"From now on, as long as there are enough eggs, we can hatch enough chickens, ducks, and geese. We can even calculate the time to hatch chickens and ducks to maximize the benefits.
For example, we can hatch chickens in June and raise them for six months. Then we can kill them during the New Year. Not only will we not have to worry about sales, but the price will also be much higher.
We can even hatch chickens, ducks, and geese in advance so that they can start laying eggs when the weather warms up. This way, we can let you have an endless supply of eggs all year long. "
Meton's voice was very soft. He described a beautiful scene that made people's hearts palpitate and couldn't help but be immersed in it.
At the foot of a mountain, there was an ordinary family. The men weaved and the women plowed. The men used the curved plow to open up a large amount of land. The women spun and weaved at home. There were flocks of chickens, ducks, and geese. The children in the family were all white and chubby.
What a wonderful picture it was! The men plowed and the women weaved. It was an ideal country that countless people dreamed of. However, this ideal country was once very far away. But after today's exhibition, people suddenly realized that it seemed to be right in front of their eyes.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly. His heart was not calm. Waves rose and fell, and his breathing quickened.
That kind of life spread to every corner of the Tang dynasty. That would be the golden age of the Tang dynasty! And there was hope to reach the golden age of the Tang dynasty in his hands. How could Li Shimin, who had always pursued the holy name, not be filled with passion?
"Mo Jiazi is amazing!" Cheng Yaojin praised without hesitation. He was also a famous general who fought on horseback. Of course, he knew how hard life was for the common people. Artificial hatching technology could benefit the people.
Qin Qiong nodded in satisfaction. Modun was his nephew, and he had watched over him single-handedly. Fortunately, Modun did not disappoint him, and his own son had also participated in it, so he had to take some credit.
Yuchi Jingde looked at Yuchi Baolin with a silly smile on his face. His silly son had finally made a good friend. While the fops in Chang 'an City were all walking their horses and fighting, his son had already left them far behind. It seemed that his son had made a good friend.
Li Chengqian was also very excited. If it weren't for the fact that he still had many years of education as a crown prince, he would have rushed to the front of the stage to celebrate with Meton and the others. They were all his friends! They were all enjoying the limelight of the crowd, but he was feeling extremely sullen here.
On the high platform, Su Lingnong stared at these fluffy little creatures as if he was intoxicated. Those chirping noises were like a peerless song in his ears.
He felt that he was the happiest finance minister ever. He had the artificial breeding method in the fishery industry, the curved plough and the new type of mules in the agriculture industry, and the artificial hatching technology in the poultry industry.
It could be expected that from then on, a large number of fields would be reclaimed, fishermen would have a bumper harvest in the fishery industry, and every household would have a flock of chickens and ducks. All these changes were achieved when he was appointed as the finance minister.
However, all this was not over. Meton threw out another heavy bomb.
"Outside the South City Gate, there are 100 mu of fields being plowed with the curved plough. You are welcome to see it. And the Mo Family will continue to cooperate with the farmers in this 100 mu of fields as experimental fields. They will continue to screen the good seeds, improve the agricultural experiments, and increase the grain yield. I believe that in the future, the yield of one mu of fields will be four loads. Five loads, or even six loads, is not impossible? "
The grain yield in this era was very low. It was considered a high yield if one mu of fields could yield three loads. Five or six loads was something that people dared not to think about.
If Meton had said it before, people might have thought that Meton was bragging. But after witnessing the miracles of the Mo Family Village, everyone had a strange feeling. These seemingly impossible things seemed to be possible in Mo Jiazi's hands.
Inside the Imperial College.
Kong Yingda and the others were silent. They lowered their heads and chewed on the two words.
"Kang!"
This phrase had appeared in the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites. They were very familiar with it. They even read it once every day.
"Now that the Great Dao is hidden, the world is home. Each family has its own relatives, each son has its own son, goods for oneself. The age of the people is considered as etiquette, the ditch of the city is considered as solid. Etiquette and righteousness are the rules, the ruler and his subjects, the father and son, the brother and the wife, the system, the land, the virtuous, the brave, the wise, and the meritorious. The strategy is to act, and the war is to rise. Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Cheng Wang, Zhou Gong, these are the choices. Of these six gentlemen, none of them are not careful with etiquette. Using righteousness to test their faith, they have made mistakes. Using benevolence to show the people that they are upright. If there is a person who does not follow this, he will go, and the people will think that he is in trouble. This is called Kang. “
Kong Yingda read the Book of Rites silently and sighed in his heart. A classic Confucian phrase was applied by the School of Mo and given a unique standard — to eat meat.
In an instant, the phrase "kang" suddenly became concrete, as if it was born this way. If a family could eat meat every day, it would indeed reach a kang.
It was just that the kang that the Confucians pursued was more reflected in the spiritual level, while the School of Mo directly reflected it in the living standards.
No one mocked the goal of eating meat as vulgar, because there were far too many people in the Great Tang who couldn't eat meat. Moreover, during each disaster year, even the Emperor would pretend to eat vegetables for a few days to show that he was willing to help the world overcome its difficulties.
Eating meat was indeed a luxury in the Tang dynasty. During the Spring Festival, every family in the Mo Family Village got two or three kilograms of pork. Many villagers cried when they went back home, because this was the most sumptuous Spring Festival they had ever had. But for many families, even having a full meal was a luxury, not to mention eating meat.
"Humph! Mo Jiazi seems to have lived a good life for a few days. He is so arrogant, but his Mo family only has meat for a few days! "Liu Yinian said sarcastically.
However, when the messenger stuttered that the Mo Family's Village had developed the artificial incubation technology, Liu Yinian felt as if he had been slapped in the face, which was burning hot.
With artificial incubation technology, it could be foreseen that the Mo village would be full of chickens and ducks. Not to mention eating meat, it was not impossible to have a chicken for every meal!
Especially when the messenger said that the Mo village was about to set up an experimental field and develop a fine seed with a yield of six kilograms per mu, Liu Yinian could no longer refute Meton, because Meton had created miracles again and again.
"Let's go to the exhibition of Mo skills!" Kong Yingda suddenly stood up and made up his mind.
"Chancellor!" All the doctoral assistants were shocked and looked at Kong Yingda in disbelief.
"What's wrong? You don't want to go?" Kong Yingda frowned.
All the doctoral assistants were embarrassed. It was really embarrassing for them to lower their heads and go to the exhibition of Mo skills.
"Humph! The Mo village does have a sectarian bias, but it is also a battle of ideas. But if we don't do anything in the face of the miraculous technology that can create the prosperity of the Tang dynasty, it will be our dereliction of duty. "Kong Yingda's words made everyone blush and feel ashamed.
"Chancellor, you are right. We are wrong." Shen Hongcai took a deep breath and said. Then he stood up first and followed Kong Yingda to leave.
All the doctoral assistants also stood up and followed Kong Yingda.
