Chapter 199: Raising Pigs and Getting Rich

In the vegetable market of Luoyang City, there is meat that ordinary people can afford!

Fifteen yuan a catty, the price is still a little expensive, but compared with the previous sky-high price of hundreds of wen at every turn, it is simply not too close to the people.

And these meats are not ordinary pork, but the best lean beef and mutton!

The people are instantly the same as the New Year, more than a dozen dollars, gritting their teeth, they can still come out, and improve the food for their sons, not bad!

Soon the beef and mutton on the market were sold out, and in the face of the disappointed eyes of the people who did not buy meat, each stall clearly guaranteed that there would be a certain amount of beef and mutton supply tomorrow, and those who want to eat meat will come to catch up with the morning market.

And in order to prevent repeated purchases and preempting resources, when buying meat, you have to register your identity, and each person has to do up to half a tael per day.

This is a familiar operation...... Many well-informed people quickly thought of the interesting things in Jinyang City.

Grain stamps were used instead of copper coins for trading rations.

It's the Tang Dynasty Immortal Master's operation again!

But the meat is so good...... It is much cleaner than ordinary meat, the bloodletting is thorough, it tastes chewy, and the oil and water are full.

For a time, the people praised each other and praised the court for doing a good thing.

Such a one-sided comment made the scholars who originally wanted to find an opportunity to attack Li Ran's policy quickly die down...... If you pick a bone in the egg, you may have to be beaten to death by Li Ran looking for a chance.

And they're the beneficiaries!

Eating meat is always more flavorful than eating rice.

Li Ran also intimately posted various cooking methods about beef and mutton in major restaurants, what soy sauce and sesame oil are steamed and steamed, and the flower work is so slippery that people suspect that he is a cook at all.

"The people take food as the sky, and the voice of the people is the most real."

In the face of the admiration of the city, Li Ran was very modest, with a light and breezy appearance.

Invisible pretending is the most deadly.

Of course, only a few people such as Pei Min and Cheng Bo knew that in order to overwhelm those blind scholars from the perspective of public opinion, Li Ran found a rhythmic childcare among the people, otherwise how could he achieve such a consistent evaluation of raising hundreds of people with the same rice.

In any case, this hand was played brilliantly.

The matter of eating meat was even brought to the court, and even Li Xian proposed to improve the people's food step by step in accordance with the goals set in Li Ran's five-year plan.

Not only to eat well, but also to eat well, not only meat, but also other nutrients that supplement protein, vitamins, and so on...... Use 20 years to improve the physique of Datang people!

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and compared with the grand blueprint, an embarrassing fact makes Li Ran a little headache.

Meat can't be conjured out of thin air.

In the imperial study, Li Xian's urgent summons gave Weng and his son-in-law a rare time to meet alone.

"Ran'er, your slaughterhouse is doing a beautiful job, it's just that such a method of killing cattle and sheep can't last a few days."

As the leader of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian was not happy that his subjects could eat meat, but he knew the difficulties of being in charge, and seeing that the cattle and sheep compensated by the Turks were decreasing at a visible rate to the naked eye, his heart gradually became anxious.

"Well, it's going to be available for three months."

Li Ran nodded, he had already calculated the slaughter rhythm and set the number of people.

"What about three months from now?" , Li Xian asked again.

"By that time, the first batch of beef and sheep from the Animal Husbandry Bureau will probably also be slaughtered."

Li Ran replied easily and freely, as steady as an old dog.

"What, only three months to be slaughtered?" , Li Xian was suddenly messy in the wind, he was in charge of everything, and he really didn't pay close attention to the newly established agency of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, thinking that it was a good son-in-law who was supervising anyway, and he couldn't be wrong.

However, this result is also very awesome, isn't it?

"Could it be that you used immortal arts?"

Apart from this reason, Li Xian has no other explanation.

“…… Well! ”

Li Ran secretly rolled his eyes, and firmly endured the pain to deceive his father-in-law.

It can't be said that the master exchanged for fattening feed and hormone chemical products, it is better to say that it is immortal.

"Your Majesty, the Animal Husbandry Bureau breeds poultry, just to solve the temporary urgent need, its ultimate function is to provide breeding technical guidance and pest control, really to expand production, but also to establish farms, or cultivate large farmers."

just took this opportunity to teach the old man a lesson, although the other party obviously had a calf on his face.

“…… Virtuous son-in-law, doesn't this make the people eat meat? ”

"Master, it's not difficult to eat meat once in a while, but it's hard to eat meat at once."

Li Ran wanted to tell him that dietary standards are one of the key indicators to measure whether a country is developed, of course, in view of the advanced nature of the theory, he decided to change the most superficial way.

"From a normal point of view, it is more appropriate for the price of meat to be about six times the price of ordinary grain, so it is more appropriate to control the market price of a pound of meat at 10 cents per catty, and fluctuate up and down according to the different types and quality of meat, so as to better match the income of ordinary people in Datang."

Li Xian nodded mechanically with a confused face, although he didn't understand, it sounded so reasonable.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what kind of farm and big farmer should be established, and how should it be done?"

Li Xian's execution is quite strong, he just does what he says, and he is really a favorite father-in-law.

"Need capital investment and policy support, it's still early, let the Animal Husbandry Bureau assume some of the functions, cultivate a suitable for the Tang water and soil breeding cattle and sheep, and then large-scale promotion, at present, we can do it, in fact, it is pig breeding."

Li Ran smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Pork is the meat that is most in demand, and there is no one." ”

"So at present, the main task of the Animal Husbandry Bureau is also to breed fattening pigs, and the priority is higher than that of breeding cattle and sheep."

The goal steps are very clear, and after three months, after this batch of compensated cattle and sheep has been slaughtered, the Animal Husbandry Bureau can seamlessly find meat substitutes!

"Okay, good son-in-law, I support you!"

Li Xian immediately made a decision, and his firm eyes were touching, but Li Ran could only smile, knowing that the old man did not see through the difficulties at all.

Raising livestock requires the consumption of feed...... At present, Datang simply does not have the ability to supply feed on a large scale!

Therefore, the development of pastures must be started immediately.

The land compensated by the Turkic Khan is a good test field...... Every inch of land in Datang is valuable, and if it is used to grow forage, a crop with very low added value, Li Ran feels that it is a waste.

A letter was sent straight to the northern border.

I believe that my eldest brother can understand his strategic intentions...... The produced forage is continuously sent back to Luoyang.

If it is not enough, then it can only be taken from the Turks, and as for whether to use a knife or silver, it is up to Li Chongrun to judge for himself.

As for Li Ran himself, he was busy for a while, and hurriedly accompanied his daughter-in-law to have a healthy pregnancy.

It's been almost six months since she was pregnant, and Xian Hui'er's belly is growing day by day, so she has to hurry up and prepare for childbirth.

The world is big, the wife is the biggest, and other important work has to be put aside.

Li Ran even built a set of early education equipment...... There is nothing wrong with grasping eugenics and parenting from the starting line.

Three months later, the tense time came.

On this day, the whole Li Mansion was waiting for it solemnly...... The estimated due date has arrived.
