Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Zhu Houzhao's whole person looks much leaner!

Since it is necessary to do everything by yourself, Liu Jin is not allowed to intervene in ordinary chores.

Laundry, lighting, cooking, and even mending clothes, are now very proficient in everything.

On the next day, people came from the palace and brought a lot of food from the palace, all kinds of rare preserved fruits and pastries, there were as many as several baskets.

One was given to Zhu Houzhao, and the other was given to Fang Jifan.

Zhu Houzhao, however, seemed annoyed. There were a lot of things, but they were still not enough. After all, there were many people in Xishan.

It was the eunuch who pulled Fang Jifan aside, Zhu Houzhao took a look, immediately became vigilant, followed quickly, and stared straight at the eunuch.

The eunuch didn't dare to hold Fang Jifan to have a secret talk anymore, but said: "Your Majesty has given an order to Uncle Xinjian, His Majesty said that Uncle Xinjian has worked hard to take care of the crown prince..."

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's forehead burst out with blue veins, and his face turned red!

What? Who takes care of whom?

Fang Jifan is still very moral, and he felt wrong when he heard it. What does it mean that he takes care of the prince?

Does the prince still need to take care of it? Your Majesty obviously doesn't know the prince clearly!

So Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Please go back and report to Your Majesty, father-in-law, and say that I am very ashamed. In fact, I have a brain disease, and there have been occasional signs of recurrence recently. Thanks to His Royal Highness, the prince took care of me. As for the fact that I take care of the prince, it is purely nonsense. Don’t dare to do it, and can’t afford to do it.”

After listening to Fang Jifan's words, Zhu Houzhao felt much more relieved, and his anger disappeared immediately. He grinned and said, "Yes, yes, I will report it like this when I go back."

The little eunuch looked at Fang Jifan with difficulty, then at the crown prince, hesitating.

"If you fart, let it go!" Zhu Houzhao shouted impatiently seeing the little eunuch's strange expression.

Then the little eunuch said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty said that Uncle Xinjian has always been modest and never took credit for himself. Uncle Xinjian has made great contributions, and on the next rest day, he will go to the palace with the prince to have an audience, and the prince has been resettling the refugees for some time, and His Majesty also wants to hear how the prince arranges the refugees."

"..." Fang Jifan sighed, not knowing what to say.

It seems that a person has too much black history, and it is not easy to change it!

"Also..." Seeing that His Highness the Prince's face was not looking good, the little eunuch hurriedly changed the subject, took out a small bag, and said: "This...is a cake made by Her Highness the Princess herself, and I invite Uncle Xinjian to taste it, Your Highness He said that it was not easy for Uncle Xinjian to treat her illness, and he never knew how to repay her, these cakes are just a humble meaning."

Fang Jifan took the little burden, the little burden was very delicate, with a light fragrance, Fang Jifan felt a trace of warmth in his heart, which could not be found in a group of old men in Xishan!

Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Houzhao said, "Where are my palace's? Do you have any of my palace's?"

The little eunuch said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, this...isn't..."

"..."

Zhu Houzhao looked very melancholy.

When the eunuch left as if fleeing, Zhu Houzhao watched the eunuch's back, his face fluctuating.

"It seems...everyone doesn't like me." Zhu Houzhao said sadly.

Liu Jin was at the side, and said happily: "Your Highness, I like you the most."

Fang Jifan put on a serious face, he could see that Zhu Houzhao was a little frustrated, and said: "Your Highness, this is because His Majesty has high hopes for you, but you don't believe His Highness, you will enter the palace next month, Your Majesty asked His Highness This relief to the victims is a golden opportunity from God, instead of feeling sad here, it’s better to cheer up and see you with admiration when the time comes for three days. Your Highness, can you do it according to the minister’s method?"

"Did... done, every household, every town, a detailed investigation..." Zhu Houzhao said.

"That's it." Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, let them see how powerful His Highness is."

Only then did Zhu Houzhao look a lot better. Lao Fang usually likes to be lazy and pretends to be sick. In other respects, he is still very good.

He nodded and thought hard, but he said: "Why doesn't my sister send pastries to my brother?"

"This is because……"

"Bring the cakes." Before Fang Jifan could finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao snatched the cakes away, and said with a wicked smile: "It's better to be alone than to be happy together. It's better to share food. I'll try it first. Don't you want to eat?" He also said, do you want to share joys and sorrows with others?"

As he spoke, he took the burden and ran away in a hurry.

…………

The life in Xishan Academy is boring but also has some fun.

After some days, Xishan bought a group of cows and horses, besides, there were pigs.

