In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing was good. He, Li Shimin, also wanted to do it, but this thing consumed too much food.
Originally, one mu of land required one jin of seeds. Now, Li Shimin calculated that it was at least three times the amount! This was not including the other things.
Then what was the use of picking the rest?
Eating?
That was to say, on average, a family with more than ten mu of land would need at least thirty jin of wheat to be able to filter out the seeds …
How many people were there in the Tang Dynasty?
How many people were there in the Tang Dynasty?
How much food was there?
If this was a normal day, it would be fine. They could save it all. But at this time, how could they save it?
Not to mention the seeds, even now, there was not enough to eat. The food they had now was basically all of Li Shimin's savings. If something were to happen, he would have to starve.
At this time, Li Shimin did not dare to imagine what would happen if something were to happen in the future. After all, although there was no news from Qiuci for the time being, a war with Qiuci would happen sooner or later. Once it broke out, it would be the most terrifying thing. At that time, there would be no food at all.
Then …
At this time, Li Shimin's worried face stunned Li Chengqian. He looked at the expressions of Yu Shinan, Yuchi Gong, and the others. Although their eyes were full of surprise and love when they looked at the seeds, there seemed to be some worry. Li Chengqian could not help but ask in surprise, "Father, you are …"
Li Shimin sighed and glanced at Zhang Feng in the villa, then said, "This matter, let's not talk about it for now. This matter … can be discussed later!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Father, you have seen this seed. If it is really popularized, then as Fengzi said, the Tang Dynasty will really not lack food anymore! This is a good thing, how about … "
"Do you know that the Tang Dynasty really can't afford to waste this thing at this time? Do you know how much food we have now? Gone! They were all gone! Even the grain stored in the prefecture has been released. But this is still not enough to satisfy the people of the entire Tang Dynasty. What do you think will happen if Fengzi's set of things are brought out at this time? "
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Father, that's where you're wrong. Actually, Feng Zi has already said that although this method wastes food, the filtered food can still be eaten. This doesn't mean that all of it can be wasted. Furthermore, look at the quality of the seeds. Think about the pigs that Feng Zi mentioned before."
Instantly.
Only then did everyone remember the 300,000 pigs that had rushed up the mountain.
At this time, hearing Li Chengqian mention it, Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise, "Didn't the pig's gizzard already finish?"
"That's right. Speaking of those pigs, didn't Feng Zi slaughter all of them in the food factory at the foot of the mountain last time? Why are you bringing this up now?"
Yu Shinan and the others didn't care about these things.
It could be said that after Zhang Feng brought those pigs up the mountain, they didn't pay attention to this matter anymore. In addition, last time Zhang Feng went to slaughter those pigs down the mountain with great fanfare. After that, they didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.
They only knew that Zhang Feng, Li Chengqian, and the others made a lot of achievements in Chang 'an City, and then the same thing happened in the whole Tang Dynasty. For a while, because of the locust disaster, more than half of the pigs that were brought over from Tubo disappeared in an instant.
At this time, when they heard Li Chengqian mention it, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Ouyang Xun hurriedly asked, "Tell us in detail. Did Feng Zi start to do this thing again? Then what's the matter with the pigs? "
Li Shimin was also a little surprised.
Li Chengqian glanced at them and said with a stiff face, "Do you still remember why Feng Zi asked Old Gao and the others to go up the mountain?"
After asking this question.
In an instant.
Li Shimin and the others thought of the purpose of Old Gao and the others to go up the mountain.
It was all for the sake of baiting pigs …
Could it be …
For a while.
They couldn't help but look strange. They looked at Zhang Feng who was lying on the chair in the villa behind them and asked, "Aren't the pigs all gone? At this time, what do you mean by this? "
Li Chengqian said speechlessly, "Although the pigs on the mountain are gone, do you still remember the butcher? Zheng Tufu? The one who used to live in the gray building with Old Gao. "
That butcher instantly reminded Li Shimin and the others.
They seemed to have also found that they hadn't seen him for a long time, so they asked in surprise, "Qian 'er, tell me this matter in detail!"
Then, Li Chengqian told him everything about how the pigs were selected for breeding, and how Zheng Tufu went down the mountain to promote this new breed of pig that did not have a bad smell, and how they could grow two hundred catties of fat pigs in three months, as well as the pig feed. He told him everything in detail. .
This time.
Not to mention Li Shimin.
Even Yu Shinan and the others looked at each other with a dumbfounded expression.
This matter seemed to be a small matter.
But what did this mean?
In the short span of two months, Zhang Feng had already changed the breed of pig that everyone despised.
And now, although they hadn't seen that kind of pig, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the pork they ate now didn't have a bad smell …
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng's villa in surprise and said, "I finally understand why this guy asked me for a carpenter so mysteriously. I see, I see!"
