Chapter 2061 Development of Animal Husbandry
Not to mention Li Tai, everyone else could also hear the resentment in Li Shen's words.
As everyone knows, the mansions of Li Tai and Li Zhi were awarded by His Majesty. They were an area of one block and had hundreds of servants.
From the initial fifty acres of land to the entire block of land later, Li Shen built them all brick by brick himself, without spending a penny of Your Majesty's money.
It seems that Li Shen still has resentment in his heart, which has not been resolved for more than ten years.
Lu Dingniang opened her eyes wide, her eyelashes fluttered and she blinked twice. Was she talking about herself as her husband?
When had her husband ever gotten up early? She had been married for five or six years, and except for occasionally getting up early to attend court, she had never seen her husband get up early.
What's more, he only goes to court a few times a year.
And you make money every day and put it in your own hands? Are you a Tathagata Buddha? Do you have such big hands?
The daily flow of water in Prince Ji's Mansion is innumerable. If it were in her hands, she would be crushed to death.
My husband really likes to talk nonsense and tell lies. Isn't what he said too pitiful?
"Fourth brother, I don't blame Aye, I just speak out my feelings.
Doesn’t Fourth Brother always want to cooperate with me to make money?
This is an opportunity. You can also go outside the city and buy a piece of land. If you want to get rich, you can raise a donkey.
You go to court every day, don't make much money, and are always impeached. You should learn from me. Raising donkeys is a very profitable business. It's no problem to make tens of thousands of strings of cash a year.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to sell so much grain for much money, so you might as well use it to feed donkeys.
If you don't want to make donkey hide gelatin at that time, I can buy it. I will never treat you unfairly."
Li Shen realized that if he relied on himself to manage animal husbandry, the people of the Tang Dynasty would have no idea when they would be able to eat meat.
It would be better to learn from cotton and drag these aristocratic families into the water.
As more and more people follow the trend of breeding, meat in the Tang Dynasty will gradually become cheaper.
Li Shen also wanted to develop the Industrial Revolution, but it was impossible for him to do it alone. Without an industrial foundation and talent pool, the Industrial Revolution was nothing but empty talk.
He can only play with himself.
It would be better to develop animal husbandry, make people's lives better first, and then cultivate a large number of talents.
More importantly, although the Tang Dynasty is still prosperous, there are still some unstable factors.
Li Shen's words made Li Tai fall into deep thought. No matter what Li Shen's character was, the method he just mentioned was indeed feasible, and tens of thousands of strings of cash a year was not a small amount.
His total salary was only about ten thousand strings of cash a year.
It was obvious that he was moved.
Li Zhi frowned. He felt that Li Tai was a little moved. He touched Li Tai gently and gave him a wink.
What it means is don't be fooled by Li Shen.
"Haha, thank you very much for your kind advice, Old Ten. We'll talk about it when we have time." Li Tai turned around and laughed.
Li Shen didn't mind.
"Mother, I came here to visit Grandpa. I wonder how Grandpa feels today?"
Li Shen also changed the subject.
"Much better. When I went to visit your father today, Wang De said that the diarrhea had eased and he took another dose of medicine this morning.
Doctor Sun also gave me an injection, and I also ate steamed garlic and drank hydrochloric acid.
Looks more energetic than yesterday."
When Li Shimin was mentioned, Empress Chang Sun smiled. In just one day, His Majesty's condition began to improve. Li Shen was indeed a blessed man.
As soon as he came back, he brought good luck to Your Majesty.
"That's good, mother. I'll go visit grandpa." After hearing the good news, Li Shen finally felt relieved.
"Well, your father should be awake at this hour, go check it out."
Queen Changsun nodded.
"Huh?" Li Tai and Li Zhi were a little dumbfounded. Didn't their mother say this just now? Didn't she say not to disturb Aye's rest?
"Mother, we also want to go visit Aye." Li Zhi said hurriedly.
Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment and said, "You can go, but you must inform him. If your father doesn't want to see you, don't force him."
"Why..." Li Zhi was about to ask, but was stopped by Li Tai.
"Yes, I will naturally obey Aye's orders."
"Well, go ahead then."
"Sons, I'm leaving." The three Li Shen brothers stood up, saluted to Empress Changsun, and then left.
After leaving the Queen's bedroom and coming outside, Li Shen looked back at Li Zhi and Li Tai, then said to his young wife:
"My wife, please go to mother's place and talk to her. Tell her that I will go to her later to pay my respects and deliver the things to her."
"Yes, my lord." Lu Dingniang nodded, bowed to Li Tai and Li Zhi, and left with the servants.
After the two returned the greeting, they saw Lu Dingniang and a dozen servants carrying five or six large wooden boxes away. They could guess without thinking,
These five or six large boxes contained the gifts that Li Shen had just presented to the Queen, but they were several times more than before.
Oh, this guy is really amazing. He can make their mothers smile with just a little thing, and the gift he gives to his biological mother is even more enviable.
The three of them came to Hanfeng Hall together, and Li Shen saw at first glance that the altar from yesterday was still there.
"Why is this thing still here?"
Li Shen asked a eunuch casually.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, this altar was used by you to pray for His Majesty yesterday, so the chief steward said that Your Highness might need it again, so it was kept."
The eunuch hurried to report.
"Left by Wang De? Haha, I don't think he is that loyal and patriotic." Hearing that it was left by Wang De, Li Shen couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, you are wrongly accusing me. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that."
Wang De appeared out of nowhere and scared Li Shen.
"This old servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Ji."
"Don't be so polite, Mr. Wang." Li Tai said politely. This was his father's confidant and the person he trusted the most. Wang De's words were more effective than pillow talk.
Li Shen was not so polite. He pointed at the altar and said:
"I say, Old King, I am not wronging you, but you are keeping it, do you still want me, Aye, to eat the incense ash?"
“Oh, how dare I? I left the altar here because I prayed for Your Majesty yesterday, and I want to remove it after Your Majesty recovers.
This old slave is afraid of the blame from the heavens." Wang De immediately explained with wrinkled face, but there was no fear on his face.
"Okay, let's withdraw. It's useless. The wind will blow dust everywhere." Li Shen waved his hand.
"Can we really withdraw now?" Wang De confirmed again.
"If I tell you to withdraw, then withdraw. If anything goes wrong, I will take the blame. Don't forget, I am the God of Wealth. When the time comes, I will go to heaven to talk to them and show them what money can do."
Li Shen urged impatiently.
Wang De immediately ordered his servants to remove the altar, which was actually just a table and some offerings.
(I just discovered today that the Chinese character for "livestock" is polyphonic. It turns out that "livestock" and "livestock" are not pronounced the same way.)
