How can a person who has never read a book understands a book and get what insights can he get from it?

The most terrifying thing is that there are so many people in this world who have never read books.

Chen Shisan in front of him is one of them.

From this person, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to know whether these thousands of people could truly understand Mingsong as Fang Jifan said, and what he could learn from it.

If... Chen Shisan could benefit a lot from it.

This is enough to make people feel terrible.

Because there may be only one emperor in the world.

There are thousands of civil and military officials.

There are 100,000 scholars.

But there are tens of millions of people.

If a person can get some benefits from it, then the benefits accumulated by tens of millions of people will be enough to shake the world.

Emperor Hongzhi still looked at Chen Shisan. Seeing that his face was slightly timid and his body was like a sieve, Emperor Hongzhi's face seemed even more gentle, and said with a kind look: "You are learning very fast, but in just a few dozen days, you have learned more than a hundred words?"

Although Chen Shisan was a little nervous, he still tried hard to answer: "Xiaomin learned characters and guessed it. In some places, he asked each other for advice. It's not that Xiaomin had any cleverness, but... he could get real benefits after reading this book, so Xiaomin... had to learn it. Xiaomin himself didn't understand it, and he couldn't understand any other books at all. It was this book that could actually see that there was no difference."

Emperor Hongzhi was happy and said with a smile: "Because this is a strange book."

As he said that, he looked around.

Many of the ministers on both sides looked very unnatural.

Emperor Hongzhi withdrew his gaze and then said, "Okay, I believe in your family, then, I will compete with you. Which passage do you like to read the most?"

Chen Shisan immediately said: "There is a passage that the common people can not only read but also recite. This passage is recognized by the common people who turn into ashes. It comes from the ninth section of the Ming Song, the third section of the Pig Raising, and the postpartum care of sows."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

"Ahem...ahhhh..."

In Chongwen Hall, coughs suddenly sounded one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi ignored it, but he was interested in knocking the desk with his fingers and said lightly: "Come on your back and listen."

Chen Shisan calmed down and said bravely: "First, the sows should be eaten less before delivery to avoid infection with worms before delivery. Second, before delivery, the sows should be cleaned, especially the feces, and must not be piled up in the circle. Third, during delivery, the piglets should be lifted with the left hand and the umbilical cord with the right hand. The knotted part should be half an inch from the navel. Fourth, after delivery, the sow's old milk should be squeezed out and the milk production part should be cleaned. If conditions permit, iodine wine should be used. Fifth, during the care period, the piglets should be observed, and the weight should be reached within three weeks. Sixth: the sows produce milk, which is related to the survival of the piglets, and it is advisable to feed sweet potato leaves, beets, etc...."

Chen Shisan memorized it so much that Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but open the book. Compared with the words, he found that except for a few places, Chen Shisan had recognized the wrong words, the others were just like those in the book.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment.

Although I know this book is a good book, I always feel a bit funny when I listen to it.

After Chen Shisan finished memorizing it, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Why are you interested in this?"

"Because... Caomin plans to raise pigs."

“…”

These words... are so outspoken.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing, but felt that his questions were a little redundant.

But all the officials burst into laughter.

Emperor Hongzhi coughed and suppressed the laughter: "Well? The Qing family has never raised pigs before? Can't they afford to raise them?"

"It's not that I can't afford to raise it." Chen Shisan gradually relaxed and replied honestly: "But it may not be profitable if I raise it. At the beginning, the cost of raising pigs was too high, and it was really impossible to afford it. At that time, after all, I couldn't eat enough for myself, and people couldn't eat enough for me, so where could I eat for pigs? But after that, with sweet potatoes first, Xiaomin barely couldn't go hungry. Later, Xishan Money House began to recruit tenants, and the villain signed up. Who knew that Xiaomin's family of seven actually rented thirty acres of land, and it was not rentable. Xiaomin thought that this not only allowed me to eat and drink enough, but I was afraid... In addition to paying His Majesty's imperial grain, I was afraid that there was still some surplus at home."

The Chongwen Hall suddenly became quiet.

The Xishan Money House obtained countless lands. Although the gentry was full of grief, today... Emperor Hongzhi really saw a commoner under his rule and was grateful for the rent-free incident.

