Chapter 542: Turning (II)
After realizing this, Yang Huairen suddenly became cheerful, and he didn't feel so bored and bored.
Whether it is to realize one's lofty ideals or to put one's heart into practice, there is not necessarily only one way.
Since this road doesn't work, then don't stubbornly continue to hit the wall, making your head bleed and depressed, it's better to turn around and take a long detour.
Therefore, whether the road is good or not is not whether the road itself is straight or not, nor whether it is winding around or not, as long as it can reach the destination, then the road is a good road.
Yang Huairen knew that it was a long-term matter of hard work and sweat to let everyone in the Great Song Dynasty eat good things and improve the physique of the nation, so he was not in a hurry.
Whether it is cultivating, planting, and popularizing those highly nutritious vegetables, or increasing people's protein intake through large-scale captive livestock, it is already being carried out in an orderly manner.
The ranch model has gradually explored a way of development, the first is to breed yaks from Tibet, after success, it is necessary to imitate the way of Huanzhou ranch, in other roads or prefectures and counties to establish new pastures, breeding more types and quantities of livestock.
The chicken farm in Zhuangzi has also begun to take shape, and although the egg production cannot be compared with the chicken farms of later generations, it is already of epoch-making significance in this era.
Yang Huairen did not plan to rest on his laurels, but planned to carry out the Happy Farm model for free and hand it over to the nearby Zhuangzi, so that they could also raise chickens and ducks, and open up more wasteland for growing vegetables.
When eggs are no longer a noble food in the eyes of ordinary people, the quality and level of people's diet will naturally be higher than before.
In the summer, the 20,000 acres of vegetables planted by Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji will also be able to be picked, and one-third of them will be used for breeding, which will be enough for the next stage of popularized planting.
In addition to supplying the needs of the big city of Tokyo, the remaining ones will also be transported by land and water to other prefectures in the Great Song Dynasty, laying the foundation for the next step of popularizing planting.
Of course, this first batch of large-scale planting vegetables will generate a huge profit, and according to the profit sharing ratio with the two princes, Yang Huairen will also receive a large amount of funds to develop his next plan.
Yang Huairen really wanted to raise a private soldier, but this private soldier was not for himself, and he didn't have much ambition for power.
In addition to protecting the safety of his family, his greatest wish is to select 5,000 elite soldiers and let an experienced general like Yang Shihu train them.
In addition to training these selected soldiers with a strong physique, superb combat skills and formations, it is more important to cultivate their military qualities.
Let them not only become qualified soldiers, but also let them be able to lead troops, lead troops, and be able to fight in actual combat, which is the most important thing.
It is easy to train 5,000 soldiers with high personal combat qualities, but the number of 5,000 is still too small compared to the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty, so small that it is almost negligible.
But cultivating these 5,000 people, if they can drive 50,000 people to follow them and become soldiers like them, even if these 50,000 people are just a fire commander or squad leader, then the most basic soldiers they can drive will be hundreds of thousands.
If the Great Song Dynasty had such hundreds of thousands of high-quality troops, it would enhance the military strength and level of the entire Great Song Dynasty.
But all this seems to have been shattered because of the symbolism of the opening of the Tongyuan County Mansion.
After Yang Huairen understood the truth of turning, he suddenly felt that in order to achieve this goal, he did not necessarily have to take a road.
The solution he has now comes up with is to open a cooking school.
Some people may think this incident is very funny, could it be that Yang Huairen wants to bring Lanxiang Technical School to the Great Song Dynasty?
This does sound funny, but in Yang Huairen's idea, the cooking school is just a cover, a cover-up.
He wanted to change the direction of cultivating the kind of military talent he imagined through a cooking school that cultivated the leaders of the army.
The meaning of what Zhao Xu said to him before was that he was going to reform the army, maybe this was just his momentary thought, and with his current power, it was not enough to change the status quo.
But in Yang Huairen's heart, since Zhao Xu, the emperor, has such an idea, it is a good thing, especially after he, as a later generation, knew in advance what was about to happen in the future, and was even more sure that this thing could be done.
It is unrealistic to directly go to the imperial court and say that it is necessary to open a military academy, even if the two bigwigs in the palace have no opinion, those civil officials will stand up and make irresponsible remarks, and the final result may be the failure of the entire plan, so Yang Huairen thought of a way to turn a corner.
If Yang Huairen only said that he would open a school to train cooks, the resistance would be much smaller, and the big deal would be criticized by the so-called "gentlemen" who looked down on the profession of cooks, saying that he was just not doing his job.
As long as he can achieve his goal, what kind of coat he wears, what kind of excuse he makes, and what kind of detours he takes are not so important in his heart, let alone a few words of scolding?
Besides, this matter is actually killing two birds with one stone.
Since it is a cooking school, cooks are naturally to be cultivated. More excellent cooks also mean that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can enjoy more kinds of food.
Yang Huairen's cooking skills, relying on his own strength, cannot be carried forward in any way.
Teaching more students, after the students are out of school, they will return to their hometowns and accept more students, so that his cooking skills can also be passed on and popularized.
This not only allows him to train a group of chefs to help him realize his ideal of making food all over the world, but also makes a perfect cover for his second ideal of strengthening the country and army.
Thinking about all this, Yang Huairen was happy. After being silly for a while, I realized that to realize this plan, it is not as simple as imagined.
The most basic problem is that it will take time and effort to build a new school, and at the moment, he does not even have a piece of land in his hands that is enough to build this envisioned Culinary Academy.
He didn't have to worry about the money to buy land, but he didn't have enough wasteland for him to use.
You don't have to think about it in the capital, the price of land is simply life. It's not okay to be in the field, you can't run back and forth, it's too much of a waste of time.
Not only to meet the needs of being close to his Zhuangzi, but also not too expensive, and the place is big enough to occupy arable land, Yang Huairen scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally thought of an excellent place.
