Xiao Jing, who was standing beside him, could only eat some leftovers after serving His Majesty!

But at this time, he was also hungry. When he heard the prince and His Majesty say it was so fragrant, he couldn't help but feel a little drooling. He was about to serve the soup for Emperor Hongzhi.

Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty, when you come to the West Mountain, it is better to serve the soup yourself."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and then looked at Fang Jifan strangely: "Is there so many rules in Xishan?"

"Yes." Fang Jifan said with confidence: "The prince and minister, because the farmers have worked hard, they want to let the nobles and wealthy families in the capital taste the hardships here. They plan to list a farmhouse here and recruit people to come here to play. When they get here, no matter whoever needs to do it himself..."

Farmhouse...

Emperor Hongzhi thought this name was very vulgar.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this vulgarity is filled with a few different kind of elegant tastes.

Yes, there are so many people in Beijing who are not diligent and have no grains to share, so it is a good thing to come here to exercise.

Besides, it’s not bad here. Don’t I usually have clothes to reach out and eat to open my mouth? I was really tired when I was digging potatoes just now, but after the taste, I felt it was a different experience.

At least in this Ming Dynasty, this Western Mountain is unique.

wrong……

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi gradually reminisces something!

No wonder Fang Jifan encouraged the prince to come. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to promote his farmhouse?

This guy is really a sloppy.

But when I thought about it, Emperor Hongzhi was obviously happy to see it!

Instead of exposing the seemingly hidden purpose behind Fang Jifan, he said to the ministers: "Your nephews, you should also come here for more walks, which is beneficial."

As he said that, he got up, served a bowl of soup in person, and then drank a sip, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

When you first enter the mouth, it has a light salty taste, and then it is mixed with a rich fresh and sweet taste of meat.

Is the pork…so tasted?

He felt more and more bizarre and couldn't help but say to Fang Jifan: "Is this really pork?"

"Your Majesty, this is pork." Fang Jifan said without hesitation: "I have always been a good person, and I can use the reputation guarantee I have accumulated for many years."

Emperor Hongzhi felt even more strange. Obviously, in his perception, pork should not taste like this.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the broth in front of him and said in surprise: "This pig is different from the pigs elsewhere."

While speaking, the ministers had already started to act. Since His Majesty thought the pig-killing dish was delicious, everyone naturally started to take action!

Sure enough, after tasting it, the taste was excellent.

Perhaps later generations mainly eat pork since childhood, so they don’t think the pork is so delicious, but instead think beef and mutton are more delicious.

But in this era, it is reversed.

After taking the first bite, the appetite was really opened. Some people like to eat this fat meat. After taking a bite, they were filled with ointment. It was so happy that they couldn't help but want to recite poems.

Emperor Hongzhi continued to ask, "I have never eaten such pork. Let me tell you, where did this pig come from?"

Emperor Hongzhi said this, but it was also fundamental. There was something strange about this pig.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Since the military farm is a military farm, of course it is not just a planting. This raising of animal husbandry is also related to military farming. I have been very concerned about this animal husbandry, especially over the years, I have been inspired by Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a sacrificing thing about military farming..."

"Tell me the point!" Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Fang Jifan with a disgusting look on his face.

Fang Jifan had to say embarrassedly: "This pig is indeed unique. It is raised by a special method. Not only is the meat delicious, but it also... the meat is more grown than ordinary pigs."

"There is more meat?" Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly, not caring much.

But Fang Jifan's next sentence shocked many people, and he said: "It's the same pig, the old breeding, can grow from piglets to seventy or eighty kilograms after four months, but if it's a pig raised in the military farm, it's also April, can grow from 150 kilograms to slaughter."

"Hundred and fifty kilograms..."

Although everyone was still eating, they were shocked.

Liu Jian and others looked up in surprise.

A 150-pound pig... This is really a big deal.

And I only had four months of maintenance.

They knew more or less about raising sheep, after all, the court had to send ministers to take charge of horse politics, which included raising sheep in border towns.

Just talking about raising sheep, only 70 or 80 kilograms of meat grew in a year, which is a lot.

Just this is a rare thing. Many sheep are actually skinny and bone-skinned, with less meat, and more than fifty or sixty pounds.

And the pork grows so rapidly, isn’t it that the same time the meat produced is six or seven times that of sheep?

Emperor Hongzhi looked dull. He obviously didn't understand the strangeness here!

