The westernmost part of the West Market is the Cattle and Horse Market and the Agricultural Products Market, where all kinds of feces and sweat are mixed together, and the smell is terrible.

During this time, the Chu Wangfu went crazy purchasing, which directly affected the market supply here.

"Bring me five eggs."

A woman came to a familiar shop with a bamboo basket and took out ten cents to the store.

"Lady of the Liu family, I'm sorry, I'm still five cents away! You are an old customer in the shop, I will give you a penny free, and you can make up another four pennies. ”

"Huh? Hasn't it always been two pennies an egg? How is it not enough? ”

"Hey, it's been ten days ago for two pennies a piece, and now in the entire West Market, you can't buy eggs for two pennies a piece; If you can find it, hey, then you have to be careful, nine times out of ten this egg is broken. ”

"Why did the price increase in a good way?" Although it was just an egg that went up by a penny, there is no doubt that for the lady of the Liu family, this money really affected her decision.

"That'...... Then I'll have three. ”

"It's okay, I'll pay you back!"

……

During this time, the Chu Wangfu was crazy to buy all kinds of eggs, but if it is crazy, it is actually just the purchase of tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and goose eggs.

In Li Kuan's opinion, it was really speechless for such a big Chang'an City to acquire such a few eggs in a few days.

This also indirectly shows that the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty are really not good, even if it is the so-called prosperous period of Zhenguan in history.

"Lord Wang, there are too many eggs, we don't have so many hens to hatch." Laifu looked at the pile of eggs like a hill in front of him, and his face showed sadness.

The people of Chang'an City do not raise many chickens and ducks, that is, the farmers outside the city will raise a few to lay eggs, but they will not easily sell them in the market.

Now that it is full, the Chu Wangfu has also bought thousands of hens, and half of them can enter the mode of incubating chicks.

Faced with tens of thousands of eggs of all kinds, Rifle felt a little at a loss.

"It's okay, there aren't so many hens, and anyway, the king is not ready to hatch chicks with hens." As Li Kuan spoke, he held a thermometer that had been exchanged from the system, ready to measure the temperature of the hen.

This broken system, if only it could be directly exchanged for a bunch of chickens and ducks.

However, Li Kuan's eyes were blind and he didn't find anything alive in the item exchange interface, there are some eggs and duck eggs, if this hatching is successful, you can consider exchanging a batch, but it's a bit too wasteful of points.

"Huh? Lord, don't use hens? That...... So how do you hatch these eggs? ”

Laifu looked at Li Kuan blankly, no need for hens to hatch eggs, isn't it a fantasy?

"Didn't I let you build a few separate rooms these days?"

"Lord Wang, are you talking about the house below that specially laid what kind of heating pipes?" Laifu turned his mind desperately in circles, but he didn't come up with anything to do with hatching eggs.

At that time, Laifu saw that Li Kuan specially asked people to cast copper pipes and lay them in these houses, and thought that they were going to be used for something, but they didn't expect it......

"Which one else is there besides?" Li Kuan said as he took the hen from Wang Xuanwu's hand.

"Forty-one degrees and five?"

The system could only exchange very primitive thermometers, and it took Li Kuan a while to determine that the hen's body temperature was forty-five degrees.

"Lord Wang? What forty-one degree five? ”

Qing'er watched curiously as Li Kuan stood in the chicken shed and was busy.

"You don't understand it, I'll explain it to you later."

After Li Kuan finished speaking, he walked to the special conservatories and confirmed the temperature inside.

"The body temperature of the hen is only 41.5 degrees, so the conduction to the eggs will definitely decrease. But by how much has it dropped? ”

Li Kuan frowned and thought, although it was the first time to do this artificial incubation, but the temperature was not high or low, Li Kuan still understood this truth.

"Forget it, these three rooms, one is adjusted to 40 degrees, one is adjusted to 39 degrees, and one is adjusted to 38 degrees, so these three temperatures are not suitable, right?"

Li Kuan quickly paid attention, anyway, the cost of failure is not very high, but once it succeeds, chickens, ducks and geese will have the basic conditions for large-scale breeding in the future.

"By the way, didn't Your Majesty release another group of eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace recently? I asked Gonggong Lan to arrange a group of people to go to the Chu Palace, have these people arrived? Li Kuan turned around and asked Wang Xuance on the side.

"Lord Wang, they all arrived yesterday and arranged in the palace in the city, but ......" Wang Xuance stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

"Lord, this time Gonggong Lan only arranged an elderly palace maid, it is said that she is still a female official in the palace, and the rest of the twenty or so are all eunuchs......"

"An elderly female officer? The female official is better and has management experience, so she is just allowed to assist Qing'er in managing the maids in the family! Li Kuan said disappreciatively.

"No, lord, I didn't mean this female official. I mean these eunuchs...... Why do we want so many eunuchs in our palace? Isn't the prince afraid of taboos? ”

Wang Xuance plucked up the courage and finally spoke out his worries.

"Since Your Majesty released these eunuchs from the palace, he originally hoped that the various clans could give them a way to live. Our newly built pig and chicken farm is in need of manpower, and those eunuchs are used to serving people, so let them serve these animals, and they should be able to get started quickly. ”

"It's true that ordinary eunuchs are like this, but there is actually an old eunuch in the worship room, who has been responsible for purifying people in the silkworm room all his life, what do we want him to do?"

Wang Xuance didn't understand why Li Kuan specifically looked for these old, weak, sick and disabled people who were eliminated from the palace, these people are not easy to use, and they are easy to be gossiped about if they are not careful, where is there a market to buy a few slaves and come back to use?

"Huh? Are you saying that one of these eunuchs was specifically responsible for giving people cleansing? Li Kuan looked at Wang Xuance's bottom while speaking, which made Wang Xuance goosebumps.

"Lord Wang, indeed...... There is indeed one. ”

"Great, don't you say that I didn't expect it, we just need such a character here, maybe Doctor Sun is also interested in him."

Li Kuan always felt that he seemed to be missing something, and after Wang Xuance mentioned the eunuch in charge of purification, he remembered that the boars and roosters in later generations had to be castrated to grow well.

Whether it's a boar or a rooster, they are all active and aggressive, and eating something is all consumed by exercise.

It's like a gelding pig, almost just eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and is devoted to growing meat, no wonder it can grow white and fat.
