Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

"Besides, even if I say so, when I go to Yangzhou, I'm afraid the 21 Household Department will forget about me as soon as I turn around."

Li Ke then said with some emotion.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Tang Jian understood what Li Ke meant.

Obviously just want to see his attitude!

If his attitude is in Li Ke's interests, then Li Ke has good suggestions.

If his attitude is not in Li Ke's interests, then Li Ke has no good suggestions.

Li Ke is too real!

Tang Jian was a little speechless. He and Li Shimin were best friends since childhood.

Li Ke really didn't give him any face!

"His Royal Highness, am I the kind of person who turns my face and refuses to recognize anyone?"

"I assure you, as long as I am still the Secretary of the Household Department, you will always be the Household Department's consultant!"

Tang Jian thought for a while, and expressed his opinion to Li Ke.

He was originally on Li Ke's side, and he had been in the briquette business with Li Ke before.

And since he wanted to change departments with Li Ke, Li Shimin warned him to focus on checking the results of the household department.

There is no way, the big boss above demands performance, so he can only find Li Ke.

But Li Ke is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle.

He had no choice but to continue to follow Li Ke all the way to the dark.

"Master Tang's character, I naturally believe in it."

Li Ke nodded with a smile, and Tang Jian made his statement, then everything is easy to talk about.

"Your Highness, can you tell me quickly?"

Tang Jian was really anxious!

Li Ke is about to go to Yangzhou. If Li Ke leaves, and he can't meet the grades Li Shimin requires.

In the end, he had to be reprimanded by Li Shimin, it was too difficult for him!

"Has Master Tang ever considered developing the breeding and planting industry?"

Li Ke's expression became serious, and he started discussing with Tang Jian.

"Aquaculture and planting industry?"

Tang Jian was taken aback for a moment, but he hadn't thought about it.

Isn't this all about common people raising some chickens and ducks at home?

As for planting, it is basically common people who grow some by themselves, and then sell them in the market.

Isn't this the breeding and planting industry?

"Large-scale planting and breeding, using more advanced technology, a large number of breeding and planting."

"In this way, my Datang's supplies will be richer."

Li Ke simply explained the idea to Tang Jian.

Wealth does not mean how much copper, how much silver, or how much gold you have.

Can gold be eaten?

Does not.

The deep meaning of gold is actually similar to that of paper money.

You can't eat or drink, it's just a currency.

Currency can buy goods, provided that there are goods.

If there is no material, then gold is worthless except for jewelry.

Therefore, the root of wealth is the adequacy of materials.

For example, a country has 1 taels of gold, but no supplies.

A country has 20 catties of pork, 10 bolts of cloth, 10 catties of chicken, duck and fish, and 5 eggs.

Which of these two countries is richer?

Therefore, if the Ministry of Households wants to become rich, Datang wants to become rich.

It's not about how much gold to earn, but to find a way to produce more materials!

Only when the material is sufficient, is it really rich.

Otherwise, once supplies are tight, prices will inevitably skyrocket.

Soaring prices bring depreciation of money.

In the past, one penny could buy more than two catties of rice, but when there was not enough rice, one penny might not be able to buy even one catty.

At this time, the value of money is very low.

However, if the amount of rice is too much, it is too much to eat.

Then maybe you can buy three catties, four catties, or even five catties of rice for one penny.

And at this time, the value of money is high.

Therefore, Li Ke's suggestion to the household department is to use advanced technology to breed and plant on a large scale!

Raise poultry, such as pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, etc.

Pigs can sell pork, lard, etc.

Chickens and ducks can lay eggs, which has greatly improved Datang's egg production.

Cows and sheep can produce milk, which greatly increased Datang's milk production.

Grow crops like cotton, canola, fruit trees and more.

Cotton can be used to weave cotton cloth, rapeseed can be pressed to produce rapeseed oil, and fruit trees can bear various fruits.

These can be collectively referred to as materials!

As long as more materials are produced, Datang will become richer.

This is why Li Ke brought high-yield rice and wheat seeds here.

How can we talk about being rich if we can’t even eat enough?

Only when the amount of rice and wheat harvested each year is too large to fit in the warehouse, is it called rich.

"You mean the government will run the farms and plantations?"

Tang Jian had a little brain, but he still didn't understand it very well.

"The government can do it, but the most important thing is for everyone to work together!"

"Ben Wang thinks that the Ministry of Household Affairs should do a good job in the inspection of the farms, the inspection of various materials, and the regulation of prices."

"The specific things of breeding and planting should be left to private businessmen."

What Li Ke meant was that the household department mainly plays the role of supervision and review.

For example, supervise whether the construction of the farm is in place, the sanitation situation, the disease situation and so on.

Otherwise, if the sanitation is not in place and those bad diseases occur, it will be a disaster.

As well as the supervision of the quality of materials for sale on the market, etc.

In addition, once the output of materials fluctuates up and down, prices must also be regulated.

As for the specific breeding and planting work, there will naturally be discerning businessmen who will do it.

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but is there really anyone willing to raise pigs?"

Tang Jian nodded, but then looked at Li Ke in embarrassment.

At this time, pigs did not actually have castration technology.

In other words, the current pigs are not castrated.

Pigs that have not been castrated have strong male hormones in their bodies, which will make the pig's meat very unpalatable!

Very bad taste!

And there is an unpleasant smell when eating.

Therefore, the upper class and many people in Datang are reluctant to eat pork.

Moreover, pigs that have not been castrated are vigorous and don't grow much meat.

"This king naturally has a way to solve the problem of unpalatable pork."

Li Ke smiled and said confidently.

Pork is basically the mainstream meat in modern times.

It is because the pigs are castrated, the androgen in the body is reduced, and the taste of the meat becomes better.

And because of castration, the pigs lose their desire, and they know how to eat and sleep every day, and eat when they sleep.

This way you can grow fat like crazy!

Therefore, it only needs to be castrated to increase the production of pig meat and improve the taste.

The only loss is that the pig loses the most important thing, but that doesn't matter!

"How to solve?"

Hearing this, Tang Jian looked at Li Ke in surprise.

We must know that pork is unpalatable, but it has been a big problem that has plagued us for many years.

As a prince, Li Ke basically doesn't come into contact with pork, let alone live pigs.

He really didn't expect that Li Ke would know how to solve this problem!

This really shocked him.

"Castration."

Li Ke smiled slightly and told Tang Jian how to solve it.

"Castration?"

Tang Jian was even more surprised.

What kind of solution is this?

In addition to the eunuchs who enter the palace must be castrated, pigs must also be castrated?

Will it be sent to the palace after castration?

Li Ke then explained to Tang Jian the importance of castration and the effects of castration.

Tang Jian's eyes widened after hearing this, obviously he didn't expect such a miraculous effect!

94 "Ben Wang has written a detailed book on poultry and aquaculture, as well as key points and precautions for planting various crops."

"The people in the household department should memorize this book by heart, and then train a group of technical instructors to go to various farms and planting areas to give technical guidance."

Li Ke took out a printed book.

This book is called "Cultivation and Planting Encyclopedia"!

It is the content of planting and breeding that Li Ke intercepted from "Friends of Military and Local Dual-Purpose Talents", a must-have book for travelers.

The content inside is very complete, including various poultry and aquatic farming techniques and precautions.

There are also various fruit trees, planting of crops and so on.

Including improved grafting techniques and more.

In the future, a batch of this book will be printed, and each farm and planting area must have a copy.

All operations and processes must be carried out in accordance with the above.

Only by using advanced technology, standardized management, and standard operation can the output be maximized!
