Everyone turned their heads to Zhang Laohan, who is the famous "chicken king", who has 50 chickens at home and earns a lot of money by selling eggs every year.

Zhang Laohan smiled, and his dark face immediately bloomed: "The master is looking for the wrong person, so he should find the old man!" The old man has been raising chickens for almost ten years. ”

Leng Feng was overjoyed, and he was worried that there was no place to find chickens, so it was sent to the door.

Leng Feng unfolded the map of Zhuangzi, pointed to the pieces at the foot of the mountain and said: "These pieces of land here are the most barren, I have seen it, and it is estimated that the land is also planted with a gourd and two scoops, so it is better to transform it into a chicken farm." ”

Zhang Laohan shook his head suddenly: "Although my family is richer than other families, it is just worry-free about food and clothing, and I can't afford to build a chicken farm." ”

Leng Feng took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it to Zhang Laohan: "The silver is here, this chicken farm is not for you to build, but for me to pay for it." You can help me raise chickens, of course, you can't be busy alone, anyone in the Zhuangzi who has idlers can help, Zhang Laohan, you pay your salary! ”

Zhang Laohan had never seen so much money, and counted it with trembling hands before saying: "Since the master's family has ordered, I must do it well, I don't know if the master's family wants to sell eggs?" ”

"Selling eggs?" Leng Feng shook his head: "None of the eggs are sold, all of them are hatched into chickens!" At least not for sale until next summer! ”

A year's worth of eggs hatching into chickens? That's a lot of chicken!

Zhang Laohan couldn't help but say: "There are so many chickens, what are you eating!" ”

Leng Feng smiled and said: "We have to build a wine shop in Zhuangzi, and feed the chickens (crabs) on the wine lees!" ”

Zhang Laohan counted the silver again, and deliberately pulled Lao Li's head to testify, so he carefully carried the silver into his arms.

The drawings of the plots of land at the foot of the mountain were marked with the words "chicken farm", and Leng Feng took out a bag of silver from his arms:

"Anyway...... I also want to build a pig farm, a duck farm, ......"

On the way home, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you paying for these farms?" ”

Leng Feng shrugged his shoulders: "The world is going to be expanded, and the daily wine and meat are consumed quickly, so instead of going to the butcher to buy goods, it is better to raise them yourself." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, but Li Tai in the carriage dragged Li Ke and said in his ear: "Master is lying!" ”

Li Ke was shocked, when did his younger brother have the ability to distinguish people's hearts? So he looked at Li Tai suspiciously.

Li Tai snorted with satisfaction: "You don't know this, Master is always expressionless when he lies to outsiders. But when he coaxes his eldest brother, he always shrugs his shoulders. Like the last time he lied to his eldest brother that Hanako was something to eat, he shrugged his shoulders. ”

Leng Feng couldn't tell Li Chengqian that there would be a locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, and his father was still swallowing locusts in the imperial garden to make a big show.

The scale of the locust plague is not described in detail in the history books, and the location is only near Kyoto. So just a little reminder of Li Shimin, there is no need to make a big fanfare.

Spring is the season of sowing, and everyone from the emperor to the common people need to cultivate the land. The royal family had a very fertile land for the emperor and the princes and important ministers to cultivate, so that the emperor could experience the hardships of the people.

took off his dragon robe, Li Shimin, who was wearing linen clothes, was still burly, and the sweat drops of beans were dripping on the Quyuan plough from time to time, and there was no appearance of the emperor pampering him.

Li Chengqian led the cow in front, the queen sowed seeds, and Li Tai cultivated the soil.

It is said that the emperor is the best actor, but the emperor who can't even act is definitely not a good emperor.

After plowing from early morning to noon, Li Shimin returned to the shed sweating profusely and gave the important minister millet rice, which he himself ate without any preferential treatment.

The ministers are like this, as long as it is given by the emperor, the cement can also be eaten with relish. Therefore, in the spring ploughing ceremony, no one brought rice, and they all waited for the emperor to give food.

Leng Feng got the title of "Duke of Xiguo" after Li Shimin ascended the throne, and there was no fief and no real power.

Guogong needs to plant three acres of land! For the sake of his own body, Leng Feng directly perfected the Quyuan plough that Li Tai had studied halfway.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw the new farm tools, and he had to experiment in person, so Leng Feng's piece of land also belonged to Li Shimin.

"This curved plow is good! It is very labor-saving, looking at the relaxed appearance of the cows, it is estimated that it can also be cultivated with mules and horses. Our Datang cattle are always insufficient, and with this curved plow, the people don't have to rely too much on cattle for farming. ”

The words are very worried about the country and the people, but his dignified emperor's hand is very dishonest, a fat chicken on Leng Feng's table was brought to his wife and children behind him by Li Shimin, and the spout of the wine pot also entered Li Shimin's mouth.

"Haha, the wine you have downstairs is superb, I'm tired, drink some wine and rest."

Leng Feng asked mockingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison it?" ”

Li Shimin laughed: "I will guard against the people of the world, but I will not guard against the people I can rest assured of, and you happen to be one of them." ”

Leng Feng threw a broad bean into his mouth, pointed to his face and said: "I can't help Zhang Zhongqing's face, when I had materials before, I might be able to help him make a fake face to cover his face, which is much better than an iron mask, but Datang doesn't have that kind of material." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "I owe Zhang Zhongqing a lot!" Xuanling Keming and they can be regarded as famous, but Zhongqing can only walk in the dark for me. ”

Leng Feng remembered his former mission, pondered for a long time before saying: "Someone has to do dirty things, although Zhang Zhongqing can't leave a name in history, but his flesh and blood have been integrated into the country of Datang, nourishing Datang to become rich and strong." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still weaker, and the conquest of the Eastern Turks will consume the entire Guanzhong government stockpile. Looking around, there are still many strong enemies eyeing you! ”

"There is not enough food to eat, one is because of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the other is because the people will not grow grain correctly. I'll help you with this in the next few years! ”

After speaking, Leng Feng pointed to Li Chengqian in the distance.

At the beginning, Li Chengqian made a bet with Si Nong Si Qing, so there was a piece of land here that was specially used as a trial for them.

The Tianzihao field is divided into two, with Sinong Temple and Li Chengqian each half.

Sinong Temple is responsible for persuading farmers and cultivating good seeds, so they plant excellent varieties of wheat, and fertilize and apply plant ash.

Li Chengqian planted very casually, that is, the seeds left by the people last year, but Li Chengqian not only planted wheat, but also planted a row of soybeans every two rows of wheat. Fertilization is fertilization.

Si Qing of Sinong Temple sneered: "How can such a pickled and filthy thing fertilize the land." Food and people are in general, what they eat and what they supplement, and plant ash is the best fertilizer. ”

Li Chengqian said proudly: "You will know how the results are after the autumn!" ”

Li Shimin trusted Leng Feng very much, so he asked: "Can human and animal manure really fertilize the field?" ”

Leng Feng picked up a piece of grass from the ground and said, "How can it be stronger than grass and wood ash, think about it, the grass and trees are burning, emitting light and heat, how many things are left?" ”

Li Shimin also felt that it was very reasonable, he had just drunk a pot of wine, eaten two bowls of millet rice and half a roast chicken, and now his strength has recovered.

He picked up the zigzag plow by the shed, shouted and went down to the ground.
