After Di Renjie left, Li Jing took Ximen Yang, escorted by a team of guards, and set off for Furong Garden.

I came to Furong Garden because Li Jing planned to make a new project, and Furong Garden was the experimental base for his new project, and this time I was to choose the location of the experimental base in Furong Garden.

Li Jing plans to build a large farm in Furong Garden, raising pigs, raising chickens, ducks and geese and other small animals.

Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? He has raised chickens and ducks, so why don't he raise a few pigs!

It's not a big deal, anyway, this kind of thing doesn't need to be done by him, the emperor, himself.

He has an encyclopedia in his hand, which is about poultry and livestock breeding technology, he only needs to provide breeding technology, and leave the rest to others!

Datang is so big, I'm afraid I can't find someone who can raise pigs? It's not that no one in the Tang Dynasty has ever raised pigs.

As long as the farm can be successfully completed this time, the survival rate of livestock and poultry can be more than 90 percent, and it will be promoted all over the world immediately.

Li Jing wants the entire people of Datang to eat fatty pork.

In Datang, few people eat pork, and everyone prefers mutton more than pork.

This is mainly because the pigs of the Tang Dynasty are still domesticated from wild boars, not the Dutch white pigs introduced in later generations, but the domesticated wild boars from the local wild boars.

Datang's pork has not been castrated, and the taste of the meat is very fishy, which is why no one wants to eat pork in Datang.

Therefore, there is no market for pork in Datang, and it is far less popular than mutton.

Even in the benefits given by the imperial court to hundreds of officials, not everyone has pork.

The salary of officials in Datang is not high, but there are many benefits, and the princes and below the second-rank officials supply 20 sheep and 60 catties of pork every month.

The third-grade official only gives 12 sheep every month, and the fourth-grade and fifth-grade officials give 9 sheep every month, and no pork is given, which shows that mutton is much more popular than pork.

In addition to raising poultry and livestock, there is another use for establishing a farm, that is, it can produce farm fertilizer!

This farmhouse fertilizer is in Datang without chemical fertilizer, but it is a rare good thing, and composting on the land of China has a history of thousands of years.

Therefore, Li Jing does not need to think about how to teach everyone to compost and make manure, which is a survival skill that all farmers will know to live on this land.

"Xiao Yangzi, I want you to find the place in the Hibiscus Garden, how did you find it?"

Li Jing came to an attic in Furong Garden and asked Ximenyang if he had done anything he had done before.

"Sage, according to your instructions, the old slave has chosen a vacant land, with an area of about twenty or thirty acres, which is very suitable for establishing a breeding farm."

Ximenyang hurriedly said that he was following Li Jing's instructions, the site should be large enough, and it should not be too far away from the water source, preferably near the pool.

He walked around the entire Hibiscus Garden before he found such a site that met Li Jing's requirements.

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and asked, "Where is that venue, take me over to have a look."

Li Jing stood up happily, he had to plan the site immediately, how big the pigsty should be, the chicken coop, duck tongue, goose coop, and the location of the rabbits should be planned!

"Sage, don't bother, look downstairs!"

Ximen Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to the outer road.

Li Jing turned around, poked his head out and looked down, the open space below, about twenty or thirty acres, looked up not far away, there was indeed a pond, and lotus flowers were planted in the pond.

Li Jing came back to his senses, wasn't the vacant land behind downstairs what he wanted?

This is not considered to be a nowhere to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

"Xiao Yangzi, you go find some craftsmen to come back, and when I give you a set of drawings, you let the craftsmen build the farm according to the drawings."

"Then, send someone to buy some little piglets, chickens, ducks, goose seedlings, rabbits, etc., and the pond over there will be used to raise some grass carp."

Li Jing not only had to raise pigs, chickens, ducks and other domestic animals and poultry, but also raised some crucian carp and other grass carp.

After Ximen Yang listened to Li Jing's words, he had another headache, and wondered in his heart, how could his master think of doing this, if he wanted to eat fish, as long as he commanded, the people below would make the fish and bring it to him.

Other chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., as long as they want to eat, they have a large number of people who work for the Son of Heaven, and they don't need to do it themselves, let alone breed them themselves.

Although there were many doubts in his heart, he still did what Li Jing instructed.

"The old slave will arrange for someone to do it, but the old slave doesn't understand, if the saint wants to eat, he just needs to say it, and the following will do it for the saint, why bother so much?"

Ximen Yang agreed, but couldn't help asking.

Li Jing heard his inner warden's question, and said, "If I eat it myself, naturally I don't need to be so troublesome, but these are just what I use for experiments, if these poultry and livestock can be fed ninety percent." ”

"I want to promote the breeding method to the whole world, and in the future, I want to let the people of Datang eat meat."

"But, sage, this pork is too fishy, it's really not delicious, and ordinary poor people will eat some, who has money and eats pork."

Ximenyang told the truth, it is because the fishy smell is too strong that pork is not liked by everyone.

"The reason why pork is not delicious is because there is no castration, and the castrated pigs not only grow fast, but also do not have a fishy smell."

"In fact, the taste of pork is very good, and the pig after castration can grow to about 200 catties in less than half a year, and it is absolutely no problem to grow to 3 or 400 catties in a year."

Ximen Yang gasped after hearing this, and his face showed surprise!

"Sage, how is this possible?"

Ximenyang exclaimed, what Li Jing said was too surprising.

"This can still be fake, the reason why the current pork is not strong, and it still smells fishy when it tastes, is because there is no castration, and pigs without castration are active and easy to estrus."

"That's why they don't grow strong, they don't have this trouble after castration, they don't have this kind of trouble, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, they naturally grow fat and strong."

Li Jing said with a smile, these are all knowledge from books.

Although Ximenyang still had doubts in his heart, he felt that what Li Jing said made some sense, so he didn't ask too much, as long as he did his own errand.

Ximenyang instructed people to go to the Ministry of Industry, invited the best craftsmen over, and began to build a pigsty and a nest for chickens, ducks and geese on the vacant land according to the drawings given by Li Jing.

And let people buy some grass carp, put them in a pond not far away, raise grass carp, and arrange people to feed grass carp.

Some people died, but not completely......
