Food is the most important thing for people.

In this era of low productivity, food occupies the majority, and meat and poultry are the best supplements for it, especially the army, which is the lifeblood of the army.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Li Jia not only thought about soybean oil, but also prepared to use a large amount of side dishes, such as eggs, pork, etc. to supplement nutrition, thereby reducing the army's dependence on food.

Pigs are attracted by the emperor because of their large size, many baby boys, and omnivorous properties.

Moreover, a large amount of meat can not only be provided to the army, but also improve the food of ordinary people, making the army more powerful under the rule and the national strength.

Isn’t the so-called peaceful and prosperous era mean that people can eat enough?

Li Jia is one step further and strengthening her body is more important.

Therefore, cultivating suitable breeding pigs to benefit the people is put on the agenda.

China is the country with the richest pig breed resources in the world, accounting for 34% of the world's pig breeds. By the 21st century, it gradually decreases and slowly disappears.

Pork is an important means of production for Chinese people. They are both leftovers, leftovers, wild vegetables, and domestic pigs. They don’t choose leftovers, wild vegetables, or domestic pigs.

The pigs in the imperial village are long kisses black pigs, which means that if they are left in the wild for a few months, they will grow fangs and become authentic wild boars, one pig, two bears and three tigers.

Ninety percent of the pork in later generations were foreign pigs and feed pigs, so one swine fever could sweep away, while local pigs were not afraid of swine fever, but they gradually disappeared due to the lack of market.

"But what?" Li Jia frowned and asked.

"However, this baby is tall and can hold more than ten in a nest. Let's choose the strongest one as breeding pigs. Others are castrated, and the meat is very plump..." Old Man Zhou laughed.

"Which type of pig grows faster and produces high meat?" Li Jia shook her head.

He, as an emperor, is really responsible, and he has to take care of the cultivation of breeding pigs.

With the increase in castration technology, especially the demand for eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty, there were more experiments, which led to the rapid growth of local castration technology. Therefore, the technology of castration became popular, and hundreds of people made a living by castration technology.

When the pig is castrated, he loses his desire. After eating, sleeping, and eating, can he not gain weight? Moreover, the smell of stench is much weaker, so the pork is naturally delicious.

The Southern Han still made contributions to society.

There are many types of local pigs in China, including delicious meat, fast fat, and gentle, fast reproduction, and various types.

But what he likes most is that it grows fast, has good meat, is gentle, has a good yield, and is not prone to illness. Only such breeding pigs can be easily popularized.

For example, the fragrant pigs in Guangxi are small in size and beautiful in meat, but produce less meat. Adult pigs grow at most about 100 kilograms, which is not worth it at all.

"Your Majesty, the black pigs in Fuzhou have the most meat!" Old Man Zhou was immediately energetic when he heard this question: "The black pigs in Fuzhou can grow to more than 200 kilograms, and some even grow to three hundred kilograms, and they also produce more baby. One child can have seven, eight or ten, which is much more meat than our Lingnan pig (Little Ear Pig) and Hunan pig (Ningxiang Pig)!"

"Just a little less!"

"Hunan pigs have been thirsty for a hundred kilograms, which is not enough to eat at all!" Li Anguo, who was standing beside him, quickly echoed: "Besides delicious, nothing is good!"

"Thanks to His Majesty who captured the southern Fujian Palace, otherwise how could we have this Fuzhou pig to eat!" Old Man Zhou said with apologies and flattery.

"Fuzhou black pigs are heat-resistant but not cold-resistant. If winter comes, they will have to be slaughtered!"

"It's a good thing to kill pigs and eat meat on the morning day! Since the black pigs in Fuzhou are good, then continue to raise them!"

Li Jia narrowed her eyes and said, "Send people to Fuzhou to buy more pigs and continue to cultivate them. The imperial guards eat a lot of meat, and there is not enough food in Changsha City. The price of meat is still rising. Food is the most important thing for the people. We can't bear it if the people are wronged. Therefore, the imperial village should also expand its breeding as soon as possible!"

"This is a golden copper coins, so you can't let them flow away in vain!"

"Here--" Li Anguo responded quickly: "I immediately ordered to raise ten thousand pigs, no, ten thousand pigs, so that the people of Changsha City can eat pork in the morning!"

"That's good!" Li Jia nodded, looking moved: "As a king and a father, this is also my responsibility!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Anguo quickly flattered and burst into tears: "Your Majesty bears the burden of the world and is worried about the food of the common people. No saints from ancient times to the present can compare to!"

"Okay, there's no one else, it's over..." Li Jia kicked him in the butt and scolded with a smile.

"Let's go and see something else!"

Li Anguo smiled silly but didn't say anything. He thought to himself that it seemed that he would tell Di to report this matter, otherwise how would his Majesty's wiseness be reflected.

Immediately, Li Jia inspected again and found that the tofu planting had already spread. The mill kept producing soybean oil to the army every day, and the remaining soybean dregs were fed to pigs, cows and other animals. There were too many, so he sent them to the servants for taking them home.

"How much oil can be produced every day?" Li Jia asked, pointing to the mill.

"The military camp practices every day, eats heavy oil, and supplies a hundred stone soybean oil every day. If the remaining ones can be sold at the market, the people also like to eat it because it is cheap and can save food!"

“How many soybeans are grown nearby?”

"This year, there are more and less!" Li Anguo said: "The soldiers love to eat, and their families love to eat, which has led many people to eat, so today there are fewer people growing grain and more beans, and Changsha Mansion complains because of this!"

"What are you afraid of!" Li Jia shook his head and said indifferently: "If you eat too much oil, you will naturally eat less rice. Besides, the grain in Xichuan Prefecture and Badong Prefecture are piled up in mountains, so why are you afraid of not having enough food?"

Replacing grain with oil is a major project, with resistance in all aspects and requires patience. Li Jia asked the imperial village to implement it first and take the lead. When the army is popularized, the people will not be anxious.

"Let's go and see the beef!" Li Jia said with interest: "Beef is actually much better than pork!"

Li Anguo dared not accept this. The issue of the cow is related to the livelihood of the people. It has been a national important matter throughout history, and it is equivalent to the status of a horse.

"What, are you scared?" Li Jia smiled.

"I don't dare!" Li Anguo said helplessly.

"It's right if you don't dare. Let's talk about this in private!" Li Jia said seriously: "A great thing is very similar to a literati. He is very stubborn and believes in the truth, but it is indispensable. Are you surprised?"

In this era, cattle are the biggest production tool for farmers. The amount of cattle represents the amount of productivity. If you know the beef, you don’t know how many people give advice, and you never dare to eat it in the palace.

Li Jia came to the imperial village and inspected the second place for breeding pigs. Eating beef is the first place, and only here is the most comfortable.

As an emperor, you have to be able to pretend, and the person on the surface must have a good image.
