Shuwan curled his lips and said: "Humph, don't say it so nicely, what's the benefit of raising pigs? Since ancient times, I've never heard of the imperial court encouraging people to raise pigs. What's the benefit of something as worthless as pork? Besides, what's the benefit of a good man?"
You should read poetry and books, serve as an official in the court, and benefit the people of the world. How can you live in a pig house and deal with smelly pigs all day long?"
Du He was not annoyed, but asked with a smile: "Master Wei Third, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you."
"Please say!"
Du He asked: "Master Wei, do you know what the biggest dream of these people is?"
"this……"
"Do you know how many ways to eat pork?"
"I……"
"Do you know what the 16 precautions for novice pig farmers are?"
"you……"
"Do you know how long the growth cycle of pork is?"
"..."
"Do you understand how important the development of pig farming is to Hu County and Datang?"
"..."
A series of questions appeared, and Wei Shuwan was stunned.
He couldn't answer any of them.
The key is that this is not taught in the book, nor did the teachers at the Imperial College teach it.
Wei Shuwan was completely dumbfounded.
Snapped.
Du He slapped the table and said with a smile: "If you want to know the answer, go to the pig farm. When you figure out these questions, I will return your coachman to you and tie Brother Wei back to the Wei Mansion."
go!"
"What you said is final?"
"nature!"
Wei Shuwan waved his fist: "Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it when the time comes."
"This young master never lies. It would be best if you could persuade Brother Wei to go back." Du He said calmly.
Wei Shuwan said with certainty: "Just wait, my second brother must have been deceived by you, and I will definitely let him find his way back."
With that said, Wei Shuwan became more motivated again, turned around and walked out.
Looking at Wei Shuwan's leaving figure, Du He sighed with emotion: "It's great to be young!"
Ma Zhou was speechless and said: "County Lord, speaking of it, you are only two years older than Young Master Wei..."
"Oh, is it?"
Du He touched his chin.
It seems so.
Bah, this young master is so brilliant that Wei Shuwan is not even worthy of carrying my shoes.
…
Wei Shuwan rushed to the pig farm excitedly and was shocked at first sight.
This is different from the stinky, messy pig farm you imagined. Why does it look so prosperous?
Even the roads are much better than the alley in front of Wei Mansion's house.
Under the guidance of others, he soon met Wei Shuyu in front of a pig house halfway up the mountain.
Wei Shuyu and a few people were staring at a wild boar that was delivered this morning.
This wild boar was sent by the Guancheng Brigade. It was huge, more than half a man tall, with its hairs standing up like arrows. It looked very fierce and powerful.
wild boar
At this moment, the wild boar was locked up in a pig house. The pig house had an iron gate, and the iron bars were bent by the pig.
Wei Shuyu touched his chin and said: "This is a boar. It is the largest wild boar I have ever seen. It is best to be used as a breeding pig."
Liu Xiu, who was standing next to him, nodded: "What the farm director said makes sense, but this wild boar is so wild that it may be difficult to tame... The two hunters we just found, claiming to be masters of pig training, were both beaten by this wild boar and suffered.
Seriously injured..."
Wei Shuyu said: "The "Pig Raising Beginner's Manual" says that wild boars are difficult to tame, and it is even impossible to tame them in a short time. You need to figure it out slowly... However, there is no specific taming. It seems that we need to explore it ourselves!
"
Liu Xiu agreed very much, picked up a pen and his booklet, and began to write down: The huge wild boar is difficult to tame and is extremely powerful. It can only be outsmarted, not much stronger.
At this time, Wei Shuwan shouted loudly: "Second brother, on my father's orders, I want you to return to Chang'an quickly and stop raising pigs."
Half a moment.
Wei Shuyu slowly turned his head, saw Wei Shuwan, and said in surprise: "Shuwan, why are you here?"
Wei Shuwan quickly said: "Second brother, stop talking, come with me, and get out of here quickly. How can a man raise pigs?"
Wei Shuyu shook his head: "Shu Wan, you don't understand. Raising pigs is a major event that benefits the people and the common people... By the way, do you eat dried meat?"
As he said that, he took out a few dried mutton sticks from his pocket.
Wei Shuwan shook his head.
Wei Shuyu said: "Since you are here, come and help feed the pigs. We are short of manpower right now, so more people can help."
Wei Shuwan realized dismally that his attempt to convince his second brother was naive, as his second brother had gone crazy.
Helpless, he could only do the next best thing and record down the questions Du He had just asked one by one, preparing to find someone to ask them clearly and then let Du He fulfill his promise.
He asked: "Second brother, do you know what the people's biggest dream is?"
Wei Shuyu said: "You want to know?"
Wei Shuwan nodded.
"I'll help you first, and I'll let you know after feeding the pigs!" Wei Shuyu said.
Wei Shuwan: "..."
Although he was reluctant, Wei Shuwan still stepped forward to help in order to get Wei Shuyu back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
But this help doesn't matter, Wei Shuwan actually discovered that there is a lot of knowledge in just feeding pigs...
…
After sending Wei Shuwan away, Du He began to deal with government affairs.
It is said to be government affairs, but in fact most of the internal affairs in Hu County are handled by Ma Zhou, making Du He very relaxed.
What Du He needs to personally investigate are the three major policies.
The three major policies are related to the development of Hu County and Du He's own interests. Therefore, they cannot be careless.
At this time, someone came to report: "The county official, Chen Yifa and other seven family heads have come to pay a visit."
Du He put down the things in his hands, frowned and said: "Why are these people coming all the time...Forget it, let them come in."
Not long after, Chen Yifa, Liang Kai, Huang Meili and others, a total of twelve clan heads, all arrived in the main hall.
Du He stepped forward, exchanged greetings one by one, and said: "Everyone who lives in the county government office is really unexpected by this county. The county government office is now working in the fields to build roads, but it is very poor. It only has preserved egg and lean meat porridge to entertain everyone.
Come here, serve the porridge!”
The servants quickly brought twelve bowls of porridge.
When they saw the porridge, Chen Yifa and others turned pale with fright.
Nowadays, the county government's preserved egg and lean meat porridge is famous in Hu County.
Because many people were sent to raise pigs just because they ate this bowl of porridge.
In addition to the first batch of people who were arrested, more than 100 people have been arrested one after another in the past few days. I heard that there are already more than 500 people in the pig farm, all of whom were sent away for eating porridge.
The Guancheng Brigade carried porridge all over the streets like crazy, and invited everyone to eat porridge. If you didn't eat it, it would be fine. Once you ate porridge, no matter what your identity or status was, you would be arrested and raised to raise pigs.
For a time, Hu County’s talk about porridge turned pale!
