Actually, there was no need for the pig farm on the mountain to continue.
The main reason why it was still being kept was to cultivate excellent breeds. Moreover, the people from Quan Quan An had seen these hundreds of thousands of pigs being driven up the mountain. If they were not given an explanation and continued to drive them away, where would Zhang Feng put his face?
This was the most important thing.
However, the most important thing that made Zhang Feng determined was the Mid- Autumn Hunt.
The Mid- Autumn Hunt was usually held in the Royal Forest in the Qinling Mountains. However, due to the locust plague this year, there was no one in the forest.
Zhang Feng was certain that the Mid- Autumn Hunt this time would most likely be held in the Blue Sky Jade Mountain, which was near Mount Xiao!
As for Jade Mountain, Yu Lifei Mountain was relatively closer. When the time came, he just needed to invite these people to the food factory on the mountain. Hehe.
Regardless of whether they were from the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Rites, if they could resist Lao Tzu's culinary skills, it would be his loss!
At this time, after eating and drinking, would the pork and pig's gizzards be a problem?
That was what Zhang Feng wanted to do the most. Whose money was the easiest to earn?
The Emperor's money!
Who had more money than the Emperor?
In addition, the Emperor had already made a lot of money from the cooperative this time. If he did not take the opportunity to earn some money, he would be letting down Zhang Feng's cooperative.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng could not help but laugh.
"Cough, cough."
Ma Zhou saw Old Gao laughing while looking at Zhang Feng. Ma Zhou also wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to!
He could only remind Zhang Feng to stop laughing.
At this time, Zhang Feng also realized that he had lost his composure. He touched his nose and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."
"Let's get back to the topic. Old Gao, the farm on the mountain will definitely be closed in the future. However, I will set up an experimental base here to breed new breeds of pigs and other things. So, if you are interested, I will have to trouble you to help me."
"Experimental base?"
Old Gao was a little confused and asked, "Is it the same thing as this new breed of pig we're making now?"
Zhang Feng nodded and then shook his head. "Not exactly. Other than pigs, I will also have people bring in some plants from the outer realms. For example, a new type of corn and other things."
Corn, also known as millet.
The rice of this era.
They were basically called millet.
As for this thing, it tasted …
Hehe.
However, it was still too early to talk about these things. It was just drawing a big picture. The truth was to keep people here. As for Old Gao, he could survive in such a complicated place like the Palace. He had no problems with interpersonal relationships and management. Zhang Feng was relieved to leave this place to him.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Zhang Feng wanted to keep Ma Zhou in this experimental base.
That week, he was very meticulous.
Very suitable for this job.
Zhang Feng looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, what do you plan to do in the future? The pig will definitely not let you raise it. You've seen it for yourself. Have you thought about what you'll do in the future? "
Ma Zhou did not even have to think about it. He said, "Take the imperial examination and become an official in the Imperial Court!"
"Good ambition. However, do you really think that you can only learn things by becoming an official in the Imperial Court?"
This time, Ma Zhou was really asked the right question.
In his understanding, as well as most people's understanding, becoming an official in the Imperial Court and passing the imperial examination were important things that could change their fate.
Nothing could make them rise to prominence in one step more than this.
Zhang Feng pressed him step by step. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
Zhang Feng's question really stumped Ma Zhou.
"People have to have a goal in life. However, if everyone wants to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the Imperial Court, think about it. In this world, how many people can really pass the imperial examination?"
"There are people who spend their entire lives fighting for this dream even when they are old. They even forget that they live in straw huts and eat …"
"So, although I'm confident that you can pass the imperial examination in three years, what do you want to do after high school?"
"Look at Doctor Sun. He didn't become an official in the Imperial Court. Look at his achievements now. Even the Emperor has to stand up to greet him. Did he choose to become an official in the Imperial Court?"
"No!"
"Passing the imperial examination is just a hope for you now. When you achieve it, what do you want to do?"
Ma Zhou's heart suddenly became cold. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, please enlighten me!"
Looking at Zhang Feng, Gao could not help narrowing his eyes slightly.
At this time, Zhang Feng's words became more and more incomprehensible.
Was this why the Emperor and the Crown Prince were attracted to him?
Zhang Feng continued, "Sit down."
After Ma Zhou sat down, Zhang Feng said, "People always need a goal. At this time, passing the imperial examination is your current goal. But before you achieve this goal, what do you want to do? What are you going to do after you achieve it? "
Hearing this.
Ma Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Before the imperial examination in three years, I will listen to your arrangement. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Zhang Feng frowned slightly.
"I'm asking your own opinion. I don't need you to read it out."
Hearing this, Ma Zhou hurriedly wanted to get up, but he was pressed down by Zhang Feng.
"Master, in fact, I think it's quite good now. I like it very much. I just heard that you want to build an experimental base here. I want to stay in the experimental base."
"Hao Chujun and others have things to do now. Chen Tieniu and others also have things to do. Even the students in the paper mill are working. If I leave here, I really don't know what to do."
"The most important thing is that I like this way of life. I'm already enjoying watching the growth of pigs every day."
Gao was a little shocked when he heard this.
Was this place so good?
It smelled of pig dung. How was it good?
Was this what a decent person should do?
But Zhang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It seemed that he was not wrong about Ma Zhou.
This time, ever since it was recorded in history that after raising a horse, he really had a strange hobby.
"Good, very good!"
Zhang Feng patted Ma Zhou's shoulder and said, "Actually, I plan to build a research institute on the mountain. The dynamics, air resistance, atmospheric pressure, and so on that I asked you to learn, as well as the multiplication and division problems, are all preparations for the research institute in the future."
"And this place is naturally part of the research institute. When we were on the way here, I felt that you were suitable for botany and zoology. Now it seems that you are really suitable. Don't worry, from today onwards, as long as you work hard enough, I will definitely nurture you within three years. At that time, even if I, Zhang Feng, have to throw away my face, I will have Elder Sun teach you how to differentiate between plants and their characteristics. At that time, when you become a High Scholar, I will naturally have more important things for you."
"Ma Zhou!"
As he spoke, Zhang Feng's expression turned serious. "Are you willing to become someone who surpasses Elder Sun?"
Ma Zhou did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly bowed. "I am willing!"
