After a while, Du He asked: "You said you made a lot of money in Chang'an, where is the money?"
Fang Yiai shook his clothes and equipment and said, "Teacher, they are all here."
"all?"
"Yes, it's a lot of money. Teacher, you don't know something. Those dignitaries in Chang'an are not simple. I also thought about making some fake things to fool them, but they can tell the authenticity at a glance. For example, on me
This dress was made by the famous Sun family in Chang'an and cost two thousand guan. Ordinary people can't see it, but those officials can see it at a glance." Fang Yiai explained.
Du He: "..."
He resisted the urge to hit someone and asked: "Since you are so happy in Chang'an, why did you rush back in such a hurry?"
Fang Yiai said helplessly: "Teacher, you don't know something. Now every house in Chang'an has sent out guards from the house. They are looking for me all over the streets. There are still people who are eye-catching. Once they find me, they will kill me alive."
Beat him to death, if I don’t come back quickly, I’m afraid my life will be at risk!”
boom.
Du He couldn't bear it any longer and kicked Fang Yiai to the ground, cursing: "You bastard, it turns out you know how to be afraid. When you were swindling in Chang'an under the banner of me, did you ever think of it?"
Today? Your uncle has become more capable..."
After saying that, he was punched and kicked.
Fang Yiai, on the other hand, dodged and laughed.
"You bastard, why are you laughing?" Du He asked.
Fang Yiai said: "Teacher, I am not trying to deceive. I just want to improve my sales ability. I want to prove that I am the most powerful salesman in the Tang Dynasty. It is definitely not possible to deceive people. I want to sell people."
Can this be called a lie? Teacher, besides, I didn’t use your name, I just told them that I am your student.”
boom.
Du He kicked Fang Yiai again and was furious: "What's the difference between this and using my name?"
In the end, Fang Yiai was beaten until he looked like a pig's head, but he was still able to laugh.
Du He's hands were sore from the beating. He threw his shoulders and said, "Get out of here. Now you have become a street rat. Everyone calls for beatings. I don't have students like you."
Fang Yiai stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "Teacher, you can't keep your word. You said at the beginning that if I succeed in selling pigs, you will accept me as a student. Now, not only have I succeeded in selling pigs,
Now, my salesmanship skills are getting better and better. Teacher, I am already your disciple."
"go away……"
"I don't!"
"Who said selling pigs is a success? It's not enough. You can continue selling pigs. When I think you can be my disciple, it won't be too late for you to come again and become my disciple." Du He waved his hand helplessly and said.
"Yes, teacher, don't worry, your students will not let you down."
Fang Yiai is full of joy.
If you can't do anything else but sell pigs, who is afraid of whom?
…
In order to join Du He's family as soon as possible, Fang Yiai went crazy. In just half a month, he expanded the pig selling team of 30 people to more than 100 people. These people were all madmen. As long as he could
To sell pigs, you can do whatever you want.
Every day, dozens of extended horse racing vehicles pull piglets out of Huxian County.
In Hu County, more and more people are forced to start raising pigs.
It won't have much impact in the short term.
But as time went by, a problem arose: lack of food.
In this era, productivity was low, and there were no such things as later generations of chemical fertilizers. The output of food was very low. A family of five needed at least three laborers to barely have enough to eat.
Nowadays, many families not only have to eat, but also feed pigs.
Although most of the time pigs eat wild vegetables and the like, according to pig farm standards, they must be fed with grain so that pigs can grow fast and fat.
The common people were sincere and heard that the pigs could make money, so they used half a year's grain reserves to feed the pigs. By the time they realized it, the family had only a few months' worth of grain reserves.
Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, every household is beginning to run out of food.
If this continues, many people will starve to death after spring begins.
Chaos is beginning to take shape.
at dusk.
Ma Zhou was exhausted and took the carriage back to the county government office.
Without making any stop, he hurriedly looked for Du He.
According to Du He's arrangement, he went to various places in Hu County in the past few days to observe the people's conditions, mainly to see how the pig farming situation was.
Now it seems that motivating the people to raise pigs will only cause chaos.
When he walked into the yard, he found Du He and Li Ke eating hot pot in the yard. The smell of meat came to his nostrils. Ma Zhou sniffed and concluded in his heart that this was a young ox.
"Old Ma, you have worked hard these days. Is there any problem with raising pigs?" Du He saw Ma Zhou and hurriedly called him over.
After Ma Zhou sat down, he was not even interested in picking up chopsticks.
He said worriedly: "My Lord, if you let the people raise pigs, I'm afraid there will be big trouble... I have been to many places in Hu County recently and found that the people have begun to oppose raising pigs. The reason is that raising pigs consumes a lot of money."
After emptying their family's food reserves, many people have quietly killed the piglets. Some people even got angry at the piglets and threw them away, vowing not to raise pigs again!"
Li Ke slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up suddenly, and asked: "Old Ma, who dares to be so bold and dare to kill the pig? It's so wicked. You tell me, I will take charge of it."
The City Brigade will go and reason with him."
Ma Zhou: "...Your Highness, as the saying goes, it is better to block than to open up. Now the life of the people in Hu County has just improved a little. If we force them to continue raising pigs, I am afraid that in the end, people will have nothing to eat, and the pigs will have nothing to eat, and something will happen."
Big mess."
Du He ate two pieces of beef and said calmly: "I had expected this."
"Did the Duke foresee this in advance?"
"Yes, in fact, Hu County has been short of food for more than a day or two. Since the county arrived in Hu County and the implementation of the three major policies, a large number of people have begun to enter Anhu Avenue and other places, and the number of people farming has decreased significantly.
The supply of food is naturally insufficient... Nowadays, there are so many pigs who need to eat food. It is natural that there is not enough food..." Du He analyzed.
Ma Zhou hurriedly asked: "Has the Duke ever thought of a solution?"
"There is a way, but I don't know if it is feasible. Thank you for your hard work, old horse. Come and eat more beef. His Highness found this cow on his way back to the county town. This cow just jumped off a cliff and died. The meat is delicious. It is an extraordinary suicide."
After eating, take a good rest. Early tomorrow morning, you can follow me out of the city to find a solution!" Du He hurriedly gave Ma Zhou a few chopsticks of beef.
Li Ke hurriedly came over: "Teacher, I want to go too."
"Go, go, let's go together." Du He said with a smile.
After saying that, he started to eat happily.
Ma Zhou was really unhappy with this meal. He kept thinking about how Du He would solve this big problem, but he had no clue.
