said that Lu Ren had no money to pay the bills in the big workshop, and both ends were in a dilemma. Later, Lu Ren had to go to Xun Yu again, with Xun Yu as the guarantor, allowing Lu Ren to owe it first, so he got this batch of chicken coops.

After a few days, there was an extra chicken farm in Meng Village, and Lu Ren was explaining some precautions for large-scale chicken raising to the recruited people at the moment in front of several bamboo slips.

In China's feudal economic system for more than 2,000 years, it has basically been based on the small peasant economy based on the household unit, and even the poultry captivity is also based on the household, and the real systematic, large-scale, and scientific breeding industry is almost zero, and the great thing is that the family has surplus grain and rice at home to raise more than ten or twenty chickens and ducks, and the breeding technology naturally can't keep up, so meat can be said to have always been a luxury for small peasant families, so that in the old days there was a sentence that described it like this, called "raising chickens for oil and salt, Raising pigs for the Chinese New Year". This situation did not change until the late seventies after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the second year of Jian'an, the results of the tuntian fields in Xuchang were very good, and it can be said that every household has relatively sufficient food, so the demand for meat that can improve life will go up immediately, and Lu Ren is now seeing this gap to grab the first pot of gold. Originally, this first pot of gold Lu Ren wanted to leave it to the Xun family, but now in this situation, Lu Ren felt that it was more appropriate to let himself earn this first pot of gold.

Manpower? Yes! Raising chickens and ducks is not a heavy physical job, and it can be handled by recruiting some peasant women;

Fodder? Yes, yes! Lu Ren asked Xun Yu for as much as he wanted, and it was absolutely natural, pure green, pollution-free, and nutritious enough to make chickens and ducks fatten quickly, and chicken manure was also a good fertilizer for growing vegetables;

As for the scientific breeding technology, let's not talk about it......

In fact, it is better to increase the meat of pigs, but the growth rate of pigs is relatively slower than that of chickens and ducks, and the cost is relatively higher. According to Lu Ren's calculations, the first two batches of chickens and ducks he has here can be released from the cage before the autumn, and the next step of investment can be carried out after the capital is returned.

I saw that at this time, Lu Ren was talking to a group of peasant women, and after finally finishing the explanation, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and took a sip of tea, and then asked the women: "Do you understand?" ”

All the women shook their heads in unison, and Lu Ren could only be speechless...... It's better to come forward in person and teach it by hand. Although Lu Ren only knows some theoretical knowledge in books, he can always play a leading role. This is the case with chicken farms now, and pig farms, cattle farms, and weaving mills that were built later are not much worse. The only thing that Lu Ren doesn't have to worry about may be the wine workshop......

Xuchang, Cao Hongfu.

Cao Hong was secretly punished by Cao Cao because of Lu Ren's pit this time, so that this time he couldn't go with Cao Cao to conquer Zhang Xiu and stay in Xuchang, so Cao Hong could only stay at home and sulk.

"Lord, Lu Ren asks to see you."

"Huh!?" Cao Hong was a little annoyed when he heard Lu Ren's name, and he thought about it, but remembering what Cao Cao said to him, he really couldn't pull off this face. Frowning tightly, Cao Hong still ordered the doorman to invite Lu Ren to the living room to meet. After meeting, they were polite, but their expressions were different. Compared with Cao Hong's irritability and depression, Lu Ren's face was full of spring breeze smiles.

Lu Ren looked at Cao Hong's stinky face, and smiled casually: "Doctor Cao, Lu Ren came to visit suddenly, because he wanted to have a business and wanted to talk to Dr. Cao. ”

Cao Hong was stunned: "Looking for me to talk about business?" Where do I need to talk about business? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Doctor Cao, let's make money together!" As long as you make money cleanly and don't violate the law, why don't you make money? In fact, my business is really not big, and I don't dare to talk to you when I get older, for fear that those with ulterior motives will say that we are faking public affairs for personal gain. ”

"Now that you know that, let's not talk about this business."

"No, no, no, it's better to talk. In fact, this business will not cause any trouble, but may be able to add some prestige to Dr. Cao. ”

Cao Hong looked at Lu Ren in confusion and said, "What do you say?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I overheard that Dr. Cao has a grape forest in the Western Regions near Xudu, which can harvest thousands of catties of grapes every year, but is there such a thing?" ”

Cao Hong nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." But these grapes ......"

Lu Ren said with a smile: "It is inconvenient to preserve, so after harvesting, you must sell it as soon as possible, or give it to relatives and friends to taste." And these grapes are not very good, more than sour and not sweet enough, even if they are cheap and no one cares about them, and there is no commercial profit, so Dr. Cao intends to shovel this grape forest and plant something else? ”

Cao Hong nodded abruptly, and said in his heart, "Is it possible that your Lu Ren is beating me this land?"

Lu Ren smiled: "Can you take me to see your vineyard?" ”

Cao Hongxin said, "Are you really here to fight my idea of the vineyard?" I wanted to refuse Lu Ren, but because of what happened before, I really couldn't pull this face down. After thinking about it again, he has been grounded for so long, and it is time to go out for a walk, so it is not bad to go out and go on a trip, so Cao Hong agreed to Lu Ren.

There are horses, and it won't take much time to arrive at the grange outside Xuchang City. Cao Hong didn't pay much attention to Lu Ren because he was out to relax, and Lu Ren carefully observed it as soon as he entered the grape forest, and Cao Hong didn't bother to ask.

