Chapter 94: A Priceless Treasure
After hearing Chen Zhengtai's words, Li Shimin was instantly excited.
Yes, there are not many people on the market to raise pigs. Although pork is difficult to swallow, ordinary pigs are just longer than sheep. The time for slaughtering and the amount of meat obtained from feeding are not enough to crush the meat sheep.
If this pig is just as Chen Zhengtai said, it will definitely be a blessing for the people of the world.
The ministers in the hall were also surprised and began to whisper.
If this is true, then who in the world is willing to raise sheep? What is meat? In this era, but a pound of meat is valuable. Ordinary people can't even eat meat all year round. The fundamental reason is that the price is high. The aristocratic families here are different from the wealthy families. They need a large amount of meat. The meat sheep raised in the manor is essentially for the use of high-ranking officials and wealthy families.
What is the concept of such a pig?
This concept is... with the same time and cost, the meat yield rate can be as high as four times, which is equivalent to the same acre of grain that can produce four times the amount of grain that can be produced by the same acre of land.
Many people were thinking, but more people looked unbelievable.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he knew that Chen Zhengtai was unwilling to marry his niece, and he couldn't help but feel upset!
My niece is so good. At first glance, she looks like she is a good parent. Isn’t she a remarried wife? Isn’t your Chen family also a slave of the three surnames? How many emperors and princes have you defected to over the past decades?
He then said with a stern face: "Does Chen Zhengtai want to offer good fortune?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall stopped talking.
Giving good fortune is not a good word!
This means that Chen Zhengtai wants to attract attention and deliberately uses some impossible things to vote for His Majesty!
No one is unsavvy. How dare you ask where in the world there is something that can produce 200 kilograms of meat in four or five months?
What's more, Changsun Wuji was not an ordinary young man. When he was a teenager, he suffered a lot because he was kicked out of the house by his half-brother. He had a good understanding of animal husbandry. In Changsun Wuji's view, Chen Zhengtai's behavior was suspected of attracting popularity.
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Mr. Changsun... Have you forgotten that half a year ago, Mr. Changsun had come to the Chen family with His Majesty and happened to see the pigpen of the Chen family. At that time... several sows happened to be pregnant..."
Changsun Wuji was stunned. He seemed to have some impression of this.
Although Li Shimin was excited, he still couldn't believe it in his heart. At this moment, when Chen Zhengtai mentioned it, he raised his eyebrows, and he also remembered the scene of that day.
Chen Zhengtai continued: "The pigs we eat now are the piglets that were originally from sows. Now half a year has passed, and the sows have gone from pregnancy to childbirth, and now, these pigs are already fat. If you don't believe it, I will order my cousin to come and see them for the eldest grandson's husband in person."
Changsun Wuji suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be...
He didn't say anything, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself in court. He wanted to beat him up, so he just let him go.
But who knew that many people were excited and said, "Yes, yes, it should be true to see it."
After all, most of the people join in the fun. Everyone wants to see whether what Chen Zhengtai said is true or false, let alone... many people have thought about it. If such a thing can be raised in their own manor, the benefits... are afraid that there will be a lot.
"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling, who had not spoken, put down his chopsticks and pursed his lips. Speaking of which, the taste of this meat is impressive. The mutton is fishy and smells not as good as that. He said seriously: "I also think it's better to see it as real. This matter is of great importance."
Speaking of the four important words that are related later, the tone is aggravated. It is obvious that Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin have come to the same place.
Li Shimin said excitedly: "Come on, come and see me."
Chen Zhengtai nodded and ordered someone to drive the pig.
After a while, Chen Zhengde, who looked submissive, drove a very handsome pig!
The pig is snow-white all over, with only the eye sockets, dyed black. The dark circles are like a stroke of a magical pen. This pig not only has a straightforward birth, but also has a little more melancholy that is rare in this era. It has a long nose and big ears in the middle, and its eyes are fierce and fierce. It hums and bows its head leisurely to find food.
Standing behind him, Chen Zhengde seemed a little helpless.
But when the pig came in, everyone was shocked again.
This pig is particularly fat, which is rare in people's impression. The pigs of this era are actually not fat, and are completely different from the image of the fat pig in later generations.
In the Tang Dynasty, people thought fat as beautiful. At this time, when they saw this pig being fat, the flesh on their body would tremble when they took a step, and everyone felt that it was particularly pleasing to them.