Seeing this, Xiao Jing quickly whispered in the secret words in Emperor Hongzhi's ear and explained patiently.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that the pigs grew so fast. Not only that, but there was so much meat produced?

Fang Jifan said: "What's more, pigs are omnivorous livestock, unlike sheep. Now I promote potatoes and sweet potatoes. I think in the future... The people's land will increase a lot of production. This increase is afraid that there will be an oversupply of food. The so-called low grain will hurt farmers. This is not unreasonable. But if there is excess food or some excess auxiliary food, if you really can't eat it, you can feed livestock. Isn't it good to use these surplus grains to exchange for a large amount of meat?"

It was really aroused by a word, and Liu Jian and others were already lit up.

The outflow of sweet potatoes and potatoes did cause a drop in land prices. Many of the ministers here have lost a lot, but this kind of thing is inevitable. Even if there is suffering, it is just hidden in your heart.

The essence of increasing grain production is that it is overeating. Hoarding it will cost money. Everyone has food to eat, so who still cares about food?

Therefore, a large amount of land will inevitably become deserted.

But what if these foods are useful?

People in the world are no longer short of food, but the meat is very scarce in the world.

Eating full is one thing, but eating well is not an easy task.

People say that people have vegetables. What is vegetables? To put it bluntly, they are just malnutrition. Not only can they not eat enough, but they also cannot eat well. Compared with the Tatars on the grassland, although they rely on fruits and grains to fill their stomachs, why do many people, although they work every day, actually don’t have much strength?

There is only one reason, that is, I can’t eat meat.

Fang Jifan was deeply touched by this.

In this era, not eating well is really related to physical fitness. For example, ordinary wealthy families, such as Fang Jifan, because they are rich in nutrients and protein can be fully guaranteed. Therefore, although Fang Jifan is only sixteen years old, he is already 1.7 meters tall, which is not too high compared to other nobles.

Similarly, if an ordinary citizen is 1.7 meters tall, he is already a "giant". Many people are only between 1.56 meters tall, even men.

In the last life, in the era when Fang Jifan grew up, almost every generation was higher than the next.

Height is one thing, and his physique is also coming to the Ming Dynasty. Fang Jifan only realized that a person who is familiar with bows and horses could actually beat more than a dozen people with his fists.

The reason is very simple. Being familiar with bow and horses is because of special training, while on the other hand, those who can play bow and horses are definitely among the wealthy families!

I don’t know how many times stronger it is to be better than those who can only make a living by yellow rice when they have no meat stars all year round. This is like how many people come to beat as many people, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

However, in this era, the efficiency of converting grain into meat is too low. To improve, we must first use sweet potatoes and potatoes to feed a large number of people, so that they can get food and clothing, and then have surplus grains, and at the same time, start large-scale breeding to solve this problem.

Raising pigs... is really beneficial to the country and the people.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi finally understood something!

His eyes opened slightly, and the light in his eyes had a bright luster. He stared at Fang Jifan tightly and asked with a little urgent question: "Can you really improve meat production so much?"

He was still a little unbelievable, but he felt more expectant!

If this is the case, it will solve the big problem, especially when grain is abundant, meat itself can replace grain for consumption!

Not only that, potatoes and sweet potatoes are actually not easy to store. Instead of spending time storing, it might be better to use them for raw meat. If the people can eat some meat every now and then, how good is this...

"I don't believe it, take me to see it."

Emperor Hongzhi, who was still hungry just now, no longer had the intention to eat anymore, because now there are things that are more important than fullness.

He had already suddenly risen.

Liu Jian and others also stood up one after another, and their minds were already starting to quickly think about it!

Raising pigs is obviously more cost-effective than raising sheep. What’s more important is that if you want to raising sheep, you have to bring the sheep around to graze. The Ming Dynasty was not a grassland, and there was no such much grass, so the scale of raising sheep was naturally smaller.

But now, food will inevitably be abundant in the future, so...

Under the urging of Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan had to lead everyone to the pigpen.

The pigpen was divided into two, and on one side were uncast pigs. Their size was obviously smaller!

At this time, these pigs happened to be in the estrus and had begun to become irritable!

Some pigs start to miss the tea and eat, but because they are not vented, they start foaming at the mouth and are even too lazy to eat. Looking closely, the pig is actually no different from the sheep, it is just a skin wrapped in bones.
