Gao Shilian had heard in advance that His Majesty was looking for someone to breed black pigs, but Tongping Zhangshi, Governor and Governor felt that this matter was unreliable.

Black pigs can't be eaten, this is an ancient adage, and they have also bought pork, except for cooking and smoking, they can't use raw meat to eat it directly after cooking it with side dishes.

Therefore, what we see today, all the tasting experiences, suddenly break everyone's concept.

If black pork is really so tasteful, once it is promoted to the people, the black pigs raised by ordinary people can become edible raw meat in the future, then the probability of eating meat among the people will be greatly increased, after all, compared with beef and mutton, pork is still relatively cheap.

In all dynasties, cattle were used for farming, so there were clear regulations that ploughing cattle could not be slaughtered at will, unless they were sick, old cattle, and injured, they could be killed and sold for meat.

The sheep need to be free-range, and they grow slowly, are not very profitable, and are not something that every household can raise.

It is easier to raise pigs, of course, in times of peace and prosperity, because it needs some excess grains to feed, if in the year of calamity, people can't eat, and raising pigs is not realistic.

At this time, the other officials also understood what Gao Shilian meant, and their eyes were focused on the emperor, wanting to hear His Majesty's explanation.

Luo Zhaoyun's serious expression was then retracted, and he said with a smile: "The ministers' remarks are very satisfying, the dishes on this table, regardless of what kind of meat it is, it is delicious, can be flavored, and has tonic benefits for the body, this is food, no one can blindly erase and turn a blind eye." As for this copper pot dish, I named it 'Pig Killing Dish', and the materials used are black pork that has just been slaughtered, blood sausage, pig water, big bones, etc., mixed and matched, using freshly pickled sauerkraut, and matched. ”

"I know that many officials still have questions in their hearts, folk rumors, ancient books record, black pork can not be eaten, there is a smell, poor taste, toxicity, etc., that is a problem with the breeding technology, resulting in the slow growth of black pigs, restless, less meat, with a smell on the body, etc., but now Dahua's Taichang Temple ordered Zhang Xingcheng to study a new breeding technology, so that the weight of the black pig doubled, and the peculiar smell was removed, and it became able to enter the daily diet with beef and mutton."

"Oh, that's a big innovation!"

"It is also a great achievement that has improved people's livelihood."

Gao Shilian, Xin Gongyi, Changsun Shunde and others were all surprised, and after sighing, they also gave a lot of praise to this Zhang Xingcheng.

Zhang Xingcheng, who was at the end of the banquet table at this moment, heard that His Majesty had justified his name like this, and almost put all the credit on him, he was immediately grateful, and his heart was excited, he knew very well that he might become famous all of a sudden, and he had the opportunity to appear in front of the ministers.

"Where is Zhang Xingcheng?"

When Zhang Xingcheng heard His Majesty's summons, he was excited, and immediately got up and walked out, kneeling down and saying, "Minister Zhang Xingcheng is here, listening to His Majesty's holy words." ”

"This new breeding technology, you explain to the civil and military officials, as well as the current production, weight, time out of the circle, etc., can it be popularized, and what are the advantages of raising cattle and sheep?"

"Yes." Zhang Xingcheng got up, and after feeling the gaze of everyone, his blood boiled, and there were more than 300 civil and military officials, and their eyes were fixed on him for a while, and everyone was in the spotlight.

"You all know that this is black pork, in the past, the black boar grew up for a few months, restless personality, and long-term captivity, not only the meat is firm, the taste is poor, but after our research, after the boar castration, the boar temperament has become docile, and can eat and sleep more, more obedient, fat is also fast, about ten months, the weight than before feeding, can be doubled, everyone eats pork, there are boars, there are also breeding pigs, there is no fishy smell, as long as the people master this technology, and then in accordance with a certain feeding law, I believe that this kind of large weight black pig can be raised, so it is not empty talk for the people to eat meat. Zhang Xingcheng told the story, said it clearly, and concisely, and did not make a long speech, citing scriptures, this kind of thing is to put it bluntly, in the early stage of a cutting technology, the previous ancients did not think of it.

"I see!"

After the officials listened, it suddenly dawned on them.

Many people even set their sights on the eunuchs on the periphery, this cutting technology, is it coming from the palace?

However, this truth is somewhat similar to the principle of eunuchs, but it is not difficult to understand.

It's just that the chief eunuchs, including Zhong Dequan, and many eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Office, after hearing this, their faces were a little uncomfortable, and they had some opinions about this Zhang Xingcheng.

Because of these imperfect people, my heart is becoming more and more distorted, and I have some rejection and hatred for this castration technique, and now I am using black pigs to promote, and I can't help but think of myself.

This is also the reason why Luo Zhaoyun did not say it in person, the method is related to himself, he doesn't want to put all the credit on himself, and an emperor invented the black pig castration technology, and if it is passed on, I am afraid it will not sound good, so that the people and officials think that he is not doing his job.

As a result, Zhang Xingcheng became the top bag person, pushed to the front, and was regarded as the developer of the new black pig breeding technology.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at everyone, and said with a faint smile: "Now you all know it, pork used to be unpalatable, because the breeding technology was wrong, from now on, pork is no longer a lowly meat, as long as it is done well, it is also a delicacy, just like killing pigs, fried pork liver, cold pig ears, etc., Zhongqing has also tried it, and I have also eaten it, isn't it a fact?" ”

"We understand!"

"Pork promotes the world, the blessing of the people of Dahua!"

The officials all stood up and threw their hands and shouted praises.

The admonishing officials who knelt in the middle trembled, bowed to the ground, and changed their mouths, chanting and praising them.

"Get up, take your seats, and continue the feast, the food is still hot."

The officials sat down again, resumed the banquet, learned where the meat came from, and their curiosity faded, although it was a little unnatural, but the taste was really good, and they were all thinking about whether to raise some black pigs in the house next, and slaughter a few in the future, killing pigs is really a good dish.

Luo Zhaoyun watched the civil and military officials get used to it, and gradually accepted pork, and laughed in his heart, this is a good start, after the banquet, he also announced that he would arrange a pig killing dish for the displaced people in Chang'an City, eat a meal of meat, open meat dishes, beat tooth sacrifices, and nourish their physique, which has also been supported and supported by the officials.
