How could Zhang Feng not notice their actions?
He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, you can find this craftsman. He won't be used on you, so don't worry. Also, this matter must be kept a secret. Oh right, if you can find an old eunuch, that would be great!"
"…"
Damn it.
This was not targeted at them?
Right now, there were only a few of them here!
And not only did he want to find a craftsman, but he also wanted to find an old eunuch. Not only did he want to beat people, but he also wanted to beat ghosts!
"Hey, Fengzi! We're brothers, aren't we? Are you provoked by this imperial edict? Don't take it too hard! "
"That's right, Fengzi. What's there to take it too hard? Isn't it just an imperial edict? Isn't it just that you didn't find anyone? If that's the case, I'll go back today and tell my father to ask Lord Zhangsun again to see if he can get another imperial edict. What do you think? "
At first, Zhang Feng was quite touched by their words.
But when he listened to them, why did the meaning change?
Zhang Feng couldn't help but wave his hand.
"Get lost, your second uncle!"
"Lao Tzu asked Ning to assassinate. Just do it and be done with it. Why are you still chattering here?"
"You'll find out about this craftsman in the future. Also, I have something to tell you …"
"No, Fengzi, you have to make it clear when the time comes!"
Li Chengqian interrupted Zhang Feng and pressed him down on the recliner. He said, "We know a little about this grain. You want to use the grain as bait to lure those students. I can understand the chicken and duck, but the pig …"
"To put it bluntly, there aren't many people who would eat this pig. Apart from the poor commoners who would eat a little, and the pork that you've processed with special methods to make it edible, the pork on the market, let alone the rich, even those who have a little money would only buy it to feed their cats and dogs …"
The pork of the Tang Dynasty was very pungent.
There was also a strong earthy smell, so in terms of meat, mutton occupied the main position. As for pigs, except for those that were born within three months, the rest of the pigs were basically bred or used as sows.
Therefore …
In the Tang Dynasty, not many people ate pork.
But even so, those poor people were still scrambling for it. Why?
Poor!
They couldn't afford anything else.
He could only get a little of this stuff, and then use the big pot that was used to boil bath water to boil a big pot. Then, he added some flour paste, cumin powder, and a big handful of the bitter salt from before the fine salt came out.
Only then was it barely edible.
Other than that, not many people were interested in this pork.
Those with money went to buy mutton, chicken, or duck.
Who the f * ck would buy such a thing that smelled so bad?
But at this time, what did Zhang Feng want these pigs for?
They had heard from Li Shimin that Zhang Feng was going to use a large number of pigs to deal with the locusts, and then sell them.
At first, they just thought it was a joke, or maybe he just wanted to buy some small pork. But now?
Those pigs were more ferocious than the locusts. Wherever they went, the ground was as if it had been plowed. Not to mention the locusts, even the rotten things in the ground were eaten up.
This time, not to mention the little piglets, all the pigs were shiny and smooth. Otherwise, why would Butcher Zheng have the money to send over a whole fat pig?
And to entertain the people on the whole street.
This little bit of meat …
If it weren't for the ten sheep sent by the Zhang Mansion, and the fifty sheep that Zhou Dafu and the others brought along when they came, how could it be enough?
But now?
Zhang Feng actually wanted to buy something that couldn't be sold and couldn't even be given away?
What for?
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be confused.
Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously.
"For this matter, just do as I say. Those pigs will definitely be of great use in three months! So don't worry. "
"As for those grains, chickens, and ducks, I naturally have a use for them. Isn't there a famine now? And our fifty thousand mu of land is barren! Isn't our college not famous enough? But if I use all of these twenty thousand dans of grain to give porridge, what do you think the effect will be? "
Buzz —!
Li Chengqian and the others' minds couldn't help but explode.
Twenty thousand dans of grain!
All of it to give porridge?
What the hell …
Feng Zi had really gone crazy!
If he used these twenty thousand dans of grain for other things, even if he sold them at the original price, it would still be acceptable. But now, he actually wanted to give porridge???
But if you want to give porridge, then so be it. This is understandable. You want to spread the name of White Deer College. But what's up with the chickens and ducks?
And those pigs?
Do you want to keep these things here in captivity?
Do you know that outside Chang 'an City, those things that even the Emperor was worried sick about were almost given away as gifts?
No!
Now, even if they were given away, no one would dare to accept them!
Most importantly, these things were too much of a waste of grain.
Who could afford to rear fifty-seven thousand chickens, ducks, and thousands of fat pigs?
Who could!!!
