Chapter 281 Li Tai loses weight
The news that the Cheng family bought a lot of sows also spread throughout the homes of many Dukes and the old generals. Niu Jinda and other generals who were close to Cheng Yaojin came to see what the Cheng family was doing.
Cheng Yaojin has been in a good mood these days and personally invited the generals to the house.
The spirits are in Kaifeng, drink them all your heart.
The generals talked about the scenery of that year.
Talk about the passion of the past, and started to compete with the sword.
For a moment, demons from Cheng Mansion danced randomly.
Jingyang
Li Tai helped Li Zheng pick up eggs in the farm together, and thousands of eggs were piled together.
"You said why the hens in your village lay eggs so hard."
Li Zheng picked up the egg and said, "That's because our feed is good and the environment is good. The hen will lay eggs when it is in a good mood."
"Is that so? When did a hen lay eggs have something to do with the chicken's mood?" Li Tai sat aside with exhaustion, wearing a coarse cloth short coat and no longer had the appearance of a prince. Even if this look was thrown on the streets of Chang'an now, when Li Tai shouted that he was the King of Wei, the onlookers would probably regard him as a lunatic.
Li Tai stood up and said, "I'll go and rest for a while."
This break was the end of picking up the eggs.
When I walked out of the chicken farm, I saw Li Tai sitting on the pile of wood.
Li Zheng handed him the water capsule and said, "Your Highness, you need to exercise more."
"sports?"
"It's just running more and sweating more." Li Zheng took the water bag handed back by Li Tai and said: "It's not a good thing to be too obese. Your Highness King Wei is still young now, but the older he is, the more problems it causes will be."
Li Tai piled down from the wood, "Okay! Listen to you! Exercise more, right? You are a miracle doctor."
Looking at Li Tai's expression, it seemed that it was not right.
"Your Highness, do you have any worries?"
Li Tai stretched his limbs and said, "I'm a little tired. I don't want to go back to Chang'an these days, I want to live with you."
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It turns out that His Highness the King of Wei treats me as a place to reconcile my mood."
Li Tai smiled and said, "Yes, change your mood. Now think about how clever you were when you refused to be an official. You were a little tired of factional struggles in the court, and a little tired of the intrigues of those people below. You said a group of people squeezed their heads and wanted to climb up. They were familiar with each other. There was a single-plank bridge and a sea of fire at the height of the sky."
Li Zheng also said: "People always want to move forward, fame, wealth, Jinshi and the history of the country are the dreams of many men."
"You don't have this dream." Li Tai said to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng said: "Although most people's dreams are not suitable for me, I have a higher dream than them."
Li Tai picked a tomato into the field and ate it and said, "Do you want to be the king of another surname?"
"The King of Wei admires me. My dream is quite special. It is not easy for a lifetime. Why not let everyone live a better life? Born on this land, the land under my feet raises me. It watches me grow up. I also have an ambition. First, let yourself make a lot of money, and then let everyone make more money, and work together to get rich."
Li Tai smiled disdainfully, "After all, you're still for the money."
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It's very simple, right, but it's very real."
Li Tai lived in Jingyang for several days in a row.
In the morning, Li Zheng shook his fan and cooked tea eggs in a small clay stove and said, "Your Highness the King of Wei has two more circles."
Li Tai was running around the horse circle and was out of breath.
"Hurry up! If it's slow, I'll let my dad cook for you!"
Li Tai remembered the dark food of Li Zheng's father Li Daxiong, and ran nine laps with his thick legs, holding the horse circle and saying, "No! I can't."
Li Zheng ate the tea egg and said, "There is still the last lap."
Li Tai gritted his teeth and ran again, "It's OK now."
"What's more?" Li Zheng said.
Li Tai said with a pale face: "You just said that you had the last lap, why are there still one lap now?"
Carefully peeling the eggshells of the tea eggs, Li Zheng said: "I mean there is still one more lap after the last lap."
Li Tai shouted and cursed: "I have already run ten laps. Are you bullying honest people?"
He handed the peeled tea egg to Li Tai, and Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "I'm kidding. Next, His Highness King Wei will walk two more steps. If he rests suddenly after the long run, it will be uncomfortable to get up the next day."
"I can't walk anymore, so please let me sit for a while." Li Tai gasped and sweated, "What you said is too painful to lose weight."
Li Zheng poured himself a cup of tea leisurely and said, "Just treat it as a cure. Now if you don't hurry up, all kinds of problems will come up when you get older."
Li Yifu took the booklet and said, "The county marquis now has more than 5,600 eggs, 1,000 chicks, and 2,800 sows."
Listening to Li Yifu's words, the scale of breeding in Jingyang County is not very large now, and it is enough to deal with yourself.