But at this time, Chen Shisan began to feel sad: "Xiaomin hates it, I hate it only hates it. Xiaomin has two brothers, they are born short-lived and cannot live today. They... They... They were in a disaster year and starved to death. If there would be Xishan Money House and the land that His Majesty and Duke of Qi were distributed without rent, they... They... are afraid that now... now..."

Chen Shisan's body trembled.

It is already a lucky thing for a villain like this to live to be as thirty as Chen Shisan. Those dead people remain in the hearts of their closest relatives, and for others who have long been accustomed to life and death, they will be forgotten in this world and have had this short life.

When Chen Shisan talked about his two brothers who had starved to death, tears couldn't stop flowing down.

At this moment, Chongwen Hall is particularly quiet.

Perhaps some ministers have long been used to treating human lives as grass, treating them as ants, and even denounce them as mountain village men.

But now... when I see a grass man, I will cry like them, and deep down I have the same emotions as them.

This common empathy of mankind cannot help but reveal some of it.

So... all the officials were silent, and there was no sound in the hall except Chen Shisan's crying.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned involuntarily, his eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be deeply infected. He was a soft-hearted person, but he couldn't help but shed tears.

Subconsciously, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, then nodded, and encouraged Chen Shisan: "The Qing family will continue to talk about whether it is because of the surplus grain that they dare to raise pigs."

Chen Shisan wiped his tears and said, "This is not. Even if it is surplus grain, I dare not waste it at will. Your Majesty... It can be seen that raising pigs not only means wasteing food, but also building a pig house, which costs manpower. It's okay, the loss in this is amazing. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the production of sows, if you give birth to ten heads and five heads, it's lucky. If you can feed three heads, it's a lucky thing. If you don't have good luck, you may not be able to survive either head, then all your hard work will be in vain. At that time, you can't even cry even if you want to cry."

In this world, even human life is like grass, and the survival rate is terrible. Therefore, people have the concept of having more children and more blessings, because the more sons they have, the possibility of their own incense continues. As for this pig's life... there is no need to mention it.

Chen Shisan continued: "The reason why Xiaomin went to find a few piglets and planned to raise pigs is because Xiaomin learned some methods of raising pigs from this Ming Song. These methods were tried for the tribe members in the village. Sure enough, according to the book, the survival of this piglet can be as high as 70% to 80%, 70% to 80%. Your Majesty, Xiaomin doesn't know any major principles, but only knows that the first 30% of the survival has doubled. As long as you are willing to spend time, you will have meat to eat in the future, and even... you can get money. If you are not lucky, you will not lose too much. If you don't raise such pigs, you will die young."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, nowadays, there are more and more people willing to raise pigs in the farm. Who doesn't want to eat meat? The common people have hands and feet, and some strength. As long as they don't break the book, there are some ways to take care of sows and piglets in the book of Mingsong. Are you still reluctant to leave this little strength and food?"

When Chen Shisan said this, everyone finally understood.

I see.

These people are actually very smart.

They know better than anyone else about the gains and losses of calculating interests.

This is different from the people in this temple. People in the temple calculate big profits, and they can even abandon the small profits in front of them and pursue greater benefits.

Therefore... they often claim to have wisdom that is different from ordinary people.

In fact... it is not that the common people have no brains, but for the common people, every investment they have to be petty and careful, because any mistake may make them hungry and they cannot afford the risk of making mistakes. Therefore... it seems that they are petty, but they only have small profits, but they still have a different kind of survival wisdom.

Emperor Hongzhi saw Chen Shisan crying and laughing. When Chen Shisan talked about raising pigs, he seemed to have a different light in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "How many pigs do you have your family raise?"

Chen Shisan replied honestly: "I bought a total of six piglets. I just raised them. I bought them from Xiaomin's brother."

Emperor Hongzhi said in surprise: "Have you raised so much?"

Chen Shisan said: "You have to be careful, now half of it is free-range. The other half will cut some pig grass or feed it with some miscellaneous grains. If it can be slaughtered, Xiaomin's life will be prosperous this year. Xiaomin plans to do this year, and he has to slaughter it with his belt. After surviving this year, he has gained money. By the end of the year, Xiaomin even plans to slaughter a pig. In addition to sharing some food for the people in the village, he can also eat meat every time at the end of the year. For the rest, buy some salt and pickle it. Even this pig head can be used to worship ancestors. If the ancestors know that Xiaomin uses pig head meat to sacrifice them, there is a spirit in heaven, and I don't know how relieved it is."
