Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Have Two Good News
Without the interference of the river gang, the construction of the pig farm was smooth. The two pig pens have been successfully completed, and the pig pens, dormitories and warehouses have been started at the same time.
Kong Yiji brought a message, he searched the county capital near Qinghe County, and only bought 30 piglets, including 8 sow piglets and 22 boar piglets.
As for which ones to raise as meat pigs and which ones to raise as breeding pigs, it will be decided by the master when he returns, and he is already on his way back.
Kong Fang was immediately depressed.
The gap between reality and the goal was too great, and thirty pigs could not support his great cause of real pork freedom, so he immediately repaired a book and sent someone to send it.
He asked Kong Yiji to continue to collect on the way back, not only piglets, but also breeding pigs, regardless of size, whether he robbed, fooled, or bought at a high price.
In short, he had to bring back at least one mature male breeding pig, more than five mature ~ sows.
After the letter was delivered, he stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, he had made it very clear in the letter that if Kong Yiji couldn't complete the task, he would be tied to the pigsty as a breeding pig. He didn't care what kind of mood Kong Yiji was in after receiving the letter.
I don't care how he completes his mission.
According to his memory, he wrote a booklet about the methods and experiences of raising pigs in later generations, named "Daxing Pig Breeding Secrets" and handed it to Lao Song.
Lao Song was literate, and when he received the booklet, he read it over and over again, and he admired his master even more.
Kong Fang easily accepted the admiration of Lao Song, and then encouraged him to work hard and strive to become the best swineherd in Qinghe County, even Baoding Mansion, and even the entire Daxing Dynasty.
Lao Song was so excited that tears rippled, and he said that he would never live up to the master's entrustment, and was willing to work hard for the master's pig raising business.
Kong Fang hurriedly asked him to stop.
It's okay to be loyal, but not too sensitive.
Xiaocui and Cao are illiterate, but it does not affect their love for pig breeding at all, and they cherish the opportunity given to them by their master.
Xiaocui was originally a slave girl and had no personal freedom, but it was Kong Fang who gave her a new life; Although the Cao family is a free man, they are at the bottom of society, and their lives are unsustainable.
Because of Kong Fang, the originally dilapidated family has been revitalized, and a bright future can be expected.
None of them are educated, but they are grateful; They know how to cherish the hard-won opportunity to rebirth.
Originally, for Kong Fang, this was just dirty and tiring work, and few people wanted to do it in his previous life.
But it had been a few days since he had traveled to the Daxing Dynasty, so he understood their reaction.
He asked Lao Song to learn while passing on the knowledge he had learned about pig raising to Xiaocui and Cao, so that everyone could learn and make progress together.
For the master's arrangement, Lao Song naturally did not dare to slack off, and as long as he was free in the future, he would be the gentleman of Xiaocui and Cao's seriously.
A professional team has been organized, and this is the first team on people's livelihood projects established after Kong Fang's crossing, which is of great significance. To celebrate the establishment of the team, he specially booked a table in Baihualou. Lao Song and the three of them usually pass in front of the Baihualou Mansion, how could they have thought that they would have the opportunity to come here to eat in this life?
They stood at the door, yearning and cringinge, which made people laugh and feel sad.
Cao Bin went out to Cao's, "Mom, let's go home, I'm afraid of ......"
Kong Fang took them into the private room, and they were once again amazed by the luxurious decoration of the private room. Kong Fang told them to relax, not to be so inhibited. Meals are all spent on silver, and they can't be wasted.
He didn't dare tell them how much money the meal had costed, for fear they would faint.
……
After eating, Kong Fang asked them to go home.
As soon as he returned to the county office on the front foot, Mr. Luo arrived on the back foot. Seeing that the other party's face was full of red light, Kong Fang guessed that there was something good, and sure enough.
"County Zun, the old man brought you two good news today, which one do you want to hear first?"
It is rare for Mr. Luo to be a great Confucian. Kong Fang laughed dumbly, this is what he said to make fun of Fang Shibo, but he didn't expect Mr. Luo to "steal the teacher".
It's a pity that it was misguided.
"Both are good news, but which one is the same, right?"
"Ahem......"
Mr. Luo coughed awkwardly. The sage advocates living and learning, but it is a pity that his generation of Confucianism parrots and makes jokes.
"Okay, then I said it."
Mr. Luo took off his glasses and said, "County Zun, I have three friends who have eye diseases like me, and I am envious and jealous when I see that the old man can regain his light. ”
"They are arguing with the old man every day to get them a pair of glasses, but these glasses are not extraordinary, where do you say I should get them? Right? ”
"Later, they said that they would make crystals, and then they would ask for a pair of glasses. I thought you would say yes, so I took it upon myself to help you do it. ”
"County Zun, you won't blame me, will you?"
Mr. Luo asked cautiously.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Kong Fang put down the teacup that had reached his mouth, and his hands were trembling.
"I mean, I don't blame me for making it my own mind, do I? It's okay, if you don't agree, I'll reject them, they haven't settled down yet, anyway. ”
"It's not this sentence, go up, go up, ......"
Mr. Luo looked at Kong Fang suspiciously, not understanding why he was so excited. Isn't it just three hundred taels of gold? If it's three hundred taels of silver, it's not worthy of his own group of fox friends......
What about those best friends!
"The old man's three friends want to ask for a pair of glasses, a hundred taels of gold, and they bring their own crystals. I don't know if the county can accept it? ”
Mr. Luo lowered his voice, for fear of stimulating Kong Fang again.
Kong Fang's eyes lit up, how could he not accept it?
Yes, the money of the Daxing Dynasty is too easy to make.
A person with a lot of stupid money! If you don't make all this money, how can you be worthy of sacrificing your life and forgetting to die for a time?
He rubbed his hands repeatedly, trying to suppress his emotions, for fear that he would be overly excited.
In case of a storm, no matter how much gold there is, it will be a floating cloud.
"Sir, you are really my nobleman, you are my God of Wealth......"
Mr. Luo waved his hand, why should I worry about trivial matters?
To appease Kong Fang's emotions, he took out another account book, "The first volume of "Journey to the West", the first batch of 2,000 copies printed, has been sold out. ”
"A book costs one tael of silver, and a thousand copies of the gross profit is one thousand taels. This is the account book, and the income and various expenditures are in it, please look at it from the county. ”
Mr. Luo handed the account book to Kong Fang, who reached out to take it and put it down gently.
"The release of "Journey to the West" is a great contribution to the public, and the students are very grateful. All matters concerning this book are in charge of the master. ”
He wouldn't read the ledger.
Mr. Luo's eyes lit up and he bowed his head secretly.
"County Zun, you may not know that as soon as this book was listed, it caused a wave of competition, and 2,000 books were sold out within three days, which is an unprecedented event in ancient times."
"County Zun, the old man really can't understand, "Journey to the West" is so popular, why don't we just print tens of thousands of copies and sell them in one go?"