In a blink of an eye, most of the day passed, and Lu Ren also returned to Cao Hong, and smiled at Cao Hong: "Sure enough, as I expected, this grape is actually planted in a bad way."

Cao Hong snorted coldly: "Can't do it? So Mr. Lu, will you plant? ”

As soon as the words came out, Cao Hong regretted it a little. He originally meant to mock Lu Ren when he said this, but he immediately reacted that Lu Ren seemed to know all kinds of crops very well, and Cao Hong used this kind of words to generalize Lu Ren's army, isn't that humiliating himself?

Sure enough, Lu Ren returned to the mount, took out a bundle of several rolls of bamboo slips from the mount's package and handed it to Cao Hongdao: "I have been to the Western Regions, so I know how the grapes are grown in the Western Regions. Doctor Cao, I'll give you this. ”

Cao Hong was stunned for a long time before he understood, looked at the bamboo slips handed over by Lu Ren, and said uncertainly: "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "It's not interesting, I just hope that Dr. Cao can raise your noble hand and stop worrying about me as a white-clothed cloth." If you insist on listening to something nasty, I'll tell you that I can't afford to mess with you, so it's okay to give in to you, right? ”

Cao Hong said that you are so, do you look like you are soft? The smile on his face said that he came to see me and joked. However, Cao Cao had repeatedly warned Cao Hong, asking Cao Hong not to go to Lu Ren's trouble again, and Cao Hong would not be able to have any seizures. As for the bamboo slips handed over by Lu Ren, Cao Hong never reached out to pick them up.

By the way, there are indeed some very good grape growing areas in Henan, such as the later Huaxia Great Wall brand series of red wines, which have a large area of grape production in Henan. Of course, grapes were a rarity in the Han Dynasty.

Lu Ren only smiled slightly when he saw it, put the bamboo slips on the ground, and then looked around the grape forest and said, "Doctor Cao, there is also the secret recipe for making wine written by Lu Ren." In fact, if grapes are used to make wine, the wine is sweet and mellow, and the color is ruddy like jade, which can really be the favorite of celebrities and scholars. If Dr. Cao believes me, he might as well make it according to this secret recipe. ”

Cao Hong was stunned. Back then, there was a secret recipe to make something, but it was money! And Lu Ren and Mi Zhen's Qingguo wine shop can make a lot of money, and Cao Hong is also red-eyed! Now that Lu Ren suddenly took out a secret recipe, Cao Hongzhen couldn't understand what Lu Ren wanted to do, after all, there was still a bit of grudge between the two people.

Lu Ren saw Cao Hong's expression and said with a smile: "Doctor Cao, I want to ask you, is there really a deep hatred between you and me?" ”

Cao Hong was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head at Lu Ren.

Lu Ren continued: "Then according to my heart, if you had reversed your identity with me at that time, would you have killed those evil slaves who were powerful in the countryside in the name of the lord?" To put it mildly, these evil slaves have reaped enough benefits for themselves, but what happens to us, the masters, have to bear the guilt, is it worth it? ”

Cao Hong was stunned again, and then shook his head.

Lu Ren smiled: "Since ancient times, the resentment family has not been resolved. Doctor Cao, you are a smart person, and you should understand that it is meaningless to make a grudge between you and me, who were originally innocent, for the sake of such a wicked slave. Although it is up to the owner to beat the dog, the kind of vicious dog that will only cause trouble to the owner is better to be killed by the hands of outsiders. Of course, I know that you are angry in your heart, so I offer you these grape planting methods and wine-making secrets to dispel your anger, and I really want to resolve this grudge with Dr. Cao. If you don't want to accept this secret recipe, Dr. Cao, I have nothing to say. But in the end, I still want to say that it is good for everyone for you and me to be good, so why harm the interests between you and me for the sake of a few vicious dogs? ”

Cao Hong's brows were tightly twisted together, and he looked at Lu Ren deadly, as if he wanted to see through Lu Ren's heart. But at this moment, Cao Hong also remembered what Cao Cao repeatedly told him, hesitated for a while, Cao Hong nodded and said, "That is the case, Cao Hong will accept it." If it really makes you and me profitable......"

Lu Ren raised his hand and smiled: "You and I have a tacit understanding." In short, everyone earns money together, and there is no grudge between you and me that cannot be resolved, right? After this wine is made, I hope you can take care of my Qingguo Wine Shop. ”

————————————————————

Leaving Cao Hongfu, Lu Ren and Lu Cheng rushed back to Meng Village. After walking out of the road, Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask Lu Ren in the car: "Big brother, why did you give him the secret recipe for making wine?" It's not like we can't do it ourselves! ”

Lu Ren shook his head and sighed lightly: "Do you really think I want to?" But if I don't find a way to resolve this feud with him, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the future. Cao Hong is a bit greedy for money and stingy, and the best way for him to stop going against me is to let him make money. When he earns the money and knows that there are only advantages and no disadvantages in working with me, he will no longer think about going against me.

"There's no way, who let me already mix in the officialdom? There are many things that I don't want to do, but I have to do. In short, Ah Cheng, you remember, this is also the way to survive, and it is a lesson I got after a big fall. I just hope that the things I gave him will really put me at ease, and don't forget that I'm not an official cloth guy now......"
