Zhu Houzhao looks much more capable!

Since everything must be done personally, Liu Jin is not allowed to interfere in ordinary chores.

Laundry, fire, cooking, and even sewing clothes are now proficient in everything.

The next day, someone came to the palace and sent a lot of food from the palace, all kinds of rare preserved fruits and pastries, and there were several baskets.

One was given to Zhu Houzhao, and the other was given to Fang Jifan.

Zhu Houzhao looked annoyed, there are a lot of things, but it's still not enough, after all, there are many people here in Xishan.

However, the eunuch pulled Fang Jifan aside, and when Zhu Houzhao saw it, he immediately became vigilant, and hurriedly followed, staring straight at the eunuch.

The eunuch didn't dare to talk to Fang Jifan anymore, but said: "Your Majesty has an edict to Uncle Xinjian, and Your Majesty said that Uncle Xinjian takes care of the prince and works hard to ...... it."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly had blue tendons on his forehead, and his face turned red!

What? Who cares for whom?

Fang Jifan is still very moral, and when he heard it, he felt that it was wrong, what did he call him to take care of the prince?

Does the prince still need to be taken care of? Your Majesty obviously doesn't know the prince well!

So Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Please go back to your majesty, and say that the minister is very ashamed, in fact, the minister has a brain disease, and there have been occasional signs of recurrence recently, thanks to the care of His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the matter of the minister taking care of the prince, it is purely imaginary, and the minister does not dare to be it, and he can't afford it." ”

Zhu Houzhao listened to Fang Jifan's words, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, his anger disappeared suddenly, and he grinned: "Yes, yes, go back and play like this." ”

The little eunuch glanced at Fang Jifan with difficulty, then at the crown prince, and hesitated.

"If you fart, let it go!" Zhu Houzhao looked at the little eunuch's strange expression, so he shouted impatiently.

Only then did the little eunuch cry and said: "Your Majesty said that Xinjian Bo has always been modest, never arrogant, and cautious in his words and deeds...... Shengming ...... That's it, so His Majesty has another explanation, saying that the new Boju is a great contribution, and the next day of rest, he will enter the palace with the prince to meet him, and the prince has been resettled for some days, and His Majesty also wants to hear how the prince has placed the homeless. ”

"......" Fang Jifan sighed, not knowing what to say.

It seems that a person has too much black history, and it is not easy to make people change!

"And ......" Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face was not good-looking, the little eunuch hurriedly changed the topic, took out a small baggage, and said, "This ...... It is the pastries made by Her Royal Highness the princess herself, and please try the new uncle, Her Royal Highness the princess said that the new uncle for her treatment, it is not easy, I have not known how to reward, these pastries, just a thin meaning. ”

Fang Jifan took over the little burden, the little burden was very exquisite, with a light fragrance, Fang Jifan felt a trace of warmth in his heart, which could not be found in a group of big men in Xishan!

As soon as he wanted to say something, Zhu Houzhao said: "What about the palace, is there anything in the palace?" ”

The little eunuch said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, this ...... There is no ......"

“……”

Zhu Houzhao looked very melancholy.

When the eunuch fled and left, Zhu Hou looked at the back of the eunuch, and his face changed.

"Like...... Everybody doesn't like me. Zhu Houzhao said sadly.

Liu Jin was on the side, and said beautifully: "Your Highness, the slave likes you the most." ”

Fang Jifan's face straightened, he could see that Zhu Houzhao was a little depressed, so he said: "Your Highness, this is because Your Majesty has high hopes for you, but you don't believe in Your Highness, you will enter the palace next month, Your Majesty let Your Highness help the victims here, this is a godsend, instead of being sad here, it is better to cheer up, and when the time comes, you should be impressed." Your Highness, can you do it according to the minister's method? ”

"Do...... Yes, every household, every ding, has done a detailed investigation......" Zhu Houzhao said.

"That's it." Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, it is better to let them see how powerful His Highness is." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face looked much better now, Lao Fang, this guy usually likes to be lazy and pretend to be sick, and in other aspects, he is still very good.

He nodded and thought hard, but said, "Why doesn't my sister give pastries to her own brother?" ”

"It's because of ......"

"Bring the pastry." Without waiting for Fang Jifan to finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao snatched the pastry and smiled evilly: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, it's good to score food, this palace tastes it first, don't you also say that you want to share weal and woe with others?" ”

As he spoke, he took his baggage and ran away.

…………

The life of Xishan Academy is boring and has some fun.

After some time, Nishiyama purchased a herd of cows, horses, and cubs, in addition to pigs.

The foals, calves and piglets began to be distributed to households, and horse and cattle breeding was put on the agenda.

Shen Ao was very interested in a colt, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xinjian Bo asked them to raise horses, on the one hand, to observe the habits of horses, and on the other hand, it is said that it is also to teach farmers how to feed them, the purpose of which is ...... It seems to be for promotion outside the customs.

