Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 58 Two Uninvited Guests

Holding a small sharp knife, the butcher clamped a piglet with his powerful legs according to Li Xin's instructions. The little pig desperately wanted to break free from the restraints, even though it was as stupid as it was, it knew that the fate of being caught like this was probably not good. However, the butcher's legs were thick and powerful, and it was simply not something a young pig like him could shake.

Relying on his vague memory, Li Xin pointed to a place between the piggy's hind legs, and said, "Open a small opening here."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "That's it. After you castrate these piglets, they will be handed over to you to raise them. I will subsidize you with five yuan a day. I will come back in a month to see how they grow." How are you doing?"

Before the butcher could speak, Li Xin turned to the surrounding villagers and said, "Everyone can watch and see how fast these piglets can grow after castration. If you want to raise pigs then , I can pay the cost of buying a piglet, and when the time comes to grow a big pig, they will be handed over to me for unified purchase, and then sold to others, it will never cause everyone to lose money."

It was originally a common practice of rural cooperatives in later generations to purchase and sell them in a unified manner, which avoided the internal friction between farmers competing to reduce prices. But in this day and age, it's still pretty new. Moreover, the vast majority of these villagers are not very smart, and they can't understand the subtlety of it for the time being, they can only understand one thing: the prince is really a good man.

Not only did they pay for the piglets for us, but they bought them all back when they were raised... Isn’t this just giving us money? How long has it been since I met such a good owner! Life is getting better!

Some villagers who were more emotional even cried out on the spot, which caused a lot of crying.

Li Xin touched the back of his head, a little confused by the scene in front of him: What's going on? I am going to start a pig raising business, sell pork to earn some money, and I want these villagers to drink some soup with me, why are they crying? Is it too little?

Seeing Li Xin's puzzled face, Zhang Quanfu explained with a smile: "Everyone thinks that the master's heart is too kind, and he is so considerate of the farmers, so he is very touched."

Only then did Li Xin understand, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile, feeling a little guilty.

He asked these villagers to raise pigs, and the main purpose was to hope that he could eat a delicious braised pork in the near future. Secondly, the vast majority of ordinary people in Chang'an City can only eat beef and mutton once in a while. If they can accept pork, it will be a huge market. With the ability of hundreds of villagers here, no matter how many pigs they raise Not enough to fill this demand, so Li Xin generously agreed to buy them all.

I'm ashamed, it's obviously a decision full of profit calculations, but these simple people don't have such a concept in their hearts, they only regard it as Li Xin's infinite goodwill.

Someone said loudly: "My lord, don't worry! I don't have much in my body, so I have a few strengths. I must help my lord to build a winery and raise pigs!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won many echoes. Everyone swears and swears that they will work hard to build the prince's winery, and sincerely wish the prince's children and grandchildren a long and unparalleled life!

It's just a little bit of not-so-pure kindness, but it ushered in such a warm response. It is conceivable how bad their usual life is.

Li Xin was very emotional. These are the people of Datang, lovely, industrious and easy to satisfy. Any dynasty that was destroyed in history was so bad to a certain extent, so bad that even the most satisfied people felt that they could not force themselves to endure it. How could such a dynasty not be destroyed?

Li Xin sincerely hopes that these lovely people can live a better life. He is willing to work hard within his ability.

He told Wang Gui to start the construction of the winery as soon as possible, while the laborers are still idle at this moment, use it quickly, lest in the spring, they all have to go back to plant seeds again, and the work of the winery has to stop up. Moreover, the work of building the winery started one day earlier, and these laborers could have enough food one day earlier.

Wang Gui nodded repeatedly, wrote down these things one by one, and followed behind Li Xin step by step.

After leaving the noisy environment of Chang'an and living in the countryside for three or two days, Li Xin felt the tranquility he hadn't experienced for a long time. To be honest, after time travel and becoming a prince, he didn't feel that his standard of living had improved, on the contrary, it had declined. Among other things, just not having a mobile phone or a computer, or having no lights at night, is enough to drive a modern person crazy.

What's more, in addition to this, there is nothing else, no matter it is food, clothing, many things that modern people are accustomed to, have not yet appeared in this era. Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, being a prince is actually nothing special, where there are so many rich clothes and fine food, even the life of an emperor, in fact, there are only more wives, which may make men in later generations feel envious.

But... Is it a good thing to have more wives?

All in all, Li Xin lived in Lantian for three days and then returned to Chang'an. When the group stopped outside the gate of the palace, they happened to see two young men in Confucian shirts coming outside the gate of the palace. As soon as the two saw King Chu's carriage, they immediately stepped forward to salute and said:

"The late Lu Liufang met the King of Chu."

"The late Xu Jingchen met the King of Chu."

Li Xin lifted the curtain and got out of the car, looked at the two suspiciously, and asked, "What do you want from me? I know you guys?"

Xu Jingchen said: "We are the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office. We have read Lu Guogong's memorial before, and we are very interested in the suture technique and hygiene management methods proposed by the King of Chu, so we took the liberty to ask for advice. To be honest with the King of Chu, the two of us I have been here two or three times, but the king of Chu is not here. I didn’t expect to meet by such a coincidence today.”

Only then did Li Xin remember the memorial that Cheng Yaojin had submitted before, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then come in with me first. We'll go in and talk."

Xu Jingchen cupped his hands and said, "Then interrupt."
