This matter was finally decided by Zhu Youjian and handed over to Xu Guangqi, and Xu Guangqi, who got the book "Sow Breeding and Postpartum Care Technology Compendium", was sitting in the Ministry of Agriculture with a bitter face, constantly looking through it.

But as he kept flipping through it, his expression gradually became more serious.

The title of the book may be a little funny, but the content in it is really useful, not only does it detail some of the technical problems in sow breeding, but more importantly, even the big killer such as artificial insemination is sacrificed.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but feel as if he had opened up the second vein of Ren Du.

muttered to himself, "This... Where did the emperor get all these books! ”

So, Xu Guangqi immediately made up his mind.

Not only to complete the task of setting up a large number of pig farms nationwide explained by Zhu Youzhen, but most importantly, he is also ready to solve the problem of the demand for meat, eggs and milk of the people of Daming at one time on this basis.

But if the technology is there, there have to be someone, right?

Xu Guangqi in the name of the Ministry of Agriculture.

A recruitment notice was published in the Daming Monthly Newspaper..

Henan.

Among the farmers, Zhao Huzheng was seriously chopping the pigweed he had cut down from the mountains today, and took out a large iron pot that he was sometimes reluctant to use for cooking.

Set up a fire, prepare to boil pig food for a while, and he is the only one in ten miles and eight towns who is willing to use his own iron pot to cook food for pigs.

Therefore, the pigs he raises tend to grow bigger and thicker than others, and even many butchers in the city who sell meat like to buy pigs from him, sometimes there is no suitable one, and they are even willing to do it for him. of the pig and wait for the next one.

Just when Zhao Hu was busy.

I heard that outside his house, there was a person shouting and greeting him with excitement on his face.

Zhao Hu turned his head and recognized the person at a glance, it was Pang Wen, a famous teacher in the village, and now the imperial court has corrected the names of these poor scholars in the past, and also arranged for them to give young children an errand to open up wisdom and literacy.

Today's Mr. Teach is not as depressed as he used to be.

It's just that in the past, this person often couldn't afford to eat, and when he had plenty of money, he would also receive some rations, but at that time, Zhao Hu just wanted him to bother teaching his son to read.

"Zhao Hu! Zhao Hu! You're at home! Come here, there's something good for you! ”

Seeing Pang Wen standing outside the fence at the edge of his yard and couldn't stop probing in, Zhao Hu had no choice but to put down the work in his hand, no longer busy, and turned his head to open the door.

"Oops! You're at home, take a look! What I'm holding in my hand! Pang Wen looked excited, and said to Zhao Hu with a flushed face.

However, Zhao Hu had a bitter face and responded: "Mr. Pang.. You also know this, we are a serious and rough person, I don't see what you are holding at all! ”

Pang Wen also slapped his forehead when he heard this.

Said: "Harm! Look at my memory, how did I forget this, come on, this is the Daming Monthly, it is a newspaper published by the imperial court every month... Well, it's not important, I'll get down to business for you."

"Okay, okay, okay.. Mr. Pang.. Why don't you come in first? ”

...

After a long time, Pang Wen hurriedly poured a sip of the cold water that Zhao Hu poured for him.

said to Zhao Hu: "Do you understand?" This is a good thing, a good thing to be able to go to Beijing as an official! ”

Mended.

Zhao Hu couldn't stop shaking his head.

"I don't understand.. Mr. Pang, is this what you are here for today? ”

"Hey!" Pang Wen slapped his thigh and continued.

"Why didn't you understand? Now the imperial court is convening those experts with breeding experience across the country, who doesn't know that you Zhao Hu is a must to raise pigs, and all the pigs raised are fat and thick! I just want you to go to Jingshi and give it a try! ”

"This... Is it feasible? Who wouldn't know how to raise pigs? Can you become an official by relying on this? ”

Pang Wen said with a straight face: "Although this official is different from the official master you think, it is also a good errand for the imperial court to eat imperial food, I think you can give it a try!" ”

After listening to this, Zhao Hu was a little moved.

But there was still some hesitation in my heart, and I hesitated for a while before I spoke again: "Can this work?" Or don't go.. It costs a lot of money to go to Jingshi! ”

When Pang Wen heard this, he immediately became anxious.

He said, "Why are you worried about this?" The travel fee is not enough, I will make it up for you, I didn't eat less food from your family at the beginning, and now I am mixing well, and the court has come to me every month to send me a fortune to teach, and I can't forget your love! ”

"If it doesn't work out... I also have a family."

"I'll show you! Isn't it okay to take care of you? You just say a good word, go or not."

Pang Wen's words have been said about this, and Zhao Hu will no longer twist...

The answer said, "Go.. Go! I can't go! ”

As soon as he heard this, Pang Wen suddenly had a smile on his face and said, "That's right!" You should give it a try, or your craft will be buried! ”

...

Such a recruitment notice was not only seen by people like Pang Wen and Zhao Hu, but even Zhu Youzhen, who was reading the newspaper in the palace, also saw it, and after reading it, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but praise it.

"This Xu Guangqi! Sure enough, his brain is lively, he really has him! ”

Having said that, Zhu Youzhen thought of another thing, and then beckoned Wang Chengen on the side and said: "I heard that there are still many Manchurians in Liaodong who have no time to deal with? ”

Wang Chengen nodded and replied: "Back to the emperor, it is exactly, the speed of the Tiger Army's attack on the city is too fast this day, and this battle has not been fought much, and the war in Liaodong has been much calmer, and many Manchus and those servants are still in Liaodong and have not had time to run." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Isn't this the best labor? Send a message to the Heavenly Tiger Army, just say that I said it personally, let them show me all these people, don't tell me in a few days that they all died in an accident.."

Wang Chengen was puzzled.

opened his mouth and said: "The emperor.. Why is that? Shouldn't all these people be put to death? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "This Manchurian is also a human being, as long as it is a human being, it can work, isn't it cheap for them to let them die?" Tell Xu Guangqi that he will first open part of the pig farm in Liaodong, and let these old men of the past also feed the pigs and do things for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "The emperor.. You're here! The old slave is going! ”

There will be more and more prisoners of war in the future, and Zhu Youzhen is ready to establish a complete mechanism for collecting prisoners of war, and in this set of mechanisms, the best way to reform those prisoners of war after the war should not be to directly pull them out and cut them down.

Instead, let them take the initiative to participate in Daming's production activities and shine for Daming.