The Tuntian Thousand Households Center has found a resettlement site outside the Guan, and has begun to experiment with the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes, especially potatoes, which is a top priority!

In the future, the Thousand Households will set up a settlement there, and since they have reached the pasture, there is food, and there is a settlement, but the pasture should not be wasted in this way, and at the same time, it is extremely necessary to develop animal husbandry.

Xinbo asked all the scholars to record their experience in raising horses, and to know why they were raised well, what to eat for the horses, what the horse's temperament was, and if it was not good, it was also necessary to record the gains and losses.

It is extremely rare for farmers and scholars to combine to raise horses and cattle.

The arrival of these foals and calves immediately added a bit of fun to the whole West Mountain.

Every morning, the little tiger had to go to the circle to see his foal with his own eyes, so that he was willing to go to school, and Zhang Sanba began to find some forage for the foal to eat.

Shen Ao observed the foal's feces, hair, and the pony's daily temperament, recording them one by one.

In fact, what Fang Jifan is most interested in is - pigs.

The ancients loved to eat mutton and dog meat, such as the dog slaughterer who is often said, in fact, it is similar to the pig killer of later generations, although the consumption of pork is not nothing, but it has never been liked by the ancients.

The reason for this is because of the ...... taste of pork in ancient times It's very sour.

Moreover, in this era, the meat yield of pork is not high, because the estrus period of pigs is relatively long, once it enters the estrus period, pigs are easy to be irritable, and there is less meat.

This is probably no different from people, adolescent teenagers, in addition to being prone to freckles, are also easy to be irritable, and can't help but say 'what do you see, what do you see', and they also like to be sentimental, and they are prone to lovesickness, which makes people haggard for Yi.

But if the next thing is cut, the world will be clean, and there is no hope for life, nothing more than eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and letting the world be turbulent, I am not alarmed, calm and calm.

Therefore, castrated pigs, not only the pork removes the commotion, the pork is easy to get people's love, and it does not have to be like this era, in order to cover up the stench, you have to put in a large amount of seasoning, cover up its taste, make Dongpo meat, can be edible.

But even so, there are still not many people who like to eat pork, and people still prefer mutton. But if you can get rid of the fishy smell, it will be very different, and the number of people who can accept pork will inevitably increase greatly.

In addition, it is possible to increase the meat production a lot, there is no castration of pigs, impulsive and irritable, and extremely restless, restless like to wander around, not easy to grow meat, but if castrated, the meat yield is extremely high.

Castration, in fact, has appeared since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there is no large-scale popularization, the reason is that the castration of pigs, can not be disinfected in time, it is easy to lead to the death of pigs!

Think about it, if you castrate ten pigs and seven or eight die, even if the remaining pigs grow better, produce higher meat, and the meat is delicious, and even if the pig only needs to be stocked, it will only wander around slowly, not worrying that it will be like an uncastrated pig, rushing around, and you have to spend a lot of manpower to let people watch, and you may not be willing to castrate the pig.

Then, to solve the problem of castration, the first thing to consider is to sterilize at a low cost to ensure the survival rate of castrations.

Fang Jifan especially looked for farmers to understand.

Many farmers prefer to raise sheep, on the one hand, the price of mutton is better, on the other hand, the pigs and sheep in this era are actually labor-intensive, and there must be a special swineherd and sheepherd to watch, otherwise it is easy to get lost; And then the pig meat rate in this era is not much more than that of sheep, Fang Jifan has seen pigs here, and they are indeed not fat, just like sheep, they are all skinny and bone-like, and there is no image of a big fat pig in later generations.

The disappearance of the profession of swineherd came after the popularization of castration.

All in all, meat was a luxury in this era, and if you wanted to get meat into the homes of ordinary people, you had to find a kind of high-yield livestock.

Pig...... It became Fang Jifan's goal.

As soon as he heard that he was going to raise pigs, Zhu Houzhao was extremely unhappy!

The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit pig breeding, but Ming Wuzong, that is, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne in history, once issued a decree to prohibit the eating of pork, thinking that this pig was a bit of a conflict with himself.

It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is ......... for pig raising What a great resentment.

Fang Jifan almost dragged Zhu Houzhao and said: "This is a dolphin, not a pig, those who say pigs are all uneducated people, Your Highness, isn't our goal to make countless people live a good life?" What is delicious about beef, pork meat is delicious and fragrant. ”

"I'd rather kill all the cows in the world!" Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I will never eat pigs... Dolphin ......"

But although Zhu Houzhao was reluctant, he still obediently followed Fang Jifan to a circle, and Liu Jin also followed behind excitedly, looking left and right.

On the side, there was a man sharpening his knife with sneer......
