Chapter seven hundred and seventy-third on meritorious deeds
But Du He stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu and Wei Shuwan are two young masters who are responsible for the big project of our pig farm in Hu County. Although I am the county magistrate, the affairs I handle are extremely complicated. It is impossible for everything to be done smoothly." Holding everything in hand, big and small, especially this pig farm, is a new business. When the pig farm was first built, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done. I worked hard and slept night and day, tossing and turning. Fortunately, Brother Wei helped me, and all the big and small things were done by me. He took care of it, and then Young Master Wei took the initiative to join the pig farm and became Brother Wei's right-hand man. These two brothers are the backbone of the pig farm. If your majesty has anything to ask, you can naturally ask them."
Wei Zheng grabbed Du He's sleeve and said angrily: "Du He, don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
"Master Wei, what do you mean by this? Nowadays, the pig farm has so much credit, and it all belongs to the second young master Wei and the third young master Wei. The biggest advantage of me is that I am not greedy for credit." Du He said with a smile. , "Also, Mr. Wei, take your hand away. I just saw Liu Xiu grabbing your hand. A moment ago, Liu Xiu had pig shit in his hand. Sorry, I have mysophobia!"
"you……"
Wei Zheng flicked his sleeve angrily, trying to persuade Li Er.
However, Li Er was very interested in the pig farm, so he sent someone to call Wei Shuwan and Wei Shuyu over.
When Wei Zheng saw his two sons, they were originally fair and fat, but now they were as tanned as briquettes. They were dressed in shabby clothes and looked dull. His heart was broken. It was all because of this bitch Du He.
"I have met His Majesty!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu and Wei Shuwan came forward to greet Li Er.
Li Er asked with a smile: "No need to be polite, Wei Shuwan, I just heard someone say that when feeding pigs, you need to eat hot pig food to be nutritious. This is the first time I have heard that this What’s the allusion to it?”
Wei Shuwan said calmly and generously: "Your Majesty, the word nutrition has no allusion. It was invented by Brother Du. Nutrition refers to the amount of energy in food. Of course, I don't know much about this energy. I heard that Brother Du Yuan Qingfeng, the top disciple of Yuan Qingfeng, has been studying energy recently, but it has little to do with food... After I arrived at the pig farm, I specialized in studying pig nutrition. To put it bluntly, I studied how to feed pigs to make them grow faster and have better meat quality. More delicious... As your Majesty mentioned just now, I conducted an experiment. Ten piglets that were just one month old were fed the same pig food, five of which were fed with hot pig food, and the other five were fed with cold pig food. After half a month, , Pigs that eat hot pig food weigh about five kilograms more on average than pigs that eat cold pig food. I have done this experiment many times, and the results are the same every time. Therefore, it can be determined that feeding pigs with hot pig food is heavier than pigs that eat cold pig food. It’s better to feed cold pig food.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Although I didn’t understand it very well.
But I feel that Wei Shuwan is very awesome.
Li Er added: "I think what you said makes sense, but is this all about pig nutrition?"
If it were just that, wouldn't it be too simple?
Wei Shuwan smiled and said: "What your Majesty is asking is that the nutrition of pigs is much more than that. The most difficult problem is how to match food. I once discussed with Brother Du why pig farmers have not been able to raise pigs since ancient times. Most people don't want to raise pigs. Brother Du told me that because food is scarce and even people can't eat enough, how can they get enough food to raise pigs? Pigs are no better than cattle and sheep. Cows and sheep can grow meat by eating grass, but pigs must Eat grain, otherwise you will be like the wild boar in the mountains, malnourished and skinny. Such a pig tastes like chewing wax and is very unpalatable... Now, what I am studying is how to match food to ensure that the pig eats It grows quickly, grows well, and can save food."
Du He added: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Before Young Master Wei came to the pig farm, the daily cost of raising ten adult pigs was about fifteen cents. Now, Young Master Wei is a pig farmer of different ages. Pigs have customized nutritional recipes, and the cost has dropped directly to about eight cents, or even five cents. In the past, it took one to two years for people to raise pigs before they could be slaughtered. However, pigs raised in pig farms can be raised in as little as ten cents at the fastest. Months, and with Master Wei San's recipe, most pigs can be slaughtered in eight months, and some pigs even grow to more than two hundred kilograms in five or six months."
Now, everyone understood.
Firstly, it can save money, and secondly, it can make pigs grow faster.
This ability is so terrifying!
Only Wei Zheng, seeing Du He working so hard to introduce Wei Shuwan, thought that Du He was planning to trick his son, and he was simmering with anger.
Li Er turned around and looked at Wei Shuyu, "Shuyu, I watched you grow up. Now, Liu Qing's family is studying intractable diseases of pigs, and Shuwan is studying pig nutrition. What are you studying?" "
Wei Shuyu chuckled and said honestly: "Your Majesty, I am stupid and don't know how to study. I just saw that the people were eating pork, and I felt happy. I saw that these pigs were growing well, and I was also happy. Thank you Brother Du for giving me face. I was made the director of this pig farm, and everyone was willing to help me, so the pig farm developed well. It was all thanks to everyone, but I did nothing."
Li Er originally thought that Wei Shuyu was dull and incapable of success.
Unexpectedly, what he said made him look at him with admiration.
It is difficult to manage such a large pig farm, let alone manage it well, without causing trouble.
And for Wei Shuyu to be able to do so well, there must be something special about him.
Nowadays, this guy is not greedy for merit, which is really rare.
Li Er glanced at Wei Zheng who was hiding behind the crowd, and suddenly said: "I took a look at this pig farm today. It is indeed extraordinary. Come and pass on my decree. Wei Shuyu has made great contributions in running the pig farm, and I have given it to Baishui County." Wei Shuwan was awarded the title of Fengxian County Prince for his meritorious service in studying the nutrition of pigs. Dai Jinyun made pork and promoted pork production and was granted the title of Xiayang County Prince. Liu Xiu, the imperial censor, was awarded the title of Fengxian County Prince for his meritorious service in studying pig nutrition. All matters concerning the imperial court, large and small, will be handled by the provincial government after returning to Chang'an."
Quiet.
The scene immediately became quiet.
Everyone was stunned.
The most confused person is undoubtedly Wei Zheng.
He was still scolding Du He in his heart just now, but he didn't know that in the blink of an eye, he would have two more counties?
Although Xianzi is the youngest marquis, but now that the world is at peace, except for relatives of the emperor, it is impossible to obtain the title without major achievements such as military exploits.
However, Wei Shuyu and Wei Shuwan are not the eldest sons of the Wei family, so they cannot inherit the title of Wei. They will have no hope of winning the title in this life.
Who would have thought that you could get a knighthood by raising pigs?
Is this the weirdest thing in the world?
Many people can’t even react for a while!
At this time, Changsun Hong ran out from behind Changsun Wuji and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and me, and me?"