If you want to expand the breeding industry, you need more land. At present, the land in Jingyang is not enough.
After thinking for a while, Li Zheng asked, "How much do you think a tea egg should cost?"
"This..." Li Yifu thought and said, "If you want half a pound of tea and a pot of eggs... it will cost thirty cents per piece of egg anyway."
Li Zheng also thought and said, "It costs five cents per piece, it doesn't have to be too expensive. A small pound of tea can be cooked several times."
Li Yifu nodded slightly and wrote down Li Zheng’s request.
"Have you sent all the meat and vegetables from Longwu Army?"
Li Yifu replied: "According to the requirements of the county marquis, they have been sent there and they are all fresh that day."
"How many adult pigs can be slaughtered."
"More than 300 pigs."
After a glance at Li Tai, who was still dying from exhaustion, Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Kill five pigs, marinate them and make them into braised pork and put them in a winery in Jingyang to sell. The aunts in the village know how to cook braised pork."
"I understand." Li Yifu recorded the request.
"As for tea eggs, it costs 5 cents per piece, so the tea leaves you use don't need to be very good." Li Zheng thought for a moment and added: "Leave two thousand eggs to hatch the chickens, take out the five hundred tea eggs to sell, and share the others to the village."
Li Yifu wrote down Li Zheng's request again and asked: "Does the county marquis have any instructions?"
"Tell Xu Jingzong that there are eggs to eat when he adds food at the construction site of the road construction today."
"Okay." Li Yifu wrote down these requests and left.
Li Tai saw it all and said, "You have used so many eggs in the end. It seems that these hens that lay eggs won't lay eggs for you."
"Your Highness, this is a bad statement, and the accounts cannot be settled like this."
"What else can I calculate?"
"When the hens become familiar with the environment, they will lay more and more eggs. After laying eggs today, the hens will lay eggs tomorrow. After the hatched chicks select the hens, they will lay eggs together. This is not a simple addition and subtraction, and the benefits are exponential."
Li Zheng patiently said to Li Tai: "When we arrive, we will only have more and more eggs in Jingyang, and the scale will also become larger and larger."
After thinking about it carefully, Li Tai sighed: "Will your children in Jingyang have eggs to eat every day in the future?"
"That's right."
Thinking of this, Li Tai was a little upset, "I'm going to tell you, it was not easy for me to eat an egg when I was a child. On weekdays, my brothers and sisters would eat eggs separately. How could each person have one pill now? One boiled one pot."
"You can only eat more after living for a long time. Your Highness, King of Wei, still put weight loss first."
Li Tai was a little dissatisfied, "You Li Zheng played Tai Chi early in the morning. Why should I run around so hard?"
"Because His Highness the King of Wei is too fat, you can follow me to play Tai Chi when His Highness the King of Wei loses weight."
"Is this a fat problem?" Li Tai said: "No! You have to run with me."
"I'm going to run away with His Highness King Wei. Who will supervise you?"
Li Tai thought again, "It's right."
Li Zheng stood up again and said, "His Royal Highness of Wei is full of energy now and is obviously recovering. Follow me to the fields to weed."
"No." Li Tai said with no good face.
"Okay, you fat man, you can't eat for nothing if you don't work!"
Li Tai had to barely stand up and follow Li Zheng to pull the weeds.
"Although it's very tormenting, it's much better than the mental torture in the court in Chang'an, right?"
Li Tai followed Li Zheng weakly and said nothing, as if he was venting his anger.
Now that there is food in the court, Li Shimin has also begun to expand and has added 10,000 troops to the Hexi Corridor again.
Li Shimin is an ambitious emperor, from everything he did at Xuanwu Gate until now.
This emperor has always had a heart that surpasses the determination of all dynasties.
After an ambitious emperor gained strength, he always thought of sweeping across the border countries and achieving his own achievements in dominating the world.
Nowadays, Li Shimin is already ready to move.
Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Hall and was surprised to listen to Wang Ding’s report, “Qingque didn’t come to court for so many days, nor did he come to Chang’an, just followed Li Zheng to do farm work in Jingyang?”
Wang Ding nodded, "We are indeed like this after we went to inquire. We also followed Li Zheng to raise pigs and chickens."
There have always been many cases of royal farming. Since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he has had an example of emperor farming.
This reminds me of a reminder.
Li Shimin thought to himself whether he would farm like Qingque, which seemed to be a good opportunity to win over the people's hearts.
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said again: "What did Li Zheng do with so many hens and sows?"
Wang Ding replied: "It has been raised. The county marquis has also built a place called a breeding farm. The village said that children in Jingyang can eat meat every day in the future."
"It is said that Cheng Yaojin has also raised a lot of sows recently." Li Shimin thought.