These foals, calves, and piglets began to be distributed to various households, and horse and cattle breeding has been put on the agenda.

Shen Ao was very interested in a foal that was assigned to him. His Royal Highness and Uncle Xinjian asked them to raise the horse. On the one hand, it was to observe the horse's habits. On the other hand, it was said that it was also to teach the farmers how to feed it. In order to promote outside the customs.

Tuntian Qianhusuo has found a resettlement site outside the customs, and began to try to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, especially potatoes, which are the top priority!

In the future, the Thousand Households will set up settlements there. Since we have reached the pasture, we have food and settlements, but the pasture should not be wasted like this

At the same time, it is extremely necessary to develop animal husbandry.

Uncle Xinjian asked all scholars to record their experience in raising horses. If they are well-raised, they should know why they are well-raised, what they usually feed the horses, and their temperament. If they are not well-raised, they also need to record the gains and losses.

It is extremely rare for farmers and scholars to combine to raise horses and cattle.

The arrival of these foals and calves immediately added a bit of fun to the entire West Mountain.

Every morning, Little Huzi had to go to the pen to see his little pony with his own eyes, before he was willing to go to school, and Zhang Sanba began to look for some fodder for the little pony to eat.

Shen Ao observed the foal's feces, hair, and the foal's daily temperament, and recorded them one by one.

In fact, what Fang Jifan is most interested in is pigs.

The ancients loved to eat mutton and dog meat. For example, the dog butchers are often said to be similar to the pig butchers of later generations. Although pork was eaten, it was never liked by the ancients.

The reason is that the ancient pork tastes... very sour.

And in this era, the meat yield of pork is not high, because the estrus period of pigs is relatively long. Once in estrus, pigs tend to be irritable and have little meat.

This is probably no different from human beings. In addition to freckles, adolescents are also prone to irritability. They often say "what are you looking at, what are you looking at?" .

But if the things below are cut off, the world will be clean, and life will have nothing to look forward to. It is nothing more than eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and letting the world be turbulent. I am calm and calm.

Therefore, castrating a pig not only removes the smell from the pork, but also makes the pork easy to be loved by people. It is not necessary to put a lot of seasonings in order to cover up the smell like in this era, so that it can be made into Dongpo. Meat is edible.

But even so, there are still not many people who like to eat pork, and people still prefer more mutton. But if the stench can be removed, it will be very different. The number of people who can accept pork is bound to increase greatly.

In addition, it can increase the meat production in a large amount. Uncastrated pigs are impulsive, irritable, and extremely restless. Restless like to wander around, and it is not easy to grow meat, but if they are castrated, the meat production will be extremely high. .

In fact, castrated pigs have appeared since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they have not been popularized on a large scale. The reason is that the castration of pigs cannot be disinfected in time, which can easily lead to the death of pigs!

Think about it, if you eunuch ten pigs, seven or eight will die, even if the remaining pigs grow better, have higher meat output, and the meat quality is delicious, even if the pigs only need to be free-ranged, they will just walk around slowly, Don't worry that it will rush around like an uncastrated pig, and it will take a lot of manpower to have people watch it, and you may not be willing to castrate a pig.

Then, to solve the problem of castration, the first thing to consider is to sterilize at a low cost to ensure the survival rate of castration.

Fang Jifan especially asked the farmers to get to know them.

Many farmers prefer to raise sheep. On the one hand, the selling price of mutton is better; Furthermore, the meat production rate of pigs in this era is actually not much higher than that of sheep. Fang Jifan has seen pigs here, and they are indeed not fat.

The profession of swineherd disappeared after the popularity of barrows.

All in all, in this era, meat is a luxury, and if you want to bring meat into the homes of ordinary people, you must find a high-yielding livestock.

Pigs... became Fang Jifan's target.

As soon as he heard that he was going to raise pigs, Zhu Houzhao seemed extremely unhappy!

The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the raising of pigs, but Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, that is, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne in history, once made a decree to prohibit eating pork, thinking that this pig was a bit offensive to himself.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Houzhao has a lot of resentment towards raising pigs.

Fang Jifan almost dragged Zhu Houzhao, and said, "This is a pig, not a pig. Those who talk about pigs are all uneducated people. Your Highness, isn't our goal to make countless people live a better life? What's so good about beef?" Pork meat is delicious, very fragrant."

"I'd rather kill all the cattle in the world!" Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "I would never eat pigs... pigs..."

But although Zhu Houzhao was extremely reluctant, he still obediently followed Fang Jifan to a circle, and Liu Jin followed excitedly, looking around.

On the side, a man was sharpening his knife...