When Li Shimin saw the pig, his eyes were a little straightened and he couldn't help but say, "Is this a piglet still in the sow's arms half a year ago?"
When he said this, he looked at Chen Zhengtai, looking in disbelief, looking... he had been raising it for at least two years.
Chen Zhengtai nodded: "Mr. It's it. Should the teacher be called by someone personally?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, shook his head, and sighed, "No need, I just look at it, I'm afraid this pig is not less than two hundred pounds. There are such pigs in the world, and are other pigs the same?"
"That's right." Chen Zhengtai was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said with a smile: "This is raised by Ma Zhou and his student's cousin Chen Zhengde. If the teacher doesn't believe it, Zhengde, you can get your log."
Raising a pig... There is actually a log...
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, oh..." Chen Zhengde was at a loss. Since he raised pigs, the people around him no longer like to deal with him. Even his grandfather thought he was about to die and wanted to beat him when he saw him. In the past six months, there have been almost no one talking to him except Mr. Ma, and only these pigs are with him. Therefore... this has made Chen Zhengde, who is growing up, develop an introverted nature. When he sees strangers, he lowers his head and dare not show up. What's more, he meets the emperor of the Tang Dynasty today.
However, his cousin asked him to get the log, which relieved his embarrassment. Chen Zhengde hurriedly took out a thick book from his arms, which was an inch thick!
Zhang Qian hurried forward, took the book and sent it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was thinking in his heart that there was also a log of pig farming, which was a bit sensational.
So, the book was uncovered casually.
This book is dirty and has a strange smell.
But as soon as I opened it, I saw countless dense small words emerging in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was just careless at first and found it ridiculous.
There are various Lao Wang No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and so on.
But as I looked closely, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The feeding and defecation of each pig, as well as the performance of pigs in different periods, are recorded, among which there are comparisons of different pigs, such as the comparison of Lao Wang castrated pig No. 1 and Lao Wang No. 1, and the growth of pigs after different pigs.
Li Shimin became more and more impressed. He kept flipping through every page, and the speed of growing meat between different pigs, even summarizing the symptoms of the disease and the piglets after they died.
Special summary and experience have also been specially classified.
Li Shimin's expression became more and more surprised.
He quickly flipped through the book until the end, then took a breath and showed a cautious look on his face!
It was not just Li Shimin, even if Empress Changsun was watching her eyes, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Raising a pig... It's a book that makes 100,000 words. This... is so terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that even every pig grows meat every three days, I remember to see in detail and at a glance.
He skipped the record halfway and read it directly to the back. There were breeding pigs and castrated pigs at the back five months later. The weight was as high as 200 kilograms and as low as 150 kilograms. Overall, the castrated pigs weighed more and the breeding pigs were less.
Li Shimin felt a little surprised. In the world... there are still people who spend countless energy to think about this.
He looked up and felt that the world in front of him was a little unreal. He looked at Chen Zhengtai first, and then at Chen Zhengde. Chen Zhengde looked honest and dull, obviously not as smart as his cousin, but...
Li Shimin casually said: "Chen Zhengde."
"Here, now." Chen Zhengde responded in panic.
He was very uneasy. Since he was raising pigs, no one looked down on him. Now that he has been surrounded by countless people, he is even more ashamed, as if he can't raise his head and behave like he is a human being.
Li Shimin looked at him very seriously and said, "You recorded these?"
Li Zhengde replied honestly: "This is Mr. Ma who taught me the method, and I will follow his method..."
Li Shimin sighed: "Ma Zhou is really a talented person."
After he sighed, he was already convinced that the Chen family could indeed raise such a pig.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes bright, with an unknown light!
I’m afraid that it won’t take long to make this pig farming popular all over the world! And for Li Shimin, it has great benefits for the whole world!
In this era, everything needs food. People need food and drink, raising livestock requires food, and making wine requires food. If you want to raise livestock, the less grain and manpower you spend, the meat you get several times that before. This... What a great blessing for the world.
"Can this pig really continue to promote it?" Li Shimin said.
Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher..."
Li Shimin held back: "I didn't ask you, I was asking Chen Zhengde."
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
Chen Zhengde said tremblingly: "Yes...yes, there are more than 30 breeding pigs in Erpigou now, and they are bride these days..."
Li Shimin nodded, looking very relieved; "Do you know that having this pig is really a priceless treasure?"
