Chapter 2076 You Can Also Raise Them



Chapter 2076 You Can Also Raise Them

Li Shen understood the feelings of Wei Siyan and the others. They had been neglected in the past, and now that they had finally become rich, they pretended to be rich in front of their relatives to satisfy their vanity.

Isn't this the same thing that Li Shen, a commoner, has always been doing in his heart?

Revenge consumption, satisfying one's own desires, and showing off one's wealth in front of others.

Everyone is like this, otherwise why would there be the term "nouveau riche"?

It’s ok to just pretend, but don’t get too addicted to it, otherwise you’ll lose yourself and be taken advantage of by others.

This is the case with people like Wei Siyan. The management rights of the Wei family were requested by people like Wei Siyan.

Li Shen thought it was a small matter at first, it didn't matter who he gave it to, so he agreed, and his mother was also very happy.

But now it seems that some people just can't be satisfied and are too greedy.

"What the prince taught me is that I will reflect on it after I return."

Wei Siren said ashamedly.

"Well, don't worry about it. It's inevitable that people will make mistakes when eating whole grains.

I am talking to you about serious matters."

The matter has come to an end, and Li Shen has said everything he needed to say.

Hearing that Prince Ji was going to talk about serious matters, several people immediately sat up straight and prepared to listen.

"I want to develop animal husbandry. As you know, there is plenty of grain in the Tang Dynasty now, and a lot of old grain is eliminated from the imperial granary every year.

Even if I use these old grains to make wine, there is still a lot left.

Therefore, I think it would be better to raise some livestock so that the people can eat meat.

This king wants you to follow him in raising animals. This king will send someone to teach you some of his experience in raising animals.

If you can't sell them, I can take them back, what do you think?"

Now that we have the idea of ​​developing the breeding industry, let’s bring more people in.

The national trend is determined by Chang'an. Whatever happens in Chang'an will be imitated by other places.

Wei Siyan and the others were the first people he planned to recruit.

"Animal husbandry?" When Wei Siyan and the others heard Prince Ji say he wanted to engage in breeding, they were stunned. Doesn't Prince Ji's mansion have a breeding farm?

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I wonder what we need to do?"

Wei Siyan asked, since Prince Ji asked, they had to agree, Prince Ji would not cheat them anyway, at least not when Concubine Wei was around.

“It’s actually very simple. You don’t have to raise them together like I do. That would be too troublesome. I actually have another purpose for raising them together.

You only need to focus on one, such as raising chickens and ducks, or cattle and sheep, and donkeys, which I suggest you also raise.

At that time, I will recycle the donkey skin, and you can sell the donkey meat at a high price. Donkey meat is more expensive than beef and mutton, and you can make a lot of money.

You can make a fortune in a year."

Li Shen suggested that he raise mixed breeds firstly to meet the meat needs of Prince Ji's Mansion and secondly to breed new varieties.

For example, the pigs he raises now can grow to 200 to 300 kilograms, and he is still constantly improving the breed.

Li Shen also adopted a breeding method that reduced the pigs' activity range so that they could grow fatter and fatter.

Ordinary people prefer to buy fatty meat, and only top aristocratic families like Li Shen eat lean meat.

Therefore, if the pig is too thin, it will be difficult to sell.

Wei Siyan and the others looked at each other. They had never been involved in the breeding industry because they felt that this industry was not high-end enough.

But since they have spoken, they cannot disobey.

Li Shen saw their concerns and said with a smile:

“This king asked you to raise livestock, making money is secondary, the main purpose is to increase meat.

This king has a dream. I hope that people all over the world can eat meat every day and can afford to eat meat.

But livestock are scarce and cannot be supplied at all, so I let you participate only for show to outsiders.

As long as you can make money, people will follow you.

Those nobles and aristocratic families naturally look down on this money and think it is shameful, but there are still many merchants.

For them, making a fortune every year is a dream come true.

As long as all places follow suit, I believe that sooner or later, the people of our Tang Dynasty will be able to eat cheap meat."

Li Shen did not hide anything and told all his plans to Wei Siyan and others. This made him look more sincere.

"Your Highness Prince Ji is indeed righteous, and we admire him. Don't worry, Your Highness. After I return, I will immediately start to enclose some land and send people to raise some chickens and ducks."

Wei Siyan was the first to speak.

"I will raise sheep too. I love eating mutton."

Wei Siren followed closely, and Wei Siqi also stood up and expressed his intention to raise cattle and sheep.

Only Wesley stood up slowly and shouted:

“I keep a donkey!”

His shout startled several people. There were really not many people who raised donkeys in the Tang Dynasty.

"Hahaha, okay, if you don't have seedlings, you can come to my farm to choose some, and I will give them to you.

Furthermore, I will send people to train your breeding staff.

We are doing this for the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shen was very happy after hearing this. He had finally taken the first step towards his goal.

“In a few days, the king will sell donkey hide gelatin everywhere. If you are interested, you can follow me to sell it. The areas you are responsible for are all wealthy places with many rich businessmen.

This will also make you a lot of money.”

Li Shen said with a smile. Since they are so obedient, he doesn't mind giving them some benefits.

As a leader, you must use both kindness and severity, and you cannot simply rely on high pressure, as this will not last long.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness Prince Ji."

Several people hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude. Although they did not think that they could make a lot of money from donkey-hide gelatin, it was a favor from His Royal Highness Prince Ji to give them this business.

How can any business make a lot of money?

"Okay, go back and prepare. Send someone to the farm to learn first. It's best to keep the breeding site far away from where people live so as not to disturb others."

"Yes, I'll take my leave then."

After hearing this, Wei Siyan and the others quickly stood up and said goodbye. Today's matter was quite serious, and they had to convey the message that King Ji had asked them to convey to the Wei family.

"Xuan Ce, get ready. We will set off in the next two days."

After a few people left, Li Shen said something.

Wang Xuance came out from behind.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to prepare anything. We can be ready to go at any time."

"Then wait for two more days. Once your Majesty's condition stabilizes, we will set out to join Rengui and the others."

Li Shen nodded. They really had no preparation.

"Your Majesty, this was a close call. If Your Majesty hadn't returned in time, His Majesty might have...

I made some inquiries today and found out that there are undercurrents in the court and many people are preparing for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

I heard that the noble family is planning to send a concubine to the palace. &34;

Wang Xuance was still in shock. His Majesty almost died this time. You know, the longer His Majesty lives, the better life will be for Prince Ji's Mansion.

If His Majesty really passed away, the Ji Wang Mansion would have no idea what would happen. It was unknown whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would protect them, or whether he could protect them at all.

(Modern people would probably go crazy without the Internet. It’s too strenuous for this Aipai to type.)
