In the main hall of Baode County, Cui Wenqing, Zhe Zhao, and Su Shi each sat at one end of the Eight Immortals Table, and the topic gradually unfolded.
Zhi Zhao had deep doubts in his heart, and when he opened his mouth, he asked directly to the point: "Husband, what magic method do you have to increase the money and tax revenue of the four states in the Northland?" Are you still planning to rely on Hedong Bank to issue loans to accumulate wealth? ”
Cui Wenqing shook his hand with a smile and said: "Lady, although there is a lot of money earned by the banking industry, it cannot maintain continuous income for fifty years, and the banking industry is rich by the imperial court, not the people, so I thought of three ways to make money, which can obtain huge benefits for the people in the four counties of the Northland, especially the people resettled in other places on Jiangnan Road." ”
Su Shi laughed and said: "Brother Wen Qing has a lot of clever plans, why don't you quickly disassemble these three clever plans for us?" ”
Zhi Zhao nodded lightly, although he didn't speak, but his blazing eyes were staring at Cui Wenqing, naturally waiting for the following.
Cui Wenqing didn't say much, and said bluntly: "I said that the three methods I thought of were all designed for the people, and the first one is to mobilize the people to raise pigs and get rich." ”
"Raising pigs to get rich?" Su Shi and Zhi Zhao were startled at the same time, revealing puzzled expressions.
The "pig" in Cui Wenqing's mouth is a more popular name for the people, and in the official language, "pig" is generally called "彘", or "dolphin", which means pig.
Since the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the pig industry has gradually risen, especially in the homes of the people in the south, and some people can raise pigs.
However, because the pork is fishy and smelly, so the pork is known as cheap meat, and the price is also very cheap, ordinary rich and noble families will not eat pork at all, and pork is usually eaten occasionally by those poor people when they fight tooth sacrifices.
Take the current Daqi as an example, the mainstream meat is still dominated by mutton, and although pork is also sold, the quantity is very small, and it is completely unavailable.
Therefore, when they heard about the pigs raised by Cui Wenqing, Zhe Zhao and Su Shi were surprised.
Cui Wenqing knew that pork at this time would not be accepted by nobles like Su Shi, so he smiled and affirmed again: "Yes, what I said is indeed to raise pigs to get rich." ”
Zhi Zhao came back from his surprise, and said angrily and funny: "Husband, let's not say that pork is not the meat that our Daqi people are used to, the taste of this pork alone is difficult to swallow, if the people are large-scale breeding, wouldn't they be very worried about the market, how can they get rich for it?!" ”
"Yes," Su Shi nodded sadly, "Brother Wenqing, although I have never eaten pork, I have heard many people say that this kind of meat is the next kind of food, only when those poor people can't afford to eat beef and mutton, they will eat a little to satisfy their hunger, and we are very few people who raise pigs, how can we get rich by raising pigs?" ”
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The two of you only know one but don't know the other, in fact, the taste of pork is not unpalatable, on the contrary, it is very good, and the reason why pork has a fishy smell is that the people have not yet mastered the technology of gelding." ”
"Gelding? Why? Zhe Zhao couldn't understand what he heard, and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this question, Cui Wenqing was more or less embarrassed, and said: "The so-called gelding, in layman's terms, is castration and castration, just like turning a normal man into a eunuch. ”
When the words fell, Su Shi suddenly felt his crotch tight, and suddenly felt cold, and was stunned by Cui Wenqing's sudden words.
And Zhe Zhao is an untrained girl after all, and when she heard this, two moving blush suddenly rose, and she was almost ashamed.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was more or less awkward.
Cui Wenqing also knew that it was a bit rude to discuss this issue in front of Zhi Zhao, but in order to raise pigs and get rich, he could only say bluntly: "Lady, gelding has a lot to do with pigs, since we are seriously discussing, then don't be too evasive, just treat it as an ordinary problem." ”
Zhi Zhaoqiao's face was still flushed, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Cui Wenqing, but she was silent, obviously acquiescing to Cui Wenqing's statement.
And Su Shi was afraid of embarrassment, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Since it's a discussion, there's really no need to be too formal, uh...... I have heard that the Tatars of the Mobei steppe feed war horses, that is, after the horses are born, in the first or two years in the grass for careful riding training, so that they are full of grass, full of fat and strong, and grow four teeth that are castrated castrated, so that the early castration of the horse is vigorous and brave, and strong and supple, can withstand the cold climate, run a long way and only sweat very little, any expedition can endure, is it not that the Wenqing brother gelding and the Tatar gelding have the same effect? ”
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The gelding is different, in fact, the method of the gelding is also what I heard others mention in a chance meeting, and after verifying that this is indeed the case, I can only say it at the bottom of the eye to discuss, the so-called gelding is the boar piglet is when it is young, it is castrated and castrated, so as to ensure that the boar pork meat is delicious and delicious when it grows up, and there is no smell at all, so that it can be eaten." ”
This discussion is too shy, although Zhizhao's heart is full of questions, but it is not good to ask too much, so he can only look at Cui Wenqing in a daze, waiting for his explanation.
Su Shi thought for a while, and first asked: "Brother Wen Qing means that after castrating the boar piglets, you can ensure that the meat is delicious and no longer smells, right?" ”
Cui Wenqing was born in the countryside and is the son of a farmer, so he naturally understands this, and nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the castration is clean, the pork will not smell at all." ”
"But Brother Wenqing, even so, pork is just cheap meat in the mouths of the people, and I have heard that piglets are not very easy to feed, slow fattening, low yield, how can we compete with the mutton we are used to eating?"
"Brother Su, do you know how long it usually takes for a farmer to raise lambs all the time?"
Su Shi groaned slightly, and said, "About ten months." ”
"How many catties can you reach?"
"About twenty-five to thirty pounds."
"Hehe, in fact, the time it takes to raise pigs is about the same as raising sheep, about ten months, but do you know how many catties of pigs can be reached?"
Su Shi thought for a while and said: "In the past, I heard others say that it was about a hundred catties. ”
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "If it is according to the breeding method of the past, the piglets can indeed only reach about 100 catties in ten months, but if they are castrated and castrated, coupled with the breeding method specially invented by my Cui Wenqing, the piglets will grow extremely fast, and they can reach about 200 catties in ten months." ”
"What, two hundred pounds?!" Before Su Shi could express his surprise, Zhi Zhao had already exclaimed in surprise, revealing a shocked expression.
